WHAT’S UP Blues Busters songs picked Judi bios Christy Former BC MLA, author and farmer up by other musicians Judi Tyabji-Wilson will speak about her Ron Campbell and Dennis Fox of the Blues Busters are just a little excited that a couple of their songs will be recorded by BC musicians. “Brave New World,” written by Ron will be recorded by Vancouver Band Timewalkers. “A Stroll Along the Shore,” by Dennis, will be recorded by Qualicum musician Butts Giraud. As well, the pair also sent out songs for use in TV and movies. Although it’s hard to get placed in that industry, if you do, it’s far more lucrative, says Ron. “We are on shortlists for three different movies right now. It’s very encouraging.” Ron and Dennis go way back. Dennis was part of the 1979 Vancouver recording trip to record The Powell River Son written by Ron and his father George. Today, Ron and Dennis along with Ted Durnin and Neko Peterson make up Blues Busters. “We’ve been together for ten years,” says Ron who plays the guitar, keyboard and harmonica. “It’s exciting to have our songs picked up by other musicians,” he added. Blues Busters play May 21 at 7:30 pm at the ARC Community Theatre.
new book, Christy Clark: Behind the Smile on June 20th at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Town Centre Hotel. Judi’s book looks into the public and private life of BC’s first elected female premier. Christy was made deputy premier in 2001, premier in 2011 and reelected again in 2013. This look at Christy’s life written by Powell River’s political insider is based on meticulous research and interviews with over 30 public figures including the premier herself. Behind the Smile launches in Vancouver on June 2 and will be available locally at Coles.
Street art in Townsite
On the corner of Arbutus and Marine in Townsite is a fenced lot owned by Martin Sliwinski. By early May, three sides of the fencing will be covered in 4’ x 8’ sheets of Coroplast, kindly donated by Rona Powell River and Agius Builders. The sheets will then be spray painted by Matt Klassen with the faint black outline of a 12-image series that local artist, Lee Mackenzie, has donated to the project.

Millennium Park trails redux
The BOMB Squad has just finished about 3,000 hours of volunteer work transforming the trails in Powell River’s central urban forest. Millennium Park now boasts 42 signs for all trails and intersections. The Bloody Old Men’s Brigade installed 592 feet of new boardwalk to improve drainage and allow for better all-weather use. On May 28th the success of this phase of the Millennium Park project will be celebrated with a community event named “A Walk in the Park.” Come and bring your walking shoes. The most significant construction was the new 80-foot bridge across the upper section of McFall Creek, linking Kingfisher and McFall Creek trails to complete a true circle route up from Willingdon Beach (see photo, at right). The projects cost about $24,000 – a 2014 grant from the Powell River Community Forest. When applying, the BOMB Squad recognized how much effort was being put in to the acquisition of the lands, and hoped to improve the trails. This idea came to JP Brosseau, owner of the Old Courthouse, after the building he and his husband Kelly Belanger own was tagged once more, along with the building door and others around
