SOUND CHECK The Barkley Sounds<br />
BAND MEMBERS:<br />
Vocals & Guitar: Maxwell Cranford; Keyboard & Vocals: Ian Shu; Drums: Andy Keeling; Guitar: Jeff Lee; Bass: Thomas Trauttmansdorff<br />
The Barkley Sounds are a band of<br />
Canadians from all over the country<br />
who came together in the small<br />
town of Ucluelet. They have been playing<br />
together for almost four years bringing out<br />
many talented musicians to the west coast<br />
to promote the amazing music scene on the<br />
island.<br />
The Barkley Sounds music is strongly<br />
influenced from the classic Rock n Roll of<br />
the 60's and 70's as well as the new wave of<br />
garage rock and psychedelic music coming<br />
out today. Add in a pinch of everything<br />
weird and you will get any idea of what they<br />
are going for.<br />
Their music can be described as fuzzed out<br />
garage rock psychedelia and their mission is<br />
to blow your mind. Dancing is encouraged<br />
at all of their shows.•<br />

Featured Artist<br />
Harold Sadler<br />
<strong>Ukeedaze</strong>: When did you move to the<br />
coast? What brought you here and what<br />
made you stay?<br />
Harold: came here with my Mom (Ruth),<br />
Dad (Jim) and my brother and sister back<br />
in the winter of 1967 when I was nearly 5.<br />
We lived outside of Tofino at “Wit’s End”<br />
at first, and then at the duplex that used to<br />
be at the corner of 4th and Campbell. My<br />
Dad had been here to compete in a surf<br />
contest in ’66 and fell in love with the place.<br />
He met Jack Walters when he was back in<br />
Victoria and Jack needed someone to build<br />
a store (which is now LA Grocery) for<br />
him out here so Dad took the job and we<br />
moved out. I helped him put the rocks up<br />
on the wall of what is now the gift shop.<br />
Once we were here there was no way we<br />
were going anywhere else. There was lots<br />
of work for my Dad and more importantly<br />
lots of surf! As far as Dad was concerned<br />
this was a “little taste of heaven”. I tend to<br />
agree with him now. Way back then I was a<br />
bit bummed that there wasn’t much in the<br />
way of television reception and there were<br />
no movie theatres or circuses.<br />
<strong>Ukeedaze</strong>: When and how did you start<br />
creating art?<br />
Harold: I started drawing very young,<br />
probably by the time I was <strong>10</strong>. I did mostly<br />
pencil sketches but I remember trying<br />
to paint with water colours and I used<br />
some pastels as well. My Dad was very<br />
encouraging as he had always liked to draw<br />
and there are quite a few artistic types in our<br />
family. Once I got into high school I had a<br />
great art teacher who gave me some good<br />
basics and then let me do my own thing.<br />
Basically that meant painting a lot of surfers<br />
and waves. She had loads of patience! I<br />
also had a good family friend, Rick Charles,<br />
who lived here for decades and is now in<br />
Victoria. He is an incredibly accomplished<br />
and gifted artist and would be over at our<br />
house a lot so he kindly gave me lots of<br />
good advice and instruction as well. I first<br />
tried water colours, but I got frustrated<br />
as I couldn’t correct mistakes and I found<br />
that maddening so I switched to acrylics. I<br />
painted with those for three years or so and<br />
then my art teacher suggested I try oils. As<br />
soon as I tried those I gave all my acrylics to<br />
my Mom for her Sunday School class and I<br />
have used oils ever since.<br />
<strong>Ukeedaze</strong>: What inspires you?<br />
Harold: Wow, painting-wise pretty much<br />
everything I see. I love the big panoramas<br />
of ocean, sky and land. That whole west<br />
coast “end of the road” kind of thing. I<br />
find the colours out here really amazing,<br />
even under subdued lighting. The greens are<br />
greener than anywhere else I have ever seen<br />
and that winter blue of the ocean on a clean<br />
offshore day is breathtaking, not to mention<br />
the sunsets and the crazy storms. I also like<br />
the character I see in the faces of the folks<br />
around me. I am hoping to tackle a few<br />
people-centered paintings soon.<br />
<strong>Ukeedaze</strong>: What medium do you use?<br />
Harold: Oil on canvas board. I am just<br />
starting to experiment with masonite board.<br />
<strong>Ukeedaze</strong>: What is your favorite thing about<br />
living in this area?<br />
Harold: Ya gotta ask? Actually my favorite<br />
thing is that the people I love are all here.<br />
My Wife and boys, Mom, brother, cousins,<br />
Uncles and Aunts plus all my good friends<br />
that I have known for decades. Without<br />
those people and their love and support this<br />
wouldn’t be home.<br />
<strong>Ukeedaze</strong>: If someone wants to view or<br />
purchase your art, where can they go?<br />
Harold: I will probably get a website up<br />
at some point, but for now folks can<br />
see the latest that I have done on the<br />
PRAS website and they can contact me at<br />
summerhilltofino@gmail.com.<br />

Featured Wildlife<br />
Red Tail Hawk<br />
Photo: Katlyn Durocher<br />
The most common hawk on Coastal Vancouver Island,<br />
the red tailed hawk, has a range that covers all of North<br />
America extending from Alaska to Panama. They have<br />
been known to aggressively defend their territories and nesting<br />
areas and will even chase off other birds of prey. Identified by<br />
their rounded wings, wide tail, dark brown back, and pale streaked<br />
underside with reddish brown tail, red tails weigh between 0.7 - 1.5<br />
kg, are 45 - 60 cm in length and have a wing span between 1<strong>10</strong> - 145<br />
cm. Like many raptors, red tail females are larger than their male<br />
counterparts by up to 30 percent.<br />
Red tailed hawks are typically monogamous and breeding pairs usually<br />
stay together until one of them dies. An opportunistic hunter,<br />
they can often be seen soaring in slow circles searching for their<br />
food, and have even been observed hunting in pairs for their prey<br />
which typically includes: mice and squirrels (rodents can make up to<br />
85% of their diet), small mammals, small birds, reptiles, amphibians<br />
and fish. In the spring, sexually mature mating pairs build a large<br />
nest together out of sticks, bark and foliage which they typically reuse<br />
and repair over the years. Nests are usually located high up with<br />
a good view of the surrounding area. In March to April breeding<br />
pairs lay a clutch of 1 to 5 eggs which are incubated primarily by<br />
the female. After hatching, the mother takes primary care over the<br />
young during the nestling period while the male hunts for food for<br />
the group. Young hawks leave the nest at around 4 months of age<br />
and are sexually mature between 2 and 3 years of age.<br />
Currently the red tailed hawk is classified as least concerned by<br />
the ICUN (International Union for Conservation of Nature<br />
and Natural Resources), meaning its breeding population is at a<br />
sustainable number and not at risk. However, the biggest threat to<br />
their survival is ingesting mice that have been poisoned. Because<br />
rodents make up such a large portion of their diet they can<br />
unknowingly expose themselves to high levels of toxins. One way<br />
to protect red tailed hawks is to not use poisons to deal with rodent<br />
problems but instead use traps. This can help prevent red tailed<br />
hawks or other birds of prey from being unintentionally poisoned<br />
and help preserve their current populations.•<br />
