The Alex Aitken Elementary School family wants to see the school remain open — something that’s not a sure thing under one of the School District 79 restructure options on the table.
Aitken family wants to protect ‘the whole package’ Ross Armour

T
he potential closure of Alex Aitken Elementary is likely to leave many staring into an unknown abyss, according to the school’s Parent Advisory Committee. Cowichan school board will announce officially on May 15 what model it has decided to go with and the middle school configuration would bring the curtain down on the North Cowichan school. “Change is always unknown,” said Karen Dietrich from the Aitken PAC. “The options are, if the school closes, moving to another school, going to private schooling, or moving completely out of the district.” The middle school option would see a model
set up consisting of kindergarten to Grade 5 elementary schools, Grade 6 to 8 middle schools and Grade 9 to 12 secondary schools. “For my family, we purchased our house to be in this catchment area so I chose it for very specific reasons,” said Leah Smith, also from Alex Aitken’s PAC. “I would have to look very strongly at what our options are (if the school was to be closed).” “Everybody has their own unique story as to why they’re attracted to Alex Aitken. I think there’s something unique with the culture and environment that’s provided here that speaks to a lot of families,” she said. Smith commended the school’s strong emphasis on social responsibility as well as parent and community involvement, and praised the apparent high expectations approach toward
academics. “Alex Aitken’s the whole package. We have some programs that only happen here. The teachers all come together to learn things to see higher grades. So with all the various pieces, it creates a very unique school.” A statement from Alex Aitken’s PAC given to News Leader Pictorial reads: “Alex Aitken is highly regarded in the Cowichan Valley, even School District 79, in section C2 of their report acknowledges this statement in its Impact on Community. (It) has always maintained a full student body, we attract and retain students in the district. “That is why we find it unfathomable that School District 79 would consider closing the doors on one of the most successful schools in the district, both academically and socially.” more on page 7
inal word on the draft permit for a controversial soil treatment dump in Shawnigan Lake — and the 300 official submissions it sparked — rests with a provincial bureaucrat. It appears authority rests with Ministry of Environment official Hubert Bunce, not environment minister Terry Lake. “The Environmental Management Act, which governs decisions made by statutory decision makers, does not require the minister to sign off, and the minister does not have the ability to overturn a decision made on sound technical merits,” MOE staff told the News Leader Pictorial in an email. About 300 comments from Cowichanians about the South Island Aggregates proposal to dump tonnes of contaminated soil into a Stebbings Road treatment quarry were received by Wednesday’s deadline and are being sifted by provincial staff in the ministry’s Nanaimo office. The Ministry of Environment received submissions from the local government, First Nations, health officials and community about SIA’s proposed plan, widely opposed by south-end folks. A number include specific technical information needing careful consideration against the conditions in the draft permit, staff said. “There are three possible outcomes based on their review: the statutory decision maker may choose to issue the permit as is; issue a permit with further modifications or additional conditions; or deny the (SIA) permit application. more on page 7

If you are taking a drug to lower your cholesterol (the generic drug name usually ends in “-statin”), take it in the evening. Our liver is responsible for making cholesterol and usually takes a rest from this job when we eat. However, in the evening and nighttime, when we don’t eat, the liver starts manufacturing cholesterol again. So it’s best to take your statin in the evening.

NLP staffers earn national honours for writing and photography
UP FRONT
An examination of the success of the CVRD’s economic development efforts — or lack thereof — has earned a Cowichan News Leader Pictorial reporter a national honour. Peter W. Rusland took first place in the Canadian Community Newspaper Association’s annual awards competition in the business writing category.
He was recognized for his multi-source piece Good bang for your buck? which explored the question “Eleven years into its mandate, how effective has the Cowichan Economic Development Commission been in developing the local economy?” Meanwhile, photographer Andrew Leong added to his lengthy list of photojournalism awards with a
pair of second-place honours. The first was in the news feature category for his shot of a zombie crawling along the railway tracks in downtown Duncan during last fall’s Halloween festivities.The second was in the sports category for the way he captured Joe Walsh’s impressive dig (left) during the annual Canada Day weekend beach volleyball tourney, also downtown.

en Slade has far from drilled himself into a hole over the past 48 years. Yet back in 1965, he set up water-well drilling company Drillwell based in Duncan, and is set to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award April 13 at the Black Tie Awards. The awards night will be held at the Duncan Travelodge and celebrates its 17th annual event. “I worked for a bigger company on the Lower Mainland for 17 years called Pacific Water Wells and was doing all my work in far-flung places,” said 70-year Cowichan Bay resident Slade. “There were other people doing similar work in Duncan so I decided to set up the company in 1965 and got going.” The closer-to-home factor was a big one for Slade, now 83. “For the first year I didn’t spend one night away from home. “We drill water wells mainly and do a lot of environmental explorations.” The gracious Slade

The Canadian Water Well Association are having their convention in Kelowna next year so I’d like to go to that,” said Slade, who coMpletinG the GeotheRMal unDeRGRounD WoRk

The night will crown the winners of a whole bunch of awards for local business people scattered throughout Cowichan Valley. Awards to be announced include Customer Service, Volunteer of the Year, Young Entrepreneur, Green Business, Art in Business and Business Achievements. For further details visit duncancc.bc.ca.

wimmers from Cowichan Station, Sahtlam, and Glenora can now hit the pool for about half the previous price. Regional directors report Area E aquanauts are now paying lower Cowichan Aquatic Centre ticket fees — similar to those paid by swimmers from North Cowichan, Duncan, and Cowichan Tribes and some other valley areas. For example, an adult swimmer from Area E will now pay $5.75, a dip from $11.50 paid before their area’s taxpayers reached a deal to support the pool. Loren Duncan, Area E director — who’ll stage an alternative-approval process to confirm residents’ wish for pool funding of about $19,000 annually — applauded the news. “I’ve heard from many people who want equal access to the pool, and now they have it.” His residents are paying $12,000 for the rest of 2013 in return for lower pool prices, explained Mayor Jon Lefebure. Areas A, B, C, and D have also reached financial arrangements with pool owners North Cowichan and Duncan, allowing their swimmers lower fees. Those lower prices are shared by families from Saltair, North Oyster, and Ladysmith as they pay to run Ladysmith’s Frank Jameson Community Centre. Higher two-tier fees remain for folks from Cowichan Lake South/Skutz Falls (Area F), Youbou (Area I), and the Town of Lake Cowichan. North Cowichan and Duncan mayors Jon Lefebure and Phil Kent note they’ll try to get those non-contributing areas to pay into pool operation costs, and scrub two-tier tabs for those residents.

A
.5% tax hike will help fuel North Cowichan’s Climate Action & Energy Plan. Mayor Jon Lefebure said the levy lift, approved by council Wednesday, will grow the plan’s reserve fund by about $112,000 this year, then rise each year thereafter. The pool will be visited for various carbon-busting plans coming to councillors from municipal energy manager Peter Nilsen. “Council hasn’t approved any projects yet,” Lefebure said of possible action on electric transportation, home-heating options, low-emission ice-grooming gear at Fuller Lake Arena, and other ideas. Council backed the tax boost

Victoria area puts support behind bid to halt dump plan
Cyrus Genier expresses himself with a sign, as approximately 50 people attended a rally hosted by The National Farmers’ Union and Cowichan Green Community at Charles Hoey Memorial Park on Tuesday, April 9 in support of National Day of Action to stop genetially modified alfalfa in Canada.
from page 8
“It’s too early to estimate how long it will take to make a decision — the submissions include a great deal of detail, and staff will take whatever time is necessary to fully consider the community’s input.” Once a formal permit is issued to SIA, there is an option for appealing to the Environmental Appeal Board. Further, any legal action against ministry staff — including union and non-union employees — is respectively covered by collective agreements, and the Financial Administration Act, staff says. Meanwhile, Wednesday also saw the Capital Regional District back demands by Cowichan’s regional brass for Victoria to deny SIA’s permit. The CRD passed Victoria city Councillor Ben Isitt’s motion demanding the ministry bury SIA’s soil-dumping permit. That motion — twinning an earlier motion by the Cowichan Valley Regional District — now heads to the province, along with a request that contaminated-site regulations be amended to include additional input from local governments. That’s something Cowichan leaders have long demanded after dirty soil was allowed to be imported, under a provincial permit, to a treatment site near the Koksilah River. CRD staff are also probing potential impacts on Victoria region’s water supply at Sooke Lake, if SIA’s permit is approved. According to Issit, hydrogeological evidence seems to indicate pollutants in Shawnigan’s watershed could reach the capital’s water source.
Parent lobby urged from page 1
Despite obvious immediate concerns, Dietrich offered sympathy to the school board hierarchy but encouraged parents to write letters to the board. “There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to express (how good the school is). It’s absolutely a tough decision as we know change is something that needs to be done. I wouldn’t want to be in their (the school board’s) position. “It doesn’t make financial, social or academic sense to us.”

he Chemainus Valley Museum’s gopher girl will be popping in and out of a refurbished burrow by this time next
year. Norma Greer, a CVM “archivist, secretary and go-fer girl,” said the addition will be completed to the lockdown stage by the spring of 2014, as notable locals gathered on site Friday afternoon to break ground on the museum’s longanticipated expansion. Interior remodelling of the museum’s portion of the expansion is expected to be completed by 2016, Greer said, by the 25th anniversary of the building of our original building. The Chemainus Visitor Centre and Chemainus and District Chamber of Commerce will also call the expansion home. The expansion will include and elevator and three floors in total, with the lowest floor consisting of a single room designed to serve as storage, Greer added, as they are “busting at the seams with stuff.” Chris Dawes and Denise Sakai from Island Timberlands were on hand to assist with the groundbreaking, Greer said, in recognition of the company’s former ownership of the land gifted as parkland by forestry pioneer H.R. MacMillan.

Eric Veistrup and Norma Greer of the Chemainus Valley Historical Society received a helping hand from Nanaimo-North Cowichan MLA Doug Routley and Denise Sakai from Island Timberlands during Friday’s Chemainus Museum groundbreaking. Eric Veistrup, president of the Chemainus Valley Historical Society, and Greer were joined for the ceremonay by Sakai, NanaimoNorth Cowichan MLA Doug Routley, chamber president Peter Matthews, North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure and Mel Dorey, CVRD director for Saltair. Veistrup said they hope to start construction “within a week or two” in order to complete the building’s foundation “within the next two months,” prior to a slow-down for tourist season. “The visitor centre is now going to be part of our museum,” Veistrup added, “and we have promised them that they will be ready to move in here by June next year.” The parking lot adjacent to the museum is destined to become “Waterwheel Plaza,” Veistrup reminded the crowd. “There will be no more parking here. It will be for the people to
enjoy, and we believe that’s a great thing for Chemainus.” The expansion, designed by Ladysmith-based architect Angela Quek, adds nearly 5,500 square feet of space to the structure. At street level, the addition includes 1,600 square feet of museum space and a 900-square-foot Visitor Centre. Below rests a second level with 1,400 square feet of storage space for the museum and an 800-square-foot office for the CDCOC. At the base of the slope rests a third level, Veistrup said, which offers an additional 780 square feet of storage. Prior to the groundbreaking, Veistrup took a moment to express his gratitude to all those who lent a hand in seeing the project through to fruition, paying special mention to Greer. “Without Norma, we would not be standing here today,” Veistrup said. “I can guarantee you that.”

The slow death of two-tier good sign for future
Open ears: teamwork around pool funding buoys hope for regional-recreation formula
I
t’s gratifying Cowichanians are speaking through spending at the Cowichan Aquatic Centre. And most regional leaders — especially the mayors of North Cowichan and Duncan — have heard beefs from families paying the pool’s higher two-tier fees if they live outside the two municipalities funding the tank’s operational costs. Two-tier fees saw pool use taper, to the chagrin of staff and politicians. But Thursday’s news folks in Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora Keeping the (Area E) will immediately stop paying two-tier fees — until year’s end, and talk flowing perhaps beyond pending community approval — shows how most local areas are cooperating to support our busy $20-million tank. It opened in late 2008, replacing the decaying Aquannis pool. But ramps to that launch saw North Cowichan and Duncan leaders plead with the brass of Cowichan’s other areas to help bankroll the pool — or face two-tier fees at the gate. The two councils kept their promise, while leaving doors open to more regional areas chipping in to cover pool costs. That slowly happened. Five years later, two-tier tabs for most valley swimmers are gone, except for folks living in Lake Cowichan, Cowichan Lake South/Skutz Falls, and Youbou. Pool funding was an indicator of regional turf guarding that stunted growth concerning regional recreational funding. Gradual teamwork about pool financing helped drain that soggy thinking, thanks to swimmers and families speaking to their receptive leaders. Let’s keep the dialogue flowing toward a regional-rec formula — and ways to build other facilities benefiting all Cowichanians.

Seeing both sides of: Victoria’s role in soil debate The case against
The case for
Greater Victoria is our closest and biggest neighbour. Of course, locals should be expecting it to take a role in their battle to prevent their contaminated soil from being trucked to our watershed. Oak Bay’s mayor voted against taking a stand on the issue, reportedly stating it was not the CRD’s role to take a public interest advocacy position. Sorry? If not that, then what exactly is its role?
Protest signs are common in Shawnigan at the moment.
It’s time youths took a firm hold of their futures Paul Fletcher
News Leader Pictorial
W
hen I turned 16 I begged for the day off from school and, with my mother in tow, got my learner’s permit to drive. It wasn’t much longer before I had my drivers’ licence and I was gone. When I turned 21, the legal age in Quebec, I went to the tavern closest to my house and celebrated my coming of age with multiple stubbies. I was also able to vote for the first time, but I didn’t bother. Why would I when a life of stubbies, open roads and adventure beckoned? It was only when I grew older and started to identify with the politics of leaders and parties that my political interest grew enough to express my opinions through letters to the editor, and to anyone else who would listen. I soon learned opinions alone were not enough and that the power to make change
rested in the hands of our elected representatives. I forget what drove me to vote the first time. Perhaps it was Rene Levesque’s rise to power in my home province of Quebec, or maybe I was swept along with the Trudeau mania thinking that a new day had arrived. The important point is that I voted and continued to do so from then on. Having run as a candidate in prior municipal elections, my thoughts have often turned to the difficult question of how to attract the young vote, the votes of youths who are beginning their adult lives and have little time, knowledge or interest to cast their vote. Life isn’t always about stubbies and cars for today’s youth. Many are invested in this community, many were born in this community and many will likely return here later in life when Cowichan calls them back. Unfortunately, many will be returning to a place where the opportunity to shape the community path back in their youth, has passed.
Cowichan residents can rally the troops across the country if they want, for all the good that will do them. Ministry of Environment officials have made it perfectly clear the decision on the SIA soil dump is not subject to politics and public opinion. It will be made by a bureaucrat, based on scientific evidence and on the law. Anything Victoria adds to the debate is wind.
COWICHAN LEADERS
If I were a youth today I would seriously consider voting in the upcoming provincial election. Despite what youth might think about the state of politics and our country, the opportunity for change certainly does exist and it might, rightfully so, rest in the youth vote. It might actually be a good thing that the youth don’t decide to vote. Imagine if every youth voted in the city of Duncan. Going by the very low municipal voter turnout in the past, the youth could easily run a full city council slate, and they all would be elected. Now that would be interesting. I think it is time for the young to stand up and look at the opportunity for change staring them in the face. Youth leaders can encourage others to take up the flag. To do so will require knowledge of local and provincial issues so they can support the candidate that best represents their interests. I would like to challenge Cowichan youth to get involved in this election, to look beyond the
status quo for new ideas, new faces, new energy, new voices, new commitment. I dare you to vote and be heard. Let the politicians know that you care about the environment you will inherit, the jobs that you can’t find in your community, the education that is increasingly unaffordable. Your vote could stop the Northern Gateway Pipeline, the Kinder Morgan expansion, coal mining on Vancouver Island and the continuing export of our raw resources. Changing the politicians to a better serving variety will be a lot easier than fighting government again for the next four years. Just think of how this success could empower youth across Canada to stand up and act. Paul Fletcher is former Duncan city councillor who writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial.

Should BC Ferries’ service be free to smaller places such as the Gulf Islands? “Yes. BC Ferries should be part of our highways system. Rising fares hit (island) people much harder than the general population because they have to take ferries to get home.”
“Ferries should be free for island residents. Maybe they should have to show a resident’s card for that.”

Soil dump site poses too many risks
City is trying on rail crossing
Dear editor The city has been trying to build a proper rail crossing in Charles Hoey Park for several years. The problem is that because the height of the rails is not standard, to have a special cement crossing built and installed will cost approximately $43,000. We are not unable or unwilling to do this, but not until we have permission from the Island Corridor Foundation. What we have been trying to do, without success, is to get someone to make a concrete panel to the appropriate height that meets the railway specifications for less than that figure. The city cannot endorse Mr. Frith’s wellmeant attempt to resolve the problem. The difficulty with unskilled labour adding gravel and cement to the tracks too close to the rails could make the situation worse, not better. It is not necessary to hold the city up for derision when you do not know the whole story. If someone wants to ask about why something is, or is not happening, why not pick up the phone and ask city hall or email one of the councillors — we are your neighbours, after all.

I am concerned about the threat to a drinking water source posed by this development. I am a professional engineer and geoscientist specializing in hydrogeology. There are four critical elements in a secure landfill. The natural setting can be selected to minimize the possibility of wastes escaping to groundwater.

After successfully negotiating a road right-of-way at Providence Farm with the owners Sisters of St. Ann, North Cowichan council applied for that and one other section to be removed from the ALR in order to extend Donnay Drive.

North Cowichan council told residents there’d probably be no increase in taxes due to the previous year’s surplus of $480,000 that provided a $765,000 jump on municipal goods and services. Most incomes were over estimates, Mayor Rex Hollett said.

n the annals of Cowichan history there’s probably no better example of the effect that fire can have on a community than a brief six weeks in 1946 when the Cowichan Creamery and Duncan High School were destroyed and Maple Bay Inn and several vehicles nearby were badly damaged by a huge blaze. But it was the number of call-outs in April 1994 that kept local firefighters on their toes. Ten fires in eight days — ranging from clogged chimneys to a stubborn bush blaze — plagued the area. “We’ve had 65 fires in the first three months of the year and are just waiting for number 66,” said chief Tom Henry. Most serious of these fires was at a two-storey house on Francis Street in Harmony Estates that caused between $50,000 and $60,000 damage. First on the scene was a Duncan fire department truck, with North Cowichan’s two trucks close behind. In all, 25 firefighters battled the fire at the 2000 sq. ft. home for two hours. Other incidents that day included two chimney fires just west of Duncan and a burn on the Quamichan Reserve that consumed 3000 square-feet of bush, coming within 15 feet of a home.

Bachman to Tap into the stories behind his long musical legacy Tyson Jones

ith a cunning tongue and a wealth of musical knowledge, Randy Bachman weaves the tale of his career with Every Song Tells a Story, says tour promotional materials. It’s been nine years since the Cowichan Theatre hosted the Canadian legend for the environmental Clean Air charity concert with son Tal, Neil Young and the Barenaked Ladies. The Salt Spring Island resident returns to share his music and the tales behind some of his greatest hits. The Vinyl Tap Tour is inspired by his award-winning CBC radio program, which comes to the Cowichan Theatre April 15. Bachman’s career started in the 60’s with the Guess Who and this is where the story begins. As still photos and video play behind Bachman and his three band members, a narrative of inspirations, collectible guitars, and some of Bachman’s greatest hits unfolds; each story usually ending with a musical performance by the group. With the end of the Guess Who, Bachman-Turner Overdrive was born and a whole new collection of hits created. The second half of the performance includes some of the band’s greatest tracks such as Takin’ Care of

Nordine headlines lates jazz series installment at the Crofton Pub
Global jazz-saxophone diva Monik Nordine plays the Crofton Hotel Sunday, April 14 as part of the pub’s fresh Jazz Series. Nordine was just 16 years old when she performed at Salt Spring Island’s Vesuvius Pub, little more than a stone’s throw across the chuck from Crofton. Born in Sweden, Nordine grew up on Saltspring
and, after stints in Vancouver, Montreal, and London, returned there in 2000 to raise her daughter. Nordine has recorded several CDs, and played with such luminaries as Michael Bublé, Rob McConnell, P.J. Perry and Paul Horn. Her pianist for Sunday’s Crofton gig, Victoria’s Brent Jarvis, has played more than 1,000 performances, recorded three CDs and founded the

f you don’t know the twist ending to Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap — do yourself a favor — keep it that way until you can watch the story unravel at the Frances Kelsey theatre. Opening on the West End of London in 1952 The Mousetrap is the longest-running show of modern times. It debuted on the Kelsey stage Thursday, April 11. “I chose the play because it’s the longest running show in the world,” said director Anna Roberts. “It has been running for so long and there have been so many different takes on the characters that our interpretation will be different, and the same as many, many others.” Kelsey’s latest production utilizes a simple set and lighting to steer the audience’s attention toward acting and story. News of a murder plays over a radio, the stage is black. The lights come up and the mystery begins to unravel. “There are a lot of funny moments and equally a lot of serious moments that you would not typically expect from a high school play,” said Ashton James Arden, a member of the cast. The play is set in the Great Hall of Monkswell Manor, a recently renovated guesthouse. The two owners and six guests make up the cast. They have become stranded due to a sudden blizzard. A phone
call from the police alerts them that a murderer may be in their presence. “My favorite part about the play is the eerie feeling it gives you — it’s a weird gut feeling — you don’t know what is going to happen next; there are so many twists and turns,” said Austin Frykas, who plays Major Metcalf, one of the mysterious guests. This end-of-year production varies greatly from Kelsey’s 2012 performance, The Chrysalids, which had a cast of more than 30 students. “With a small cast it’s not so much about people wrangling as it is character discovery and development,” said Roberts. Though the cast is small, audience members will have to take out there magnifying glasses and put on their detective caps to try and solve the mystery before it is unveiled. “The twist snuck up on me,” said Haley Kuecks-Winger, who plays Miss Casewell. “When I read the script for the first time I did not know what to expect at all, so it was quite fun. I hope that it will be the same experience for the people watching.” Several of the play’s characters have unknown backgrounds, but some are more suspect then others. “Mr. Paravacine is the most abstract character out of the eight,” said Arden, about his character.”He shows up out of nowhere and is very mysterious.

CHOWN, Leslie (Les) James June 15, 1918 – April 5, 2013 Dad was born in London England to James (1890 – 1974) and Mabel (1891 – 1972) Chown and immigrated to Canada (Saskatchewan) in 1920. He was raised on a farm with his brothers Bob, Fred and his sister Winnie (Bridges). He came to Duncan in 1937 where he met Mum. Dad joined the 62nd Battery Royal Canadian Artillery and was mobilized September 1, 1939 later to be shipped overseas in 1941.Being in the 3rd division he landed on Juno Beach on D day. He always talked with much respect for the boys who didn’t make it home. At the end of the war he returned to Canada and made the army his career. Mum & Dad (soul mates) were married November 1945 and had 67 happy years together. Two daughters Shirley & Linda were born during his posting to Cranbrook B.C. Most of Dad’s army career was spent in Ottawa. He was a Master gunner and received his commission as a Captain. After his retirement in 1968 he returned to Duncan having achieved 32 years of service. Dad was preceded by his brothers Bob (2001) and Fred (1999) and son in law Roly (2003).

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Phoebe Spurgin on Thursday, April 4th at the Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan, BC, after a short illness. Phoebe, born on September 20th, 1918 in Strumpshaw in Norfolk, England to the Reverend Thomas Cecil Spurgin and Sybil (nee Cartwright), was the elder of two daughters. She was predeceased by both her parents in 1961 and by her sister Bridget in 1975. She grew up and was educated in the Counties of Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. She trained as a teacher of young children and received her Froebel Certificate. She taught in London and during the war was evacuated to the Lake District with the school. She spent a number of years caring for her parents in Bexhill on Sea in the county of Sussex before immigrating to Duncan, BC, in 1963. She took a teaching position at Queen Margaret’s School, Duncan as kindergarten and Grade One teacher and subsequently became head of the Junior School and Deputy Headmistress. Upon retirement in 1986 she moved to her cottage on Thetis Island where she became a well-known and much loved pillar of the community. She joined the Cowichan District Hospital Auxiliary and was often seen delivering tea and comforts (mostly scones and strawberry jam) to the patients at both the hospital and Cairnsmore Place. When not attending to her beautiful garden she could be found knitting or making gifts for the hospital bazaar, poor children’s charities overseas and specific drives for clothes or food in third world countries. She was an avid supporter of Save the Children Fund, Doctors without Borders, Amnesty International and the Stephen Lewis Foundation and many more. Phoebe is survived by her cousins Felicity Smith (Derek), Cameron Cartwright (Heather), Janella Frewin (Peter), numerous cousins overseas in Britain, Canada and Australia and good friends Frankie Montgomery, Shirley Burr and the Mooneys. Funeral service will be held at St. Peter’s Church, 5800 Church Road (off Maple Bay Road) Duncan on Monday April 15th, 2013 at 3:00PM with Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Queen Margaret’s School Chapel Fund or a charity of your choice. Donations may also be made on line. FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL SERVICES

H.W. Wallace 251 Jubilee St. 250-701-0001 DOWD, Walter John December 16, 1930 - April 6, 2013 Walter was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He recently lost his older brother Gerald and older sister Patricia. His younger brother, Richard lives with his wife, Connie, and family in Nova Scotia. Walter also leaves behind his wife, Barbara. Her love, affection and care has been a comfort and aid to him over their 44 years of marriage, especially in these last times in his battle with chronic kidney and lung disease. Thanks are due to Dr. Sanders and Dr. Fazil for their care and advice, to the staff of the health professionals at the Cowichan District Hospital and to the Home Care nurses. Walter was a teacher and very much enjoyed his teaching career which he started in 1953 and ended in 1992. It had allowed him to teach in other parts of Canada as well as the Canadian DND Schools, Germany. He always found the time to be involved in a variety of school activities (sports, drama, yearbook) and in many staff related committees. By his own request cremation with no ceremony or service.

Cheers led from Sea to Sky Friday, April 12, 2013

The Cowichan Allstars youth cheerleading team poses with their hardware after their biggest meet ever.
News Leader Pictorial
E
xcitement was a plenty for the Cowichan Valley Allstars this past weekend at the Sea to Sky International Cheerleading Championships in Vancouver. The cheer meet, held at the Vancouver Convention Centre, attracted thousands of competitors from across B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and the United States in what Allstars head coach Rhonda Dale described as the team’s biggest meet ever. “In this meet, teams perform twice over two days and their marks are combined and weighted for a final mark,” said Dale in an email to News Leader Pictorial. “Our senior team level two placed ninth overall. They were very excited as the competition was tough. The team showed good control of their stunts and hit their positions beautifully. We did have a small mishap in one routine where the pyramid came down which hurt our overall marks but the team was still happy with their performance,” she said. “Kristin Berry and Patrick Charest did a partner stunt in the routine where he pushed her up with his arms straight over his head as she stood on his hands hitting their stunt beautifully. Tumblers Holly Ellison, Kristi Reynolds and Wendy McAfee were a thing of beauty as they tumbled in sync across the floor.” According to Dale, her cheerleading stars score

the highest marks of all the teams in this area. “Our youth team placed 10th overall in their first ever appearance at such a large meet. They also were one of the highest scoring teams in tumbling and they have improved so much in the other areas of their routine,” said a happy Dale who also commended the youth team’s ability with particular stunts. “They have a great stunt they do where they turn the girl in the air before cradling her safely to the floor. Birkley Anderson and Grace George were spotlighted in their tumbling passes and showed great performance skills. Team captain Laurel Hayes worked hard at keeping her team in sync on the floor and has shown some wonderful leadership capabilities this year.” Senior ages are 12 to 18 and there are 11 girls and two boys on the squad. Youth ages are seven to 11 years old and there are 13 girls on the squad.
“Kristi Reynolds competed as an individual at the senior level. She showed her fabulous jumps and tumbling skills and placed fourth overall. She is getting better every meet and we hope to see

owichan Secondary’s boys rugby team went through the full range of sporting emotions last Thursday and
Friday. The T-Birds lost 52-21 to Port Alberni on April 4 despite two tries from Brock Gowanlock and Rhys Mousely, who also kicked three conversions. “Alberni came out strong and scored six tries in the first half while the T-Birds were held scoreless,” said coach and director of athletics at Cowichan Secondary Ron Glass in an email. “The T-Birds’ tightened up their defence and outscored Alberni three tries to two in the second half.” The team was scheduled to play Gleneagle on Friday evening but the Coquitlam team pulled out late in the day. However, they were able to put the disappointment of that as well as the Alberni loss behind them by winning the Westhill 7’s tournament in Langford, which they entered last minute on April 5.

Jordan Sweitzer from visiting Shelton, WA tacklles Brock Gowanlock of Cowichan, April 2. as a “great warm up leading into the Island tournament.” In the first game, the T-Birds slaughtered Pacific Academy of Victoria 31-0 following tries from Mousely, Noah Dobson, Josh Jones, Darren Parcells and Zack Iwasyk. They then went one point better, ousting Belmont 32-0 with tries from Josh Jones (two), Raul Corpas-Naval, Alucious Gray, Dylan Pilon, Tiarnan Murray. That winning feeling kept coming with a 36-0 whitewash of Edward Milne of Sooke with scorers being
Seth Davis, Ben Iwasyk, Gray, Nathan Yu twice and Parcells. The team brought the curtain down on a tournament of dominance by defeating Glen Lyon Norfolk 22-5 with Parcells, Zack Iwasyk and Noah Dobson twice with Josh Jones tabling a conversion. “12 of our 17 players hit the score sheet and we outscored our opponents an impressive 122-5. Super teamwork and excellent defence were on display,” said Glass. The T-Birds next fixture is away to Vanier on Thursday.

Kamloops a tough test local women’s rugby side Ross Armour

Andrew Leong
Tawnee Abbot of Kamloop strips the ball from Ashley Weir of Cowichan during Women’s Division1 rugby game on Saturday, April 6 at the Cowichan Rugby Club.
owichan’s women’s rugby team knew it was going to be a tough task facing the best team in the league with one player less. And that proved to be the case this past Saturday as the team lost 55-17 at home to Kamloops. “Well as 14 players started the game versus the best team in the league, we knew we would have to play with everything we’ve got to make it a close game,” said Cowichan Rugby Club secretary and treasurer Sherry Spence in an email. Spence also featured in the game for the homers. “I feel even though the score was 5517, it doesn’t reflect how hard everyone played. After three weeks off since our last game, there were some great hits, but unfortunately for us Kamloops had
a speedy full back that went in for five tries,” she said. One Cowichan try came from Katie McKinty and two from Quinn Battie including “a nice show and go try” and one following “great support by Amoray Aloisi.” Michelle Moore also kicked a conversion. “Along with the tries, there were some great runs by Audrey Park who stepped up once again to play in the centre,” said Spence. Kamloops awarded players of the game to Moore and Spence. “It looks like we will have a weekend off, and will finish off with a home games versus Britlions April 20,” said Spence who is hoping to finish the season on a high with a victory. “Every week we have been getting better and if we could have had our full squad out it would have been a different story.”

Duncan bowler records landmark knockdown at Langford Lanes Duncan’s Robert Martin now holds the high bowling score at Langford Lanes. It’s the first time he’s held a record at a bowling alley despite downing pins since he was four years old. “It’s really nice, I’ve never had that before,” the 31-year-old said.
On Feb. 4, he not only bowled a perfect game with a score of 300, he bowled an 800 series. On that night, he scored 821, the leading score at Langford Lanes. He was playing as a spare with the Monday Masters bowling league. With a one-week gap due to Family Day, Martin was back on the lanes
two weeks later to bowl a second 800-series finishing with 806 points. “That’s the first time I’ve done that back-toback,” Martin smiled. “I think it’s more difficult to get an 800 series than it is to get a perfect game. I’ve seen people shoot a 300 game, who’ve never got an 800 series in their life.”

he Cowichan Valley Soccer Association can now boast five district championships after success in the 2013 District Cup Finals in Juan de Fuca this past weekend. Cowichan’s U16 Silver and U17 Silver girls’ teams won their respective finals, as did the boys’ U13 Gold, U14 Bronze and U15 Gold teams. Carol Coels, team manager of the U17 Silver Girls, was in jubilant move following her team’s 2-1 victory over Bays United. “Both teams fielded full line-ups and were ready for the winner takes all final,” she told News Leader Pictorial in an email. “The first half was dominated by great defensive play from both teams and few scoring chances. Teams finished the half tied at no score.” Despite a goalless first half, Cowichan took the lead two minutes into the second with Jennifer Jack grabbing the opening strike. That was quickly followed just over 10 minutes later as Brett Young converted a cross into the back of the net.

The Valley girls worked hard and earned a championship win,” said manager Coels. “Coach Carina Heyes attributed the season’s success to the girls’ dedication, teamwork and having a lot of fun on and off the the field.” The U16 Silver Girls defeated Saanich Fusion 4-2 in their match.

he Cowichan Football Association kicked off a new season this past weekend with two wins out of three for the local teams. Association president Jeff McDonald labelled the weekend as a “great” one for Cowichan Football Atoms who opened the season with a 20-6 win over Nanaimo Lions at McAdam Park in Duncan. “Cowichan opened the game with a 30-yard kick return by Tasysha Mccuig-Jones,” McDonald told News
Leader Pictorial in an email. “Ronan Harley next punched it up the middle, then on our second offensive drive Carter Price broke to the outside and ran in our first touchdown of the season.” Harley then kicked another point to make it 7-0. “On defence, first-year player Gavin Swanson was fearless, while corner Killion Vennryan played a stellar game. The Lions were able to get one touchdown but were unsuccessful in the convert,” explained McDonald. “In the second half, the D came on strong. Putting pressure on the Lions quarterback and a sack by Hudson
Copley-Spencer gave Cowichan great field position. Following some great blocks from Dylan Tayler, Carter Price scored his second touchdown to put us up 13-6. On the kickoff Carter Price, somehow stripped the ball and ran in for the third time, putting us up 20-6,” said McDonald. Elsewhere, Cowichan won the PeeWee game 12-6 over Nanaimo however the Lions did win the PreAtom tussle 12-8. Pre-Atom coach Devon Lawrence said the first quarter was back-andforth, but in the second “Nanaimo was being held to little or no yards thanks to our defence. Defensive line-

man Hunter Fenn was getting through Nanaimo’s offensive line causing mass confusion and forcing multiple fumbles.” “The Bulldogs’ offence was able to move the ball effectively, but was not able to put any points on the board in the first half despite some amazing footwork by running back Jack Napier-Ganley who was moving the ball 20 yards a carry. “We were finally able to put some points on the board in the second half with an impressive 40 yard run by running back Brock Lamont. Brock then caught a pass for two points on our conversion attempt.”
