Bowen Island Fire Rescue responded to a house fire on Miller Rd. Wednesday morning.

and the fire did not spread to surrounding buildings said Bowen Island fire chief Aaron Hanen. The building itself, in the seven hills area of Miller Rd. between Collins Farm Lane and Scarborough Rd. was destroyed.

The fire was started by a BBQ said

Hanen.

Miller Rd. was closed for a few hours mid Wednesday as firefighters got the fire under control and cleaned up.

RCMP opened up a detour through David Rd. (a private road on Millers Landing) during the Miller Rd. closure.

On July 18, the Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG) opened “Modern in the Making,” an important look back at the explosion of post-war creativity here in B.C. expressed in design and crafts between 1945 and 1975.

The war industry had developed basic materials like plywood, bent wood and aluminium for war plane construction, steel rod and angle iron, synthetics and plastic laminates. “Modern in the Making” takes the viewer from quickly emerging civilian market product design through to fusion with the Pop and Op Art of the ’70s.

Allan Collier, the collector of B.C.-originating design and production has acquired artifacts for about 50 years.

About 75 per cent of the VAG’s show is loaned by him from his collection. After researching in the Vancouver Sun, Allan found a picture of my original “Vancouver Chair” in a 1969 issue of the Vancouver Sun and contacted me.

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) had invited for a nation-wide craft and design show. I sent my contribution: pollyfoam cushions in psychedelic fabric held together by plexiglass and corner lace. An invitation by the National Design Centre followed, for which I created a four-piece settee, shown later that year on Toronto.

I changed the containment frame to aluminium and chose just four solid colours for the upholstery. The powerful Eastern Canadian Furniture Industry ignored my design and Scandinavian Teak designs had become popular. And since I did not have the money to flood the market the “Vancouver Set” became and remained a “one of.”

Cleo doesn’t wander too far from home these days.

Mere days after the six-year-old cat’s family moved into a new home by the Legion, Cleo escaped out the window and disappeared. That was last October.

After putting up posters of Cleo, canvassing their old neighbourhood by Whitesails Dr. and following up on all possible sightings, Sandie Paterson still had no luck finding her elusive cat.

That is until July, when Paterson’s old landlord at a different former home, in Eaglecliff, called to say she thought she’d spotted Cleo.

So Patterson went out to the Eaglecliff property on the water and set up a live trap.

“On the third day, we get a call before 7 a.m. saying, ‘The cat trap is sprung and we think there’s a cat in it.’”

They rushed down to the trap and lo and behold, it was Cleo. “I was just crying,” said Paterson. “It was relief, absolute relief to have her back and then wondering if she would be feral.

“But she wasn’t any of those things. She was the same loving cat she always was.”

“We brought her home and she was just so happy to be home,” said Paterson. There was lots of purring, headbutting and the cat was also very hungry.

Later that day, Paterson brought Cleo to the vet to be deflead and dewormed. She seemed to be a healthy cat.

After nine months gone, Cleo had lost only a pound.

“She’s a great hunter,” explained Paterson.

“Because she would be too shy to go to somebody…I’m sure she lived on mice and birds and whatever else she could find,” said Paterson.

By the time Cleo rejoined her family, they had already gotten another cat––Luna––and the two get along well. (Rocky, the family’s other cat, on the other hand, has his nose a bit out of joint that Cleo’s back.)

Though she hoarded food at first, Cleo’s appetite has returned to normal and she’s just one happy kitty.

Too much tiramisu

After spending some time in a different (and large) bubble, I’ve been isolating from the bubble I normally live in so as to make sure I’m not doing any cross-contaminating (a personal choice, not a provincial instruction). While I’ll have (separate) meals or a glass of wine outside with the family, we’re staying distant.

This leaves me with a lot of time to myself. Sometimes this means I break out the painting set and try to arrange coloured streaks in something identifiable (so far I’ve painted a mountain and a cliff, and no, you can’t tell them apart) or, as was the case Saturday night, it means pulling out the cooking apron.

Now, being in a bubble of one is either the worst time to break out the ladyfingers, whipping cream and coffee liqueur or the best. But when the cravings call, one must answer.

So that’s how I found myself at 10 p.m. spending 45 minutes (an entire episode of Netflix’s High Seas) trying to whisk a cup and a half of cream into whipped cream (guess who doesn’t have egg beaters). While the finished product was a little lumpy (the marscapone would not smooth out) and perhaps aesthetically affected by the chef sampling the liqueur, I’ve had more tiramisu in the past three days than I think I’ve eaten in my entire life. It tasted excellent at first. Going on day four of tiramisu for breakfast, I might be a salad for breakfast convert.

So are the culinary casualties of COVID-19.

Now, despite my newfound distaste for a certain Italian dessert, my point remains: I would rather a self-inflicted upset stomach than potentially infecting my loved ones. Please be careful. Discuss your comfort levels with your bubblemates and listen to Dr. Bonnie Henry’s daily updates. We’re trending up in COVID numbers. There were 14 new cases in the North Shore Coast Garibaldi health region between July 30 and Aug. 6. The pandemic isn’t over and we cannot act like it is. There are lives––your neighbours’, your loved ones’ and possibly your own––that depend on us bending the curve back down.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A personal case for the health centre DEAR EDITOR: I am writing to share the personal reasons why I was moved to donate to help build a community health centre on Bowen.

Two years ago I went through the incredibly painful and difficult experience of caring for––and ultimately losing––my husband Ken, when a cancer we thought he was clear from returned suddenly in a very aggressive form.

In the end, nothing could slow down or stop his illness. And while a health centre on Bowen would have helped us to better manage some very stressful times in the initial stages, it admittedly would have made no difference to the final outcome.

However, the experience starkly underlined the vulnerability we all share when it comes to our health. None of us can predict when a health issue will suddenly take centre stage and dominate our life. But when that happens, the complication and stress of having to continually go off-island to get medical attention adds a major practical and emotional burden to the overall toll of dealing with an illness. And––as a recent episode with my own health reminded me––

when a sudden injury or health flare-up demands immediate medical attention, we can potentially be at serious risk if we have to travel off-island to get help.

That is why I was so encouraged to learn that Bowen’s community health centre is getting closer to becoming a reality. It means we could soon have access to the health care most communities in B.C. take for granted.

It also greatly increases my confidence I will be able to age in place here on Bowen.

Creating this community health care centre for Bowen is about building community at the most basic level. I strongly believe it is something we all need to support. It felt good to make my donation and be part of that shared effort -- and very fitting to do so in Ken’s memory.

These days my dear dog Booker and I are getting used to living on our own in the home that Ken and I planned, built, and loved. More than ever, this is the place I cherish and where I want to grow old.

If you feel the same way, I urge you to contribute whatever you can afford so we can make this health centre a reality.

We need community more than ever, centre will nurture it DEAR EDITOR: This June marks my 27th year living on Bowen Island and I know the drive to build a community centre had historical precedent even then. For three years I chaired one of the dozens of committees that have existed over the years, spending hundreds of hours in meetings planning, designing and working the numbers. I don’t doubt that the results of the efforts of each of these committees over three decades have all in some way informed the brilliantly designed facility that has been chosen to receive support from the provincial and federal governments’ Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program.

My passion for the dream is as a result of performing in countless community halls and centres across Canada and having such a tangible and powerful sense of the role the building plays in a community. No matter how simple or elaborate, it is a galvanizing force, providing a gathering place that includes the visual and performing arts, programs for young children, seniors, and families and a space to gather and celebrate the myriad of human milestones––a central place to engage in so many of the activities that make a community healthy, vibrant, creative and connected. In every town I have visited, the community halls and centres are loved and cared for by the members of the community with a deep sense of pride and stewardship.

I have longed for Bowen to be able to benefit from such a place and the time has finally come.

I urge everyone to ask whatever questions they may have to ensure a well-educated affirmative vote in the upcoming referendum.

Shari Ulrich

DEAR EDITOR: Bowen Islanders, this is your chance to bring home a community centre to our island.

Long overdue!

After so many years of work and effort by so many dedicated people, we now have the chance to build a facility that will truly bring the word “community” to our island.

In this time of COVID-19, I think we are appreciating even more than ever our little island and how important “community” is to all of us. A community centre will enhance our island in so many ways. It will be a gathering place for us to meet and chat, a place to recreate, a place to experience cultural events. With the likelihood of many more people working from home, a community centre becomes even more important as people will need to reach out to have those social connections that they may no longer have in the workplace.

Yes, the centre will have the municipal hall––something I have not always supported but it makes economic sense to bring it into one facility and to use that rent money to pay ourselves. Yes, there are other issues on the island requiring financial investment and there always will be. We now have almost $8 million from the two governments. If we say no on the referendum, I do not believe that we will have opportunities to receive a grant like this in the near future. Yes, there are people who say this is too expensive for our small island and yes, if we had built this maybe 30 years ago, we might have volunteers stepping forward to build something much more modest. But, I believe we have moved past that phase on Bowen Island. We are our own community but we are also a suburb with a wonderful mix of families, many commuters, retired types––and we need something more than just a large barn structure. We need something that we will be proud of, that will attract off islanders to our cultural events and performances, as well as provide a community space for all of us who live here.

Let’s make this happen––please vote “yes” on Sept. 12.

Bowen Island Municipality

Do you have an idea to help Bowen Islanders feel less isolated during COVID-19?

Small grants. Beautiful ideas. $50 to $500 grants to bring your project to life.

A cycle safety event was held during the afternoon commuter hours one July afternoon to help bring awareness to safe driving around cyclists. This is particularly important on Bowen where the roads are narrow, winding and usually have no paved shoulders, which means bikes have to share the road with vehicles.

Provincial legislation requires motorists to pass cyclists at a safe distance, which is a standard minimum of one to 1.5 metres.

Drivers should watch for cyclists, respect speed limits and slow down if conditions are not safe for passing.

This event was part of the municipal Transportation Plan implementation that aims to create simple, seamless and sustainable transportation options for every Bowen Islander, which most definitely includes bikes!

We called the deer Cinnamon; Cindy for short. We can’t tell you whether Cindy is male or female, and he/she/they could be more than one deer who happen to look alike. We live over at Bowen Bay. I hope those of you who drive through Bowen Bay drive slowly because the deer often cross the road without looking. Cindy is probably one of these deer or maybe more.

Cindy has been through our place many times this year while we have been around respecting COVID-19. When they nibbled too much at some of the early spring growth in our ornamental garden a little Bobbex capsaicin cocktail added too much spice for their taste and they moved on to other pastures but came back here frequently through the early summer months; once with a gorgeous spotted youngster (photo). Once the growth in the garden had matured, they lost interest and very little pepper spray has been needed.

The other evening I walked by the lawn to the workshop. Cindy, lying on the grass a respectable 2 m from the pathway watched me walk past without feeling the need to rise. On my part, I walked quietly, murmuring soothing comments.

We have no enclosing fences around our property. Why should we? We don’t have any veggies or fruit to protect. So much of what is on the lot is the same vegetation as the forest outside, except for a small garden area. The deer wander through from time to time, and we like their presence. When we have walked through some of the new devel-

opments up the hill, there are some very elaborate and expensive fences keeping the deer out and proudly proclaiming “Private Property.”

The people who live within these fences are missing a rich part of Bowen life. The deer are with us year-round and we enjoy their company. Sure, they litter the place with treats but it only takes a moment to move those on so they don’t get walked into the house. The deer are an important reason for observing the speed limits and remind us that we can enjoy something special living on this little island just far enough away from the city. They are welcome.

The men kept singing: choir continues during pandemic BRONWYN BEAIRSTO

Editor

It was to a soundtrack of Beethoven’s ‘Ode to Joy’ (in German), ‘Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis’, ‘And So It Goes’

by Billy Joel, that Bowen’s dedicated men’s choir Men on the Rock went virtual this spring.

As the pandemic crashed over Canadians’ lives and normal activities screeched to a halt, conductor Nicole Thomas Zyczynski kept up all three of her choirs with the magic of Zoom (and not a little bit of multitasking skill.)

“I had to play the music and I had to sing everybody’s part one at a time,” said Nicole.

Men on the Rock had just started a new season in February and so the men had several new songs to learn and hadn’t had much in-person time together.

“Some of the songs were in foreign languages so here was a chance to really do some detailed and focused work, which actually worked quite well over Zoom,” said Nicole.

The one on one parts, when Nicole would say something and the singer says it back, that worked well. “What, of course, all choirs and bands realized is that there’s a delay in the sound so we can’t actually sing at the same time and hear each other,” she said. “I just had to sing their parts and assume that

they’re singing along.”

For two and a half hours at a time, Nicole would play the piano, turn the pages, operate the mic and computer and sing. A Zoom update later made it so participants could mute and unmute themselves, which took one task off Nicole’s plate.

After a certain point in the pandemic, a few of the men of Men on the Rock joined Nicole at her home for rehearsals while the rest continued participating over Zoom. “That was great for the other singers because they could hear what the bass voice sounded like, what a tenor voice sounded like and I was singing the missing part.”

“I have to say to put those songs together after having not met for two months. It was a delightful surprise,” she said. “The guys had done their work. They had learned the songs. They had learned the languages, French and German and Latin and Spanish, and put it all together. It was very pleasing.”

The virtual experience wasn’t the same though. “Those who were singing at home alone, they didn’t find it quite

as fun,” said Nicole.

“They all said to me that it was better than nothing…it was a way of staying in touch.”

“Because that’s part of choirs too,” said Nicole. “It’s not just the songs but it’s also the camaraderie.”

“I know for many it was their only activity during COVID––it was their only sort of escape out of hearing all of the news and all of this… so it was a breath of fresh air.”

Performances have posed another obstacle as they’re usually the culmination of months of hard work and for some singers it’s a goal they work toward. For others, the rehearsals are their fun. But Nicole is working on how the show might go on.

Men on the Rock is meeting next week to discuss how to continue safely.

“Hopefully we’ll come to an agreement of how we move forward and continue forward in a different fashion,” said Nicole.

“I’ve heard time and time again from choirs and conductors that this is good food for our souls and being silenced like this is awfully frustrating,” said Nicole.

Men on the Rock is recruiting for September and Nicole invites interested men to try them out in September either on Zoom or in person in a small group and large safe space. Contact Nicole at 778-926-4286 or by email: ntzharmonium@mac.com.

Are you in favour of enacting Bowen Island Municipality Loan Authorization Bylaw No.477, 2019, which authorizes the Bowen Island Municipality to borrow a sum of up to $4,040,000 to complete the funding required to construct a community centre for Bowen Island?”

Any persons entitled to vote as electors within Bowen Island Municipality, who are not election officials, are entitled to act as scrutineers.

Scrutineer applications are being received for the following voting opportunities: • • •

We enjoyed it in our summer home and eventually the children discovered that the cushions made great building blocks and slides down the stairs. During hard times most were sold, but the aluminium frames remained.

Late in 2018 I got a phone call from a certain Allan Collier from Victoria who said that he had seen my ROM chair in a Vancouver Sun copy of summer 1969 and whether I still had samples. I said yes and could he come and see them, he was putting together an exhibit for the VAG. He came and invited me to participate with a chair and the table.

The resurrection began with help from Christian and Dave of BowenIslandUpholstery. Tara Fraser of the VAG gave the final finish. Now, 51 years later, the “Vancouver Chair and Table” gleam as if they were born yesterday.

“Modern in the Making” is one of the most effective and visitor friendly exhibits I have ever seen and reflects the postwar ingenuity that blossomed in B.C.

Wednesday, September 2, 2020 ADVANCED VOTING 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM Saturday, September 12, 2020 GENERAL VOTING DAY 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM Saturday, September 12, 2020 BALLOT COUNT & RESULTS (approx. 4 hours between 8:00 PM and Midnight)

An equal number of scrutineers “in favour” and “opposed to” the question will be appointed for each of these opportunities (up to a maximum of 3 scrutineers for each side of the question). If more applications are received than positions available, the Chief or Deputy Chief Election Officer will determine the appointments “by lot” as outlined in the Local Government Act. One scrutineer for and one scrutineer against the question will be appointed for each voting opportunity, as well as the ballot count and determination of the results. Please note that the application is also a solemn declaration attesting to the applicant’s elector eligibility and whether they are “in favour” or “opposed to” to the question. The signature of the applicant must be witnessed, in person, by the Chief or Deputy Chief Election Officer.

A copy of the application is available on the Municipal website or by contacting Municipal Hall during regular business hours 8:30 AM- 4:30 PM Monday to Friday.

We have a problem. As you know, your generous support and donations have made us a successful part of Bowen’s social network. However, due to constraints of our virus, we have run into some problems: The charities that accept our surplus stuff are no longer accepting things. We are open fewer hours, so fewer customers and lower sales. We have fewer volunteers to sort and work in the store. The result is that we cannot handle the volume of donations at this time.

So we are asking that you bring no more than one container of donations at a time. And to ensure that what you bring is saleable here on Bowen. We hope to return to our normal situation in the future but ask you to help us at this time.

Thank you for your understanding and for your donations.

How Jazzercise came to Bowen (by way of Dubai and Saudi Arabia) It took one class to get Susanne Herrington hooked on Jazzercise. Now, she’s celebrating twenty-five years of instructing the workout style that draws on dance, Pilates, yoga, kickboxing and strength training.

From her introduction in Dubai to teaching in Saudi Arabia, to bringing Jazzercise to Bowen when she moved here three years ago, Herrington’s carried her love of the dance fitness format with her across continents.

Judi Sheppard Missett created ‘the original dance party workout’ in 1969 and the fitness format rose to immense popularity in the 1980s and was central in the women’s fitness revolution. (Jazzercise was the second-fastest growing business franchise in the U.S. in the mid-80s after Domino’s according to an Atlantic article commemorating the format’s 50th anniversary.)

Herrington (left) with the instructor who introduced her to Jazzercise 25 years ago.

While Jazzercise invites images of ’80s workout fashion (legwarmers, leotards) Herrington offers assurance that the franchise has evolved. Herrington’s current set includes music from Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Pitbull, Amy Winehouse and other contemporary artists.

There are many formats in Jazzercise and they’ve evolved over the years says Herrington. She teaches two of them. Unlike some other workout programs, Herrington doesn’t do any of the choreography. The company sends out the routines five times a year, which then Herrington learns and then from that puts her sets together however she wishes.

“The choreography is tested by exercise physiologists to ensure its safety for participants,” says Herrington. “I have guidelines to follow for each class, as well as continuing training and standards to meet to keep my certification current.”

“If you go to a class anywhere in the world…it will be familiar.”

Herrington started Jazzercise when she was teaching school in Dubai and an instructor was holding classes for teachers.

“I really wasn’t into fitness at all,” explains Herrington. “[I] don’t like to go to gyms and work out. [I’m] not a runner.

“I went and was hooked.”

About six months into her Jazzercise experience, Herrington’s instructor convinced her to become an instructor herself.

“She talked me into it and coached me and helped me get ready for our workshop,” says Herrington.

When going through the hiring process in Saudi Arabia, Herrington asked after the recreation facilities to see if she could continue to teach there. While in Saudi, she also led gentle classes for women undergoing chemotherapy. Here on Bowen, Herrington’s

done women’s retreats at Camp Bow-Isle, seniors’ classes as well as her regular Bowen Island Community Recreation classes. “It’s really been quite fantastic to have opportunities to reach people in different ways,” she says. Herrington remains friends with many of the people she taught over the past quarter century and with that first instructor so many years ago.

Over the decades, despite sometimes stress with her teaching career, Herrington’s refused to quit. “It always came down to the positives outweigh any negatives because I leave class just feeling completely different,” she says. “It’s hard to describe. It definitely is a passion.”

The classes are designed for any fitness level says Herrington. While she’ll be hopping and bouncing at the front of the class, she also gives instructions for low-impact options. She also tells people that if a move

doesn’t feel right, do what feels right for your body.

When it comes to strength training, Herrington offers different moves for those where a move may affect backs or knees.

Jazzercise is also (in pre-COVID times) ideally held in spaces without mirrors.

“Because it’s not how you how you look doing the move, it’s how you feel and executing it safely,” explains Herrington. In these COVID days, the class is on the BICS soccer field with physical distancing.

In celebration of Herrington’s 25 years of teaching, Bowen Island Community Recreation is offering a free class this Sunday at 9 a.m. in the BICS soccer field.

Herrington regularly teaches Jazzercise through BICR on Sundays 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.; Tuesdays 6:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. and a 45-minute strength class on Thursdays at 4 p.m. Fall registration will open on August 20.
