A 20% zinc oxide paste provides this protection but it is visible after application and not too acceptable to many people.

Using heat therapy for sore joints can be very soothing and effective. The length of time heat should be applied is 20-30 minutes per session. Heat is helpful in reducing muscle spasms and arthritic back and neck pain. Heat shouldn’t be used on a new injury, open wounds or infections or swollen or inflamed areas.

Fifty years of family, friendship and down-and-dirty fun Wasn’t that a party? Cowichan Rugby Club celebrates special anniversary with a ruck of a good time Maeve Maguire

t was more like a family reunion than anything else. The Cowichan Rugby Club celebrated its 50th anniversary last weekend, marking the number of consecutive years the club has been in operation. Event organizer May Geach said the club has actually been around much longer. “The club goes back further than that, but because of world wars there were breaks in the timeline,” Geach said. Founding members, past presidents, current players, alumni and their families gathered at the CRC to celebrate their membership. The event-¿lled day started with a game between reigning provincial First Division champions Cowichan Women playing Nanaimo, the team they beat on their quest for the provincial title. Later, an invitation-only lunch was served to the club’s founding members and past presidents. Gord McGeachy thought that was the highlight of the day. “Seeing a lot of the original members of the club come back was fantastic. Everyone was genuinely happy to be there and see each other. It was like a step back in time.,” he said. Geach noticed the same. “The older people who were invited to the luncheon were absolutely tickled pink to see the people they hadn’t seen for years.” Family legacy is strong at the rugby club, made clear at the main event where the Sons of Cowichan, a team comprised of men whose fathers had played with the club, competed against the President’s XV, an invitational side with men who were current players or alumni with

McGeachy, who was unable to play due to having just undergone knee surgery, coached the Sons of Cowichan side, which is ¿tting as his father joined CRC in 1966. “Our rugby club is a family club, totally evidenced by the number of players out for the Sons of Cowichan side,” McGeachy said. “There were enough kids to make an entire team — at least 25 guys. At the 60th anniversary, there will probably be a Daughters of Cowichan game.” The game ended in a tie, which is

impressive given two players on the President’s XV side were national team players: Doug Woolridge and Brett Beukeboom, who had just signed a professional contract in the U.K. This high-calibre competition didn’t phase McGeachy. “Two players do not make a rugby team. Cowichan has a lot of great players.” Hundreds of people were in attendance to cheer on the two sides, and many stayed afterward for a barbecue dinner and dance. “It was an exceptional party and an

Seniors’ group uses last weeks to pass torch Divvied up: With the closure of Cowichan’s Seniors Resource Support Society, some existing programs and services are being taken on by other groups Krista Siefken
News Leader Pictorial
A
dark cloud hangs over Cowichan’s disbanding Seniors Resource Support Society, but there is a silver lining. Former executive director Jacquie Smith says various programs and services are being saved through talks with other valley groups, businesses and people. Thrifty Foods, for example, will continue to offer the shopping program for seniors, with SRSS volunteers transferred over. The Good Food Box program, meanwhile, will continue with money dropped off at the Canadian Mental Health Association of¿ce on Festubert Street, and pick-up available at Warmland House. Still, Smith said it’s a sad time watching as the 25-year-old society is dismantled. “The fallout has been tragic,” she said. “Many seniors are feeling orphaned by an organization that worked so hard and provided steady, competent care and nurturing of their concerns. The time is long overdue
Krista Siefken/¿le
Former Seniors Resource Support Society director Jacquie Smith says the group’s demise has left a vacuum in the community. for government to be more effective in their outreach, to serve the people they so heavily tax.” The level of service provided by SRSS, Smith said, won’t be available to the community again — unless another society with a similar mandate forms. In the meantime, she’s been referring seniors to wherever she thinks they’ll ¿nd the assistance they need. She pointed out many of the seniors she works with want to talk to someone in person. “Also, they know that when they call (an organization) often they’re calling someplace else in Canada,” Smith added. “Nobody knows the Cowichan like the Cowichan people, and nobody services the people of Cowichan better than the people

here.” Another concern for seniors, Smith said, is the move to assistance via the internet. “They’re disillusioned and upset and furious with the fact that everything is on the web and they’re supposed to learn how to run a computer,” she said. And Service Canada employees are not permitted to assist seniors ¿ll out forms, so Smith has been referring a lot of people to Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley’s of¿ce on Trunk Road. “And the staff there have noticed the dramatic rise,” Smith said. “Our closing has created a huge vacuum of support for seniors.” The last hurrah for the seniors’ organization is July 15’s Elders in the Park gathering, in conjunction with the Duncan Summer Festival. And SRSS will maintain a downsized of¿ce presence at its Volunteer Cowichan home until July 31. “We’re happy to help anybody who needs it before we close, and point them in the right direction — as we always have,” Smith added. “The need is so great. It requires the Of¿ce of the Senior Advocate, it requires CVRD funding, it requires the active participation of all citizens. “We’ve done our level best, but even with a million dollars the need is just so great for one organization or society to pick away at. It’s a sad day.” For a list of places to now access former SRSS services, check the online version of this story at cowichannewsleader.com

A
suspicious ¿re near Lake Cowichan last week occurred in a mobile home that was the subject of a tenancy dispute. At approximately 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 18, residents at the Lake Cowichan Mobile Home Park on Meades Creek Road heard a loud explosion and came into their yards and onto their back porches to discover Unit 27 on ¿re. Park co-manager Pat Duringer said they had been having trouble with the resident for some time. “He had been evicted,” she said. “We had an order of possession for July 9.” She added the issue was more about the company the resident kept, stating she had to deliver a letter March 15, asking his associate to leave the trailer park. Police called the ¿re suspicious. The exact cause is under investigation. The power had been cut to the residence. Park co-manager,Mike Duringer

The aftermath of the Äre the next day, Thursday, July 19. Unit 27, right, was gutted with the roof ready to collapse. The front of Unit 26, left, was still somewhat intact. said the man who lives in the home is in hospital, while RCMP Cpl.

Members of the Lake Cowichan and Youbou ¿re departments were on scene for more than four hours containing the blaze, which quickly spread to one neighbouring unit, and threatened others. “The structures are dangerous, they were collapsing, so that’s why we had to keep our distance a little bit,” said Lake Cowichan ¿re chief Doug Knott. “They’re so close together that

when one started it started the other one.” Neighbour Kaz Kojder said he was taking a nap when the ¿re started. “I heard screaming and I looked out the window and from here I could see the Àames already. I went out to my back deck and saw how big the Àames were so I knew (it) was a goner immediately and that’s when I started to worry about me. I just moved in. I’m almost exactly one month.” At this time RCMP have no suspects and no one in custody. Anyone with information about the ¿re can call local RCMP at 250-749-6668.

Greed and pride get in the way in reburial talks Mill Bay Marina: Province needs to put reasonable guidelines in place that spell out what must be done
W
hat kind of monetary investment is appropriate when it comes to paying your respects to the dearly departed? What price do you put on a funeral? Usually that’s a personal decision made by families after consulting with a funeral home. And usually it works because the funeral director will provide a list of options and the family is free to decide which best suits its means and their lost loved one. But when the decision is taken out of family hands and turns into a negotiation, it can get ugly. Situation too Just like it has in the reburial plans for nine people whose remains were unexsensitive to discovered during excavation for leave to nego- pectedly the Mill Bay Marina. As reported last week, marina developtiation ers and the Malahat First Nation are at loggerheads about what the developer should pay for re-interment. Both parties agree the developer should pay something. The developer says it is not obligated to pay anything, and thinks an offer of $10,000 is a more-than-fair gesture. The band says its planned reburial will cost $30,000 and that is more appropriate. It’s not hard for an outsider to conclude the band is feeling disrespected while the developer feels milked. It doesn’t need to be this way. Funerals are too emotional to get tied to something as calculated as land development. Laws need to be in place that spell exactly what is expected in these kinds of situations. Take the negotiation out of it. Give developers the ¿nancial certainty they crave. Give the bereaved family (the band) a pre-decided budget to take into their funeral planning. Generations of people buried their dead in this valley. You can’t always predict when or where their remains will be uncovered. But you can plan for the aftermath. Then the dead can be left to rest in peace.
We say:
Seeing both sides of: Railway station renovation The case against
The case for Vancouver Island rail boosters are pointing to the recent restoration of the Nanaimo train station as pointing the way for line restoration. And they are right. Communities were built around rail hubs. Duncan is the perfect example of that. But while its station is still a community centrepiece, that’s not the case in other locales like Chemainus and Shawnigan. Time to change that.
Dayliner service was discontinued in April of 2011.
While the Nanaimo example is wonderful case of a community coming together, we can’t help but wonder if it was a wasted exercise. Passenger railway service is dead, people. Other than a few scattered freight trains, the line is on life support. Rail only exists in the dreams of rail romantics and green commuters. Show us the train. Then maybe we’ll get on track.
Can’t trafÄc planners and ofÄcials go with the Åow? Jay Siska
News Leader Pictorial
T
here are basically four types of drivers on the Malahat. 1) The Regular Commuter: this person is a good driver, knows the route, and drives between the speed limit and 10 km/h over. 2) The White-Knuckler: this driver fears the Malahat, believes it is a death-trap, and drives 15 km/h under the limit. 3) The Self-Appointed-Speed-Attentuator: this person thinks the majority of fellow drivers are speed-crazed and dangerous, and takes it upon himself or herself to never drive above the speed limit in either the single lane or the passing lane, to prevent what they feel is dangerous driving. 4) The Distracted/Bad Driver: this driver texts on their phone, changes lanes without signalling, drifts back and forth to the point of crossing the centre line and comes to a dead stop
in the fast lane attempting to turn left across a double-yellow. The problem with the ‘Hat — from a design perspective — isn’t so much the road, it’s how to keep the various driver-types from crashing into each other. Current thinking among traf¿c planners designing the south island roads seems to be focussed on one thing only: slow them down. This is misguided and wrong. And here’s why: traf¿c needs to get moved. My grandfather (RIP) was a chief of police in the District of Matsqui (now Municipality of Abbotsford). He told me stories of how he’d ride herd on traf¿c at the Abbotsford Air Show. His direction to all the cops in his detachment working that event: the most important thing was moving that traf¿c. That’s stuck with me because it makes complete sense. Move. That. Traf¿c. I was on the mainland last weekend in a heavy glut of vehicles coming off the ferry. Once we’d cleared the stoplights for the Tsawwassen area, everyone clicked into a groove. The speed limit was 90 km/h and everyone was doing that,
or 100 km/h tops. Everyone maintained completely safe stopping distance between vehicles, and traf¿c Àowed like butter. Contrast that with what happens on the ‘Hat, and it’s like night and day. Yes, it’s a more twisty-turny route that requires your attention. But when one Driver Type 2 or Type 3 (an island exclusive) gets in front, there’s 40 Type 1s in a tight group right behind, heading south. All of them are fuming and waiting for a passing opportunity. Then that passing opportunity (the four-lane section between Aspen Road and Tunnel Hill soon to be separated with concrete barriers) is denied by overzealous police enforcement. That same police attention should be focussed solely on blatant speeders, and anyone who is impeding Àow in the fast lane. And that section should be upgraded to 90 km/h. Our highway isn’t functioning as it should. Farther south, the ¿rst phase of the concrete barrier work announced by Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom back in March (after
COWICHAN LEADERS
local pressure for action) looks like it’s been completed. Now, instead of being able to pass immediately after the entrance to Goldstream Park, you can’t pass for almost another kilometre. On the uphill. This is a fail of epic proportions. By slowing traf¿c, and preventing it from moving, traf¿c congestion will simply back-up and further congest the area between Spencer Road and the park. While I applaud the addition of barriers to prevent lane-crossing head-ons, deliberately constricting the Àow of traf¿c is something I can’t get behind. For the love of Jeebus, please make that traf¿c Àow. Jay Siska writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial. Reach him at jaysiska@hotmail.com.

How important to you is free universal health care in Canada? “It means a lot to me. As a society, everyone should be equal, and have equal access to universality of health care. It should be needs-based, and ability-topay based concerning premiums.”
Dave Barker, Victoria
“It’s absolutely important everyone have it in this country, just like education. If you’re on welfare and can’t afford to pay, health care should be free. Premiums are the way to pay to administer it.”
Tim McCarroll, Courtenay

Former board chairwoman ready to run again on her principles
I don’t want Duncan to keep up, I want us to lead the way
Dear editor In his July 19 column, Patrick Hrushowy tells us he would be quite happy to see an end to local school board representation especially since people he disagrees with might inadvertently be elected. As for the so-called partisan character of our ¿ve trustees, I ¿nd this comical at best. Though I have no formal membership with any party, all people in this country at least for the foreseeable future have every right to be af¿liated with political parties which represent their views if one actually exists. In fact, most of the individuals who sit in local government positions (and this applies to our school board) do have party or other community connections as they have every right to do. It would seem Mr. Hrushowy only takes issue with these associations if they are contrary to his political beliefs. If he is so secure in his declaration that no one cares about the removal of legitimately elected people, then he should be the ¿rst one to ask for a byelection to test his theories. I am prepared to stand by the decision of my community in this regard having been elected three times on the same promise of submitting a needs budget. Eden Haythornthwaite

ayak-explorer Wave Vidmar’s scienti¿c odyssey to Hawaii has been docked by technical glitches. But Wave will set sail once electronic ¿xes are found to his navigation and communication gear, said Nick Horscroft of Chemainus’ Seaward Kayaks that adapted a Pasat G-3 double craft for Wave’s needs. “He’s had a helluva time. Wave hopes to leave next week,” Horscroft said of the epic 2012 Seaward Paci¿c Expedition that was charted to start in late June. The trip see Wave paddle 3,100-odd potentially risky miles to Hawaii, doing scienti¿c tests plotting pollution, personal health, wildlife, weather and more to share with the world. ‘”It’s not uncommon for expeditions to be late like this; safety comes ¿rst,” stressed Horscroft. Once Wave leaves ‘Frisco, the News Leader Pictorial will publish a site for following his expedition.

Grant could improve Saywell Cowichan Lake has its fingers crossed for a good news announcement next month. If it is what the community hopes, it could mean jobs and a series of new community amenities. Key to the proposal is a potential grant from Ministry of Social Development to the Cowichan Lake Outdoor Education Centre. If funneled to CLEC’s job creation program, it would result in $169,041 worth of projects, including the restoration of the 1918 CNR box car at the Kaatza Station Museum, and construction of a viewing platform, a public swimming and observation deck, picnic tables and public washrooms at Saywell Park. “After all the discussions we’ve had, and all the confirmation and things like that, the grant applications got in, but it’s a fairly quick turnover on this now,” CLEC manager Dalton Smith said. “We’ll know by the twentieth of August I think. Our start-up date is Sept. 11.” Six employees would be hired for the project through Community Services or Global Vocational Services, on top of project management and a foreman hired to oversee the physical construction.

CVRD launching campaign for contaminated soil control Digging in: CVRD hates being powerless to deal with contaminated soil treatment operations like SIA John McKinley

F
or all intents and purposes, the Cowichan Valley Regional District is powerless to deal with contaminated soil treatment operations within its boundaries. Directors want that to change. In the wake of the recent 4 1/2hour public meeting in relation to the controversial South Island Aggregate proposal in Shawnigan Lake, the board announced its intention to get that process underway Aug. 1. “The Cowichan Valley Regional

introduce a motion Aug. 1 that will deal with the appropriateness of allowing treatment of contaminated soil in a watershed that provides area residents with potable water. Fraser said this concern covers all watersheds where communities take domestic water supplies but he is giving his immediate attention to the SIA application for a waste-discharge permit as part of a reclamation proposal for the Stebbings Road quarry. “This is a serious issue and we wish to continue to work with the Minister of Environment and the ministry staff in a collaborative manner to consider how the CVRD bylaws and the provincial contaminated soil regulations can be harmonized to prevent future risks to major community domestic water supplies,” Fraser said in the statement. Wording of the motion has not been released. Neither has the CVRD’s plan to give it any teeth.

Major aim the creation of an arts-and-culture tax function from A1 A major goal, she noted, is a taxpayer-formula, arts-culture-heritage function through the Cowichan Valley Regional District. But arts impresario, Longevity John Falkner, was skeptical. “The CVRD’s been trying to do this for years so they can have an arts and cultural policy. It greases palms all along the line except the artists’ — how many cents on the dollar will get to the artists?” Schrader said regional grants could be applied for by local arts and heritage groups, and individuals, through a peer-review committee. “Even $2 a head for year, or $1 per $100,000 of assessed home value would be a lot of money,” she said of a CVRD function that could go to referendum. “It’s not fleecing taxpayers, it’s the price of a Starbucks coffee once a year, but we need to register all the (survey) information.”

WUNDERLICK, Edith Maud Dec. 12, 1928 to July 23, 2012
Jack was born in Lethbridge, AB. He joined the Air Force in 1950. In 1953 he met and married the love of his life, Mary. Several relocations and three children later, Jack retired from the Air Force while stationed in Moose Jaw, SK. He was then hired as a civilian member of the RCMP as a radio technician in Victoria BC and happily moved the family out to Mill Bay, BC in 1972. He enjoyed salmon ďŹ shing and had a lifelong passion for trains and model railroading. He retired from the RCMP in 1993 after a long and rewarding career. The family would like to thank the CDH 3rd oor nursing staff who ensured Dad's comfort in his ďŹ nal days. Honoring Dad's request, there will be no service.

ATCHESON, William Hamilton April 12, 1914 - July 17, 2012 A hard-working, loving, family man has passed on to his well-deserved rest at age 98. Bill was born in Boissevain, Manitoba to William Wallace Atcheson and Ida Galau. He was the third of 10 children. He was pre-deceased by 3 brothers and 5 sisters, and is survived by his sister Marie Thompson. His wife of 62 years, Marion, predeceased him in 2002. Together they raised 6 children, and enjoyed numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. He leaves behind his grieving children, Joyce Schmidt, Vivienne Renner, Lorainne (Brian) Hamilton, Larry (Judy) Atcheson, Billie (Andy) Phillips and Ron (Val) Atcheson. Also mourning his passing are his grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Kurt (Laurie) Schmidt (Spencer [Aubrey], Dallin, Kevin, Krista & Parker); Kathy East (Brandon, Jennifer & Walter); Noreen (Don) Weisner; Corinne (Jim) Lyle (Ray & Billie); Gail (Don) Maddalozzo (Maria & Clinton); Dale (Glenda) Atcheson (Tyler, Jordan & Curtis); Paul Atcheson (Jamie, Craig, Kyla & Lucas); Nicki (Allan) Waters; Steve (Danielle) Phillips (Cory & Karah); Laura Atcheson (Alyssa); and Brian Atcheson. Bill homesteaded with his parents in Saskatchewan until marrying Marion and moving out to Vancouver Island in 1940. He signed up for service during the Second World War, even though he had two daughters and was therefore exempt from the draft. He was posted as an orderly at the 22nd Royal Canadian Hospital in England. On his return, he worked at the Youbou sawmill, then became a logger for Mayo Lumber. He later worked at the Cowichan Creamery/Co-op until his retirement. He and Marion were charter members of the Vimy Western Riding Club. They also belonged to the Moose Lodge in Duncan. He was a member of the Creekside OAPO, where he enjoyed morning coffee and a game of pool. He was also a longtime member of the Royal Canadian Legion. Bill’s particular passion was for horses, but he enjoyed all aspects of farming. With the help of his small farm on Menzies Road in Duncan, where the family lived from 1950 to 1970, there was always meat on the table. After his retirement in 1970 they moved to Lumby, where he raised sheep. They then moved to Armstrong in 1973, where he continued to hobby farm. They moved to Chase in 1990. As he gradually downsized he took up raising budgies and cockatiels as a hobby. Bill became a familiar sight on the streets of Chase as he walked almost every day, winter and summer, up until 2 weeks before his passing, to the Post OfďŹ ce and to the Chase Cafe or Craig’s Bakery. He was gratiďŹ ed by the recognition he received on his 98th birthday. Although we grieve for Dad, we know that he led a good, long life, and we can ask for nothing more. A Celebration of Life will take place on Wednesday, August 1st at 1:00 pm at the Chase Community Hall, Chase, B.C.
MIDDLEMISS, June Carol A memorial tea for June will be held at the Mercury Theatre, 331 Brae Rd., Duncan, Saturday, July 28, 1 – 3 pm
Ogden, Anne Bernadette (nee Kenny) It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of my beloved Mother on July 15th 2012. She passed peacefully in her sleep into the arms of Our Lord. Like releasing a songbird, your freedom brings solace to those of us who grieve. Mom was born in Blackburn Lancs, England in 1929 and immigrated in 1953 to Canada with my late Father Roy Douglas Ogden. Although she missed England, she loved Canada with all her heart and in particular, the Island, where she lived in Chemainus and Duncan for over 30 years. We would like to thank the Sta at Menno Home Abbotsford for all the love and care they gave to my Mother in her ďŹ nal years. Mourned by Son Mark, Daughter-in-law Dawn, & Grandchildren Erika and Nikolas. She leaves behind a large and loving family in Wigan, Lancs England.
Will ye no’ come back again? Will ye no’ come back again? Better loved ye canna be... Will ye no’ come back again?
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Edith (Edie) Wunderlick. Her children and many of her grandchildren were by her side. She was predeceased by her parents, Florence and Robert Watson and her dear brother, Charlie. She is survived by her loving husband of 63 years Wilfred and their three children, Barb Lines (Peter), Randy Wunderlich (Jeanne) and Rick Wunderlich (Virginia). Edie was always drawn to the seashores and sunshine. Family times spent with her at the beaches of White Rock, Vancouver Bay, Crofton and their beloved Hornby Island, bring warm memories for her children, 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Edie was an accomplished artist and an exceptional bridge player who competed both locally and provincially in duplicate bridge. She had a love of learning and enthusiastically upgraded at Malaspina College when it was newly opened. As well, she regularly supported her grandchildren’s educational efforts. She will be dearly missed by all her family and friends. The family would like to think all of the staff of Lodge on Fourth in Ladysmith for the kind and loving care that Edie received there. They are exceptionally compassionate people. A memorial service will be provided at Sands Funeral Chapel, 187 Trunk Road in Duncan on Tuesday July 31, 2012 starting at 11 am. Flowers are gratefully declined but a donation to the Kidney Foundation of BC would be appreciated. Condolences may be shared online at www.sandsfuneral.com SANDS of DUNCAN 250-746-5212 BROWN, James Hall (Jimmy Brown) It is with overwhelming sadness that we share the news of the death of our Father, Brother, uncle and friend. Jimmy Brown. He was born In SpittalďŹ eld Perth Scotland April 14th 1940 and died peacefully at home July 18th 2012. Jim was predeceased by his parents, James Brown and Elizabeth (Betty) Brown and his eldest son Jim Brown. He will be sadly missed by his family; wife Iness Brown, daughter Rhonda Brown and son Greg Brown. His twin brother Hendry, brother Ted (Judy), sister Betha Coleman, sister Christine (Jim) and Jack Ayer; his long time childhood friend who has been with him like a true brother. As well as his ďŹ ve beautiful grand-daughters, Heather, Krista, Alyssa, Stefanie and Little Heather, seven great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews and beloved friend Sandy who was his best friend and companion. Jim enjoyed the company of his friends at the Elks in Duncan, his friends at the AA Alano Club and Duncan Manor where his spent his last years. Jim will be remembered by his laughter by all who knew him and had met him. Jimmy loved driving the highways of BC as a long haul truck driver where he met many people and loved the freedom of the open road. As at his request his ashes will be spread on the highways he spent much of his life on. At his request there will be no service. In lieu of owers we ask that you make a donation to the Food Bank as Jim liked to help others in need and he would feel honored with this choice. We Love you Jimmy Brown If you wish you can visit http://www.hwwallacecbc.com/ to leave your condolences and last words to Jimmy. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

After knocking off regularseason champion Westshore in stunning fashion earlier this month, the team dropped the best-of-three PaciÂżc Northwest Junior B Lacrosse League’s Âżnal playoff series in three straight games. The series closed Tuesday as the Saanich Tigers beat Cowichan 13-10 in Sidney.

Too many momentum-killing penalties played a major factor. “We started pretty good, but Saanich, all in all, played a better game,â€? he said. That may not have been the case earlier.

he mind is still willing and the body is still able. Valley triathlete extraordinaire Jason Sandquist entered the Ironman 70.3 World Championship quali¿er race at Lake Stevens, Washington, with every intention of reaching the pinnacle in his sport. And that’s exactly what happened. There were two qualifying spots allotted per age group and Sandquist placed second in the 40 to 44 men’s division out of 170 registered. He will now prepare for the Ironman
World Championship race in Las Vegas on Sept. 9. “My body is still able to put in a good performance when I need to,’’ conceded Sandquist. In early May, he raced Ironman at St. George, Utah and also qualiÂżed for the Hawaiian Ironman World Championships, but Sandquist decided to pass on his slot to try for a position in the event this year at Las Vegas. “Mission accomplished,’’ he indicated. — Don Bodger Jason Sandquist

Small part, big deal: Cowichan acquires Grant Nicholson for rights to Djordje Leposavic in massive six-team trade

A
week full of new faces for the Cowichan Valley Capitals continued with a young man they are calling a proven winner. Just a few months after an RBC Cup championship with the Penticton Vees, gritty forward Grant Nicholson is now a Cap. The trade was a small part in a blockbuster trade announced Tuesday that may have been the league’s most complicated. It centred in Penticton and involved eight players, six teams and three leagues. When the dust settled former Trail Smoke Eater Sam Mellor and exMarkham Waxer defenceman Rob Mann were Vees, defenceman DJ Jones exited Penticton to become a Victoria Grizzly, former Nanaimo Clipper defenceman Ryan Wells and Victoria goalie Curtis Martinu became property of the Ontario-based Waxers, and former Cap property Djordje Leposavic was headed to the Trail Smoke Eaters along with Alex Holland, who started the day in Victoria.

courtesy Cowichan Valley Capitals Grant Nicholson celebrates an RBC Cup win earlier this year with the Penticton Vees. The Caps described Nicholson as a 1993-born hardworking, shut down forward who prides himself on doing anything to help a team win. “Grant brings us a solid skill set and championship experience that combined with his off-ice commitment will make him a welcome addition to the Capitals organization,” Capitals coach and GM Jim Ingram said. Leposavic never saw Caps blue and red, posting nine goals, 23 assists and 54 penalty minutes in 48 games last year with the North Bay Trappers. The move comes on the heels of Monday’s Cowichan acquisitions of puck-moving defencemen Tyler
Mueller and Corey Scammon Nicholson had 14 points in 59 regular season games and played in all post season games for the 2012 RBC Champion Penticton Vees and was recipient of the Vees humanitarian award for his work outside the rink. The deal allowed the defending champs to reload with a pair of 20-year-olds. Mann is a 6’4” defenceman who registered 30 points in 40 games in Ontario, while Mellor returns to BCHL after a pedestrian season of college hockey in Alaska-Anchorage. But the previous two years he ripped the league for 61 goals and 130 points in 104 games in Trail.
he Cowichan Valley Capitals will be opening the home portion of their 2012-13 B.C. Hockey League schedule on the road. The oddity is occurring because of a showcase tournament being held at the Prospera Centre in Chilliwack to start the season. The Caps are the home team in Chilliwack against Trail on Saturday, Sept. 8 and then the road team there for a 2 p.m. game Sunday, Sept. 9 against Coquitlam. The remainder of the Caps’ schedule is as follows: SEPTEMBER Fri. Sept. 14 at Alberni Valley, Sat. Sept. 15 vs. Victoria, Fri. Sept. 21 vs. Nanaimo, Sat. Sept. 22 at Powell River, Sun.

Shawnigan skier proves he was good enough after all Desman Perry: B.C. Games walkon wins gold after failing to make Cowichan team Maeve Maguire
News Leader Pictorial
D
esman Perry gets a thrill out of weaving between obstacles at 34 mph on one ski while being towed behind a power boat in front of a crowd. Perry is equally thrilled about winning two gold medals and one silver medal at the B.C. Summer Games last weekend in Abbotsford for two reasons: he got a personal best, and he didn’t make the team. When the towed water sports team selections were made, Perry’s name wasn’t on the list. He wasn’t selected because he hadn’t earned enough points throughout the year as compared with those who did make the cut. Perry, who, after only two years of training in the sport, won two gold medals at the 2010 Water Ski Provincial Championships and Most Improved Male Water Ski at the 2011 Water Ski & Wakeboard Awards, was surprised he wasn’t going to the games, as were his parents. “We were kind of shocked he wasn’t picked for the team but we understand they can only pick so many kids,” said Lisa Perry, Desman’s mother. When they learned Desman could represent another region as a wild card, Lisa said, “We were thrilled. He was just happy to be going to the games.” The B.C. Games organizers let athletes enter the games as wild cards when a region doesn’t have enough athletes to ¿ll their quota. If the athlete
wins a medal, the points are allocated to the guest region. Perry entered the games as a wild card for another region (he doesn’t know which) and earned that region 29 points for his gold medal in slalom, another gold medal in trick skiing, and a silver medal in the jumping event. Desman gets his medals, the region gets the points and Vancouver Island region gets nothing. Which might not seem like a big deal, except when the difference between ¿rst and second place in the overall medal standings is one point, as was the case this year. Fraser Valley beat Vancouver Island by one point. All that is irrelevant to Desman, who enjoyed being at the games as much, if not more, than the competition. “I found half the time you weren’t even thinking about the skiing. I was just having a good time with friends.” Desman, who is humble in his victory, said it could have been any one of his competitors at the top of the podium. “All my competition and me are pretty much the same level so it’s always back and forth.” Dwayne Perry, Desman’s father, is impressed by how easily his son took to the sport. “He practises hard. His heart’s in it. He’s gifted, that’s what it is. He’s one of those kids who picks up a golf club and the ball goes straight.” Dwayne also recognizes that good talent is rewarded only with great support. “He gets a lot of coaching too. He’s had a lot of help from Cory Bate and others to get his technique right.” Perry’s was just one local watersport highlight for local wake skimmers. Jed Leech, a 16-year-old from Cobble Hill is Canada’s top-ranked water-ski jumper in his age group, posted a winning jump of 137 feet, just shy

Cowichan skier Desman Perry may not have been able to wear his home colours in the B.C. Games last weekend, but he still made his community proud. of his personal best of 141 feet. He went three-for-three in the water-ski events, also winning gold in the slalom and tricks competitions on Saturday. Ben Leech, Jed’s younger brother, completed
a family sweep in the jumps, winning the boys 2 division with a distance of 77 feet. Silver and bronze medalists were Perry and Jake Metcalfe of Cobble Hill. — with a ¿le from the Abbotsford News

Cowichan-Jamaican connection set to harvest some Äne reggae
J
amaica comes to Cowichan Friday with the biggest collection of reggae the valley has seen in a decade — if not ever. The Island Reggae Fest debuts July 27 at the Eagles Hall with a line-up of artists promoters say would be the envy of any big city. Brought to the island by Kady “the Zion Bell” and his company One Love Canada Entertainment, the roster includes artists such as Hawkeye and Bryan Art. Kady has been a constant player on the West Coast reggae scene since moving to Vancouver from Montreal in 2000. When asked to put together a festival line-up for Vancouver this year, he decided to share the creative wealth and plan a mini-tour that includes Duncan and Salt Spring Island. “I’m talking international stars, so it’s a big thing. And they all agreed to come and do these smaller shows, which is rare,” Kady said.
As Zion Bell, Kady plays drums, guitar, bass and piano, does vocals, and writes all his own music and lyrics. He can therefore speak from the musician’s perspective when he says the festival is “by artists, for artists.” The bill includes six full hours of music performed by 10 different acts. “I’m a reggae artist. All I want to see is that love vibe that reggae brings,” he said. Hawkeye and Brian Art will share the headline honours with back-up from Natural Flavas. Hawkeye has some 20 years in the dance hall under his belt, and is mixing that experience into the roots scene for a hot new hybrid sound. He’s topped the charts in the Caribbean and the U.K., collaborated with A Tribe Called Quest, and toured festivals across North America and Europe. Hawkeye is known for his signature growl, witty lyrics and charismatic presence on stage. Kady promised the opening acts will get the
ro, Fredlocks and more will bring different music Àavours in rotation through the night, including a taste of dub plate, the sound that’s currently all the rage in Jamaica. The all-ages event is planned to be kid and family friendly, with extra security touring the hall grounds to discourage partying and keep things safe. “We want to grow it from within the community,” Kady said. “If we come back every year with this big of a lineup, it’s going to grow for sure.”

NOTICE OF TEMPORARY USE PERMIT APPLICATION APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY USE PERMIT Applicable to Electoral Area A – Mill Bay/Malahat Public Notice is hereby given of Temporary Use Permit Application No. 1-A-11TUP which proposes to permit rock processing on 8.0 hectares of the lands shown outlined on the map below legally described as District Lot 72, Malahat District, except those parts in Plans 518RW and 49974 and VIP86314.
Malahat Holdings Ltd. has applied to obtain a Temporary Use Permit for a three year period to allow rock processing on 8.0 hectares of the 45 hectare subject property located on the east side of the Trans Canada Highway. The processed rock will primarily be used for road construction, infrastructure and lot development on adjacent land north of the site. Primary access to the site will be from the Trans Canada Highway, which is located along the property’s western boundary. The property is serviced internally by existing gravel logging roads. The existing access to the site from the Trans Canada Highway must be gated and locked when the site is not being utilized. The hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with no quarry operations occurring on Saturdays or Sundays. No permanent buildings or structures associated with this operation will be constructed onsite. Visual impacts and noise stemming from the operation will be reduced through the use of a vegetated buffer/barrier and stockpiles of materials. Water will be sprayed regularly on access roads to minimize dust impacts. When the operation is complete the rock quarry will be covered with clean ¿ll and seeded with grass. The approximate 500 metre by 200 metre vegetated buffer along the western boundary of the property will be retained as a condition of the temporary use permit. Onsite storage of explosives, fuels, lubricants or other dangerous or hazardous materials is prohibited. Should you believe your interests to be affected by the Temporary Use Permit, you may submit your comments in writing to the CVRD Planning and Development Of¿ce, at 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC from Friday, July 20, 2012, to Wednesday, August 1, 2012 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Any comments received by this time will be considered by the Regional Board at the August 1, 2012 Board meeting when the resolution to issue the temporary use permit will be considered by the Regional Board. A copy of the Temporary Use Permit application and relevant support material may be examined at the CVRD Planning and Development Of¿ce, at 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC from Friday, July 20, 2012, to Wednesday, August 1, 2012 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. For further information, please contact Dana Leitch, Planner II, by telephone at 250-746-2620, by email at danaleitch@cvrd.bc.ca or at the Planning and Development Department located at 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC.

Chemainus decides to just Beat it The beat goes on in Chemainus. ArtBeat, the Friday evening interactive artwalk and street party that dancing into mural town in June continues tonight and every Friday. According to organizers, the event has proven to be a real crowd pleaser since it launched on June 22.
ON STAGE
In sunshine and even drizzle, the enthusiastic crowds have enjoyed the eclectic mix of visual and performing arts from the region, they said in a media release. The beat for Aug. 3 will be created by West African dancer Lynn Weaver and musical group Dave Young & Friends. Later in the month, look for the accordion
group the Gypsy Belles, local up-andcoming singer Evan Miller, Johanna Knight and Friends, and the Saidi Sisters of D’Nile, a gypsy/middle eastern dance troupe led by Deb Shields. More information, and an up-to-date schedule can be found at ArtBeatChemainus.com.

ock of the Woods will be even greener and cleaner this year, but it de¿nitely won’t be leaner. Cowichan’s second-annual rock festival has expanded to three days from two at its new Glenora Farm location, and is boosting both the number of bands and tickets. And the line-up includes acts like Vince Vaccaro, Rococode, Acres of Lions and Pickwick. “Glenora Farm lends a hand to growing the festival to a larger size,” ROTW organizer Dave Bains said. He explained that at last year’s Bamberton site, crowds were limited to 500 people. “And we’re actually in the woods this year,” Bains added. “We were in and out of them last year.” So there will be more music, and more trees, but also less trash this year. “Glenora Farm’s mandate is essentially the same as ours,” Bains said. “Respect where you’re coming from, and how you’re affecting the land. “We’ve always tried to be as environmental“We’re actually ly friendly as possible, is much harder in the woods this which than it sounds.” year.

There’ll be a free water program for those who bring their own water canteen, and all beer sold in the beer garden will be in cans. He also promises more food options available on-site this year, and activities such as beach volleyball and yoga. But the main event, of course, is the music. “We had more than 400 applicants this year to play the festival, so it was kind

of picking and choosing a lot more than anything,” Bains said, citing Pickwick as a personal favourite. “I think we are very, very lucky to have them for Rock of the Woods.” There are approximately 30 acts performing between Friday and Sunday, and many of them have Cowichan connections. “We’ll also see some collaborations with musicians from around Canada playing on stage with one another, and that’ll be pretty
interesting,” Bains said. “Saturday is going to be amazing — that’s the big day of the festival — but we’ve added Sunday with a line-down acoustic day and I think we’ll see a lot fun happening around that.” Bains says he’s most excited about, though, about the festival-goers themselves. “Last year we had such a positive reaction, just with how the attendees treated everything around them, and reacted to the
