Brand new park view? News Leader Pictorial ¿le

North Cowichan approves Mount Prevost park in principle Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

proposed Mount Prevost park will offer parking, safety features, washrooms and better access to the peak’s war cairn after council’s initial nod to the plan Wednesday. But big strings to council’s approval in principle include community fundraising, legal permission, a renovation and maintenance budget, and much more before Prevost becomes a municipal park. “Council’s aware of its tight budget situation,” Mayor Jon Lefebure said of the park pitched last

year by Dave Darwin of the Duncan Daybreak Rotary Club and discussed Wednesday by council. Seniors, students, challenged folks and others usually can’t access Prevost now. “It’s not accessible for 99 per cent of people in the valley. Tourism Cowichan, stargazers and movie people would love this park,” Darwin said. “Dave said he was keen to raise money to move the project ahead. Our parks and rec manager, Ernie Mansueti, saw this park as a medium priority,” Lefebure said. “We hope Ernie can interest groups like Dave’s to raise the money,” the mayor said of about $150,000 in capital costs, plus some $40,000 in annual maintenance bills.

“We’ve made no commitment to include a budget item for this.” Darwin said the next step is approaching valley service clubs, non-pro¿t groups, and senior government for money or in-kind labour. “We have to sit with North Cowichan and see where we need to go.” There’s lots of staff work to be done on this too, Lefebure noted. Jobs include establishing a lease arrangement with the landowner where the War Memorial Cairn is located. But that land was owned by The Trustees of the Cowichan Mountain Memorial, dissolved in 1970. Council believes that seven acres is now Crown

land, and council will try and gain tenure of the site. “This can take a year or more to process through the province and involves noti¿cation and First Nations’ consultation,” Mansueti’s Jon Lefebure: report says. If an application were suc- fundraising needed cessful, the province would likely require annual rent and insurance. That deal could usher an enlarged parking lot, adding washrooms during peak seasons, and creating an ongoing maintenance program for trails and designated park areas. more on A9

Capsule Comments

reast cancer doesn’t affect only older women. The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that women between the ages of 40 and 49 talk to their doctors about breast cancer screening. For women aged 50 to 70, mammograms are recommended every two years. Women over 70 should speak to their doctors about screening frequency.

With all the talk about pollution from hydrocarbons, it’s comforting to know that a product with the name “white petrolatum” is free from any impurities that may cause cancer. This product has been around for over 150 years. We know it as its brand name, Vaseline. The internet makes shopping very easy and more people are doing their buying this way. However, buying drugs on-line is not recommended. There have been many reports about counterfeit drugs being sold on-line and the purchaser has no idea whether the label indicates what is truly in the bottle or not. Don’t take chances with your health.

Cowichan Valley MLA recuperating after surgery to address heart ailment

Got a comment or a story? email editor@cowichannewsleader.com phone 250-746-4471

UP FRONT

Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley had successful surgery to deal with a heart condition last week in Victoria, his staff says in Wednesday’s release. “Bill is doing well and is expected to make a full recovery by the middle of March,” staffer Doug Morgan notes of the former forest-union boss, and current NDP member who’ll ﬁnish his ﬁrst term with the May 14 provincial vote.

“Bill is looking forward to getting back on his feet and returning to serve his constituents as soon as possible. Bill would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.” Routley will not be doing press interviews during his rest and recovery period, Morgan added.

Road likely, but it’s going to take a while Stoney Hill: North Cowichan councillors may all want a road, but a lot more consultation and discussion is going to happen ﬁrst Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

orth Cowichan council spent 4 1/2 hours Wednesday wrestling with how to build a safe Stoney Hill Road while preserving Maple Bay Peninsula’s rural character — and satisfying a legal deal calling for the road. But building that $2.5-million road, for citizen and emergency access through the municipal forest reserve, won’t likely happen any time soon. Wednesday’s debate also heard a reminder about hearing Cowichan Tribes’ cultural and archaeological values, on the peninsula and its cliffs. Those issues are set for discussion with tribal elders at month’s end. “Cowichan Tribes has a lengthy internal process,” Tribes spokeswoman Tracy Flem-

What council decided Acting on four staff recommendations Wednesday, council agreed to consider, at its Feb. 6 meeting, a local-area service function to build the $2.5-million gravel road between Genoa Bay Road and the ecologically sensitive peninsula’s Fairweather Road subdivision. Council also adopted Councillor Ruth Hartmann’s amendment for a staff review of the peninsula’s zoning to ensure land uses follow rural intent of the official community plan. That zoning review could take a year or more. Budgeting for the peninsula’s Neighbourhood & Resource Management Plan, in council’s 2014-2018 ledger, will also be aired after a ratepayer-hosted Jan. 29 meeting in Maple Bay fire hall, council agreed. And Councillor John Koury’s motion to study the forest reserve’s money-generating land-use options — spanning parkland, environmental research by VIU, and other potential uses — was also passed. His motion about “finding the reserve’s best and highest use” sprang from staff’s recommendation to probe making the 755-acre forest reserve into parkland. Municipal forester Daryl Frank will report the reserve’s potential timber values to council.

ing said, noting some 50 known archeological sites, plus 30-odd traditional-use sites, in Stoney Hill. “This meeting at the end of January is an initial meeting of many. We’re not against the road per se, but potential impacts on our historical uses in the area.” Road-rejection rallier Icel Dobell handed council another 230 resident alternate-approval process forms, bringing the total to 1,149, calling for a road referendum or council’s scrapping the road plan — still shy of the required, 2,150. “We all want a road, “ said Councillor Ruth Hartmann. “We’re just arguing over the width and the costs.” The proposed main road measures eight metres; ¿ve metres on the arterial West Shore and Fairweather roads, and on a trunk road to Paul Bourke’s property as described in his legal settlement with council. John Mackay, municipal engineer, noted both roads are legal, but don’t meet the municipality’s usual engineering standards. Hartmann and Councillor Kate Marsh expressed fears the road will lead to subdivision and development — or worse, an embarrassing white elephant such as the Cliffs Over Maple Bay — unless council acts now to preserve the peninsula. “The road violates our OCP policy of not encouraging rural sprawl and violates our road standards,” Hartmann said. Mayor Jon Lefebure cautioned downzoning peninsula property to prevent development could be legally risky. But Marsh argued for saving the area’s rare coastal Douglas ¿r stands. “I’m not necessarily against downzoning.” Planner Scott Mack’s report cites various safeguards council already has to control peninsula property density and rural character. For example, the peninsula currently has 43 homes. That number could rise under current zoning, with the new road, to 234, and a density of one home per 9.2 acres. Council failed to agree on a density de¿nition of rural character. But all the citizen reaction, talk, and some action by council, gained applause from longtime bay resident Barbara Stone. “The democratic process is working very

Tough questions, tougher answers Community input collected: increased costs and declining enrolment make for a difﬁcult SD79 budgeting process Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

t’s no secret School District 79 is facing some dif¿cult decisions in an era of declining enrolment and increased costs before its 2013-14 budget is formulated. Community Consultation sessions are preparing the public for potential harsh realities about cuts and to ¿nd potential solutions. The second Saturday of sessions opened the doors to public feedback for two-hour meetings in the south zone at George Bonner Middle School and the central zone at Quamichan Middle School. The general mood was positive from both the perspective of the public and SD79 administrators. “It is my assessment that the presentation was wellreceived by participants which meant a positive attitude towards answering the questions presented,’’ offered Gerry Masuda,

What would you let go of in order to keep the most important programs, services or facilities? .

Some lively discussion followed. “People who came were there to contribute,’’ said Rhodes. “I think we got positive feedback with the format.’’ Rhodes said on Feb. 6

the district will roll out some potential ideas. He added that’s necessary because a 90-day consultation process is required for decisions to be made in May if any school closures are considered. One way to solve the reduced school budget allocations could not be discussed, Masuda pointed out. “It is for our provincial government to reverse its tax cut policy and clawing back the tax cuts to the richest individuals and corporations since 2001. These tax cuts caused the government de¿cits reÀected in declining school budgets for SD79.’’

The Cowichan Valley Regional District has is now accepting applications for those interested in serving as a volunteer member of the CVRD’s Environment Commission.

omentum from the Indian Day School class action suit from Winnipeg will be rolling through Cowichan come Jan. 22. An update is expected from the lawyers pushing for the suit on Tuesday as well as plenty of information on the specs, the history and background as well as who’s eligible to join, con¿rmed Kathleen Mazur of the law ¿rm involved, Alghoul and Associates. “There are still a lot of questions out there,” Mazur said. “And it’s not clear yet if the government will compensate those who attended both day schools and residential schools.” The suit itself and interest from those involved will hopefully provide answers to just that. And that’s the hopes of Cowichan elder and former chief Philomena Alphonse. “I believe day scholars went through the same as the residential survivors,” Alphonse said last week. “I think we didn’t talk about it and I think it’s

“OUR EVERYDAY PRICES ARE THEIR SALE PRICES”

The City of Duncan is currently conducting a review of its Development Cost Charges (DCC) Bylaw. The study will update the City’s current DCC rates as well as investigate related issues.

Peter W. Rusland

In British Columbia, Development Cost Charges are a common means of ﬁnancing growth-related infrastructure. They are one-time charges that local governments can levy on new subdivisions and building at the time of approval to assist in ﬁnancing the cost of upgrading or providing off-site infrastructure to support new development.

uesday’s labour action by B.C. transit workers will not affect HandyDART schedules, and the popular Victoria-to-Cowichan commuter service will continue as scheduled on Jan. 22, transit agents told the Oak Bay News. But folks using buses in the capital that day should plan other rides. The Canadian Auto Workers Union, Local 333 — representing some 650 workers — plans to keep buses, run by the Crown corporation, parked for 24 hours during Tuesday’s walkout. The move is expected to be felt by folks across the region, from Sooke to Sidney, the News Leader Pictorial’s sister paper says. A transit strike in 2001 lasted two weeks before being resolved at the bargaining table. A strike in 1984 lasted three months before the province legislated an end to the dispute.

City Council is seeking public input on this subject. A public Open House will be held as follows: Location: Time: Date:

City Hall Council Chambers, 200 Craig Street, Duncan, BC 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm (presentation at 6:30 pm) January 24, 2013 (Thursday)

But he said Mansueti has stated a proper park might reduce destruction with more use by responsible folks. Darwin agreed. “How do you control an area if you can’t get to it? This would be better access for protection of the mountain, and for forest ﬁres. The uses just multiply.” Lefebure wants a safe, controlled park with little environmental impact. “I love the natural trails without railings and where you don’t have to take any trees down. Somewhere there’s a good compromise.”

Suit over denied casino winnings a waste of time Toss it out: Courts need to close real cases

nless it is extolling the cuteness of kittens, or the beauty of an August sunrise over the the Gulf Islands, chances are pretty good a lot of people are going to disagree with an editorial, and often times disagree strongly. But we’re willing to bet this one is closer to sunshine and kittens than most. A lawsuit by problem gamblers about a pair of denied casino jackpots should be tossed out of court before the ink on the writ is dry. Two gamblers, including Duncan’s Michael Lee, are suing the B.C. Lottery Corporation for being denied a comBanned users bined $77,000 in winnings — in Lee’s don’t deserve case, $42,000 from a slot machine in Duncan. The reason for the denial was jackpots simple: each man was banned from BCLC casinos at their own request. Lee and Hamidreza Haghdust were both enrolled in the BCLC’s voluntary self-exclusion program, designed to bar gambling addicts from casinos, essentially for their own good. Each snuck in, won jackpots and were rejected when they tried to cash in, and the company realized who they were. They argue the BCLC was at fault for not keeping them out of the casinos. What’s next? Escaped convicts arguing they aren’t guilty of any crimes committed while on the lam because it was the community’s fault for letting them escape jail? Corrupt politicians washing their hands of graft because it was the voters’ fault they were in of¿ce in the ¿rst place? It would be funny if our court system wasn’t so clogged that real criminals are walking free because judges are unable to hear their cases in a fair amount of time. Can the public sue the plaintiffs for wasting our court system’s precious time?

We say:

Seeing both sides of: more talk on Stoney Hill Road The case against

The case for It’s been clear for weeks that simply halting the road through Stoney Hill would leave a lot of people angry. It has also been clear that simply pushing it through would also leave many upset. So taking more time to address and reconcile the concerns of both parties is warranted. Maybe North Cowichan will not be able to please everyone, but why not try?

North Cowichan councillor Jen Woike listens to discussion about Stoney Hill Wednesday.

Idle No More divide doesn’t feel like a good thing Patrick Hrushowy

News Leader Pictorial

he Idle No More movement has raised more questions for me than answers. These question range all over the map — some of them policy and governance oriented, and some very personal. The biggest and most troubling is: How do I have a relationship with a collective, or a group of people who set themselves apart as Everyone has to be predifferent? pared to look for comIf I were the one setting them prehensive solutions apart as different and acting on my perception of that difference, I strongly suspect I was would be labelled as racist.

Hrushowy

Yet, what I am hearing is there are several hundred thousand people across the country insisting they are different. I have a close friend who is a status Native (his term) whose race, or mine, rarely comes up when we talk. I relate to him as an individual who happens to have Native heritage, just like I happen to have Ukrainian heritage. He is proud of his ethnic roots, as am I. He lives his life as a unique individual, as do I, not as some expression of genetic history. There is no “us” versus “them” in our relationship. But everything I see from the Idle No More movement creates a huge divide between Native people and other Canadians The protest signs that use the term “whites” as a pejorative jump out at me. Some threaten to crash our national economy — “bring it to its knees.” What do I do with that? Am I supposed to stand by as less than two

As much as some people want to confuse the issue, this debate is simply about a majority of residents wanting safe road access to their homes and being willing to pay signiﬁcant money out of their own pockets to make it happen. The landowners, and the taxpayers have already said yes. The opponents are not going to change their minds. Just get on with it.

COWICHAN LEADERS

per cent of Canada’s population blackmails the rest? Am I impressed that various anti-development and anti-Harper factions are hijacking the Idle No More movement for their own political purposes; free-riding on a movement protesting legitimate Native issues? What should happen? There must be accelerated efforts to end the egregious poverty that exists on far too many reserves. But, everyone involved has to be prepared to look for comprehensive solutions — not just more money dumped on small groups of people ill-equipped to manage millions of dollars in handouts. Treaties must be concluded in B.C. — it is past time to get the job done. Treaty making has become an industry unto itself and the folks involved have to transform themselves in treaty concluders. Governance is a pressing issue. What we have seen during the past weeks shows that

there is no one First Nation. We have a collection of groups of people, but they critically lack the capacity for speaking with one voice. There is the Assembly of First Nations but leaders of provincial Native groups openly defy the national chief and issue thundering calls for “warriors” to prepare to take the ¿ght to the streets. All of this scares me. I feel ill at ease when I go downtown. I pass someone on the street and wonder if this is one of the “warriors” who wants to put my livelihood at risk to achieve his or her demands. I don’t like feeling this way.

Should children be allowed in local dog parks? “Ten out of 20 kids should be allowed in there. I got bitten when I was a kid. Dog parks aren’t for people training guard dogs, then letting them loose near little children.”

“Yes, but under supervision. Owners need to be more responsible for their dogs, and who it’s interacting with.”

Idle No More is about a spiritual awakening

Somenos Creek dog park incident sparks considerable debate Last week’s story about the toddler bitten in North Cowichan’s dog park sparked more online commenting than any story in recent memory. Here are some samples: Dear editor Parents should keep an eye on their children and should use common sense. Pets are pets. Some don’t like kids, some don’t like people they don’t know. At a dog park, you’re put into this situation. This could be attributed to pure responsibility. What good is this if it prevents children from playing with their own pet? There are many breeds, temperaments and owners in the dog parks. It is a good idea to keep small kids out of the park and younger children supervised. It is also unfair to the dogs if they have to be leashed during their play and exercise time because the dog owner is afraid his or her dog may hurt a child either intentionally or unintentionally. The dog owner is at fault too, however I wouldn’t take a child to the dog park. The restrictions they are proposing make sense to me. These are dog parks, not playgrounds. Nicole Penn

More than 200 students, 44 per cent of the school’s enrolment, were absent from George Bonner complaining of a strange illness causing fever, tummy upset, headache and sore throat that had triggered up to 50 percent absenteeism at some island schools.

Newly elected school board chair Joan Gillatt, who was nominated by trustees Gerry Allester and Phyllis Bomford, said she was pleased to be chairman during the Year of the Child. “That’s why we’re here. For the children in our school district,” she said.

t’s hard to recall during these golden years of musicals annually gracing the stage of the Cowichan Theatre that there was a 10-year local drought of the genre during the 1970s. In a January 1979 Leader column, I recalled past triumphs when the Duncan Musical Club mounted extravangazas like Showboat, Oklahoma! and South Paci¿c during the 1960s. My ¿rst foray onto the Duncan stage aka the Cow High gym was in an uproarious pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk in 1969. After Jack came The Sound of Music followed one year later by a colourful and costly My Fair Lady that drew packed audiences here and in Victoria. One last try after Lady — a half-hearted attempt at The Boy Friend — ¿zzled after a few rehearsals. “... Despite having to rehearse in the freezing cold of the basement of St. Ann’s convent (Providence Farm) and being practically honour-bound to make it through ice, hail wind...there really is something about the smell of the greasepaint and the roar of the crowd which excites the senses and clamours for more of the same,” I wrote. A year or so after Cowichan Theatre opened in late 1979, the annual musicals started again. And I’m looking forward to Oklahoma! next month.

Author says even physics — or make that Äzzix — can be fun Science experiment: Local author helps students understand physics Caitlin McKay

News Leader Pictorial

hysics is not just the province of people with an IQ in the postal code of Stephen Hawking. It can be understood by anyone. Well, almost anyone, according to local author and educator Cynthia Montgomery. Montgomery, says while this subject can intimidating to students, with proper teaching anyone can understand. To prove her point, Montgomery wrote the e-book Fizzyx for Fun: Exploring Physics Through Experiments and Creative Play. “I think it is a good resource for home-schoolers. It would be a good resource for teachers who are teaching science to intermediate grades, as

Cynthia Montgomery well as students who are interested in physics,” Montgomery said. “I’ve made all the experiments simple and using common household materials.” The content of the book meets many of the prescribed science learning outcomes for Grades 6 to 9. Montgomery received her Bachelours of Education from the University of Vancouver Island and while at the university, took engineering physics courses. “With that I took my education degree and I found myself at the end of

the day running back to my physics professor. “There is so much emphasis on science education and although I don’t have a doctorate in physics, this book is for intermediates and since I came to it as a non-scientist it helps me to explain it to students and other non-scientists,” Montgomery explained. Montgomery maintains that when taught correctly, this science doesn’t have to be everyone’s least favourite class. She hopes her book will build up students so they feel con¿dent in their understanding of this complicated topic. “My goal is to do away with the intimidation people feel about physics and help them discover that it is something understandable and enjoyable. Even beautiful,” she said. “It’s about breaking these concepts into easy bits that children can grasp and building on that.” Fizzyx for Fun: Exploring Physics Through Experiments and Creative Play is available on Amazon.com and Apple.com.

The roughly six- by threefoot bas relief was created in acrylic with a little foam core forming a skeletal structure on the largest pieces. Acrylic mediums, gesso, and pearlized white paint highlight relief elements in the experimentalmethod work called Etude in White. Ice Bear will next use these new techniques on a larger commissioned piece. • Local painter Roxanne Nunweiler says she’s happy with response to downtown’s Pop-up Gallery on Craig Street.

Elizabethan drama central to the opera Maria Stuarda The battle for power in Elizabethan England? It’s tough to ﬁnd better fodder for an opera, at least Gaetano Donizetto thought so. Donizetti’s intensely dramatic opera Maria Stuarda is being screened at the Cowichan Theatre Saturday as the latest edition in the Live at the Met series.

Joyce DiDonato (left) stars as Mary, Queen of Scots in the ﬁrst-ever Met production of Maria Stuarda, while South African soprano Elza van den Heever makes her Met debut as Mary’s rival, the formidable Queen Elizabeth I, and Matthew Polenzani sings Leicester, the nobleman caught between the two. Maurizio Benini conducts a cast that also

includes Matthew Rose as Talbot, Mary’s jailer, and Joshua Hopkins as Elizabeth’s advisor Cecil. The production is by David McVicar, who also staged last season’s production of Donizetti’s Tudor drama Anna Bolen. The performance begins at 9:55 a.m. Phone 250-748-7529 or visit cowichantheatre.bc.ca for ticket information.

ank Sands Àew at least 18 different helicopters in his Àying career of as many years. And he’s lucky to be alive to talk about it. Sands as written a book called A Wolf’s Moon, published by Agio Publishing House in Victoria, about his adventures Àying whirlybirds all around B.C., from as far north as Stewart to the west coast of Vancouver Island. Sands graduated from Cowichan High in 1956 and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force when he was 18 years old. “My grades weren’t that great but I had high aptitude. You needed perfect physical health. Perfect eyesight and good hearing. If your legs were too long, you’d be rejected as a jet pilot. If you had to eject, your knees would hit the front console.” Sands said in 1964 there were massive layoffs in the Air Force. He was one of those who found himself unemployed. “The government decided there were 1,000 excess air crew in the Air Force. We got three months notice and three months’ extra pay.” Sands said a year later, the RCAF was short 1,000 pilots and navigators. “We all got letters saying they wanted us back in. The reason for the shortage is that people who thought they had a career thought, “If this can happen to Hank Sands, this can happen to someone else.” The American and Canadian airlines were suddenly short pilots. You can imagine being thrown out one year later being asked to come back in.” The change of direction sent Sands to Vancouver where he trained for the

I lasted for six or eight months and had two accidents and got ¿red on the fourth of December 1965.” Sands attributes the accidents to a lack of experience and bad luck, and after which, he was afraid to Ày. “It was dif¿cult to go back Àying. In the Air Force, if you had an accident they would get you back up Àying within the hour. You lose your nerve. That didn’t happen. I was months without Àying.” After working for as a labourer at a CPR station, Sands was hired by Klondike Helicopters in Calgary, Alberta, where he found his wings again. “Fortunately the chief pilot with Klondike was good. They did hire me and I didn’t have another accident in 11 years.” In A Wolf’s Moon, Sands shares stories and pictures of his adventures in the sky, including an horri¿c accident in the Bugaboos. “I have a picture of one of the wrecked helicopters in the book, and I describe that whole story in great detail. People who read it ask me, “What are you still doing here?” It’s a dangerous game. You’re in close proximity with trees and rocks. Ninety percent of airline accidents happen in take offs and landings. That’s all you’re doing in a helicopter.” When the book was published, Hank was worried about his fellow pilots reading the book for fear they would catch him out on facts. His friend and pilot Bruce Payne was the ¿rst to read it. “I Àew many years with Bruce. He called me up out of the blue a few months after the book was published. He said, “I heard about your book and I want to read it.” I thought, “Oh no, a helicopter pilot wants to read my book.” I paced the Àoor for three days. He phoned me up and said he couldn’t put the book down. That was the best compliment I could ever have.”

Reverend Jack Farr

July 12, 1924 - January 14, 2013 Jack died peacefully in the palliative care unit of the Nanaimo General Hospital. He had recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He was born and raised in Brantford Ontario. That’s where he met and married Catherine (Baker). Their first kiss was on their first date on New Year’s Eve 70 years ago in 1942. He enlisted in the RCAF at the age of 19 and was commissioned in 1944. Jack was a co-pilot of a B24 Liberator based in India. He proudly served his country in the Burma Theater during WWll. Jack and Catherine married in October 1946. Their loving relationship thrived for 66 years. He drove a Coca-Cola truck in the Brantford area after high school, went to war, had his own insurance business for six years and then re-enlisted in the RCAF during the Korean conflict. He was posted as a flying instructor to the air bases in Summerside PEI, Trenton Ontario and Centralia Ontario. He felt the call to the ministry while in the Air Force. Jack`s first churches were Mt. Brydges Baptist and Caradoc Zion Baptist in southwestern Ontario. Next was Dufferin Street Baptist in Toronto, Grandview Baptist in Vancouver and Crescent Heights Then hhe bbecame the Manitoba Area Minister for the Baptist Union of Western BBaptist i iin CCalgary. l Th Canada, based in Winnipeg. A return to Calgary had him as Director of Stewardship, Director of the Baptist Union of Western Canada Foundation and Director of Church Growth for the Baptist Union. The next challenge came in Vancouver as Minister of Pastoral Care at First Baptist Church. During the ensuing years, he unretired several times to become Interim Pastor of Calvary Baptist in Chemainus BC on Vancouver Island, a position that resulted in Jack and Catherine`s final move. They settled in Ladysmith. He also served in an interim capacity at churches in Inuvik Northwest Territories, Chemainus again, Duncan and Victoria. Jack is survived by his loving wife Catherine and his children Ted Farr (Terrie), Frances Schneidmiller (Merv), Doug Farr, Shirley Farr and Cathy Kokot (Cal). Jack was proud of his five grandchildren, Jonathan Farr who died tragically in 2008, Natalie (Farr) Murphy, Megan and Nathan Schneidmiller and Jarrod Kokot. His one great grandchild is Jonathan, son of Natalie and Rob Murphy. Jack lived his life with no regrets. He served his God, his family, his church family and his country with pride and purpose. He was a leader in everything he set out to do. The Celebration of his Life will take place Friday, January 18th, 2013, 2 p.m. at Calvary Baptist Church, Chemainus, B.C. In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to the Jack and Catherine Farr Endowment Fund at The Baptist Union Development Foundation, #21-2236 Folkestone Way, West Vancouver, B.C. V7S 2X7

DUKESHIRE, Frances Born 1925 in Rossway, Digby, Nova Scotia, Frances passed away peacefully January 14th at the Cowichan District Hospital following long-term illness. One of three children of Guy and Winnifred Haight, she was predeceased by husband Ron, sister Luana and leaves behind sister Lorna, daughter June (Roger) Painter, and granddaughters Laura (Manj), Tonia (Wade), sisters-in-law Marion and Marjorie and families, nieces, nephews and cousins. Frances was a quiet but strong presence in our lives, a caring and amazing lady who loved handicrafts, reading, learning, discovering, armchair travelling, and all books, with a passion. She and Ron were married in 1949, living ﬁrst on an old farmstead in Waldeck, N.S., and later in Deep Brook/ Clementsport, before moving west to B.C. in 1982, settling in Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island. They enjoyed traveling and camping in Canada and the U.S. and spending many happy times with family and friends in the lovely Cowichan Valley. We will so miss you Frances, Mom, Gram; you will forever be in our hearts. God Bless. On line condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

WEBBER, Betty

April 26, 1926 - January 8, 2013 This beautiful lady passed away peacefully on January 8th, 2013 at the Palliative Care room in Chemainus, surrounded by her children and sister, after a short battle with cancer. Betty will be deeply missed by her sister Myffy; children Rick (Shirley), Gwen (Doug), Harvey, and Chip (Bonnie); 15 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Albert; sisters Allison and Frances, and son Dennis (Cindy). Born in Vancouver, Betty moved to Vancouver Island in her early 20’s. In 1948, she met the love of her life and she was engaged 2 weeks later and they married before the end of that year. After raising 5 children, Betty and her sister, Myffy started a painting business to support her passion for traveling and they continued to paint into her 80’s. When she was a teenager, she took up bowling and continued to do so into her 70’s. Betty was also an avid bridge player for over 50 years and made some of her closest friends through these two hobbies. Betty’s greatest joy was her family. An amazing mother to 5 and an unforgettable Nana to many, she treasured her get-togethers to play cards and games and holiday gatherings with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We will miss her forever. A Celebration of her life will be held January 24th, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. at Sands Funeral Home in Nanaimo, B.C. with a reception to follow at the Chemainus Fire Hall. In lieu of ﬂowers, we request donations be made to the Chemainus Palliative Care Unit.

INFORMATION

BURNSIDE, Eldon Glenwood Oct. 13, 1940 – Jan. 2, 2013 Eldon passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus at Cowichan District Hospital leaving behind his wife of 27 years Valerie Burnside (Scott-Polson). Survived by children Brenda, Gary (Sylvan), Tammy, Gerry, George, Steve Keel (Rebecca), Brian (Laura) by grandchildren Khristy (Andrew), William, Luke, Tyler, Kelsey (Brandon), Justin, Brooke, Taylor, Meghan, Damon, Dane and Sadie, great grand-child Bentley (to arrive) and sister Carol McLean. He is also remembered by aunts, cousins, and his many friends in both the trucking and draft horse/farming circles on Vancouver Island. He is pre-deceased by his parents Harry Burnside and Frances Parr and grandchildren Karla Keel and Timothy Burnside. Eldon was born in Kinistino, SK before moving to Nipawin, SK as a child, Duncan, BC as a teen, and then Sidney, BC as a young adult. Driving was a huge part of his life whether driving gravel trucks, draft horse hitches or teaching others to do one or the other. In 45 years of driving truck for the Bowcott family companies and then for himself, he saw many changes on the Saanich Peninsula and built life-long relationships with customers, peers and residents alike. He was always excited to introduce observers to draft horses through his showmanship driving multiple horse hitches at various country fairs, weddings, graduations and opening for the RCMP Musical Ride. Celebration of Life was held at Mary Winspear Centre, 2243 Beacon Ave. Sidney on Sunday, January 13th at 2:00pm. In lieu of ﬂowers the family requests donations in Eldon’s name to “Jeneece Place “ (www.jeneeceplace.org) To offer condolences please go to www.hwwallacecbc.com.

he Cowichan T-Birds Ă€ew through their season opener Tuesday night with their Âżrst win against the Port Alberni Armada squad. â€œThe boys played really well and they played really unselÂżshly,â€? coach Sandeep Heer said Wednesday. â€œThey were able to move the ball around really well offensively too,â€? he added of the â€˜Birdsâ€™ game play, which saw them hold tight to a 79-41 win. â€œAndrew Larson had a really great game and made some great decisions,â€? Heer said. â€œEspecially with his shooting and distributing the ball to his teammates.â€? Larson added 24 points and six rebounds to his record. Ben Ingham was second in hoop scoring, with 17 points and eight rebounds. Aaron Gagnon was third on the scorers with nine. Point guard Braydon Aumen also grabbed the attention of his coach, showing great skills in moving the ball and setting up plays.

Andrew Leong

Andrew Larson of Cowichan shoots over the attempted block of Stuart Murray of Alberni during a 79-41 Cowichan win. The Thunderbirds headed off Thursday to the Pitt Meadows Air Show Tournament in Vancouver and are scheduled to play until Saturday. Heer said the boys could use a brush up on their rebounding skills and hopes theyâ€™ll get the chance to do just that throughout tournament play and in

practice. He hoped his squad would place within sixth spot out the 12 teams participating in the Vancouver event. â€œHopefully we do well, but we just never know how the teams are going to be, because we havenâ€™t heard much about them or seen them in action.â€?

Kelsey curling team heads to Kamloops for provincials Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

rances Kelseyâ€™s highschool curling team is Kamloops-bound to defend its provincial crown. The Kelsey crew won the Zone 1 Vancouver Island crown Jan. 13 at Juan de Fuca Curling Club, icing a nod to the B.C.â€™s between Feb. 27 to March 3. â€œThis this is our second time, after we won the provincials last year in Dawson Creek,â€? said skip Paul Henderson, 17. â€œThis will hopefully be our defending year.â€? Heâ€™ll be joined by vice-skip Joey Vaesen, brother Timothy Henderson as second, plus leads Chandler Kerr, and Connor Moore. â€œConnar Croteau graduated, so we picked up Grade 9 junior player Connor Moore from the Kerry Park junior curling program,â€? said

courtesy Henderson family

Kelseyâ€™s crack curling rink includes Chandler Kerr, Paul Henderson, Joey Vaesen, Timothy Henderson, Connor Moore and coaches Tom Henderson and Hayley Henderson. Henderson. â€œChandler Kerr, is another new curler; heâ€™s pretty good with the draws.â€? Kelseyâ€™s crew will use games in the Victoria Curling Clubâ€™s highschool league to polish rink skills toward the seven-game round-robin series in Kamloops. â€œFrom my junior experiences, Trail region usually has really strong

teams, and weâ€™re expecting strong teams from Langley this year,â€? Grade 12 player Henderson said. â€œWeâ€™re making sure weâ€™re straight to the broom so we can clean up if we have any trouble â€” and making sure the draw weights go consistently so we can set up the ends.â€? Kelseyâ€™s strengths also include â€œknowing how to set up an end and create opportunities to gain an

advantage over the opponents.â€? Consistent rotation also helps â€œso you can read the ice, then put the broom in the right spot to get the rock where you want it be.â€? The right spot, big picture, will be scoring about $1,000 in travel money to reach Kamloops. â€œWe hope to get some community support, and really appreciated it last year.â€? Henderson hoped coach/dad Tom, and mom/assistant coach Hayley, help the team reach the Interior contest. Mental and physical preparedness is key in curling, a game he compared to a chess strategy. Those tactics worked during the weekendâ€™s zones against teams from Oak Bay, Cowichan, Reynolds, Brooks and Kelsey. Henderson called the aggressive games that demanded precise moves. Kelsey met Brooks in Sundayâ€™s Âżnal, earning the win 8-3 after running the opposing squad out of rocks.

Division i one soccer side certainly not saving the best for last A random tournament draw has proved an interesting one, to say the least, for Cowichan LMG Pringle men’s Div 1 soccer squad. Coach Glen Martin conﬁrmed Wednesday his team, which is currently ranked number one, has been drawn to play the second-ranked team in the league, Bays United Liquor Plus, in the ﬁrst round of the Jackson Cup tournament come February.

“It’s a completely random draw and no teams ever get seeded,” Martin explained. “It’s just how it is and it’s always been that way.” But having both the top-ranked teams face off ﬁrst isn’t ideal, the coach noted. “One really good team is going to be out of the cup and that could very well effect the B.C. Cup,” he said, explaining last year’s tournament saw the

Cowichan boys play their way to the bitter end, gearing up every weekend until they faced Bays in the ﬁnal and beat them 2-1. The opener against Bays, however, will be an exciting match, Martin suspects. “They’re very strong and they’re getting even stronger, picking up new players as they go.” Cowichan heads to Salts Spring Saturday.

Pin best Western Canadian championship wrestling results ever on Cowichan contingent Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

wenty members of the Cowichan Valley Wrestling Club attended the Western age-group wrestling championships in Kamloops and 11 won medals by ¿nishing in the top three. It was another great display by the talented boys and girls from the club who are always a force in competition. Others who didn’t win medals were still serious contenders. “It was very successful, probably our best ¿nish for medals ever,’’ said CVWC head coach Nick Zuback. The CVWC contingent won six gold medals, two silver and three bronze. Weigh-ins were conducted last Thursday, with competition taking place Friday and Saturday. Maegan Kuruvita, co-winner of the News Leader Pictorial’s Youth Athlete of the Year award for 2012, won gold in the 65-kilogram juvenile girls’ class. “Nothing was close for her,’’ said Zuback. Faye Tuck took top spot for the cadet girls’ 49 kg in an all-Cowichan ¿nal. Chelsea Warke was the runner-up. Ian Tuck placed ¿rst in the 48 kg schoolboy event while Andrea Morris struck gold in 43 kg and was named MVP of the schoolgirl division. Morris, a Grade 8 student at Queen of Angels School, won all three of her matches by pinfall.

Others earning gold included: Nolan Mitchell in the 46 kg juvenile division and Frazer Smith in 50 kg schoolboy. Besides Warke’s silver in 49 kg cadet girls, Randi Thomas was second in the 90 kg event. Bronze medlists included: Olive Kiruiro in the 90 kg cadet girls, Hannah Lauridsen in 60 kg juvenile and Molly O’Donnell in 52 kg. Zuback said O’Donnell could just as easily have ¿nished ¿rst, but was subjected to a couple of tough calls. “She took it in stride and went on to win the next three matches,’’ Zuback pointed out. Rayne Hankins came close to a medal in 65 kg cadet girls, placing fourth. Scott Kennedy and Jimmy Wyld were both ¿fth in 69 kg boys and 54 kg juvenile boys, respectively. Others who competed hard during the competition and didn’t go down without a ¿ght included: Aiden Claus, Kayden Dorma, Ryan Kuruvita, Erik Hovey, Justin Nellystyn and Nick George. The top three from the cadet and juvenile groups quali¿ed for the nationals taking place April 4 to 7 in Saskatoon. “We’ll be doing fundraisers,’’ said Zuback, to send the athletes on their way. CVWC is hosting the high school provincials March 1 and 2 for Grades 8 to 12. Lots of planning will be going into that event before it’s staged. The recent Simon Fraser University War on the Floor event also produced some great results for the club. O’Donnell came second to last year’s provincial champions in her class, Maegan Kuruvita was second to an American wrestler and Faye Tuck also earned a second-place standing.
