This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.

- “When my Concerts Denman colleague Eliazar Hason booked Oktopus... Eight musicians... clarinet soloist... violin and flute soloists... big brass section... The band was setting up... solo violin near the end of the evening was in the character of a doina... audience froze in awe... one of those rare moments in violin playing.” — The Islands Grapevine – August 16th, 2018 (August 16th, 2018)
