Estuary dredging raises eco-ire Concern about habitat: Authorized work to clear channels near WFP sawmill draws public protest Peter W. Rusland

Grandfather Heron (environmentalist Peter Spohn) poses in the Cowichan estuary marsh in front of dredging machines that are raising concerns among some locals.

ediment dredging for safe, log-channel access to the Western Forest Products Cowichan Bay sawmill should end by Friday, a WFP spokesman says. That legally permitted work is expected to continue despite today’s 10 a.m. dredging protest at WFP’s Cowichan Bay Road gates. Protest organizers say the current dredging volume far outweighs some 2,000 cubic metres of sediment dug from the sawmill’s log-haul area in 2009. They think it could hurt sea life and they fear the dredgate may hold chemicals that will run back into the sensitive bay. “What they’ve taken out this time is unmatched,” said Geotz Schuerholz, longtime bay resident and chairman of the Cowichan Estuary Restoration and Conservation Association. “It’s affecting fish habitat. Our concern is also heavy metals. They’re dredging 17 feet down, putting it on the mill site.” Schuerholz argued the dredging got a governmental green light with little or no public knowledge or input — nor an environmental assessment of effects on flora nad fauna. “WFP’s in breach of the contractual agreement with the Cowichan Bay Estuary Environmental Management Committee,” he said, noting B.C.’s environment ministry is supposed to be the permitting body. more on A6

he Dominion has finally left Cowichan Bay. Bay Director Lori Iannidinardo was cautiously happy the fuel-filled, derelict ship — lashed by the Coast Guard to a dock at Western Stevedoring — was hauled out Saturday morning. It was likely bound for scrapping elsewhere, she said, after years of locals chasing prospective owners, and government departments powerless to order the rusting merchant vessel sold or seized. “It took an easy five years — it’s still very

frustrating these things have to take so long,” she said. “I was walking the beach this morning, and the Dominion’s definitely gone; people in the village watched it go, and said it was (hauled by) a Mexican tug.” That would fit plans by a prospective American buyer about two years ago. He aimed to buy Dominion, then have her and another vessel towed for scrapping in Mexico. But eco-conscious Iannidinardo was worried about Dominion’s downstream effects. “I’m very glad it’s gone from our backyard, but whose backyard is it going into, environmentally? I’m hoping this is done appropriately.”

lation to stop dumping of derelict vessels along all Canadian shores. But Crowder’s bill’s been parked in Parliament for more than a year. “I’m still not up for debate. I’m probably a couple of months out before my name gets called.” Still she said it’ll take “multi levels” of government to demand and land derelict-boat laws. Crowder called the five years Dominion sat in Andrew Leong Cowichan Bay “ridiculous. It’s about bloody Derelict vessel Dominion has ﬁnally been hauled from Co- time it was was gone.” wichan Bay “This is a problem that’ll only get worse with aging vessels on our coats.” So was Cowichan MP Jean Crowder.

Car and two motorcycles involved in crash near Malahat roadwork

Details were hazy at press time about a trafﬁc mishap involving two motorcycles and a car Saturday morning on the Malahat. Malahat ﬁre chief Rob Patterson did not attend the incident, but believed the bikes were knocked over — their riders escaping serious injuries after a little red car failed

to negotiate construction gear, marking cones and barriers near Tunnel Hill. “The car apparently didn’t merge well with others,” Patterson said. “Everyone walked away OK.” He explained one biker was spared serious injury due to wearing leathers. Mill Bay ﬁreﬁghters scrambled for back

Mob of shoppers ﬁlls food basket shelves in a ﬂash Flash Feed Mob: Three full vans connected in two hours after donor frenzy erupts Monday

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

atima Da Silva is used to putting food on the table every day at Bistro 161. But Monday she went the extra mile to help fill the Cowichan Valley Basket Society’s shelves to feed the less fortunate. Da Silva orchestrated a quick campaign through her friends on Facebook late Sunday night to meet at Thrifty Foods Monday for a two-hour Flash Feed Mob. “It was based on some of the articles in the newspaper and the shelves being really low,’’ said Da Silva of her motivation for the shopping blitz. Da Silva and friends scoured the shelves for items, taking advantage of a Thrifty $1 sale for many goods, and donated them to the basket society. “It could be anywhere from 20 to 40 or 50 people,’’ Da Silva said of the numbers answering the call. “We’re buying the stuff and the food truck’s outside waiting to receive,’’ said Da Silva in the midst of her shopping Monday. The results in two hours were astounding, according to basket society manager Colleen Fuller. “It was pretty awesome,’’ she said

of what the group did. “We did have three full vans (Monday) in two hours. It was great.’’ Fuller added about $100 cash was also received to buy more food. It will go a long way toward replenishing the basket society’s depleted stocks, she said. “It’s improved it immensely. Our cupboards are looking better to get around the summer.’’ She was grateful to everyone who supported the cause. It’s all about a community coming together, Da Silva said, and Pipi Tustian was among those who didn’t need her arm twisted to lend a hand. “Fatima and I do a lot of community-minded things around food,’’ Tustian said. “We’re all two seconds away from not having enough money to buy food. I’ve been there. “I’m not flush with cash. I think sharing’s just as important if you’re rich or poor.’’ “I felt it was a good opportunity to give lots of food to the food bank with this dollar sale,’’ said Cherie Oke. “I’m not always the best contributor to the food bank. This was a time for me to make it up. “I’ve already spent $40 and I’m now spending another $20. The

money I need to spend,’’ said Da Silva. “At this time of year, it’s awfully important because our shelves are really down low,’’ said basket society

chairman Robert Gray as he was loading food into one of the vans. “People are responding to the need. That’s one of the awesome things about the Cowichan Valley.’’

Mill takes advantage of DFO window

Washington a model? from A1 “We absolutely we need that (federal) legislation,” said Iannidinardo. “Let’s follow Washington State’s footprint with derelict boats. Why reinvent the wheel? They have an inventory of derelict vessels, and a fund to follow and fine their owners.” Crowder said Transport Canada has inventoried ditched vessels after municipal input “but that list severely under-represented the numbers,” the NDP MP said. “We need real eyes on the ground to assess environmental risks of these vessels.” Meanwhile, with Dominion gone, Iannidinardo continues pushing for clean industry to spawn jobs while respecting the tourist bay’s delicate ecology. “We can have industry, but we just have to do it differently. It’s still a working bay according to our official community plan.”

A spokesperson for the WFP sawmill in Cowichan Bay says this week’s work follows three years of consultation.

Not true, WFP’s Mike Cass said. Cass wasn’t sure where the piled sediment will go, but said WFP’s permit was issued about two weeks ago by federal Fisheries — to suit a short dredging window— after some three years of planning and consultation with local, provincial, and federal officials. “This is part of regular maintenance to remove sediments from the Cowichan River,” Cass said, unaware what volume the permit allows. “We have to restore safe conditions for the log-haul channel to get fibre to the

mill.” Cass dismissed local reports WFP aims to built an inner harbour at its sawmill — which employs more than 90 people — to ship wood products to China. And as per the rules, the project has been visited by Fisheries and B.C. forests ministry staff, he said. A professional environmental assessment person was also on site “to ensure we’re operating within the permit.” That doesn’t satisfy some in the local community, who say they have been caught unaware. “It seems once again the Department of Fisheries has given assent without

heron-friendly humans being consulted,” Peter Spohn (better known as the costumed ecological crusader Grandfather Heron) said. “Do they fear concerned citizens will slow them down, and interfere with business as usual? “This is the sort of callous disregard for community life that is very threatening to me and my family.” Jon Lefebure, North Cowichan’s mayor, explained the municipality isn’t involved in the dredging nods. “If they have to get approval, from the DFO, that’s not within our jurisdiction,” he said, urging folks with concerns to contact senior government agents.

he Cowichan Valley ATV Club spent its weekend cleaning up more than 23,000 pounds of illegal publicly-dumped garbage in the area around Paldi. The ATV Club uses the area around Paldi to stage many of its rides. Throughout their time in the area, riders have noticed just how much garbage has accumulated, and decided they would try to make a difference. “We decided as the club, because we are using that area all the time, we decided we would like to clean it up. It’s sort of in repayment for them allowing us to stage at that area,” says Randy Huene, director of the Cowichan Valley ATV Club. “Nobody bothers us and we try to make sure the area stays clean, but that does not account for all the other people out there dumping at midnight.” Even though the group managed to bring out 23,000 pounds of garbage, the area — though it looks better — is far from being clean.

Members of the Cowichan Valley ATV Club removed 17 truck loads — more than 23,000 pounds — of garbage from illegal dump sites near Paldi Friday and Saturday. “This is not going to be the end of it because there is one site in there that we are not going to be able to handle at this point,” says Huene. “There’s just way more than the tonnage that they allow for the free tipping permit.” Free tipping permits from the CVRD allow you to dump $1,000 worth of debris, says Huene. The group was required to take before and after pictures of the cleaned area as part of the deal with the CVRD. The ATV Club brought the garbage to the Bings Creek Recycling Depot.

The ATV Club would like to bring the issue of public dumping to everyone’s attention. “It’s a problem wherever we go, but we can all make a difference if we could each do a little to discourage the problem,” says Huene. “Maybe one free day per month at the dumping facilities may help, I don’t know. For now, our club has done its part to pick up some of the trash that people leave behind.” If you would like to contact the CVRD to inquire about a free tipping permit, call 250-746-2540.

Doctors need better incentives to think rural Help needed: Local efforts can only do so much

ake Cowichan is not unique in its struggle to provide health care for its residents. Ladysmith and Chemainus have been fighting — and slowly losing — a generations-long battle to keep their hospitals as hospitals. And our local issues can pale compared to struggles faced in more remote communities like Alert Bay. The dilemma facing the Lake Cowichan area is something else again: a community of about 6,000 people should be large enough to attract and support a small handful of family physicians. Lake Cowichan is facing the prospect of having none at all. Create a The problem is largely not of the system that community’s making and the community is doing more than its part to encourages address it. MDs to come We are confident CHOOSE Cowichan Lake will continue to identify doctors and find ways to sell them on the community. The Cowichan Valley Division of Family Practice has a track record of finding creative ways around flaws in the system. We believe its concept of an integrated community health care team will go a long way toward improving access to health care in the lake area. And they may, as organizers hope, be an added incentive to attract doctors. But they aren’t doctors. And the lack of doctors at the lake is a symptom of a deeper problem with the health care system around the province. Two factors act as disincentives to bringing doctors to small communities. One is income potential. Another is the opportunity to grow their skills. A system needs to be put in place that turns these disincentives to incentives. Rural communities should be the obvious first choice for young doctors, not the choice of last resort.

We say:

The good and the bad of this week in Cowichan This we don’t

This we like

Congratulations to Cowichan Green Community for sealing the deal on its purchase of the old Phoenix building. In a relatively short time, CGC has become a community leader, pointing the way toward a lighter, more sustainable way of life in the valley. One could look upon this deal as an exclamation point on that journey — a marker proclaiming the green movement is achieving its goals and here to stay.

Local is the ideal, but remember what local is Aaron Bichard

News Leader Pictorial

y understanding of the word local was formed long ago. It was back in my days of sleepovers and grass-stains and tummy-aches and wearing costumes not just for Halloween and birthdays, but for no special reason at all. My first sense of its power came when, as a dirt-covered kid, I learned to make calls on my mom and dad’s rotary phone. Local was the opposite of long-distance, and local was way, way better. My best friend in the whole wide world who lived two doors away was local. My aunt, who lived almost all the way across the humungous country and who I’d only ever visited twice in my life, was not. After a bit of practice I was allowed to make local calls on my own. Long-distance? No way. I had to ask permission.

Local also meant free, or more pennies in my parents’ pockets, which I knew meant more random treats for me. And on a rotary phone, with plenty of spinning and waiting and twisting and waiting and spinning and waiting, less numbers in a local call meant it took way less time. That was really important, especially when I flubbed up. Local was, in my mind, the ideal. It still is, in fact, although now the definition isn’t quite as cut and dried as when my shirtsleeve still doubled as my Kleenex. Local has become the darling of the marketing world. Akin to “green” and “eco” and “lite”, it’s a conditional word being immoderately applied across the board to gain trust, market share and ultimately, profit. In some circles, the term coined for the scheme is localwashing, and the practice is nullifying the word’s impact. The federal government isn’t helping matters either, at least when it comes to food. Last month, the Canadian Food and Inspection Agency changed the definition

Even though B.C. Ambulance officials maintain their radio communications along the Pacific Marine Circle Route are reliable, some insiders whisper they aren’t as reliable as they should be. And cell phone reception can be described as a mess. The improved road has shifted this area from wilderness to accessible, meaning more people are out there. Communications need to reflect that.

of local from food grown within 50 kilometres of purchase to food grown anywhere in the province and as far as 50 km outside of provincial borders. With B.C. nearly 950,000 square kilometres, that amounts to a pretty substantial chunk of local land. Understandably, some small-scale farmers who drop their crop into consumers’ hands at farm gates and farmers’ markets are worried they are losing what separates them from the industrial agriculture from afar. Buy Local campaigns have found fertile ground amongst farmers’ markets, and the awareness of food grown close to home is gaining momentum. On June 18 Transition Cowichan successfully hosted its second-annual Eat Local Challenge, which defined local as Islandwide and saw participation numbers double. Consumers obviously care, so no wonder the big players are looking to cash in. It isn’t just the farms that are impacted by this usurping of the word local, either.

Every small, mom- and pop-run operation is impacted. From the U.K. to the U.S., studies in recent years have shown the benefits to the immediate geographic area’s economy when consumers choose to spend their money at a business owned by people who live in the same town. The amount of money that stays in the community is double compared to buying from a company whose head office is elsewhere, regardless of the number of people the larger corporations employ in the region. If we want the economy in Cowichan to grow, we have to give Cowichan our business. Local is better. And local means here. Aaron Bichard writes for newspapers and recycles them.

Summer’s here and the time is right to teach your pooch some manners

Our old growth forests need to be protected

Dear editor Thanks for the great May 14 Our Take on the Koksilah old growth forest. You are right — this and other remaining old-growth forests in the province need to be retained. Congratulations to the corporate and nonprofit sectors who are helping make this happen. Terri Taylor comments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

In my opinion: Proper etiquette is a must before entering a dog park

Not just the public sector that gives the bosses outrageous salaries

Dear editor I agree with Bruce Fraser’s call for a CVRD director salary review. What l disagree with, is his generalization that private sector salaries follow profits. There are many examples, albeit for very large corporations, where a lack of profit does not preclude outrageous salary and benefits for the guiding few. Maybe the private sectors could review their director’s salaries as well. Dirk Ouellette

hat may have been true for Cowichan Secondary School’s grad class of 1953, but the group’s still going strong. It celebrated its 60th reunion June 13. And reunion MC, Jim Swanson often recites an anonymous poem including the lines above each time the gang gets together. And that’s quite often. “Our first reunion was in 1968 and was held at the old Commercial Hotel,” explained Cowichan Secondary alumni Sally Smith. “And the next was a reunion which included all grads from 1951 to 1957 and was held at the Village Green Inn in 1987. After that we held our 40-year reunion and that is when we included those who had attended Grade 10 to 11 with the class of ‘53.” From there on, the reunion committee organized shindigs every five years,

courtesy the class of 1953

45th, 50th and 55th celebrations and then every year thereafter, making up 11 reunions in total. Catch-up chatter among the class has changed over the years. “We tried so hard to impress, We drove fancy cars, smoked big cigars, And wore our most elegant dress,” Swanson has recited of the reunion poem. “The men all conversed about who had been first, To achieve great

fortune and fame, Meanwhile, their spouses described their fine houses, And how beautiful their children became.” Talk’s now turned to trips taken and great grandchildren born. According to Smith, 28 members of the class of ‘53 still live on Vancouver Island. “That just shows it’s paradise here, and no one wants to leave,” she said. Only 17 members of the class —

which included 58 students — have passed away. At the 50th celebration, the gals, including organizer Vivian Sherwood, created a book where grads contributed write-ups on what they’ve been up to. This year they were tickled to have former teachers attend the luncheon event.

Grade 11 and 12 social studies and English teacher, Eldon Kier, 95 made an appearance. “A lot of those attending the reunion had not seen him since grad, as he had never attended any of our previous reunions,” said Smith. “It was a real surprise to some of those that attended the afternoon gathering.” “Some of our organizing ladies saw your article on him, and the three of us went and had a visit with him and asked him if he’d come,” explained Sherwood. “Back in school, I was a little intimidated of the men teachers, I guess you could say,” she said. “They were all service men,” added Smith. “Most of them came from the war, so they were very tough.” Physical education teacher Fay Heard of Honeymoon Bay also regularly attends. Helen Schneidmiller travelled from Calgary, AB and Alice Baumgart made the trek all the way from Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. In the years to come, the organizing committee is hoping to scale down the celebrations to only lunch-time celebrations each year.

Some day you’ll get here Anniversary: 25-year succes story has turned Arbutus Ridge into a place where people want to retire

Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

n a physical sense, change at Cobble Hill’s Arbutus Ridge community has been “monumental.” The gated community is celebrating its 25th anniversary July 1. “It has gone from a gravel pit with waste land around it to a vibrant community of 640-plus homes with more than 1,100 residents,” said Arbutus Ridge Rate Payers Association’s chairman John Bertagnolli. “From the residents who purchased the first homes to a community which today sees as many as 30-plus homes sold annually with new active adults moving in to enjoy the fruits of the efforts of those early pioneers.” The resort-style community open to folks 50 years and older, has more than 30 clubs and boasts a smorgasbord of daily activities and adventures. There’s something for everyone, said Bertagnolli, 70, noting quilting, ceramics, ballroom dancing among some of the lighter hobbies offered. “In addition of course there is the golfing on Arbutus Ridge Golf Course which is rated as one of the best on Vancouver Island and there’s a very active tennis club taking advantage of an in house tennis court and playing in the tennis dome at the golf club.”

There’s also a hiking club and a marine facility where residents can board boats to access, “some of the best crabbing and prawn fishing in the area or just hiking the sea side trail right here in Arbutus Ridge.” Among being many retired couples’ dream-come-true destination, Arbutus Ridge is also well-known for its close-ties with residents. “I think it is its sense of community and friendship,” said Bertagnolli. “In speaking with the early residents I think the constant over the past 25 years has to be the community spirit of participation and helping others. This spirit extends beyond Arbutus Ridge with residents involved with organizations like Cowichan Hospice, the Canadian Cancer Society and many other organizations throughout the Cowichan Valley.” ‘The Ridge’ is a bare land strata community with residents owning their properties and homes. The Rate Payers Association is a group within the Ridge that deals with outside matters, explained Bertagnolli. “These include items such as roads and the department of highways, CVRD and planning and zoning applications which might affect Arbutus Ridge, as well as Department of Fisheries and Oceans on matters such as moorages adjacent to Arbutus Ridge and other potential problem areas such as this.”

Square dancers celebrate the grand opening of Arbutus RIdge 25 years ago in May of 1988. The Ridge itself is governed by an elected strata council and operated under the Strata Property Act of B.C. “As an adult community Arbutus Ridge is at a point of turnover after 25 years from the first residents,” Bertagnolli noted. “This allows for a wide selection of homes available from smaller semi-detached homes to large residences with spectacular views of Satellite Channel and Salt Spring Island. “There are properties to suit almost every budget and every taste. As well

there are some vacant lots still available for those who wish to build their dream home.” Its lifestyle and amenities is what hooked in Bertagnolli. “We had been coming to the Cowichan Valley since the mid 1980’s and had grown to know the area quite well. The lifestyle and amenities of Arbutus Ridge were what first attracted us but when we first tried to purchase a home here we were too young. It only took another 15 plus years for us to make the move.”

Cowichan’s departed schools marked with gold bell Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

ersonal connections with good ol’ school days are being renewed in Cowichan. And that’s thanks to a group of eager folks with the Cowichan Valley Retired Teachers’ Association and newly-formed Cowichan Valley Schools Heritage Society and its most recent project identifying former school sites. “During the process many people have

renewed personal connections with the old schools remembering their place in the educational history of the valley by remembering fellow students,” said project co-ordinator Lois Joyce of phase one of the self-directed historic schools project. Gold school bell-shaped signs have been nailed to fences or stuck in the ground with posts marking 15 local former education sites. “After a year and a half of research by talking to valley residents, looking at old documents and spending time in archives, the project has reached fruition,

Marked schools 1. Alderlea School (now Arcadian Day Care, 5650 Club Rd.) 2. Duncan High School (corner of Cairnsmore and Nagle Streets; school burned down in 1946) 3. Duncan Grammar School (where the Cowichan District Hospital stands today) 4. Gibbins Road School (property now owned by the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, Squadron 744) 5. Nitinat School (the original site can be seen at Kinssinger Lake Campsite, west of Youbou) 6. Honeymoon Bay School (school building now Honeymoon Bay Lodge and Retreat) 7. Second Somenos School (Drinkwater Road opposite Mountain View Cemetery; no structure) 8. First Crofton School (Joan Street, Crofton Museum), 9. First Maple Bay School (1959 Herd Rd.; no structure) 10. Maple Bay School (now Bay Studios 6759 Considine Rd.) 11. Quamichan School (5847 Indian Rd.; burnt down in the 1980s) 12. Third Bench School (1501 Cowichan Bay Rd.; no structure) 13. Cobble Hill High School (now Evergreen Independent School) 14. Bamberton School (original location up the hill on the main street of Bamberton townsite) 15. York Road Primary (where log building now stands at 460 Trans Canada Highway)

with signs posted throughout the school district which indicate the name and dates of the life of the former schools,” explained Joyce. She gave kudos to retired teacher and society president Bob King for initiating the project and his, “deep interest in preserving the educational history of the Cowichan Valley.” The project, which sees the markers mostly at vacant sites, homeowners’ properties, new businesses where schools either burned down or were demolished down the road, was also funded by the British Columbia Retired Teachers’ Association. The gang received a grant for $3,000. And it took a whole community to huddle up before signs were posted. It was supported by the City of Duncan, Cowichan Valley Regional District, Cowichan Historical Society, Kathryn Gagnon, Marie Skertchly, Mark’s Instant Sign Shop, Municipality of North Cowichan, and School District No. 79. “This project could not have been complete without the support of local governments, owners of private properties, and especially the former school trustees of School District 79 who approved and helped with the installation of the signs,’’ said Joyce. About 90 schools in total have been identified in the valley. Phase two, which involves more research and choosing which sites to honour, is in the works.

Dust-breathers not happy paying for truck wash

Youbou: Resident anger grows about mess created by logging trucks Tamu Miles

Lake Cowichan Gazette

esidents of Youbou are choking on dust, bureaucracy and having to pay $5,000 to help a private company keep their community clean. Since 2006 they have been trying to get the Ministry of Transportation to do something about dust from logging trucks. At a heated meeting of the CVRD Nature and Habitat Fund Advisory Committee, on June 13, residents again expressed their frustration at the lack of action. The committee recommended kicking in $5,000 to TimberWest toward the construction of a truck wash, a decision that did not sit well with many in attendance. “They don’t need our contributions, it’s their dust. They’re making all the money,” said Youbou resident, Wayne Hughes. “I don’t think the people want anything to do with ownership of a truck wash, we shouldn’t have to.”

“TimberWest is just spearheading this for all the companies, and highways is giving a portion in-kind to do with fixing the road,” said Youbou Director Pat Weaver, who chaired the meeting. “The committee’s made a decision and so we’ll go forward and see what happens with the board.” Klaus Kuhn, former Youbou director, disputed Weaver’s claim that TimberWest had asked for a contribution from the community in the first place. Others in the audience complained that they are not getting compensation for the money

they must spend on things such as power washing the outside of their homes and cleaning carpets. Others, such as Jeff Abbott, did not see why the CVRD is involved in the process in the first place. “It should be highways... dealing with this,” said Abbott. “We’ve gone through four ministers of transportation. Is TimberWest just sitting back and kind of laughing, or what?” George deLure, who sits on the committee, admitted the reason he has decided to vote for the $5,000 contribution, is because he feels that if no

contribution is made nothing will get done. “I don’t think we’re going to get the truck wash in the summer by the process that it’s going to go through the CVRD,” says deLure. “I care for this community and we’ve been at a stalemate for months, so I rolled over.” Others had similar fears and wondered what would happen if a truck wash does not solve the problem. In an email response to Don Beldessi, a Youbou resident, the previous Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Blair Lekstrom, stated that the ministry is doing all it can. “I recognize this is an ongoing concern for you,” states the email. “Ministry staff have asked our local maintenance contractor, Mainroad South Island Contracting, to sweep the road, and ministry staff are also working with TimberWest to address this matter.” The email goes on to state that Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement branch staff have recently carried out inspections of logging trucks and though they did not observe mud and debris as an issue, the ministry is committed to closely monitoring logging trucks in the area and working with TimberWest to ensure this matter is resolved.

Imagine pottery and landscapes downtown

ARTISTS

Time is running out to see landscapes and what can be made from the clay underneath The scenic paintings of Sharron Campbell are complemented by pottery from Vivian Bodnar, Wendy Cyrenne and Marjorie Wicks until the end of the month in downtown Duncan at Imagine That! Show promo material describes the artists

as follows: Campbell: “... wants the viewer to grasp meanings behind the substance of nature; water teaches us about grace, a mountain illustrates majesty, a tree, endurance and so on.” Wicks: “Every piece of pottery is, in a way, a record of history made at a particular time and place, under particular circumstances.”

Bodnar: “Fat, naked, healthy earth mommas who offer love and encouragement.” Cyrenne: “Functional pieces, but equally decorative pieces. Bright colours and quirky stylest.” View their work Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. until June 29 at 251 Craig St. For more information, call 250-748-6776.

f you’re a music lover, you may as well mark down the entire month of July to be in downtown Duncan. That’s because the 34thannual Duncan Cowichan Summer Festival is hosting another 39 Days of July Centennial Celebration. It kicks off Friday night with a stellar set of rockers, including locals The Royal Canadians, all-girl rocker chicks White Hot Jet and alt/country pop crew The Wild Romantics. Festival artistic director and Duncan Garage Showroom proprietor John Falkner boasts more than 320 acts scheduled to shake things up at one of two venues:, City Square Stage or the CUPE Stage at Charles Hoey Park. “I’ve had so much fun with it this year. I’m really pumped about it all,” Falkner said, finding it tough to narrow down standout performers. “At the Garage, we’ve had more than 2,500 performances so I don’t know of anyone else who’s auditioned more bands.” Most of the groups and solo performers set to shine during the month-long celebration, which frames Duncan’s Summer Festival, have booked gigs at the Duncan Garage Showroom. This year’s music downtown has something for everyone. Johny Cash tribute band Big River is set to take listeners on

recorded in Belize. “Black Birds dives into the waves of Belize’s musical deep, featuring Maya guitar, turtle shells, donkey jaw-bone and traditional Garifuna segunda and primero drums. Michel cultivates lush rhythms and sounds as the perfect backdrop for his buoyantly eloquent songwriting style,” boasts Michel’s promotional material. The July 24 lineup is also loaded with Murray Atkinson of the band the Odds (6 p.m.), The Big Mess (7 p.m.) and Maureen Washington ( 8 p.m.). Falkner said folks should also circle July 31 on calendars,

The beat goes on in mural town’s downtown arts scene

This summer: Friday once again the night to party in Chemainus

O file

The Ukuladies perform at one of last year’s ArtBeat festivities. The Chemainus street festival is back for a second year, starting Friday, June 28.

nce again, Chemainus has the beat. ArtBeat returns to downtown Chemainus for a second year beginning Friday, June 28. Friday night festivities debut for summer 2013 with Hat Night, where visitors are encouraged to “don their most outlandish headgear,” states an ArtBeat press release. Hat Night kicks off ArtBeat’s 10-week summer run, returning every Friday night from late June through to the end of August. ArtBeat’s Phil Mavis said organizers “were thrilled with the response to last year’s ArtBeat, so we’re just going to tighten up a few things and build on the

success of what was a much-talked-about event that Chemainiacs and visitors seemed to really enjoy.” One small change for this year’s iteration of ArtBeat includes a later start to Fridaynight entertainment showcases. ArtBeat’s feature entertainment will take to the stage at 8:15 p.m. to allow visitors more time to “check out the artwork, listen to the buskers, do some shopping and then sit back and relax for a few minutes,” Mavis explained. Painters, sculptors, potters and photographers who participated in last year’s event were pleased with the public’s response to ArtBeat and many are returning for a second year to take part in an event that showcases Vancouver Island talent.

ArtBeat has signed up a talented cast of artists for year two, but has yet to fill the entire roster. Local artists are invited to participate for the 2013 season, ArtBeat’s Peggy Grigor said, and anyone interested in signing up should visit the ArtBeat website for more details. Last year’s ArtBeat “brought the south block of Willow Street to life last summer,” said Mavis. “It was great to see people grooving to the music, dancing in the street and marvelling at all the talents. We know it’s going to be bigger and better in 2013.” For more, contact Mavis at 250-246-2434 or Grigor at 250-416-1411. — Lindsay Chung

October 14, 1924 - June 14, 2013 It is with great sadness we announced the passing of our father John Lind Moilliet. Survived by his loving wife of 64 years June Kathleen Moilliet and their children Mark(Gail)Kerry, James(Melanie)Rory(Shona) Stephen(Shelley) and families. Born in Parksville to Erskine and Janet Moilliet John had a full life working for the Forestry & Highways Depts before moving the family to Morning Star Farm rebuilding & tending to a large dairy herd. After selling the farm his interests lay in flying planes,also owning and operating logging trucks. His mining career spanned 30 years taking him to North and South America well into his late 70â€™s. John was a wonderful man and well loved by his family and many friends.

Special thanks to the wonderful Staff at Cairnsmore Place Duncan for their dedication to the care and comfort of our Dad. A CELEBRATION of LIFE to be held at the BRADLEY CENTER at 975 Shearme Road Coombs on SATURDAY 2PM, JULY 6th 2013.

DEATHS

SANDERS Marjorie Wentworth (Wilkin) August 26, 1920 - June 05, 2013 Marjorie passed quietly and peacefully in her sleep at daughter Anneâ€™s home in Abbotsford. Marjorie was born in Calcutta, India. She came, via England, to Victoria, B.C. to stay with an uncle. She met John, who predeceased her in 2007, at a Theosophical meeting and they were married in 1953. Also predeceased by her sister, Belinda Peacey, she leaves to remember her, daughters Gillian and Anne Sanders (Colin Hall), grandchildren Saskia (Cornel Peana), Victoria (Michael Ferguson), Nicholas, Andrew, great grandson Jace Dylan Ferguson, John Matthews, and Jasmine the Burmese cat. Marjorie dedicated her life to her family and home. Thanks to this dedication and diligence, family life in our beautiful home on Wharncliffe Road will be lovingly remembered and cherished. As well as maintaining a shipshape home and preparing tasty meals from the huge garden tended by John, Marjorie pursued spiritual matters, gardened, played bridge, and served Duncan as a Sunday School teacher, Brown Owl, Guide Lieutenant, Teacherâ€™s Aid, Band Parent committee member, deliverer of Meals on Wheels, and arranged coffee mornings and helped campaign for her favourite political party. Whatever we children were involved in, Mum was there in some capacity supporting us, our leaders or taking charge. She was a wonderful Grandmother, who always had something for the grandchildren to do. Play was always with a learning theme. Puzzles and games nights became a favourite. And somehow in and around all these activities, she still found time for her passion, dressmaking, as well as a little knitting, and walking her Maltese. Flowers gratefully declined. If it is felt that a donation is necessary, Marjorieâ€™s favourite charities were The Red Cross Society, SPCA, the Cowichan Bread Basket and the British Gurkha Welfare Society. Cremation has taken place and the family will tour Butchart Gardens in memory of Marjorie (and John). On-line condolences to the family may be made to: www.wiebeandjeskefh.com Wiebe & Jeske 604.859.5885

Chemainus Twilight Shuffle: Next year will be the 30th anniversary of 5K running event Lindsay Chung

News Leader Pictorial

he 29th Chemainus Legion Twilight Shuffle 5K is barely over, but race co-ordinator Phil Nicholls is already hard at work planning the milestone 30th event. One hundred and forty-one runners and walkers took part in this year’s event, held June 18 in downtown Chemainus under what started out as very rainy skies. That’s down from the 325 who took part last year. Nicholls, a Chemainus native, started the Twilight Shuffle 29 years ago with his mother Lorna.

Triathlon bridges the gap

The event has seen numbers as big as almost 1,000 people, but participation has been dwindling, and Nicholls would love to see those numbers come back up. The Legion Twilight Shuffle started as a four-mile race. “We evolved it to a five-kilometre distance, and now the plan will be to keep her going and have a big one for the 30th,” said Nicholls. “I would have liked to, as always, see more numbers in it (this year). I have to do the work up in the area. My idea is to get some school challenge going, just to get it fun and big.” Despite the lower turnout and the downpour at the start of the race, Nicholls is happy with this year’s

event. “Overall, I’m very pleased with it again and all the support that comes from the Legion,’’ he said. “It all comes off very well, for sure.’’ Nicholls is planning how to make next year’s 30th anniversary Legion Twilight Shuffle bigger and better. The date has already been set for Tuesday, June 24, 2014 and Nicholls says he might try to find a way to tie in a running club from Victoria to draw runners up to Chemainus. This year, the top overall male racer was 47-year-old Neil Holm, who finished the run in 17:16. Nancy Baxendale, 52, who crossed the line in 19:23, was the top female.

The bridge is out but the race is on. The Chemainus River Bridge is being replaced, forcing the Cowichan Challenge Triathlon to utilize a different bike route this year. The new route will be through Chemainus and Saltair. The event takes place Sunday, July 14 at Fuller Lake Park. The swim in Fuller Lake is followed by the cycle route and a run through the woods. Early bird registration until July 1 is $55 for individuals and late entry from July 2 to 13 is $65. A $15 insurance fee is tacked on for non-TriBC members. Go to www.ceevacs. com for information.

Johannah Hixson Being in the right place at the right time at the right age summarizes Johannah Hixson’s entry into competitive tennis. Hixson, who just turned 16 on Saturday, has found her niche as a tennis player in the Brentwood College program. “She’s young, she’s just in Grade 10,’’ said Brentwood tennis coach Marci McLean. “So definitely she’s coming in at the right time. She’s very keen and she’s a good athlete. Now, it’s just a matter of honing the tennis skills and getting a lot more competition and getting mentally tough.’’ Hixson only started in tennis five years ago. “That’s when I first held a racket,’’ she said. Her first tournament experience was just three years ago. This season brought another first, with Hixson playing singles and doubles for Brentwood during its silver medal performance in the provincials. “I didn’t know what to expect with provincials,’’ she said. “I’ve never been in a team sport before so it was a real cool experience to be in a team sport for once.’’ Hixson has ambitious plans about her future in tennis. “I want to go to a U.S. university and play university tennis,’’ she said.

The BCHL officially unveiled its schedule this week that begins again with the second annual Showcase Tournament where all 16 teams assemble at Chilliwack. The Caps take on the Prince George Spruce Kings Saturday, Sept. 7 and the Trail Smoke Eaters Sunday, Sept. 8. They entertain the Bulldogs at Cowichan Arena Saturday, Sept. 14 and then play a rematch in Port Alberni Wednesday, Sept. 18. The next two home games after that are on Saturday, Sept. 21 against Victoria and Sunday, Sept. 22 against Surrey. Fans can access the complete schedule by going to www.bchl.ca. News from the BCHL’s annual general meeting in Richmond included changes to the administration of the league. The BCHL has changed its media policy regarding the Jan. 10 roster deadline. For each transaction, teams will only be allowed to release information to the media once all players involved in the transaction have been notified. The league signed an equipment deal with Bauer, meaning all players must use the Bauer Supreme Team Stick. Severe penalties will be imposed on clubs for failure to comply. Teams will be allowed to use up remaining new equipment but must make future orders with Bauer. The league has yet to agree upon a playoff structure. Teams are being asked to submit ideas. The schedule was reduced last season from 60 to 56 games but has been bumped up to 58 this season.

Sullivan leads the charge over the Chargers Crew Chief: Electrifying runs result in a Sun Bowl reversal Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

hen Marilou Sullivan turns and burns, she leaves people in the dust. The Crew’s speedster was in high gear throughout Sunday’s final of the Sun Bowl, the Pacific Northwest Women’s Football Championships, at McAdam Park, leading her team to a convincing 21-7 victory over the defending champion Vancouver Chargers. Sullivan scored two electrifying touchdowns and added a pair of single-point conversions on pass interference penalties, as the Cowichan Women’s Football League champions avenged a 12-0 loss to the Chargers in last year’s final. “With the team we had last year, we thought it would be our year to win,’’ said Sullivan. “This year was a bit sweeter, especially after we split our team.’’ Some members of the Crew formed the Bluesteel Brew that created more balance in the Cowichan league. The Crew revamped its lineup, but was still left with a powerhouse, especially after mothers giving birth earlier in the year returned to the lineup. That included quarterback Jackie Harrison (nee Thibodeau), who did a masterful job directing the attack against the Chargers. “She said she was more calm this year in the Sun Bowl,’’ said Sullivan. “She made some good decisions and didn’t get rattled when she got sacked.’’ The best decision was simply to put the ball in Sullivan’s hands, although the entire offensive unit provided firepower that made the Chargers switch from man-to-man coverage to zone. It didn’t work, but Sullivan gave full credit to the opposition in a great match-up between the No. 1 teams in Duncan and Vancouver. “They’re a great team,’’ said Sullivan. “We just were the better team (Sunday).’’ It didn’t start out too well for the Crew, with the Chargers scoring a TD and conversion on their first possession. Neither team could get anything going for the next couple of possessions. Sullivan then turned the tables by stepping in front of an errant Tracy Huckaluck pass and weaving her way through traffic all the way to the end zone. “I felt like that was a little bit of luck,’’ said Sullivan. “That quarterback doesn’t do that very often.’’ A pass interference call on Sullivan in the end zone on the convert gave the Crew an automatic point that tied it 7-7 at the half. The points were the first allowed by the Chargers in the tournament

to that stage. They won five round robin games by shutouts and did the same to the Misfits in the Top Flight playoff opener. The second half started with key quarterback sacks by the Crew’s Samantha Jory and Nadege St. Felix of the Chargers. Sullivan then made her presence felt again with the defining moment of the game and the tournament. She made a catch along the sideline on a Harrison offering and somehow found enough space to elude the Chargers’ defence for another TD. “That was totally the second option,’’ said Sullivan of the play. “We were trying to go deep to Janelle (Mould) or Alita (Mattin).’’ The Chargers were penalized again for defending a bit too aggressively on Sullivan on the convert and it was 14-7 for the Crew. The game was still far from over, but Kirstin Bains then stepped up with a huge interception. Harrison went right back to the air and almost connected with Mould, who juggled the ball but couldn’t hang onto a long pass with nothing but empty real estate in front of her. But it didn’t matter in the end, as Harrison hooked up again with Sullivan, who pitched the ball back to Mattin for an insurance TD in the corner. Sullivan said the late stages of the game seemed to last an eternity, but the Chargers ran out of plays for any late-game miracle trailing by two TDs. Sullivan, 36, hasn’t slowed down one iota over the years and proved that speed kills in fast-paced women’s football. “When you’re getting older, the trick is trying to figure out how to make your body survive,’’ she chuckled. Football guru Chris Mann again led the organizational team for a great 28th-annual edition of the tournament. The Sun Bowl’s appeal is sure to reach its peak by the time the big 30th anniversary comes up in a couple of years. Every year is still quite different for a variety of reasons and this was no exception. Rotary Park was unavailable due to field renovations, requiring round robin games in one division Saturday and one other contest Sunday to be played at Cowichan Secondary School in addition to the usual two McAdam Park venues. “It’s the first time we’ve split like that,’’ said Mann. “When you’re at the high school or anywhere else, you’re really out of the picture. In that way, it was totally different than other years.’’ Mann placed his own team, the Wild Roller Derby Queens, at Cowichan Secondary along with the

XTreme, Ravens, Misfits and Sharks for the Division A round robin. “All the teams that went over, there was no complaining,’’ he said. “Everyone just played football.’’ A refurbished Rotary with lights combined with McAdam will make the tournament that much better again next year, with flexibility options for the schedule. The turnout this year of Vancouver teams — the Chargers, Misfits, Sirens, Panthers, Country Muffins, Assassins and Sharks — was among the highest ever from the Mainland. Victoria had three teams and Duncan the other seven to complete the slate. Feedback from everyone was entirely positive. Many teams came up with some imaginative themes and dressed in colourful costumes that made playing a bit more difficult, but created a festival atmosphere. “It adds a little more fun to the whole thing,’’ said Mann, whose own team went with a roller derby girls’ theme. Wonder women and Duck Dynasty characters were among the others. XTreme won the Almost Top Flight division over Moo’s Law while the Swarm’s aging but still agile warriors beat the Panthers for the Grounded division title. Mann was appreciative for all the support the tournament receives. “It’s getting better all the time with people helping out,’’ he said. “I’m starting to let go a little bit more. That part is hard. I always strive for perfection. That’s part of my problem.’’

Thunder set for playoff, Calgary tourney tests Midget A lacrosse: Lots at stake in key point of the season

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

t’s already been a highly-successful season for the Cowichan Valley Midget A Thunder lacrosse team. The Thunder has an ideal opportunity to make it even better and more memorable during upcoming playoff and tournament games. The Thunder finished league play 12-4, just behind first-place Juan de Fuca 1’s 13-3 record, and will open a best-of-three playoff against third-place Saanich Wednesday at 8 p.m. at Kerry Park Arena. Then, the Thunder is off to Calgary for a Canada Day weekend tournament. Cowichan already has a Trevor Wingrove tournament win under its belt this season and would dearly love to add another title. Despite flooding concerns in the region, the tournament is a go-ahead according to Cowichan coach Lorne Winship. “Apparently, the area we’re going to play in is fine,’’ he said. When the Thunder returns, it will head straight into game two against Saanich. The winner faces Juan de Fuca 1 for the league championship and a berth in the provincials. Winship’s team has largely been playing great lacrosse with everyone contributing to the attack. The Wingrove tournament has certainly been the highlight of the season but Winship’s hoping there’s more where that came from. He expects a tough battle from Saanich. “Saanich is very close with us,’’ he said. “They beat us previous to the last one where we won 4-3. They’re a very good team.’’ After the Wingrove tournament, Cowichan faced Juan de Fuca 1 at Kerry Park in a game that ultimately decided first place. Juan de Fuca eked out a 6-5 victory. Cowichan opened up a 3-1 first-

period lead on two goals by Brandon Corby and one from Braylon Lumb. Juan de Fuca had a surge in the second period with four goals to one from Cowichan’s Taylor Martin for a 5-4 lead. Juan de Fuca extended its lead to two goals early in the third before Mathieu Jung closed out the scoring with a Cowichan power play marker. Tyson Black collected two assists and Derek Hayes contributed one. The Thunder then edged Saanich 4-3 in a playoff preview. Saanich was firing on all cylinders and scored the first two goals of the game. Cowichan was facing a hot goaltender, but finally managed to sneak one by him in the last minute of the second period, with Corby connecting on assists from Lumb and Jung. Winship got the players fired up for the third and they mounted a comeback by outscoring Saanich 3-1. Lumb potted a pair, including the game winner, and Black added the other marker to go along with an assist. Other assists went to Chris Branting, Jung, Hayes and Mitchell Page. Winship praised the “really good defence and holding a team to three goals is pretty solid,’’ he said. The Thunder won its final two league games in convincing fashion over Nanaimo 13-2 last Thursday in Nanaimo and 9-5 at Peninsula Sunday. Ten different players scored goals in the Nanaimo victory. “Even some of our role players got involved in the scoring,’’ said Winship. The Peninsula game brought more of the same with a strong all-around team effort. Some of the Thunder players are receiving extra time as call-ups for Intermediate A teams. Comox Intermediate A called upon Cowichan reinforcements while goalkeeper Pollo Claxton and Black were due to play for the Victoria Shamrocks Intermediate As in a game at Bear Mountain Arena Tuesday.

ifty budding members of the Duncan Dynamics Gymnastics Club blossomed during the Garden City Invitational meet in Victoria. Amazing performances were turned in by the athletes ranging from Interclub, KIP and Level One through Level Four. Level One Tyros were the first up along with the KIP and Pre-Argo teams. Gabrielle Austin and Sarah Deschamps placed third and fourth all-around, respectively. Austin had a gold on vault, silvers for both the bars and beam plus a ribbon for the floor exercises while Deschamps picked up a bronze on the vault as well as ribbons for the bars, beam and floor. The Level One Argo 2003 team started things off right the next day by owning the podium for the vault. Sarah Carson took the gold while teammates Cheyenne Mackeil and Trinity Page scooped up the silver and bronze, respectively. Mackeil won the all-around silver, with silver on the floor, bronze on the beam and a fifth-place ribbon for the bars. Carson and Page combined for four additional ribbons, ranging from fourth to ninth place. Tahara Brown earned the allaround bronze, with a gold on the floor, bronze on bars, fifth for vault and seventh for beam. The 2004 girls, Anna Akhurst and Sadie Manley, did very well. Akhurst placed in every event with

ribbons for fourth to eighth place while Manley picked up a silver medal on vault and fourth-place ribbon for the floor. Julia Ford, the lone Level 2 Novice athlete, produced a bronze medal on the beam plus three other ribbons. Four athletes attended the evening session — two in Level 3 Novice and one each in Level 4 Tyro and Level 4 Novice.

Level 4 Tyro Keerstin Arden claimed gold on the floor, rounding it out with four other placement ribbons. Rebeca Bailey and Chelsea Kaye settled into new Level 3 routines with wonderful results.

Aboriginal Day ceremony: Band opens new $2 million gymnasium Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

alalt Band’s new gym hosted elders, kids, police and politicians during Friday’s inaugural salmon feast. Former Lt.-Gov. Steven Point was unable to make the party that also toasted Aboriginal Day, but Halalt Chief James Thomas understood. “He couldn’t make it because he was off to Alberta,” Chief Thomas said of his people’s 6,500-square-foot, $2-million gym. It sports a hardwood basketball court, wall-mounted backboards, change rooms and

washrooms. The gym will host basketball, volleyball, badminton and indoor soccer for kids of all ages through adults. Programs will be open to Halalt First Nation members as well as the surrounding community. “The community at large has already made inquiries about renting it,” said Ernie Mansueti, North Cowichan’s parks-andrecreation manager. The Halalt used about $1 million of its reserves for the new gym facility, then secured a loan through BMO for the balance. Now the Halalt will seek some government grants to help retire the balance, Thomas explained. Boris Rassin of ATCO Sustainable Communities, explained the facility sits four feet above the 200-year flood level. “It took us six months to build because we had to wait for the concrete floor to dry

properly,” he said of the project envisioned by the Halalt for some six years. “ATCO brought us a model and showed us how it could look,” Chief Thomas said before sinking some pre-lunch hoops. The new gym brought back fond memories for his daughter, Margaret Daniels, a former point guard on Chemainus high school’s basketball team. “It makes you remember all the things you did in the past, and all your experiences,” said the 2006 grad, who’s now a cook in a Ft. McMurray, Alberta camp. “Lots of people I coached are here. “I can’t wait to come here and play.” Meanwhile, her father was already looking toward the band’s next facility. “We’ll be looking at a day Peter W. Rusland care in the future,” said Chief Halalt First Nation Chief James Thomas hoists grandson Mark Page, 6, in the band’s new $2-million basketball-gym Thomas. facility opened June 21.

fire chief, and current board member with MDC. “It looks like most people want to stay involved until a solution is found — it’s easy to see we’re making a difference.” This year’s slo-pitch tournament saw seven teams competing against each other. The final game, which took place Sunday, June 16, saw Ladysmith take on reigning champions Lake Cowichan. The game was high scoring, but in the end, Ladysmith took the win with a final score of 19-15. Other awards given out were Most Sportsmanlike Team, which went to Cowichan Bay Fire and Rescue, and MVP, which went to Blair Windsor of Cowichan Bay Fire and Rescue. Another award given out was MDC’s Mary-Ann Wickham Award, (volunteer of the year) to Cathy King.

This year, nine fire departments came together to raise almost $40,000 at the auction, slightly shy of what they achieved last year. “I think it was a very successful year, as it always is,” said Sherry Sohye of the Mesachie Group. “There was lots of camaraderie and bonding.” The Mesachie Group picked MDC as its charity of choice in 1979, making this the 35th-annual slo-pitch tournament. To date, the tournament and auction have raised close to $700,000, according to a Mesachie Group press release — and they show no signs of slowing. “We wanted to see what the charity was all about; we had two firefighters in the valley whose sons had muscular dystrophy, so we did not have to work hard to gain support,” said Dave Ferguson, a past Cowichan Bay
