It took Dorothea Young one year to complete this massive 8,000-piece puzzle.
One piece at a time BY KEN GOUDSWAARD kgoudswaard@chilliwacktimes.com

t was just one puzzle piece. But a puzzle isn’t really a puzzle unless you have all the pieces. And, when you’re making an 8,000-piece puzzle, well, coming up one short just isn’t an option. At least not for master puzzle builder Dorothea Young who spent the last year single-handily building the 192 cm (75.5 inches) by 140 cm (53.5 inches) behemoth. “Every so often you think a piece is lost and you get upset,” she said. “It would break your heart if you did it all and one piece is missing.” So concerned she might lose
a piece, Young didn’t vacuum under the dining room table the puzzle sat atop for the entire year. “No wool sweaters,” she said, when puzzling. “They pick up pieces on the elbow.” Young spent three hours a day, on average, piecing things together. It was a labour of love for a woman who says she enjoys building the puzzles nobody else will do. The puzzle, Cottage Stream by Sung Kim, was given to Young by her friend Judy Lasarge, who received it as a Christmas gift. Lasarge didn’t have room for the monster puzzle, but she knew Young was an enthusiast. Undaunted by the size or the difficulty rating (“ultra extreme”
according to the website Serious Puzzles) Young went to the dollar store and purchased 20 cookie sheets. She started the job of building by separating the pieces into various categories, starting first with the border pieces. Lasarge helped out by having a special board made that would sit on top of Young’s dining room table. It’s the same board to which the puzzle will be glued and eventually hung on a wall. While some might be paralyzed by the thought of putting together so many pieces, for Young it was a form of relaxation. “I’ve always done puzzles,” she said. “I’ve done 2,000-piece puzzles, smaller ones, but I’ve never done an 8,000 piece. This will be the largest I do.”
hether or not a former Greendale elementar y school teacher is a pedophile who may one day act physically on what he saw in the thousands of pornographic images of children he shared was the subject of some discussion in Chilliwack Provincial Court last week. The real focus, however, of the second day of a sentencing hearing for John Patrick Davy who was convicted of possession and distribution of child pornography centred around a psychological assessment to measure his risk to reoffend. Davy was caught a year ago with more than 27,000 digital child porn images. He pleaded guilty on Feb. 19 to possession and distribution of child pornography. Day one of his sentencing hearing was March 27, day two was April 23 and he was back in court for a continuation April 29. Central to the second day of the hearing last Wednesday was crossexamination of Dr. Hendre Viljoen, a forensic psychologist, who produced a report for the court on Davy’s risk to reoffend. Viljoen determined Davy is a low to moderate risk to reoffend. Davy’s lawyer Martin Finch suggested the risk should be assessed at low, but Viljoen said he included the expanded “moderate” risk because of the pure volume { See DAVY, page A4 }
