Campbell River’s Carter Johnson was recently chosen as one of the world’s top three young pianists.

Carter placed second in the Julia Crane International Piano Competition this fall at the Crane School of Music in New York. On Sept. 22, Carter travelled to New York for the competition, which brought together 12 competitors from as far away as China. Carter was one of four Canadians in the competition.

Pianists from around the world sent in their best recordings, but only 12 were chosen to travel to New York. One of them was Carter.

Carter practiced all summer — even on the neighbour’s piano while his family vacationed on Gabriola Island — so by the time of the New York competition, he was confident in the repertoire of pieces he had selected.

Shortly after arriving, Carter met his competitors. Many of them had already studied at prestigious insti-tutions such as the Juilliard school, one of them for six years.

“It was a very warm atmos-phere,” he says. “That was encour-aging. It’s nice that I was able to meet and befriend lots of my future colleagues.”

It was nothing like a reality TV show competition, he laughs.

“Everyone here had competed enough that they were comfortable with the competition process,” he says.

The competition spanned three days, and included several semin-ars. On the first day of competition, all 12 pianists performed for the international jury. Six were sup-posed to be selected to continue on; however, the jurors were so

impressed by the group’s skill that they allowed seven pianists to com-pete again on the second day.

Round two was the most stress-ful, Carter says, because the stan-dard of playing was even higher than the first round. However, he played with confidence and was thrilled when he was selected as one of the three finalists.

“My technique is to play as many different styles as possible,”

he says, explaining how he had a wide variety of shorter pieces in his repertoire instead of concentrating on a small number of longer pieces.

During the final round, each of the competitors performed a concerto with the Orchestra of Northern New York, with maestro Kenneth Andrews at the baton, and Johnson was chosen as the second place winner. He says it was thrill-ing to make it to the final round,

where all three competitors were so polished that dividing them into first, second and third was mostly a technical exercise.

Carter took home a $2,000 cash prize for his win, and also made some new friends. He still talks with some of the competitors and considers them his future colleagues in music.

Life is full of surprises, sometimes good sometimes less so. After attending the Remembrance Day ceremony in Campbell River I headed out to Menzies Creek, just up Island from town, for another scout around in search of adult salmon. Choosing to start in the lower section I received a positive sur-prise as soon as I accessed the creek at the footbridge on the Ripple Rock Trail.

Looking over I started seeing chum sal-mon, counting eight or 10 before I’d hardly got my wading boots wet! And that was just the beginning as I was able to account for about 100 fish in total scattered around the lower section, including a school of about 20 chums in one pool. I know this sounds pretty modest stuff compared to many small river systems but this count was far and away the largest daily total I’d seen in 20 years of looking in this creek.

In fact in 2008 and 2010 I didn’t see any sign of chums at all although in 2009, likely the contributing broodyear for many of the fish present this fall, I did see some. One useful feature of chum life-history is that they don’t all mature at the same age so the possibility exists that low or no return cycle-years will rebuild over time as fish

from more abundant broodyears return as age three, four or five year fish. Anyway, fingers crossed for a larger and more stable chum return to this fine looking little creek.

This local good news comes against a background of mixed chum returns around the south coast, very poor in some, OK but not great in others; unlike the pink salmon returns of 2013 no star performers for chums so far. In the former category the Nitinat River stands out. Traditionally a big producer of chums barely a quarter of the spawning escapement target arrived and the hatchery there acquired only one-third of its egg-take target. However not so far away in Nootka Sound I’m told the rivers there have had a decent return of chums this fall.

The return to the Campbell River has been estimated in a range of 20,000-25,000 chums, quite respectable for a short river with no enhancement. The Puntledge River achieved its escapement target of 60,000 fish and supported a gillnet fishery in the

northern approach waters, how-ever neither the Big or Little Qualicum rivers came anywhere close to their escapement tar-gets. Further down island the Englishman River chum return was poor but the Nanaimo River came close to meeting the escapement goal. The chum return to the Cowichan River is into six figures but by mid-month still had some way to go to meet the escapement target, and certainly the return this fall is considerably less than last

years big run of chums there. Once again the chum return to the Goldstream River near Victoria will meet the escapement target of 15,000 fish.

In general chum salmon don’t enjoy the same status as chinook, coho and sockeye salmon but the well-being of this second lar-gest of the Pacific salmon species is import-ant all the same, and not just to fishermen. Like pinks when abundant, their decaying carcasses provide an important nutrient hit for frequently nutrient poor river systems and chum eggs and fry are valuable food for

pre-migrant coho and steelhead juveniles as well as resident trout. All in all, other species of salmonids in a watershed do less well if the native chum stock is depressed or absent.

Like many with an interest in salmon, it was a pleasure to see the story of chum salmon returning to Still Creek in western Burnaby for the second year in a row receive such prominent coverage in mainstream media. What wasn’t so clear is how this creek geographically fit into the scheme of things in the Lower Mainland. With a bit of sleuthing I can report that Still Creek is a headwater tributary of the Brunette River system, flowing into Burnaby Lake. Once they leave the Fraser River, into which the Brunette flows, those chums have quite a hike across a heavily urbanized landscape – if they can survive and hopefully prosper there they should be able to exist anywhere there’s an appropriate water supply!

Funding for community-based sal-mon enhancement initiatives comes from an increasingly diverse array of sources. Obviously various government funds remain dominant and I

The Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) is the federal government’s special spy agency created in 2001 to combat terrorism by providing relevant intelligence to appropriate officials in Ottawa. More secret than the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), CSEC is now a $400 million-a-year organization with 2,000 employees. Its attention, however, has wan-dered from spying on terrorists to gathering information on Brazilian mining and energy ministries, then giving this information to competing Canadian corporations. But CSEC, it seems, has also been spying on environment-alists, then sharing this information with cor-porations whose projects might be comprom-ised by the constraints imposed on ecologically dangerous practices.

News of this association between CSEC and corporations surfaced through information leaked to the media by Edward Snowden, the former employee of a contractor to America’s National Security Agency (NSA). The close co-operative relationship between NSA and CSEC revealed that Canada was spying on Brazil. More disturbing than the embarrassing

Brazilian exposé, however, has been the revelation that since 2005, CSEC, in the company of both the RCMP and CSIS, has been meeting and briefing Canadian resource corporations about the activities of environ-mentalists who are critical of resource exploitation in Canada. (Elizabeth May, “Can You Keep a Secret”, Island Tides, Oct. 24/13).

Through a Freedom of Information request, The Guardian newspaper, according to Green Party MP Elizabeth May (Ibid.), procured a heavily redacted agenda of one such meeting hosted by Enbridge, the energy corporation that is encountering heavy environmental resistance to its proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, the controversialproject that is intended to move Alberta bitu-men over pristine wilderness to tankers on BC’s coast at Kitimat. Enbridge provided the coffee, refreshments and meals for this May 2013 meeting. The agenda included such items as “cyber security initiatives”, “economic and

corporate espionage”, “threats” to energy infrastructure, “security of energy resources development” — particularly in BC — and “chal-lenges to energy projects from environmental groups”.

Where national security is involved, these subjects are appropriate areas of exploration between such state agencies as CSIS, CSEC and the RCMP. But meetings of these spying and policing agencies with corpora-tions — particularly corporations heavily invested in controversial

projects — suggest the existence of a clandes-tine and devious dysfunction in Canadian pol-itical and economic activity. An assault on the integrity of open and transparent democratic processes in this country has implications that are obvious and disturbing. The compelling conclusion is that these government agen-cies are in collusion with corporate interests against the legitimate activity of ordinary Canadians who are merely attempting to safeguard Canada’s natural ecological treas-

ures from oil spills, mining pollution, climate change and other environmental threats.

This is an unsettling development because it suggests that the distinction between gov-ernment and corporation in Canada is now too thin to be separated — what’s deemed good for one is deemed good for the other. Public concern is incidental, inconvenient and obstructionist; public involvement is only required for the occasional formality of elec-tions.

The apparent collusion between the agen-cies of government and the interests cor-porations is just one more indication of the recent restructuring of Canada’s information landscape. A June 2012 Environics survey of 15,398 government scientists revealed that 90 per cent of them “do not feel they can speak freely about their work to the media,” said Gary Corbett, president of the Professional Institute of Public Service of Canada. “But,” he added, “it is even more troubling that, faced with a departmental decision of action that could harm public health, safety or the environment, nearly as

Ardent Angler from page 2.should note here that the federal Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnerships Program has announced it is seeking applications for the second round of project fund-ing in this $10 million initiative started earlier this year.

A recent private sector enhancement fund has been announced by Pacific Western Brewing, committing $20,000 to support grassroots salmon enhancement initia-tives across BC. Recently it awarded $3,000 to a group in Port Alberni so I’m sure there are plenty of potential applicants within the readership area of this newspaper.

I like the idea of buying beer knowing that some of the proceeds will go to a cause important to me so I undertook some research (twist my arm!) into Pacific Brewing’s products – so far their Genuine Draft is my favourite but I’ve several more varieties to work my way through and I encourage readers to do the same if you like both salmon and beer. Information on these enhance-ment funds can be found on the DFO and brewery web-sites.

Grigg from page 3.many scientists — 86 per cent — do not feel they could share their concerns with the media or public without censure or retaliation” (Globe and Mail, Oct. 22/13).

This feeling of repression, paranoia and fear is spreading beyond the community of Canadian scien-tists, abetted by the wholesale evisceration of environ-mental legislation and the crippling of agencies charged with enforcing the remnant of these laws. At the root of this contagion is a Prime Minister who is attempting to micromanage the reach of government, control infor-mation flow, manipulate public opinion and even cen-sure science for the economic benefit that is supposed to accrue to Canadians through the success of corporate endeavours. This is the same Prime Minister who felt significantly dictatorial to say he will refuse to accept an American “no” to the proposed Keystone XL pipeline intended to move Alberta bitumen to the refineries of America’s Gulf Coast.

At November’s Conservative Party Convention in Calgary, the Prime Minister was perfectly clear that his obsessive determination to make Canada a nation of resource extraction would not be thwarted by eco-logical concerns: “In this party, we will not accept that environmental protection must stop economic develop-ment” — a threat he did quality with, “We must have both,” but given his government’s abysmal environ-mental record, “both” can only mean “one”.

The drastic methods used to reach this single object-ive are so contrary to the most fundamental environ-mental principles, and the compulsive agenda is so transparently obvious to thoughtful Canadians, that the collective effect is a growing national nervousness. The Prime Minister has increased this tension by offering an even more ominous comment in a candid conversa-tion with Noah Richler, reported in the National Post (May 5/12): “You won’t recognize Canada when I’m through with it.” Indeed.

Carter from page 1.Carter is currently preparing for conservatory

auditions for the September 2014 year. The schools on his list have high standards, but so does he. He’s been playing piano since he was a child, studying for years with local teacher Shelley Roberts, and has several major competi-tions and performances already listed on his résumé.

This summer, Carter was chosen to perform as a soloist with the Victoria Symphony Orchestra for the Victoria Symphony Splash. He performed Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G with the orchestra, on a barge for an audience of over 40,000 that filled the harbour and surrounding area.

“I have played for crowds that I thought were big, but nothing compares to that,” he says. “Itwas quite an honour, because I was the first solo-ist that was not a Victorian — the first person from the North Island — and it was great to rep-resent Campbell River on the barge.”

He is spending the winter season practicing and preparing, and looking for more competi-tions to keep his talent sharp. He’s not sure yet where he will end up, but one thing is certain: Carter’s talent and drive has put Campbell River on the musical map.

The Museum at Campbell River, as part of its Fall Lecture Series, presents author Jim McDowell on Saturday, Nov. 23, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. McDowell will present aspects of his book ‘Father August Brabant: Saviour or Scourge’.

Father August Brabant (1845–1912) was the first Roman Catholic mission-ary to live and work among aboriginal people on the west coast of Vancouver Island during the colonial period. He endured long periods of isolation, built a

number of log churches and undertook extraordinarily difficult trips along the west coast in dugout canoes. His 33-year long effort to transform Nuu-chah-nulth culture gives us a provocative case study of the dynamics that shaped, and con-tinue to define, the settler/colonial rela-tionship between indigenous peoples and the state in Canada.

Convinced he had a mission to save the indigenous people from being them-selves, the zealous priest strove to instill

alien spiritual beliefs. He served as a willing instrument for imposing colonial power by introducing new forms of jus-tice, commerce, dress, housing, personal identity, and— most devastating of all—schooling. As the father of Vancouver Island’s first large residen-tial school, Brabant precipi-tated the single institution that

proved most destructive to the people he set out to ‘rescue’. Brabant’s biography will be of interest to historians, anthro-pologists, political scientists, individuals engaged in First Nations Studies, and general readers.

Jim McDowell is a veteran freelance historian who has authored six books. Hamatsa: The Enigma of Cannibalism on the Pacific Northwest Coast (1997) remains the unchallenged authoritative analysis of this controversial issue. José Maria Narváez: The Forgotten Explorer is the only biography written about the first European actually “to discover” what is now Vancouver. He lives in Steveston, leads a multi-ethnic seniors walking group, and monitors numerous bald eagle nests.

The cost for the talk is $6. Please call the Museum at 250-287-3103 to reserve a seat.

Christmas

In the middle of a West Coast winter, what is a Season of Light? These are the months in which we may need more light to brighten the darker, shorter days of the celestial calendar. Our routines may shift, our activities change, how we dress and what we feel changes too. It is also the time of the year when we might celebrate holidays such as Christmas, Solstice, Ramadan, Kwanza, Noel, or Chanukah.

The Comox Valley Art Gallery and Berwick Comox Valley team up to present an exhibit called Season of Light. Artists were invited to create a 3D miniature scene or diorama, incorporating or expressing human interac-tion and/or celebration of the Season of Light. Artists & designers were encouraged to use any materials such as stained glass, wood, metal, fur, bread, leather, candy, pop cans, paper, or carpet to build a scene of whimsical, inno-vative, theatrical and artistic endeavor. Some of the sub-missions explore snow play scenes, winter nature scenes, winter urban scene - there are many interpretations for this theme, all unique and creative.

Everyone is invited to attend the Opening Reception & Awards, to get a first look at the artworks and celebrate the artists’ achievements.

The reception will take place at Berwick CV (1700 Comox Ave) on Tuesday November 19th at 7pm-9pm. Admission is free, refreshments will be served and the artists will be attendance. The Awards presentation will also take place at around 7:30pm. The prizes, sponsored by Berwick Comox Valley, will be awarded and they are: $500 for Artistic Merit and Creative Response to “Season of Light”, $400 for Outstanding Message of Community, $300 for Most Creative Use of Materials and $300 for the People’s Choice Award (which will be awarded at the end of the exhibition).

After the Reception, the artworks will be displayed in the front windows of Comox Valley Art Gallery from Friday November 22 - December 28. Friday November 22 is also the kick-off of Downtown Courtenay’s Moonight and Magic, as well as Winterfest.

For more information, contact CVAG at 338-6211 or visit the website.

‘Comox Golf’, by Peter Moore

‘The Brushworks’ show at Pearl Ellis Gallery

A winter scene by Maxine Horner

No matter the weather, you can insert some colour and light into November and December by visit-ing the Brushworks Show and Sale at the Pearl Ellis Gallery - in downtown Comox!

In plenty of time for Christmas giving, The Brushworks Art Show and Sale will run from November 19th to December 8th (except Mondays when the Gallery is closed).

One of the member artists will be in attendance on each after-noon that the gallery is open.

The Brushworks is a diverse painting group which includes numerous well-known local artists and long-time members.

The group was established in the nineties and has a total of 28 members who meet Wednesdays from September to June at the Lions Den.

Together they provide one another with encouragement, challenge and inspiration in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. The resulting artwork is varied and impressive.

These artists are an upbeat group who welcome learning new techniques from each other and from workshops, thus keeping their work fresh and interesting. There is always a waiting list to join Brushworks, but spots do open up occasionally.

A reception for the show will be held on Saturday, November 23rd.

Come join us for refreshments from 1 pm to 4 pm at the Pearl Ellis Gallery located at 1729 Comox Ave. This is a great opportunity to meet the artists.

Visitors can expect to see quali-ty pieces of artwork in water-colour, acrylic and oils, by both established and emerging artists, in ranges of style to suit all tastes.

At the reception, any new or existing member of the Pearl Ellis Gallery will receive a 10% dis-count on artwork purchased. FMI see www.pearlellisgallery.com

The Comox Valley Concert Band invites everyone to come out and enjoy their show, aptly named, “Remembering.” November is the month to remem-ber. Summer is now over and the falling leaves remind us of seasons past. The art of music carries in its strains the power to resurrect the past and to con-nect us with memories.

Guest bagpiper Esther Blackburn will be playing with the band for a few selections.

This entertaining show is a fundraiser for the Evergreen Club. Tickets are just $5.00 each with tea and coffee served at intermission.

Please support the Evergreen Club and the Comox Valley Concert Band; two worthy organizations with a solid reputation in our community.

Did you know the CVCB has a long history all the way back to 1920 when it was named the Courtenay town band? In the late 1940’s, the band abandoned its original military discipline (and lost the scratchy uniforms.)

The show is Sunday, November 24th at 2:00 PM with the doors opening at 1:30 PM in the Florence Filberg Centre, upper Conference Hall. Get your tick-ets through Courtenay Recreation- Florence Filberg Centre. FMI call 250-338-1000

The Comox Valley Potter’s Club 22nd holi-day sale will be held at The Florence Filberg Centre in Courtenay on Saturday, November 23 from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Admission is a loonie, and partial proceeds will go to our local food bank.

‘Light the Fire’ holiday sale has become a much anticipated event for locals, islanders and visitors alike wishing to shop for that per-fect gift. This year’s sale boasts over twenty potters, all with their own uniquely creative style.

Over the years Vancouver Island and more specifically the Comox Valley has become B.C.’s Pottery Mecca. Ceramic artists, in fact artists of all strips, are drawn to the island as it’s extreme beauty is an unyielding source of inspiration. You will see the colours, textures, local themes and even landscapes that draw people to the island in the vessels and ceramic sculptures for sale at this event.

Many people, even those who have had hands-on exposure to the world of ceramics, are often surprised to know how many meth-ods there are for firing pots. This variety gives the artists the individuality they strive for. The pieces presented at ‘Light the Fire’ all come with a story told by a local artist speaking to you through their art. By purchasing work at this show you will be leaving with affordable art and knowing that you have supported your community and a local artist - because buying local just makes sense.

Here are just a few of the techniques used by the artists to fire their work:

ELECTRIC FIRINGThis is where the piece is glazed and fired in

an electric kiln most often indoors. The skilled artist can achieve remarkable results with tech-niques and glazes tested many times. Majolica ware often captures the whimsy of the artist and electric fired crystalline glazes are a testa-ment to the alchemy of the glaze world. There are countless ways that the potter can exploit the electric kiln.

GAS KILNSThese kilns are usually fired outdoors using

propane or natural gas. The kilns are often built put of specialized bricks by their owners. Every potter has their own special method to fire their kiln - often making slight changes with each firing seeking to perfect the results in every unique kiln load. In all fuel fired kilns the operator controls the atmosphere within the kiln regulating the amount of oxygen allowed in and thereby altering the glaze responses within the kiln.

PIT FIRINGThe once fired pots are gently layered with

leaves, straw, wood, seaweed, banana peel, oxides etc. etc. outside in a pit. Once loaded the pit it is lit and slowly burned over about 24 hours. What goes in the pit and how long it burns is entirely up to the artist. These pots are works of art they’re not meant to be functional items. As one can imagine, the pots are deli-cate and not every one survives the process - making the ones that do just that much more special.

RAKUThis method has its roots in Japanese cul-

ture and has been adapted by North American potters. The pots are fired outside in a raku kiln and when the artist decides that the glazes are mature they are pulled out. While molten hot the work is placed in a reduction bin of combustible material and allowed to light on fire. The bin is then sealed and the fire extin-guished. In this way the artist controls the

atmospheric oxygen, thereby creating the sig-nature crackle, luster and metallic glazes peo-ple are drawn to.

SALT FIRINGThe kiln used for this method of firing is

used for salt-fired pottery exclusively. The char-acteristic orange-peel-like glaze is formed by throwing table salt into the kiln when it is very hot. The salt vaporizes and combines with the silica in the clay body and forms the textured glaze surface these pieces are known for. Colour is added via slips, oxides or liner glaz-es. A special wading on their base prevents the pots from sticking to the kiln shelves and cre-ates unique markings on their underside.

WOOD FIRING The pots for this type of firing are also

waded on their undersides. Once loaded the specialized kiln is bricked up in a way that provides access to an area of the kiln that con-tains the wood fire that will heat the kiln. Wood will be added to this fire for many hours, sometimes days until the kiln reaches tempera-ture. The pots are coated with Shinos, Oribes and glazes that favour the fly ash and the solu-ble salts and minerals provided by the wood used in the firing. Together these elements cre-ate the unique and beautifully earthy glazes found only in wood fired pots.

These are just a few of the different ways that “Light the Fire” artists will be firing their work for the Comox Valley Potter’s Club 22rd annual sale. You are encouraged to bring your friends on Saturday, November 23rd and sup-port your community by buying local art!

Partial proceeds from LIGHT THE FIRE will help to support the many community interests we have including the local food bank once again.

Each year we present a bursary to a North Island College Ceramics student as well as assisting with equipment and kiln maintenance in their ceramics department. We are strong supporters of Y.A.N.N.A each year with our Chili Bowl event and we provide opportunities for community members to have a table at our Holiday Sale to fundraise for various causes. Again we look forward to seeing you on November 23rd.

Dream It, Drive It, Buy It Because You’re Worth It.

Think Garywww.thinkgary.com

Two Eagles Lodge is pleased to announce a November 22nd house concert featuring Ray Materick, Shelley Gravelle, and the BettyBGidd Band (including former Comox Valley musicians Bettyanne and Gidd Hampton).

Ray Materick is a well-known Canadian singer-songwriter from Ontario, who emerged on the inter-national music scene in the 1970s when he garnered Top 20 Radio hits with songs like, Linda Put The Coffee On, which was one of the first Cancon radio standards.

Ray’s wife, Shelley Gravelle, is a slide guitar player who was raised in Ontario in a “musical family” and inspired by the greats of Blues... people like Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Ella Fitzgerald, Willie Dixon and Billie Holiday. The featured musicians met up in the northern regions of British Columbia.

Gidd and BettyAnne Hampton, former Comox-Valley residents and musicians who were very active in the area’s music scene, are also quite the accomplished musical duo-now residing in Fort St. John, BC.

An island native, Gidd combines his passion and extraordinary skill on guitar with a unique voice and attitude; Bettyanne, who fell in love with the accordion, not only owns one, “but actually plays it like she is pulling your heart out with each push and pull of the squeezebox,” says a fellow musician.

The BettyBGidd band, formed in the couple’s new hometown of Fort St. John, also features a drummer, Dave Tolley, who has played percus-sion for years. He has recorded and/or toured with Xavier Rudd, Nine Mile, Dayna Manning, Danny Michel, Mike Alviano, Peter Katz, Melissa Larkin and many others.

Seats ($25 each) are limited, so advance reservations are essential; phone Carolyn at 250-335-2342. There is no corking fee, and guests are invited to bring an appetizer or

dessert to share and/or a non-perish-able food item for the Comox Valley Food Bank.

Two Eagles Lodge, an award-win-ning B&B that opened in 2007, is

located at 6409 Island Highway South, just north of the Buckley Bay ferry terminal. The owners, Carolyn and Steve Touhey, are great fans of live music and are happy to host such an intimate event with such talented musicians.

Ms. Touhey says, “House concerts are so intimate. To have this caliber of music that we can share with oth-ers at our home is a privilege.” She adds, “Anytime we can hear Gidd and Bettyanne light up a room with their energy and amazing talent is a treat, so we are very excited to hear their collaboration with these other extraordinary musicians!”

Two Eagles Lodge was the original accommodations sponsor associated with VIMBC and also sponsor of the 2012 Vancouver Island Music Awards. In addition to hosting house con-certs, the B&B is also a venue for weddings, retreats, personal/busi-ness parties.

Ray Materick

House Concert with Ray MaterickEsencia Flamenca

Esencia Flamenca is a Comox Valley-based Flamenco troupe of musicians and dancers. Though not authentically from Spain, they deliv-er a passion for Flamenco that is straight from the heart, engaging and inspired.

They perform this Thursday, November 21st at the Zocalo Café from 7-9 pm. The show is a celebra-tion of the beautiful and multi-facet-ed music and dance traditions that were born in the Middle-Ages with the arrival of the gypsy people in the Andalusia region of Spain. Drawing from ancient sources, the Flamenco art form encompasses deep Arabic, Indian and African roots.

The Zocalo kitchen features authentic tapas on special which, served with wine, make a perfect pairing for the Spanish-themed eve-ning. Featured Flamenco dancers are Tomomi Osaki and her students Edith Jacob and Laura Busheikin. Oscar Robles is on guitar and Britt Bowman on vocals with Osaki and Robles also featured as vocalists at times. Fiery footwork (zapateos) and rhythmic handclaps (palmas) also contribute an essential part of

the music. As is typical of Flamenco shows in

Spain, the repertoire the Esencia Flamenca group will be presenting at the Zocalo Café comprises a variety of palos -that is to say song forms; and, there are many. Rumbas and Tangos are some examples of different Flamenco palos. Alegrias, Bulerias, Soleares and Tientos are other exam-ples, each with a unique sound and feeling.

There is no cover charge to see Esencia Flamenca’s performance at the Zocalo, but donations are grate-

fully accepted. As seating is limited, dinner reser-

vations are recommended for large groups and must be made by phone: 250-331-0933. The Zocalo Café is located at Fifth Street at the corner of Cliffe Avenue in Courtenay. For more information please visit www.zocalo-cafe.ca

Whether performing as a solo artist or presenting as part of a group, Mexico-born musician Oscar Robles Diaz performs monthly at the Zocalo on the third Thursday of each month.

WHAT’SONIn the Comox Valley

Please join us for a casual evening of Jazz from 7-9 pm on Sat, Nov. 23 featuring local favorite Ken Hatch (solo guitar/trumpet) and Gary Manzer (rhythm guitar) along with special guests Jake Masri on trumpet, flugelhorn and vocals, and Grahame Edwards on bass.

No stranger to the local music scene, Jake Masri draws his inspiration from classical repertoire to musical theater to Afro-Cuban/New Orleans, and Bebop styles. His passion for jazz is directly linked to artists such as Herb Alpert, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, and Arturo Sandoval. As a performance major at VCC, UVIC, and UBC, Jake studied trumpet with Boyd Hood, Gerald Gerbrecht, and trombonist, Dave Robbins. His studies in jazz exposed him to pros such as Mike Herriot, Bill Clarke, and Hugh Fraser during the local CYMC summer program. Among his favorite vocal instructors are Ann Mortifee, Rhiannon, Ysaye Barnwell, and Wendy Nixon Stothert. Since moving to Comox in 2002, Jake has appeared with Quintessence Brass; 6th Street, Jazztown, Forbidden Jazz Trio, Lensmen, and Jazz Noir combos; Sounds of 17, Georgia Straight, Arrowsmith, and CR Big Bands; Zandhunga

Latin Combo, Strathcona Symphony Orchestra, and Just in Time Jazz Choir.

Talented multi instrumentalist Grahame Edwards studied music at the University of British Columbia and holds a Diploma in Fine Arts from the University of Calgary. Aside from both acoustic and electric bass, Grahame also plays percussion and trumpet. He has appeared with countless local ensem-bles & productions in every genre from cho-ral to musical theatre, big band jazz to clas-sical. His first musical love, however, lieswith improvised music and he enjoys play-ing and composing his own jazz tunes. In addition to performing, Grahame has taught both privately and in the Campbell River School District, and enjoys sharing his music by conducting workshops and clinics. Over the years, he has studied with many respected Jazz musicians including Don Clarke, Phil Nimmons, Chris Nelson, and Paul Horn.

A suggested donation of $10/person includes snacks and refreshments and music commences at 7 pm. Due to limited seating, please reserve in advance by contacting Rick or Ann Paisley 250 650 8533.

Hope to see you there.

On the heels of two stellar evenings of music, the monthly Fall Jazz Series at The Little Red Church continues thisThusrday at 7:30.

Professor Gregory Bush is thrilled to bring the 17-piece Vancouver Island University Big Band for an evening performance.

The University students are serious musicians, many of whom will be embarking on full time careers in the music industry, upon receiving their music degrees at Vancouver Island University.

This will be another exceptional evening of enter-tainment as these music stars of tomorrow present their musical interpretation of the great standards and more.

The Band is expertly conducted by Vancouver Island University Professor, Gregory Bush, who is the Valley’s very own “Marathon Music Man”, having logged in excess of 40,000 kilometers over the years from his home in Nanaimo, to support and conduct the Georgia Strait Big Band.

Greg is a major contributor to the Jazz and music education scene in the Valley and is a fine musician, who loves to teach.

Greg is originally from Montreal and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Concordia University and “Master of Music in Jazz Performance” from McGill University.

In addition to a University teaching career, Greg has enjoyed a career as a busy freelance trumpet player, arranger and composer.

As a sideman, Greg has had the good fortune of playing in bands that have accompanied artists such as Big Miller, Bobby Shew, Lee Konitz and Dizzy Gillespie.

For this months’ “opening act” you will experience the “Mystic Valley Voices” choral group which is dedicated to the art of universal devotional chanting, with soothing harmonic meditations.

Joining the Jazz Series team are Heather and Allison, otherwise known as “The JazzVille Cafe” and will be offering an excellent selection of home baked goodies, tea and coffee.

The Little Red Church, along with “JazzVille Promotions” are looking forward to another fantastic evening of music and entertainment.

Doors open at 7:00. Advance tickets are $10.00 ($12 at the door) and

available at Bop City Records and The Red Carpet Boutique in Comox.
