Fire-ravaged Dino’s vows to reopen Up in smoke: Officials still trying to determine cause of restaurant blaze in historic building Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
D
ino’s Grill’s co-owner vows to reopen his ¿re-damaged eatery as soon as possible. “We hope to rebuild and reopen in six months to a year,” Dean Soler said Monday after Sunday night’s blaze destroyed his downtown Duncan eatery at the Government and Jubilee street corner. “We just need to pick up the pieces and start over. My biggest fear is how and where it started.” That’s also the concern of cops and ¿re marshals probing the ¿re’s cause. “The ¿re is being investigated as suspicious at this time, and it is not yet determined whether this is an arson,” Cpl. Kevin Day of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP says in Monday’s press release. Soler was somewhat surprised to hear news of that statement from the News Leader Pictorial. “They said it was something internal,” he said of his talks to investigators about the 10 p.m. ¿re in the bistro he opened two years ago with partner, Jaclyn Soler.
Walk-in clinic closing Cowichan’s first walk-in clinic is closing by July’s end due to doctor shortage, says founder Dr. Stephen Faulkner. Shutting of the downtown Duncan Silverfern clinic, opened in October 2004, could leave its 70-some daily patients seeking care elsewhere, he explained. “I can’t get doctors,” Faulkner told the News Leader Pictorial Tuesday. “People will have no idea what to do. It’ll be more than tough.” Dr. Len Roy, a Duncan practitioner and Cowichan District Hospital’s top doc, agreed.

Du Duncan ÄreÄghter Wes Elvin battles the blaze at Dino’s Grill Sunday night; Investigators check the Äre scene at Dino’s Di Grill Monday morning in downtown Duncan.
Dean Soler believed the blaze began in Dino’s prep area, not the kitchen. “The kitchen looked to be intact to my cook,” he said. “The cause is possibly electrical. “It’s an old building — what can you say?” he aasked of the 1938 landmark building owned and iinsured by Cowichan Estates. The ¿rm’s policy complements insurance carrried by the Solers, he said. No matter how the blaze started, Soler’s evenning ended in horror, watching the smokey ¿re iin his 58-seat eatery. “It was surreal. “We came down before the ¿re department bbecause the alarm company called me,” he said, nnoting door alarms hadn’t sounded in the 6 1/2 hhours since Dino’s closed Sunday. “I couldn’t believe how fully engulfed the bbuilding was.” Police investigators and agents with the Of¿ce oof the Fire Commissioner were still on scene behhind yellow safety tape at around noon Monday.
About two-dozen Duncan volunteer ¿reA ¿gghters were on scene shortly after 10 p.m. to battle the blaze that destroyed Dino’s dining ba room. There were no injuries, and no one was inside Dino’s when the ¿re started, Day said. Dino’s interior was a tangle of blackened furniture, chunks of insulation, and venting, mixed with window glass after ¿re¿ghters pushed panes inside the restaurant as a safety measure. Water service was returned to adjacent shops on Jubilee Street, Monday morning after being shut off Sunday night, police said. Mounties also blocked roads and re-routed traf¿c around the ¿re at the corner of Government and Jubilee streets. Dino’s windows were boarded Monday, while investigators probed the ¿re’s source in the eatery serviced by natural gas. The blaze caught the eye of many locals, including Marianna Schwab. “I heard cracking and thought someone was drinking and smashing bottles,” she told the News Leader Pictorial.

“It took the ¿remen just 10 minutes to arrive.” Longevity John Falkner noted he could see the inferno’s glow several blocks away at the rear of his Duncan Garage Showroom. RCMP Const. Marcus Lueder of North Cowichan/Duncan’s detachment dismissed reports of a marijuana-growing operation above Dino’s. “Cross that one off the list.” Damage to adjoining shops is still be analyzed by investigators. That damage could have been worse had Dino’s not installed a kitchen ¿re wall, on the suggestion of Duncan’s building inspector, Soler explained. “It never did spread.” Meanwhile, he hoped his six staffers ride out the down time, while customers remain loyal. “We were just getting going, that’s the heartbreaking thing,” said Soler, visualizing a new cafeteria-style lunch menu in the rebuilt bistro. “It’s like starting over, but at least people know who we are.” Fire witnesses can call the North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522.

Catalyst tweaks plan in hopes of another Änancial-restructuring vote Catalyst is making a last-ditch attempt to halt its looming sell-off. A second vote to help fiscally rescue Crofton pulp mill’s floundering parent firm is being sought from its stakeholders, Catalyst Paper’s agents said Monday. If the firm can gather enough support of its secured noteholders to move forward with an amended restructuring plan, the company will ask
for a court-ordered creditor vote on the amended plan as soon as possible, a firm press release says. The firm hopes proposed changes to the way the plan addresses the pension and health benefits plans of former salaried employees will be enough to convince creditors to reconsider after they rejected a similar plan May 23 by a three per cent margin. The company figures it would save some $7
Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 3
million annually given those modifications, Catalyst says. The proposal needs approval from Victoria to fly. According to the Catalyst news release, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon is ready to hand his recommended support to Cabinet. While the amended plan is mulled, Catalyst continues implementing the court-approved sale and investor solicitation process, staff explains.
Province rejects CVRD call for moratorium on soil Äll project South Shawnigan: Ministry of Environment says it has no legal authority to grant CVRD request Krista Siefken
News Leader Pictorial
A
Cowichan Valley Regional District call for an immediate moratorium on a quarry reclamation project in south Shawnigan has been rejected by the province. The CVRD had requested an inde¿nite halt on South Island Aggregates’ application to use some contaminated soil as part of its soil dumping proposal. But Ministry of Environment communications of¿cer Suntanu Dalal explained in an email to the News Leader Pictorial late Friday afternoon that the ministry has no legal authority to place a moratorium on applications, and has a legal obligation to consider the application. “The ministry is con¿dent that the South Island Aggregates authorization process will provide suf¿cient opportunity for public concerns to be identi¿ed and addressed,” he wrote. “The ministry’s review continues, and a further public meeting is currently being organized by the Cowichan Valley Regional District, Ministry of Environment and South Island Aggregates. “The ministry will continue to consider requests received from stakeholders, and seek further clari¿cation as needed to ensure concerns can be addressed through the application process that is currently underway,” he added. “Regional districts have mechanisms to control land use through zoning and bylaws.” The response came in reaction to a press release issued late Thursday afternoon from the CVRD’s recently
formed soils relocation sub-committee, an offshoot of the regional services committee. The sub-committee is also calling for a CVRD-led public meeting on SIA’s application, with attendance from the district, the company, plus the environment and mines ministries. “We would like to see the Ministry of Environment extend the public consultation period on the SIA application until the end of November,” CVRD Chairman, and sub-committee member, Rob Hutchins said in the release. “Area residents right now are frustrated and don’t trust that their fears and concerns are being adequately heard. We at the regional district want to help with this process — that is why we will be convening an open public meeting as soon as it can be reasonably put together.” SIA’s managing partner, Marty Block, was admittedly puzzled by the CVRD’s moratorium request. “SIA has an application in front of the province, for a permit on our property to conduct business on our property,” he said. “It’s not a permit through the CVRD. It’s a provincial permit. If the CVRD has input and ideas we’re happy to listen to them, and maybe even implement a lot of them, but as for the moratorium (request), I don’t get it.” But Shawnigan Lake Director Bruce Fraser said the moratorium would allow time for thorough public consultation. “I think it would be a bene¿t to both the company and the local population,” he said Friday morning. He pointed out opposition to SIA’s project has been escalating, even before the acts of arson and vandalism at the Stebbings Road site earlier this week.
Don Bodger/¿le
An SIA proposal to bring contaminated soil into the Shawnigan Lake area has attracted concern. Pink spray-paint spelled out ‘No’ and other, less savoury words at SIA, but unknown culprits also torched a piece of equipment worth more than $300,000. “It’s a sort of mobile conveyor system used to load aggregate onto barges,” said Fraser, who toured the damage this week. “It’s one of their most expensive machines.” Block says he’s just moving past the damage, thankful no one was injured and the arson didn’t cause a forest ¿re. Perhaps it’s fueled a different kind of ¿re, though. “It (the contaminated soil issue) has continued to escalate, and of course with the vandalism and arson at the
site, it raises the temperature for everybody,” Fraser said. “It’s time to take a time-out here, cool down and not rush this. “If (the ministry) makes a decision in a hurry, quite likely it will be the wrong one. It’s much better to take the time, let temperatures cool a bit and let people have a thorough opportunity for consultation, without feeling under the gun.” He also defended the CVRD’s involvement in the debate. “(SIA) chose to go the open house route, and that was probably not adequate given the degree of public interest,” he said. “The problem with an open house is
that people ask serious questions but they’re the only ones who hear the answers. “There needs to be a really thorough public hearing where everyone hears what’s said.” And he felt the CVRD can ensure this process happens. “As a public of¿cial, you’re responsible for fair, due process — not jumping to conclusions but being careful to hear all sides and make sure the public has an opportunity to speak.” The contaminated soils sub-committee’s recommendations go to the CVRD board during the next regular meeting on June 13.

CAC’s Tom Andrews explained his group backed using Waterwheel’s lot to support Willow Street revitalization, and to develop a town square. “Buses can still park in front of the museum,” he said, “and there’s additional parking on public property that can be paved and marked behind the ¿re hall. “Overall net loss was something like eight parking spots.” Library costs and drawing were unavailable for the new 5,500square-foot, single-Àoor facility replacing the current 1,200square-foot library, Lefebure said. The ¿re-hall site, he and Andrews noted, could be a community centre housing Festival of Murals’ of¿ces, Neighbourhood House, visitor infocentre, plus secondand third-Àoor subsidized housing and condos.

Transport Canada considers the barge owner responsible.” But Glover also noted that while the province and Transport Canada have explored disposal options, she says traditional disposal options “are not feasible at this time.”

Man arrested after failed Shawnigan ATV getaway
Krista Siefken
News Leader Pictorial
A
Shawnigan Lake ATVer was arrested and is now facing criminal charges after an alleged Àight from police on Friday night. Shawnigan Lake RCMP Sgt. Rob Webb says Mounties were responding to a report of gunshots in the area of Renfrew Road and Isabelle Place at about 9:30 p.m. “This is a rural area well-known to local police for complaints about
the careless use of ¿rearms,” Webb said. “As members were patrolling the area attempting to locate the source of the shots, they observed an allterrain vehicle with two males on it approaching from a side road.” That’s when, police say, the ATV turned around and headed back in the direction it came from. “The ATV failed to stop when the police emergency equipment was activated, and attempted to evade police along the side gravel road for approximately one kilometre before pulling over.”
FAITH
A 26-year-old male driver and his 31-year-old male passenger were arrested. Police also seized the ATV, a shotgun with four rounds of ammunition, and multiple cans of beer. The ATV driver is facing charges of Àight from police under the Criminal Code of Canada as well as offences under the Motor Vehicle Act. He was also handed a 24-hour driving prohibition, and police say investigation into the possession of use of the ¿rearm is ongoing. The passenger was released without charges.

Young ATV riders injured in crash A 15-year-old girl and her nine-year-old brother were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries after their ATV flipped into a ditch in Shawnigan Lake. Police say the girl was driving the all-terrain vehicle on Owl Road on Monday afternoon when she lost control and flipped the ATV. It pinned her and her younger brother, who was a passenger, underneath. “They were able to push the four-wheel vehicle off themselves, and a local citizen called 911,” Shawnigan Lake RCMP Sgt. Rob Webb said. Police along with the Shawnigan Lake Fire Department volunteers and B.C. Ambulance paramedics were on scene at about 3:30 p.m. “The youths were both transported to Cowichan District Hospital with non-life threatening injuries,” Webb said. “The male passenger was wearing a helmet, the female driver was not.” Police say they’re continuing to investigate the crash.

worried. Trustees voted last month to raise rent to $650 a month per classroom for daycares when their current contracts expire. That’s up from $540 a month. Trustees who voted in favour of the increase argued the district charges far less than others in the province, and should not be subsidizing forpro¿t operations. But some of Cowichan’s daycares are non-pro¿ts. “We regret that there was no consultation or discussion with the organizations that rent classrooms in the various schools or the administration in these schools,” wrote Ian McFarland, president of the nonpro¿t Parkside Academy Society, in a letter to the district May 26. “Second, we feel strongly that this increase of more than 20 per cent is excessive.” McFarland said an increase in rental fees will mean an increase in childcare fees for already struggling parents. “The impending increase in rental rates is yet one more nail in the cof¿n of affordable childcare in our community and we ¿nd this to be unacceptable,” he wrote. “If the school district is already making a pro¿t on rental fees then this classroom rental fee increase is patently unfair and is being made on the backs of the children of the Cowichan Valley and their parents.” In response, at the June 6 board meeting Trustee Ryan Bruce moved to set the rent back to $540 a month for non-pro¿t daycare operations. “I feel when we made the decision last meeting to increase rental rates

Parkside Academy youngsters Layla Stephens and Jaxson Jones paint at the non-proÄt daycare that is speaking out against an impending rent increase. we didn’t have all the information,” he said. “Now that we have the information (we know) there are non-pro¿ts in our district that rent rooms from us.” A report detailing which daycare providers are non-pro¿ts is expected at the June 20 meeting. A decision on the rental-increase reconsideration is also expected then. “There were strong arguments made that we didn’t want to subsidize for-business pro¿ts, and I can understand those arguments,” Bruce added. “But now that we’ve learned there are not-for-pro¿ts operating within our schools to help foster and
develop early childhood education — which bene¿ts us — I would encourage (trustees) to support the motion to move the rate back to $540 per month.” Other trustees noted that the district used to charge about $800 per month until 2004. Rent costs cover everything from custodial services and supplies to electricity and heat. “I phoned around to other districts to get costs and what they charge,” added Trustee Duncan Brown. “They make no differentiation between for-pro¿t and not-for-pro¿t in their (rates).”

Instead of shipping that greasy garbage to a U.S. land¿ll — and generating methane, a potent greenhouse gas — collected kitchen organics are transformed into compost at Nanaimo’s ICC Group Duke Point composting facility.

Perfection in justice a hard thing to Änd Sam sentence: Doesn’t sit well, neither do alternatives
S
o where is the line between punishment, compassion and justice? And is any system capable of actually drawing it to everyone’s satisfaction? We ask this in the wake of the recent sentencing of Raymond Sam. Late last month Sam was sentenced in the 2009 crash that claimed the life of 47-year-old Sahtlam resident Linda Emrick. Sam, an alcoholic, was drunk — three-and-one-half times the legal limit — when he was behind the wheel of the vehicle Emrick’s motorcycle slammed into that tragic day. For that act, he was sentenced to two years less a day in jail, and handed a The right line three-year probation order, as well as a is so dif¿cult ¿ve-year driving ban. The sentence was met with anger to draw outside the courtroom by Emrick’s family. That anger echoed from a number of News Leader Pictorial readers who responded to our coverage with letters and online comments. And it is evident in the results on our web poll on the opposite page, where nearly 90 per cent said they do not think the sentence was suitable. It’s hard to dispute that Sam’s life story is a sad one, that his alcoholism is a disease that has made it exceedingly dif¿cult for him to make responsible decisions, or that he will live with the guilt and shame of this action for the rest of his life. It is harder to dispute Emrick’s circle of friends and family has had something immensely precious ripped from them, leaving a hole this sentence will never come close to ¿lling. Was the Emrick family given the best opportunity to ¿nd closure? Was Sam given the best opportunity to achieve atonement? Did the punishment ¿t the crime? Was the right message sent? Was justice served? Our hearts cry no. But our brains struggle to ¿nd a better way.

T
wo things I really despise are cigarette litter and dog litter. For some strange reason people who litter with cigarette butts and doggy-doo bags don’t consider it littering when they eject a butt out onto the street or toss a doggy-doo bag behind a tree. Perhaps, in the case of smokers, they litter because there are no ashtrays nearby, or because they don’t want to foul the ashtray in their vehicle. Dog owners are likely litterers because there are no garbage cans nearby, or due to the inconvenience of carrying a bag of dog doo all the way home for the home trash can. I am cognizant it is tough to be a smoker these days with so many against the habit and righteous quitters now on the case as well. With the odds so stacked against smokers, and local governments doing their best to drive smokers from their streets, it would make sense
for smokers to clean up their act. As a smoker have you ever thought about where those butts are going when you throw them into the street? Mostly down the storm drains and into our beautiful, ¿sh-rich Cowichan River, that’s where. How about out on the highway, when you Àick your lit butt out the window for me to dodge while on my motorcycle behind you? Into the roadside brush, which just so happens to be tinder dry in summer. Dog owners are a different litter breed altogether. They often think that when out in the bush, it doesn’t matter if your dog poops in the woods; the other animals do it too and it probably fertilizes the ground being such a natural act. Wrong! According to a recent Vancouver Sun article, dog waste is not fertilizer; it’s full of bacteria, nitrogen and salts that don’t dissolve and can be very harmful to plants, aquatic life and humans. Dog feces can also carry pathogens, warns a
Last week’s attack by vandals on South Island Aggregate left little wiggle room for those who want to believe it wasn’t motivated by the contaminated soil dispute ongoing in the south end. On Friday this page defended the community’s right to feel concerned about SIA’s proposal. That does not include what amounts to acts of terrorism. May the vandals be caught and justice served.
COWICHAN LEADERS
Vancouver municipal advisory to dog owners. “As many of the trails and park areas are used as outdoor classrooms for children, it’s important to clean up after your pet.” Those symmetrical dead patches on a dog owner’s lawn are pretty good examples of the potency of dog droppings. The dog poop situation is so critical that a city in Spain made it mandatory for dog owners to register pets with a canine DNA database. Dog patrols then matched excrement found in the street or in parks to the DNA and ¿ned delinquent owners $400 plus lab work costs. Then there are those dog lovers who carefully scoop the poop into a compostable bag, then whip it off into the woods to hang like Christmas decorations from tree branches, or hide them in a slowly growing pile behind a tree. I guess the thought is, out of sight, out of mind and that, by the time the bag degrades, there will be nothing left to deal with.
Go ¿gure. We all know that deleterious substances, whether it be cigarette ¿lters or dog-doo in biodegradable bags, are bad for the environment. I suggest the offenders take charge of their waste before more bylaws and rules are forced upon them. I would like to thank all those diligent people who quietly pick up after their dogs and all those smokers who pocket their butts. Perhaps they can take the lead and encourage others to follow their example. Local authourities could help out too by providing places to butt out and special waste disposal containers for pet waste since feces are not even allowed in municipal waste receptacles.

Should plastic shopping bags be banned? “Yes. I worked at Thrifty’s when they stopped using plastic bags and the community was receptive. Every way to reduce waste is helpful because we need to think about hundreds of years down the road.”
“A plastic-bag ban is a really good idea because down the road it’ll reduce stress on our landfills.”

North Cowichan can work around overcrowded conditions
Creating employment could break the cycle
Dear editor During this time of austerity, ¿nancial restraint, economic downturn and public outcry, I am appalled North Cowichan council would even consider an expansion to the municipal hall for an estimated cost of $3 million. This is not realistic. The average homeowner living in the beautiful Cowichan Valley is faced with an additional $400 to $500 increase in taxes. I do not have to sell my house because of the increase, but I feel compassion for the residents who do. Where is your compassion? Have you ever had to tighten your belt? Is it really that important to have new digs in such desperate times? Why now? Is this really a good example of taxpayer dollars at work? This is sel¿sh. Spend the money, since you have it, on something that really is crucial to the health and safety of our valley during these desperate times. Fix the things that are broken. Give it back to the people who need it. Here are just a few suggestions I can think of to appease your over-crowdedness: a portable classroom for a year or two while we get over these tough times. Portables are very practical and get the job done for our school children. A few copiers in the halls is really not that big of a deal. There is plenty of room to bypass them in case of an emergency. Perhaps move the of¿ce equipment that clutters the downstairs halls, upstairs to your main entrance, where the public walks in and sees a row of empty desks. Going up and down the stairs is a good way to keep ¿t, get the job done and save $3 million. Use the council chambers for additional of¿ce space and rent space for your meetings if necessary. Please reconsider this terrible mistake. It’s not too late. Stephanie Panchuk
In my opinion: Creating job opportunities could address suicide crisis
C
owichan Tribes Chief Harvey Alphonse declared a state of emergency due to a rapid increase in suicide and attempted suicides. He is to be congratulated and commended for initiating action and concern. Chief Alphonse has often stated more initiatives must be undertaken to increase the employment opportunities for First Nations people.

B
y the way, did you hear: • Local Sikhs like Hazura Sangha, Surinder Pagely and Piara and Baljet Dhillon opened the doors to their faith community May 24 thanks to an event co-ordinated by the Cowichan Intercultural Society. It was the ¿nal presentation of ten monthly Inter-faith Bridging events funded by the provincial and federal governments. Co-ordinator Linda Hill said the event series exposed participants to the Bahai, Buddhist, Christian, Coast Salish Spirituality, Divine Feminine, Islam, Panthesim and other religions. • Judy Duncan was one of those on hand when Cowichan Dog Obedience Club president Dave Nisbet cut the cake to celebrate the club’s 60th anniversary April 14. The founding members of this volunteer non-pro¿t club were Sheilah Parry Roberts, Dr. D. Lott, Dr. E. Johnson, a veterinarian and Hunter Smith, an obedience judge from Victoria. Today the club offers a variety of classes for different levels of experience on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The club welcomes new members and their dogs. Call Leslie Gardiner at 250-7431858 for more. • Chemainus Visitor Centre co-ordinator Marlie Kelsey headed to Minnesota this week
on a unique and unusual adventure. She is one of 20 chosen to participate in a Bear Keeper Course at the North American Bear Center in Ely, MN. The mission of the non-pro¿t North American Bear Center is to advance the longterm survival of bears worldwide by replacing misconceptions with scienti¿c facts about bears, their role in ecosystems, and their relations with humans. • Koksilah Elementary School principal Kristi Clifton and school cook Adrianna Zavarelli were excited about a recent visit from Duncan Lions Club president Jim Woodward. Woodward donated $2,000 to the school on behalf of the Lions to support the school’s meals program. • Malcolm Taylor, 5, of Cobble Hill, Braydon Luscombe, 19, and Cody Smith, 21, of Duncan, all took part in The War Amps 2012 B.C. Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Victoria, which covered all aspects of growing up as an amputee. The older boys served as junior counsellors. Malcolm demonstrated his monkey bar, swim and bike devices. Exciting things happening for you, your friends or your family that you want to share with your community?

Adage Studios invites performing arts fans to step through the looking glass
ON STAGE
The Adage Studio year-end show is more than just a gathering. It’s an artistic tea party of madcap proportions. The Duncan performing arts studio invites the community to the Cowichan Theatre Saturday for a journey into Wonderland. Kids as young as three will join forces with adult performers and every age group in between to
sing and dance their way through the world of the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit and Alice. Choreographers Olivia Boudreau, Aymie Moffatt, Megan Kubica, Brooke Kilgore and Candace Ammerman have their charges (including Sydney Derkson, Haele Ferguson and Kelly Grounds, left) ready for a variety of scenes, including a tea party scene where the girls dance on a 16-foot table.
The studio is asking spectators to bring their pennies to support the Cowichan Valley Performing Arts Foundation. Members will be in the lobby collecting pennies for the Pennies for Performers campaign and selling raffle tickets to help the cause. Adage is staging two shows, one at 1 p.m., the other at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $16, $12.50 for students, $10 for children. Call 250-748-7529.

That’s where a trio of local artists are hosting their third show in the past 18 months, with a new twist, next weekend. “This year we wanted to connect with a charity or a non-pro¿t, to start supporting something with our shows,” explained Brandi Keddell, who works with glass. And Cowichan’s Community Options Society was a perfect ¿t
because tight funding means the local youth-focused non-pro¿t has recently been forced to lay staff off, adding to already overburdened youth counselling waitlists. So Keddell, plus painter Bernadette McCormack and clay artist Susan Whitham, decided to double their show as a fundraiser for COS. Partial proceeds from the show will be handed over to the non-pro¿t. “For our Friday Night Happening, which is our opening night, we’re going to have an open mike for youth, so we’ll have live music throughout the night,” Keddell added. “They’ll be playing from 6 to 9 o’clock on the Friday night, and that’s
something we added this year to make it inclusive and very youth-focused, because we have so many talented youth here.” Your ticket What: Artists in Support of our Youth, with Bernadette McCormack, Brandi Keddell and Susan Whitham When: June 22, 23 and 24; Friday Night Happening from 6 to 9 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Where: Hummingbird Studio, 801 Wharncliffe Road, Duncan (wheelchair accessible) Tickets: Free.

DEATHS
DEATHS BARNES, Olga Marjorie April 1, 1926 – June 9, 2012 Our wonderful Mom, Grandma, friend and inspiration to so many, passed away peacefully with dignity and grace in Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, surrounded by her loving family.
“Ollieâ€?, as she was known to everyone, may have come in a small package, but she had a huge impact on the lives of everyone who knew her and her indomitable spirit. Ollie proved that the true measure of any life, is not marked in monuments or awards, but by the love that was created by her throughout her life. Born and raised in Leeds, England. Olga grew up during the war, she became the beautiful, petite young woman who caught the eye of the tall, handsome Canadian soldier named Ken Barnes, who asked her to marry him just days after they ďŹ rst met. It was to be the start of a marriage and lifelong love affair that lasted over 62 wonderful, event ďŹ lled years. As a war bride emigrating to Canada she joined Dad and started out married life in a log cabin deep in the Turtle Mountain forest in Manitoba without electricity or running water, this city girl handled it all with her great spirit and energy. As all those who knew and loved her knew, Olga might have been tiny, but she was a giant in ability and adventurous spirit. Olga and Ken moved to the B.C. coast where they ďŹ nally settled into the Duncan area with their four children, Tim, Ken, Roswynne and Mitchell. As a mom, Olga was amazing. Every one of her children had unconditional love, support and encouragement, not just as children, but throughout their lives. When grandchildren came along, that love just grew. That love also extended beyond her family and many children of friends knew her as “Auntie Ollieâ€?. The many people that were Ollie’s friends loved her keen mind, her sense of fun and her open heart. Olga was a hostess without equal and she was never happier than when the house was full of friends and family celebrating together. Olga was also an incredibly talented and artistic woman who became a wonderful Costume Designer and creator. She successfully opened a costume shop from which lucky people could rent her incredible creations which were consistent prize winners. For eighty-six years, Ollie gave without stinting, loved without restriction, and laughed without restraint. Mum is survived by three of her children Tim (Donna), Roswynne (Ron), Mitchell (Joanne); Grandchildren Sarah, Landis, Joshua, Ben and Tanya, and by her siblings Terry, Frank, Helen, Valerie and Susan. Oh Mum, we will miss you every single day, we all loved you so. But now it’s time for you and Dad to dance together again, so beautifully, so gracefully, forever. A celebration of life will be held at Sands Funeral Chapel, 187 Trunk Road in Duncan on Saturday, June 16, 2012 at 1:00 pm. Following the service a reception will be held in the Arbor Reception Centre at Sands. In lieu of owers a memorial donation may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Condolences may be shared online at www.sandsfuneral. com SANDS of DUNCAN 250-746-5212

hawnigan Lake School’s senior-soccer girls personi¿ed the old saying about playing the game being more important than winning during their provincial championship debut last week in Kamloops. While winning three of its ¿ve games, Stags’ coach Mits Nakagawa’s 18-member team scored the trying tournament’s Fair-Play Award. “You have to really play well and compete to win that award. “It means every game was competed in good spirit — it’s a recognition from referees and organizers that they enjoyed our team on and off the ¿eld. “We ¿nished ninth overall out of 16 teams,” he said of his Grade 11 and 12 team that logged ¿ve games in three days between May 31 and June 3. “We won three out of ¿ve games. We had some injuries going in, but we managed.” SLS’s ¿rst three games were part of a round robin. “We won the ¿rst game against Crofton House 2-1, then lost to Burnsview (Delta) 2-0 — and they’re the two-time defending

Shawnigan Lake School’s senior-girls soccer Stags won three of their Äve matches at the provincials in Kamloops while earning the tourney’s coveted Fair-Play Award. provincial champions.” Game three against OkanaganMission saw Shawnigan shaded 2-1. “They won the group, beating Burnsview, so we ¿nished third in the round robin,” Nakagawa said. “All things considered it was a great result because we were seeded third in that (round robin) group. “If we’d have been drawn into any of the other four groups, we’d have had a very good chance to ¿nish second in the round robin.” But play wasn’t over. The Stags, under goalie Kat Doherty, headed to their next playoff
stream, winning both matches. First, it was 1-0 for Shawnigan against Caledonia (Terrace) “then we had the ¿nal game against Sands (Delta) and won 2-1.” He was delighted with the overall provincial results, but sorry to lose seven graduating Grade 12 players. “Every single one was a top example about how to be a role model to younger players.” Nakagawa high-¿ved Lizzie Yates and Erin Cornell, who each scored two provincial goals, while Brianne Zinkiew and Claire Ridgway notched singles.
“It was a very good year for girls’ soccer, though we didn’t really have a season because of the (B.C. teacher’s contract-protest) job action.” Nakagawa was also amped about Shawnigan building its soccer squads. “Our juniors had a very good year, winning a silver medal from the Independent School Association,” he said of coach Deb John’s team. “We have quite a few Grade 10s coming in, and some strong Grade 9s behind them, so for the next couple of years there’s some potential to develop a SLS-style player.”

Dad Bruce was a Cowichan Rugby Club speedster for many years and Randall possesses that same quickness, albeit at a different position for the Shawnigan Lake School provincial AAA champion team. “For a young man of his size, he’s quick so he’s a very dangerous ball-mover,’’ said Shawnigan coach Tim Murdy. “One of the things we’ve found is he’s very coachable and he wants to get better.’’ Barton has played all three spots in the front row but is most valuable at tight head prop.

Passion for sport marks Cow High’s top athletes “Sport means so much to me — it’s my life, essentially. I can’t see myself doing anything else.” Lauridsen, Chow and Cutt’s devotion to athletics was recognized Thursday evening during the 32nd CSS Athletic Banquet at Duncan’s Island Savings Centre. “I was super excited because I put a lot of time into my sport, so it’s not just the award I won,” says Lauridsen. “It’s all my hours at the gym and training, all put into one.” Lauridsen wrestles and plays rugby, and in Grade 10 was named Rookie of the Year for both sports. He also plays soccer — but rugby is his sport of choice. “That’s where I put most my time,” he says. In fact, he’s taking the next year off from post-secondary school to travel abroad in the hopes of playing rugby in places such as New Zealand and France. Rugby is also the sport of choice for Cutt. She hopes to make the Martlets at McGill University, where she’s heading in the fall. “I really like the physicality of the

There’s also something a little less de¿nable. “The way I look at it is it’s a privilege to play sports,” says Kieran Lauridsen, CSS’ Male Athlete of the Year. “I take advantage of it every minute I can.” Cameron Chow, the school’s Sportsperson of the Year, agreed. “It’s a privilege to play on any type of sport’s team,” he says. “All that hard work you put into it is rewarded — it’s amazing.” For these athletes, sport hasn’t just shaped who they are — it’s also an essential part of who they are. “It’s just so much of what I do,” Female Athlete of the Year Sophie Cutt says.

Valley boys play island Äeld Hockey quartet: Owen and Martin lead U18s while Murray and Edey do double duty Don Bodger

T
here’s no shortage of game and practise time for four keen valley boys’ ¿eld hockey players. Goalkeeper Toby Owen, Connor Martin, Liam Edey and Tiarnan Murray provided the Cowichan representation on an otherwise entirely Victoria team from the island that placed second in the Under 18 club championships. Edey and Murray did double duty as the only Cowichan players on a U16 Victoria team that claimed the bronze medal in its club championship tournament. All four have been spending enormous amounts of time travelling to Victoria to play and practise but the results of their efforts paid off. “We had a good team,’’ said Owen. “We’ve played together for a while so it’s a pretty strong core of guys. “We only had nine U18s and we called a few U16s up.’’ The tournament at UBC

Tiarnan Murray, left, and Liam Edey played both U16 and U18 Äeld hockey with island boys’ teams. “It was de¿nitely a lot more intense than I’m used to,’’ said Owen. “Some of the guys are on the national team and stuff.’’ The Grade 11 student at Frances Kelsey Secondary School is in his ¿fth season of ¿eld hockey. “I used to play soccer,’’ he said. “When that ended, I just played ¿eld hockey during the spring.’’ He doesn’t mind the pressure of being a goalkeeper and is learning how to improve his game. “Since I’ve been going down to Victoria, I’ve had great coaching and stuff,’’ he said. “My skills have de¿nitely gotten better.’’
began for the team with a 3-2 loss to United Brothers of Surrey and then a scoreless game against the Falcons. The team made it through to the playoff round on goal differential. Next up was the India Club of Surrey in the semi¿nals and then Owen backstopped his team to a shootout victory after the regulation game ended in a 1-1 tie. The ¿nal against United Brothers was scoreless and also went to a shootout. United Brothers came out on top. Besides practising in Victoria, Owen also plays with the Victoria Selects in the men’s Premier League.
Owen is now the goalkeeper for the provincial U18 team, although there’s no national championship this summer. Instead, he’ll be taking part in the Canada Cup in Vancouver July 14 to 16 after numerous training sessions leading up to it. Murray went right from the U18 tournament into the U16s at UVic. “I think we could have got a better place with a bit more practice,’’ he said. It was a bit of a younger team this year, Murray added. He’s one of the few holdovers from last year. The ¿rst game for the island U16s ended in a 2-2 tie with the India Club followed by a 5-0 win over the Hawks and a 1-0 victory over the Saints. The semi¿nal was tough and the team went down to an 8-0 defeat against United Brothers before bouncing back to take the bronze medal with a 3-2 win over the Falcons. Murray scored four goals and added a bunch of assists in the tournament. This is also Murray’s ¿fth year of ¿eld hockey.

The Matrix earned their semi-¿nal berth with a 19-13 win over Wild¿re Sunday. Christine Cronin-Switzer had two touchdowns for the winners, while Keri McKelvie had one for Wild¿re. The Law got in despite dropping its qualifying match 34-12 to the Ravens, due to a Ravens disquali¿cation.
The Crew is already in the ¿nal after a 65-0 beatdown of the Sirens, courtesy of Alita Mattin’s four TDs and two each from Heidi Padjen and Marilou Sullivan. They await either the Law or the Matrix in the championship game Saturday at noon. Earlier, the Matrix upended the Ravens 19-12 Friday on the strength of Tara McCaffery’s 60 yard run for the winning touchdown. Kerri Hewitt also had a TD for the winners, while Pam Hadkin and Dana Thorne both got into the endzone for the Ravens. Also Friday, the Wild¿re beat the Sirens 25-13, with Sue Glenn (2), Val Chambers and Dieneke Pedersen scoring touchdowns.

Forty years later and the wins keep coming Youbou resident Jerry Melissa’s connection to the Ladysmith Horseshoe Club goes way back. Melissa is the only original member of the club from 40 years ago who is still playing competitive horseshoes. He returned to the club to help mark its 40th season in the present location at Transfer Beach. Melissa flashed his familiar form by winning both the men’s
and mixed tournaments. His first introduction to horseshoe competition came in 1972 and he even won a tournament or two during that inaugural year. Melissa, a four-time provincial champion, still loves playing and promoting the sport as much as ever.

t’s another stellar year for the annual Garriock Track Meet at the Cowichan Sportsplex, where a record number of 430 athletes competed this past weekend. The mammoth meet also doubled as a quali¿er for the B.C. Summer Games, with 111 Grade 8 and 9 athletes trying out for the Zone 6 team. Likely making the Summer Games’ cut are Cowichan’s Chicago Bains and Taryn Smiley. Bains took ¿rst place in both the 14-15 Girls’ 80- and 200-metre hurdles, with times of 12.27 and 28.42 seconds respectively. Smiley, meanwhile, took ¿rsts in the 1415 Girls’ 100-metre and 200-metre dashes (with 12.58- and 25.99-second times), and another ¿rst in the the 14-15 Girls’ long-jump for her 4.55-metre leap. Pat Kehler, of the meet’s host CVACJaguars Track and Field Club, says nothing is of¿cial yet, but Summer Games’ hopefuls should expect the placement announcements soon.

She was thrilled with the annual Garriock meet. “It was a great meet,” she said. “We had good weather, good attendance. We were all really happy. We’re probably the bestattended track meet on the island.” “Ours is just such a well-attended meet,” agreed Wendy Palou. “Everyone on the island looks forward to it. We’ve got great volunteers and it runs really well.” The weather, while mild and perfect for competing athletes, did present a bit of a problem. “We had a 35-year-old break the Canadian 100-metre record, but because the wind was so strong we can’t include it,” explained the CVAC club’s Wendy Palou. That was Victoria’s Paci¿c Athletic’s Jeannette Van Den Bulk, with her 13:14 time in the 35-39 Women’s race. The meet’s other record-breaker was Cobble Hill’s Peter Holmes, who set a record in the 50-54 Men’s 3000-Metre Steeplechase Hurdles 36” with a time of 11:57:9h. “Everything went well,” summed Palou, “and we had some really strong athletes come out.”
