    Annotated Bibliography Cowichan River System Literature Related to Factors Affecting the Production ofCowichan River Chinook, Coho, and Chum Salmon April 2002 By Coastline Environmental Services 3453 Falcon Drive, Nanaimo BC V9T4G7, Home: (250) 756-2287 Cell: (250) 729-6238 Email: [email protected] For Oceans and Community Stewardship 4166B Departure Bay Road, Nanaimo, B.C V9T 4B7. and Cowichan Tribes 5760 Allenby Road Duncan, B.C V9L 5Jl INTRODUCTION Concerns have been identified regarding the Cowichan River system and possible factors affecting the production of chinook, coho and chum salmon. Despite stringent management strategies Cowichan River salmon stocks continue to remain below optimal production levels for the river system. This annotated bibliography was created in conjunction with a compilation of the reports cited, creating a specialized literature resource. The majority ofreports included have been copied from originals, bound and organized in alphabetical order by author. There are two complete sets available; one set will be kept at oceans and community stewardship office in Nanaimo and the other at DFO district office in Duncan. Each report has been annotated in this bibliography including; full citation, abstract source and abstract. Abstracts were derived from a variety of sources, including, original reports, an annotated bibliography created by Kristen Daniels, and myself. These resources were created to aid in a preliminary assessment into why Cowichan River salmon populations have failed to recover despite management efforts. The hope was that available literature would provide clues as to possible limiting factors for influencing recovery of chinook, chum and coho populations in the Cowichan River system. The literature included was gathered from various libraries, biologists, scientists and government organizations.

  • The Irish Rovers Live at the River Rock Show Theatre
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 21, 2008 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT PRESENTS THE IRISH ROVERS LIVE AT THE RIVER ROCK SHOW THEATRE TUESDAY, MARCH 17 FOR TWO SHOWS ON ST. PATRICK’S DAY! The Irish Rovers are the international ambassadors of Irish music and have charmed and entertained people all over the world. It was in 1963 when 16-year old George Millar and 23-year old Jim Ferguson, both new emigrants from Northern Ireland, met in Toronto at an Irish function. They ended up singing together until dawn and it was right there and then that the Irish Rovers were launched. They performed as a duo until George's cousin, Joe Millar, immigrated to Canada the following year. After several months of engagements throughout Ontario, the trio made their way to Calgary where they joined forces with George's brother, Will Millar. The group then headed to the United States in 1965 where they ended up headlining for an unprecedented 22 sold- out weeks at The Purple Onion in San Francisco. The folk clubs of California became the learning grounds for the young Rovers and a year later, they were offered a recording contract with Decca Records. The First Of The Irish Rovers, a live album recorded at The Icehouse in Pasadena was released and it generated enough excitement to warrant another album and from this release came the million selling single “The Unicorn” … the band’s signature song to this day. Wilcil McDowell, an old friend from Ireland, joined the band at this time enhancing their sound and rounding out the group.

  • The Irish Rovers Bring the Party to the Southern Theatre March 4
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 29, 2018 The Irish Rovers Bring the Party to the Southern Theatre March 4 For more than half a century, this Celtic super-group has charmed and entertained audiences around the world with their exciting stage shows and live performances of their original rollicking drinking songs and beautiful ballads. Regularly touring the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, The Irish Rovers’ hits such as “The Unicorn,” “Wasn’t That a Party,” and “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” have sold millions of copies worldwide. On this final world tour, the Unicorn Tour 2018, the band hopes to bid a proper farewell to all those they have entertained for these many years. CAPA presents The Irish Rovers at the Southern Theatre (21 E. Main St.) on Sunday, March 4, at 7 pm. Tickets are $30-$60 at the CAPA Ticket Center (39 E. State St.), all Ticketmaster outlets, and www.ticketmaster.com. To purchase tickets by phone, please call (614) 469-0939 or (800) 745-3000. The story of the Rovers began in 1963, when 16-year-old George Millar and 23-year-old Jim Ferguson, both new emigrants from N. Ireland, met in Toronto at an Irish function. They ended up singing together until dawn; and so, The Irish Rovers were launched. They performed as a duo until George's cousin, Joe Millar, immigrated to Canada the following year. Joe, who sang traditional ballads and played button-key was recruited as he stepped off the plane. George's musician father, Bob Millar, who was also a button-key accordion player, became the band's first manager.

With warmest regards, Bruce Feller President, American Rhododendron Society Congratulations to the Cowichan Valley Rhododendron Society on their 25th anniversary. Over the years Madeleine and I have become friends with many of you and attended many of your meetings. It’s seems that your CVRS is a little younger minded crowd than we have in Victoria and it is nice to come to a meeting that is structured differently. We have enjoyed many of your speakers and actually kind of stole some of them and had them speak in Victoria.

Through the 1970's and early 80's, the Rovers brought their magic to television with a weekly series for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and later, a series on the Global Network in conjunction with Ulster Television in Ireland. In 1980-81, The Rovers once again soared to the top of the pop and country charts with "Wasn't That A Party". This real-life celebration was written by their friend, U.S. folk singer Tom Paxton, after he witnessed one of the band's famous post-show parties. It went on to become an international anthem of good cheer. The band recorded "Grandma Got Run-Over By A Reindeer" in 1982, which has become a seasonal hit. The Irish Rovers continue to perform in theatres around the world, with The new millennium marked the 36th anniversary of the birth of the Irish original members George Millar, Joe Millar and Wilcil McDowell.
