he printing press has a schedule it has to follow but fortunately News Leader Pictorial readers have other options. The newspaper you are holding may have hit the press a few hours before B.C. election polls closed last night, but the election results are available on our website, cowichannewsleader.com. Those results will be fleshed out throughout the day as reaction becomes available, with a full report available in Friday’s paper. Meanwhile, advance polling in the Cowichan

Valley riding has been stronger than early balloting in the Nanaimo-North Cowichan riding, Elections B.C. figures show. Cowichan Valley notched 1,937, 1,519, and 1,548, and 1,548 votes respectively Wednesday through Saturday day for a total of 6,552. Nanaimo-North Cowichan saw 1,500, 1,115, 1,058 and 1,148 ballots cast respectively in the past three days, for a tally of 4,821. The north riding has 40,230 registered voters. Elections B.C. doesn’t report which candidates earned those votes. Those numbers will be reported after polls close at 8 p.m. on election day May 14. With advance polls open for four days and a push by political parties to use them, turnout

by early voters jumped 28 per cent for today’s election, compared to the 2009 B.C. election. But that election ended up with an all-time low turnout of only 51 per cent of eligible voters, confirming a trend in other jurisdictions that heavy advance voting does not indicate increased voter interest. Elections B.C. reports that 380,741 votes were cast in advance polls at the 85 constituencies around B.C. That’s about 12 per cent of the more than three million people eligible to vote in the province. Heaviest turnouts were reported in Comox Valley, Vernon-Monashee, Penticton, Saanich North and the Islands, Oak Bay-Gordon Head and Parksville-Qualicum.

owichan Valley’s incumbent NDP MLA Bill Routley returned to office Tuesday as his party swept into office with a landslide majority. And Green candidate Mayo McDonough won a landmark seat after clinching the Nanaimo-North Cowichan riding. No, these are not the official results of yesterday’s B.C. election, which was still ongoing as the News Leader Pictorial went to press yesterday. These are local results from a provincial Student Vote, held Monday across the province, including more than 20 schools in Cowichan’s two ridings. Routley, McDonough and NDP leader Adrian Dix would be thrilled if reality mirrored a pupil vote that saw the NDP earning 53 of 85 seats. Liberal Premier Christy Clark wouldn’t be so happy. She lost her Vancouver-Point Grey seat, while her party won 20 seats to the Green’s eight, while John Cummins’ B.C. Conservatives won zero seats and independent hopefuls landed four. But the real winners were some 90 students who realistically learned about elections and campaigns, then voted. To Angus Morten, an Ecole Duncan Elementary pupil, Elections B.C.’s $150,000 spent on Student Vote was taxpayer money well spent. “It’s a good idea to teach kids about the government and let them actually experience how it feels to vote, and decide which party to vote for.” Morten, 11, said he knew about balloting “and a little about the government, but I didn’t really understand (elections) at first.” He was surprised B.C. holds 85 ridings, and balloting made him a Grade 6 apathy-buster. “Apathy’s not very good because every vote counts.” more on page 4 2013 CR-V LX 2013 MODELCR-V SHOWN:LX RM3H3DES MODEL SHOWN: RM3H3DES

Cowichan RCMP wants your old and useless drugs dropped off

UP FRONT

The North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP is extending its support of National Prescription Drug Drop-Off Day for the remainder of the week. Medications will be accepted at the detachment between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. until Friday, May 17. The community-safety initiative is designed

to dispose of unused and expired medication so it doesn’t end up in the wrong hands — namely, kids. According to a release forwarded by Cpl. Jon Stuart, a 2009 study found 20% of students in Grades 7 through 12 reported using at least one prescription drug without a physician’s approval.

People dropping off medications are advised not to leave them outside when detachment buildings are closed for obvious reasons. Unused or expired medications can also be dropped off at participating pharmacies. The campaign is being conducted by RCMP detachments province-wide.

Warm weather already killing Cowichan River smolts Arm now dry: Conservationists renew pleas to raise the weir amidst calls for province to act

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

owichan River fish smolts are already dying due to warm weather and drying river beds. One stakeholder blames the coho-, chinook-, and steelhead trout -smolt deaths on talk but no action by senior bureaucrats with B.C.’s forests ministry. “If we had control (of river flows), we’d act today,” Parker Jefferson of One Cowichan said Thursday. That local coalition of watershed folks, First Nations and Cowichan politicians wants Warm Land hands on the river’s tap, and storage needs behind Cowichan Lake’s weir, to prevent salmon from dying — as happened during last fall’s spawn. “The watershed board needs to keep the flows going, but government wants to hold water back (in the lake) to adhere to the (1950s Catalyst mill river licence) rule curve.” But stakeholder and trout fisherman Joe Saysell explained the catch-22 about Cowichan’s fish. “If we let water go now, we could run out of water later, especially if we don’t get any rain,” he said “We have never Friday, with an eye to seen the river fall’s spawning needs. “We had a dry this low at this spring and very little time of year.” snow pack.” But if the province allowed the lake’s weir to be raised from the current 15 inches to 18 inches, “we’d have good flows to cover steelhead reds, and prevent all other fry from dying.” “The real answer is to raise the weir to 18 inches so we can store more water — at

Local stakeholders are demanding a water release from Cowichan Lake’s weir to save the baby ﬁsh. 18 inches we could have let more water go right now. “Terry Lake (environment minister) could order that weir raised by three inches right now.” While Saysell said some smolts will die, “99% of the fry are OK at 15 inches.” Boosting storage to 18 inches would have little effect on lakefront properties, he explained, and would allow a slow lowering of the river level to help spring smolts and

“not create these puddles of fry.” A dry river also spells lost trout-fishing tourist dollars as that season shrank from three months in the late 1950s to just 10 days this year, Saysell explained. Meanwhile, Jefferson said he visited the river’s north arm Thursday with Cowichan Tribes’ member Tim Kulchyski. They viewed “the stranding crisis” where “baby chinooks are doomed,” Jefferson’s email to the News Leader Pictorial says.

“This arm of the river is now dry. According to Saysell, who is working on this in the upper river, we have never seen the river this low at this time of year,” Jefferson says. Saysell drifted the river Wednesday with former federal environment minister David Anderson, Jefferson says. Anderson, like many other locals, has indicated he’s baffled and angry about riverflow inaction by the provincial government.

Student says program got him thinking

from page 1

He was most impressed by the Green party, particularly local Kerry Davis — Cowichan’s only candidate of five that visited Ecole Duncan. “I asked him about people thinking they’re a one-issue party, but he talked about how (Green platforms) affect the environment, people and their budget.” Greens may grab a few real seats, Morten predicted. “I don’t really like the NDP: they seem unreliable; a bit risky.” He favoured a minority government. “It’s a bit more fair. With a majority government you always get your way.” That awareness came from nonpartisan teachers Lisa Leclerc and Sharon Hall using realistic ballot boxes, photo ID, ballots and other materials to educate Grade 5 and 6 kids about voting. “The purpose of Student Vote is to try and combat voter apathy, and begin dialogue at home,” Leclerc said of Ecole Duncan’s three classes taking part.

Alex Aitken Div. 2 teacher Gabi Caljouw accepts a ballot from Grade 6 student Luc Wilson during the Student Vote at Alex Aitken Elementary School. “We don’t talk about who we’re voting for, we basically present what government is, how elections work, and what the platforms are so students can dialogue with their families,” she said of the lessons toward adult voting at age 18. Students toured neighbourhood

signs, discussed party platforms, watched the leaders’ debate, then cast votes. “It’s about getting involved in the democratic process. We want kids to connect in the real world with what we’re doing in the classroom; it prepares students to understand the voter process.”

eva Hakala has endured a lot for a 26-year-old. But friends, family and community members are making it easier for her to cope after two brain surgeries. Strong community support, nothing new for the valley, raised nearly $3,000 during a bottle drive May 5. Hakala was first diagnosed with brain cancer in June 2009. Two more growths were found in her brain recently that required a second surgery. She’s already made a strong recovery, with moral and financial support from so many people, some who don’t even know her but just wanted to help. “The bottle drive was very successful and Eeva was very appreciative,’’ reported family friend Debbie Smith. “She would like to thank everyone for their support.’’ Mountains of bottles and cans were collected during the fundraiser at the Cowichan Sportsplex. Smith expressed her gratitude to everyone who contributed on a Facebook message. “Seeing friends, community, stores and families come together to support Eeva in her recovery is heartwarming,’’ she wrote. “The energy of people coming

residential investigations. “It’s extremely disturbing to persons when their homes are broken into, and we certainly take these matters seriously,” his release reads. “We are working on these investigations, and seeking assistance from our Regional Crime Unit and neighboring detachments for any help.” The first burglary was reported May 9 as a single-alarm event. Police arrived within minutes to find the front door open at the home in Mill Bay Road’s 2600 block. A video camera and some other items were found on the doorstep. “Police dog services were called and searched the area,” Webb said.

ock it or lose it is the warning from Shawnigan Lake Mounties after thieves entered two Mill Bay homes through unsecured windows. “RCMP ask people to please secure their residences and vehicles when they are not home, and that citizens keep a watchful eye for any suspicious persons or vehicles,” RCMP Cpl. Rob Webb said Tuesday, noting burglaries had been “relatively well in hand.” The RCMP Forensic Identification Section is working on both

“Unfortunately, a suspect was not located. Investigation revealed the suspect or suspects entered through an insecure back window. A significant amount of jewelry was stolen from the residence.” The second burglary happened May 13 when a residence in the 600 block of Frayne Road was hit between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Again, crooks entered through an insecure rear window, stealing a laptop and a significant amount of jewelry. Information about these, or any crimes, can be reported to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-665 8477, or Shawnigan Lake RCMP at 250743-5514.

Island firm set to begin work on new visitor centre

ork on the valley’s new Visitors Centre is expected to get underway within 10 days. The Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce announced May 13 Victoria-, Courtenay- and Vancouver-based Kinetic Construction Ltd. would oversee the $2 million project slated to take shape adjacent to the parking lot of the B.C. Forest Discovery Centre. According to a chamber press release, Kinetic was chosen through a public bidding pro-

cess, based on a combination of the lowest cost, coupled with its experience building the Vancouver Island Visitor Centre in Comox. “Kinetic is ideally suited when it comes to budget, experience and reputation. In addition, they are totally on board with the Chamber’s requirement to hire locally whenever possible, “ said Julie Scurr, chamber vice-president and chair of the Cowichan Regional Visitor Centre building committee. “As a local Vancouver Island contractor, Kinetic has been active

Time is ripe to save old-growth Koksilah forest Support needed: Nature Trust, forest ﬁrm talking

new chance to save Cowichan’s remaining oldgrowth forest in the Koksilah River area needs immediate support by locals and all folks who care about nature. That this small tract of ancient trees is still standing is basically miraculous considering the surrounding clear cuts. Luckily, forestry giant TimberWest has inked a memorandum of understanding with the Nature Trust of B.C. on ways to save the Koksilah forest, and other island forest lands. That deal involves a “science-based” approach to protecting remaining areas of high ecological Door is open, value. Whether words now lead to deeds in let’s make it saving this ecological jewel remain to be seen. happen Let’s hope yesterday’s B.C. election will result in a government that will ensure this cherished patch of south Cowichan old growth can finally be saved. That’s a fair expectation given a predicted NDP government and the fact Cowichan Valley NDP MLA Bill Routley, and predecessor John Horgan, trumpeted the forest’s saving in recent years to no avail under a B.C. Liberal government. Routley has stated the Koksilah forest would fit tourism values of nearby Kinsol Trestle. The only reason the stand wasn’t logged, he explained, is because loggers refused to fall the majestic trees — and were later disciplined. Students and Aboriginal elders and regional politicians want the forest saved. Musicians The Wilds made a video, titled Mr. Douglas, about rescuing the rare forest. A price for this riverside jewel is unknown publicly — and it failed to make CVRD’s regional-parks acquisition list. It’s time to stop talking and start saving this magnificent forest, if only as a tourist reminder of what’s been lost in the past several generations.

Time to start investing in the right economy Robert Douglas

News Leader Pictorial

ur political leaders tell us again and again their top priority is to create jobs for Canadian workers. And many of them push for major development projects in the oil, gas and other non-renewable sectors, telling us that each one will create thousands upon thousands of new and high-paying jobs. We see this, for example, with the Conservative government’s support for the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline, which would transport oil from Alberta to the B.C. coast. “For our government, the choice is clear,” wrote Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver in an open letter making the case for the pipeline proposal. “We need to diversify our markets in order to create jobs and

economic growth for Canadians across this country.” According to Oliver and other Enbridge supporters, the new pipeline could lead to $5 billion in new investment and create thousands of short-term construction jobs as well as hundreds of long-term jobs in operating and maintaining the infrastructure. Conservative politicians and industry leaders make similar arguments in favour of the Alberta oil sands and other major projects in the oil and gas sector, telling us we can look forward to $500 billion in new investment during the next decade. But are investments in these industries really the best way to create decent-paying jobs? Hardly. While oil, gas and other non-renewable resources certainly do create thousands of direct and indirect jobs, investing in more environmentally sustainable sectors of the economy would create much higher levels

One of the biggest beneﬁts of living in Cowichan is the glorious wilderness that surrounds us. Among the biggest downers are those times your enjoyment of that wilderness is spoiled by loutish behaviour. The drunks, the litterers, the inconsiderate trail riders, the loud partiers, the target shooters — you know what we are talking about. The solution is simple: be considerate.

of employment. Numerous studies have found the oil and gas sector generates about four jobs for every $1 million invested. Coal is a little better, creating about seven jobs per million invested. But neither compares to renewable energy and other “green” sectors of the economy. Wind, solar, hydroelectricity and other renewable energy sources, for example, create 13 to 17 jobs per million invested. Retrofitting commercial and residential buildings to make them more energyefficient creates 17 new jobs per million invested. With mass transit and freight rail, it gets even better: 22 new jobs per million invested. That’s a real bang for your buck, creating five times as many jobs as you would get from the same investment in oil and gas. And we are not talking about low-skill,

minimum wage jobs here. For instance, many of the new positions that could be created in the renewable energy sector would be high paying and high skill. These would include jobs as engineers, mechanics, welders, electricians and equipment operators, to name but a few. With the evidence showing that shifting investment to more sustainable sectors of the economy could create higher levels of employment while reducing our impact on the environment, the question is this: what are we waiting for?

Remembering Emily Carr’s local visit

Walk of Hope’s call for assistance answered

Dear editor I would like to give a huge thank you to the Cowichan News Leader Pictorial for publishing my plea for help regarding the Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope. I am happy to say that Save-On Septic Services Ltd, have stepped up to the plate to assist and sponsor this walk. I have had several more phone calls from people wanting to help as well. The response from the article has lifted a huge burden off my shoulders. To clarify Duncan Curves involvement, they started this walk two years ago when I was first diagnosed, but for personal reasons, are unable to continue. I am finding that more and more women and their families have been affected by this devastating cancer. My goal is to bring awareness with early detection, and with the help of our local newspaper, the ball is now rolling. See you Sept. 8 at the Sportsplex. Jean Jordan

In my opinion: Artist’s reaction cool

f you can’t hitch a ride any other way, use your bicycle. That’s just what the young woman named Emily Carr did “back in the day.” In the early days of settlement and long before paved highways existed in these parts the normal mode of transport was walking/hiking, using horse and buggy via a rough trail, or boating upriver from Duncan to Cowichan Lake. There was also the bicycle. Although not a popular choice, it was an option for those very few that were hale and hearty as well as adventurous. In 1895, a budding young artist and poet Andrew Leong named Emily Carr, packed up her sketch book Kiana Holman shows Simone Conner the certificate she received at the Leaders of Tomorrow Awards, sponsored by and pencil, a few provisions and with a close Duncan Volunteer Cowichan and Leadership Vancouver Island, at the Island Savings Centre Heritage Hall late last month. friend, took the train from Victoria to Duncan.

Hydro crews earn overtime pay swapping unsafe concrete poles back to wooden ones as a fleet of trucks choked downtown Duncan Sunday. Businesses open Sunday ran on generator power. “Not every pole is a problem. This (bolt) problem was discovered over time. It has nothing to do with EMF, wi-fi or road salt.” One crew member said Sunday: “I can’t guess how much this is costing per minute.” Crews will change poles

downtown during two more visits, including one in June, Olynyk said. Hydro times its pole work to disrupt as few customers as possible, he said, noting generators were rented for businesses in downtown Duncan.

“We have to look at the impact on businesses and residents of Duncan if we did this work during the day. “We do it when there’s least impact on our customers; lots of businesses are closed today, so there’s no economic loss.’’

owntown Duncan was unplugged Sunday as BC Hydro crews swapped seven concrete poles for wooden ones to disconnect safety concerns. A crew member, busy on a truck-clogged Station Street, explained failing bolts in the concrete poles sparked the switch back to wooden poles. Hydro spokesman, Ted Olynyk, said Kamloops-based SCAC supplied the concrete poles erected in the 1970s. The $60-million replacement of some 9,400 poles with wooden ones will happen across B.C. during the next 10 years. “There are also $2 billion of capital upgrades being done across the province.” The pole switch could cause customer rate hikes, he indicated. “Everything we do has an impact on rates. We try and manage our costs.” Safety risks, too. Olynyk explained the pole swap addressed bolts weakened by constant current carrying.

Greeting pitched as Chinese tourists enjoy touring the City of Totems Mayor’s take: Demographics will dictate increased signage for foreign visitors

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

“N

i hao.” That’s Chinese for ‘Hello’, a greeting that would be welcomed by visitors to Duncan’s Chinese heritage sites, and its totems, a bus-tour driver said Sunday. His happy group of Chinese folks snapped photos of the world’s widest totem pole near the courthouse, but were unable to access the city’s Chinatown

photo alley due to BC Hydro pole-swapping work. The driver said he usually stops at Duncan’s train station for visitors to take the Totem Tour through downtown, and he’d welcome a greeting sign in Chinese there. Mayor Phil Kent signalled the bus driver had a good idea. “We’ve got a way-finding street project being undertaken right now,” he said of a Totem Tour kiosk and plinth signs — including a downtown Duncan map — being erected in Charles Hoey Park beside the heritage train

FAITH

station. Kent didn’t believe languages other than English are included in that project, worth about $40,000. “That’s something we can bring up with our tourism committee.” But Kent noted “demographics” could dictate which, if any, other languages — such as French, German or others — would grace the signage. “They’re (visitors) not all Chinese.” The Hoey Park project complements new totem plaques explaining details about each pole.

e’ve all heard the grumbles before. “Geez, they’d rather play with the box the present came in.” It happens often over Christmas and after birthday celebrations, the flashy gizmo tossed to the side and the packaging used for artwork or building a cool fort. It’s also a prime example for the inspiration of a new event coming to Cowichan families. “The goal of Play-Lot-Day is to offer children and families an opportunity to stretch their imagination and creativity with recycled materials, duct tape and paint,” says the promotional material for the May 25 event organized by Cowichan’s Success By 6. “A collection of donated recycled materials will offer hours of enjoyment, innovation and fun.” more on page 14

Kids urged to turn off screens, turn on their imaginations into their creative and imaginative tendencies rather than being glued to television programs, video games, iPods and iPads. Take American author Dan Yaccarino for example. “I spent my entire childhood unplugged,” Yaccarino has said in interviews. “What I really enjoyed doing was building things, drawing, writing.” His picture book Doug Unplugged about a robot who is tired of downloading information day after day, and goes on an adventure to explore the world around him, inspired not only families to follow suit, but a National Screen Free Week (April 29 to May 5). “It’s really about sharing ideas, communicating and cooperating,” explained local event organizer Court. “We’re opening up a whole world of new ideas.”

Affordable child care for everyone? Family ﬁrst: Cowichan’s Dolan still ﬁghting for implementation of universal child care plan

Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

nfortunately for modern parents, it’s inevitable both mom and pop are forced to work to maintain healthy lifestyles for their family. What’s troubling for Cowichan’s Mary Dolan, however, is folks having to crunch daycare costs with hourly work rates to determine whether it’s even viable. That, and the hard press to find close-by daycare spaces have Cowichan’s ringleader for local daycare issues, pushing a call-for-action for the Community Plan for Integrated Early Care and

Learning. The gist of the plan, drummed up by the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of B.C. and the Early Childhood Educators of B.C., is dropping fees and creating more options for facilities. “Basically, what we’re doing is we’re laying the foundation work for when the money comes,” said Dolan on the plan which details much-needed changes and startling statistics. “Canada ranks last among developed countries in supporting quality early care and learning programs,” it states. “Fees are high because, unlike libraries, parks and schools that receive public funds to cover most of operating costs, child care is primarily a user fee service.” Advocates are still lobbying for the pro-

Parental Guidance

Highlights of The Plan • Affordable Parent Fees: the Plan proposes a new public investment that will bring your fees down to $10 a day for a full-time program and $7 for a part-time program. Programs will be free for families with annual incomes under $40,000. • The Right to Participate: Under a proposed new Early Care and Learning Act, every B.C. child under age ﬁve will have the right to participate in a high quality early care learning program. • A New Home in the Ministry of Education: The Plan proposes that all early care and learning programs be the responsibility of the Ministry of Education. The Plan proposes publicly funded, high quality, universally accessible programs designed to meet particular needs of families and young children before they start school. • Early Years Centre Networks (EYC): The Plan proposes a new name, EYC, for programs that offer full-time daycare and part-time preschool programs for children before they enter kindergarten.

vincial government to endorse it. For Dolan, it’s about alleviating mothers’ worries of what they’re going to do once maternity leave ends as much as it’s ensuring children are given the right to participate in thriving early learning environments. “That is why every element of the proposed plan, from extended parental leave, to strong family policies, enabling legislation and adequate funding, is designed to support high quality, affordable, inclusive early care and learning services,” the plan states. But unfortunately, it’s not that cut and dried. Communities are scraping the bottom of the piggy bank for not only child care, but schools and health programs. And child care has received some government dough in the past. In 2006, the newly elected minority Conservative government replaced a Liberal plan for universal daycare with $100 per month cheques to parents with children under the age of six. But unfortunately $100 a month doesn’t fit the bill for those struggling to pay fulltime daycare which for most families is much closer to $1,000 a month. It’s not how Dolan would go about it either. “Instead of $100 a month to all families, the money needs to be directed,” she said. Dolan suggests anyone interested in advo-

Ashley Degraaf

Local child care advocate Mary Dolan is still pushing the feds to endorse more accessbility in child care plan. cating for more accessible daycare look up UBC family expert Paul Kershaw. Kershaw presented in Duncan in April 2012 on his work with the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) and Scholar of Social Care, Citizenship and the Determinants of Health. “He’s proposing extended maternity leave, another six months, more flex time for parents and holiday time,” explained Dolan. He’s also on board with the Plan’s $10 per day fee. “As it stands, the fees are too high and wages are too low,” summed Dolan. “He says we need a new deal and that we’ve been getting a bad deal,” Dolan said “We need to take the squeeze off of what he calls ‘Generation Squeeze.’”

losophy that has stuck to this day,” he said in an email to the News Leader Pictorial. “Eventually, a musical hobby turned in to something more.” With a distribution deal with URBNET Records, his debut album, Bringin’ the Hope Back, in heavy rotation on alternative radio in Canada, a series of opening slots for well-known acts like Swollen Members, Xzibit and Talib Kweli and collabora-

tions with members of Mother Mother and Sweatshop Union, Ill Tone’s star is on the rise. He will be performing at Duncan Garage Showroom May 15 with special guests Skulastic, Lennon, and Mister Waugh. Doors will open at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are $12, while entry at the door without tickets will be $15. Call 250-748-7426.

Dance season: Cobble Hill ballerina cites love of performing as a force behind her demanding profession as local troupes stage spring recitals Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

allerina Christie Wood chuckles when asked for people’s reactions after hearing she’s a professional dancer. “They say ‘Wow’, or ‘That must be lots of fun,’” she said, debunking any notion a dance career’s a cake walk. “As dancers, we try and make everything look easy, and some people don’t realize how physical it is — and hard on the body. “We rehearse so much that you hope your technique will show through on stage,” she said of Ballet Victoria’s ultra-honed positioning and movement that’s automatic by show time. “The performance aspect of it comes alive.” The Cobble Hill native turned pro some six years ago with BV, a frequent Cowichan visitor that tilled its Secret Garden locally last month. Wood, 27, cited BV choreographer Paul Destrooper’s Carmina Burana,

and her role as a stepsister in BV’s Cinderella, as her favourite ballets. She spoke to the News Leader Pictorial as hundreds of young dancers prepare to take the stage in the valley’s annual May/June run of dance studio showcases. She’s humbled by her career, launched from those same places. “I feel lucky because there are lots of amazing dancers out there, but very few spots. I just love performing. There’s a thrill to being alone on stage or with a group; there’s just lots of energy. Live performance in general is exciting.” Wood’s stage adventures began at age seven. “I started in Duncan at Russell’s dance school. I was with Russell’s from (age) seven to 12 when Russell’s transformed into Co-Dance.” At age 13, Wood leaped into dance studies with Victoria’s Island Dance Studio. “I decided I wanted to dance professionally when I went to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet at 13 for a summer session, and I continued training at

Island Dance Studio.” She spent time in the youth company at Vancouver’s Goh Ballet, before joining BV for its 2007-08 season. Wood hasn’t looked back, despite BV’s daily dance demands (“We train from nine to four, Monday to Friday”) for pay that’s far less than, say, a bank president’s.

“I still work a bit at Starbucks, and teach an adult ballet beginners’ class Mondays at Ballet Victoria,” said the five-foot five artist who taught a summer program last year at Duncan’s Carlson’s School of Dance. “I see lots of potential in young kids, and I want to work with them, but it’s such a short time with them. They’re so keen and eager.” Perpetual motion means not really worrying about what she eats. “Because you’re so active, as long as you eat healthily you don’t worry too much about it; it’s basically a balanced diet.” But Wood, who can burn out a pair of pointe shoes weekly, is most careful about staying fit to foil injuries. “It’s general maintenance. Many people have massage or physio, or do cross training like swimming or pilates.” Wood cited dancer and teacher Gavin Larsen as an inspiration. “She’s such a humble person, but so talented and really loves giving her talent to other people, and mentoring them.” There’s also support from Wood’s

Oak stages Romeo and Juliet

Brentwood opens Optical Window

he timeless tragedy of Romeo and Juliet graces the Duncan United Church this week with lsland Oak high school students mounting their version of what’s arguably Shakespeare’s most famous work. The cast of two-dozen actors, led by drama teacher Elliot Fox-Povey, includes Taya Wall as Romeo, Zofia Stroniarz as Juliet, Teo Djordjevic as Benvolio, Christofer Lampson as Mercutio, Nicolas Purainer as Friar Laur, Lucie Frotz as the nurse, Adrian Walker as Capulet, and Jasper von Herrmann as Paris. Subtitled Love in Conflict, the bard’s masterwork — probing human qualities of loyalty, lust, commitment, and goodwill — runs Wednesday and Friday at 7 p.m. at 246 Ingram St. Tickets are by $20 suggested donation. — Peter W. Rusland

BV colleagues. “It’s a really small company so you’re close; you get to know everyone really well.” That’s routine in Cowichan’s dance companies too, where Wood advised students to “keep at it and never give up.” “You have to really love dance — it takes lots of dedication. Just stick with it, work hard and be strong.” Wood follows her own advice. “I love art and design; anything creative. But if I wasn’t a dancer, I’d be a runner or something.”

Island Oak High School stages the bard’s timeless Romeo and Juliet this week.

Brentwood College photo students show 33 images this month in Optical Window.

hirty-three photos by Brentwood College students unlock an Optical Window this month at the Inspire! Shawnigan Gallery. Grade 12 shooters under teacher Paul Fletcher are showing shots in black-and-white and colour, sparked by noted photographers. Images span architecture and florals to abstracts. “We just spent a lot of time looking at famous photographers so the students could try and develop their own styles. “In January we picked images with potential and they narrowed it down to their favourite three,” Fletcher explained of Brentwood’s third-annual fine-art photography show based on digital and film work Optical Window that opens with a 2 to 4 p.m. reception May 12 at 1760 Shawnigan-Mill Bay Rd. — Peter W.

Save the Bread Van!

Did you know that the Cowichan Food Connection, which operates the Bread Van, relies on public donations to FUEL the Van? Our fuel bill alone is over $2000/month and many months we do not have the necessary funds & the bills are piling up. Every week we deliver in upwards of 3000 loaves of bread and baked goods throughout the Cowichan Valley. It is all donated to people who would otherwise go hungry (schools, Food Banks, Seniors Centres, & many more). Go to http:// cowichanfoodconnection.com to find out how you can help or contact the secretary, Kim Sayer at 250-856-0046 for more information.

Birth Announcements Marilyn GLASS (nee Mercx) 1962 â€“ 2013

Loving sister, daughter, aunt, niece, cousin and friend, Marilyn peacefully passed in hospital in Victoria, BC, on Saturday, May 4, 2013. Predeceased by her husband, Brendan, she leaves behind her mother, Trudy Mercx, brothers Brian and Rod (Deanna), sister Jenn (Brian) Brendzan, niece and nephew Olivia and Garrett, and numerous relatives on Vancouver Island and in The Netherlands. Born in Edmonton, she lived in Edmonton, Calgary and the Cowichan Valley for 50 short and impactful years. With a philosopherâ€™s yearning for truth, a studentâ€™s thirst for knowledge, a doctorâ€™s desire to heal, a motherâ€™s instinct to nurture, a counsellorâ€™s bent for compassion, Marilyn has taught us all, and continues to teach through her passing, about life and living, grace and dignity, and unconditional love. A special thank you to Dr. Teresa Elliott of Duncan, the absolutely amazing team of doctors, nurses and support staff on Unit 700S at Victoriaâ€™s RJH, and close friends and family present when Mar crossed over to â€œeverythingâ€?. A private celebration of life will be held for Marilyn on Vancouver Island. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Cowichan Valley Hospice or Cowichan Independent Living Society. Forever, anam cara...

he Cowichan Buckskin soccer tournament has a long-standing tradition and keeps getting better with age. Bill Thorne has been running the event for the last 26 years and Alex Nelson, a member of the Victoria T-Birds, made his 44th straight appearance in the tournament on the weekend. Such milestones are not uncommon as the tournament continues to carve its place in history through the next generation. The Cowichan Eagles are just a shadow of their former selves from the time they started out 28 years ago. All that’s left are brothers Dwayne George, who’s now 43 and couldn’t play due to injury, and Craig George, 41, from the time the team made its debut when they were teenagers. The great thing about today’s tournament, Dwayne George pointed out, is the advancement of youth soccer. There are divisions in the tournament for U16, U13, U10, U7 and even U5 that didn’t exist during the Georges’ heyday. “Now you see everything going in a different direction with the youth which is great to see,’’ said

rivalry that’s new is brewing between the Blue Steel Brew and the Crew in the Cowichan Women’s Football League. The Crew won 18-2 at McAdam Park Sunday over a Brew team that contains some of its former players. Marilou Sullivan (2) and Jessica LinesWikkerink scored touchdowns for the Crew. Darbi Atchison provided a sack on defence. Blue Steel Brew quarterback Holly Graham was out with an injury so Elija Espeseth stepped into the role. She did a great job, but the team just couldn’t finish drives for a TD. Espeseth kicked two singles for the lone Brew points. The Brew defence made the Crew work hard for everything it got. Brittany Stinson had two interceptions and a sack, Sam Stinson added three sacks, Jessica Knowles snagged a couple of interceptions and Mila Main collected an interception. Matrix, forced to forfeit to the Roofco Sirens Friday, came back to defeat the Wildfire 33-7. Scoring was well-balanced with two TDs by Emily Verbruggen, one each

from Gloria Locke, Sara Day and Caryn Taylor on an interception return and single-point converts from Marcie Welcher, Christine Cronin-Switzer and Taylor. Locke chipped in with an interception and Sabrina Desrochers a sack on defence. The Wildfire moved the ball, but couldn’t score other than a TD by Dieneke Pedersen and a convert by Keri McKelvie. Ginette Bilina contributed a sack. Moo’s Law came through with a big effort to defeat the Ravens 30-20. Barbie Smith was prolific for the Ravens in the loss with two TDs, including one run covering 45 yards. Rikki Wylie had the other Ravens’ TD while Jamie Russell scored a pair of onepoint converts. Big defensive plays came from Dana Thorne with an interception and Kelsey Scholz with a sack. Friday night action didn’t go as well for the Law in a 30-20 loss to the Brew. Roby Clement scored three TDs for the Brew with some great catches. Heidi Padjen and Kara Espeseth added TDs. The defence came up big with three interceptions from Knowles, two sacks by Kirbee Crisp and a Main sack. Jaimie Olson, Rachel Hastings and Kim Scafe put TDs on the board for the Law. Leanne Closson had two converts.

Ben Leech Being on the water a lot is second nature for Ben Leech, 15. The Grade 9 Frances Kelsey student is part of the famous Leech clan that skis regularly on Shawnigan Lake and many other locations beyond for competitions, camps and training. “My family’s done it for a while so I kind of just was born into it,’’ said Leech. Big brother Jed is both an inspiration and mentor for him. “He’s been coaching me for a while now,’’ said Ben. “We’ve been working a lot on slalom which is my weakest event, a little bit on trick and then not so much on jump.’’ Ben Leech had a great 2012, being named the most improved skier with Water Ski & Wakeboard B.C., taking fourth overall in three-event for his division at the nationals in Calgary and earning a gold medal for overall during the B.C. Summer Games. There’s not quite as much on the agenda this year, but a busy enough mix commencing in July with a tournament at Borderline Lake near Blaine, Washington, provincials at Campbell River, westerns in Abbotsford and nationals in Calgary again. “I’m going to do some training in the States coming up soon,’’ Ben added.

Shawnigan wins a classic island girls’ final Working overtime: Logan’s try decides a back-and-forth rugby affair between two rivals Don Bodger

Jumpy athletes include: Courtney Roscoe of Cowichan Secondary, above, leaping for maximum distance in the long jump and Nathaniel White of Chemainus Secondary, below, who clears 1.76 metres in the high jump during the district track and field meet at the Cowichan Sportsplex last Tuesday.

t wouldn’t have been a typical Shawnigan Lake School-Brentwood College game without plenty of drama. The senior girls’ AA rugby squads went to sudden-death overtime Saturday at Brentwood College to decide the island title and Shawnigan recorded the 22-17 victory on Georgia Logan’s decisive try. “I think on the day the better team won, but Brentwood’s pretty feisty,’’ said Shawnigan Lake coach Mark Hall. “It was a funny game. We took an early lead 10-0 and had all the momentum.’’ But control of the game started to shift somewhat and Brentwood got on the board to cut the deficit in half. Shawnigan responded for a 17-5 lead before Brentwood came racing back for the tying points, including a penalty try in front of the posts late in the game. “We had another chance to win it on a kick and we hit the goalpost,’’ said Hall. The first five-minute overtime passed without any scoring. Shawnigan tallied about midway through the second overtime. “It was a classic,’’ said Brentwood co-coach Marius Felix. “It was a back-and-forth affair. “Give Shawnigan credit. They started very well and scored a couple of quick tries.’’ Felix said the early deficit may have resulted from some complacency on Brentwood’s part. “We just weren’t fully engaged,’’ he said. “After that, it was a see-saw affair, just a clas-

ou can’t teach the resiliency shown by the Cowichan Secondary School girls’ rugby team. With the island AAA title on the line, the girls found a way to equalize with Vanier Saturday at Brentwood College on a try by Leah Theobald in the last few seconds and then won it 10-5 on an Allie White try in sudden-death overtime. “It was definitely a grind,’’ said Cowichan captain Sam Jory. “We did a lot of forward runs and we were able to swing it out to Leah. In overtime, we just basically had to do what we do best and make them run on their heels. “The way we handle stress, apparently it’s working.’’ Core members of the team had just gone through two previous overtimes to win the B.C. sevens championship. “I’ve coached a lot of games,’’ said Cowichan’s Brad Skene. “I don’t know if I’ve coached three overtime games before. It’s a bit of foreign territory for me.’’ Coming back at the very end like that, “speaks a lot about the character of the people on the team,’’ said Skene. “These guys are certainly pretty mentally tough.’’ “It was another chapter in a long history between the two

clubs,’’ noted Vanier coach Dwayne Mills. “Cowichan had steady defensive pressure that controlled our offense and they dominated the lineouts and scrums, which made it difficult for us to build off of any sort of platform from the restarts. “We managed to keep their main weapons of attack, Leah Theobald and Allie White, contained but fitness and casualties were our main enemies at the end of the game.’’ “I don’t think we played very assertive rugby for most of the game,’’ said Skene. “When they scored on us, all of a sudden we turned it on. “It went back and forth. We turned over too much ball, but we defended them very well.’’ “Vanier definitely stepped up their game from before,’’ said Jory. Both teams qualified for the provincial tournament at UBC where Cowichan goes in ranked No. 1 and Vanier 4. Carson Graham, at No. 2, and No. 3 Lord Tweedsmuir will be the other strongest contenders. Now, it’s down to the fine-tuning in practice. “We’re just focusing on what we need to fix,’’ said Jory. Little things like handling will make a difference, she added. “We just have to over the next week and a half get healthy,’’ said Skene. “We’re a little bit bangedup.’’

Andrew Leong

Pure determination of Cowichan speedster Allie White wins out over Emily Vossler of Vanier, who hangs on for dear life to try and stop her, but to no avail during overtime of the girls’ AAA Island rugby final Saturday at Brentwood College School. Leah Theobald scored the tying try with no time left in regulation to force overtime.
