Stoney Hill Road debate back and stalled by three-road divide Peter W. Rusland

T
he tortuous path in the Stoney Hill Road saga resumed Wednesday, with council paving more time for input. Stoney Hill Road’s $2.5 million route across forested Maple Bay Peninsula will likely be mapped by July 17, North Cowichan’s mayor says. Jon Lefebure noted he didn’t expect building of that upgraded, realigned, gravel road until at least 2014. But climbing costs, conservation and cultural logic could simply see the peninsula’s current municipal-forestry road straightened and made safer — essentially ducking higher bills without impacting sensitive areas, Lefebure indicated. Council returned to the bumpy-road debate with a staff report it ordered Feb. 6, delaying
decisions pending that report. “We passed a motion to accommodate consultation by July 17. That’s when we hope to have the consultative process concluded to choose which of the three routes to pick, and move ahead.” Council will now gather more feedback about those three options — each differing on how they pass through Bird’s Eye Cove Farm — from a group comprising Cowichan Tribes members, hill residents, citizens, and the farm’s owner. The 7.3-kilometre road is proposed to be upgraded, then wind to Fairweather roads east and west, plus Westshore Road near Octopus Point. A spur road, Stoney Hill 220, would lead to Paul Bourke’s land, as reached in a settlement agreement between him and council. Debate centres around the newest option, known as the residents petition road. Many of the proponents of the road — professionally surveyed on behalf of an area prop-

petition was based on — or perhaps simply moving forward by following and upgrading the existing forestry road. “The settlement-agreement road has some of the same concerns, but not to the same degree. The residents’ petition road would have to climb two bluffs; the settlement agreement road only climbs one,” the mayor said. Bird’s Eye Cove Farm owner Heather Skoretz said she backs Bourke’s statement explaining the residents’ petition road is the best and only route to minimize impact on her farm. The RPR surfaced after a proper survey was done, she explained. The settlement-agreement road was only approximate — and deviations from the settled road could spark a whole new petition process, she said. While Skoretz will receive $300,000, from council and Bourke, in compensation for lost farmland, she’s afraid about how the renovated road will cross and impact her land. “It should only be up to me where that road goes; it’s my land.”

erty owner — consider it the shortest, smoothest and best option. But council is balking after reports indicated rockwork costs for this would be some $615,000 more than an earlier estimate of Paul Bourke: $331,000. disappointed But Bourke says he trusts a professional roadbuilder’s estimate above that of a municipal bureaucrat “Council’s coming up with numbers to support what it wants to do,” he said. “We’re all pretty disappointed. I don’t know why they’re dragging this out. Council’s obligated to pass those bylaws.” Lefebure explained staff also said there are ecologically and culturally sensitive areas the residents’ petitioned road would impact. That leaves council returning to the settlement-agreement road — the route the road

ust a reminder that during the summer days and you’re spending the day outdoors, even when it’s cloudy, still apply sunscreen. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun can’t be seen or felt and has nothing to do with temperature but still can burn even on cloudy days. Heart disease is 8 times more deadly than breast cancer and it kills more women each year than all cancers combined. Sometimes, the symptoms of a heart attack in women are different from men. There may be shortness of breath, sweating, unusual fatigue and may include chest pain. Waste no time calling 911 if these symptoms are happening to you. Brittle or cracking finger nails is often due to loss of moisture in the nails. A clear nail polish can help reduce moisture loss even for men. Historically, people used to take gelatin capsules for this problem but it doesn’t really work. Gelatin contains protein but it doesn’t contain the two amino acids, lysine and tryptophan, two important building blocks to making protein. Food protein sources are best. “Swimmer’s ear” is an inflammation of the outer ear canal caused by prolonged wetness of the area during swimming. Symptoms include pain, itching and a feeling of fullness. A home remedy you might keep on hand is a mixture of equal parts rubbing alcohol and vinegar. Instill a few drops into the ears after swimming and it helps to dry out the area.

Salmon enhancement bookkeeper to get sentencing date next week
UP FRONT
A sentencing date will be set next week for Ernestine Elliott, who was found guilty in March of theft over $5,000. Elliott’s case was set over until next Tuesday, June 11 at 2 p.m. Findings from a pre-sentence report previously
ordered by Judge Adrian Brooks will factor heavily in the eventual sentence handed down. Elliott was a receptionist/bookkeeper with the Cowichan Tribes’ Salmon Enhancement Project and accused of writing more than 250 cheques to herself

amounting to approximately $200,000 during a three-year period. Elliott has no previous criminal record and the court wanted to find out more about the circumstances of the thefts before proceeding with the case.

magine the unimaginable. It is the middle of the night and a young, blended family sleeps peacefully in its beds. In the wee hours, you and your common-law partner are awakened by a knock at the door and suddenly, your world is turned upside down. Your children are seized by authorities and you and your partner are arrested and taken to jail. It sounds like the plot of a bad movie set in some far away, totalitarian state, but according to Lake Cowichan resident, Eileen Pilkington, that is just what happened to her in tQuebec in the 1950s. Pilkington was a young mother, married to a Canadian airman, who left her. Alone with her infant daughter Mona, she moved in with her mother and worked in a restaurant to support herself and her child. At work, she met a man whose wife had left him alone with their three children. “Basically, we moved in together. It was an accommodation of convenience,” said Pilkington. Pilkington then stayed home to care for the four children, while her partner went to work to support them. According to Pilkington, a knock came on the door in the middle of the night and two policemen arrested the couple. The children were also taken into custody by the latter-day Quebec equivalent of our Ministry of Children and Family Development. Pilkington and her partner were before a judge within hours and charged with “living immorally and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.” In her words, their crime was simply living together as an unmarried couple with their respective children under the same roof. Quebec is the only province in Canada to have a civil code, nicknamed by some a “social constitution.” The code dealt with issues like family law, child custody and parental authority. Quebec’s civil code underwent a massive overhaul in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s as social attitudes changed. “I was pregnant when I was taken to jail and when the baby came, I was taken to hospital. I gave birth and the baby was immediately taken away. I wasn’t even allowed to hold her,” said Pilkington. “All I saw was a black head of hair when they carried her from the room. One of the nurses whispered in my ear that she was healthy and a girl.” On her return to incarceration, she was interviewed by the institution’s matron, who, after reviewing Pilkington’s paperwork, advised her to seek further legal help. After getting a lawyer to review the charges, they were dismissed and Pilkington and her partner were released shortly after, but were unable to regain custody of their children. “We tried everything: lawyers, searching records, but it’s like they had the paperwork and records buried,” said Pilkington. Pilkington and her partner married shortly after and had another child together in 1960, a daughter, Brenda. Pilkington’s second husband (and father of Brenda and the other baby she gave birth to while in custody) died of cancer in 1978. In 1983, Pilkington moved to B.C. to care for her aging mother. In 1984, she married Sam Pilkington, the love of her life. After Sam retired from his job at Royal Columbian Hospital, the couple decided to spend their retirement years in

Sam passed away several years ago. Brenda, the youngest daughter, and her husband Claude Cadieux were mainstays in Sam and Eileen’s life, but always she held hope that she would someday find her two other daughters. When she remarried, she again registered with Childfind Canada under her married name, giving all the details that she had about her two missing daughters. Meanwhile, her daughters, Mona and Aileen were on the other side of the country, doing the same. “I always had a hole in my gut, that unknown spot. Why? How?” said Aileen Dawson, the now-grown daughter who was taken at birth. “I couldn’t imagine a mother giving up a baby.” For elder daughter, Mona Derubeis (nee Hart), the feelings were the same. At age 18, the legal age in Quebec when she could start seeking answers without her adoptive parent’s consent, she began to search. While Dawson’s adoptive parents were loving and supportive of her search for her roots, Derubeis had to go it alone. “Aileen was the first to find us,” said Pilkington. “It was incredible!” Aileen had suffered a cancer scare in 2004 and needed medical information about her birth parents. Pilkington was tracked down and non-personal information was exchanged between
mother and daughter. Eventually the two were able to make contact, first by letters, telephone, Skype, then in person, when Dawson flew from Quebec to see her mother and meet her younger sister, Brenda for the first time. “It took me three days to read through the first letter. I’d read a line and cry and cry, then read another line,” said Dawson. “The first phone call, I had to get my husband to dial the number I was shaking so hard. I was terrified and exhilarated at the same time.” Finally, two years ago, eldest daughter Mona was able to, at long last track down her mother. A private investigator she hired had been on the case for five years when the breakthrough came. Younger sister Brenda answered the phone the day the magic call came. “My mom was cooking supper and I told her, you really need to sit down,” laughs Brenda. “I’m talking to Mona.” Last week, the two elder daughters flew from Quebec for a reunion at their mother’s Lake Cowichan home. After more than 50 years, the family is finally reunited. “You hear horror stories of biological children being reunited with their parents, but there’s no such thing as that here,” said middle daughter Aileen. “Everybody, all of us, wanted so badly to be together. I feel like the richest person on this Earth. I finally have a complete family.”

wenty-five merry little Bamboletta dolls are being sent to Oklahoma’s tornado-ravaged zone. “We’re sending 25 dolls to one of my customers who works with a church in Oklahoma,” said Bamboletta owner Christina Platt, who heard from customers wishing to send the happy dolls to cheer folks in the Sooner State. “I put a call out to my custom-
ers. I have lots of customers in the States — I like doing these things.” She was unable to put the News Leader Pictorial in touch with a spokesperson in the twister zone for comments by press time. But Platt’s globally collected, organic dolls — made by a squad of valley folks — are expected to be distributed to kids affected by recent twisters trashing what’s called Tornado Alley. “The school and all those kids who were lost...” Platt said, trailing off as she reflected on a recent tornado that touched down in Monroe. American Bamboletta lovers are close to her heart. “More than 90% of my dolls go into the U.S. “It seems so tragic and sad about

all those kids affected,” she said of an intended hopeful message for affected families struggling to rebuild their shatters lives. “Normally I give my dolls to hospitals, and sick kids, individually. “We did a pretty big one at Christmas to Jeneece Place,” she said of the family-stay facility at Victoria General Hospital. Bamboletta chemo-therapy dolls have also been sent, from Platt’s Whippletree Junction base, to Ronald McDonald House in Vancouver, and to a women’s shelter in Victoria. She’d like feedback about her company’s helping hand. “I love giving everything away,” she said of her Bambolettas fetching about $200 each, “but I rarely hear back about where they go.”

otorists headed to Victoria had their way blocked yeaterday morning after a tractor-
trailer mishap. The rig lost its load in the southbound lane about five kilometres north of the Malahat summit, closing that lane at around 7:30 a.m. All lanes were open by 10:25 a.m. Meanwhile, traffic flow quickly
returned to normal Friday on the Malahat after a piece of heavy machinery left an embankment around noon near the Petro-Can gas station, Malahat’s fire chief says. “There were no injuries,” chief Rob Patterson said from the mainland, where he’d heard about the wreck. He confirmed the truck driver managed to get out of the rig on his own. “We paged Mill Bay (fire hall) out for mutual aid and Shawnigan Lake (fire crew) for high-angle rescue.

Statement of Financial Information
Peggy Hunt
In accordance with Section 814.1 of the Local Government Act, the 2012 Statement of Financial Information for the Cowichan Valley Regional District will be presented at the June 12, 2013 Board Meeting. Copies of this report are now available at the Regional District Office or on our website at www.cvrd.bc.ca. Time: Location:

Public Notice of Annual General Meeting
6:30 p.m. Cowichan Valley Regional District Board Room 175 Ingram Street DUNCAN, BC V9L 1N8
The Cowichan Food Connection advises that their AGM will be held on
July 9th, 2013.
Sharon Moss, C.G.A. Manager, Finance Division Phone: (250) 746-2500 Fax: (250) 746-2513 Email: cvrd@cvrd.bc.ca Website: http://www.cvrd.bc.ca
Meeting will be held in the boardroom located at The News Leader Pictorial office at #2-5380 Trans Canada Hwy, Duncan, BC V9L 6W4 from 4 to 6 pm. Agenda includes: Member elections, review of bread van deliveries and fundraising for the upcoming year.
Barak Enterprises Ltd. has requested a Temporary Use Permit for up to a three year period, to allow a daycare use to be established in the part of the building on the subject property shown above that is not presently occupied by the Subway take-out restaurant. The daycare use would commence operations at the beginning of July 2013. The subject property is presently zoned as Local Commercial C-2 under Electoral Area B Zoning Bylaw No. 985, 1986, which permits a wide range of commercial uses, but does not permit daycare. Draft South Cowichan Zoning Bylaw No. 3520, which will likely replace Zoning Bylaw No. 985 sometime later in 2013, proposes a commercial zone for this site that includes daycare as a permitted use; however, Bylaw No. 3520 will not be adopted in time for the July 1st opening date for this proposed daycare. The Temporary Use Permit, if approved by the CVRD Board of Directors, would be in effect until such time as Zoning Bylaw No. 985 is repealed, or three years, whichever comes first. Should you believe your interests to be affected by the proposed Temporary Use Permit, you may submit your comments in writing to the CVRD Planning and Development Office, at 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC V9L 1N8 from Friday, May 31, 2013, to Wednesday, June 12, 2013 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Written comments may be mailed or deposited at the Regional District offices or faxed to 250-746-2621 or emailed to ds@cvrd.bc.ca. Any comments received by June 12, 2013 at 4:30 p.m. will be considered by the Regional Board at that evening’s Board meeting, when the resolution to issue the Temporary Use Permit will be considered. A copy of the Temporary Use Permit Application and relevant support material may be examined at the CVRD Planning and Development Office, at 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC from Friday, May 31, 2013, to Wednesday, June 12, 2013, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. For further information, please call Mike Tippett, Manager of Community & Regional Planning Division, Planning & Development Department at 250-746-2620 or email to ds@cvrd.bc.ca.

“As soon as rescue got on scene, our incident commander stood everyone else down.” He was unsure why the rig careened over the edge. “It sounded like a roller packer for working on the side of the highway,” Patterson explained of ongoing centre-median construction near the accident site. “He might have gotten too close to the edge.” — Peter W. Rusland

Lake Cowichan ready to bring the hammer down on dangerous and unsightly homes
Wedgwood House
Independent Living Community for Seniors
On notice: Four buildings targeted, action demanded, or they will come down
Tamu Miles
Lake Cowichan Gazette
A
re you tired of driving by the old, run-down, dilapidated buildings scattered around Lake Cowichan? Are you tired of wondering if your teenager will be the victim of a collapsed roof when using these buildings as a hang-out refuge on weekends? Many were during a contentious public meeting held in early 2012. Well, Mayor Ross Forrest and town council were pleased to announce something is being done. Joseph Fernandez, the town’s chief administrative officer, presented mayor and council with a report May 28: • Four properties have been inspected • Owners were served notice their buildings are in hazardous condi-
Tamu Miles
This building on Cowichan Avenue is one of four put on demolition notice by the town of Lake Cowichan. tion, they are a nuisance (derelict in appearance), and that action must be taken to rectify identified problems. • The property owners, whose properties are located on Cowichan Ave, South Shore Road, and Darnell Road, have 14 days to appeal the findings and 30 days to take action • If nothing happens, the town will demolish the buildings at the owner’s expense. “This report goes to
show that the process does take a considerable amount of time,” said Councillor Tim McGonigle. “Hopefully this will trigger some of the other ones to climb on board and mitigate some of their problems as well.” Council acknowledged there are many other buildings within the town’s limits — both commercial and residential — that are unsafe or unsightly. “I think this shows that this is just the start of the
process,” said McGonigle. “There have been a number of other properties identified which will either come as reports later or perhaps they will take the time to mitigate some of the (concerns).” The Cowichan Lake Chamber of Commerce, along with many local business owners, had demanded the town take action. “It’s nice to see something happening,” Cowichan Lake District Chamber of Commerce president Rita Dustow told the Gazette. “It’s all about pride of ownership. We need to find a way to encourage people to have pride of ownership, because that’s what it’s all about at the end of the day.” Forrest said the town’s plan is unfolding as it should. “These actions do take a long time,” he said. “And the process is playing out the way it is intended to.”

Coach Hunter fundraiser packs ‘em in
Taste the Savings! Fresh Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
C
oach Hunter is a big step closer to heading stateside for medial advice about his rare bone disorder. A total of $701.50 was raised for local youth Hunter Brockenborough, 10 — an avid Cowichan Bulldogs’ football fan — during a May 31 Duncan Garage Showroom fundraiser led by valley tunesmith Parker Schmidt and his duo. “The show was sold out,” said Parker’s mom, Laurie. “Everyone had a great time. It was awesome. Longevity John
Falkner (Showroom owner) donated his revenue from the evening as well, helping us reach our total of $701.50. The funds will help foot bills for Hunter and mom, Linnette, to visit San Antonio’s Children’s Hospital in August for exploratory consultation with doctors about Hunter’s painful, bone-fusion condition called KlippelFeil syndrome. Donations can be made at Duncan’s TD branch under the Hunter Brockenborough account. — Peter W. Rusland

A
weekly compilation of facts, figures, and fascinating Cowichan culture: • Albertine In Five Times, Shawnigan Players’ dense drama by Michel Tremblay, earned South Island Zone theatre Oscars last weekend, including Best acting ensemble (Leslie Sanchez, Megan Bourns, Jessie Mann, Anna Roberts,
Sherry Lavoie, Maggie Sullivan); Best performance by a novice actor: Jessie Mann; and Best director: Alex Gallacher. It’s also fascinating how Cowichan songsmith Paul Ruszel was so moved by Players’ dark drama, that he penned the tune, Albertine. The award-winning singer played his delicate number on guitar after each recent performance. • The Cowichan Valley Arts Council’s Best of the Best Travelling Show participants are valley artists

is writing. “That was my first love,” he said. “I have to write. It’s like a disease.” Buchanan’s the author of seven novels and is frequently working on magazine pieces, mostly on topics of his faith, on top of his own personal blog posts and sermons he composes for New Life. “The need to write woke up in me when I was 12, and grew into something fierce and wild and holy,”
he said on his website. “All my books have come from this.” “He’s a wordsmith who’s infectious in his efforts to win hearts to Christ,” praised Judson. “He instilled in New Life’s DNA that to claim to have faith without action is useless. As believers we are called to go beyond our church walls to help the less fortunate. “Over Mark’s 17 years at New Life he’s grown many vibrant ministries by encouraging leaders to have big, hairy, audacious dreams.” Under Buchanan’s lead, New Life has been a well-known fixture in the community with charity programs. They include: JumpStart Back to School for financially challenged families; Kidz On the Road — a team of volunteers that travels to Boys Road each Sunday afternoon to sing, play and read to the children (the same group goes to the parks during the summer months); Needs & Extras Ministry, which matches people with extra goods to those who are in need; The Great Bed Give Away, which in January distributed 160-plus box springs and mattresses to people in need; youth gatherings at New Life on Friday nights; and sending mission teams to Bolivia. Buchanan credits the folks who volunteer around the church, and the 12 staffers who he said are crucial in its success. In the meantime, he’s got a couple months to prepare for his new position, as well as say goodbye to his Cowichan friends. Folks at the church are hosting a goodbye celebration Sunday, June 15. A pancake breakfast as well as a evening reception are in the works. Buchanan’s replacement is still to be determined.

to fill. And that’s for reasons beyond being considered New Life Baptist Church’s hip leader. In his own words, Mark Buchanan’s leaving behind 17 years of his smell and fingerprints around the church located on Tzouhalem Road starting June 16. “There aren’t many people catnapping at our church as Mark’s the most ‘un-boring’ preacher I know,” testified New Life pastoral assistant Marita Judson who’s worked with Buchanan for nearly seven years. Buchanan leads the charges and day-to-day activities around the church, which has an average of 550 to 600 folks attending on Sundays, and a membership of about 1,200. He’s also the author of seven books, a conference speaker, a blogger, reader, gardener, woodworker, fishermen and scuba diver. And a father of three. Buchanan starts his new post as an associate professor of Pastoral Theology at Ambrose Seminary in Calgary, Alberta Aug. 1. “I honestly thought I’d die here,” Buchanan, 53, said from his crammed but comfy-cozy office at New Life Wednesday. The call from Ambrose president
Gordon Smith came through to Buchanan in October, but he “laughed it off” at first, he said. “Then my wife said to me maybe I needed to pay attention to this one,” he said, explaining he’s received many calls about different positions, conferences and opportunities. “Most of those calls, I couldn’t get off the phone fast enough.” His heart was with New Life. “You sort of become immersed in the life of the community,” he said. “I’m walking away not just from a job, but this rich and nourishing community.” Buchanan said he’s seen Cowichan evolve to a comfortable place, where leaders are thriving and popping up in every corner, and huge strides have been made. “Now there’s a sense of courage,” he said, specifically referring to New Life’s work with connecting the church community with First Nations folks. “If that doesn’t go down as my legacy, I’d be crushed,” Buchanan said, noting weekly visits to the reserve, or what he calls a reverse of the residential school system, where folks from the church with permission from Cowichan Tribes take their teachings to the reserve. “We’ve been doing that for four years now,” he explained. “My dream since I started here was eventually that wall would just one day crumble,” he said of divisions between First Nations and the rest of the community. “Everyone plays a part in this and sometimes it takes a long time. It took a long time for the revolution to become the revolu-

olk legend Judy Collins headlines the Islands Folk Festival this year, performing Saturday, July 20. The 29th-annual lawn party for 3,000 fans of all folk flavours runs July 19 to 21. Its 40-plus roster also offers ‘70s guitar god Shawn Phillips, the Jim Byrnes Blues Band, Canadian folk icon Connie Caldor, Ruth Moody of Wailin’ Jennys’ fame, plus children’s favourite Rick Scott. IFF 29 features six stages spread throughout the picturesque grounds of Providence Farm, with dancing, workshops, and onsite camping, an email from the Cowichan Folk Guild’s Robert McCourty says. “We only allow a maximum of 3,000 people
on site throughout the weekend. “We have no intention of getting bigger. We would lose that special Islands Folk Festival vibe we’ve achieved,” he says. “We strive to maintain our community atmosphere while producing a world-class event for our festival attendees. We get better every year, not bigger.” IFF 29 boasts more than 40 acts, ranging from a newly introduced dance component with four different folk dance styles, to spoken-word icons Robert Priest and Max Layton. Also coming is worldbeat music from Three Worlds and younger generation favourites, Harlan Pepper and The Wooden Sky plus authentic Cajun music direct from Louisiana by Jeffery Broussard and the Creole Cowboys. “There is something for everyone of every age,” says Mc-

Bandits put Chad on the map with Mini World Cup win in Parksville The Cowichan Bandits U11 boys’ soccer team represented the valley well and put Chad on the map by playing under the African nation’s banner in a Mini World Cup at Parksville. The Bandits, coached by Ron Glass and Derek Lamont, went undefeated in four games.
The Bandits won 2-0 over Turkey (Comox) on goals by Adyn Lamont and Nick Mendenhall, with Jake Dorby posting the shutout. Finn Glass (2), Sophie Miranda (2) and Lamont then scored in a 5-1 win over Costa Rica (Powell River). Next was a 6-3 decision over the
Czech Republic (Campbell River), as Justin Marinier scored three times and Peyten Moreside, Mendenhall and Glass had singles. The finale was a 6-1 win over Austria (Port Alberni). Shane MacLeod, Ben Williams, Raphael Park and Cam Stevens were other members of the squad.
Weather cuts national rowing regatta short
Heat feat: With no finals, the qualifying races count more than usual in the outcome of events Don Bodger

other Nature stole the thunder from the competitors in the Canadian Secondary Schools Rowing Association Regatta in St. Catharines, Ont. The wind was clearly taken out of the sails of Brentwood College, Shawnigan Lake School and other crews from across the country when weather prevented the regatta from being completed for the first time in nearly 70 years. Friday and Saturday schedules were cut short due to high winds and heavy rain. By Saturday afternoon, the 2,000-metre course was shortened to 1,000 metres. Following Sunday heat races, the regatta was shut down completely at 2 p.m. “The weather is the story,’’ said Brentwood’s Head of Rowing Debbie Sage. “Never in the history of the regatta has anything like this happened.’’ Brentwood has been sending crews to the regatta for 42 years. “The weather this year was unprecedented in regards to how bad it was,’’ Brian Carr, coach of the senior men’s eight, indicated. “The finals was a washout,’’ said Shawnigan Lake School’s Head of Rowing Tim Coy. “We had six boats that made the finals. They just went off the times off the heats.’’ Obviously, there was extreme disappointment on the part of the rowers that the regatta couldn’t be finished. “It can’t be helped,’’ said Coy. “There was nothing they could do.’’ “The medals were awarded with heat times,’’ explained Sage. “Most of the kids only had one race in each of their events. It was hard to keep them up and ready to race.’’ Brentwood and Shawnigan crews both did extremely well up to the point of cancellation. “Going into Saturday, we had 13 crews that should have been racing out of 15 ,’’ said Sage. Eight made the finals based on heat times in the end, with six resulting in medals. “That’s a pretty good average for us,’’ said Sage. “I feel sorry for the other kids,’’ she said. The senior women’s eight of Caroline Cakebread, Annika Spence, Tara Christensen, Ailish Tinney, Spencer Manton, Mariel Frank, Kirsten McNeill, Joanna Lancashire and Carolyn Barakso was particularly stung, losing the gold medal and settling for silver by three seconds. They were well ahead in their heat, winning by 12 seconds, and didn’t row hard into the finish. Had they known that was going to be their last race, their approach would have been a lot different. “They were probably the most disappointed group we had,’’ said Sage. “There’s a whole bunch of what ifs. There’s really been no closure.’’ The happiest of the lot in the end was probably the Brentwood senior men’s eight of Rielly Milne, Thomas Griffith, Luke Bertozzi, Jonathan Hill, Joel Barrette, Jeff Birtwistle, Ian Stothart, Dane Broere and Nick Ridenour that won the gold medal and the prestigious Calder Cleland Trophy.

Calder Cleland Trophy is about as prestigious in rowing as the Stanley Cup in hockey. That’s a big reason for the Brentwood senior men’s eight to celebrate despite a shortened regatta. Below, members of the junior boys’ eight from Shawnigan Lake School are on deck to receive their gold medals. Bottom, Brentwood’s senior women’s quad wins the bronze medal. “The senior men’s eight were rowing Sunday morning in their semifinal,’’ explained Carr. “For four of the guys, it was their first race of the weekend and the first time on the water in two days.’’ They posted a time of 2:45.24 that Carr believes is the fastest in school history over 1,000 metres. After the boat was put away, the other heats produced top times of 2:51.56 and 2:50.49. Brentwood had the fastest time going into the final that never happened and won the school’s 15th national championship in the senior men’s 8+. Kelly Agnew, Joel Crumb, Hayden Frisch and Niko Praun also won gold in senior men’s quad. Bronze medalists from Brentwood included: junior men’s four with coxswain (Malcolm Conn, Matt Forward, Tyler Pickford, Jason Hunter, Jackson Hooke); senior women’s quad (Tara Christensen, Spencer Manton, Annika Spence, Ailish Tinney); and the junior men’s eight (Malcolm Conn, Reid Anderson, Alex Ridenour, Anton Schultz, Scott Wheaton, Matt Forward, Jason Hunter, Tyler Pickford, Jackson Hooke).

etirement has never been part of Larry Hopwo’s vocabulary. But all good things must come to an end and the long-time president of the Chemainus and District Baseball Association announced during the awards ceremony for the mosquito baseball tournament bearing his name that he will be retiring from the position before next season. “We didn’t think the day would come,’’ noted vice-president Phil Simpson. “He is always talking about it but we think he is serious this time.’’ But the Hopwo Invitational Mosquito tournament will live on. The ninth-annual event played last weekend at the Chemainus Ball Park featured great displays of talent from the seven competing teams. Four teams from Duncan — the Rockies, Pirates, Jays and Cubs — were joined by the Comox Cardinals, Salt Spring Island Mariners and Oceanside. Duncan took the top three spots, with the Rockies finishing first, the Pirates second and Jays third. Comox was named the most sportsmanlike team. Teams played four games in the round robin phase, leading up to the final where the Rockies defeated the Pirates 9-2. Carter Blandin pitched the first two innings for the winners, with Taylor Webb and Nick Keck completing the duties. The Rockies, coached by Doug Cornett, Tony Webb and Dean

A Hopwo descendants award was started a few years ago, Simpson pointed out, for any relatives of his playing in the tournament. The honour this year went to Hopwo’s grandson Braden Blace. “The highlights of the weekend was probably the weather finally getting nice and the excellent level of mosquito ball that was played,’’ noted Simpson. Members of all the teams conducted themselves extremely well. Pitching restrictions were in place, making it necessary for teams to use several different players on the mound during the course of the games. There were no tired arms and pitchers gave it everything they had.

owichan Peewee Bulldogs are on quite a streak in the Greater Victoria Minor Football Association. The Bulldogs have racked up 132 unanswered points in the last four games after beating the Nanaimo Redmen 42-0 Sunday on the road. Nanaimo tried the aerial route on Cowichan after being unsuccessful at moving the ball along the ground. Pressure from the defensive line and great coverage by the defensive backs made sure that plan didn’t work, either. The Bulldogs’ defensive charge was led by linemen Brayden Belton, who finished with two quarterback sacks, Ryan Haywood and Dennis McDonnell. Defensive back Hunter Miller also came up big to help shut down the Nanaimo passing game. Cowichan’s offensive line dominated Nanaimo from the start of the game, with centre Logan Swanson leading the way. Linemen Dalin Koons and Amy Swanson made key blocks throughout the game to clear the way for their teammates. Offensive tackle Bradley Wilson opened up holes big enough for a bus to drive through. Rieley Zarate engineered the offense, completing three of five passes, including two to receiver Damian McCuaigJones for touchdowns. McCuaig-Jones ran for a third TD in the first half while Owen Kirk posted the extra point. Fullback Bailey Lamont rumbled through the defence to finish the day with more than 100 yards rushing and a pair of TDs. Running back Jake Paras also added a TD. “This was by far the best team effort I have seen from this group of kids,’’ noted coach Trent Jones. The team is playing outstanding football, but will have to keep working hard because there is always room for improvement.’’ The Pre-Atom Bulldogs played a

rematch against Nanaimo and emerged victorious 22-6. The offense started the game by marching the ball down the field, ending with running back Treyon McCuaig-Jones scoring a TD. The unstoppable ‘Dogs’ defence then made short work of Nanaimo’s offense with a quick two-and-out. Causing major havoc on the offensive line, nose tackle Harrison Padur and guards Santiago Erding and Hunter Fenn effectively took on all five of the Lions’ linemen and left the outside open for ends Cyrus Upshaw and Brock Lamont. Running back Jack Napier-Ganley scored one of his two TDs and caught a pass on the conversion to put the ‘Dogs ahead before the half. James Morton and Jaxson Jones stepped into the running back position and moved the ball effectively in the second half. McCuaig-Jones sacked the quarterback for a safety, using his lightning reflexes. Linebackers Max Vaesen and Sawyer Ellison made huge hits along the way. The Atom Bulldogs went to Nanaimo hoping to duplicate their 18-6 result over the Redmen in a previous meeting. The first quarter was a tough one, as the Cowichan offense couldn’t capitalize on some great plays that included a catch and run by William (Wild Bill) Hardman. There were some huge plays on the defensive side. Boston Hardy, T.J. McCuaig-Jones and Felix Wilson were spectacular as defensive backs. The first half was scoreless, but the Bombers put together a great drive to open the scoring on a broken play. The defence continued to play well. Liam Hennig ensured his gap was controlled at nose guard. The Bombers scored again in the fourth quarter. Rhys Smiley responded on the ensuing kickoff, finding a hole and running 80 yards for a TD, but Cowichan fell short. “Many players played throughout the swelter and for that were unsung heroes,’’ noted coach Jeff McDonald.

Dogged debate eventually down to your choice
Feral dogs: no easy answers when deciding what to do about dogs attacking livestock
V
ery little polarizes Cowichan residents as much as discussion about animals. Some consider them creatures of a purer, more beautiful plane of existence, living innocently outside the baser emotions that govern humanity and civilization, controlled by some benign natural order that works in harmony, at least until mankind starts interfering. To others, they are lower creatures in the world pecking order, placed on this Earth as either trials to be endured or eradicated, or as tools to be used as Trap them we see fit. And within those extremes, there if you can, are all kinds of variations depending shoot them if on how individuals choose to draw personal boundaries: wild versus you must domestic, native versus invasive, scaly versus furry, pets versus food. Look no further than the debate about dogs running loose in the Cowichan Bay area frightening residents and killing livestock. Some look at them as poor creatures abandoned by their owners reverting to instinctual behaviour because they know no better. Others look at them as dangerous predators — threats to their property, or even their loved ones. The strange truth is, both versions are probably right. This is a complicated situation where right and wrong changes based on the situation. It is sensitive, emotionally loaded ground that needs to be walked carefully. And that’s why we support the continued efforts of the CVRD animal control to make it their preference to trap and rehabilitate these dogs if at all possible. And we support any decision by a local farmer to use a firearm if it becomes necessary to protect their farm.

Enbridge pipeline proposal is not dead yet Tom Fletcher Black Press
S
ome people were surprised on Friday when the B.C. government released its final written submission to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of the project, but it’s not as simple as that. Premier Christy Clark and B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake signalled several times before the election that they were not getting the answers they wanted from Enbridge. But they stuck to the principle that the hearings must be completed. The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Liberal government had forfeited its own review and handed jurisdiction over the environmental assessment to Ottawa. In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is by definition a matter of federal jurisdiction. B.C.
could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated preference, but in no circumstance does the province have a veto. And both the B.C. Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for further talks. A closer reading of their comments shows that the key difference at this stage is one of timing. “The panel must determine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certificate is granted,” Lake said. “Our government does not believe that a certificate should be granted before these important questions are answered.” According to Enbridge executive Janet Holder, those important questions can’t all be answered until the hearings are over. The company maintains that every river crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the two-year hearings.
We’re not sure how significant this deal actually is. It’s not like it’s 1978 and the only access the people have to their hockey team is the game report in the local paper? The internet is already filling the info void while letting fans interact. Finally, how many times are Capitals fans going to stay home and listen to the radio instead of actually heading out to the arena to see the game?
BC VIEWS
B.C.’s final submission runs to nearly 100 pages. It goes into detail on the inconsistencies and unanswered questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water. In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its density. These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilderness and heavy snow. Given both provincial and Aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed. Last week, Conservative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the current project does not
meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions. The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years? Does the government take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that, and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today. Tom Fletcher is the legislative reporter for Black Press.

YOUR TURN
What’s your reaction to Victoria rejecting the proposed Enbridge pipeline? “I’m glad there’s not going to be a lot of time, money and effort wasted on this topic anymore. People don’t want it.”
Karen Husted, North Cowichan
“Being government, I’m surprised it was rejected. I thought it was a done deal because it’s all about money, but does this mean the Liberals listened to the people?”
Erin Miller, Mill Bay

Don’t feed the wrong perception of dogs
After Kerry Park pool fiasco, how can we trust them to listen?
Dear editor The whole process is seriously flawed. Asking user groups to present their wish lists and generally ignoring the rest of the residents as if they did not deserve the title stakeholders is not acceptable. Completely ignoring the result of a costly referendum and thousands of dollars spent on fatuous open houses the rec commission has single-mindedly pursued the idea of a pool complex at Kerry Park. They sent out a survey to all households which contained endless mention of a pool. Despite a miniscule response to the survey of only six per cent, they produced a meaningless document full of charts and percentages which purportedly represented the wishes of the community. When 94% of the residents could not be bothered to fill in the form the only sensible conclusion is to understand that the vast majority are not interested in the more costly schemes being presented. Nonetheless, the amazing conclusion of the survey team was that the first prority of the south end residents was a pool! This result is still on the CVRD website. I attended a “charrette” peopled by “user groups” at which the presenter openly talked about the second phase of development would be yes, a pool. There was enough information from the first referendum to indicate that what most residents want is to do the necessary repairs which should have been an ongoing process to begin with, with a contingency fund for just such eventualities. With this track record, how can we trust them to listen now?” Dave Hewson
In my opinion: Don’t fuel the drama
R
e: your coverage of dogs attacking livestock in Cowichan Bay area I would like to assume that if there is room in your story for drama and misconceptions, there is also room for education and compassionate understanding. It is important for readers to remember that the homeowners and animals owners who lost stock have been traumatized by the attacks on animals they loved. That makes them ideal sources for dramatic detailing of events. However, those details are tainted by fear, trauma and loss. The Glenora area had many more stray dog packs when I was a child than it does now, and I remember being chased by one across our Andrew Leong field.

In the wake of that motion made last month, Duncan’s elected council has asked Cowichan’s Economic Development Commission to consider a new location for a movie theatre. Also, various movietheatre companies will be contacted by the EDC, and asked if they’d consider locating in Duncan. Attracting another film theatre was among 15 recommendations passed by Duncan’s junior coun-

arlier in its 108-year history, the Leader relied on homegrown columnists for news from outlying areas. These were community-minded people like Cowichan Station’s Jack Fleetwood and Shawnigan Lake’s Alice Gibson, better known as Brownie. Alice Brown was a teacher at the Shawnigan Lake public school when she married Eric Gibson and in 1966 wrote Green Branches and Fallen Leaves, the story of Shawnigan Lake. Her talent for observation and writing lifted community events from the mundane to the interesting. In a June, 1978 story about the 33rd annual Shawnigan Lake Flower Show held in the community centre and attended by 500 people, she wrote: “Although the recent heat wave had, to a certain extent, discouraged entries, there was still commendable evidence of garden and decorative prowess. Also adding dimension to the show were the handicraft sections in macrame and needlework, and the photographic section arranged by the Mount and Valley Camera Club. “...Besides the competitive exhibits, the hall was ringed with interesting displays and demonstrations of crafts, which included pottery by Gordon Curtis; finger weaving by Margaret Rithaler; stained glass making by Michael Nuttgens; crafts from Acacia Rest Home; and quilting by Bertha Anderson and Laura Griffin.”

WATTS, Sydney Charles John 1927-2013
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.
It is with sincere regret we announce that Syd Watts, long time Vancouver Island mountain climber, keen birder, naturalist extraordinaire and lifelong champion of natural places passed away Sat May 25 at Cowichan District Hospital. He was predeceased by wife Emily (nee Prout, 2003) and sister Beatrice (1939). Born near Olds, Alberta in 1927, he moved to the Duncan area in 1937. Syd worked as a mechanic but spent most of his energy for wild places. When he joined Scouting, his first hiking trip on nearby Mt. Prevost began his lifetime of hiking and experiencing the outdoors. He climbed with the Outdoor Club of Victoria, the Alpine Club of Canada, and co-founded the Island Mountain Ramblers. Syd wishes to be remembered for leading many trips with these groups. He explored all the high-ridge routes in Strathcona Park, documenting these trails for the guide, Hiking Trails III. In 1970 Syd and wife Emily climbed a mountain now called Syd Watts Peak, for the first time. They were instrumental in saving Mt. Tzouhalem Ecological Reserve where Syd became Reserve Warden. In 2007 he was honored with the Volunteer of the Year Award from BC Parks. Syd and Emily were long time members of the Cowichan Valley Naturalists where he continued to lead walks and share his wide naturalist knowledge until recently. In 2008 a board walk at Somenos Marsh was named Watts Walk to commemorate their work preserving this area. Through all these activities Syd met amazing people whom he highly respected and who will miss him sorely. You could always find Syd out on the trails with his binoculars, observing and enjoying the wonders of nature. No service by request. As friends of Syd you are invited on July 7, 2013 2-4pm, to the Glenora Hall, 3660 Glenora Rd, Duncan to share your memories. Donations to Cowichan Valley Land Trust or Salvation Army are welcomed.
