phonebook-size report says the Cowichan Valley Regional District should have made more effort to communicate and consult with the community early on in what became the disastrous process for the South Cowichan ECO Depot. The failed waste-transfer facility ultimately cost taxpayers $1.3 million. The CVRD staff-written report was released during Wednesday evening’s regional services committee meeting. It suggests opposition to the project partially stemmed from details about it not being released until after the site selection had taken place, as well as from the lack of a comprehensive communications strategy early on, and a perceived lack of transparency around CVRD decision-making. “To be blunt, when we went out and said we were going to be moving forward with this project, a lot of us expected that it would be

$1.3 million ECO Depot Äasco blamed on bad communication Naive approach? Massive report says better community engagement and consultation may lead to more successful siting in the future welcomed in the community, to be very honest,” CVRD administrator Warren Jones admitted, eliciting snickers from the gallery during Wednesday’s meeting. “And it — obviously — wasn’t welcomed everywhere.” The report suggests the district take a more open approach when selecting sites for future facilities. “Adopting an open and public siting process in the future may be more likely to lead to successful facility siting by supporting effective com-

munity engagement and consultation at each step of the siting process,” the report states. That much, Shawnigan Director Bruce Fraser agreed with. “Embedded within the report ... is probably the most essential piece of information, which is that a great deal of time, money and effort was spent after a decision was made to purchase the property and to, in effect, impose that on a particular group of citizens,” he said. “If there’s any key understanding of this report it would come from the absolute necessity to

tell people in advance, and thoroughly, in a way that allows a community to decide for itself as to whether the siting of a facility is in an appropriate location or not.” But Fraser took umbrage with some comments that the problem with the ECO Depot was the CVRD’s failed attempts to convey its necessity to the public. “It would be an error on our part if we were to think the reasons the ECO Depot was opposed was based upon a lack of understanding of what an ECO Depot is, or the desirability of a recycling facility,” he said. “The thing that defeated it was its imposition of location and that is the primary reason why it failed. To assume that people in the south end don’t want it, or the people in Shawnigan misunderstood what it was for, is simply erroneous.” The ECO Depot had been slated for 3224 Cameron Taggart Road in June 2010, but was formally abandoned by the CVRD last December after a 65% majority opposed the project in a referendum on Nov. 19, 2011. more on page 8

Driver issued 24-hour suspension after driving into Malahat rock wall Charges are being sought by police against a male driver police say was stoned when his car hit a rock wall near the Malahat Summit Wednesday. The 22-year-old, Victoria-area driver’s name hasn’t been released. The 3:30 p.m. wreck saw his southbound 1998 Toyota Camry heavily damaged when it hit the rightside ditch’s rock face, Shawnigan Lake RCMP said. The driver was taken to Cowichan District Hospital

with minor injuries. No other vehicles were involved in the crash along a non-medianed stretch near the Malahat’s look-out. The wreck — attended by paramedics and Malahat firefighters backed by Mill Bay fire hall members — caused about 45 minutes worth of delays to north- and southbound traffic, the cops said. The driver — the car’s sole occupant — was issued a 24-hour driving prohibition as a result of

being under the inﬂuence of drugs, plus a violation ticket for offences under the Motor Vehicle Act, Cpl. Jason Kerr said. The Mounties declined to say what type of dope is suspected to have been used during the crash. “Stupidity” is how Malahat ﬁre chief Rob Patterson described the incident that saw the care career into the rock wall.

Cowichan Symphony support literally dying off Overture: Cowichan Symphony Society’s cash crunch will see the VSO miss four Duncan dates Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

owichan’s classical-music scene will take a huge hit if patrons don’t support Victoria Symphony Orchestra shows this coming season. That’s the worry of Del Kitt, a 30year supporter of the venerable, ¿nancially vulnerable Cowichan Symphony Society that’s hosted the VSO here for some 56 years. But the society’s past season left his group about $35,000 deeper in the hole, and Kitt says catastrophe could come in two more years of red ink. “We’re going down the pipe every concert. Our audience is dying off, literally, and not being replaced,” he said CSS’s aging patrons enjoying Cowichan Theatre dates. That’s why the society cut its VSO package to four concerts from the regular eight in hopes of luring listeners during tough times. But if two years under the four-concert scenario fails “there’ll be nothing left, all our reserves from the past 56 years will be gone,” he said. Those four annual concerts will cost $140 — $100 less than last season’s eight-concert package. “You have to buy the lot, or pay $40 at the door,” Kitt said. “We picked fun concerts and changed seating prices — theatre-right seats are $30 so you could pay $120 for all four.” Three concerts occur on Fridays evenings, with a Sunday afternoon Tafelmusik concert. “The idea is to retrench and increase our numbers. We need 550 people at each concert to break even because the VSO costs $16,000, and the theatre is $2,000.” Theatre boss Kirsten Schrader sympathized. “It would have a big impact on the theatre, and

Soloists Joslin Romphf Dennis, Rebecca Hass, John MacMaster, and Stephen Hegedus performed Beethoven Symphony No. 9 with the Victoria Symphony Orchestra and the Victoria Choral Society on Monday May 7, during the Cowichan Symphony Society Änale of the 2011-12 season. the whole community, if they had to cancel,” she said, noting talks about partnering and sharing CSS show costs in the 731-seat facility. Schrader also suggested the society seek a regional-board grant. Kitt said the CSS’ Ted Rhodes is trying for government grants “but we were rejected because we had too much money in reserve.” “Kirsten suggested we go to the CVRD for a break on the theatre (rental) payments.”

“The symphony is part of the cultural landscape here,” Schrader said, noting symphonies across the continent are struggling. “One’s even doing symphonies in cemeteries. How to make classical music relevant to younger audiences is what other symphonies are dealing with. I think the society’s doing the right thing by scaling back and reassessing.” Local cellist and VSO patron Judy Holmes agreed. “I’d hate to see it go down the pipe.

“Classical music’s such a great thing for this valley; we get folk and jazz but we need a contribution from the classical side to round out the music scene.” Right, said Kitt. “Now the statement of whether Duncan wants this is if they buy these subscriptions. “There’s no pro¿t being made here at all, it’s about getting bums in seats.” The theatre’s ticket centre is at 250-748-7529.

LLong weekend not going to be open season for partiers Misbehaving during the Canada Day long weekend could see your party end in jail, officials caution. Preparations for the July 1 long weekend sees co-ordination between Cowichan region’s parks and trails enforcement team, RCMP, B.C. park rangers, Ministry of Forests compliance officers, Ministry of Environment conservation officers

and Forestry ofﬁcials planning safety and patrol strategies for Cowichan’s 200-odd parks, forests and trails. “There are areas in the Cowichan Valley where overnight camping, alcohol consumption, loud music, ﬁres and tree cutting are prohibited,” Brian Duncan, Cowichan Valley Regional District spokesman, says in a press release.

“Motorized vehicles are not permitted in B.C. parks or on the Cowichan Valley Trail system.” Information checkpoints will be set up in several areas prior to, and during, the weekend to tell visitors about activities allowed. “Violators will face ﬁnes, impounding of vehicles and possible arrest,” he said.

like the one happening in the valley on July 7. The Island Spirit 2012 Geocaching Mega-Event is spread out between Shawnigan and Ladysmith and out to Cowichan Lake. It’s part of the WestCan series of events that promote rural economic development, and is being run in conjunction with Duncan’s centennial festivities. There are already 675 registered participants from around the world signed up, and organizers like Nixon and Margerison estimate a total of 1,000 geocachers will be in Cowichan by the time the big event kicks off. And there have been 193 new caches created speci¿cally for the Island Spirit event, with participants having ¿ve hiking routes to choose from: everything from the mild Trans-Canada Trail, to treks up Mount Tzhouhalem and Maple Mountain. “We’re spread out from viewpoints to vineyards,” says Nixon. In her ¿ve-year geocaching career, Nixon and her trusty GPS device have personally uncovered 2,857 caches, and planted another 88. The Island Spirit caches are small, green and air-

tight boxes ¿lled with a log book for geocachers to enter their name in, plus SWAG — small trinkets a cacher can take out and replace with something else. “If you take something, you leave something — small things like pins, stickers, fun little things,” Nixon says. They also subscribed to a “cache-in, trash-out” philosophy, frequently bringing in bags to collect trash from local woods. “Everyone has a different reason why they geocache,” Nixon says. “You ¿nd places you never knew existed,” adds Margerison. “We started as a way to get the kids excited about hiking.” “My daughter had dragged me out,” Nixon remembers. “Then I got addicted.” The Island Spirit 2012 Geocaching Mega-Event happens on Saturday, July 7 around the Cowichan Valley, with registration required by Saturday, June 30. Island Spirit 2012 family festivities and entertainment, meanwhile, happen from 10 a.m. onward at the Cowichan Exhibition Grounds on the same day. More at islandspirit.ca.

he busy summer season for police has once again kicked off with a number of grad parties in south Cowichan, combined with a couple of ATV incidents in the same area. “June leads us into our typically busiest time of year,” Shawnigan Lake RCMP Sgt. Rob Webb con¿rmed in an email to media. It started with several party complaints at the beginning of the month, with high school students from the Victoria area travelling over the Malahat to party near the Burnt Bridge area. “We are presently working with transportation companies to have this practice stop.” Webb said last week he’d con¿rmed those companies had no other contracts for similar parties lined up for the rest of the summer. “And we’re hoping it won’t happen next year,” Webb added. And in Duncan, Cpl. Kevin Day said it’s been a relatively quiet grad season. “So far any grad events have gone well and there have been no problems reported,” he said. Shawnigan, meanwhile, has seen a pair of ATV incidents this past month. The ¿rst included an alleged Àight from police and ended in an arrest and the seizure of a shotgun and multiple cans of beer. The second saw two youths injured after their all-terrain vehicle crashed. Police say traf¿c complaints also continue to come in, particularly on the main commuter roads: East and West Shawnigan Lake, Cobble Hill, Shawnigan-Mill Bay Road, and the Malahat. “We are in the process of adding an unmarked unit to our Àeet to help with enforcement and awareness efforts,” Webb said. “Shawnigan detachment members will do our best to be out on the roads, lakes and parks through the summer months. We have scheduled patrols for the lakes with the addition of seasonal funding from Island District RCMP and the Cowichan Valley Regional District. We may be in our boat, ATVs or bikes — you just never know where we may surprise you.” Webb added that summer always seems to bring with it an increase in reports of theft from vehicles, and mischief complaints. “RCMP encourage citizens to lock your vehicles, keep valuables out of sight, and continue to report suspicious activity or persons,” he said.

No size limits, no wage hike leaves local teachers with mixed feelings Mediated deal: union leader not happy, but likes the fact no concessions were forced Krista Siefken

News Leader Pictorial

eachers are feeling a mix of emotions about their tentative contract, the president of the Cowichan District Teachers’ Association says. “We feel relief in many ways, but also disappointment because (the tentative agreement) doesn’t address the main concern we had, which is over class size and composition,” Shellie Trimble said on Wednesday morning. “There’s no language around that.” There’s also no wage increase, which Trimble says wasn’t particularly surprising given the provincial government’s net-zero mandate. “There were slight gains in bene¿ts in the Cowichan Valley when they harmonized bene¿ts across the province — we were slightly under (before harmonization),” she added.

Krista Siefken/¿le

Education advocates rally near the School District 79 ofÄce on Beverly Street earlier this month. The contract between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association was mediated by Charles Jago, and expires June 30, 2013. If Jago had been unsuccessful in bringing the two parties to an agreement by the end of this month, the provincial government would have legislated a contract instead. “Under (Jago’s) guidance, the parties worked extremely hard and made progress on many important issues,” Education Minister George Abbott said in a statement released Tuesday evening.

“As heard on 89.7 SunFM”

Trimble said that while the tentative contract is not perfect, she’s relieved it will not force concessions from teachers. “We were fearful that if we didn’t agree, we’d have to make some concessions in a legislated contract,” she said. Teachers vote on both the provincial and local components of the proposed contract on Thursday after school. “Depending on how the vote goes, it’ll be a nice summer to have both of those things off our plate,” Trimble said. “I can’t predict, but I think it’ll probably be a yes

(vote) because it’s better than a legislated contract that may have contained concessions.” Negotiations on a contract for post-June 2013, meanwhile, will start in March, and will include further talks about restoring class size and composition language, Trimble said. In the meantime, teachers Wednesday ¿led notice in B.C. Supreme Court to challenge Bill 22, which imposes hefty ¿nes for protest action from teachers. The BCTF says the contentious bill infringes on teachers’ right to free collective bargaining.

North Cowichan rejects monument at Waterwheel Back on Schutz: North Cowichan wants to see more First Nations consultation Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

request to erect a giant monument to B.C. artist Emily Carr in Chemainus’ Waterwheel Park was rejected by North Cowichan council Tuesday night. “That’s it,” Mayor Jon Lefebure said Wednesday morning. “Council passed a motion last night saying it did not support the monument going into Waterwheel Park.” Council discussed Chemainus Advisory Committee’s rejection

recommendation during Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting. That recommendation was based on public feedback during a recent meeting, the mayor said. “The committee said overall public opinion was against placing the monument in Waterwheel Park. “We rose and reported, and that made it an of¿cial council meeting (decision),” Lefebure explained of the monument’s nixing. Council did not discuss Schutz’s funding request for the 50-foot statue matching Mural Town’s Carr theme. Councillors were concerned some Penelakut First Nation folks said they felt excluded from the $300,000 Carr statue project. “It’s back in Karl Schutz’s hands to get First Nations support,” Lefebure said. Mural pioneer Schutz said he’s

Couples’ Support • Communication • Fair Fighting • Create Amicable Solutions • Re-Kindle the love

sorry about any misunderstandings the Carr project has created with Penelakut members. He plans to Jon Lefebure: meet with tribal elders that’s it once a new project society iis fformedd andd registered. “We thought we were well connected to Penelakut council through (monument sculptor) Dennis Nyce’s ¿ance, Nadine Karen (a Penelakut), and both are Global Emily Carr Family-Tree members. “We apologize if the Penelakut tribe felt neglected — that was de¿nitely not our purpose.” Meanwhile, he remained optimistic a place and purse can be

found for the controversial Carr statue. “We’re very encouraged about feedback from lots of people. “We’re moving forward, with the emphasis on ‘we’ — this is not a Karl Schutz project, it’s a community project and we have a lot of letters of support.” But some vocal Chemainiacs basically called the monument ugly, saying it would be out of place in Waterwheel. The monument’s design won’t be changed, Schutz said. “We don’t like to play around with the proposal from the artist. The scale is right, for the right location. “We’ll see what the new group recommends on how we proceed. “We’re looking for a new site and we hope it’s in Chemainus. We want to make it as bene¿cial to downtown as possible,” he said.

North Cowichan must reconsider library site Chemainus: Parking lot space can’t afford the loss

ver spend a few hours in Waterwheel Park? On any given summer day, the beefy tour buses come in a steady stream from Victoria, rolling off Mill Street behind the post of¿ce. They swing in a wide arc past the lookout and the statue of H.R. MacMillan and settle in before the Chemainus Valley Museum. From their bellies pour a steady stream of visitors, most of them gray, thicker-set and stooped. On many celebration days the parking lot is packed — not with cars, but with tents and with bodies, as people enjoy hot food and the crafty handiwork of island artisans. Often the pavement seems less parking lot and more staging area. Old ¿re hall And that’s why the decision to carve a site a better large chunk of that parking lot away for a new library seems shortsighted. choice The library as proposed will clog traf¿c Àow, block the museum and lookout from Willow Street and push those tour buses full of golden-agers to the bottom of a steep hill — one that could lead tour operators to transport their aging passengers to more accessible attractions elsewhere on the island. It’s not as if there are no suitable alternatives. A 30-second walk away sits the old Chemainus Fire Hall, municipally owned and slated for development. It would seem perfect. But council appears to believe that site would be put to better use turned into of¿ce and community hall space. Why a library cannot be incorporated into that mix is an open question. Why North Cowichan seems to think it should take on the role of developer is a disturbing question. It’s not as if downtown Chemainus is plagued by a lack of empty spaces. Waterwheel Park has been carved away piece by piece for years to the point where very little of it can now be considered “park.” But it is a well-used space with great utility for the community. It should be left on its own to do what it does best. Put the library some place else.

We say:

Seeing both sides of: agricultural open burning The case against

The case for Farms may seem bucolic to the urbanite, but the fact is they are messy operations. Fertilizer stinks, roosters are noisy. Cows leave cow pies and land-clearing involves burning. Farm burns are occasional occurrences. They are the most expedient way to deal with the issue of brush. These are facts of rural living. The farms were here ﬁrst and they need to be able to operate.

Open burning is permitted on agricultural land reserve property in British Columbia.

The valley is not the same place it was 50 years ago. It is far more urban and home to far more people. We are also far more cognizant of the health dangers of smoke. Farm regulations need to change with the times. It’s not like there are no alternatives to open burns — chipping and burial are two options that come to mind. The habitual way does not mean the best way.

There’s no excuse for trotting out the idiot factor Jay Siska

News Leader Pictorial

ere’s a thing I don’t understand. Every time there’s a controversial proposal, or someone’s got a serious beef, a certain type of people come out of the woodwork feeling the need to commit reprehensible acts of intimidation, thuggery, and destruction. Last time it was the ECO Depot — which led to the dumping of both garbage and gear oil, and threats against CVRD staff and board chair woman. Someone also thought it’d be cool to chop down the sign at the proposed site. Stellar work. Earlier this month, the crosshairs ended up on South Island Aggregate’s Stebbings Road site where some genius(es) decided to teach SIA a lesson. They not only graf¿tiied the site, but set ¿re to, and ultimately destroyed, a piece of machinery worth somewhere around $400,000. The graf¿ti included the words “No” as well as

a few others the paper won’t print. So there are two possible scenarios: 1) SIA has been in the news with its proposal to deposit contaminated soil on its Stebbings Road mine site near Shawnigan Creek, which feeds Shawnigan Lake. People are fearful a spill or accident could lead to irreparable damage to the lake — a drinking water source for a lot of folks. So a person, or persons, took it upon themselves to let SIA know how they feel by torching a piece of equipment. 2) Someone who has a beef with SIA — completely unrelated to the controversial proposal — decided to get some payback and employed a smoke-and-mirrors tactic to shift police attention in another direction. In either case, you’ve done nothing great. You made the anonymous point: “I/we can wreck something real good.” You forced SIA to pay the deductible on its insurance, and (in the potential case of the proposal’s opponents) created an environmental hazard in a watershed you hope to protect.

And I just don’t get that mindset at all. Running onto a property with a can of gas, a lighter, and some pink spray paint with intent to destroy is something I can’t imagine. There’s a lot of stuff I can’t stand, but I have yet to plan to burn it all down. But you did. Congratulations on your success, you are, by de¿nition, either 1) an eco-terrorist or 2) industrial saboteur. There is absolutely no justi¿cation for this type of behaviour whatsoever. “Desperate times call for desperate measures,” or any other B.S. just doesn’t cut it. While the law may extend sympathy to those who have committed acts of violence in self-defence, the deposition of contaminated ¿ll within a watershed as a “threat” gets zero legal traction or somehow excuses this type of response. And if you torched that machine as payback, I’m ¿ling that under “D” for dumbass.

COWICHAN LEADERS

Am I in favour of SIA’s proposal? Absolutely not. I can’t understand how any sane person could possibly think this is a good idea. But that mindset doesn’t give anyone carte blanche to go and destroy something in the name of what’s “right.” So while the CVRD board is hoping to put a moratorium — or what Director Gerry Giles called the “pause button” — on this controversial proposal, I’d like to propose my own moratorium. Everyone can stop doing stupid, destructive crap that doesn’t really do anything for anybody. We’ll all be the better for it.

1967: Maple Bay

1967: sewage

DATELINE: COWICHAN

North Cowichan Councillor Margaret Robertson was accused of over-dramatizing the municipality’s south-end sewer situation after she told the media raw sewage was ﬂoating in ditches.

by Ann Andersen

1967: cricket

Maple Bay port’s history was honoured with the unveiling of a rock cairn to mark the former importance of the bay as a port of pioneer settlers. Cowichan paddlers in war canoes and a replica of S. S. Beaver joined the event.

In the ﬁrst over of Cowichan Cricket Club’s ﬁrst loss of the season, a nasty rising ball from Philip Head caught wicket keeper Ken Hickling to the right of the eye. The injury required nine stitches removing Hickling from the match.

Lumber baron sets waterwheel Åowing Dateline 1967: MacMillan helps launch Chemainus Ann Andersen

News Leader Pictorial

nly decades ago, Chemainus Waterwheel Park and the adjacent parking lot were the site of the Chemainus mill manager’s house and garden. According to writer Irene Dutton, the house was built on the cliff top in 1891, where the statue of H. R. MacMillan now stands. It seems ¿tting then, that MacMillan, who walked out of Chemainus mill under a cloud in 1917 to return as owner 25 years later, should be the one in June 1967 to press the button to start the water that turns the waterwheel still operating today. The nine-foot red cedar wheel, built as a Canada Centennial project, is a replica of the original wheel that provided power for the ¿rst Chemainus sawmill, established in 1862. By this time, MacMillan was well into his 80s and the large crowd present at the event sensed a genuine affection for their community, his former community and its place in lumbering for over a century, commented the Leader. The lumber baron paid tribute to Bill Horton, who loaded ships at Chemainus, and to employees and their families over the years. As well, there had been only two groups of shareholders in the history of the mill, he recalled.

he Clements Centre has long served Cowichan children — since 1957, in fact — but when most people think of Clements, they tend to think of its programs and services for adults. That’s why staff have rebranded the children’s arm of Clements, launching the Sundrops Centre for Child Development last month. “We see children from birth to almost ¿ve,” says Delta McDonell, program manager at Sundrops. “Children who are at risk for a delay in development.” A development team of physical and occupational therapists work with speech and language pathologists, infant development consultants and a family resource consultant to address any area where a child may need assistance. There are the equivalent of about ten full-time staff members at Sundrops, although those resources have been stretched thin by an increased case load — Sundrops serves 350 children and their families. “We do have wait lists for some of our services,” McDonell said. There are 150 children on the wait list, and 106 of those kids are waiting

Krista Siefken

Briannon Meyer and her son Reilly have been coming to the Sundrops Centre for two years. for speech therapy in particular. McDonell says that’s partially due to a growing knowledge of Sundrops in the valley, but also due to Cowichan’s population increase. Sundrops served 130 kids in 2009, 195 kids in 2010 and 211 kids in 2011. Some funding, meanwhile, comes from the Ministry of Child and Family Development, and the United Way, while the Duncan Volunteer Fire Department has made huge contributions to occupational therapy funding, McDonell said. “We also receive charitable donations from individuals,” she added. “We’re hoping to increase those.” The ultimate aim, McDonell explained, is to build a separate centre for expanded Sundrop services. “We want to assist all the children

being referred to us,” she said. Briannon Meyer, for example, was referred to Sundrop about two years ago by her son’s doctor. Reilly, who has autism, was about 1 1/2 then. At Sundrops, Reilly and his parents were connected with an infant development consultant and works with an occupational and speech therapist. “She’s gone above and beyond her job,” Meyer said. “When your child has autism there are so many people involved, but the ones here support you, and encourage you, and work with you. It’s a very, very good relationship. “You feel like the people here have the same passion I do to help Reilly.” To learn more about the Sundrops Centre, call 250-746-4135 or visit the Sundrops website.

South-end food bank wants to cool down after Rotary help

cooler and a shopping list of groceries is what south Cowichan’s busy food bank needs now. “We need money because it’s easy to store,” said Traci Waite of Mill Bay’s CMS Food Bank. Waite was thrilled about the South Cowichan Rotary Club building a 600-square-foot addition on to the CMS facility at 2740 Lashburn Rd.

“But we need a cooler to store our summer food,” she said of the appliance costing about $3,500. “It’s a cash-strap right now.” Rotary also needs funds to help complete the CMS addition — involving a washroom for handicapped folks — and other community projects (call David Crow at 250-743-2776). The addition also offers storage

space needed by Waite and her volunteers.

For the Olympic games starting in London later this month, the British team has been told telling to avoid handshaking with fellow participants and others.

One of the myths concerning sun exposure is that dark-skinned people don’t need sunscreen protection. In the U.S., rates of skin cancers are on the rise in African American and Hispanics so skin of all colours needs protection from the sun. The word steroid often conjures up a negative image. But this class of chemicals is ﬂowing through our bodies naturally. Cholesterol is a building block for hormones. Cortisol comes from the kidneys and regulates energy and immune function. Sex hormones like testosterone and estrogens regulate sexual function.

Steroids are also found in medications that help many conditions. Prednisone is a powerful oral steroid which is an antiinﬂammatory to treat many conditions like severe rheumatoid arthritis. Steroids are also found in inhalers, enemas and skin creams. These products are very helpful in patients with asthma, inﬂammatory bowel conditions like Crohn’s disease, and severe skin rashes.

Duncan man polishing up on a natural wonder A labour of love: Six years of polish brings out the shine in gigantic natural beauty Maeve Maguire

News Leader Pictorial

on’t judge a burl by the pictures. That is the lesson many people learn when they visit Glen McLeod’s gigantic maple burl. “Everyone says that when they come here,” said McLeod about how the pictures don’t capture the burl’s beauty. McLeod, with no woodworking experience, cleaned, sanded and polished the burl he excavated from his front yard six years ago. The burl, named Mu¿tt, weighs approximately three tonnes and measures about 30 feet in circumference. It is polished to a smooth ¿nish and treated with linseed oil, which reveals the maple’s bird’s-eye pattern and honey colour. McLeod named the burl as a tribute to his friend Peter Mur¿tt, who built the shack that has sheltered McLeod and the burl through all those years of polish. “Peter and I became quite close in a short amount of time,” McLeod said. Sadly, Mur¿tt passed away shortly after he built the shack. McLeod and his wife Paula haven’t taken a holiday in six years because he was always working on the burl. “I did take a week off work once, but that was to work on the burl.” Paula supported McLeod’s work entirely. She said, “We have a “It’s British joke in our house: It was Columbia in one the burl before the girl.” To celebrate the big clump.” burl’s near-completion, McLeod held an open house this past Saturday and Sunday, where an estimated 500 people visited. One visitor, Jeanne Halladay, said the burl makes her emotional, adding that the public connects with it because it is soul work and it tells stories. “It is just stunning. It makes me weep when I see it.

Jeanne Halladay and Eilish Young inspect the maple burl Duncan’s Glen McLeod (at right) spent the past six years bufÄng and polishing. “You can see shapes in it, like animals and people. It’s British Columbia in one big clump.” Becky McLeod, Glen’s daughter, grew up playing on the burl but didn’t understand, at ¿rst, what her dad’s attraction was to it. “I didn’t get what was so great about it until I saw what he was doing. The other day he showed me a slideshow of pictures of the burl and all of a sudden I burst out into tears. It hit me how much hard work he put into it, and how beautiful it is, and how selÀess my dad is.” Glen’s selÀessness is evident with his promise to give all proceeds from the open house’s door prize, a pool cue made from a piece of the burl, to the Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. “I just wanted to give back,” he said. What’s next for the burl? Glen isn’t sure where the burl will end up, but

he would like many people to experience it. “Maybe the museum or a children’s hospital. Somewhere everyone can touch it.” Halladay wants to see it displayed in a public place where it is protected from the elements but accessible to many people. “I would like to see it in Japan, or the Vancouver International Airport. It has to be somewhere big where a lot of people can appreciate it.” Becky will be sad to see it go, but knows her dad will continue making things beautiful, “When this one goes, it will just make room for the next thing.” Though the public viewing is past, McLeod said he is open to people setting up viewings by appointment. Call 250-748-0075 to view the burl, or visit theburlshack.blogspot.ca.

GILLINGHAM, Marjorie Marjorie was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan on July 25, 1918 to George and Mary Pickering. She passed away in her 93rd year in Cairnsmore Place on June 19, 2012 in her beloved granddaughter Andreaâ€™s arms. Predeceased by her husband, Gill, in 1994, and her brother Jack in 2009, she leaves her three children, David (Susan), Don (Eileen) and Elaine Nessman (Denis); her grandchildren, John and Eric Gillingham, Noel (Consuelo ) and Amber Martin, Andrea (Trevor) Dow, Graham (Chantal) and Laura Nessman, and great-grandchildren, Brennan, Mackenzie, and Connor Martin, Alexa and Halle Dow, and Ethan Nessman, born just a few hours after she passed away. Marjorie had a sense of adventure which helped to create a full life. In her words, â€œI wouldnâ€™t change a thing.â€? After receiving her BA in 1939 and her BEd the following year from the University of Saskatchewan, she taught in one-room school houses in small prairie towns. Following a visit to Cowichan Bay, she was determined to return to the coast and soon landed a teaching position in Vancouver. Living in Kitsilano with girlfriends and being footloose and fancy free was a time of special memories for her. She soon met Gill, fell in love, and they were married in 1946. They moved to Duncan to raise their family. Marjorie and Gill had a wide circle of friends with whom they enjoyed bridge games, family holidays, and service club activities. Marjorie taught for many years at Quamichan Junior Secondary and later at Cowichan Senior Secondary, where she also served as Department Head of Business Education. She retired in 1979 and settled happily into their retirement home on the water in Cowichan Bay where she lived for 25 years. She was active in IODE, Eastern Star, and several other service organizations in her lifetime. She traveled extensively to Hawaii and Europe with Gill, and later that sense of adventure led her to South America and Antarctica with her good friend, Roy Trussler. Music was an important part of Marjorieâ€™s life. She passed on this love to many, but especially to her granddaughters. She received her ARCT at the age of 18, acted as an accompanist, played the piano for sing-a-longs at family parties, attended the symphony regularly and supported her granddaughtersâ€™ music education. One of her greatest gifts was her ability to make and keep friends. She could strike up a conversation with someone in an airport line-up and end up visiting them in their home the following year. She formed many friends through bridge clubs and played until just a few months before she died. She enjoyed reminiscing with her former students about their time in Mrs. Gillinghamâ€™s class. Marjorieâ€™s happiest times were spent surrounded by family and friends. She was grateful that her children also chose to settle and raise their families on the Island. She always said that she had lived a very good life and had no regrets. A celebration to honour her life will be held at the Cowichan Golf and Country Club on Friday, August 3, 2012 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. In lieu of ďŹ‚owers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC or to the Cowichan Musical Festival Society, c/o Delores Wagg, 6041 Hyacinth Pl., Duncan, BC V9L 3Y8.

Bulley picks on his Armour rivals

Overtime shortfall protested

Lawn bowling: Triples tournament decided over Traynor in a good-natured battle of familiar foes Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

oss Bulley’s team with Betty Locke and Joan Wilson emerged as the champions from the two-day, 10-team Ken Armour memorial mixed triples tournament at the Cowichan Lawn Bowling Club. Teams played a random draw of ¿ve games Saturday and Sunday morning, with four teams advancing to the semi¿nal and ¿nal Sunday afternoon. “It was a great turnout,’’ said Dave Gardner, who both ran and played in the tournament with wife Janet. “The weather co-operated as well. It rained Friday evening right up to Saturday morning. “It’s one of our more important tournaments and everybody really enjoyed themselves.’’ Each team had to include one player with three years or less of bowling experience. That gave new bowlers

a chance to be involved in tournament play. Tommy Traynor’s team with Maria Ridewood and Clint Bailey, Tom Slemko’s team with Litza Slemko and Roy Smith, and the Gardners with Paul Gallagher — last year’s winners — joined Bulley in the semi¿nals. Bulley and Traynor prevailed to reach the ¿nal with a large crowd of club members sitting back and enjoying the action. Bulley and Traynor are longtime club members and familiar opponents, leading to some good-natured bantering. Traynor’s second-year bowler Bailey made some ¿ne shots to the jack while Bulley’s lead Wilson, a novice, also produced excellent shots. The Bulley team ¿nished strong, coming from behind to become the new champions. In-house tournaments are always friendly in nature at the club, but also competitive. At the conclusion of the event, players enjoyed a barbecue put on by club volunteers.

Cowichan appeared to take a onegame lead in the best-of-three island A2 ¿nal by defeating Nanaimo 5-4 in overtime Saturday. But Nanaimo protested because only ¿ve minutes of overtime was played instead of 10. “They won the protest and they’re going to force us to play the ¿nal ¿ve minutes of that game,’’ said Cowichan coach Lorne Winship. The only trouble is Cowichan had the home Àoor and the extra ¿ve minutes can’t be combined with game two in Nanaimo in order to be fair. The winner of the series goes to the provincials in Port Coquitlam. “We beat them ¿ve times this year,’’ said Winship. “They’ve all been really close games. “We’re very even teams. I like to think we’re a little bit better.’’

Dragons roar through must-win situations District champs: Midget girls’ fastpitch squad all ﬁred up Don Bodger

he Duncan Dragons are just beginning to get ¿red up. The Under 16B girls’ fastpitch squad tuned up for the provincial tournament it’s hosting in two weeks by winning the district playdowns. The Dragons went into the districts favoured to win after going undefeated in league play. The ¿rst game Saturday morning ended in a 6-2 victory over Sooke. Kaylyn Snow pitched a complete game four-hitter, striking out 11 batters in the process. Four Duncan batters — Kaitlin Gill, Amber Wallace, Devon Ramwell and Tayler Green — had two hits apiece. Both of Ramwell’s hits were doubles and Green had a triple. An 18-0 drubbing of Langford followed, with Ramwell and Paige Chowen combining for the Dragons’ six-hit shutout. Chowen also had a big game at the plate

Makenna Campbell provided the Dragons’ bright spot by going two-for-three. Facing must-win situations the rest of the way, the Dragons avenged two previous tournament losses to a tough Peninsula team with a 6-5 nailbiter. Skye Olender and Snow combined for the pitching win, allowing just six hits between them. That set up a rematch with Strawberry Vale in the gold medal game. Chowen pitched a gem and solid defence by Campbell in the in¿eld and Alanna Henry in the out¿eld carried the Dragons to a 7-3 win for the gold. Britnie Hearsey went two-for-two, Katie Woywitka two-for-three and Ramwell three-for-four to lead the attack.

U19C fastpitch: Bronze medal the end result of team’s hard work

ournament action is heating up at Duncan’s new Evans Park ¿elds. The South Vancouver Island Under 19C midget girls’ fastpitch playdowns were held last weekend, with the Stingers — coached by Gary Quaife — and the Explosion — coached by Bob Orchin — representing Duncan. Nine teams competed for two provincial playoff spots. The Stingers made a determined run at No. 1 before eventually settling for the bronze medal. “We battled hard for two days and in the end, we ran out of gas,’’ noted Quaife. “There was

absolutely nothing left in the tank. “Other teams sat players for full games but we made sure that every girl played in every game. After all, they all had a big part of us playing as well as we did all year. There wasn’t one girl who hadn’t given their all. They left it all on the ¿eld. I’m so proud of each and every one of them.’’ As luck would have it, the two Duncan teams wound up playing each other in the ¿rst game. The Stingers came out on top in an exciting 8-6 result. The Explosion went down to the loser’s bracket and was promptly eliminated after being beaten by View Royal.

The Stingers moved on to face Langford and earned a 7-4 victory in another close game. With little time to rest, the Stingers went back on the ¿eld for their third game in four hours and took on a powerful Peninsula team with numerous players having A level experience. The Stingers played one of their best games of the year but lost 7-2. The defence and offense both rose to the occasion but Peninsula brought strong pitching off the bench to close it out. The game was tied 2-2 in the late innings before it got away on the Stingers. Sunday’s do-or-die contests began with a 10-4

win over View Royal. After a quick break, the Stingers faced Gordon Head in a must-win situation and trailed 1-0 going into the ¿fth inning before rallying for a 3-1 win. The marathon continued with a game immediately afterwards against Sooke Outcasts, a Midget B team dropped into the C division. The Stingers battled hard through four innings and only trailed by a run before eventually falling 10-4. Todd Sumislawski, Harry Manhas and Alicia Manhas assisted Quaife with the Stingers’ coaching. Players included: Aly Quaife, Jessica Smith, Meena Manhas, Dana Bell, Lauren James, Tasha Reed, Kayla Pultke, Jane Steward, Kailyn Monti, Brittany Mayo, Ashley Eliason, Whitney Williams and Nancy Kerfoot.
