Making a Vital contribution Unheralded heroes: gaining skills and more independence while helping Cowichan programs Krista Siefken

he woods are quiet and peaceful, but there are signs of disregard, and disrespect. A coffee pot hangs from a tree. A computer monitor sits abandoned, riddled with bullet holes. Drywall has been tossed around like confetti and children’s toys lay scattered, never to be played with again. Until, through the trees, come a band of unheralded heroes. They pull up in a large, green work truck, equipped with plenty of heavy-duty gloves, boots and shovels. Four men, ready to work. “These guys are able to do a lot more than go to music and gym,” says Neil McDonald. But when he started the Vital Wood program close to 20 years ago, those were the only options available to the developmentally disabled men McDonald works with. “We started taking the guys out and cutting wood, instead.

Doc shortage closing clinic Silverfern: Cowichan’s ﬁrst walk-in clinic shutting says founder Faulkner Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

owichan’s ¿rst walk-in clinic is closing by July’s end due to a doctor shortage, says founder Dr. Stephen Faulkner. Shutting of downtown Duncan’s 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.” That worry was shared by city Mayor Phil Kent who said he’d raise Faulkner’s issues about the closure during last night’s meeting of the Cowichan Community Health Network. “The health network could be part of determining barriers for doctors to working in walk-in clinics,” said Kent, who’s used Silverfern himself.

“The clinics are really a necessary service that takes a load off the ER.” Dr. Len Roy, a Duncan practitioner and Cowichan District Hospital’s top doc, agreed. “It’s certainly an issue for the community,” he said, backing Faulkner’s idea patients will turn to CDH’s ER department, or the Beverly, and Valleyview medical clinics. Faulkner, 57, noted Jubilee Street’s Silverfern — which is also a family practice — is considered the go-to clinic. Roy recognized Faulkner’s physician shortage at Silverfern after two docs recently moved elsewhere. “I canvased other doctors to see if any could work at Silverfern,” said Roy. “We’re short a few physicians in the community at the moment.” He calculated about four doctors could take patients and relieve Cowichan’s “exhausted” physicians. “The majority of family

Folks with DFP were unavailable for comment by

press time. Faulkner — forced to lay off four Silverfern staffers next month — was dismayed the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons isn’t promoting walk-in practices. “We’ll feel the bite in the fall when we get really busy with colds and coughs.” Meanwhile, Roy saw a silver lining in Silverfern’s looming demise. “With Silverfern closing, there could be more support for an urgent-care clinic here,” he said of the proposed clinics to help injured and seriously ill folks.

Cowichan dives in to summer games bid $95,000 commitment: Directors also approve spending $5,000 for the bid despite the fact they are still waiting for crucial school district support Krista Siefken

News Leader Pictorial

he Cowichan Valley Regional District is moving forward with its bid to host the 2016 or 2018 B.C. Summer Games. Directors committed Wednesday to spending $45,000 cash, plus $50,000 of in-kind services, if the Games are awarded to Cowichan, as well as using up to $5,000 in the 2012 budget for the bid package. But there’s a potential wrinkle in the plan. School District 79 has yet to con¿rm its support of the bid — and CVRD Chairman Rob Hutchins has explicitly stated that without school support, there’s no point in proceeding with the plan. He explained to school trustees during their June 6 meeting that school facilities are required to house the

thousands of athletes and coaches, and school buses are needed to transport the visitors. Any costs to the district are covered by the B.C. Games Society, although in the past during events like the B.C. Seniors’ Games and the North American Indigenous Games, employees such as custodians and bus drivers volunteered time to clean schools or transport athletes. Trustees were wary of committing their support without ¿rst consulting staff and deferred a decision until their June 20 board meeting. But Hutchins, as well CVRD parks, recreation and culture manager Ron Austen, are con¿dent they’ll secure the support they need. “They just needed some time,” Austen said, adding that if, for one reason or another, trustees don’t lend their support, CVRD staff would come back with a contingency plan.

Meanwhile, CVRD directors are excited about the opportunity to possibly host another massive athletic event. “One of the things we made sure we did in the 2005 B.C. Seniors’ Games is we looked at it as an opportunity to showcase Cowichan and all the various aspects of Cowichan,” Director Gerry Giles said. Community feedback solicited about the games has been almost entirely positive. B.C. Games Society event manager Chris Trenholme said the society provides an operating budget of $600,000, and between that cash and the $45,000 the host community pitches in, there’s typically a pool of between $75,000 and $197,000 leftover for a legacy project in the community. Trenholme also noted the economic impact for the 2008 Kelowna games was $2.6 million, while 2002 in Nanaimo generated $2.1 million.

A landmark year on several fronts

SPOTLIGHT

2012 is a big year for south Cowichan history buffs. Four local landmarks are celebrating signiﬁcant birthdays this year, says Brenda Krug, Cobble Hill Historical Society president. • St. John’s Anglican Church turns 125. • St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church is 125 and the oldest building in Mill Bay.

• The Cobble Hill Post Ofﬁce celebrates 125 years. • The Bamberton cement plant started up a century ago on the current site when it moved from Tod Inlet, the site of Butchart Gardens. There are no plans to celebrate a general Cobble Hill anniversary, as there is no ofﬁcial birth date for the littlesSouth Cowichan community, Krug said.

A landmark year for a Cobble Hill landmark A generation past a century: St. John’s South Cowichan church celebrates 125 years Ann Andersen

o pass the century mark is an achievement. To reach 125 years is a gift. South Cowichan’s St. John’s Anglican Church celebrates its 125th birthday this year and is commemorating the landmark with an anniversary gala held earlier in June and an Ole Tyme Country Fair June 23. On June 24, Bishop of B.C. James Cowan will preach the sermon and lead the congregation in thanksgiving for the parish during an invitation-only anniversary service. “June 24 is the feast of St. John the Baptist on the Christian calendar, and we thought it would be ¿tting to hold the celebration on that day,” explained Rev. Scott Pittendrigh, St. John’s rector for the past 14 years. “During that service, we’ll visit each part of the church in prayer, remember the church community’s benefactors and those who gave their lives for our country,” Pittendrigh said. “I feel extremely honoured to be part of this milestone in parish history. “We’re celebrating the past and the present, and we’re looking forward to the next 125 years,” Pittendrigh added. “This is a vibrant church community.” And the church remains a gem in this 10-acre, unspoiled forested corner of South Cowichan. For 120 families it’s a chosen place to worship, and the church community grew recently when it embraced families from Cowichan Station’s St. Andrew’s that closed last year. Another legacy from St. Andrew’s is the altar, which now has a home in St. John’s in front of the pews that stretch the width of the pretty country church. During the early years of European settlement the Cowichan Missionary Society ministered to an area that began north and west of Victoria and included the east and west sides of Shawnigan Lake and the east coast of Vancouver Island as far north as Chemainus. In 1887, the new parish of St. John the Baptist, Cobble Hill and All Saints, Shawnigan Lake was established. It stretched from the island’s east coast to the west side of Shawnigan Lake and from Cousins Hill in the south to Bench Road in the north.

Andrew Leong

Shirley Hardy, organizer of the upcoming Old Tyme Fair and Rector Scott Pittendrigh of The Anglican Church of St. John The Baptist South Cowichan are preparing for the church’s 125th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, June 23. Early Cobble Hill area pioneer John Nightingale was the motivating force behind building the church. A carpenter by trade, he donated the land, hauled the lumber from the sawmill by ox team and helped erect the building. After the church was dedicated for worship in 1889, Nightingale served as lay reader for 20 years. He, wife Ruth and their family now lie in the church graveyard. “As there was no resident priest the parish went through some hard times,” explains St. John’s parishioner Pip Woodcock. Closed for a while, the church reopened when Rev. W. J. Crewe arrived as ¿rst resident minister in 1921. After the roof caved in under a snowfall — and an infestation of carpenter ants — in 1937, the building was replaced, then expanded about 50 years later. “The signi¿cant memorial of the 125th anniver-

sary is a Yamaha grand piano for the church,” says parishioner Shirley Hardy, one of the anniversary organizers. Everyone’s welcome at the June fair that will reÀect the church’s history, says nine-year parishioner and co-organizer Woodcock. “It’s intended as a thank-you to the community and as a reminder that we’re here,” she adds. “The church is part of the growth of Cobble Hill from its very early days.” “’Mr. and Mrs. Nightingale’ will be there strolling the grounds,” Woodcock says with a smile. And parishioner Most Rev. Andrew Hutchison, retired primate of the Anglican Church in Canada, will be in pioneer costume, as will Pittendrigh. “Visitors are encouraged to wear fancy dress,” she adds. Organizers have planned a day that includes 10-cent ice-creams, old-time games, wandering

Bylaw 3480, “Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw, 2012,” proposes to amend Bylaw 3450, “Official Community Plan Bylaw 2011, by: a) replacing Map 9 (Industrial and Commercial), Map 12 (Managing Growth), and Map 17 (Land Use) to reflect the shift of the urban containment boundary westward to the east side of the Trans Canada Highway as noted on the map to the right, (approximately between Morton Way and Norcross Road); and b) redesignating approximately 4144.4 square metres of the west portion of 6562 Bell McKinnon Road outlined in bold on the map below, from Rural to Highway Service Commercial.

aanich police crash analysts are looking for a witness to come forward to aid their ongoing external review of a North Cowichan/Duncan RCMPinvolved car crash. Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen said multiple witness accounts have placed either a black Jeep or SUV at the scene of the crash when it happened, but of¿cers have not spoken to the occupants of that vehicle. “We have witnesses for just before and just after the crash. We don’t have a witness to the collision other than the two drivers (who were involved),” he said. The crash happened around 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 3, when a woman made a left turn from the northbound lane of the Trans-Canada Highway at Miller Road. Her car collided with the southbound marked police vehicle. Police believe the black Jeep or SUV was in the left-turn lane behind the

An RCMP policy relating to police-involved incidents that result in injury or death requires an external investigation be conducted by an outside police department. The woman in the incident was injured. Jantzen said detectives have conducted a number of interviews, and are currently waiting to analyze data from the police cruiser’s engine control module (the onboard

computer). Police are asking the driver or occupants of that vehicle to call investigators at 250-475-4321. Meanwhile, Mainroad Contracting was advising the public about a 15-minute partial closure of the highway after press time last night, to allow for further police investigation. Mainroad stated all southbound lanes, the northbound fast lane and the turning lane on Trans-Canada Highway at Miller Road would be affected between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m.

2. Bylaw 3481, “Zoning Amendment Bylaw (No. 4 – Bell McKinnon Road), 2012,” proposes to amend Bylaw 2950, "Zoning Bylaw 1997," by reclassifying approximately 4144.4 square metres of the west portion of 6562 Bell McKinnon Road (legally described as Lot 3, Section 5, Range 5, Somenos District, Plan 4113, portion shown on PL R1079, except Plan 7634 and 3572 RW [PID 000-507-547; Folio 7360-000], shown as “Portion of Subject Property to be rezoned” and outlined in bold on the map below, from Residential Rural (R1) Zone to Commercial Service (C3) Zone. If approved, the applicant proposes to subdivide this portion of the property from the remainder, and consolidate it with 6529 Trans Canada Highway (Metro Toyota), and will be required to register a covenant on the property restricting the uses to the following: Tourist Accommodation, Restaurant, Motor Vehicle Sales and Rentals, Service Station, Entertainment Use, and Automotive Repair Shop.

If you believe your interests are affected by the proposed bylaws, you may express your views to Council at the public hearing.

Emily Carr monument gets ofÄcial support but no municipal cash yet North Cowichan: ofﬁcials still digesting public response to proposed location near waterwheel Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

hemainus’ mural pioneer Karl Schutz has no time for negative thinkers. With dead frontage in Mural Town again, Schutz aims to raise some $300,000 for a giant downtown monument to the island’s iconic painter Emily Carr, as part of Chemainus’ Carrtheme tourism push, despite some pushback from area residents. “We hope this is the sparkplug for the next revitalization,” he told the News Leader Pictorial. “There was twice as much dead (commercial) frontage here in 1980.” That’s when Schutz, North Cowichan council and other visionaries launched the town’s now-world famous heritage mural project that’s a boon to the seaside community. Now Schutz wants $75,000 to $100,000 in seed money, from the Festival of Murals Society and council, to see the 50-foot Carr monument built by scupltor Charles Johnston . “No, he won’t get $75,000 but might get some funding from us in the future,” said FOM president, Tom Andrews. “We’ll wait and see what Karl might need, and what stage he’s at when he requests funding from us.” Still, the FOM supports Schutz’s monument vision and drive in principle. Andrews made that assurance after a recent letter to Schutz stating the FOM board has dropped involvement in the Emily Carr Monument

Artist’s concept of what the proposed, 3-D Emily Carr Monument might look like in the Waterwheel parking lot. project, passing a resolution disbanding the project sub-committee, and killing FOM’s agreement to work on the project. Pulling the plug with Schutz came from what Andrews called a difference in management styles. “Karl wanted more freedom to manage the project, and we said ‘OK, it’s better you manage it on your own.’ “We don’t want to hold him back and cause it to be delayed.” That was good news to Schutz. “I call that my 82nd birthday present. I hate committees. “From day-one this project was too big for the FOM alone. My fear is getting hung up on nitpicking.” But he’s also asked council for monument money to twin some $50,000 in “in-kind” support from locals. “We’re waiting for council’s response.” “We don’t have an exact number,” Mayor Jon Lefebure said of Schutz’s

request for upward of $100,000. “Council supports the monument in principle. The idea was anything we could give him would be helpful.” Councillors are still digesting results from Schutz’s public May 31 project meeting. “There was only about 25 per cent negative responses,” Schutz said. Chemainiac Mark Kiemele had different ¿gures and monument opinions. “About the only word I can come up with for this thing is “incubus” — a cause of distress or anxiety,” he wrote the Leader. “There was much of that at a well-attended public meeting at the Chemainus Legion. About half the crowd of 50, said they ‘liked’ the proposed sculpture. The rest of us didn’t. ‘Ugly,’ said one woman. ‘Out of place,’ said an artist about the Disneyesque ¿gure.” Replied Schutz: “Art (beauty) is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has the right to their opinion, but some don’t understand what this will do for our economy.” “Just because you have an idea,” Kiemele says, “doesn’t mean you have to do anything with it.” He hopes council nixes “this harebrained scheme.” Schutz advised naysayers to “get off their (butts), pick up a shovel, ¿nd some money and do a project for the community.” Council is mulling meeting numbers. “Council must decide if they have enough information to decide on the appropriate site, and if there’s desire to put public funds into the project,” said Lefebure. Schutz is eying a site on Waterwheel parking lot’s south side. “It would be quite an impressive monument set in the backdrop of tall trees from the right perspective,” said Lefebure.

Focused action and community buy-in needed Chemainus: time to take control of Carr project

f you go to cowichannewsleader.com you’ll see a spirited defence by mural guru Karl Schutz for his latest proposal posted below a story that also appears on page nine of today’s paper. The proposal, for a 50-foot monument resembling a totem pole and celebrating the work of Emily Carr, is being bashed in some circles as being at best inappropriate for Chemainus. At worst, it’s being called ugly. Schutz’s response should be familiar to anyone who has followed the bulldog promoter during the past 30 years. He throws down the gauntlet, comparing the naysayers to the French who bashed the Eiffel Tower in the days leadMore leading to its construction and challenging ership and them to step up and do something for the community themselves. connection However, neither the ignorance of the needed French in the late 19th-century, nor the lack of initiative of certain commentors, are really at issue here. What is at issue is the Carr monument itself, the town’s general push to adopt Emily Carr as a mascot, and the need to reverse a trend of vacant storefronts in what has traditionally been one of Cowichan’s best tourism success stories. For the record, we aren’t big fans of the monument, which seems more kitsch than class. We are concerned the adoption of the Carr concept has failed to gain traction in the public consciousness. And we worry the Festival of Murals and North Cowichan council are not taking the necessary leadership role, feeding a disconnect between the visionaries, the community and the powers-that-be. The question facing Chemainiacs is “what are you going to do about all of the above?” The deÀective arguments of Schutz notwithstanding, he is absolutely right that now is the time for action. But it is crucial that action be focused and effective with signi¿cant community buy-in. Talk from the sidelines is not going to cut it.

Seeing both sides of: politicians not returning calls The case against

The case for The grumblers like to say politicians are self-interested slackers with no time for the people who elected them. The truth is far different. Most local politicians are extremely busy, juggling several projects, hopping from meeting to meeting and appearance to appearance. If they can’t return a reporter’s call, it’s because they were simply up to their ears in doing their job.

Duncan Mayor Phil Kent is one local politician who typically promptly returns calls.

Musings about my baby Änding his muse Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

t’s weird to think the tunes my baby Jack loves most were created during times when long-haired, free-spirited men and women tripped on acid and jammed while toking up. Forget Raf¿, Charlotte Diamond and the Sesame Street. Jack prefers Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty. I watch his emotions ebb and Àow through my iPod playlist. Sometimes he cries, other times he looks puzzled, most times, if I get it just right, he’s out like a light. Why do babies like some music and not others? It’s not like they know the latest crazes, that Justin Bieber’s hot stuff (I’m sorry but I will never introduce his songs to my guy), and that the latest kick for the young is indie music. “Hey man did you hear Arcade Fire’s latest song?,” says hipster Jack to the baby in the

stroller next to him, while sporting cut-off jeans, a Àannel shirt and Win Butler’s haircut. Who am I kidding? Jack didn’t dig Arcade Fire’s Rococo and I just about disowned him. To all those disgusted moms out there, I’m only kidding. I may dress Jack — who’s ¿ve months old — like a cool hipster tot, but there’s no way he knows the “in” music. And there’s no way I can push my favourites on him either. What I have discovered, however, is he seems to enjoy music I listened to a lot while I was pregnant. I had a Àing with Pink Floyd’s album Dark Side of the Moon when I was about seven months along. I just picture Jack in the womb spacing out and Àailing to Time. I put that song on now while we’re cruising and crying turns to grooving. So what’s the thinking behind music and babies? Scientists have tried introducing music,

The grumblers would not be surprised to hear that a large number of politicians who talk about the need for better communication often fail to return phone calls. There is a signiﬁcant number of elected ofﬁcials who understand the media is the best route to reach the public; they routinely call us back immediately. Why they can, and others can’t, is hard to explain.

mostly classical, to infants three weeks before they’re born. They discovered babies’ heart rates slowed when familiar melodies were heard. An unfamiliar song had much less of an effect. One of my friends enrolled her son in music classes when he was close to Jack’s age. At ¿rst I thought it was too young, but now I wonder if it’s genius. During one of my daily Google searches, I found an article by Dr. Diane Bales who strongly suggests exposing tots to all kinds of songs, singing to your baby no matter how off-pitch you are. Start music lessons early, and encourage your child’s school or place of daycare to teach music. “Music has a powerful effect on our emotions,” says Bales. “Parents know that a quiet, gentle lullaby can soothe a fussy baby. And a majestic chorus can make us swell with excitement. But music also can affect the way we

think.” I know music perks me up when I’m feeling lousy. And I also know music is my saviour for getting Jack to fall asleep. Familiarity is key. He loves Tom Petty’s Alright for Now, Fleetwood Mac’s Songbird as well as singles from Jack Johnson, Feist, Emily Haines and Iron and Wine. Music is one of many strings that tie Jack and me together. And really, how awesome would it be if Jack grew up to be a guitar player, the frontman of his own indie band? I can picture it now — The Jacks.

Should Cowichan doctors be required to work a monthly shift in a walk-in clinic? “Yes. Doctors working as surgeons and in family practices are spoiled, and aren’t in touch with people who really need help.”

Gerald McVeigh, North Cowichan

“Absolutely, and more than once a month without getting paid for it, because it would remind them why they became doctors: to help people. Experienced doctors from hospitals also give higher-quality care.”

Childcare needs to be part of the B.C. education system

Chemainus needs businesses that cater to working residents

Dear editor Why can we not ¿ll vacant store fronts on Willow Street before creating what will no doubt be more empty store fronts surrounded by a liquor store and grocery store? We already have several beer-and-wine stores, and a government liquor store. Do we really need another one? That being said, I am for new businesses that cater to resident needs ¿rst, not the dwindling number of tourists. Services that would be appreciated to have in Chemainus: affordable ¿tness centre with hours that accommodate working people (free weights, moksha/bikram yoga, tai chi, boot camps); restaurant serving organic and gluten-free options that taste good, stationary supplies (a decent selection of of¿ce supplies/stationary); restaurants with ethnic food choices (Thai, Indian, Korean, etc.). I know there are a few businesses in Chemainus that partially serve these needs. Others: why am I not aware of you? How are you marketing your business? Who do you consider your target demographic? Are you marketing in ways that effectively reaches them? I regularly read the local papers and search online for local businesses to serve my needs, but I’ve clearly missed you. If we want to kickstart the local economy, there needs to be more services that working-age people want. If there are no services for them they will not want to live in our community. If they do not want to live in our community, they probably will not want to work here, or support it either. Audrey Park, Chemainus comments posted online at cowichannewsleader.com

Trustees step over the line when politicizing PACs

Dear editor Of course I want more funding for the schools. And, if you had asked me in the beginning of the year if I supported a restoration budget, I would have said yes. But I had no idea the ¿ve majority trustees would take things to such a level. Campaigning to the PACs and parents to have a DPAC representative that supports a de¿cit budget is nothing but dirty politics. It would be like only polling the parents they know support them. How can you get an accurate representation of your district? Perhaps they do not want or care about the views of anyone who may not support the de¿cit budget.

he Cowichan Valley School Board deserves applause for taking a stand and submitting a restoration — not balanced — budget to the provincial government. If something isn’t working, don’t we, the people who pay the taxes, have a right to tell the government to rethink itself? We did it with the HST so we know it can be done. I know the issues are complex and I don’t for one minute think the trustees/ task is easy. In light of these challenging times I’m adding one more hot-button issue to the discussion — that of early care and learning. A handful of dedicated early childhood educators are currently trying to inform the public about a made-in-B.C. plan to address the utter inequality of support that is available to families with young children. We call it child care. But the kicker is that “The Plan” asks for the child care portfolio in B.C. to be taken out of the Ministry for Children and Family Development and put into the Ministry of Education, for these same, already stretched-to-the-max school trustees to administer. I know it sounds crazy, but it is the only good solution we have. Of course, the school board will need more money, a great deal more money and of course it has to come from taxes but we are at a place in B.C. where there is no other sensible choice. Currently we all pay taxes for our province’s children to learn for 12 years of formal education, but the human brain is already 90 per cent developed by age ¿ve. So we are really missing the boat when it comes to education. Perhaps we think young children under ¿ve don’t learn — not so. A child of four, or two or one is learning everything around them including their own and others’ emotions (big one!) and how to appropriately handle those emotions (even bigger one!), social interactions, problem solving, critical thinking, leadership, morality, sense of self, early literacy, etc. Children in B.C. are now entitled to full school day child care at the age of ¿ve. We call it kindergarten. But for parents of children under ¿ve who have to, want to, or need to, work or go to school, they are required to manoeuvre themselves through a very complex child care system that is fragile, fragmented and inequitable. It’s one that will require them to make choices based on cost, location and what is available. We are long past the old-fashioned notion children are best kept at home until kindergarten. We need longer maternity and paternity leaves as promoted by Paul Kershaw, and we need quality, publically funded early child care and learning programs for all of our provinces’ young children, not just the lucky ones. This isn’t about replacing families, it’s about supporting families. Our group is on the agenda for the June 20 school board meeting where we will present a condensed version of “The Plan.” We urge our valley citizens and our daring and bold school trustees to support us.

undreds of students now graduate every year from Cowichan Secondary School. In June 1944, just 20 Duncan High School students received their certi¿cates, so let’s celebrate them with a list: Elise Barr, Hope Campbell, Lois Harrison, Jean Lundahl, Joyce Lundahl, Agnes Pohl, Elsie Pohl, Joan Murray, Eleanor Pye, Geraldine Vaux, Margaret Wall, Muriel Williams, Tom Challis, Douglas Cook, Hugh Gilmour, Edward Harkins, James Hobson, Jack Mason, Donald McLennan and E. D. (Pat) Smithe. Also awarded that day in a ceremony in the school’s gymnasium, were trophies for the boy and girl gaining the highest number of points on sports day. Those awards went to tied winners Peter Gard, Edmund Chow and Ross Menzies for the boys; and Donalda McDiarmid who had a commanding lead in the girls’ events. Perfect attendance awards went to Dallas Vaux, Betty Campbell, Richard Purvey and Jules Foucher. Hope Campbell received the Best Citizen trophy, described by principal Mr. Goddard as the award that went each year to the student who had contributed most to the school in the areas of academic, social and athletic endeavours. Cadet.-Lt. Jack Fielden received the Hodding Shield for having his platoon judged best on parade at a recent cadet inspection.

Students Ă„nd artistic freedom in Chemainus Secondary School show

CHANGING TO SERVE YOU BETTER!

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

reedom of expression is the prize possession of Chemainus High art students. That liberty was released in 125-odd multi-media works by Grade 8 to 12 artists displayed at Chemainus Secondary Schoolâ€™s library last week. Thatâ€™s where Grade 12 student Daniella Loscerbo has hung her insightful acrylic painting Wind depicting a crow above a winding river in a stark, purple landscape. â€œItâ€™s a bit of a turmoil piece, plus emotions that have built up in me. â€œThe windâ€™s always shifting and thereâ€™s big movement, but thereâ€™s always beauty. â€œItâ€™s about creating something that has a message in it, not just painting a picture,â€? Loscerbo said, noting art teacher Craig Miller has boosted the energy of ChemSSâ€™s program. Miller was proud of the exhibit spanning glass, fabric, paper, wire, metal, acrylic, watercolour, collage and more. He saw art as life-long therapy. â€˜â€™I want students to see the process of creating art can offer time to reĂ€ect and relax,â€? he said, explaining many of the works involve recycled materials. â€œI still have my metal lizard I made

Chemainus High student Ashley Bailey with Trisha Rondeauâ€™s political piece Sierra Leone in the schoolâ€™s year-end art show that ran until June 8 in the library. in Grade 9 here,â€? noted Grade 12â€™s Ashley Bailey. She backed the idea of allowing expression, though more school board funding would help. â€œIf there was more money in the budget, more art would be done and students could expand in what they want to do.â€? Bailey and other kids cited students Benji Pegg, Jennifer Stanley, Lucy Childs and Loscerbo as some of the schoolâ€™s best artists. They were right. Standout show works include Stanleyâ€™s black-marker portrait The Crow, Peggâ€™s watercolor Bat Season, Sidney Conderâ€™s Tree & Sunset,

Sarah Douglasâ€™ tearful watercolour Mystic Epiphany, Amber Grantâ€™s wire-work Tree & A Cloud, Trisha Rondeauâ€™s bloody Sierra Leone, and Tegan Luckhamâ€™s chickenwire/ tissue-paper horse sculpture. Hamish Knadle is showing several marker pieces of manga-style cartoons. The schoolâ€™s art program allows freedom â€œas long as you have a plan,â€? he said. â€œWe probably could use more funding â€” weâ€™re running out of yellow paint.â€? Student art-show rating: 8.5 muses out of 10.

Cowichan Älmmakers urged to unite

ARTISTS

Interested in filmmaking? Interested in meeting other Cowichan residents who share that interest? Interested in getting together with these people to support each other in the process of of getting films made? Then the Vancouver Island Film and Entertainment Co-operative might be for you. The fledgling organization is hosting a meet-and-

greet and brainstorming session Saturday and you are being encouraged to check it out. “This event will test whether communications are reaching the right people and, more importantly, whether there are enough people who are interested in building a ﬁlm community to be able to create our own projects,” organizer Lynn Hale said in a press release. “We’ll be putting together some lists of the sug-

gested tasks for the people involved in ﬁlm projects.” Anyone interested is asked to drop by the multipurpose room of the Cowichan library anytime between 1 and 3:30 p.m. June 16.

Favourite play about favoured son hits Chemainus Technicolor dream answered: lead excited about role as Chemainus Theatre Festival fulﬁlls audience demand for Joseph Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

rt is imitating the life of Chemainus Theatre actor Adam Charles. The Chilliwack product, starring in the lead role of Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, said the famed Broadway musical of Biblical proportions helped launch his career. And just as Joseph was Jacob’s (Hal Kirby) favorite son, Charles was his late grandmother Leona MacSwan’s favourite grandchild. “She was so warm and had a special spot for me; we just really got along, and I think I was her favourite. “Joseph was the very ¿rst play I ever saw at age nine and it starred Donnie Osmond,” said Charles, 28. “It was amazing — I didn’t know what to expect and I was just blown away. I got the CD and that’s how I learned to sing,” said the tenor making his Chemainus Theatre debut in the house’s premiere production of Joseph. Charles also honed his stage skills at Toronto’s Randolph Academy For Performing Arts. His acting resume boasts The 25th-Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Blood Brothers, Hairspray, Beauty “I want them to the Beast, White be so touched; at and Christmas, Rocky Horthe end it’s really ror Picture Show, and other titles. heartfelt.” But Joseph holds a special place with Charles. “It’s just a really fun show, and people will have a good time, but it’s also got lots of heart. “Family is very important to the show and to me, so I connect with that.” There are some unexpected moral twists at play too.

Charles

Joseph (Adam Charles) fends off the advances of Mrs. Potiphar (Laura Ross) in the hit Andrew Lloyd Webber play that opens tonight at Chemainus Theatre Festival. “Usually the protagonist learns a lesson, but here the brothers learn a lesson of not to judge; foregiveness is also a big one,” he said of Joseph the underdog. “Family comes ¿rst.” That’s why Charles’ three older sisters and his parents plan to see Joseph, he said, noting he’s shaping his character. “I de¿nitely have watched Joseph on YouTube; and I try to give it my own spin. “I want to make Joseph more likeable, because he can come across pompous and

arrogant.” Instead, Charles’ challenge was “just trying to get the audience on your side because they can lean toward agreeing with the brothers saying selling Joseph off into (Egyptian) slavery was a good idea — he’s not a bad guy, he’s just innocent.” Joseph’s 16-member cast is led by director Shane Snow (A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline), and Charles hopes audiences leave singing some of its many tunes, such as One

CITRA, Eileen May Eileen May Citra passed away peacefully on June 13, 2012. A much loved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was born in Winnipeg Manitoba on September 4, 1925. Eileen is survived by her devoted husband Tom of nearly 57 years of marriage. He has been the kindest, most loving, caring man. He was her honey - the love of her life. Have I told you lately that I love you? Well, I do! She is survived by her 3 precious and greatly loved children, Geraldine, Judith, and Donald (Barb) and her 5 loved and adored grandchildren Erin (Gerry), Jeff (Linda), Greg (Maya), Daniel and Cole. Also surviving are her 3, out of this world, great grandchildren Alexander, Angelica Rose and Luke. Lukey was Grandma's boy - he brought so much wonderment, love, happiness and laughter. Eileen's brother Daniel and his family in St. Petersburg, Florida also survive. Eileen was a life member and past honoured Royal Lady of OORP #70 of Duncan and a past Captain of the Ladies Bronze Division of Mt. Brenton Golf Course. She loved to read, embroider, do searchword puzzles and make the best pumpkin pies in the world. For years she was an avid 5 pin bowler and golfer but her greatest enjoyment was family gatherings.

Thanks also the Palliative Care Team, the Nurses in Emergency and Second Floor East of the Cowichan Valley District Hospital. There will be no service as requested but donations to the B.C.

COMING EVENTS COW HIGH 1982 CLASS REUNION RODGER, Margaret Marie Margaret Marie Rodger (nee Burton) nurse, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend passed away June 9, 2012 at Cowichan District Hospital, Duncan. A longtime resident of Duncan, Marg was born in Niagara Falls, New York on May 3, 1923. She was the only child of Robert Henry (Harry) Burton and Margaret Isobel Burton (Prince). In Marg's first year, the Burton family moved to Timmins, Ontario where Harry worked for many years as an electrical engineer at The Dome Mine. Marg took her formal schooling in Timmins and South Porcupine graduating from St. Mary's Nursing School in 1945. Harry's retirement coincided with Marg's graduation and the family moved west in 1947 where Marg had accepted a nursing position at King's Daughters Hospital, Duncan. Marriage followed in 1949 and Marg continued her career through the birth of 3 children and divorce in 1967. She was a well known fixture at both KDH and its successor, Cowichan District Hospital, working on the wards and in the operating room at KDH, and moving on to Central Supply Room at CDH before her retirement in 1988. An active volunteer all of her life, Marg campaigned for Heart & Stroke, the Canadian Cancer Society, mammography screening at CDH, and worked with the CDH Alumni. When diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease in 2007, Marg moved from her apartment on First Avenue to Sherwood House where she happily spent the last 4 years of her life. She will be missed by her 3 children: Patricia (Byron) Hill of Victoria, Laurie (Barb) Rodger of Kelowna, and Kevin (Kim) Rodger of Duncan; 6 grandchildren: Graham Hill, Burton Hill, Shawna Geistlinger, Kelsey Schneider, Claire Rodger, and Lauren Rodger; 5 great-grandchildren: Jack Hill, Josephine Hill, Oscar Hill, Addison Geistlinger, and Gavin Geistlinger; sister-in-law and brother-in-law Alice and Eric Rodger of Kamloops; sisterin-law Joyce Rodger; numerous nieces and nephews; and countless friends. The family wishes to thank the staff of 2nd South at CDH for their sensitive and responsive care; Audrey and the staff at Sherwood House for their kindness to Margaret over the past 4 years; and special thanks to Dr. Jan Malherbe for the generous gift of his time, vast medical knowledge, and gentle spirit which helped ease the family through Marg's final days. A Celebration of Marg's life will take place Saturday, July 21 from 2:00 - 5:00 pm at the Cowichan Golf and Country Club. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the “Margaret M. Rodger Nursing Student Bursary” account at the Royal Bank, Duncan branch.

Mustangs pull their way up the ladder Fourth and rising? Three-for-four weekend edges team closer to Kamloops Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

reat pitching and hard digging has left the Cowichan Mustangs hovering around fourth spot in the B.C. Minor Baseball AAA play, coach Lorne LaFleur says. “It felt pretty good coming home,” he said after the Mustangs won three of four games last weekend against the Kamloops River Dogs in Surrey’s Unwin Park. “We’ve had a couple of guys injured and these guys really picked it up,” the coach said. “Kamloops was in second place and now they’re in third and we’re fourth.” Sinking the River Dog’s ranking followed a 4-2 Mustang loss June 6 against the Victoria Selects at Cowichan’s Evans park. “We scored once in the ¿rst inning then Victoria scored twice in the fourth, twice in the ¿fth, then we scored once in the sev-

Cowichan Valley Mustangs pitcher Devon Geary riÅes a pitch to a Victoria Selects batter on Wednesday, June 6 at Evans Ball Park. enth,” LaFleur said, citing runs by Robert Busch and Tyler Armstrong. But the Mustangs’ fortunes changed last weekend in Surrey against the River Dogs. “Game one was a pitching duel with one of our top pitchers, Cory Dewar, against their number-one

pitcher, Mike Gil¿lin,” LaFleur said. “We scored one in the ¿rst, then they scored in the ¿fth, then it went to extra innings — we normally play seven innings and we played three more innings tied at 1-1.” He raved about Dewar’s mound magic.

“Cory threw a gem: 110 pitches in a complete 10-inning game. That means 11 pitches an inning, and we ended up winning 2-1.” Game two saw Robert Busch, 15, debut on the mound before being swapped in the ¿fth for Dustin Jordan when the ‘Stangs were losing 5-4. “They scored three to make it 8-4 in the bottom of the ¿fth, then we scored three so it was 8-7 but we were still down by one. They scored two then shut us down in the last inning, so it was 10-7 for them.” The third game, Sunday, saw Mustang Devon Geary pitch the whole game during a 4-3 win. Game four had Trevor Read toss 70 pitches in seven innings for a Mustang win of 5-0. LaFleur was proud of his teamwork. “We had some good base runs — Drew Bosson stole about six bases — but no one guy pounded the ball,” he said. “We got hits when we needed them, and the guys just stayed tough on the plate.” The Mustangs will be in the saddle in two weeks against Chilliwack at Evans Park.

Cowichan Bulldogs’ running back Alex Hedley tries to elude tackler Alec McKenzie of the Sooke Seahawks in a Pee Wee game on Saturday, June 9 at McAdam Park. Cowichan Bulldogs won 27-6

he Cowichan Bulldogs gobbled two wins against the Sooke Seahawks last weekend while showing improved skills in a third match, coach Jeff McDonald said. Saturday’s ¿rst gridiron match in Duncan’s McAdam Park saw the Pre-Atom Bulldogs (age eight to 10 years) blanked 20-0 by the ‘Hawks. But that score doesn’t tell the whole story, he explained. “They played a very good game, and had the Seahawks at bay. It was just a matter of a point here and there, and that made the difference. “We’re in the silver cup semi¿nal game Saturday (June 16) at noon in Nanaimo, against the Nanaimo Bombers.” He declined to cite Bulldog standouts. “Everyone played outstanding — it’s impossible

to recognize any one player. They’re by far the most-improved team in this league.” The ‘Dogs second game Saturday saw the Atoms squad (11 to 12 years), under QB Damian McQuade-Jones, hatch a 28-22 win against the Seahawks. “It was an outstanding game where everyone played well, especially the Cowichan offensive linemen who never get the recognition — they have to work hard at every play.” The Atom ‘Dogs also meet the Bombers Saturday in Nanaimo. Meanwhile, McDonald’s Peewee team (13-14 years) played “an amazing game” against the ‘Hawks last weekend, notching a 28-6 win. “Linebacker and running-back Alex Headley, and Justin Young were dominant on the defensive line and put pressure on Sooke’s back¿eld the whole time.” The Peewee ‘Dogs are in the ¿fth spot, practising for their June 25 silver-cup game in Victoria against an unknown team.

Thereâ€™s also more competition from other race events sprouting up across the island. â€œThere are so many positives, and I focus on that, I just want to keep seeing it get bigger,â€? Nicholls said. Heâ€™s already considering adding a dedicated kidsâ€™ run next year: a 1.5-kilometre race for youngsters before the main Âżve-kilometre event. â€œLittle things like that,â€? he said. â€œIâ€™m still very happy with the support from the whole up-island. Weâ€™re supported from Mill Bay north, so itâ€™s doing the job on that note for sure â€” weâ€™re covering all the running Âżtness enthusiasts.â€?

Andrew Leong Matthew Sharpe of Victoria was the Ă„rst male runner and Claire Morgan of Victoria the Ă„rst female to reach the Ă„nish line at the 28th-Annual Chemainus Legion Twilight ShufĂ…e 5K on Tuesday, June 12.

he numbers may be down a little, but Phil Nicholls says the sun is not setting on the annual Twilight ShufĂ€e. The organizer of the Âżvekilometre run in Chemainus says Tuesdayâ€™s race still attracted more than 300 runners and went off without a hitch. â€œItâ€™s always enjoyed by everyone who takes part,â€? Nicholls said on Wednesday morning. â€œAnd it runs textbooksmooth. All the work of the Chemainus Legion volunteers make the event run perfectly.â€? Still, Nicholls would like to see more runners lacing for the annual run. â€œIn its heyday the numbers approached 1,000, so I need to take a look at why (numbers are down),â€? he said. He Âżgures weather could be a factor â€” itâ€™s been less-than-perfect for

School graduates who receive scholarships from funds raised by the ShufĂ€e and the Chemainus Legion. For the full list of results, visit the Race Day Timing website.

Upstart local side surprises Victoria on cricket pitch

owichan cricket players surprised three-year champs, Victoria United, during Saturday’s win in the capital. “After losing the last four league games the Cowichan cricket team had every reason to be concerned last Saturday’s opposition, United Victoria,

would be too strong,” said spokesman Howard Martin. “Even with a depleted line-up Cowichan surprised everyone with a 39-run victory.” Batting ¿rst, Cowichan made a solid start losing its ¿rst at 70 and their second at 136. Batsmen Rick Fletcher and Chris Batchelor played the bowling with assurance and set the innings up for a big total, he said. “With eight wickets in hand and the

total at 150 the team looked set for many more runs. “Then Matt Goode came in after the ¿rst wicket fell and was particularly harsh on any short balls. “However, the middle- and lowerorder batsmen capitulated far too easily and Cowichan slumped to 200 for nine at the end of the 45 overs.” After only seven overs, United reached 50 for no loss and seemed to be coasting to victory.

“At 154 for three, few would have predicted a Cowichan win, but an extraordinary chain of events then saw seven wickets fall while only adding seven runs. United was all out for 161, 39 runs short of the target.” “Matt Goode took ¿ve for 24 and Adam Benning three for 22. Two good catches and sound ¿elding were signi¿cant factors in the victory,” Martin said. Cowichan next plays in Victoria against Oak Bay on June 24.

Pharmacists put auxiliary labels on prescription bottles to highlight something important about the drug within. At this time of year, you may see a label that says to avoid overexposure to the sun. It’s important to heed this warning. You can be more susceptible to sunburn due to the drug causing photosensitivity reactions. When you are choosing a sun screen product, look for the ones labeled broad spectrum and have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. This will better protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Also remember to put enough lotion on the skin. To ensure you get the full beneﬁt from your sunscreen, you need to apply at least 1 oz. Many people apply much less and the SPF rating of 15 can actually be much less. To allow the sunscreen ingredients to bind to the skin, apply at least 30

minutes before sun exposure.

Many people take fish oil capsules daily for better heart health. They take them for their omega-3 fatty acid content. One of the side effects for some people is a fishy aftertaste. This can be avoided by storing the capsules in the freezer. It won’t affect their action but will eliminate that fishiness afterdwards. Now more than ever, pharmacists can work with you and your doctor to make sure you’re as healthy as you can be.

Breakers break ice with more than 50 personal bests Krista Siefken

ith more than 50 personalbests among the Breakers’ 39 competitors, it was certainly a positive start to the season during the club’s third-annual Icebreaker Invitational Swim Meet. A stand-out swimmer at the weekend meet was nine-year-old Kealey Scott, who took ¿rst place in all of her events: the 50 backstroke, 50 breaststroke, and 100 freestyle. But there were also solid swims from many of the club’s athletes who tallied dozens of new personalbest times, swam in new events, and made a strong showing in relays. Reid Urquhart and Gabby Pask earned the most ribbons and topthree place ¿nishes, and Ben Wunderlich, Lukas Bloss, So¿e Bloss, Alysha Greene and Gabby Pask all took huge amounts of time off their previous personal bests — some by more than 15 seconds. “The Breakers did an awesome job this weekend at their ¿rst swim meet of the season,” head coach Jen Efford said. “We had a hard ¿rst month of training, working on getting the kids’ aerobic ¿tness and technique back in place. “As a team we totalled 54 personal-best times,” she added. “They did

in the two-day meet’s 1,100-plus swims. “The meet went very well,” Lowe summed. “We had a ton of community support and our coaches and parent volunteers were fabulous.” The Breakers compete next at the Oak Bay Invitational at Saanich Commonwealth Place this weekend.
