A
local woman was injured, then helped from the Cowichan River bank near McAdam Park late Wednesday afternoon. Police said the 39-year-old woman tried to cross the river and slipped, then
entered some rapids. “She was able to hold on to some branches and got herself to the edge where she was helped by rescue crews,” said Cpl. Kevin Day of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP. The woman was taken by ambulance to Cowichan District Hospital, with a possible broken ankle and possible hypothermia, he noted. She was conscious when taken by stretcher
to medical aid, News Leader Pictorial lensman Andrew Leong said from McAdam Park at about 5:15 p.m. Cowichan Search-and-Rescue members, North Cowichan south-end ¿re¿ghters and their Zodiac rescue boat, plus police responded after initial reports a body was Àoating in the river. Day reminded folks to be careful around the river that can be dangerous at this time of year.
olice are on the search for a suspect after shutting an illegal drug lab in Shawnigan Lake. Shawnigan Lake RCMP seized drugs and cash at a home and its outbuildings in the 1600 block of Shawnigan Lake Road Tuesday morning. That’s where they found methamphetamine plus numerous chemicals in various states suspected to make methamphetamine, as well as suspected street-level mushrooms, ecstasy and marijuana. “The outbuilding that house the majority of the chemicals has been sealed off and will require further examination,” an RCMP press release says. “Experts in (illegal drug lab) investigations advise the materials were contained to the building and that there appears to be no environmental concerns at this time.” Police say the property and surrounding area’s residences and seasonal cabins were checked, but the majority were empty. Police executed the search warrant for the home and its suspected drug lab — called a clandestine or clan lab — at about 11:35 a.m. Tuesday. Shawnigan Mounties were joined by the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Police Dog service, B.C. RCMP Clandestine Lab Team and the Island District Federal Drug Section. more on A8
Andie MacDowell headlines made-for-TV romance being Älmed at Maple Bay Marina Peter W. Rusland

aple Bay became Cedar Cove this week during shooting of episode one for Hallmark Channel’s TV series based on novelist Debbie Macomber’s books. Staff were tight-lipped on the set Thursday as ¿lming happened inside Maple Bay Marina’s rustic Shipyard Pub, doubling as
the American cove’s Captain’s Galley bar. Cedar Cove is a sort of Harlequin-bythe-sea series based on happenings on the cove’s various quaint streets. The series sees ¿lm star Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings And A Funeral, Groundhog Day) portray Judge Olivia Lockhart opposite a Cove citizen played by Dylan Neal. Facts were few from the 70-member crew, but co-owner David Messier was pumped about the marina’s ¿rst shoot of note.
“It was a great opportunity for us. It was a ¿rst-class shoot with a ¿rst-class organization,” he said of Hallmark folks who rented the Shipyard, a Àoat home, and some dock and parking space during the Tuesday-to-Thursday ¿lming. Messier declined to say how much rent Hallmark paid — based on industry rates — for use of his marina. “It was more than fair — it wasn’t a small amount.” more on A8

Looking at most of the evidence, coffee is good for us. One study looked at 480,000 people in to determine if coffee had any effect on the risk of stroke. Compared to non-coffee drinkers there was an 8% reduction in stroke in those who drank one cup a day and a 13% reduction in those who drank 2-6 cups daily. The research on coffee didn’t differentiate between caffeine-containing coffee and the decaffeinated version. Decaf-coffee used to get a bad reputation because of solvents used to extract the caffeine. Nowadays, the caffeine is removed using a Swiss water process or carbon dioxide extraction. These methods are harmless. People who are confined to bed or wheelchairs can develop pressure sores than can be very dangerous and hard to treat.

Bear leads to Somenos lockdown, police incident leads to same at Bench Lockdowns briefly closed two valley elementary schools Tuesday in “code-yellows.” The first was due to a bear who showed up at Somenos uninvited. “Apparently, the bear was hungry and smelled something tasty in the compost bins that the school has set up right outside their doors,” School District 79 superintendent Joe Rhodes
explained. “The students were kept in for recess and lunch and the compost has been removed.” The second lockdown, at Bench Elementary School, also ended peacefully Wednesday afternoon. Police had been called to a home near the school after 1 p.m., after a man had threatened to harm himself. “The school went into lockdown mode until they
heard further from the police,” Rhodes said, adding police also had surrounding roads blocked. “The police had everything under control very quickly and the lockdown lasted only a short time.” North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Kevin Day confirmed the male was taken peacefully into custody after about 45 minutes.

Martin Barker: opposed
A
14-year wage-hike drought was broken by Duncan councillors Monday when they voted themselves raises. Remuneration rates hikes u 2017 — including Vancouver’s until consumer price index, and recommended
by administrator Tom Ireland — see the city’s six councillors’ stipends hop by ¿ve per cent per year during the ¿rst two years, then by six per cent annually. Mayor Phil Kent will receive a ¿ve per cent raise each year until 2017. The consumer price index percentage — currently 2.3 per cent — based on the previous year, will be added to 2012’s ¿ve per cent hike that’s retroactive to Jan. 1, 2012,
treasurer Peter de Verteuil noted. That means councillors and Kent will get a 7.3 per cent total raise this year, de Verteuil explained. Councillors’ wages will climb to $13,098 from their current $9,410 by 2017, outside the annual CPI add-on. Kent’s wage, now $17,750, will swell to $23,787 by 2017, plus the CPI. The next municipal election happens in 2014, but the new raises will be earned by
each councillor until 2017. Councillor Sharon Jackson, now in her sixth term, said the pay hike was due since Duncan’s levels were low compared to similarsize B.C. communities. “We’re at the very bottom,” she said, noting councillors struggled with giving themselves a raise. Newly elected Councillor Martin Barker opposed the pay hike.

Resource centre closing as services for the disabled cut due to lack of funding Krista Siefken

F
unding cuts are forcing Cowichan Independent Living to downsize. Its Disability Resource Centre on Coronation Avenue closes at the end of July, and a series of programs and services are being discontinued. “We’re still somewhat in Àux, but at least we’re not going to be closing,” CIL case manager Anne Matheson told the News Leader Pictorial on Wednesday morning. CIL will be moving to a smaller, as-yet undetermined location, and its employment, advocacy and peer support services will now be by appointment only. The adaptive recreation program (Recreation Cowichan), as well as the Community Access Point computer lab, will be closed, and CIL will no longer have a community kitchen and lounge space. “We’ve had kind of an open building, where people can just come and go, have a coffee and be made welcome, but that won’t be possible anymore,” Matheson lamented. “It is with much sadness that we say goodbye to these programs and we acknowledge the gaps that the loss of these programs will create in the community,” a CIL press release adds. “It is our hope that other organizations might be able to help ¿ll that gap where they can.”

Tim Wall sets up a computer system operated by blowing into a mouthpiece at Cowichan Independent Living in 2008. The system will no longer be available due to program cutbacks. The good news, though, is that Employment Services for people with disabilities will continue, as well as one-on-one peer support and some off-site group programming. Advocacy and information services will also continue, as will parkingplacard sales, referrals and community services. CIL also hopes to retain its Medical Loans program, but is still unsure if that’ll be possible. Staf¿ng changes will also be required, but it has yet to be determined what those changes will look like. Matheson explained that CIL receives funding from a few areas, but a big hit to funding from WorkBC proved too great a blow. “With the new (funding) model they’ve established, it’s meant quite a
cut for us,” she said. “At one point we weren’t sure we’d be able to survive, so this is a good thing that we’re just downsizing.” “This has been a dif¿cult decision for CIL to reach, but is a necessary one at this time,” the release adds. “We thank the community for its support over the years and hope that we will continue to enjoy that support as we restructure to ¿t the current climate for non-pro¿ts.” In fact, Matheson said Social Planning Cowichan will be hosting a gathering of local non-pro¿ts in the weeks to come. “(We’ll be) looking at the gaps in services now that there are some changes,” said Matheson, “and as a community, what we can do to make sure services are covered.”

FireÄghters move in to inspect the status of the Dino’s Äre June 10 after knocking down the initial strength of the blaze.
Cause of Dino’s blaze could be known sometime this week Two more: Other small fires keep crews busy Tuesday night Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
T
he cause of a recent ¿re that gutted downtown’s Dino’s Grill should be known by week’s end, Duncan’s ¿re chief said Wednesday. “Dave (Hewetson, building inspector) has sent stuff away,” Mike McKinlay said Wednesday of blaze evidence. “Hopefully we’ll know (lab results) by week’s end.” Dino’s co-owner, Dean Soler, said removal of burnt debris from his eatery will start next week after the June 10 ¿re that was called suspicious by investigat-
ing police. “Our landlord’s insurance company will take it from there with machinery. “The whole (restaurant) has to be gutted because of smoke damage,” Soler said, guessing Dino’s could reopen in late fall. Meanwhile, McKinlay’s crew snuffed a construction-waste bin ¿re at around 1 a.m. Wednesday at Koksilah Elementary School on Boal Road. That ¿re followed Tuesday’s 9:30 p.m. blaze that toasted a couch and some brush behind the Day’s Inn south of Duncan. The event was handled by ¿re¿ghters from North Cowichan’s south-end hall, McKinlay said.

Suspect in drug lab still at large from A1
Island District RCMP, Shawnigan Lake Volunteer Fire Department, and the B.C. Ambulance Service were also involved. “The search is a result of a two-day investigation,” the RCMP release adds. “The suspect in this matter is currently at large. A warrant for his arrest is being sought for assault, as well as several charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.” A local environmental company came in after the investigation to remove all harmful or suspected harmful products, police say. Shawnigan RCMP Sgt. Rob Webb, meanwhile, said other details such as why
assault charges are being recommended, how police were tipped off about the lab, and information about the suspect, will be released later, as the investigation is still active.
Romance author Macomber pays visit to the set from A1
He was approached about shooting Cedar Cove in the bay by some producers who visit the marina.

Shawnigan Lake RCMP seized these items, which they suspect were used to make illegal drugs.
“We put it all together ourselves.” Messier was especially attered to have met bestselling writer Macomber on set Wednesday.
Cedar Cove brought attention and capital to the valley, he noted, adding “the legacy from this will be that they could come back.”

A local taste of truly world-class cuisine Culinary Olympics: Canada’s junior national team makes a stop in Cowichan Bay this weekend Krista Siefken
News Leader Pictorial
N
ick Versteeg ¿gures chefs have taken on an almost sports star-like quality in the past decade, so it’s ¿tting there’s a Culinary Olympics for cooks to compete in. Versteeg, a Cowichan ¿lmmaker, has spent the past year documenting the Canadian junior team’s journey as it prepares for the Culinary Olympics in Germany. “It’s not only about making good food,” says Versteeg. “They have to learn how to be part of a team. It’s a commitment, an incredible commitment.” The team just returned from a cookoff in Korea where they placed second — an impressive feat, considering they were competing against senior national teams. “One of the judges was completely Àabbergasted that it was a junior team cooking,” Versteeg said. “He said they could compete with anybody in the world.” And Cowichan gets a taste of that Olympic-calibre cuisine when the team visits Cowichan Bay on Sunday.

Scotland or bust for White’s high-stepping crew
Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
I
t’s Scotland Or Bust for Kathy White’s Highland Dancers staging this weekend’s fundraiser to attend the Highland Games next month. “We’re going to four competitions, and we’re trying to add another one. “The one we’re really looking forward is at Inverary Castle. The standard of dance there is really high,� teacher/dancer White said of the July 15 to 30 Scottish sojourn costing about $2,500 for each of her dozen dancers packing bags. The Rotary Club handed White about $200 Monday toward Games’ tabs, while her 27 students — age three and older – polished routines for dance displays happening Friday and Saturday at the Mercury Theatre. “Basically, it’s all Scottish dance
choreographed in the second half, and traditional dance in the Âżrst half,â€? she said. White’s daughter, Alyssa, is helping choreograph the dances. “One’s done to Michael Jackson’s Thriller; another’s done to AC/DC’s Long Way To The Top,â€? White said of the show also involving “many barnyard animals and Old McDonald’s Farm.â€? Meanwhile, her pupils need some $1,200 for airfare per dancer. For tour details, call Eric Monk at 250746-6846, White at 250-710-0837, or email kathywhitedance@hotmail.com. Your ticket What: Kathy White Dancers’ Scottish Games’ fundraiser show When: June 22, 7 p.m., and 2 p.m. June 23 Where: Mercury Theatre, Brae Road, Duncan Tickets: $10, $8 students and seniors.

Rock of the Woods will rock Glenora Farm at the end of July
ON STAGE
Rock of the Woods has found some new woods to rock in. After a successful debut last year in Bamberton, the indie music festival is set to bridge the musical weekend gap between the July 20 Islands Folk Festival and the Aug. 3 SunFest at Glenora Farm.
Seattle’s Pickwick, Vancouver’s Rococode (left), plus islanders Acres of Lions, Versa, Jon Middleton and many more will be the draw during the three-day festival running from July 27 to 29. Headliner Pickwick is described as one of the most exciting bands in Seattle right
now. Other acts on the bill include The British Columbians, Mindil Beach Markets, Sunhawk, Carmanah, Kingdom Cloud, Chris Ho and many more including a mystery DJ and band. Tickets start at $45 per day and $100 dollars for the whole weekend. Go to rockofthewoods.com for more.
Joseph has as many skills as the dreamcoat has colours Review: Chemainus Theatre Festival achieves Dream fulfillment in one of its best-ever Peter Rusland

Andrew Leong
Jacob (Hal Kerbes) jokes with his favourite son, Joseph (Adam Charles), during Chemainus Theatre’s creatively entertaining musical Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
he intended musical smorgasbord comprising Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was amply served during Friday’s Chemainus Theatre premiere. Director Shane Snow and his multitalented cast, plus stage band, did a superb job spicing the Broadway hit for a small stage. But folks looking for Donnie Osmond as a vocally dominating Joseph were out of luck. Instead, tenor Adam Charles owned his part as the downtrodden dreamer — betrayed by his jealous brothers then sold as a slave who becomes a loving prince — amid a terri¿c ensemble cast boasting skills of as many hues as Joseph’s trademark coat. It and Joseph’s many other costumes — wonderfully designed by Norma Bowen — were the perfect ¿t for Snow’s show that doesn’t try to recreate desert life in ancient Egypt. Snow worked the script’s dream-type aspects that would have impressed writers Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Yes, there were some imposing sets — including a
massive sphinx head centrestage— built by Marshall McMahen. But it was the production’s 27 musical numbers, set to Snow’s choreography, that made Joseph a standout in the theatre’s past 20 years. Those rapid-¿re songs prevented Joseph’s descent into farce. The show’s sheaf of songs spanned a rainbow of styles: countri¿ed One More Angel In Heaven; French cafe-style Those Caanan Days; Caribbeaninfused Benjamin Calypso; and rollicking rock ‘n’ roll Song of the King. That Elvisesque king was none other than Chemainus’ world-level tenor Ken Lavigne like you’ve never seen him. Draped in princely togs, Lavigne personi¿ed a swingin’ Pharaoh, maybe matched by Hal Kerbes’ portrayal of twisted ruler Potiphar during his namesake number. Joseph’s most memorable dance number was perhaps an acrobatic tango between one of the 11 brothers and the Apache Dancer (Katie Murphy). Alison MacDonald was also adept as the ubiquitous Narrator relating Joseph’s biblical morals of karmic kindness, optimism and forgiveness to a choir of kids that lent a lovely streak of innocence. Mostly, Joseph musically reminded us that without dreams, we don’t have much. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat runs until Sept. 1. Musical-adventure rating: 9.5 pharaohs out of 10.

wo Cowichan teams struck silver honours — plus a gold singles’ title — during recent play on lawn-bowling greens in the Warm Land, and on guests’ grass. Cowichan ladies displayed their bowling skills placing second and fourth respectively in a local triples contest tournament June 12 and 13 at the Cowichan Lawn Bowling Club. Gillian Nicholson, Maria Ridewood and Janet Gardner earned silver out of 10 teams comprising 42 women from across the island and Powell River during popular Two Bowl Six Pack play. Cowichanians Tom Slemko and David Gardner also earned second-level honours recently at Central Saanich’s club after faring well at Victoria’s greens in Beacon Hill Park. In ladies play, CLBC’s 10 teams were drawn from a 29-team list for coveted spaces in the Duncan tournament, now in its seventh year. Team play logged 13 short games in two days. Duncan Locke organized the play, and Ross Bulley was the event’s of¿cial umpire. Oak Bay’s team of Joan Firkins, Pat Thomas and Donna Blackstock placed ¿rst, followed by the local women. Juan de Fuca’s Sharon Kennedy, Ann Mathie and Jean Chard earned bronze. Meanwhile, Slemko won Victoria’s Peace/Findlay singles’ honours in Victoria, before bagging silver with Gardner in Central Saanich. In Beacon Hill Park, Slemko and Gardner were drawn in the same grouping. After both won their games leading to the semi-¿nals, they played each other. Slemko was in terri¿c form and came out as the winner, Gardner said. The ¿nal between Slemko and Harry Harrison from Juan de Fuca LBC, whose name graces the trophy from previous years. The ¿nal was to 18 points and Harrison jumped into a good lead of 15 to 10, but Slemko dug deep, shot well and won 18 to 16, he said. Slemko and Gardner then paired for the Men’s South Island tournament at Central Saanich LBC the last week. After ¿ve close games on the Saturday and Sunday morning, Slemko and Gardner had a 3-2 win record, but with a the semi-¿nals during a points-examination process. The local pair faced Gordon Head’s Sven Klassen and Steve Foster. “It was a very tense and close contest until the 13th of 16 ends when Klassen and Foster pulled ahead to eventually win the game,” Gardner said.
uncan’s Stingrays swimmers continue to make waves setting a series of new personal-best times and earning more medals during their past three meets. The most recent, the Stingrayshosted June Jamboree on June 16, boasted 18 swimmers competing for the ¿rst time, and 10 veteran swimmers setting new personalbests. Standing out was 11-year-old Taylynn Smid, who achieved personalbest times in all four of her swims. Jamie Bell, 10, and James Ogihara-Kertz, 13, each set three personal-bests, too. The annual June Jamboree hosted ¿ve other teams from Vancouver Island, and was hot on the heels of the previous week’s Vancouver Island Regional Championships. That’s where ¿ve of the 24 attending Stingrays — Zeara Broadway, Jeremy Kissack, Megan Lewis, Desirae Ridenour and Esmee Zinkan — achieved personal-best times in all of their swims. Nine other swimmers set personalbest times in all but one of their events, and another seven did the same in all but two of their swims. “Other highlights include one new

finishing fourth overall in six hours and 14 minutes. Macey typically runs long distances, although not nearly that long all at once, during weekend training. James Griffin, the only other valley resident entered in the event, also had an incredible time of seven hours
and 17 minutes for 11th overall. The Great Walk has been barely hanging on with barely more than 100 diehards entering every year. It’s actually been cancelled twice in the past seven years due to low registration.

Canada’s only lawn tennis club turns 125 Ace anniversary: Buzz building in anticipation of special summer Krista Siefken

J
ust 13 years after modern tennis was devised, the South Cowichan Lawn Tennis Club formed. That was 125 years ago. And now the local club boasts the prestige of being the second-oldest tennis club in Canada — and the only lawn tennis club left in the country. “The history is quite rich,” says Louise Dwyer, the club’s chairperson for its anniversary tea. Along with Su Robinson, Dwyer has been poring over 125 years of that history in preparation for anniversary celebrations such as a tea later this month, plus upcoming tournaments. There’s also a history booklet that will be available at the club as well as the Cowichan Valley Museum on Canada Avenue. “We’re displaying more photos in the clubhouse this year, and we’re getting all the old trophies out and polishing them,” Dwyer added. “I was polishing one last night and it’s the oldest I’ve come across so far — this one was handed out in 1912.” She says the club has had its ups and downs in its 125 years, but it’s always persevered. Whether it was the infusion of innovative American members in the ‘40s, or Cowichanians’ dogged maintenance of the grass lawns, the club has always found what it needs to continue. “We’re going to “It’s been a big have an oldteam effort to keep the place going,” fashioned tea Dwyer said. with cucumber The last will and testament of sandwiches.” George Cor¿eld hasn’t hurt, either. “This land belonged to Mr. Cor¿eld and when he died, in his will he said the tennis club could have this land ‘as long as lawn tennis is played,’” Dwyer explained. “That’s partly why we still play on grass, because that was a stipulation in Mr. Cor¿eld’s will.” Other clubs have switched to hard courts

or the second year in a row the Duncan Museum parking lot will be transformed into a sand-¿lled beach volleyball court during Summerfest. Some 70 tonnes of sand are used for the Cowichan Outdoor Volleyball League’s second-annual Canada Day Beach Volleython for recreational and competitive mixed fours. “We have about four teams signed up right now,” says COVL’s Bonnie Grif¿ths. “(Duncan) city council has a team, which is awesome, so we’re encouraging teams from other groups and businesses — you only need four players to sign up.” Grif¿ths said that, like last year, there’ll be three sand-covered courts.
“And hopefully the weather will co-operate with us,” she said. “But the great thing about beach volleyball is we can play rain or shine — you can’t do that on grass because it’s too slippery, so this will be a go no matter what.” Unfortunately that hasn’t been the case for the regular, 34-team league, which plays on the grass courts at Brentwood College School. Less-thanstellar summer weather means a few games have been cancelled so far this season. “We’re making up an extra session because of the cancellations we’ve had, so on June 29 we’re inviting anyone who wants to to come to Brentwood to try their hand at grass volleyball, and we’re also going to do another one on Wednesday, July 7,” Grif¿ths added. “We start at 6:30 p.m. and we’re opening it up to anyone in the community who’s interested in trying.” Volleyball athletes of all stripes play in the league, she added. “It runs from recreational all the way to super league, so we actually have six divisions,” Grif¿ths said.

Travis Wiersma goes airbourne to keep the ball in play during the Ärst Over the Top Beach Volleython last Canada Day at the train station parking lot in Duncan. “We also sponsored ¿ve high school teams this year to play in our league, so it’s great to have the 17- and 18-year-olds that are seniors at their high schools come out and play.” To register for July 1’s Beach Volleython, running from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Canada Day, call 250-597-8831 or email bonnie@brentwood.bc.ca. Registration forms can be found on the COVL website and emailed to Grif¿ths or dropped off at the Duncan Garage.

Province needs to help save our social services Funding: time for the pendulum to swing back
O
ne can picture the scene back in the early days of the B.C. Liberals’ rise to power. Freshly minted Premier Gordon Campbell and his closest con¿dantes locked in a backroom, Àush with cigar smoke, ¿ne scotch and the success of their sweeping victory. “So boys, here’s our chance to make some big changes. The NDP has been milking the taxpaper for their friends for far too long. Where do you want to start?” “Well boss, they’ve got thousands of granola heads on the public teat teaching each other how to make baskets and feed hot chocolate to crackheads. Let’s cut them off.” Ten years “Hmm...not a bad idea. If any people actuof cuts have ally need real help, the local communities will step up to the plate. Do it.” taken their This scene, of course, is a creation of our toll imaginations, but it certainly isn’t a huge stretch given the situation facing Cowichan’s social service agencies. Ten years of provincial cutbacks have reduced this crucial contributor to our community’s good health to crisis mode. The community has stepped up somewhat, but not enough. Municipal governments have been too busy doing the things municipal governments were created to do — build pools and municipal hall additions, cut industrial taxes and hire more bureaucrats at higher prices. Donors pinched by the economic downturn of 2008 have less to give. And even if that weren’t the case, too many needy causes have their hands out and there are only so many coins for the cup. Most of the agencies themselves have cut staff, programs and corners. They’ve found alternate ways to generate revenue. But they are barely hanging on. A community is de¿ned by the way it treats those most in need of help. Our community is failing. It’s time for the provincial government to give us the help we need.
We say:
Seeing both sides of: a second vote for Catalyst The case against
The case for When a restructure plan for Catalyst Paper failed in May, it was by the slimmest of margins. Tossing the company to the highest bidder does nothing to ensure the future of Crofton’s mill. That future — necessary to the good health of our community — is best served by keeping the current ownership in place. It has a vested interest in seeing our mill succeed.
Shareholders vote Monday on a restructure plan for troubled Catalyst, owner of the Crofton mill.
Community policing making south-end difference Patrick Hrushowy

ommunity Policing in South Cowichan has come a long way during the past 15 years or so since its inception. A huge milestone is being marked on July 5 with the of¿cial opening of a Community Policing Of¿ce in Mill Bay Centre. From a humble begin“Block Watch has ning with a handful of volunteers and no legal grown from one the group has area in 1998 to 30 standing progressed from facilitating occasional victimtoday.” offender reconciliation sessions and Block Watch to Speed Watch and a range of community safety programs.

NCO in charge of the Shawnigan detachment at the time, can be credited with spearheading efforts to get community policing off the ground. He recruited Bob MacInnes, a long term Mill Bay resident and community supporter, who, in turn, recruited yours truly. I ended up being the founding chair of what would come to be known as the South Cowichan Community Policing Advisory Society. I was followed in the chair by Shawnigan Lake’s Reg Blackmore, a retired RCMP of¿cer and ICBC investigator. Today’s group is led by Christina Pratt from Mill Bay. One of the biggest growth areas of activity has been Block Watch, a program that encourages the organizing of small neighbourhood support groups who watch out for each other in their community and notify police if anything untoward is going on nearby. Under the energetic leadership of Shirley Walker, Block Watch has grown from one area in 1998 to 30 today, with ¿ve more at the
Catalyst is a failing company in a troubled industry. Its leadership has not proven itself capable of making the right choices to ensure the future of the Crofton mill.

initial organization stage. Police of¿cials credit Block Watch with reductions in property crimes. Today South Cowichan Community Policing offers an even more ambitious program to support people in their homes. It is called Friendly Phones and it is designed to establish daily telephone contact with area residents who live alone and/or have medical issues. Each day a volunteer phones a registered client at a scheduled time to check on their welfare. There is no fee and Friendly Phones takes referrals from the public, doctors, long-term care workers and health professionals. The people behind community policing have also been busy recently giving out “positive tickets” when a young person is spotted engaging in good behaviour or doing a good deed. Their positive ticket can be traded for a voucher or a coupon for a fun activity or a gift certi¿cate.
Speed Watch, of course, keeps on ticking along as area residents know, with volunteers manning the radar set up and speed display unit. Bob Wallace continues to be Mr. Speed Watch. Area directors on the CVRD have stood behind the program since its inception and voters recently supported a counter petition that provides tax support for these programs of up to $100,000 per year. This year Community Policing expects to spend $45,000. If you have the time on July 5, come down to Mill Bay Centre between 5 and 7 p.m. to mark the opening of the new of¿ce. Share some cake and meet Gail Stroud, the recently hired co-ordinator.

We can revive our forest industry by refusing to surrender
Why does our society value property more than human life? Dear editor It has long puzzled me that sentencing for crimes against property carry stiffer penalties than crimes against people. Alcoholism and remorse are considered mitigating factors resulting in lighter sentences for those who have taken a life. As far as I am concerned an alcoholic makes his choice when he takes the ¿rst drink. As far as remorse is concerned, it is far too little too late. Anne Moore

Dateline 1936: Union forms out of Cowichan Lake Ann Andersen
News Leader Pictorial
T
he early decades of the 20th century saw working men and women come together in large groups to give them a voice in workplace conditions, wages and beneÂżts. And so it was in Cowichan when in June 1936, Local 2782 of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union was formed during a strike at Lake Cowichan. The local extended from Nanaimo to Victoria, and included the island’s west coast north to Port Renfrew and the Gulf Islands. It was estimated that 4,800 men were employed in the area. Secretary-treasurer was J. C. Bailey. The union was moving to sign up all lumber employees in the region. Emphasis was placed upon a clause in the application form that organizers hoped would eliminate opposition to the union because of foreign domination. It read: “It is agreed by the signing of this application that after seven years from date you shall possess citizenship papers; otherwise you shall be dropped from the roll of the organization.â€? The local was under the B. C. District Coast Council, Vancouver, which was afÂżliated with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners headquartered in Glasgow Scotland. Organizers said the coast charter was received through the American Federation of Labour.

BC Housing’s new Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program helps lowincome B.C. seniors and people with disabilities make home modiďŹ cations that will allow them to continue living at home. Through HAFI, homeowners and landlords with eligible tenants can apply for ďŹ nancial assistance of up to $20,000 for improvements that make their home more accessible and safe. The goal of the program is to enable people who have physical limitations to live at home longer. People’s physical needs change over time – sometimes, a small improvement to a home can make the difference between being able to live independently or not.

day-to-day activities. As well, the total household income and assets must be below a certain limit. BC Housing can tell you the income and house value limits for your area when you apply.

Dozens of Duncan babies can apply for centennial status
100th birthday: City hall opens eligibility standards as the centennial celebration heads into summer Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
F
orget ¿nding just one Duncan centennial baby. Council is delivering an invitation to parents of all kids born in 2012 to become centennial children, Councillor Sharon Jackson says. “Anyone with a Duncan mailing address of V9L, and (newborn) gets to be called a centennial baby.
“They could be born Jan. 1 to end of 2012,” she said after a fruitless search for the ¿rst baby born to parents living inside city limits this year. “Everyone will get a certi¿cate,” she said, noting photos of babies are due by Dec. 20 at city hall so those shots can go into Duncan’s centennial time capsule being buried at a site being decided. “Councillor Tom Duncan says he’ll help me bury it Dec. 31,” Jackson joked of the capsule to be capped by a cement slab. “We want a place that’s waterproof, and not sitting below the water table for half the year.” But ¿nding the centennial baby had initially soggy results. “It was just getting depressing saying ‘No’ to all these people who think they live inside (squaremile size) Duncan; it’s supposed to be fun.”
Live centennial action includes a geocaching competition. “In the lid of every cache is a picture representing one decade of the city,” Jackson said. “They have to keep track of pictures and lids, and Sharon Jackson: download a PDF on our supposed to be fun website and enter. “They must say what the picture is, and answers are put into a draw, with the winner getting 100 Duncan dollars.” The city’s centennial drinking fountain is also on-stream. “The city got some funding from province, and a $47,000 bequest from a lady who wanted to
help beautify Duncan,” Jackson said. One of 30 fountains being created from a mould by noted collaborating sculptors Rande Cook, Peter Lewis, Lorne Holman, and Richard Gibson has already been pre-sold. “With a mould, we can sell copies and make our money back,” Jackson noted of the fountain headed against city hall’s west wall sometime this year. The actual carving will be done in plasticine to fashion a Fiberglas mould for making up to 30 copies “then the mould’ll be destroyed.” Other centennial activities include: a 100kiloemtre motorcycle poker run, starting on Duncan summer festival’s parade day, July 14; a demonstration by an extreme-Ninja motorcycle stunt rider near the city’s ¿re hall; motorcycle races downtown July 15, a totem pole and more.

QUIST, Nancy April 30, 1943 – June 16, 2012 God took our beloved Nancy home to be with other loved ones and left us all with heavy hearts and tears that fall without warning. Family was everything to her, Ed, her son and Shannon her daughter, her two sisters Diane & Heather and many grandchildren, nephews & nieces. Her hobbies, knitting & crocheting, gardening and canning was a big part of her life and she loved sharing it with her family. It’s impossible to sum up her life in a few lines, but suffice it to say, she was a beautiful soul. “Ode to Nancy from her Son & Daughter” And when the winds and rain came She protected me enough But not too much, she knew I’d need To stand up and be tough. Her constant good example Always taught me right from wrong I am my mother’s garden I am her legacy I hope today and always She feels the love from me. This is not good-bye “Nanc” it’s till we meet again. Sadly missed by Ed, Denise, Shannon, Dwayne, Heather & Jerry, Diane & Danny, many grandchildren, nieces & nephews, Paula and many friends.
ODELL – Martha Alfreda (Richards) Jan 16, 1923 – June 16, 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our aunt Martha Odell, who after a brief illness has gone to meet her husband and companion of 61 years. She was predeceased by her husband, Don in April 2012; her sisters Eva Davis, Pearl Holman and Patricia (Fransen) Powell; one niece Linda (Holman) Stanbrook and three nephews Lynn and Harvey Holman and Owen Fransen. She is survived by her sister Phyllis Richards; nieces and nephews; great and great-grand nieces and nephews. Martha was the youngest of the three daughters of Westholme pioneer Alfred Richards and his wife Florence Pinson. At one year old she lost her mother, shortly after, her father remarried and two more sisters were added to the family. Martha was raised and lived her entire life in the Cowichan Valley where for many years she worked at her retail job.

FRANCES M. NEILSON It is with heartfelt sadness that we say goodbye to Frances Neilson. She passed away peacefully with her daughter Sonja by her side on June 12, 2012. Frances was born in Alberta and came to Duncan in 1937 to visit her sister and soon later met and married her Gunnar. They moved to Lake Cowichan in 1942 and resided in the same house ever since. Gunnar passed in 1979. Nanny loved life, family, relatives, friends, neighbours, politics, nature, horses, brandy, dancing, Àowers, sewing, her Volvo, picking fern and salal, carpentry, renovations, projects mechanics, cooking, baking pies and bread, lipstick, dangly earrings, country music, gardening, round-up, turpentine, chocolate and Mantracker. She leaves behind her daughter Sonja (Dwight) Wilcox, grandsons Quint, Shane (Robyn) and Brent (Carmen), greatgrandchildren Nash, Adam, Rachael and Liam. Many nieces and nephews, greats, great-greats and great-great-greats. She had a wonderful life and always fondly remembered her family’s trek from Edmonton to the homestead by covered wagon which took nine days. Today it is an hour drive. She always maintained that growing up on the farm was the best of times. She worked hard all her life, and always said you can do anything you want to do if you put your mind to it. She was an inspiration to all who knew her and even a hero to some. The sun was her God. We miss you already Mom. There will no service by her request. Thank you Dr. Kerswell for your home visits and caring for Mom. We greatly appreciated everything you did for her.
