Malahat roadwork extended to August $8-million safety upgrade: summer trafﬁc, technical details blamed for delays Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

Jack leaps to the rescue

Linda O’Connor’s life was saved Wednesday by a fellow named Jack when she was choking at the Duncan Garage Cafe.

inda O’Connor’s ears were ringing and her vision was turning black. That was right before the Shawnigan mother of two was given the Heimlich manoeuvre by a fellow named Jack after she began choking on her salad at the Duncan Garage Cafe this afternoon. “Thanks to him, my kids still have a

mom,” O’Connor said after stopping by the News Leader Pictorial to tell her story. “My main focus is thanking everyone who was there.” O’Connor and her two daughters had gone for a bite at the Garage and were sitting at a corner table when she began choking on her salad. “I had tried to push myself up against a bar there but that didn’t do anything,” she explained. “I couldn’t speak but I finally managed to get out ‘I’m choking.’” “He was really calm and he told me what

Good Samaritan: saves choking woman at Duncan Garage Cafe he was going to do,” O’Connor explained of her hero, who goes by Jack and is apparently a regular, but disappeared shortly after the incident. “He came and checked on me a couple times, but I didn’t get a chance to speak with him.” She’s also very appreciative of the Garage staff who came to her side afterward even though their cafe was super busy. “They were giving me hugs and kisses and offered me water right away. They were totally great.”

queaky wheels got provincial grease to median more stretches of the Malahat. But ‘Hat pitbulls Chelsey Dollman and Malahat fire chief Rob Patterson understand money to mend the rest of the deadly turnpike will take longer. And delays until August have been announced for some stretches due to heavy summer traffic slowing construction, technical issues, and night work inabilities. “They’ve been good at listening to what first responders, fire chiefs and myself had to say,” Dollman said after she, Patterson, police, paramedics and others met with Highways officials about Malahatupgrade progress in recent months. “They wanted to see where our areas of concern are and if they line up. It comes down to money; we have to take everything one step at a time.” Dollman and Patterson agreed the most accidentprone stretches remain without concrete barriers to stop cross-over crashes.They also realize those spans need costly engineering work. Still, Dollman said she “won’t back down” on potentially deadly spots. “Split-rock to the summit, that’s the real problematic area where you go from two lanes to one to two, then back to one, and it’s not divided,” she said. “The entire Malahat needs to be divided. Highways agree that should happen, in a perfect world. We need to stop head-on collisions. “ Patterson was also satisfied how Victoria’s rehabilitating the hazardous ‘Hat. “I’m as happy as I can be; lots of background work still needs to be done,” he said, citing land acquisitions and more to widen then median sections — including what he calls Nascar Corner, and elsewhere. “Nascar Corner will be part of phase two, whenever that one gets figured out. There are some logistical nightmares (Highways) have to work out concerning road grading, and a steep ravine to fill.” The current $8-million phase of median installation spans four places totalling 2.6 kilometres. That brings the total of new median to 5.4 kms protecting about 40% of the Malahat, ministry staff said. Its contract with Surrey’s Jacob Brothers Construction Ltd. also sees upgrades to three intersections, improved lighting, signage and road markings. Work was expected to be done by late June. more on page 12

Chemainus neighbourhood: SPCA investigating incident

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

t first, Wally Petrovic thought a hawk killed one of his four black-face, whitebody nun pigeons — one of only four on Vancouver Island — that lay on his Chemainus doorstep Tuesday. Then he saw a threatening note that prompted a call to police. “Keep your f-----g pigeons in your own yard or you will have more delivered dead!” it reads. “Or move where they can fly and not disturb anyone or destroy gardens/homes.” Carrying that note — and his bloody, dead bird worth about $350 — Petrovic said he went to his neighbour. There, he said, an elderly woman admitted to writing the note, adding many more birds would be killed unless Petrovic keeps his pigeons in his yard. “I feel this is a sick human being. Who would beat a defenseless bird to death?” asked Petrovic, who’s had previous pigeon death threats from other neighbours. The kick-boxing teacher has lived on Ash Road since December, and keeps about 40 racing pigeons, including the four nuns. Pigeon-keeping is legal under North Cowichan bylaws, but not everyone has been welcoming. Neighbours have complained to the municipality about an odour from Petrovic’s yard. That smell, he said, was compost he has since contained. The note-writing neighbour said his pigeons had fed on their garden. Petrovic said his birds only eat a special food mixture. That neighbour also claimed Petrovic’s pigeons had pecked at their roof “but our neighbourhood has woodpeckers,” he explained. Petrovic called the Nanaimo SPCA and also dialed the RCMP, who attended around 10:30 p.m.and eventually decided it was not a police matter. “Both parties were spoken to at the time — some things were supposedly said by both sides,” said North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Jon Stuart. “Mr. Petrovic just wanted his neighbour spoken to, which was done. SPCA was already involved. This appears to be a civil dispute, not a police matter.” The next day Nanaimo SPCA animal-cruelty

Wally Petrovic holds one of his three surviving nun pigeons after ﬁnding one dead on his doorstep Tuesday. investigation officer Toni Morrison visited Petrovic’s home. She took the dead nun for a veterinarian to determine its cause of death. Results were expected today, or early next week. Morrison could not be reached. SPCA’s Leon Davis confirmed an investigation into animal cruelty, including bird deaths, can result in Crown recommending charges concerning the offence under provincial or federal law. Federal conviction carries less than five years in jail

Andrew Leong

and/or a fine under $10,000. Meanwhile, Petrovic will ensure his remaining three nuns don’t get lose again — he loves his pigeons too much to have more killed. “I don’t know what my fascination is with them; they just relax you,” he said. “Racing pigeons fly around and don’t disturb anyone. I guess I went to work and left the cage open.” He hopes charges of animal cruelty will be laid. “It’s not legal to go around killing people’s pets.”

Duncan resident had front row seats to a spectacular showing of wildlife in action in Duncan Wednesday morning. That is of a cougar hunting a squirrel in his backyard. As much as it was an amazing sight, Murray Clarke’s warning folks of the feline visitor on his property on Golab Pace off Lane Road in Duncan. “I work night shifts and I just got home and let my dog out around 7:30 a.m. for a pee, which is normal routine for us and my dog came running back in so scared and shaking,” Clarke explained. “So I came out to have a look and thought ‘Holy Cow.’” Clarke, a Duncan resident for about eight years, figured the cat was young and left by its mother to fend for itself. “My old dog that was about 55 pounds, I’d say it was about the same size,” Clarke said. He’s never seen a cougar from his time living in Duncan but he lost a German shepherd to a cougar when he lived in the Kootneys. “I wasn’t nervous,” Clarke said. “But after watching it, I went online, wondering ‘am I supposed to call anyone if I see one’ and went to the conservation officers website and found a number.” “I just thought we’re in an area with so many small dogs and cats,” he added. Anyone who spots wildlife where public safety is at risk should call the conservation hotline 1-877-952-7277 (RAPP).

Holy Cowichan! Rare cow triplets celebrated as a local royal birth Friday, July 26, 2013

Mellor Farm welcomes George, Will, and Kate in an unusual triple birth

News Leader Pictorial

iane the beef cow wasn’t about to be upstaged by Tuesday’s birth of royal baby, George. Diane the Limo-cross also gave birth July 23 to a George. And he was accompanied by a Will and a Kate as well, says Mellor Farm owner Eileen Mellor. “They were born around midnight — she had them all on her own. By the time I found them, they were up and had all been cleaned and nursed. No problems.” “It’s rare and doesn’t happen very often — usually beef cows have one calf,” the Herd Road farmer explained, acknowledging at least one triplet birth in Cowichan’s cattle history. Triplet cows were born at Dellison Farm on Sept. 13, 2011 when surprised owner, Ken Ellison, called

Andrew Leong

One-and-a-half day old triplet calves William, George and Kate bond at Mellor Farm under the watchful eye of mom Diane. that birth “basically once in a lifetime.” At the time he told the NLP his dad, Don, moved to Cowichan in 1947 and had never seen a triple birth. Ellison’s research found the odds are about one in 500,000 of beef cows having triplets where all three survived. Valley vet Chris Urquhart delivered Ellison’s cows. “Dickie James (farm) also had triplets about four or five years ago,”

noted Mellor, who was surprised but not shocked about her three newborns among her spread’s 70-plus head. “We have had twin calves the past three years in a row— that’s rare; about 1% of calf births are twins. I expected another set of twins.” Despite endearing royal names for her triplets, Mellor knows they’ll be slaughtered eventually. “When you have 70, and more coming next

year, you don’t think about it; you’re rearing them for a living, and you can’t hang onto them all.” Over the pond, little George’s proud parents, Prince William and Lady Kate, might hear about Mellors royally named newborns, but Mellor wasn’t expecting an invitation for tea and crumpets. “That’ll be the day,” she said. “They’re (royal folks) human, just like everyone else.”

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 7

Civil Liberties criticizes Pompeo delays

Dave Winter has joined our Award- winning Team in Nanaimo!

Shooting: advocate urges police to discipline officer who remains on public payroll after conviction Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

heels of justice are turning too slowly in sentencing convicted RCMP Const. David Pompeo, a B.C. Civil Liberties Association lawyer says. “We are very disappointed Const. Pompeo’s sentencing hearing has been adjourned for a month,” a release from BCCLA’s Raji Mangat says after Tuesday’s adjournment application, by Crown and defense counsel, was granted in Duncan court. “The guilty verdict came down five months ago. The RCMP should finally take appropriate, internal disciplinary action against Const. Pompeo, who has remained on the RCMP payroll all this time.” Mangat seeks justice for Cowichan’s Bill Gillespie who was unarmed when shot by Pompeo in a Chemainus driveway on Sept.

Dave Winter Shooting victim Bill Gillespie (top right) listens as B.C. Civil Liberties lawyer Raji Mangat speaks to the media following the July 23 postponed sentencing of David Pompeo. 18, 2009. “Bill Gillespie has been waiting almost four years for justice and, sadly, today he was told he’s going to have to wait even longer.” Pompeo’s two-day sentencing hearing set to begin Tuesday was unexpectedly adjourned, Mangat says. That hearing is now scheduled for Aug. 26 to 27, but moved to Colwood due to court-time scheduling. Judge Josiah Wood granted the adjournment application “and in so doing, acknowledged the matter had already been adjourned for a long time,” Mangat says. “The application was made

jointly by the Crown and defence on the basis counsel require additional time to prepare for constitutional arguments that will be heard at the same time as the sentencing hearing.” Charges were brought against Pompeo on May 5, 2011, nearly two years after the shooting, Mangat notes. On Feb. 14, Pompeo was found guilty of aggravated assault. “Const. Pompeo has yet to be disciplined by the RCMP for his unlawful conduct,” she says. “Mr. Gillespie is in constant pain as the bullet used in the shooting remains lodged (near) his spine. His life has been turned upside down.”

Four years is too long for police shooting justice Pompeo case: There is no good reason this case needed this amount of time to conclude

e get why some observers wonder whether Bill Gillespie may be settling into his new life’s role of police shooting victim with just a bit too much relish. And we understand why some are prone to be giving police officers the benefit of the doubt and wanting the system to do the same simply because of the nature of their jobs. But this David Pompeo case has gone way beyond ridiculous. Assuming sentencing actually happens on its rescheduled Aug. 26 to 27 Repeated dates, almost four years exactly will have passed between the time Pompeo delays are shot Gillespie and the time both will inexcusable learn the consequences of the act. Think about it. Four. Years. That’s enough time for people to go from diapers to grade school, to get married and divorced, move to other countries and return, to battle and defeat cancer, or to lose that same fight. Yet it is not enough time for our justice system to determine what to do with a police officer who shot an unarmed man. Remember, this is not a complex whodunit where investigators had to sift through a dense web of clues and testimony. Two cops pulled over two men. One cop shot one man. Take the testimony from each. Fact check it. Hear the experts. Weigh the case law. Listen to the arguments. Make a ruling. Instead, we got a 20-month police investigation, followed by another 20 months floating through the court system, followed by another six months of waiting for sentencing. All the while Pompeo remains on the public payroll and we are left to wonder who is paying all the legal fees. Is it any wonder Gillespie cries “preferential treatment?” Something needs to change.

We say:

Seeing both sides of: moving Cowichan hospital The case against

The case for

The trouble with renovating a 50-yearold public building is two-fold. The old building will have been built with the needs, priorities, policies and technology of its time paramount. No matter how creative the designers get, they will be restricted by 1960s thinking and materials. And the old building will have to continue to function as construction crews work around them.

The future of Cowichan hospital is being pondered.

Malahat renovations going the wrong way Jay Siska

News Leader Pictorial

top treating it like a road, and start treating it like a highway. That’s what I wrote for the 2012 wrap-up commentary issue many months ago. The engineers responsible for the design of the $8-million “safety upgrades” clearly haven’t paid attention, if what I’m seeing on the Malahat comes together as I think it will. A few months later, in a column about speeds on the ‘Hat, I said the incorrect mantra from law enforcement and other invested parties was “slow down.” Here’s what’s happened, and I hate to break it to you, but the Malahat is now a road — at least southbound, it is. Under the illusion slower traffic equals safer traffic, the upgrades appear to have been designed to slow traffic on purpose. The motoring public would be up in arms

if the Malahat speed limit was lowered by 10 or 20 kilometres per hour. So instead, the designers have employed driver psychology techniques and what would commonly be referred to as traffic calming devices — previously only seen on roads and streets — to make drivers slow naturally. Allow me to explain. When you start to feel constricted, or if something doesn’t feel right about the highway, your natural inclination is to slow down. Barriers on both sides of you? You slow down. New u-turn pull-out at Aspen Road? Better put an island there and make the highway deflect around it. Highways go straight, and their curves are long and tasty. You deflect a road at 50 km/h not a highway at 80. Highways don’t deflect around islands. It feels weird, you slow down. What looks to be the facilitation of southbound left turns at Tunnel Hill has shortened the two-lane section by a half-

There is nothing wrong with the site CDH sits on. It is central with plenty of room. People like it and it works. The building itself is an asset that should not be ignored. It just needs to be upgraded and improved so its space can be fully utilized. Too often planners will fall in love with a chance to create something from scratch instead of taking a more practical course. It can operate through a renovation.

kilometre. Congrats. By shortening the only passing lane available you’re either forcing drivers to quickly speed past slow drivers — and I mean really, seriously stomp on it — or abandon the passing lane all together (the reaction from pretty much every driver.) That’s a serious, and near-criminal, waste of highway. If you can’t pass, what’s the point? Oh, that’s right: slowing everything down. Add the fact that the two lanes at the end merge left-to-right not right-to-left as is normal everywhere (everywhere, apparently, except the Malahat) and it feels all wrong. Wrong equals slow. On the flip-side, northbound is flowing once you clear Goldstream. But it’s hard to tell how all these realignments are going to shake out. There are temporary lines everywhere, there are layout lines from the line guys, there are the existing highway lines that

have been there for years. So far it looks like a lot of future meandering lanes everywhere. The bottom line appears to be this: constrict and slow those heading to town, and let those getting out of town do so. Victoria people: enjoy getting back to town on Sunday afternoons, and those holiday long weekends, because it’s going to be slower than it ever has been — and I know it’s been slow as (swear word redacted). Maybe I’ve read the situation all wrong. Maybe I’ll be surprised with how awesome these upgrades are. Somehow, I seriously doubt it. Jay Siska writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial.

Here’s how senior salaries ballooned

Shawnigan residents fully support municipal audit

Dear editor The Shawnigan Residents Association is in full support of CVRD Director Ian Morrison’s call for fiscal accountability and the need for the municipal auditor to investigate the CVRD’s finances and operations. As tax increases have reached astronomical levels, the SRA questions the CVRD’s position and justification for increases in staff salaries in a time where fiscal restraint is not only necessary but expected. Further, it is unclear to us the dollar for value we receive when it comes to area services which have not increased to any significant degree in Shawnigan Lake. We hope the board will take swift and decisive action on behalf of taxpayers and that this will be the first step in addressing spending accountability at all levels. The SRA encourages all residents within the CVRD to make your voice heard and demand accountability by contacting your CVRD director. Garry Horwood

In my opinion: Plans made in good economic times weren’t adjusted

am offering an explanation, not an excuse, of CVRD senior staff remuneration and benefits. Much dialogue, consternation and public hand wringing has recently been noted — and justifiably — all focused on increases and the resulting present levels. The CVRD always paid management adequately. But, a decade or so back, the demand for certain skills and abilities was influenced by shortages in the private sector complemented by a bubble of growth in local governments across Canada. The CVRD hired human resource witch doctors, and decided, under professional advice, to set the pay scale bench SRA president mark at the CVRD at the 75 percentile of our peer regional districts. This was to be competitive, retain staff, and to be an employer of Rising taxes not the concern of a choice. Large salary increases ensued.

1926: ﬁres

1926: taxes

by Ann Andersen

The 1926 property tax levy of $23,125.11 had mostly been paid with just 15 per cent outstanding, reported Mr. James Greig, City of Duncan treasurer. He was waiting for a government grant of $284 for schools.

The Napier sawmill at Mile 51 near Gleneagles post ofﬁce, was completely destroyed in a ﬁre causing a loss of $25,000. A gang of men rushed from Duncan by Major Porteous was too late to save the mill due to low water pressure and lack of equipment.

1926: sports

A group including Messrs. A. E. Green, Cowichan Sports Club, tennis club members James “F.” Hoey and C. Dobson, and property owners D. R. Hattie and George Lewis petitioned Duncan to improve access to the sports ﬁelds on Wharncliffe.

News Leader Pictorial

ront page news, July 1926: “Thoroughly rotted at foot, the flagstaff which was erected in 1914 at the corner of the Dominion government building, Duncan, where the Indian department office is situated, came down about three o’clock on Monday afternoon. “Striking the roof of the barn on Mrs. E. Castley’s property, the lofty spar broke in three, the top part with the Union Jack falling to the ground close to a sleeping tent. The other two portions fell into the roadway which surrounds the building, one piece dropping across the right front fender of Corporal Russell’s car, smashing the right hand lamp and putting the right front door out of commission.” Damage to the barn roof was broken weathering boards and some shingles. The 60-ft. pole was of Douglas fir but, said investigators, it had not been treated with preservative at the butt and was not held by ropes. It seemed the only maintenance had been to paints it two years before. The Leader remarked it was fortunate so little damage had occurred. The high wind took the stick eastward instead of westward across Craig Street. Had it fallen that way, there could have been considerable damage and possible injuries, surmised the editor.

After current work ends, more medians will occur at Goldstream Park’s south end, plus construction of an acceleration lane at Finlayson Arm Road, staff explained. Including current work, $18 million has been spent since 2001 on upgrading the Malahat carrying a daily average of 22,330 vehicles, staff said. “It’s not the road, but the drivers — there are always going to be bad drivers,” Dollman said, applauding RCMP support for the projects. “You can’t fix stupid; people drink and drive, and put others’ lives at risk.”

magine an organization which has donated funds for more than 65 consecutive years to support cancer patient care, research and equipment. Now imagine the commitment of thousands of members hosting socials and teas, bazaars, raffles and other fund-raisers, as well as giving freely of their time to meet their charitable goals. According to Ruth Foster, Director of Cancer Activities for the O.E.S., “There are four categories of annual giving: educational bursaries, equipment, supplies and Cancer Dressings.” Last year, $8,362.29 was collected from the sale of cancelled stamps and postcards throughout British Columbia and Yukon to be distributed for Cancer Research or Cancer Dressings, wherever it is needed. (We must thank our friends in the community for keeping us well supplied with stamps.) Sunset Chapter #44, Duncan has one of our 39 Cancer Dressing Stations, located downstairs in the Mercury Theatre on Brae Road, Duncan. Last year, throughout our jurisdiction, 170 dedicated members volunteered 8120 hours producing 69,708 cancer dressings at a cost of $9,599.91. (We’ve used up inventory on hand, which once again reduced expenses. There is a need for dressings in Northern BC, so these numbers will likely increase next year.)

p m a t S Out r e c n a C

Presently, sterilization is only being done by certain Hospitals and Clinics by trained and qualified staff in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna andd Prince George. The present method of distribution on is - the hospital staff will give the patient a supplyy of cancer dressings to take home. Local cancer patients requiring dressings are asked to contact the Canadian Cancer Society Office at 250-746-4134. Cancer is a dreadful disease without the added burden of the expense of dressings often required. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CHARGE TO THE PATIENT. All that is required is a doctor’s referral. By supporting our Stamp Project, attending bazaars and teas, the Cabaret Night or buying tickets on our annual Cancer Draw, you enable us to continue our efforts in the fight against cancer. We’ve had a Polar Swim each February since 2005, first at Transfer Beach in Ladysmith and starting this year, at Departure Bay in Nanaimo. Thanks to pledges/donations, the members willing to brave the chilly water, have raised over $50,000.00 for Cancer Projects. Please drop off your used stamps at the Cowichan News Leader/Pictorial Office between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, Mon. to Fri., #2-5380 Trans Canada Hwy., the United Steelworkers Office, 351 Brae Road, or the local Cancer Office, #100-394 Duncan Street. NB: Our Stamps Dealers dictate how the stamps are to be trimmed, so we are asking our friends in the community NOT to TRIM stamps off envelopes. Just leave the stamps intact and we’ll do the rest. We don’t want any stamps to be spoiled. Thanks.

Island Savings personal banking manager Karen Foster with some papers of the type you may want to consider shredding in order to protect yourself from identity theft.

Shield yourself from the nasty club of identity theft — get your shredding started right here Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

slands Savings’ shredding event Saturday won’t see skaters performing tricks in the parking lot or guitarists tapping furiously on their fretboards. Rather it’s an opportunity for folks to bring their confidential documents to the branch to safely shred. And, in the process to learn a thing or two about identify theft. “Identity theft is growing, with many innocent people becoming victims,” said a press release issued by Island Savings Credit Union. “According to the Canadian AntiFraud Centre’s 2012 report, over 17,000 Canadians — the majority age 50 to 59 — reported almost

$16 million in losses due to identity theft.” Identify theft often occurs when a victim’s trash is combed. “You can protect yourself, your family and your business by regularly shredding important documents including bank statements, credit card statements, credit card offers, obsolete tax records and medical or legal information,” advised the press release. “As a general rule of thumb, you should be shredding all documents that contain a signature, account number, or social security number.” To help teach people about safe management of documents and disposal, ACCESS approached Island Savings to provide shredding services to its members and

the general public. “There are steps all of us can take to minimize the risks, including properly disposing of paper documents, keeping PINs and passwords private and regularly changing access codes,” said manager of risk and security for Island Savings Cindy Manhas. “Our goal, when it comes to identity theft, is educate the public and help protect them against the very real possibility of having their information stolen and used illegally.” Saturday’s event takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Duncan Centre branch. The service is free for members. Non-members are asked to make a $2 donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters, who will be holding a separate fundraiser at the event.

Capsule Comments

t’s a myth that you must have a bowel movement every day. For some people, three times daily is normal. For others, it could be every second or third day. Some people believe that “toxins” will build up if you don’t evacuate your bowels daily. That is another myth. There has been much information about 3D printers in the media lately. The applications of this new technology are being investigated by medical scientists and one of the first body parts they are trying to produce is the human ear. It is very early days for the medical uses of 3D printing but the future looks very exciting. Some medications can have side effects but most cause no problems. Some classes of drugs can affect your sense of balance and that can be a problem, especially in the elderly. These can include drugs to treat depression, high blood pressure and heart problems, sleep problems and anxiety. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist if you are concerned about the side effect of any drug you are taking. In Wales, back in April, there was a marked increase in the number of cases of measles. Mass vaccinations took place to prevent the spread of this disease. This highlights the fact that some parents are not vaccinating their children against measles and other preventable diseases. Immunization really does work!

For questions about immunization, drug side effects or other health-related problems, talk to our pharmacists: a great source of reliable health information.

Documentary digs into cement town history Bamberton: Victoria college produces 30-minute partly animated film

The town that was their home is now a closed, remediated ghost town nestled on a steep slope of the Malahat mountain, overlooking Saanich Inlet, she explains of the sweeping property where a proposed village has been pitched, and nixed, twice to Cowichan’s regional directors. Free tours visit Bamberton village, the original rock quarry and waterfront, and the Bamberton Museum housed in the original site-manager’s house. Other Bamberton buildings were moved, and dot the Cowichan area. “History is brought to life on these tours by dozens of creatively, crafted life size figures offering you a unique glimpse of history never seen before,” says Alexander. Bamberton Bound will be screened July 28, and Aug. 4, 11, 18, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Bamberton Museum, 1451 Trowsse Rd., Mill Bay. Bus tours happen at noon, 1:30 and 3 p.m. Advance booking is recommended Call 250-743-9196. Visit bambertonhistoricalsociety.org.

Will light return to David’s Tunnel?

Paddle down: Mom heartbroken after commemorative sign for her late son disappears from the forested stretch that was so precious to him Nick Bekolay

News Leader Pictorial

commemorative sign marking a local man’s favourite stretch of road has vanished, and the man’s mother would like to see it make its way home. Helen Evans said she first noticed the sign’s absence from a forested stretch of Meade Creek Road three weeks ago while out walking with a friend. The sign, a wooden paddle carved with raised letters reading “Davids Tunnel” had vanished from its usual spot “up on a tree so high that even a very tall person couldn’t reach it.” “Whoever took it down had to have a ladder or something because it was just up too high,” Evans said. “And it was put up there in that way so you could see it, but you couldn’t touch it. “So somebody made the effort to take it down and I’m thinking it might be somebody new who had no idea of the significance of (the sign) to the family and to the neighbour-

hood.” The sign was carved by Buck Stinson and varnished by Mike Green, neighbours who had befriended her late son, David Hamilton. It was raised in commemoration of Hamilton’s love for a section of Meade Creek Road that threads its way through a dense grove of Douglas fir where “the trees are so close that they almost overhang,” Evans said. “When you’re going through there, it is like going through a tunnel. It’s very beautiful.” Hamilton died in 2006 at the age of 44, Evans said, but he lived the life of “an eternal child” as a result of Down syndrome. “He had the enthusiasm and the delight of a child,” Evans said. Hamilton’s contagious enthusiasm readily won over neighbours and strangers alike, and “he taught so many people so much,” Evans said. “He was such a pleasant, outgoing, affectionate young man and everybody was very fond of him.” Toward the end of his life, Hamilton lived in a private care facility in Mill Bay, Evans said, but visits home would inevitably result in Hamilton asking his mother to take him to his

The paddle marking David’s Tunnel was a gift created and installed by neighbours in memory of the late David Hamilton. tunnel. “He loved that tunnel,” Evans said. “Every time we left the house, if we were going into the village, right away he’d ask me ‘Let’s go through the tunnel, mom.’” “David’s Tunnel” was quickly adopted as a location in itself and “we all call it that,” Evans said. Shortly after Hamilton’s death, Stinson gifted the sign to Evans. Green volunteered to coat the sign in spar varnish, Evans said, Stinson installed it in David’s Tunnel in 2007.

BOOK NOW

Evans said she hopes the sign is returned once people learn of its significance. She asked that it be left anonymously at any public venue in the Lake Cowichan area, namely the Lake Cowichan Seniors Centre, Cowichan Lake Sports Arena or the public library. Returning the sign in person would be a welcome gesture, too, Evans said, even if it was left “at the end of the driveway.” Evans can be reached by phone at 250-7496067. National Energy Board

Trans Mountain ULC intends to seek Board approval to expand the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system from its current capacity of 300,000 bpd (barrels per day), to approximately 890,000 bpd. The application is expected to be filed with the NEB in late 2013. For more information on this project, please visit www.neb-one.gc.ca, where you can sign up for process and PFP updates via e-mail. The NEB will hold public information sessions in fall 2013 in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline to explain the Participant Funding Program and the hearing process. Funds will be made available to help persons who are directly affected or have relevant information or expertise review and comment on a project application to be submitted by the proponent, Trans Mountain. Funding must be used to prepare for and participate in the hearing process, which will be announced by the Board at a later date. To receive funding, all approved recipients will be required to apply to participate and be granted intervenor status in the NEB’s regulatory process for this project. A funding review committee, independent of the regulatory process, will consider all applications for funding and make recommendations on the allocation of funds. Funding applications can be submitted beginning now until 60 days after the Board releases its list of intervenors. The hearing date has not yet been set, as an application has not yet been filed. When the NEB sets a hearing date, that information will be made public. Funding will only be awarded for hearing related activities conducted after your PFP application has been approved. Please review the Participant Funding Program Guide to determine when and how to apply for funding and what funding will cover. Interested persons are encouraged to review information on the proposed project before submitting an application. This information, as well as the Participant Funding Program Guide, the Application for Funding Form and the Contribution Agreement can be found on the Board’s website (www.neb-one.gc.ca) under Public Participation.

Haunting vocalist plays Duncan

ON STAGE

Bob Egan has played for Wilco and Blue Rodeo among others. He says “When I hear Shannon (Lyon), I hear the rhythms of the Midnight Cowboy, the harmonies of an earth-bound angel, the acoustic guitar that knows the pain of a heart, the steel guitar that stirs the lonely and restless lovers.”

Shannon Lyon’s voice has been haunting people in a good way since 1994, as he has released 10 studio albums and taken his music on the road throughout Canada and Europe. Lyon is back on the road this summer, as he embarks on his ﬁrst lengthy Canadian tour

since the mid-1990s. His 24-date summer tour sees him playing his songs for people from Ontario all the way to Vancouver Island. Lyon plays the Duncan Garage Showroom at 201-330 Duncan St. Thursday, Aug. 1 at 8:30 p.m.

“There are more people every year, and there is also a bigger budget every year,” he said. When Johns decided to start the festival, the closest bluegrass festival was in Coombs. “I was playing in a bluegrass band, and I thought there were festivals all over the place, and there wasn’t one here, so I thought it would be a good idea,” he said. Johns’s favourite thing about putting on the festival is watching the crowd. “It’s such a rewarding feeling during the day when you get a big crowd show up, and everyone’s enjoying the music and having a good time,” he said. “It just feels good.” For more information, visit www.chemainusbluegrass.com or find the Chemainus Bluegrass Festival on Facebook.

will be. The 2013 version of the Chemainus Bluegrass Festival will take place at Waterwheel Park in Chemainus this Saturday and Sunday (July 27 and 28), with a preview of one of the festival’s top bands at Chemainus’ ArtBeat celebration on Friday evening. Vancouver-based Five on a String will arrive in Chemainus this Friday and will head straight over to Willow Street as the featured artists at the ArtBeat celebration. It’s a busy weekend for the band. They’ll play two sets on Saturday, plus a short gospel set to open the day’s events on Sunday, which will be followed by another full set later in the day. Band members will also offer free workshops on Saturday morning to anyone interested in learning more about the guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle or bass. These workshops will go ahead if enough people sign up ahead of time through the festival website at www. chemainusbluegrass.com. The Five on a String band isn’t the only major attraction this year. Also arriving from the Mainland will be Highrise Lonesome, which has just released its latest CD, Shades of Bluegrass. Although the festival will be bringing a couple of top bands over from the Mainland to headline the weekend’s events, Vancouver Island bands will not be ignored. “The island is home to some of Canada’s finest musical talent, and the festival is proud to present plenty of island-based music,” states a press release. This includes Nanaimo’s Ira Pelletier and his new band, the Hub City Ramblers; the Cowichan-based Maple Mountain Boys and Bluegrass Fever, which is rated the number-four bluegrass band in Canada on ReverbNation. There will be many more attractions at the festival, including a display by the

HYDE, Margaret October 13, 1944 ~ July 15, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Margaret (Peggy) Hyde (Briers) on July 15, 2013. Peggy passed peacefully into the hands of the lord, surrounded by her family and the loving company of caring friends at her home, after a determined and courageous battle with cancer. Peggy will be forever lovingly remembered and missed by her husband of 49 years, Terence; her children David (Mary), Michael (Clara) and Alexandra; grandchildren Kevin, Nicholas, Joey, (Donna), (Craig) and (Cailee); greatgranddaughter (Olivia); brother Frank; sisters Stephanie, Hazel and Mary. She will also be greatly missed by her loyal canine companions, Max, Chloe and (Charlie). Born in Christchurch, England, Peggy immigrated to Edmonton, Canada with her husband Terence in January 1968 as an adventurous young bride and mother. In 1969, Peggy and Terry moved to Victoria, BC and made Vancouver Island their home. In addition to being a well known and respected business owner in the community, Peggy enjoyed her quiet time quilting, cake decorating, gardening, dressmaking and above all, being a loyal and devoted wife, Mum and grandmother â€œGrammyâ€?. Today, as we mourn the passing of a wonderful person, we welcome, the freedom of her spirit, we celebrate, her meeting with the lord, we cherish, the memory of our time with her, we remember, the love of a wife, mother and friend The Hyde family and friends would like to express our sincerest appreciation and gratitude to the VIHA Nursing staff ,home care attendants and the Doctors, Nurses and auxiliary staff at Cowichan District Hospital for the kindness, care and compassion extended to Peggy during her illness. We also would like to express our deepest gratitude and love to our private care worker Nikki, for the many hours of extraordinary care, compassion, love and affection extended to Peggy.

A celebration of Peggyâ€™s life will be held at Pine Lodge Farm, 3191 Mutter Road in Mill Bay on Sunday July 28, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. At Peggyâ€™s request, vibrant colour is the fashion for the service.

With sorrowful hearts, we announce the sudden peaceful passing of our beloved Georgina at the Chemainus Health Care Centre, with her loving family by her side.

Our sincere â€œThank youâ€? to all for supporting â€œPennies for Presentsâ€? You may drop off your donations to:

The News Leader Pictorial, Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5 pm, #2 â€“ 5380 Trans Canada Highway, Duncan, BC

Georgina was predeceased by her daughter Sharon Thomas in 2013 and great grandson Mikey Young in 2004. She is survived by her devoted husband of 67 years, Albin Falt; brother Edward Ricketts (Myrna); brother-in-law George Falt (Betty); son Bernie Falt; daughter Camille Wright (Rich Rogers), daughter Theresa Bodger (Don); grandchildren Deanna Schmidt (Ron), Gina Young (Shawn), Shauna Thomas (Mike Vipond) and Derek Wright (Diana); and great grandchildren Andrea La, Danielle Schmidt and Kadeyn and Trinity Vipond. Georgina was born in Sidney, B.C., the second youngest of eight children to Fred & Ethel Ricketts. The family moved to Esquimalt where she attended Lampson Street School and Esquimalt High. She met Albin Falt in 1941 and, due to the Second World War, delayed their marriage until May 10, 1946 at Esquimalt Naval Garrison, St. Paulâ€™s Church. Georgina worked at Smallâ€™s Bakery in Victoria and, during wartime, she was employed at Boeing airplane plants in Victoria and Vancouver. After the war ended, she went to work at Standard Furniture in Victoria. After Georgina and Albin eventually moved to Cowichan Bay, she worked at Wilson Motors in Duncan as a bookkeeper. Georgina then worked at their family-owned tugboat company and was the dispatcher until she retired. She spent many volunteer hours with the Cowichan Bay Fire Departmentâ€™s womenâ€™s auxiliary and in the gift shop at the Cowichan District Hospital. In later years, Georgina and Albin spent summers at their log cabin on Alexis Lake in the Cariboo and made many visits to Hawaii. She never thought of herself and did not want to be a burden to others. Always an elegant lady, Georgina lived and died peacefully with dignity and grace. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to our family doctor, Dr. Brian Bass. Special love and thanks to the Chemainus Health Care Centre activities directors, companion Pearl Chisholm and especially the nursing staff at Ocean Point for their wonderful care and attention to Georgina. A mass celebrating the life of Georgina will take place Saturday, July 27 at 11:30 a.m. at St. Edwardâ€™s Church, 2085 Maple Bay Road, Duncan, with Father Alfredo Monacelli officiating. Food and beverages will be served afterwards in the church hall downstairs. On-line condolences at www.sandsduncan.ca

It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Jean Woodford in Duncan, B.C. Jean was born to Ethel and Josef Doerflinger in Armstrong B.C.

She volunteered her time to support organizations such as the Canadian Cancer Society, the Cowichan Historical Society and the Cowichan Music Festival. Jean will be dearly missed by her loving family and friends. The family would like to thank the staff of the Cowichan District Hospital for their compassionate care and support.

Bantam lacrosse squad goes to the wire in provincial tourney

News Leader Pictorial

he experience was key in CV Thunder Bantam B’s provincial action in Delta this past weekend. Although the squad lost all three of its matches, players were pumped nonetheless to suit up with more than 500 lacrosse players from all over the province playing with 30 teams. Their tournament opener Friday, July 19 was against Delta, with the Cowichan team falling short by one. “Thunder came out strong and was leading until the last few minutes when Delta scored and tied the game at 5-5,” explained team man-

ager Paula Harris. “Destiny turned the tables and in the last seconds Delta scored to win the game 6-5.” Cowichan’s goal scorers included Brayden Grantham (2), Parker Teufel (2) and Michael Shepherd. Assists came from Will Wright, Caleb Nordstrom, Liam Joe, Seth Negaard and Brayden Grantham. That match’s MVP was goalie Zander Cozine. The boy’s second match saw them square off against Langley B2 later that day with yet another close loss. “Thunder dominated the first period with three goals but at the end of regulation time it was a tie game 5-5 and went to sudden death overtime,” Harris re-capped. Cowichan players that made the scoreboard were Nordstrom, Teufel, Shepherd (2) and Gavin Spencer.

Brady Williams (2), Joe, Clayton Raphael, Nordstrom, Sam Baxter, Shepherd and Cozine all banked assists. That match’s MVP was Raphael. Thunder’s third game Saturday was met with a Vancouver squad and for a third time in a row a close match. “Thunder scored first and lead in the second period but fell 5-4 with Vancouver scoring in the last two minutes of the game,” said Harris. Raphael, Granthem, Spencer and Miles Brooks racked in goals. Assists came from Spencer, Granthem, Nordstrom (2), Teufel and Wright And Spencer found himself in that match’s MVP glory. Thunder goalie, Cozine received the Fair Play Award as well as the Provincials All Star Award.

Devils end 15 years of chasing with a B.C. ball hockey title Underground’s Ben Woywichka, Cole Thompson, Keifer Smiley, Darin Lashman pose after their big provincial win. submitted

News Leader Pictorial

“

Some of us have been trying for this for 15years,” said a very pumped Karny Dhillon of his team’s big win in ball hockey provincials action in Vernon this past weekend. “We’ve actually been playing for a long time together and last year we made the finals and lost it,” he said of the Underground Devils squad based out of Victoria but made up mostly of Cowichan players and the team taking

the top spot in the province this time around. In the finals, the Devils met the Burnaby Bombers and knocked them off with a 4-2 win. “It had been a close game but Aaron (Spotts) tallied two goals,” said Dhillon of the Men’s C division action. Before that, the Devils played the Coquitlam Sabres and smashed them 7-3. “It was close, 4-3 for the longest time,” re-capped Dhillon. “Cole (Thompson) scored a very key goal to give us the spread.” In round-robin action, the guys met

the Kelowna squad with an easy 7-0 win, and they saw the same fate with another 7-0 win against the Kamloops Blues. And then they ran with it, beating the Vancouver Kings 7-1. “We had some real young and homegrown talent from our town of Duncan,” said Dhillon, noting ex-Capitals Mike Hammond and Tyler Matheson as well as Thompson and Keifer Smiley, both with very big presences with Cowichan ice-hockey. Spotts was awarded the tournament’s MVP.

Cowichan explodes against Oak Bay

fter three away games in Victoria, Cowichan cricket players returned to Shawnigan Lake July 21 to play Oak Bay, a team they had beaten once in May. The outfield was bone dry, the grass short just as batsmen relish. Adam Benning (72) and Nagy Thomas (50) made the most of the conditions with a spectacular second wicket stand of more than 100 runs. After only 12 overs the total had reached 100. The same fast scoring rate continued as 200 appeared on the scoreboard after 24 overs thanks to Rohn Mahen who made 38 and Steve Mayall (43 not out). Mits Nakagawa came in at number 8 with a point to prove with the total

at 210 for 6. He pushed his individual score to 118 not out by the end of the 45 overs. Cowichan’s innings closed at 375 for 6, possibly the highest total by a Cowichan team in decades.. Oak Bay was resigned to its fate after a tiring afternoon. Seven bowlers shared the task, although only two made inroads into the batting. Clayton Bodkyn took 4 for 44 and Nakagawa 3 for 36, rounding off a very memorable day for the latter. The game appeared over when Oak Bay were 122 of 6, but the number 7 and 8 batsmen scored 77 each, keeping tCowichan in the field for an extra 24 overs. They ended with a very respectable 281 all out. — submitted

Young rowers outpull peers on provincial pond

Shawnigan Lake: First-year duo wins B.C. championship Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

hey’re both fairly new to rowing, but something’s clicking for Edouard Receveaux and Anders Farr. And the proof is in their recent provincial championship title win

in rowing. The Grade 8 Shawnigan Lake Students (entering Grade 9 come September), Receveaux and Farr took the top spot in the province in the B.C. Championships/Challenge West regatta’s doubles category in the July 12 to 14 competition. “They both started this year, and winning the B.C. champs is really pretty impressive,” coach Gillian Coy said. “It was very rewarding for me to work with them this year.” Both boys trained five times a week through final exams, and into their summer vacation for the provincials. “I am really proud of all they have done, and they have shown amazing maturity for a couple of Grade 8s. We have never had a crew in the B.C. Championships before,” said Coy. Because the duo did so well in the double events in the Maple Bay and Shawnigan Regatta’s earlier this, Coy decided to enter them into the doubles category in the provincial. “We started as a quad crew with two other boys, but then me and Anders were put in the double, and they really saw us take off,” explained Receveaux. “They won the 2x (double) in rowing at the Maple Bay Regatta and at the Shawnigan Regatta earlier this year, and since they are both

The boys competed against 15 other boats, including some from the Seattle Rowing Center, Artemis Rowing club (California), Victoria City Rowing Club (event host), and Thunderbird Rowing Club (Vancouver). “On Saturday, the boys came second in the heat to qualify for the final as two boats from each heat advanced to the final,” explained

Coy. “Their time of 3:55 minutes over 100m was the second fastest time in the event. On Sunday, they lead throughout the race and won with a time of four minutes with a slight headwind on the course.” “In the final, we just got a really good start to our race and we just kind of kept a lead the whole way,” said Farr, noting the Seattle team was about five seconds behind, finishing in second. “It was one our best races.”

Both boys plan on rowing again next school year, but are very much looking forward to some fun in the sun for the rest of the summer. They were both extremely grateful to their coaches. “We really have to thank our coaches, Mrs. Coy, Mr. Coy and Mr. Bomans,” said Farr. “She pretty much gave half of her summer instead of suntanning somewhere,” added Receveaux of Gillian.
