Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - A sense of momentum is building—quite literally—in Manson's Landing, where work is underway on a new pavilion designed to bring community members together for music, events, and gatherings. This is the latest in a series of structures erected in the Village Commons. The pavilion's frame was raised on Friday, April 11, 2025 “ We hope to have all the details done by the end of May. It'll be in service this summer,” explained Richard Andrews, Project Manager of the Village Commons. He and his three crew members had just finished erected the rear frame, or bent, and were breaking for lunch. There was one more bent to go. “ You see these two forward footings. They will be taking yet another set of another pair of posts and braces and one more large beam. That's the big, long black package lying right there. It's about 39 feet long. They are are big glulam beams and the frame was made by Island Timber Frame out of Cumberland.” “T here will be a stage built about 12 feet deep and 16 to 18 feet wide. Not a very high stage, but 8 inches up.  Behind it will be a wall so that we don't disturb the neighbors with noise.”   “On the sides there'll be a pony wall, and above the pony wall on both sides. It'll be clear polycarbonate probably. That'll provide a wind barrier, so people who are using the stage won't have to deal with wind on their mics.”  “There'll also be a big clear panel on barn tracks, that'll go forward to stop windblown rain” Cortes Currents:  What are they going to do with the audience area? Richard Andrews: “I'm not too sure yet. We'll probably spread out the soil and throw some grass seed down on it. There's no plan to do any kind of surface under the covered area. We don't have the budget, just getting this up is going to eat up the rest of our funding.” Cortes Currents: Did you want to mention anything else that's happening around here? Richard Andrews:   “We have the Nook, which is the shared office space and shared meeting space. The Cortes Housing Society is making good use of it today, and they're the main people who've been using it so far.” A block to the west of us, preparations for construction were taking place on the Cortes Housing Society's premiere project. A four acre block had been carved out of the forest for the Rainbow Ridge Affordable Housing Project. Construction on the first building will soon commence. As we spoke, two carpenters were erecting a wooden fence on the project's border with the Cortes Island Senior's Village. There was undoubtedly some mention of this in the meeting that was underway in the Nook. Cortes Currents: What's happening to the Village Common's old shared meeting place, the Pod? Richard Andrews: “T he little trailer, that's going to be repossessed by CCEDA and used as an information booth somewhere. I'm not sure what their plan is with it. What the Pod has been offering, the Nook will be offering more of the same, just bigger space.” He pointed to some long containers, close to the stage. “We have four C cans here and the two to the north of the site, closer to Manson's Hall are going to be used by the food bank. Their intention is to use them for food storage in Mansons because their facility attached to the radio station is too small for the amount of food that they're distributing. We don't have a plan for the middle one, yet. The other one that's furthest to the south will be used as the storage can for anything related to the pavilion. So for the lights, sound system, chairs, audio and what have you.” Cortes Currents left before the final bent was put up for the pavilion, but they sent pictures later that day. The new stage this summer will undoubtedly be well used this summer.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI) has been helping maintain Mansons Landing Provincial Park since 2016. They've been putting up railings to prevent further erosion of banks, putting up interpretive signage and maintain the trails. FOCI also holds a Broom Bash every year. 15 volunteers and staff showed up to remove this invasive species on Saturday, March 21, 2025. Cortes Currents asked Helen Hall, FOCI's executive director, “Is this a good turnout?” Helen Hall: “We've got a lovely turnout of people this morning, all ages and we're anticipating more people will turn out throughout the morning. We've also got BC Parks rangers coming out to help us as well, which is great news.” “ The reason we started clearing broom on the Spit originally was because of the coastal sand ecosystem. This grassy looking habitat doesn't look like very much, but it's actually an ecosystem that's quite rare up and down the coast. When we started, about six years ago, it was covered in broom and it was getting shaded out. So we decided to remove broom from there. Then we realized it was also all over the Spit. So partly to stop it growing back onto the beach, we decided to clear it on the Spit. Then we realized that the broom was out competing native shrubs like huckleberry.” “We've now been doing this for six years and we are begining to see a difference. The coastal sand ecosystem is starting to thrive and we've noticed a lot more native shrubs coming in. It's a good news story, but we have to keep on it because broom just keeps growing back. So it's great to have volunteers coming out today to help do this.”

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - A four acre clearing was carved out of the forest in downtown Mansons Landing to make way for the Rainbow Ridge Affordable Housing Development. A crew was busy piling the last of the logs when Cortes Currents arrived on site, and the ground was covered with branches, wood debris and stumps. Construction on the first building is expected to start in a month, which means a lot of wood is going to have to disappear. What is the Cortes Housing Society going to do with it?  Mark Lombard answered on behalf of the Cortes Housing Society:  “That's a great question.”  “We have two loads of saw logs going to the Klahoose Sawmill, and there are four loads of saw logs going to the Blue Jay Lake Sawmill. One of those loads is going to be for the use of the Housing Society for construction in the future. Over time, as we need lumber for various projects, we'll be able to pull them out of the inventory of logs that went to the Blue Jay Sawmill. There's also a load of saw logs going to a small mill in Mansons and another load of saw logs going to a small mill in Cortes Bay.”   “In terms of the firewood logs, any of the logs that were a little bit smaller than the local mills can use or a little bit lower grade, we have two loads of firewood going to Klahoose and then multiple groups of residents who are getting two or three neighbors together are buying the rest of the loads of firewood logs.” They started delivering logs across the island on Saturday and were expected to finish Monday, March 24.  Mark Lombard: “ The next step for the project is all the branches and tops. It's a bit of a challenge to decide what to do with them sometimes..”  “We've decided not to burn for a few reasons. One is the smoke, right in Mansons. Another is, there's a new requirement to have your piles piled for three months before they're burned, and that would put us right into fire season. So what we've decided is we're going to chip up the branches and tops too. That'll help keep the biomass on the site.” “Once we pull the stumps and level up the site, then we can spread the wood chips out so that it builds topsoil and slows down erosion. So we don't have a lot of exposed soil.” “The school is building a wetland this summer at the back of the school yard, and they are going to take about 125 stumps from the housing society projects. On the north end, directly behind the fire hall and where the first community building is going to be built, we are going to pile up those stumps so that they can be moved over to the school wetland project in July. Then the stumps further south on the project are going to be moved to the very south end of the clearing, where there was a little bit of a natural opening.” “Once the site is levelled out, we're going to start building the first community building, the laundromat and housing society office. We are hoping that in about a month from now we'll be starting construction on that building.”  “There are lots of small cedar logs that we're not making into firewood logs. So if people are looking for posts for garden fences or any kind of posts, we have lots available. We also have quite a few longer cedar poles that would make a really good barn pole or timber frame outdoor shed that will be for sale.” “We also have lots of pieces of curved fir and cedar. Some of them are longer, some of them are shorter, but can make some nice curved beams for things. We're also thinking that some of the really curved pieces of cedar, we'll Alaska mill them and make them into slabs. So if people want any cedar slabs, we're going to have some of those available.”  Cortes Currents: Any last thoughts? Mark Lombard: "We are fortunate to have a crew of professionals doing the work and everything has been done carefully and in the most tidy way possible.”

Hvid hud, hår så sort som kul og læber så røde som blod. Marilyn Manson kan stadig - på trods af hårde MeToo-anklager - trække stimer af danske fans til. Mansons offentlige persona er skabt på at overskride grænser - vi udfolder mennesket, anklagerne og de etiske dilemmaer ved at være fan af mand, som måske også er monster. Popkulturen er besat af mad. Film, litteratur og sociale medier bugner af piskede smørtårne og hundedyre fastelavnsboller, pittoreske salater og enestående oste. I denne uges Popsmart åbner Chris Pedersen køleskabet, for at se hvad denne besættelse af mad fortæller om os lige nu. Vært: Casper Dyrholm.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - Close to 50 people turned up at Mansons Hall on January 24, for an update on the construction coming or already underway in the downtown Mansons area. The Cortes Housing Society, Southern Cortes Community Association (SCCA), Cortes Island Community Foundation and Cortes Island Pickleball Society were on hand to describe what's taking place at Rainbow Ridge, the multipurpose courts and the Village Commons.   Regional Director Mark Vonesch exclaimed, “The big news here on Cortes is that the Housing Society is going to start building houses this year.” Sandra Wood, who's been at the heart of the Rainbow Ridge affordable housing project from the beginning, added, “It's exciting to finally get shovels in the ground. We feel like we've been shovel ready for years.”   Manda Aufochs Gillespie, from the Cortes Island Foundation, described another focus of the meeting “More and more, it's clear that the Village Commons is really this whole area and all the things that we gather in the heart of Mansons to do.” She mentioned the shared office and workspace which was close to completion beside FOCI, the CKTZ radio station and the little green with a picnic table. “The space is opened up so that you can get into that area where the pavilion is basically breaking ground as we speak. So by the summer, the pavilion will be up, wired into the radio station, and set up for performances. We also have put in these storage spaces. We have signed a lease for two of them with the Cortes Island Food Bank, as a drop off and distribution center, but also just to expand their capacity. The other two we're hoping will be for non-profit and the public because, as we all know, somehow on this island there is never enough space.”  “This whole space has largely been possible because the SCCA was like, ‘yes, let's think about parking as a community effort downtown.' Which I've really appreciated because before it looked like we would have to use a whole huge chunk of that rather small space for parking. There has been the creation of a set of new parking spaces, which is going to be  signed, I think, by this summer.” Cora Moret, from the SCCA, continued,  “I love the idea that this is all the Village Commons and that all these nonprofits are looking for the same thing, which is the Cortes community. So why would each place have a separate parking lot? It's all within a few dozen metres of each other.”  “There is a sign  as you come up past this parking lot, directly to the west of the parking lot between the skate park and the fire hall.  It just looks like  a cleared gravel area, and we'll work on that. What we'd like to see is an area that is central , that  could host some EV charging stations. That hopefully is coming in the near future. BC Hydro wants to pay for these but they have  certain parameters around them. So we're working on that too.” “We're going to be bringing in more grant projects for  the area between the skate park and the parking lot. We are very open to input. We're happy to hear what you think of what we're doing, what you think we should do or could do.” The main interview was with Sadhu Johnston from the Cortes Island Housing Society.

In the summer of 1968, the Beach Boys' drummer Dennis Wilson invited a hippie guru and his grungy harem to squat in his Pacific Palisades home. Dennis was the handsome California surfer that his brother Brian wrote all those hit songs about, while the hippie cult would soon be infamous the world over as the Manson Family. What happened when the Wilsons met the Mansons would forever change Dennis, the band, and American history itself. For a full list of contributors, see the show notes at disgracelandpod.com.

Jennifer Pickrod: “We get an immense turnout actually because people seem to be really excited to come out and support their local vendors at this event. And so it's always nice also for them to come and see how the hall is all decorated in Christmas lights and twinkling and it just seems like a festive, wonderful event for the whole community to enjoy.” Cortes Currents: What does this represent for the vendors? Jennifer Pickrod: “This represents really an opportunity for the vendors to showcase what they've been working on through the whole year. Many of our vendors only participate in the holiday fair because they have been having a great success at this event, and they see it as an opportunity to focus on something, a project throughout the year, wherein they will work on their crafts and have an opportunity to really showcase them at this very popular event.” Cortes Currents: Tell me about your vendors. Jennifer Pickford: Brig Weiler is our long standing jewelry and crafts and card vendor. Joy Shipway is going to be having some special holiday treats. Irene Bleweth will be showcasing her silver jewelry. We also have Dancing Wolf coming. He's going to be bringing some interesting goods.

There will also be some lovely harp playing by Laurel Bohart and we will have some Christmas tunes. It'll just have a general feeling of festivity for everyone to enjoy.”

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - The Nature Trust of British Columbia wants to purchase 35.7 acres in the Mansons Bay Forest for a land conservancy. They have already raised about half of the necessary funding and have until December 31 to rise the remaining $408,000.  “One of the landowners has come forward, and they're interested in selling the land for conservation. They've never developed the land, and they'd like to see it stay in the intact condition that it is right now. We are working with them to purchase the land so that we can prevent the conversion of habitat to residential use and maintain the habitat values for the species at risk that live on Cortes Island,” explained Dr Jasper Lament, CEO of the Nature Trust of Canada. “The Mansons Bay Forest lands are located near Mansons Bay and quite close to Mansons Landing Provincial Park. It has some forest on it that's over a century old and then scattered veteran trees that are over 200 years old. There's habitat for species at risk including Barn Swallows, Band-tailed Pigeons, and Common Nighthawks.” The associated press kit also mentions “Evening Grosbeaks, Purple Martins, Olive-sided Flycatchers, and Northern Red-legged Frogs, all of which are of SARA Special Concern.” “Marbled Murrelets are one example of a species-at-risk that has been observed in the ocean waters surrounding Cortes Island. These small seabirds can travel over a hundred kilometres a day between their inland nest sites located in large areas of old forest and marine foraging areas, where they hunt for small fish to feed their chicks. Murrelets are unusual among seabirds because of their solitary and secretive nesting requirements. They avoid predators by flying silently at high speeds (greater than 80 km/h) during dark twilight to visit their secluded forest nests.”   Jasper Lament: “These are just examples of over a dozen at risk species that have been observed within one kilometer of this important forested parcel.” Cortes Currents: What about animal species? I would imagine you have wolves going through there at least. Jasper Lament: "We don't have wildlife cameras up on this particular parcel but if we did, we might detect wolves, black tailed deer, cougar, mink, etc. There's definitely the potential for those species."
    Cortes Currents: Tell me about  your organization.   Jasper Lament: "The Nature Trust of British Columbia is a land conservation organization that was founded back in 1971, and since then the Nature Trust of BC has conserved over 180,000 acres of land across British Columbia." "Cortes Island is one of the landscapes where the Nature Trust has worked. The first project  was back in the early 1980s, when the Nature Trust acquired Hague Lake Island."

CKTZ/Cortes Currents - Two live theatre productions are coming to Mansons Hall this weekend Cortes Radio sent over five audio tracks.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - In 2020, the Strathcona Regional Regional District SRD entered into a core funding agreement with the Southern Cortes Community Association  (SCCA) and Whaletown Community Club to support Mansons and Gorge Halls. Up to $80,000 a year could be used from Cortes Island's property taxes. This agreement is due to expire on March 31, 2025. Staff is proposing that the new agreement include a new paragraph stating “The Regional District may contribute funds for capital expenditures at its sole discretion.” This would, for example, allow the SRD to use Gas Tax funding to finance renovations or purchase new equipment. This is a grant and would not cost Cortes Island taxpayers any money. In all other respects, the terms and conditions of the original agreement would carry on into the next. At the Wednesday October 30, 2024 SRD Boad meeting, Regional Director Mark Vonesh of Cortes Island moved The new contract will include the phrase allowing the SRD to use additional sources of funding for capital expences.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Close to 60 Cortes Island residents turned out for the Zoning Bylaw Review Meeting in Manson's Hall on Thursday, September 12th. The following article consists of audio clips of the main speakers, taken at the meeting, and an interview with Regional Director Mark Vonesch the following morning.   Mark Vonesch: "Leading up to it, I think there was a little bit of tension in the air. ‘What's going to happen?' ‘How are we going to change our zoning in a way that's good for Cortes and  protecting what we have here, but also making room for more housing  and addressing the housing challenges that we face?'”   “I think the key takeaway is this is a process that we're still in the middle of. There's still lots of opportunity for input. We've had four meetings leading up to this. Last night's meeting was about presenting the summary of the findings from the previous meetings, and giving us a sense of what the Zoning Bylaw draft is going to look like.” “The biggest shift, based on the input from the community, is that people are looking to increase density on rural residential lots."  Annie Girdler, a planner with the Strathcona Regional District (SRD), explained, "We've also added the potential for an additional dwelling unit on lots greater than one hectare. Previously a residential property was permitted a single dwelling and one secondary suite or an additional dwelling unit.  The proposed change is that this property would now be allowed to have a secondary suite AND an additional dwelling unit." Another proposal is to increase in the maximum size of additional dwellings from about 650 to about 840 square feet. Meredith Starkey, Manager of Planning and Parks for the SRD, stated, "The secondary units were previously called ‘Granny Flats' in some places because it's intended for your parents, in-laws or a renter or a couple etc, but our world is changing. There may be more families who want to live in a secondary dwelling. So, that's certainly a possibility."      Annie Girdler: "We've also added a new provision on clustered housing and how to accomplish that. We've also removed regulations that are not in the SRD's jurisdiction to enforce. Lastly, we've consolidated or removed zones that were either not in use or they were duplicate zones." "The current Zoning Bylaw is from 2002,  and as a legislated document, there's several requirements under the Local Government Act that a Zoning Bylaw has to meet.  Many of those requirements are new since 2002. So a review is necessary to ensure that our bylaw meets provincial requirements and is legal." "The goal is to bring the Zoning Bylaw into better alignment with your Official Community Plan (OCP). We'll also be removing or correcting outdated regulations, updating some of the terms with new language that's consistent, and also addressing some of the modern challenges, which we've heard a lot about." ”Our goal for this phase of the project is to hear your feedback as a community. It'll give us a chance to either confirm that the provisions look how they should, or revise as necessary if we were way off. This revision process will be ongoing, and then we'll move on to the regular bylaw referrals process which will involve consultation with other government agencies, other levels of government, and First Nations.  Once that phase is  complete, we can move on to the bylaw adoption process. At that time we will have a formal public hearing and that will be the last opportunity to provide public input on a draft bylaw."

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI) has a new President, is getting prepared to launch out in new directions and is also trying to raise $30,000 by the end of the month. The first two of those announcements may be interrelated, the third definitely is not. It is a result of two large contracts coming to an end, more on that later. First, Mike Moore has been one of FOCI's members for decades and is now taking on a more active leadership role. Mike Moore: “I hadn't really been that involved in FOCI before, except that FOCI and the Watershed Sentinel were at one time very closely aligned, and I've been a proofreading editor for Watershed Sentinel for quite a few years. I joined the FOCI board in December 2021, so I'm coming up now to three years. I joined because I was getting out of the Misty Isles and having more time to pursue naturalist activities. I was really excited about all the projects that FOCI does in the forest, on the ocean, and on the beaches. It's a pretty cool thing that they're doing.” Cortes Currents: Now you're the president of the board. Mike More: “I'm the new president.” “It's not a big upset or anything like that. Our AGM was in December. At our board meeting in January, when we elected positions, the board said that because we were just embarking on a process with Andrea Fisher (of board development, education, and defining the structure of FOCI), we would keep that course under Max Thaysen until it was finished. We finished that process in early summer and are still working on the final touches, but Max was happy to step back and I was happy to step forward. Nobody has left the board. Everybody is really happy and energized with how things are going.” Cortes Currents: Have there been any changes in direction? Mike Moore: “This is an excellent question and that's just something that we're coming to grips with.” “FOCI has done a really great job in monitoring the local environment, in enhancing the local environment, and in educating people about our local ecosystems. We work with parks, both at the regional and provincial level , to maintain Mansons lagoon and the regional parks all over the island. We've got the longest continuous data set for foreshore monitoring. We've embarked on some wonderful projects like the Dillon Creek Wetlands Project and the Western Screech Owl Project.” “We have all this stuff going, but it feels like it's all pretty local and the world is changing. There's this feeling that we want to have a bigger voice, a bigger input. We're just coming to grips with that. That's what this five hour meeting was this weekend. We're pretty excited about where we can go. We are just in that revisioning process and we can't actually make those decisions ourselves as a board. We want to involve our Executive Director, Helen Hall. She's away at the moment and she'll be back mid month, but we've done some preliminary work on that. We're really excited about where we can go and stay relevant and vibrant as an organization.”

Today is the day Ashley and Liz take the deep dive. You know us, we're usually Sparknotes gals… but in order to paint the entire Satanic Panic picture we have to take you back to where it all began…so we did the research! What exactly started our parent's obsession with the occult, ultimately resulting in them banning us from reading Harry Potter? Was it Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and the Zodiac Killer? Or could it have been razor blades in Halloween candy, ouija boards and the Tylenol murders? What we discovered is that it was all of the above with a twist of Satanic Rituals, modern day witch trials, and fundamentalist Christian churches pushing their agendas. The extra fun part? We found out we were living in the EPICENTER of satanic panic in the 80's: Kern County, California!!We even get into the most banned books of the 90's and early 2000's, and why they were requested to be banned. But don't worry, it's not all fire and brimstone. We've got a faves and fails involving a bright red Dodge Charger and the new Twisters movie! And a smash or pass with a charismatic villain and some Targaryens.Don't be shy, subscribe!

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - Once or twice a year, visitors are given an opportunity to ‘gumboot' into the natural and human history of Mansons Lagoon. This is a joint event put on by the Cortes Island Museum and Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI). Jane Newman provides the glimpse into the lagoon's past. In the following article, Cortes Currents supplemented her account with materials from the Museum and additional genealogical records found on the web. Jane's account started with a description of Mansons Spit during the precolonial era.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The audio version of this story starts with Michael Keith's impromptu response to a car horn sounding off during his Friday, July 12, performance in the Village Commons Music Series.   “I don't want to live in this crazy place,  all the horns are beeping all over the place.  Every time I try to play, I can't - I hear another horn,  it's probably someone shopping for corn.”  There have been a lot of changes in what Manda Aufochs Gillespie calls the heart of ‘Mansons Landing.' The big tent where Michael played has been moved  beside the Mansons Hall parking lot for the summer. Cortes Currents did not check to see if  Reef Point Farm is already selling corn at the Friday Market, but Sara Stewart was there. Her stall was involved in the realignment which now connects the Market with the Village Commons. Manda Aufochs Gillespie: "The Cortes Island Community Foundation is really excited to be partnered with our neighbors in particular, the Southern Cortes Community Association (SCCA) and Manson's Hall  to rethink the Village Commons and heart of Manson's in a way that would be more from the neighbourhood user experience."

"One of the first things we realized, when we started looking at this piece of land that we're calling the Village Commons, is how separated the land right beyond the radio station and FOCI was. As if to say, ‘Who cares about that?'"

"What we want is to have interactive places where we can come together as a community, and flow between. The grants that came with the Village Commons, when CCEDA passed that land to the community foundation, provided an opportunity to do some revisioning taking onto account that has happened in the past with CCEDA and the deliverables that we have to do."

“One of the things that came up again and again, when we were talking to the community, was that  people wanted to feel like there was less division between spaces. They wanted  to park their car, leave it for some period of time and walk between things."

"As you can see now,  the parking lot here at Manson's hall is starting to feel a little bit more organized. It's a little less overfull.  Now there's an overflow parking that's tucked in near the skate park and the museum that is publicly accessible with  a short trail that goes right to the Friday Market, Manson's Hall and the Village Common space."

Roy L Hales. Cortes Currents - Moorage for recreational boats is even more limited on Cortes Island this year and vessels intending to stay more than 3 nights must make prior arrangements with the Harbour Authority Cortes Island. In addition, Small Craft Harbours regulations for using winches have changed. The manual winches at Mansons Landing and Whaletown have been decommissioned. The winch at the Squirrel Cove dock is available for commercial users who make prior arrangements through the Harbour Authority. The general public is no longer allowed access except through certified staff provided by the Harbour Authority.     “Over the last few years, we have seen a drastic increase in the number of requests for moorage spaces.  We are Small Craft Harbors owned facilities and so we are mandated to provide priority mortgage to commercial fishing vessels, aquaculture and then other commercial vessels. If there is space available after those priority needs have been met, we offer it to the community,” explained Harbourmaster Jenny Hartwick. “There's more and more applicants for the limited  number of spaces that we have available for recreational moorage at every one of the docs. And so we just want to remind users that if you are looking for  anything over 3 nights mortgage at 1 of our docs, you must apply in advance and you must have a signed and approved moorage agreement in place.” “Several of the docks on Cortez are now full for the summer season. We are no longer taking mortgage requests for the Whaletown Dock or the Cortes Bay Dock. We do have some long term recreational spots available still at Mansons and at Squirrel Cove, but again, as the season progresses, those spaces do fill up. So please reach out to the Harbour Authority and ensure the documentation is in place prior to bringing your vessel to the dock.”  “Small Craft Harbours recently changed their requirements for winch usage.” “We have removed the manual derricks at the Mansons and Whaletown docks. At this point in time, those winches have been decommissioned. They are owned by Small Craft Harbours. We're waiting to hear what their plan is for those pieces of infrastructure.” “In order to access the winches or the derricks on the Squirrel Cove dock, you now need to be a commercial user and provide proof of WCB coverage  as well as sign a winch user agreement with the Harbour Authority. The winch is no longer available for drop-in public use without first contacting the Harbor Authority. We can still arrange that we do have certified trained staff who will come down and have to be on site if the winch is being operated by a non-commercial user. Please reach out to the Harbour Authority. We can facilitate that.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI) has been helping BC Parks maintain Mansons Landing Provincial Park since 2016.  
“ We've been doing various improvements over time. That included removing broom from the Spit, signage to help interpret what's down there and also fencing to prevent erosion. We've just finished two new sections of fencing,” explained Helen Hall, Executive Director of FOCI. 
"One is at the end of the Spit to stop further erosion. The banks are very fragile and the existing fencing wasn't enough to stop people climbing down the banks. There has been a long history of First Nations usage of what is now the park, and my understanding is that a large part of the Spit is actually midden. It has archaeological interest. You can see all  the shells  in the sand on the banks very clearly when you walk along the beach. We want to keep the Spit intact. I'd say a significant portion of the erosion is caused by people climbing down onto the banks." 
"The other piece was some fencing next to the parking lot. That's been put in largely to try and protect what's called coastal sand ecosystem.  If you go onto the beach, you'll notice this grassy looking plant community, which is actually quite rare in BC and it's also very fragile. The plant you see all year round, which looks very grassy, is called Dune Wild Rye. There's also Beech Pea,  Silver Burr Weed, and Gumweed. We're just hoping that people  stay out of that area and stick to the trails." 
"Around 2017 or 2018, we put up a sign explaining about the coastal sand ecosystems. In the summer BC Parks will be putting up a little bit more signage about the plants , to try and encourage people to stay out of those areas." 
"We've been working with BC parks to protect that area now for six years." 
"When we started in 2016, it was heavily shaded by Scotch Broom. Our very first task was to remove the Broom, and we go back every winter.  We've got one coming up now in March. We do a Broom Bash with the community to cut back any regrowth.” "I should just add all of the work we're doing there is funded by a grant we get from BC Parks."

Krimiland fortsætter udforskningen af de paranoide måneder op til Manson-kultens endelige konfrontation med myndighederne i efteråret 1969. I et forsøg på at undslippe sine forfølgelsesfantasier, isolerer Manson sig selv og sine følgere på en primitiv ranch i Death Valley, hvor de lever under et rædselsregime af gloende hede, hårdt arbejde og Mansons stadigt mere bizarre mytologier og principper. Han tager strengere og mere brutal kontrol over sine følgere, presser dem og undertvinger dem et liv i frygt og udpining. Men i historien er der flere eksempler på, at medlemmerne af kulten ikke kunne leve op til kravene om lydighed og underkastelse. Vi ser nærmere på nogle af dem, som i flere tilfælde havde ekstreme og brutale konsekvenser. Gæst: Peter Byberg Klip og lyd: Mads LindSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Cortes Community Housing Society and Regional Director Mark Vonesch will be teaming up to hold a Housing Forum at Mansons Hall from 10 AM to 12:30 on December 2.  
"Cortes is a very innovative community. We have an incredible 'can do' resilient spirit on this island and have done amazing things. I do think that Cortes could be a real leader for the province, and the country, around rural housing solutions. With the resources and the ingenuity, the land, the partnerships, I think we can do some amazing things here on Cortes," explained Sadhu Johnston, Executive Director of the Cortes Community Housing Society.  
"Even buying Rainbow Ridge: 50 acres and having it owned by the community in our central population hub on the island is a really significant step forward. Now we want to put more housing there and we want to create opportunities for  community members to build housing elsewhere on the island."  
"We can solve this, and I think we need to do it quickly because  many more people are discovering Cortes and are moving here.  We need to work as a community quickly to ensure that the people that are here that are inadequately housed, that we find solutions to support them to stay here, or the very fabric of our community  is at risk."

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Cortes Island Food Bank needs more funding to meet a dramatic increase in the number of people it is serving. They had 5 clients at the end of October 2022. This October there were 70. Food Bank Treasurer Filipe Figueira said the need for food banks has been increaseing throughout Canada. He estimates the Cortes Island Food Bank will need $25,000 to meet the need. “One of my worries is that we're publicizing that we're serving so many clients and some clients are actually very reluctant to use the food bank. It's taken a while to convince people that we have enough food. The common comment I get, particularly from some seniors, ‘is I don't want to be taking this food from other people, and I'm not literally starving.' We always say that you don't have to be literally starving. From our perspective, nobody should be going hungry for one or two days,” he explained. “I want to reassure all those people out there that we really do have the resources to help that many people.” According to Food Banks Canada, “In March 2023, there were over 1.9 million visits to food banks in Canada, far surpassing last year's usage, which set a record at the time.” There was a 32% increase in one year. Filipe Figuera: “it's actually nearly an 80% increase since March 2019. This is across the country. When you get to Cortes, you can multiply all those economic stressors by three or four because we have clients who have been suffering for years with precarious employment, precarious housing, and higher food costs than mainland food costs.” He said the Food Bank used to serve about 5 clients a month. “When we started really promoting the food bank in August, it jumped up to 12. In September, it jumped up to 39 and then in October, it jumped up to 70. Part of that huge jump for the 70 was that we're working with Better at Home. We have a really good alliance with them. They're helping and introducing the food back to some of those seniors, which has been fantastic. We hope to do more projects with them in the future.” Cortes Currents: So you've gone from 5 to 70? Filipe Figuera: ‘Yes, it's remarkable, but I'm not super surprised by it. We always knew that if we started scratching the surface, we'd get an idea of the real need on the island. I think the need that we've typically been serving over the last few years is an undercount.” “When we compare it to Quadra Island, I think they're serving 30 to 40 a month and they've got a very established food bank with better resources than us and have had for a few years.” “Now that we're actually up and running as a more effective food bank, I think those are the numbers we're going to be hitting - 30 to 40. It's seasonal because in the winter months, people are suffering more. They have energy bills. They don't have employment, but it's not as though we're unusual. We're just reflecting what's happening in the rest of the country.” The Cortes Food Bank used to offer food pick-up once a month. Now it is every week, alternating between Mansons and Gorge Halls. Filipe Figuera: “We're doing a fundraiser right now, which is going very, very well. People can donate to that by going to our website, which is cortesfoodbank.ca.There's a link there to a portal run by Foodbanks BC. People can donate and then they'll get a tax receipt immediately.” “We appreciate any donation. Actually, I feel bad that we're asking the community to support this because we understand that the vast majority of the community is also feeling the pinch financially. So their generosity, even if it's $20, is super welcome.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Close to 40 residents turned out to the first two Tourism Cafes on Cortes Island. The Cortes Community Economic Development Association (CCEDA) brought in Lesley Anderson and Nancy Arsenault to facilitate meetings at Mansons and Gorge Halls last week. The pair will host a virtual Tourism Cafe on Wednesday, November 1st from 10 am to 12 pm, and return in January to present their findings. “ People came out of the meeting feeling a lot more informed about this planning process and how it can be a force for better tourism outcomes on the island in the future. A process like this can be really useful and it doesn't have to result in greater tourism. It's how we can nuance that tourism and make it better for the island and just attract the right visitors,” explained Kate Madigan, Economic Development Officer of CCEDA. “We had quite a range of feedback. A lot of people are kind of like, ‘ Why are we doing this? We've got enough tourism on Cortes, we don't need any more' – And that's true.” “Lesley and Nancy of Tourism Cafe explained we don't want tourism to happen haphazardly. We want to be able to plan it and manage it in a way that is good for the community. If you don't get involved in how tourism is evolving on your island, it might evolve in a way that is not good for the community. This is why we're doing this exercise.” “There's a lot of tourists out there. We don't want to be everything to everybody. We want to attract the kind of tourists that respect our island way of life, that respect how we want tourism to evolve. We did spend a lot of time discussing that.”

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - After more than a decade of service, the Oyster Bay schoolhouse was barged over to Whaletown in 1950. There it opened its doors to the children of a new community. 
Brigid Weiler started attending the Whaletown School in 1959.  
Her earliest memories are in that area. 
“My dad Ottie Weiler was the postmaster in Whaletown for many, many years.  My mom, Mary Weiler, was from New Westminster. My dad was from Victoria. They were essentially urban visionaries, if you will.”  
“They met during the war. My mom was a nurse, and  nursed through the London Blitz. My dad was an officer. When the officers would come up to London, they'd hire a hall, and requisition  a busload of nurses to come down and dance with them. That's how my mom and dad met. They were married there. Things happened after that, and then they finally got to come home and be together. They chartered a boat, and  came up the coast looking for a place where they could live a happy, romantic, bohemian life.” 
“They didn't know anything about living in the wilderness at all. They saw the house half built on Whaletown Bay and bought it. It's still there. It's a blue house, you see it when you go out on the ferry.  Five acres of waterfront for $1,500. They were so happy. They had just a wonderful romantic, bohemian life and four daughters.”  
Thanks to Mary Weiler, the schoolhouse was a community arts centre more than 50 years before its rebirth as the Old Schoolhouse Art Gallery. BW: “My mother taught art classes here, from the late 40s until she left. There's a photo there of her students squished into the little kid's desk. This is Mr. McDevitt, who was our teacher and his wife Lottie, Bernard Woodward, Edie Huck, with all the easels. She did that for many, many years, so it was always an art teaching place.” Mary Weiler painted one of the pieces currently hanging in the gallery after she moved here in 1947. BW: “This is an early piece of hers, after that she was a watercolorist.She was an art teacher and an artist. She also taught first aid classes here.” “The community club used the building in those days as well. They had the Santa Claus parties here sometimes, and other things. When they opened the road to Mansons around 1960, there was a big party. There was actually quite a bit that went on in the field. It was the place where people would celebrate. We'd had community picnics.” 
Brigid was living just a short walk away when she started school.  
BW: “I came here from grade one to grade six.” 
“My teacher was Don McDevitt. He and his wife lived on the corner of Cemetery Road and he would catch the school bus over here every morning to go to school.” CC: Can I get you to name some of the students? 
BW: “David Robertson still lives here and he had several siblings who were also in attendance - Alan, Alice and Bernie - and then that family moved away. There was Jeannie, Cheryl, and Rick Matthews. The Matthews family still own property, and come here for holidays. There were the Riddell kids, Marilyn and Noreen and Louise. There were two Waring families and the Bergman kids, Gail, Lynn, and Phillip. I'm still in touch with one of that family, Lynn. They ran the Whaletown store for 30 odd years, so they were a very well known presence here in Cortes.  My best friends were in those families.” 
“We had an oil stove for heat at the very back of the building. We also had Vic the dog, who lay by the oil stove and steamed away and made the whole place smell like wet dog in the wintertime. There were gas lights, propane, which were almost never used.  On the very darkest mornings when it was blowing a heavy southeaster, pretty much pitch dark, Mr. McDevitt would climb up a tall step ladder and light the lights. Other than that, we didn't have that, just the windows. By nine o'clock you could see. it was probably pretty dark in here, but I came from a house with no electricity. We were used to it.”

I år blev en af de livstidsdømte fra Manson-familien prøveløsladt. I den anledning har vi dykket ned i den ufattelige historie om Charles Manson. I dette afsnit er fokus på Mansons opvækst. Fra børnehjem til opdragelsesanstalter, biltyverier, vold, voldtægter og fængselsdomme. Og det er alt sammen før, han er fyldt 21. Det er en brutal fortælling om omsorgssvigt, og måske en nøgle ind til at forstå mennesket bag monsteret.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Follow The Looking Glass on iHeartRadio - https://ihr.fm/3LG5QTZFollow on Apple Podcasts - https://apple.co/3B0WQE6Follow Everywhere Else - https://bit.ly/3M27WPsIn Episode 1, we noted a widely held view about the MacDonald murders: namely, that MacDonald's story is too implausible to be taken seriously. In Episode 2, we ask why. Why does Jeffrey MacDonald's account of the murders strike so many people as simply not believable?One answer is that these people have a background understanding of another set of murders that happened six months earlier: namely, the Manson murders. And that understanding is that the Manson murders were a singular, unrepeatable, one-of-a-kind occurrence –– not the kind of thing that happens twice in six months, three thousand miles apart.On this understanding of the Manson murders, the MacDonald murders become self-explanatory. Jeffrey MacDonald clearly killed his own family and then reached for the lowest hanging fruit in the garden of American popular culture: he tried to peddle the idea that the Mansons –– or people like them –– had murdered his family. Hence the talk of pigs, acid, and the word written in blood.The question for the historian, then, is obvious: how singular were the Manson murders? Were they, in reality, the product of one madman's dark vision, or did they emerge from countercultural currents that ran deeper than Charles Manson –– that had, indeed, brought Manson himself screaming to the surface of the popular American imagination?Follow on Social MediaInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/thelookingglass_podcast/Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/thelookingglasstruecrimepodcastTikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@thelookingglasstruecrimeYouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@thelookingglasstruecrimeThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Mansons Friday Market's ‘Outdoor Season' officially started on May 19. “I think it's great. It's a beautiful sunny day and long weekend and, but still mostly locals, which is really nice to have their support,” said Sara Stewart, of Reef Point Farms. CC: Can I ask, where do you do most of your business? “I have a lot of different venues. There's the farmer's market. I also have the farm stand. I sell to the co-op and to Hollyhock and the Gorge Store when it's in the middle of the summer,” she replied.  One of her customers, Judyth Weaver, interjected, “I go all the way down to this farm stand. Is it happening already?” “In a couple weeks,” said Stewart. “Okay. I was wondering, and I love it when she comes here. I've been buying her greens whenever she's had them at the Co-op, so I've been eating off of you for a long time.” CC:  How long have you been operating Reef Point Farms? “I have a business called Wildfire Produce, lease land there and started in 2020. So this is my fourth season,” explained Stewart. Rod Lee has been selling his cedar bird houses ever since he took up his perminant abode on Cortes Island, about 23 years ago.  “I'm an amateur and birdhouses struck me as being something I could make out of small pieces of lumber that were available from mills in the reject pile, where I could cut defects out and create a usable piece of wood. So birdhouses and the boxes are a variety of sizes. I just simply wait till I get a number of pieces of a similar size, make a box or a birdhouse out of them,” he explained. CC: Are there specific houses for specific birds? “There can be. For instance, I make a Swallow House because Swallows fly directly into the nesting area without using a perch. Whereas most of the other smaller birds, including Wrens, will use a perch before they climb into the nest box. Some of the ducks that use nests like Harlequin Wood Duck, have to be close to water. The young, when they come out just fall to the ground and then carry on. They use a different size box and often there's a bit of a ramp built into the box to give the ducklings access to the opening. So yeah, there's some differences.” CC: What do you use the boxes for? RL: “I made up a little piece of paper that said ‘you can use them for anything you want.' My wife told me my dresser top was messy, so I now have a wooden box with all my stuff in it. She's happy and I'm happy. I know where everything is, but people will use them for anything. I've had people buy them for sunglasses. I've had people buy them to use in display areas. I've had people buy them with lids as jewelry boxes, key boxes. Some workers have kept special screws, nuts or bolts in them.” CC: Where do you sell your boxes and birdhouses? RL: I've been a salesman all my working life, so it's a natural habit for me. I enjoy it and I enjoy meeting people. As a member of the Cortes Island Craft Shop, located in Squirrel Cove, I get to meet people from all over that are holiday or coming off their boats. It's always fun.” “I will sell here on the island at the Friday and Saturday markets, Mansons and the Gorge. I do have one off island company, Shar-kare in Campbell River who take my bird houses.” Loretta from Tenant Farm did not want to be recorded, but had no objection to my photographing her interaction with two customers examining a colorful hand spun toque. Most of the action is still indoors, where there were about 17 booths set up in the hall and entrance foyer. That is far too many people to interview.

De Clarke/ Cortes Currents - The Cortes Community Health Association held its annual AGM at 1pm on Sunday May 7th, in the main room at Mansons Hall. The meeting was lightly attended and no controversial topics were on the agenda. After opening the meeting, Board President Ed Safarik welcomed guest speaker Yasmina Cartland who made a brief presentation about “Compassionate Communities.” The rest of the meeting was devoted to the usual business of an AGM, concluding with selection of Board members for the coming year

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - As the weather turns warmer, some recreational vessels seek moorage at Cortes Island docks for periods of between one and six months. This is called long-term-moorage. On Wednesday, May 3, the Harbour Authority of Cortes Island (HACI) issued a press release stating that their docks in Whaletown and Cortes Bay are now full for long-term-moorage this summer. “When we're talking about long-term recreational moorage, we're just talking about individuals who are looking to moor a boat and not live on it,” explained Harbourmaster Jenny Hartwick “At this point in time, both the Squirrel Cove and Mansons docks still have some long-term recreational moorage placements available and those are available on a first come, first serve basis until they are full.” CC: So this does not apply to boats coming in for the afternoon, or a few days. “For a community user that wants to come in for the afternoon, from their boat-access-only property, or a commercial user who's using the dock for work on a regular basis, absolutely. We are only talking about recreational long-term moorage.” “We have had to do this because we have received such a huge request for individuals looking for one month, three month or six month long-term moorage for their recreational vessels. We've had to look at the actual physical capacity of our docks, and what they can handle.” “I'd also like to remind the community that rafting is a requirement on all of our docks.” “This means that vessels are already being rafted two deep and this policy was put in place to prevent what we saw as potential safety issues of vessels coming into our more popular docks and in some cases rafting four, even five vessels deep down the entire length of the dock.” “I think the first thing to reiterate is that the government docks on Cortes are all docks that are owned under the Small Craft Harbours program of the federal government. Under this program, the Harbour Authority of Cortes Island operates these docks through an arm's length lease agreement, but we are required to meet Small Craft Harbour's mandate as part of this lease agreement. Small Craft Harbour's primary mandate is to support the commercial fishing industry in BC and to support the infrastructure associated with the commercial fishing industry.” “We recognize that we are an island and we have all sorts of short-term moorage needs. People with boat access only properties, and there are a huge variety of other community uses for our docks.” “This policy of limiting long-term recreational moorage is to help us manage the increased requests for moorage that we've experienced over the past couple of years, while still ensuring that we have space available for those mandated commercial uses, but also the community island needs.” Image credit: Boater by Larry Wentzel via Flickr (CC BY SA, 2.0 License)

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Close to a dozen volunteers and two Park Rangers participated in the Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI) annual Broom Bash on Saturday, March 18. They swept the spit at Mansons Lagoon in about 3 hours. “We really appreciate all of the help from the volunteers here on Cortes. It's really amazing that the local community comes out and takes ownership of this place. We couldn't do it without the volunteers,” said Eli Simcoe Metcalfe, of BC Parks. He and his partner, Thomas Porsborg, joined in the work and also brought some baked goods for break time. Helen Hall, Executive Director of FOCI, explained “The fact there's very little broom left in the spit is all through community volunteers. Before we started doing this, the broom was 7-8 feet tall and we had to get out with chainsaws. Now, coming back each year, we've just cut the regrowth.” CC: How many volunteer activities do you have happening at FOCI? HH: “We've got a whole range of different volunteer activities. Things like this, which is practical conservation. We've also been doing a lot of work bees at the newly restored Dillon Creek Wetland at Linnaea Farm. We also have volunteers doing monitoring work for us. Over the winter months we've been doing forage fish surveys on the beach. In the summer we do foreshore monitoring with volunteers, looking at the different plant and animal communities at low tides on the beach. We've been doing that now for 25 years, so that data's really important. We also have volunteers going out once a month doing monitoring on the lake.” “We're also just about to start what's called light trap monitoring, which is placing a light trap into Cortes Bay. We are currently looking for volunteers for that. It involves putting the light trap in the water each night. We're looking for the larvae of two crabs. The Dungeness Crab, which is under threat and also the invasive Green Crab. We're looking for those two larvae to see if those crabs are here. Data is going back to the Hakai Institute, which has 20 light traps throughout the Salish Sea.” CC: So we're talking about dozens of people? HH: “Yes, lots of people, doing lots of different types of volunteer work.”   Leona Jensen has been volunteering since she arrived on Cortes Island 7 years ago. She thinks she might take part in about 30 FOCI events per year. “Yesterday I went to a Streamkeepers meeting. Then there was the wetland project, I went to pretty well all of their volunteer days. I like to be outside, to be in nature. I like to help nature if I can,” she said. “I'm here today because I'm concerned about the invasive broom plants everywhere, but especially here on Manson's Landing because it's such a vulnerable spot.” Alex Bernier is one of the contractors FOCI uses to maintain Cortes Island parks, but he came in a different role Saturday. “I'm just volunteering to try to mitigate the broom invasion down at Manson's Lagoon. It's a beautiful day and it's a good cause to try to promote the native species to take back this land,” he said. CC: Do you come every year? AB: “Yes, for probably the last five years now.” HH: “A lot of people this morning are having good fun, having a chance to meet with their neighbors and do something really positive too. I think individual projects bring a lot to volunteers. They also learn a lot about the local environment as well as contributing to some really important monitoring work and some conservation work too.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents -“I'm hoping that this summer at the Friday Market, we'll at least be able to have a prototype on a trailer. We'll be able to pull an A-frame into the parking lot at Mansons, and people will be able to walk inside, sit in it and check it out. In terms of the refined prototype, that concept will be September.” “We're working a little bit with Jason Andrews, who is so gracious with his time and expertise. He has really talked at length with us about the difference between really working on the prototyping versus jumping into trying to sell your product. There's such a high demand for an extra bedroom around.” “I think we could be popping these out by June, but they would be rudimentary and so the goal at this point would be to have them for next summer (2024). So this is something that next spring, hopefully we will be able to be in a position where we have something that's been really tested, refined and repeatable.” That was Jeramie Ellingsen talking about the next phase of Ellingsen Woods development. Up until now, they have primarily been a manufacturer of boards. Her husband, Aaron Ellingsen, has ventured into kiln dried lumber, flooring and wood panels, but it has not yet provided him with the hoped for expansion into the value added market. AE: “Jeramie has been really involved in developing the plan. We've worked on it together, but she has done a lot of the entering numbers into software and crunching things and then reaching out to talk to various people about whether it seems feasible and she doesn't technically work for the company at all. She's not compensated directly for any of the work that she does. Hopefully that will change.” “When I think about creating or about moving my business in a direction that will be selling things off island, I am thinking very regionally. If I start here on Cortes and I could sell a few of these things on Cortes, then I'd very much like to be able to sell some things on Quadra Island. I would like to be able to sell some things to Campbell River and really, I don't think that in the next few years, trying to get any further than potentially maybe a little better reach into the Lower Mainland.” “There are only 800 people on Cortes but if you can get onto Vancouver Island, then you're looking at a much, much larger market in a lot of communities. Many of them are places where tourism is a big deal.”  “We were looking around at options for things to do given the equipment that I have. Jeramie came upon this guy in California who's basically started designing structures and creating plans for structures and selling those packages online. He's done things from a small woodshed to an outhouse. His business is selling the plans for these and then creating step by step instructions on how to build the products,” “We talked with him about using his designs and he said that he was more than happy. He's been selling lots of designs and has a suspicion that many people buy his designs and then don't have time to build the projects. We could just pay him on a time by time basis for a kit of materials that we can put together. We'd include his blueprints or his designs. He did put together a 50 page instruction booklet that tells you step by step, almost like IKEA or something.”

On this episode of WSEG, we cover music news. We talk about Big Scarrs Passing and The Controversy Surround Gucci MAne and Scarr's Funeral Cost. Also, We go through the many sex accusations against Marilyn Manson.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The 2023 season for Manson's Friday Market kicked off on January 13. “I come here every week that it's open. I put my face in here, sometimes not for very long, but I always walk around and see what's happening. It's a social occasion. I was hoping to see Thaddeus here. I wanted to buy one of his pre-rolls,” said Andy Vine, a former Director of the Southern Cortes Community Association (SCCA) which looks after Mansons Hall. “This winter is going better than previous winters. There's more vendors.” Cortes Currents: Are you talking pre-covid years as well? Andy Vine: “Yes, I am talking pre-covid years. Sometimes there were only two or three vendors.” There were 7 booths spread around the hall, with a variety of different foods and goods produced on Cortes. Andy Vine: “That's nice to see.” Tammy Collingwood, SCCA's Operations Manager, explained, “The vendors are what is at the heart of the market. Making the vendors happy, seeing what their needs are and what their vision is, is my goal in moving the market forward. We're hoping to attract more vendors year round. I have a lot of ideas and other people have a lot of ideas, just trying to always make things better. The market is one of the main year-round social events that we have here in Mansons.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The boats stored along the shoreline in Mansons Landing Provincial Park have been given a reprieve. For the 15 most derelict vessels, this means another 30 days before they are removed by BC Parks. Cortes Currents followed three Park Rangers down the beach to watch them tag their first vessel, a fibreglass dinghy with holes torn out of its bottom. Another derelict vessel was being used as the roof of a crude shelter in the trees. There were a total of 57 boats in the park when the rangers arrived last month. Some have since been removed, but there are still a considerable number on the beach. Most of them look seaworthy. Half a dozen community members had a long but amiable conversation with the rangers in the parking lot. It was immediately apprarent that this was a complex issue that may take years to fully resolve. While it is now clear that the boats will all eventually have to be moved outside of the park, it is not certain when. Someone pointed out that the neighbouring summer homes were only accessible by water and their owners had been leaving their boats on the beach. This brought up another problem. They are not allowed to leave their vehicles in the parking lot overnight. What are the boundaries of the park? Mike Manson, a retired surveyor and descendant of the family that once owned the park, brought a map depicting the Ministry of Transportation land. He and the Rangers proceeded to plot out its dimentions. Another question is how does the dock at Mansons Landing fit into this discussion. Harbourmaster Jenny Hartwick explained the dock's future is tentative at this point. “The mandate of small craft harbours is to support the commercial fishing industry across Canada. It owns, operates and maintains harbours that it considers core to the commercial fishing and agriculture industry. So any facilities that it does not consider core are then considered for divestiture. In the case of the Manson's dock, it is on the 10 year divestiture list, which means that within the next 10 years, it is possible that it may be considered for divestiture.” The larger question was whether it will be possible to find a place for the boats outside of the park but close to the water. A couple of ideas were discussed, but nothing definite settled upon.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - According to Lynn Jordan, former president of the Cortes Island Museum, there have been telephones on Cortez Island for more than 110 years. They arrived in 1910, along with telegraphs, but only in the stores. “Telegrams were really cheap. They were so much for 10 words and so much for a hundred words. People got really good at confining their messages to 10 words. Telegraphs that came in for people were just put in an envelope and then pinned on the bulletin board at the store. Then they either had to check themselves or a friend would tell them that there was a message there for them,” she said. There are two slightly different accounts of the early phone service arrival in the Cortes Island Museum's history booklets. The Mansons Landing volume states telegraph and hand crank phone services went into the stores at Mansons Landing, Seaford, Squirrel Cove and Whaletown in 1910. The Squirrel Cove booklet states: “David and Mary Forest lived with their children in a tent in 1912 near Mansons Landing, while he scouted out the best spot to settle. He chose Squirrel Cove to build his home with a small store on the front. By 1914 David Forest had built a wharf in front of his home. The following year he built a small post office close to the family wharf.” Telephones started going into private residents not long after that. “Going back to the Mary Island logging family, in the 1920s they had a crank phone on the wall in their house. There was nobody from British Columbia telephone who came to string the lines or anything. It was all done by locals and work bees and they strung the lines on poles in some cases, but also they used the trees,” said Jordan. “Ned Breeze and his wife, Eliza, who lived right on the shallow side of the entrance into Gorge Harbor, had a crank phone in their house in the late twenties. The line for that was strung from the Northeast corner where Ben Fulton lives today. It's at the bottom of the hill where Hanson Creek comes in and the road has two little bridges over the creek. It would've gone along the shore all the way out to the entrance of the Gorge Harbor and it was strung on trees all the way out there. There was nobody else living on that side at that time. There was later, but they would've had phones added in from the same line.” Four phone networks sprung up, in connection with the regular Union Steamship stops at Whaletown, Mansons Landing, Squirrel Cove and Cortes Bay. There was no operator and participating households could only phone people within their network. (i.e.,- someone in Whaletown could not phone Mansons, etc.) Eventually, Jordan believes it was during the 1930s, radio phones were installed on Union Steamships so they could notify ports when they expected to arrive. She told the story of a Mr. Hawkins, who lived at the mouth of Mansons Lagoon, who was shipping hundreds of eggs to hotels in Vancouver every week. So he had a phone strung across the lagoon, from the Mansons Landing Store, to his house. One day a new float plane pilot delivering some passengers from Campbell River, found a crowd of people cheering him when he pulled up to the dock at Mansons Landing. “It was evening and the light wasn't all that good. So he came in and everybody who happened to be around there, people on boats and people from the store, everybody came down to the dock to welcome him. They gave him a round of applause and started congratulating him. He had no idea why they were doing this. He had actually flown underneath the phone line that Hawkins had strung across the entrance which at that time did not have any markers on it. Very shortly after that, there were markers hung on that line, but nobody had told him about the line. He just came in really low to land,” said Jordan. She does not know when the old crank telephone system ceased, but believes it was probably more of gradual phase out.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The situation for 57 boats tagged on the beach in Mansons Landing Provincial Park has changed. They were origiinally to have been destroyed if not moved within 30 days. That was before Lisa Ferentinos spoke with BC Parks Supervisor Thomas Porsborg. Now the removal order only applies to '15 boats that have been determined to be derelict.' Ferentinos emailed Cortes Currents,“Photos of the 15 boats will be made available soon through an announcement on Tideline with a link. BC Parks is interested in meeting with community members when they come to the island sometime around the end of November. They will notify us of the date. They can show us the boats to be removed before it happens. We can discuss with them potential areas for storage of boats adjacent to the parking lot. They also need to determine a strategy for reducing the number of boats being stored. Boats can't be kept anywhere they will destroy the coastal strand vegetation that protects the shoreline.”   Porsborg thanked Ferentinos for her interest in resolving this issue, writing “it's much appreciated.”   He also informed her that there are no other BC Parks that have a similar issue with boats being stored on park property, as storage of anything on park property is illegal. However, there are community groups that have partnership agreements with Parks to maintain trails and interpretive sites. Thomas can send us the standard language in an agreement.  If an organization were to make an agreement with Parks for a structure to hold kayaks and canoes, or an area for boat storage, liability insurance would be required and something like an annual registration fee might need to be charged to cover it. He stated that eventually BC Parks will require that all boats be moved outside the park boundary, but they have no timeframe for this. The Canadian Coastguard is aware that the derelict boats that may be creating pollution inside the lagoon and at some point they may beome involved in this issue. Also, the Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans is selling off wharves that are not primarily used for fisheries. This includes the dock at Mansons Landing. Meanwhile BC Parks will be coming to Mansons Landing Prov Park for a walk-about towards the end of November. You have been listening to a synopsis of Lisa Ferentinos email, which Park Supervisor Thomas Porsborg has seen and commented on.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - According to Lisa Ferentinos, people were leaving their small boats along the beach in Manson's Landing Provincial Park before there was a park. “I can't imagine there's ever been a time when people weren't putting their boats on that beach. It's been generations, and I can only assume pre-European contact there were many boats on that beach. I know, since the settlers have been here, it's been a very popular beach for many people,” she said. Suddenly on Monday, October 17, a red sticker was put on every boat along the beach. The accompanying notices stated, “This item/vessel is being stored in contravention of Section 17(1) of the Park, Conservancy and Recreation Area Regulation. It is required that this item/vessel be removed from Mansons Landing Provincial Park within 30 days of the date of issuance noted below. Failure to comply with this order will result in the removal and destruction of the item/vessel as described in Section 3 (3) of the Park, Conservancy and Recreation Area Regulation.” Cortes Currents contacted the BC Parks Area Supervisor, who asked that any media questions regarding the storage of boats at Manson's Landing be forwarded to their Media Contact. Unfortunately, he was not able to respond in time for this broadcast. However a possible explanation for Park's attitude may be found in a report and largely forgotten public meeting at Mansons Hall just prior to COVID. A boat owner, who does not wish to speak publicly at this time, emailed Cortes Currents, “Parks have their hands full. We need to build a good relationship with them.” Another boat owner, who also wishes to remain anonymous, said he found the manner in which boats are being barred from the beach disturbing and stressed the need for more community input in these matters. “There was no public notice given. I'm especially concerned about people that aren't here right now. Some are residents. A lot of ‘water access only' people keep their boats on the beach, and they're gone for the season. They have no idea there's a sticker on their boat and I don't know how to contact them. That's why we put the notice on the Tideline to say, ‘Hey, if you've got a boat down there, you probably now have a sticker on it and you might wan to figure out what's going on,'” explained Ferentinos. “The Rangers have been absent from the park for a while. I don't know if that's due to covid or staff shortages or both, but they seem to have just showed up back on the scene and are understandably concerned about a lot of the mess along the beach front. I'm all for cleaning up derelict and abandoned stuff and trash that's left along the beach, and would love to help out with that as long as we can have a dialogue about where to keep boats.” “I just find that the way it was done was inadequate. There needs to be some public discussion about the park in general and how we can better care for the park. I think most people that keep their boats down there really love that place and want to repair any environmental damage that's happening there, but also want to be able to continue to enjoy it. We just need to figure out how, what's the balance there? How do we make this work?” Ferentinos concluded, “That is going to require conversation with BC Parks about it. They didn't start off in the friendliest way, so there's people that are angry about it. I'm hoping that we can turn that into action and have a constructive dialogue with the parks folks.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Carol Titler served on the Friends of Cortes Island Board (FOCI) during some of the society's formative years. She was not one of the founding members, but joined in FOCI was still meeting in people's homes and hauling its records around in boxes. “Then Hubert Havelaar built an office space and it was moved to downtown Manson's Landing where it put us right there in the public eye. People began to really want to see what we were up to,” she explained.  “I think I joined at a really great time because there was a wonderful group of people there. They had these great projects that were really interesting and I felt were really great for the island. Ralph Nursall, who is no longer with us sad to say, was the president of the board. He brought all of his skills from being a marine biologist and a professor. He put together contracts to work with people because sums of money would be donated for something like forestry, large sums of money, and we needed to make sure that was all accountable and so forth. Our office person was Kathy Smail, who was really wonderful about devoting a lot of time to setting up the actual organization … Kathy was always there working away at her computer. She was a great person with the members of the island and the public.”  Now that FOCI had an office, they started putting together a library. They purchased a lot of books on sustainability, the environment, gardening or orchards, pruning, beekeeping, mushrooms, botany and anything else that seemed relevant through Marnie's Books. Nursall contributed books from his years at the University of Alberta. A discussion of various programs follows - photo courtesy FOCI

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - There are probably a dozen abandonned boats on Cortes Island right now, and Dominic dos Santos would like to have them towed away. “A lot of them are floating. Some of them just have no names on them. People just leave them there. it's just been 15 years of 'not my problem.' we got fiberglass shards on every beach now because they abandon the boats and let 'em get destroyed on the rocks . All this stuff is gonna wind up on the beach in the next five, 10 years?” he said. “Let's get them off the island while I have someone that is willing to take any boat that we can give them. They're going all the way to Victoria. Brittany and her partner from Victoria are willing to take any boat that we can give them. I arranged the date, which was before the 30th.” “All the harbours are full of crap boats. It's gotta be like at least five or six boats that can be removed from the Gorge. There's the two at Squirrel Cove, that concrete boat at Mansons, and I just brought two from Cortes Bay.” Cortes Harbourmaster Jenny Hartwick could only speak about the abandonned boats within the Harbour Authority area, but there are more in Squirrel Cove than dos Santos was aware of. “There's actually three vessels that are sitting on the beach in front of the Squirrel Cove dock. All three have been surveyed by the Coast Guard within the last month and the process has been started to have them removed.The Coast Guard also assisted in the removal of Emily, which was the fish boat, which went down on the boy that was located outside of the Squirrel Cove government dock lease area and they are also currently looking into one of the boats that's sitting at the Squirrel Cove dock as well,” she explained. Dominic dos Santos said, “People have been trying to give me the boats in Squirrel Cove. I'd love to take 'em. I need written permission, or can't do it. If I got the paperwork for those on, it would've been today.” Harbourmaster Jenny Hartwick has not met do Santos and was not previously aware of his initiative, but is concerned about the situation he is dealing with. “Unfortunately, the number of abandoned vessels is growing, and that's not just for Cortes Island, It's up and down the whole coast.” So far, dos Santos has only obtained the paperwork for two boats, which he moved from Cortes bay to Gorge Harbour. “I paid a dollar for each boat. I got the paperwork, I got 'em all signed over to me. They're my liability.” He has received a number of complaints since they arrived in the Gorge. “I'm just more surprised at the negativity surrounding what I thought would be a positive activity. My phone keeps going. If that's the case, I'll just do it on my own. It's a problem that I could fix and in the meantime I can grab a couple of anchors, or maybe a tube. This and that, some extra parts.” “From my perspective, I'm doing a local that's been here for a while, a huge favor. If anything happens, he doesn't have to worry about it. Then also cleaning up Cortes Bay. I paid $250 to get a move to the Gorge, they're going to pay me $200 for both boats.” “I would love just a little bit of support from the community, if they want to help me tow a boat. It would seem that it would make more sense for more than zero people to step up and say, ‘Hey, let's get these boats off the island before they sink and go up on the beach and ruin oyster leases.'” As dos Santos puts it, the two boats he currently has in the Gorge will ‘get Frankensteined' after they reach Victoria. “Brittany and her partner have a huge plot of land. They get all the boats together and they piece 'em together. They make something livable and then they sell it cheap for people that need a cheap house. It's kind of like a trailer park.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents -Squirrel Cove was much more important during the first part of the 20th century. Union Steamships tied up at the long wharf twice a week. There is still a Squirrel Cove General Store and post office, but there were once log boom, a sawmill, boatyard, machine shop, community hall, church and a school. Much of this infrastructure disappeared during the years that steamships were supplanted by motor boats and floatplanes. However Lynne Jordan, former President of the Cortes Island Museum, has another explanation for Squirrel Cove's decline. It starts back in the years when there were no roads on Cortes Island. “For the longest time, there was no connection from anywhere in Whaletown to the other side of the island. There was a wagon road to where Robertson road is now, then it became a walking trail. You went up over the hill and down into Squirrel Cove on a very rugged rocky trail that more or less follows Whaletown Road,” she explained. There was a road connection from there to Mansons Landing, but anyone travelling between Whaletown and Mansons had to pass through Squirrel Cove. Jordan explained that this changed during the late 1950s, when the Hansen brothers started construction of what is now called Gorge Harbour Road. “Everybody could bypass Squirrel Cove and go to Manson's Landing if they wanted to, rather than the long way around. That made a big difference to Squirrel Cove, because it was a major place that people went to from both Mansons and Gorge and Whaletown,” she explained. Jordan believes the Squirrel Cove route was still important when BC Ferries arrived in 1969. “In the first few years I think you had to drive all the way around to get to Mansons. You had to drive through Squirrel Cove. When they put the shortcut through, Squirrel Cove kind of died.” Construction of the Gorge Harbour Road also changed the face of Whaletown. “Between where the post office building was and the library, there was actually a little tiny bay. When the connector road was built from Gunflint over to whale town road, the loose rock was used to fill in that bay. Also just below the church on that road, above where the library, is that road had on both sides, rock that kind of narrowed the road. They blasted and all that rock went into that to fill in that bay. It's now a parking area between the old post office and the library.” You have been listening to part of an interview with Lynne Jordan, who is writing a history of Whaletown for the Cortes Island Museum.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Around 30 people trekked through the spit into Mansons Lagoon, during the July 12 ‘Gumbooting the Lagoon.' While Jane Newman explained the site's human history, marine biologist Deb Cowper and FOCI's Autumn Barret Morgan introduced everyone to intertidal life forms. One of the many topics that arose was the loss of marine life. After the tour, Cortes Currents asked Cowper further explanations. “I haven't come and done any firsthand studies or seen any data sets that people have been monitoring over time. I can't give a definitive answer that such and such a population is in decline or what the trends are, “ she began. Then Cowper proceeded to make some personal observations. The parts of the shortline shorelineusually covered by water looked pretty healthy, but there appeared to be less biodiversity and numbers in the more exposed upper region. This appeared to also be true in the inner lagoon. “There's probably no one smoking gun on here. You could talk about impacts of people trampling or collecting. You could talk about shifting climate, that's probably a really big one. You could point to a number of different things and without proper studies, it would be kind of wrong on me to try and figure out exactly what was the cause,” explained Cowper. Tokin Wakefield has observed the lagoons crab population virtually disappear during the 40 years she has lived by the edge of the lagoon. She and Cowper discussed the species during the gumboot tour. “They used to be everywhere And now we can hardly find them in the inner lagoon,” said Wakefield. Cowper also noted that, while it could a coincidental, she saw a much higher proportion of sea stars with wasting disease. “They seemed to be more on the rebound before the heat dome. This year I was surprised that probably a quarter of the individuals that we did see were impacted, which is concerning that it seems to be happening again,” she said. While some species are recovering better than others, Cowper said she has not seen as much biodiversity in the lagoon since last year's heat dome. While thousands of barnacles perished in the heat dome, there is also “lots of the spat of the little babies on the rocks.” So she expects to see a full recovery providing there isn't another heat dome. The number of sea stars is so reduced that Cowper suggested they need imported plankton born replacements. “I'm quite worried about the sand dollars though, I really expected to see more this year. Last year, I saw an absolutely beautiful crop of sand dollars before the heat dome. I saw the devastation immediately afterwards, but it really doesn't seem to have rebounded that I can just see from our tour today. That's a bit of a concern.” She added, “If we've got a lot of those heat dome type episodes as climate change progresses, I think we might be in trouble and see lots of shifts in the ecosystem.” Providing heat domes are once in a lifetime events, or not particularly frequent, she expects the Marine life to rebound. “What we're all very concerned about, and I think what we're witnessing unfold, is that climate change is going to bring these significant changes at a far greater rate and the frequency of those is going to ultimately impact species attempts to recover,” “Different species on the intertidal zone have a different range of tolerance. Those who are really adapted and do well, or live in a habitat like those gaper clams fairly well protected and deep where it's cool, they will continue to do reasonably well. But those species that are not as tough to do with changing temperatures in particular, salinity perhaps, and so on, they will quite likely shift in terms of their distribution. They might well lose numbers and potentially lose their foothold on this area.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Cortes Island will be holding its very own film festival in Mansons Hall on Sunday July 17, 2022. George Sirk produced Cortes Cinema's films, all but one of which was originally shown either at Mansons or Gorge Halls during the 1970s and early 80's. The exception is a video made of Ann Mortifee's performance at Manson's Hall on October 23, 1981, which has never been shown in public. Doug McCaffry came up with the idea of a film festival, when he was digitalizing Sirk's films for the Cortes Island Museum. “Once he saw the films, he was so tickled by them he said, ‘You gotta have a film festival,'” explained Sirk. “I thought, ‘okay, that'd be interesting. A film festival with only one film producer: myself, right, one producer.' So I thought, ‘Well, why not?' We approached the museum and the museum were totally on board.” Cortes Island Museum is hosting and promoting the festival.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI) is holding its annual broom bash, in Mansons Landing Provincial Park, from 10 AM to 1 PM this Saturday. “We've been doing this project on the spit now for five years,” explained Helen Hall, Executive Director of FOCI. This project started out as an attempt to protect the sensitive coastal sand ecosystem on the west side of the spit, facing the dock. Hall said some of the native plants are quite rare in BC.   “When we were first looking at working in the area, we saw that the broom had  pretty much invaded the whole of that ecosystem and was shading out these plants. It was really important for us to get it out of there. So that's what started the project,” said Hall. “We ended up clearing it out of the entire spit because it was also shading out a lot of the native species in the forested area , and we didn't want it to recolonize the beach habitat. She described broom as an invasive species that is found all over Cortes Island. “I think it's an impossible task to get rid of it everywhere. What we're looking at is  concentrating our efforts where we can have the biggest impact.  We will be working to remove the broom that has regrown since last year  and our task is to get it out of the entire spit - both the beach and forested area - again,” said Hall. She is asking people to meet in the park's parking lot at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning. All of the standard COVID precautions will be in place. If you have any signs of COVID, or have been in contact with anyone who had COVID in the last couple of weeks, please stay at home. People do not need to wear a mask because it is an outdoor event, but they are being asked to socially distance. Bring your own tools and do not share tools. FOCI will be providing hand sanitizer. It looks like it is going to rain, so bring rain gear and good boots. Hall said the volunteers will probably split into groups. They will work their way around the outside of the spit and up the middle. While pencil sized pieces of broom can be pulled out, they will need loppers and clippers to remove the larger pieces. The broom is piled onto tarps and then dragged back into the parking lot. “We have an agreement with BC parks that we actually stash it in the forest further up the road, as it doesn't regrow in deep shade” said Hall. She described the broom bash as a good way, especially during COVID, to meet outside and do something really positive for the environment. “We do have a break in the middle of the morning and we're providing lots of goodies. I've just been ordering some brownies and cookies and all sorts from the co-op. And we're asking people to bring their own drinks,” she explained. “We are really hoping that we get a good turnout and not only clear broom out of the spit, but we can start clearing broom around the lagoon, which would be really fantastic. So the more people who turn up to the better.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - It has been more than a week since the Southern Cortes Community Association, or SCCA, put out a survey to find out what kinds of spaces, opportunities and events the community wants to see in Mansons Hall. In today's interview Cora Moret, secretary of the SCCA, describes what sounds like the society's rebirth after a two-year-long COVID hibernation. “The survey results are pouring in. Some people are like - ‘is the hall even open? I miss the good old days when we could watch movies!' Others have imagined great creations like four tiered memberships, every night programming and office hours every day. We're like, okay, let's see what we can make,” she said. Though the hall was open, it did not offer much in terms of programming and the recently elected Board feels like they are starting from ground zero. “It is a time of transition. The board is genuinely interested in hearing what people have to say about what they want to see. Just come ask us. Everything we do is out in the open and we are welcoming comments and inquiries of any sort,” said Moret. The new SCCA board consists of: Tammy Collingwood (President) - who put out the job posting for a new manager at the hall. Tony Toledo (Treasurer) Rebecca Thacker Joy Shipway - who is in charge of Friday markets Myrna Kerr, former President of the SCCA who brings a lot of experience to the Board Cora Moret (Secretary) The SCCA has also formed a number of new committees a governance committee, which will compile information about policies, the SCCA's charter, constitution and bylaws a fundraising committee an ad hoc hiring committee for the new manager a market committee. A liaison committee to communicate with CCEDA's ‘Village Commons' project. “It's natural that SCCA would facilitate the transition into using that area more effectively, to create a real community feel to the downtown. So that's an exciting part of being on the board particularly now,” said Moret. They also want to revamp the website so that members can use it to access the minutes and other documents. Moret and her family moved to Cortes in 2014, and have enjoyed events like the African drummers, Cortes Day and Friday Markets. “It's been an important part of my family's life, having access to events at the hall and things that are going on,” she said. Moret mentioned three ways that people can fill out to the SCCA's public survey. There are forms at Mansons Hall and each of the three Cortes Island Post Offices, or you can fill out the electronic survey which you will find through the link posted on the Tideline or in the written version of this article at Cortes currents.ca.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - The Cortes Community Economic Development Association (CCEDA) released their site design concept for the ‘Village Commons,' in Mansons Landing, last week. This is the fruition of a public consultation process which actually began in 2004, more than a decade before CCEDA purchased the property. In today's interview, project leader Kate Madigan talks about the six months of community meetings and input that led to the current design. The first step was finding a consultant from outside the community to facilitate the process. Madigan said that Dave Snider and Patricia Huntsman from the Pathways Landscape Group did an excellent job from start to finish. They gave CCEDA a variety of ways to consult with the community: sounding boards, where people could post thier ideas, were put up at the post office and Cortes Market in Mansons Landing, the Squirrel Cove General Store and ferry terminal waiting room in Whaletown. An online bulletin board was set up for community members to post their ideas. Around 20 people logged in to a virtual community cafe that Patricia and Dave facilitated. Around 15 people showed up for a face to face meeting in Mansosn Hall last fall. “It felt like we got a real diversity of perspectives,” explained Madigan. “We did have someone who really wanted there to be lots of space for small business people and we had people who did want to be able to drive into the site. There was some question as to whether we wanted there to be a road going through there and we had people saying you don't have to develop this all at once. Which is true, we don't have to do it all at once. We can just do a staged development we can keep it fairly undeveloped too. There's lots of people that feel it should remain park-like. There was just so many ideas and we were just very satisfied with it.” The top three ideas appeared to be: keep it small, keep it rural a laundromat an outdoor event venue. There is a central covered area with stage capacities and an area for fires. “So, we have the outdoor venue figured out and then some what's called flex spaces that could be used for anything. They're just buildings that could be office space,” said Madigan. A laundromat might be more problematic. Space is limited (2.6 acres) and the only road goes one way, which might be problematic if a lot of people are using it to drive up to the laundromat. I mean, you have a load and people want to drive up to it. “I don't know that this space would be conducive to a laundromat. There might be other spaces in Manson's that are more appropriate for that.” she said. The Village Commons is fairly park-like right now. Madigan said the clearing is a nice place to enjoy the sun on winter days. There is a shallow well and CCEDA plans to convert its old wheeled kiosk into office space. “We like this plan today, but in two years, something could change and we could say, you know what? It makes so much more sense to have this other thing. And how can we incorporate that into the plan?” she said. Madigan expects the plan to unfold slowly, as funding and the availability of volunteers permit. She added, “I really feel strongly that people seem to be pleased. I'm not hearing any negative feedback about this. I think the process was well received by the community and it really is due to the efforts of volunteers. CCEDA's land working group is made up of Amy Robertson, Colin Funk, and Beatrix Baxter. They really did want to get this right according to the community's wishes and they continue to want to see that.”

Join us as we talk about Tarantino's 2019 movie "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Saturday, March 13th, the Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI) carried out a Broom Bash at Mansons Landing Provincial Park. As Helen Hall, Executive Director of FOCI, explained, “The broom is encroaching into both the fragile coastal sand ecosystem and the forested part of the Spit, competing with and shading out native vegetation growing here. We carry out a broom bash every year to keep it under control and to allow the native plants to recover and thrive.” The volunteers – Leona Jensen, Ryan Harvey, Alex Bernier, Elizabeth Anderson, Don Hall, Dancing Wolf and Arlene Tompkins – removed broom re-growth from the whole of the Spit, including the threatened coastal sand ecosystem, helping to restore the natural vegetation growing here.

About forty Cortes Islanders attended a public meeting on February 15th at Manson's Hall, to discuss local governance models and alternatives.

"Margheriti Strikes Back" In which host Dylan mini-reviews a huge movie he missed last year, ":Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood" directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie in a 1969 Hollywood love-letter mixing movie-making with the Mansons. Historical questions are answered in this episode. Who is really the main character here? How do I feel about Tarantino's drawn-out style for suspense and general sequences? And, most importantly, are my hands registered as lethal weapons? Answer all of these inquiries and more on the thirty-fifth episode of CineStudy. In typical CineStudy fashion, this episode is separated into spoiler-free and spoiler-full sections. SPOILERS - 17:53 Thanks for listening to CineStudy!

In the summer of 1968, the Beach Boys’ drummer Dennis Wilson invited a hippie guru and his grungy harem to squat in his Pacific Palisades home. Dennis was the handsome California surfer that his brother Brian wrote all those hit songs about, while the hippie cult would soon be infamous the world over as the Manson Family. What happened when the Wilsons met the Mansons would forever change Dennis, the band, and American history itself. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

On the August 19 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor-in-chief Peter Sciretta is joined by /film weekend editor Brad Oman and senior writer Ben Pearson to discuss the latest film and TV news, including Masters of the Universe, The Snyder Cut of Justice League, Venom 2 and Disney+. And in the Mailbag, we'll be responding to some letters about Neill Blomkamp and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.   Opening Banter: There was no episode on Friday but this week is D23 Expo 2019.   In the News: Brad - ‘Masters of the Universe: Revelation' Animated Series Revival Coming From Kevin Smith at Netflix Ben - Jason Momoa Has Seen the Snyder Cut of ‘Justice League', and He Has a One-Word Review Ben (og Chris) - ‘Venom 2' Will Be Shot By Cinematographer Robert Richardson Brad: Disney Aiming to Crack Down on Password Sharing with Charter Communications Cable CompanyBrad: Disney+ Announces Compatible Devices for Launch and International Pricing Plans   In The Mailbag: Haisam (Pronounces Hi-Sam) from Egypt writes in “On the August 15th episode, while discussing the RoboCop news, you guys brought up Neill Blomkamp and Chris mention how he thinks he's a bad filmmaker. While I agree, Blomkamp filmography is bad, I don't think the guy keeps falling upwards or the implication that he's a hack. I find Blomkamp to be an interesting filmmaker with one major flaw.  He is a technical and visually driven director who puts a tremendous effort and attention to detail in the image and has total command and control over it, yet has no sense of storytelling. Just like Gareth Edwards, and to some extent, Zack Snyder, his skill as a writer is far behind his skill as a visualizer. Blomkamp's approach to action and spectacle is very uniquely his own. It has intention and clear point of view, and doesn't just go for the flashy overstimulating bombast that amounts to visual noise. While his style feels influenced by video game cut scenes, it's done in a way that is dynamic, and shows an understanding of the cinematic medium.   If you get a chance to check any of the ART OF THE MOVIE book of one his films you'll see how deep and fledged his approach to the process is. It's just that despite all this micromanagement and focus on the frame, he lacks that nuanced perspective when it comes to the bigger picture and story. Which is why I don't think he has not made a good movie yet. There is still a lot of promise though, and I wouldn't write him off yet. Love you all, keep up the good work.” Some responses to our Once Upon A Time In Hollywood spoiler discussion:Gokul from Auckland, NZ writes in: I have just listened to your spoiler-cast on Once Upon A Time in Hollywood ( a little late I know but NZ only got the movie here last week), and I was really caught up by your discussion about whether having prior knowledge about the Mansons and Sharon Tate was needed to really get the most out of this movie.   What really interested me was that most of the crew seemed to think that the background knowledge wasn't needed and in Chris's and Ben's point of view, the audience should already know about this as part of their education. I thought I would share my thoughts from a perspective of someone brought up outside of the United States, and who wasn't around when these events occurred.   Personally I think this movie actually requires you to do some homework and learn about Tate and the Mansons. My girlfriend and I both saw the movie together and while I had some cursory knowledge about the events, my girlfriend was going in blind as this era in American history is not taught in the NZ curriculum.   What that meant was, the build up to the end and the anticipation of what was going to happen was kind of wasted on my girlfriend. I mean, she knew that something could happen to Rick and Cliff but the added dread about what could happen to Sharon was simply missing for her. In fact, she couldn't understand what the point of Tate's role in the film was. To my girlfriend, it just seemed like the audience was following her around, seeing her day to  day life for no reason and with no real payoff. This was probably compounded by the fact that Robbie did not have a lot of dialogue or even a seeming arc compared to Dalton or Cliff. I would say that the sweetness and sensitivity felt towards Tate was due mainly to what the audience knows happens to her and so the little moments with Tate took on added meaning. Since I had a vague idea of her story, her role made more sense to me.   Funnily enough, once we saw the movie, my girlfriend and I both went home and read up on the Mansons and Tate, and suddenly the movie took on a whole new meaning for us. So I would say to anyone watching the film, do some homework on the Mansons and Tate before going in to see the movie.” Phil writes in “After having watched Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, i was able to finally enjoy the spoiler podcast for this movie. The movie premiered 3 weeks after the us release in Europe, where I live. I have to thank you for bringing up that the movie has structural problems in the case of viewers not being familiar with the Manson murders. As a non-US-viewer, I know that Charles Manson was a cult leader and murderer, but not much more. Only if you are interested in serial killers and American cults, you know details. I tried to stay away from spoilers too.  This resulted in me not getting why we follow this young starlet, who actually never became relevant to the story, as she is not involved in the final showdown. Furthermore the intruder who was supposed to be Charles Manson didn't ring a bell, as i do not know how Charles Manson looked like when he was young. And there are Killers whose motivation I do not get alone by watching the movie, although it is instantly obvious that they are dangerous.  So yeah, it is a possibility for the audience to not know the context and it results in a unsatisfying viewing experience. The movie seemed like shards connected through something I'm not familiar with.

Man kan ikke komme udenom Charles Manson i denne måned, hvor den notoriske seriemorder figurerer i både Quentin Tarantinos ’Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’, den nye sæson ’Mindhunter’ og i dokumentarserien ’Charlie Manson’s Bloodline’, der nu kan ses på Viaplay. Jacob og Lise går veloplagte og post-sommerferie-binge-ivrige i kødet på sidstnævnte, men noget er – med Lises ord – »helt off« i fortællingen om Mansons barnebarn, der forsøger at arrangere en ’almindelig’ begravelse for sin morderiske »grandpa«. For giver det mening at hylde uhyrets menneskelige sider, når nu uhyret er så indiskutabelt afskyvækkende – og altoverskyggende? Det er svært at kigge væk, men spørgsmålet er, om det også er godt tv. Podcasterne debatterer inden proceduren rykkes over i ’The Good Fight’s feisty fiktive – og anderledes humoristiske! – retssale. CBS-serien, der kan ses på HBO Nordic, er meget mere end en spinoff af ’The Good Wife’ (som hverken Jacob eller Lise har set). Og så går den frådende og underholdende gakket i frontalangreb mod Trump-administrationen som ingen anden fiktionsserie.

This is the first of our three final episodes, and we’re joined by screenwriter Guinevere Turner (American Psycho,Go Fish) whose latest film Charlie Says just came out today, May 10th. As “budding cult-ologist” MagWaps notes, “if you think you’ve heard everything on the Mansons, trust me, this movie takes a different view.” Having grown up in a cult, Guinevere was able to draw from her experiences and insight to tell the story from the point of view of the women who were targeted and groomed by Manson, and killed for him. It’s a fascinating discussion. Plus, the panel convened once again to vote on another Pop Rocket Seal of Approval. The final three nominees were Sandra Oh, Toni Collette and Catherine O’Hara. There are two more Pop Rocket episodes to go in its nearly five-year run.

Sektleder Charles Manson. Foto: Wikimedia CommonsMed vores nye podcast ‘Med døden til følge' kan du komme helt tæt på nogle af historiens mest berygtede sekter. Alle med det til fælles, at de fik en dødelig udgang. I denne serie sætter vi fokus på tragedierne, kollektive selvmord, bestialske mord og terrorangreb, og forsøger samtidig at blive klogere på de karismatiske og fanatiske ledere, deres dedikerede følgere og sekternes trossæt og forestillinger om dommedag.I dette afsnit ser vi nærmere på historien om Charles Manson og hans disciple. Historien om den berømte Manson-familie er blevet fortalt utallige gange. Om de bestialske mord, om Mansons drøm om en revolution og ikke mindst om hippiedrømmen, som familien udsprang af men som for alvor mistede sin uskyld. Men hvorfor fortsætter Manson med at fascinere så mange år senere. Og hvordan er det gået til, at Manson er blevet en hel industri og selv efter sin død 19. november sidste år stadigvæk har dedikerede følgere. Vært: Kristoffer Lind.Gæst: Peder Byberg
