We have been working closely with RCMP Constable Rob Gardner
over the past couple of days because Jenny and John took part in the big Cops
for Kids fundraiser “Jail & Bail” at Castlegar Boston Pizza. I am so proud
of them; they raised over $1100 in just over an hour while they were locked up!
I know this is a little off topic, but you can check out the
video of Constable Rob Gardner here. The “summons” cracked me up; he did an
excellent job “arresting” the Morning Herd Hosts!

Back to “Dreamer”, this incredible sculpture standing a few
steps off of Columbia Ave. reminds me of Supertramp’s song that shares the same
name. Except this guy has his hands on his hips instead rather than his head. I
have thought about this a surprising amount as I passed by “Dreamer” on my walks.
“Dreamer” is unlike any other sculpture on the walk, a metal
work that is extremely detailed, large and as you can see reflective. I like “Dreamer”
because he to me represents a futuristic, robotic man. As a person who spends
eight hours a day in a room listening to music pretty much alone, I think the
best way I can describe dreamer is by comparing him to music. If you combine
Styx’s “Mr.Roboto” with Supertramp’s “Dreamer” I believe you would the character
behind the sculpture “Dreamer” exhibited as part of Castlegar’s Sculpture Walk,
just a thought.
“Dreamer” is an international sculpture coming from Rik
Beuselinck who is from Belgium. For more on “Dreamer” and Beuselinck click here.
