Salish Sea: Commercial harvest peacefully underway despite Stz’uminus declaration

News Leader Pictorial

threatened First Nations’ blockade of Salish Sea has yet to materialize — much to the relief of Cowichan spot prawn fishermen. The commercial spot prawn season opened at noon yesterday in local waters under the shadow of last week’s Stz’uminus First Nation announcement that it was banning all boat traffic in its traditional waters. Police cruised the area as fishing began, but with no sign of any action being taken to enforce the declaration, local fisherman Lance Underwood was cautiously optimistic the ‘sea bugs’ would be available for harvest during a prawning season expected to last about six weeks. “I have a feeling there might be a lot of resistance to us entering the (prawning) area,” Underwood said of Stz’uminus’ potential blockade of its core territories in waters between Dodds and Sansum Narrows. Stz’uminus agents were unavailable for comment at press time. But there have been no reports of any action taken in the wake of the band’s May 2 announcement. If the blockade occurs, Underwood — who basically makes his living from prawn-

ing — said he and other fishing crews will respect Native wishes, stay out, and observe. “We’re going to remain calm and take pictures, and video,” he told the News Leader Pictorial Thursday morning. “We’re trying to take the high road on this. We’re hoping this fizzles out — this is one of the most productive prawn grounds on the coast.” It’s also where the Stz’uminus, and other people, have harvested food fish for generations — a right Chief John Elliott apparently believes is threatened by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. “Stz’uminus First Nation has endured DFO’s frustrating oversight of the fisheries in the Salish Sea for decades,” his May 2 statement reads. “The DFO has repeatedly failed to follow proper Aboriginal Consultation and Accommodation laws, and continues to enact policy reflecting this failure. “Ongoing mismanagement of the fisheries, leave us no choice: our community must take action.” Elliott explains he understands a blockade would affect commercial fishing crews. “Our fight is with the DFO alone, and our hope is to compel them to follow Canadian law when enacting new policy, and change their existing policies surrounding Aboriginal access.” more page 6

ost of Echo Heights forest is now poised to become parkland after council gave first reading to a controversial 11th-hour proposal by North Cowichan’s mayor. The narrow 4-3 vote accepted Jon Lefebure’s plan to set aside 91% of the forest, and sell 17 lots — worth about $150,000 each — comprising the rest of the 52-acre public property, the mayor explained. Councillors John Koury, Al Siebring, and Jennifer Woike opposed Lefebure’s proposal that scrubbed council’s earlier two readings toward saving just 80% of Echo Heights as parkland, and marketing 40-some housing lots. Lefebure acknowledged his 91% solution will see council reap about $2 million for public programs — some $1.5 million less than selling 40 lots under the scratched 80% plan. Still, he was delighted how his community came together under his 91% plan to help end an eightyear controversy rooted in saving the forest. “It was amazing how the Cowichan Residents’ Association, and a lot of other people, emailed and spoke in support of the new proposal.” more on page 3

Free well testing offered as part of Cowichan River water study Do you know what’s in your well water? Cowichanians wanting answers have an opportunity to ﬁnd out for free this spring, B.C.’s forests ministry says. It has launched a study of groundwater quality in the Cowichan River watershed. The study involves sampling private and domestic wells to understand the relationship between

groundwater geochemistry, drinking-water quality, and the watershed’s geology. Sampling will happen May and June. “Residents living in the areas of Lake Cowichan, Honeymoon Bay, Mesachie Lake, Youbou, Paldi, Glenora, Somenos, Skutz Falls, or anywhere near the Cowichan River between Duncan and

Cowichan Lake, can volunteer to have their well water tested at no cost,” ministry staff states in a May 7 release.“Only a limited number of wells can be sampled.” Contact the ministry’s Nanaimo ofﬁce at 250-7517102, or email calista.melnechenko@gov.bc.ca.

ori Iannidinardo may be applying for a new job: prophet. Just days after the Cowichan Bay director predicted the derelict ship the SS Beaver was destined to sink to the bottom of the bay, that’s exactly what happened. The Beaver sank sometime between 8 and 8:30 p.m. Wednesday night. Ray Drouillard and two friends watched in horror from just 20 feet away as it went down. The group launched a boat to inspect the ship because it was showing signs of imminent foundering. They arrived just in time to see it slide, stern-first, under the waves and slowly drift away from its moorage as it eased toward the bottom. “The stench of oil and diesel was immediate,” Drouillard said. This comes just a few days after Iannidinardo spoke to the News Leader Pictorial about the boat, demanding an end to federal foot-dragging about derelict-boat legislation. The main focus of her ire, the Beaver was a replica of a 137-foot, diesel-powered classic paddle wheeler. It appeared in the bay about a year ago, just as another notorious large neglected ship, the Dominion, was hauled away by its

As Iannidinardo made her comments, the Beaver was sitting at the Western Stevedoring dock, but listing badly. “It’s hard to say what contaminants are on her. There’s a big chunk out of the Beaver after it got loose in a storm and rammed into Western’s dock. “It’ll more than likely sink,” she said, “but the worst part is Beaver is going straight into our eelgrass beds, a (planting) project we’ve been working on for years.” Iannidinardo was heartened after hearing federal officials visited Washington State to study its derelict-boat laws, but “they (feds) aren’t really moving fast enough.” She and Cowichan MP Jean Crowder want similar Canadian laws that would let the Coast Guard or community govern-

That’s exactly what folks at Western Stevedoring would like to do with the Beaver, she said. “They’d like to put it on their dock and take it apart.” Meanwhile, Iannidinardo cited a fleet of sunken smaller boats in the bay. “Many times people have taken their Fiberglas boats and sunk them, and then you see bits and pieces (wash ashore),” she said. “It’s an ongoing issue.” As far as the Beaver is concerned, Drouillard was worried about potential environmental damage and he wants someone to be held accountable. “Officials should answer why nothing was done. The Coast Guard has been warned over and over.” — with a file from John McKinley

Lefebure calls this latest plan a sweet spot park boosters can work with from page 1

He was gratified some folks, with “pretty rigid beliefs” about how much forest to save, exercised compromise. “We wanted to find a sweet spot together and stop the bitterness and acrimony, and I think that happened with this proposal.” He cited acceptance by the CRA’s task force that wanted all of Echo Heights saved as park. The parkland bylaw does not need a public hearing. Its next three readings will surface at successive council meetings, Lefebure explained. “We need a 2/3 majority on the final reading,” he said of required approval by four of his six councillors. Logged land for the 17 lots already has R-2 zoning, twinning nearby residential use. “It’s a straight extension of Humbird (Street), with a cul-desac,” Lefebure said of the 17 home lots. Their development will likely follow green guidelines being designed by staff.

Quick response snuffs Maple Bay fire Residents safe: Flames contained to garage, home hit hard by smoke damage Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

Andrew Leong

Maple Bay firefighters contain a fire that broke out in the garage at 1526 Magnolia Place at noon on Sunday.

ast action by the Maple Bay Fire Department prevented a fire that started in a garage at 1526 Magnolia Place from becoming more serious. “I think timing was everything on that,’’ said MBFD captain Kelly Paddle. “The fire itself was confined to the garage.’’ But Paddle said it was mere moments away from spreading to the main floor of the attached house when firefighters arrived Sunday around noon. “Knockdown was very quick, within five minutes,’’ said Paddle. “It was all mop-up and lots of it.’’

Four trucks and about 15 firefighters were on the scene, Paddle added. After arriving, they first had to determine if the homeowners were in the building. They found out the residents fled from the exterior of the building, went to a neighbour’s place and called 911. Even though the firemen quickly contained the blaze, damage is extensive and the smoke severely impacted the interior of the residence. “It blackened everything in there,’’ said Paddle. “The entire contents of the garage were burned,’’ he added. That included tools and storage contents. Cause of the fire was not immediately known.

Veteran mediator steps into local health contract talks

olding a hefty 96% strike mandate, Cowichan’s healthcare workers headed into mediated talks Thursday with the B.C. Health Employers’ Association, a union agent says. Veteran mediator Vince Ready would try to reach common ground between the province and the 11-union bargaining team after their contract ended March 31. Main issues at the table are job security, benefits protection, health and safety, plus changes to the ambulance service. Talks concern care aides, ambulance paramedics, health-records

staff, lab and other diagnostic specialists, sterile-supply techs, emergency dispatchers, nursingunit clerks, trades and maintenance workers, activity aides and rehab assistants, IT specialists, pharmacy techs, admitting and booking clerks, administrative staff, cleaning and dietary staff, and many others. Negotiations started Jan. 14, but crumbled in late March. The 11-union Facilities Bargaining Association includes Cowichan District Hospital and Cairnsmore lodge staffers. Unions involved include the Health Employees Union, CUPE Local 873, the B.C. Government

Service Employees’ Union, and two locals of the International Union of Operating Engineers. Union brass fear the employers’ refusal to extend employment security provisions could open health care to further privatization and put jobs risk, HEU’s Mike Old’s has stated. The expired contract protected services from contracting out. It was renegotiated into a 2012 agreement after being pulled by legislation 10 years earlier, noted Old. The Supreme Court of Canada later ruled that law unconstitutional. — Peter W. Rusland

Department of fisheries spokesperson says federal government in talks with the band from page 1

DFO staff had not answered the Leader’s list of questions about the band’s concerns, and the government’s reaction to the blockade, by press time. One staffer explained Wednesday the feds were in ongoing talks with

the band, and would involve the RCMP, if necessary, to ensure safety. Underwood was puzzled about the Stz’uminus’ fight with the feds — unless DFO is stopping Aboriginal access to their fishing grounds. Natives are not restricted when and where they can fish, he explained. “It’s basically unlimited access. They

can fish year round for food fish.” However, the rub — spawning the band’s potential blockade — could lie with federal enforcement of laws banning Natives from commercially selling food fish, he explained. Underwood noted there’s little or no DFO monitoring of Native foodfishing, while commercial crews pay

thousands annually for independent monitoring of their catch “to keep us a sustainable fishery.” “They should be able to harvest as much as they want, but should they be monitored? Yes. It’s a shared resource. “All sectors should be monitored.” Without proper fisheries’ polic-

ing, economic fallout from depleted prawn grounds could be dire for fishing families — and fuel racial tension, he warned. “The less prawns we have, the less we can sell in our stores,’’ said Underwood, of the Silver Girl harvesting for Cowichan Bay Seafood, “and that could drive the retail price up.”

Notice of Intent to Amend Zoning Bylaw

ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 3789 (APPLICABLE TO ELECTORAL AREA B – SHAWNIGAN LAKE) Notice is hereby given that the CVRD Board will consider reading a third time and adopting the above noted Amendment Bylaw at the regular Board meeting of May 14, 2014. As per Section 890(4) of the Local Government Act, the Cowichan Valley Regional District Board of Directors has reviewed Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3789, and found it to be consistent with the policies of the South Cowichan Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3510. Therefore, a Public Hearing has been waived and the Board has directed that this Public Notice occur in its place. Bylaw No. 3789 received first reading at the March 12, 2014, CVRD Regular Board meeting and second reading at the April 9, 2014, CVRD Regular Board meeting. Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3759 would amend Shawnigan Lake Zoning Bylaw No. 985 (1986) by: 1. Adding new or revised definitions of “boat shelter”, “seasonal cabin”, “secondary suite”, “small suite” and “community services facility” to the list of definitions. 2. The following new zones are created: CD-5 Rural Comprehensive Development 5 – Clearwater Resort, a new zone to apply to the former Clearwater Campground property at 2970 Glen Eagles Road, to recognize the existing cabin-type resort and to permit food services, instead of the present C-4 Zone that permits more uses (see map below).

8. 9.

11.

The Strathcona Heights area south of Shawnigan village (see map below) would all be rezoned to RR-2 (Rural Residential 2) from the various zones that presently cover this area: (Secondary Agricultural A-2; R-1 Rural Residential; F-1 Primary Forestry; R-1A Limited Rural Residential, and R-2 Suburban Residential).

W-4

3. 4.

Freshwater Conservation 4 – a new zone that would apply to the surface of Shawnigan Lake at the extension of all public road endings for a distance of 30 metres into the lake; this zone would not permit boat moorage or the creation of new structures. Boat shelter is added as a permitted use to the W-2 Zone, and boat house for public safety service providers only, with regulations for each being added. Small suite regulations are altered by permitting manufactured homes as suites, subject to the 85 square metre floor area limit, and secondary and small suite regulations are altered by specifying the minimum area of land required for a suite depending upon services to the land: · 1 hectare for parcels with neither a community water nor community sewer connection; · 0.4 hectare for parcels that have a community water connection. The “home occupation – domestic industry” and “home occupation – service industry” regulations and permitted are eliminated from the Bylaw, and in all cases are replaced by a new “home-based business” regulation that is more flexible than the old regulations in terms of the scope of uses, but which also has performance criteria to mitigate possible impacts upon neighbouring properties. The C-2 and C-2A Zones in Shawnigan Village will both be amended to allow for single family residential use of lands in these zones, whether there is a commercial use on them or not – at present, in order to have a residence there, it has to be secondary to a commercial business. The manufactured home park off Wallbank Road (see map below) is zoned as R-4A – Village Manufactured Home Park 4A.

The MP-1 Mobile Home Park Zone is eliminated entirely, because all manufactured home parks have been rezoned to either R-4A, RR-4 or RR-5. The property at 2740 Shawnigan Lake Road in the village core area (see map below) would be rezoned from P-1 Parks and Institutional to R-3 Urban Residential; it is used residentially and has not had an institutional use in more than 30 years.

for more information, please contact

10. A triangular piece of land to the east of Shawnigan Village of

about 4.5 hectares in area (see map below) is proposed to be rezoned from A-1 Primary Agricultural to A-2 Secondary Agricultural. This will allow an Agricultural Land Commission decision approving the subdivision of this parcel (along the BC Hydro power line) from the remainder to the west. The western area of this parcel is already approved for exclusion from the ALR.

Mike Tippett, Acting General Manager, Planning & Development Department at 250-746-2620.

A 12-minute taste of that play launched Friday’s Showcase that stoked drama teacher Shellie Trimble. “This is a new thing for us — I’m excited; it gives kids an opportunity to pursue areas of interest that may not fit into a block. “We wanted to try it and see if it works.” The creative array impressed origami artist Moka Shimatani. “It’s good because we may have another idea for (fellow students),” she said, cradling her bowl of paper birds. Outside, Kayla Carlson and Rachel Bocking were busy showing how volcanoes blow. “Candies have pores on the outside that react with coke, to release CO2 by creating a reaction,” Bocking explained.

Carlson called the Showcase “an inquiry project for the school and the whole community.” “We’re in block four and chose a project we’re interested in — we just always had an interest in volcanoes, and put our hands to work.” Dalton Louie said “It’s a good idea to get fresh ideas on projects instead of having to do similar projects over and over.” Hang-drum maker Elizabeth Stoker said the working session was “a wonderful use of people’s interests, and to integrate it into a learning environment is great.” Nearby, Camille Bourcier was showing the enamel-metal jewelry she made based on band logos. “I got to follow my interests and look into the jewelry process, and different techniques. “Everyone gets more fun out of school by following their interests — I could imagine myself following this (jewelry making) after (leaving) school; there’s a feeling of pride when you complete a project.’’

Get off the dock side and get something done Derelict boats: Enough is enough, take action

e have no idea of what kind of damage the sinking of the SS Beaver will cause in Cowichan Bay — if any at all. Humans, their garbage and their industry have been fouling the estuary and the adjacent sea for generations. Even if the faux paddlewheeler went down with full tanks of diesel, it’s likely the bay has endured worse than this during that span. But that’s not really what’s important here. What is important is the authories have been aware for months that the Beaver was a risk and they did absoStop the lutely nothing to address that. excuses and Worse, it is just the latest in a string of similar shipwrecks-in-waiting left to waiting for rot on local waterways while officials the feds screw up their noses and wring their hands, and moan about how they are absolutely powerless to fix the problem. There comes a time when excuses are simply not enough. There comes a time when someone needs to take a stand. To the south of us, Greater Victoria officials have used creative methods to crack down on similar situations in Oak Bay and in the Gorge. Police, municipalities and federal officials have worked together to find loopholes, then take action. Why can’t the same thing happen here in Cowichan? Take some chances. Stop talking about what you can’t do and start considering what you can. Take a chance. Get creative with a strategy, then implement it. Say there is an environmental or navigation hazard and seize the boat. Who’s going to complain? When someone abandons a pile of metal and plastic on land, it is treated like what it is — trash. Why aren’t we doing the same on the water?

We say:

Seeing both sides of: 91 percent Echo Heights park The case against

The case for After eight years spent in a vain attempt to get the entirety of Echo Heights preserved as a park, the Chemainus Residents Association has come close to getting what it wants. This plan basically will extend an existing subdivision into an already logged portion of the site and stop there. The bulk of what people want preserved will be preserved. It’s a win for public process.

North Cowichan has again adjusted plans for Echo Heights.

Blockade of the prawn ﬁshery could ruin ﬁshermen Lance Underwood

special to the News Leader Pictorial

am a commercial fisherman from Cowichan Bay. I run a commercial prawn and crab boat, and the local spot prawn fishery is incredibly important to my family

and I. I live in a modest home with my beautiful wife and amazing six-month-old son. I pay our bills, provide food, and pay our mortgage through my income which I earn during our short prawn season. The B.C. spot prawn fishery is certified as a sustainable fishery by the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Marine Stewardship Council, and a first choice in sustainable seafood by Oceanwise. I, along with all of my fellow fishermen, pay well over $500,000 a year for biological sampling and monitoring on a daily basis while our fishery takes place.

We have all paid more than $5,000 out of pocket this year, voluntarily I might add, to install electronic monitoring systems in our vessels that allow the fisheries management (which is an independent contractor, not DFO) to see where our vessels and gear are deployed at all times. The Stz’uminus band, like many other First Nations, have suffered a long and torrid history at the hands of European settlers in this part of the world. I have the utmost respect, which will not change regardless of the outcome of this matter, for First Nations culture as well as their land and harvesting rights. While I am not aware of the entirety of what has caused the “blockade” the band announced last week, the move being made by the Stz’uminus band seems to be being made quite strategically. The “blockade” is scheduled to begin with the opening of the spot prawn fishery. The area in question, which the Stz’uminus

This latest plan for Echo Heights is not a win for the public because it basically waters down what was an ambitious, thoughtful use of land that would have beneﬁtted the entire community to the point where it almost defeats the purpose. It’s status quo, plus a generic subdivision. Chemainus should be disappointed at the lack of vision.

BC VIEWS

are trying to deny access to, is a major area in which spot prawns are harvested during the commercial fishery. Denying access to the fishing ground is not going to help any part in this situation. I spend hundreds of hours maintaining my boat and my fishing gear just so that I can have a successful prawn season every year. To say I depend on the prawn fishery is an understatement. Local seafood companies, truck drivers, welders, machinists, marine repair technicians, refrigeration technicians, shipwrights, and fuel wharfs will be drastically affected by any negative action which may happen. Many forget that the prawn fishery also supports a global economy. While our product is sold locally to seafood markets, restaurants, and directly to the public, many of our prawns also make their way overseas. When it all boils down to it, this is just the

wrong way to deal with any issues that the Stz’uminus may have with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The action that is being proposed just isn’t reasonable. I hope people understand the dire situation many of their friends and neighbours are in right now. Many, including myself, could possibly lose their ability to pay their mortgages and feed their families. I beg any members of the Stz’uminus Band to please let us go fishing. We are just simple fishermen who love the ocean, love our jobs, and want to continue to support our families.

What concerns you about last week’s twin murders at WFP’s Nanaimo sawmill? “I’m concerned someone had the resources to do that. (The shooter) was obviously a questionable character beforehand.”

“I’m concerned there’s less empathy in our world. With today’s technology people are becoming separated from true connections to their fellow man. It’s a social sickness.”

Changes not ﬁxing what’s wrong with Bill C-23

Dear editor Re the Duncan Bill C-23 protest. Here’s what we know so far about the announced changes to Bill C-23: • Vouching will still be allowed in order to prove address. You need to have some form of ID that shows your name to vote, but this means much fewer students, retirees and First Nations will be prevented from voting by the new law. • The fundraising costs loophole will be closed. This measure would have disproportionately benefited the Conservative Party and opened the door for more big-money influence in elections. • Elections Canada will appoint poll supervisors, not local partisans. • Elections Canada will not be muzzled; it can continue to speak freely to the public. As you can see vouching is still an issue and there are still some huge problems. The major questions and concerns: • By removing full vouching, some legitimate voters will be denied their right to vote, for example, if they lose their ID. Experts have said this may be unconstitutional. • Elections Canada is still banned from encouraging people to vote or trying to increase voter turnout. • We don’t know yet if Voter Information Cards will be allowed as proof of ID. Vitally, the bill still does nothing to give Elections Canada the

trains etc to follow. There are no dangerous areas to invade since the pipeline already follows the highway. Also most importantly, Prince Rupert is a great port very accessible to all the huge tankers, not a collision course like the very dangerous location of Kitimat, with rough waters, bad weather and a very narrow, winding passage no matter how you cut it. So please, all you great experts, again I ask why Kitimat and not Prince Rupert? To my lowly understanding, it makes much more sense. David have you already bought up all the available real estate in Kitimat? It’s just gotta be somethin’ like that. Myrtle Sharp Ladysmith

Elections Canada needs to be empowered

Dear editor As we know, there was a concerted and highly organized effort by “someone” in the past election to deter voters from voting through robo-calls misdirecting people to their rightful polling stations. Elections Canada could not compel people who had information about what went on. They simply refused to talk. If Elections Canada had the power to compel testimony from those people we would, by now, know what took place, the extent of the fraud, who was involved, and they would be facing serious charges today. As it stands, we will never know. This isn’t right. Cathie Camley, Duncan

Keep your eyes open and nail the dumpers

Dear editor Re: illegal dumping. Check out North Road just past Duncan Meadows Golf Course on the left side of the road. It’s really disgusting. People dump their garbage, beds, chairs, yard waste, you name it. Now they are dumping that crap a little deeper into the woods. I can’t believe someone is so lazy and so stupid to this. The dump is only a short distance away from there — less then a half-mile. I wish they would get caught. I am sure if someone watched they could catch the lazy buggers! Evelyn Catton

Why must it be Kitimat?

Dear editor I keep reading Kitimat for both David Black’s refinery or raw bitumen. It’s all directed to Kitimat. What I keep wondering is: why Kitimat? It’s in a very precipitous location, with many hurdles to get out to the open ocean. Why the heck not Prince Rupert? It’s a wide-open port. The highway is already in for the pipeline,

Dear editor Re: Jay Siska’s CBC column. If networks were left to sink or fly on the “quality of their content,” most of the networks would have disappeared long ago. This is particularly evident when shows like Big Brother, Honey Boo Boo and the Kardashians keep grabbing the viewers. There is a lot more to CBC than the few television programs Siska mentioned. The CBC provides thought-provoking programming on both television and radio that smart people tend to listen to. Len Langevin

DATELINE: COWICHAN

1965: education

1965: hydro

by Ann Andersen

The BCFP pulp and paper plant at Crofton was BC Hydro’s third largest industrial customer. Hydro said residential population had grown only 5.5% since 1958 with total electrical consumption up 15.1%

1965: sewer

Duncan city council’s budget of $660,880 included $184,326 for education. The previous year’s budget of $626,229 showed expenses of $159,648 for schools.

Over at North Cowichan, several major capital expenditures were awaiting owner-elector approval. These included the Chemainus sewer, $385,000; and the Sherman Road-Mary Street-Gibbins Road sewer project.

ard to believe that golfers once swung their clubs where the Duncan Mall and stores such as Superstore, Save-On Foods and London Drugs now seduce our wallets. “The slogan today could be ‘From Golf to Industry,’” announced Duncan mayor Jack Dobson in May 1965 after Cowichan Indian Band (sic) chief Michael Underwood and he turned the sod to open 55 acres of industrial land south of Trunk Road and east of the E&N. After two years of meetings and negotiation, Cowichan Way opened to provide access to what was hoped would be 50 sites zoned for industry. “This means future prosperity for all residents of the DuncanCowichan district,” Dobson said. Bulldozing had been completed for Cowichan Way and curbing installed at its two entrances on Trunk Road and on the Trans-Canada Highway. The band would issue long-term leases to acceptable applicants, while the city would handle services and assessments and collect tax revenues. First out of the block was Doman Industries president Herb Doman who announced his company’s plans to build a batch plant that would turn out 60 to 70 yards of ready-mix concrete daily at the first four-acre site to be taken up on Cowichan Way.

Place all these nephrons end to end and they will stretch for 80 km. The tech phenomenon in 2013 was the 3D printer.

Research is ongoing to discover what causes this disease which is diagnosed in 3 Canadians every day. Over 100,000 people have MS in Canada. It seems to be a disease of northern climates.

Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaverdell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us us. We weaved our way north along the valley, through wine country, to Penticton. “Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home was not. First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our faces as we descended from Manning Park. I thought I had made a significant anatomical discovery when it appeared that the icy wind blasting up my right nostril seemed to exit through my left ear. Of course, it could have been the hole in the left side of my helmet. There was one other little challenge. The panel failed so I had to peer at my handheld GPS to figure out what speed we were doing then shout at the top of my voice when George exceeded the posted limit. We made it safe and sound. “Next year, Sid?” “I’ll get back to you, George.”

He took careful note of the location so that he might return for his next restoration project. The sun peeped out as we were welcomed by the rugged northern end of the Okanagan Valley. We buzzed along the Lake Country lanes that run alongside Okanagan Lake, between the vineyards.

driveway Acura MDX has all the bells and whistles by Ian Harwood

another vehicle too quickly it will warn you with a flashing “brake” sign on the instrument panel and if the accident is unavoidable it will tighten up the seatbelts and apply the brakes for you to reduce the severity of the impact. Another safety feature is the blind spot information

The 2014 Acura MDX is a perfect example of how technology can change your driving experience. There is no mistaking an Acura, be it a car, cross-over or an SUV, the front end gives it away. The front air dam coming to a point, the large grille featuring the Acura logo and the swept back sweeping lines set it apart. The available 19” aluminum alloy wheels on the MDX fills the wheel well very nicely. When you first open the door of the Acura MDX Elite you immediately notice the refinements and how everything flows together very well. The driver’s seat is an eight-way power adjustable with a two-way way power lumbar support, and the passenger front seat is an eight-way power adjustable. The second row is a 60/40 split folding and the third row is a 50/50 split flat folding. There is an available Collision Mitigation Braking system (CBMS), standard equipment on the Elite, which is constantly monitoring the road for you. If it detects you are approaching

system. This warns when a vehicle is in your blind spot and flashes an amber light on the inside of each side mirror warning you. I like the power folding, body colored side mirrors with intergraded turn signals. Lots of competition in this segment, from Lincoln MKT,

Volvo XC90, Buick Enclave, and the Infiniti JX, so if Acura wants to win you over, they have to keep delivering a great product with as many standard features as they can while keeping the price in check. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

It’s may with an old-time sountrack

UP FRONT

“Hail, bounteous May, that dost inspire mirth, and youth, and warm desire!” That quote should some up what to expect from the Banquo Folk Ensemble (left) set to play Mill Bay Saturday. The veteran act plays early folk music from three continents, stretching right back to the 12th century. The music plays at the Sylvan United Church, 985 Shawnigan Mill Bay Rd, Mill Bay, starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door.

Black Sunday for Crofton Jazz They honed their chops growing up in Victoria and went on to become mainstays of the Vancouver jazz scene. On Sunday, pianist Miles Black and bassist Russ Botten will join Victoria drummer Kelby MacNayr

Longing for what Cowichan offers Take no prisoners: Funnyman James back with a ﬁst full of new material Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

fter more than a decade of Cowichan stops, Ron James has developed an idea of what Cowichan living is like. The long-time funny man’s current lifestyle is the complete opposite and he hopes the two will clash when he makes his eighth stop at the Cowichan Theatre May 11. James, who lives in a condo in fast-paced, frantic downtown Toronto, lusts for a low-profile, slower Cowichan kind of life. And that’s what he plans on doing after he wraps up his fifth and final season of Wild and the coast-to-coast comedy tour he’s currently gearing up for. Funny enough, most of James material for this most recent two-hour skit Cowichanians will get a taste of is based on frustrations with rapid-paced lifestyles. “I think we’re all caught in a whirlwind really,” he said, spouting off images of folks hanging sideways from telephone poles caught in hurricanes. “I think it’s a little slower on Vancouver Island. Everyone is looking for this blissful reverie. From what I have perceived, they’re looking for happiness, their acre of green to sit and watch the river run.” Meanwhile, the T funny

Satisfaction

I was born with a severe hearing loss and have worn hearing aids since I was 5 years old… as president of the CHHA (Canadian Hard of Hearing Association) Port Alberni Branch, people call me at times to recommend a hearing clinic to go to. Even though Port Alberni has two well-run hearing clinics, I suggest they go to Resonance Hearing Clinic in Cobble Hill. All these people phoned to inform me they were thrilled… I believe it’s the way Terence works with these people which allows them to be happy with the purchase of their hearing aids.”

Carter Johnson

Consort lets the voice of youth be heard It is a night for youth to take centre stage. The Cowichan Consort‘s annual Featuring Our Youth Concert will be staged Saturday. Taking the lead will be Carter Johnson, the 17-year-old Campbell River native who was the Consort’s 2014 Concerto winner. “Carter has been recognized internationally as a pianist of great artistic integrity,” show promoters said in a media release, detailing achievements like second prize in the Julia Crane International Piano Competition in New York, second in the CFMTA Young Artists’ Piano Competition in Regina, a gold medal from the Royal Conservatory in Elementary Piano Pedagogy, and more. He will play Schumann’s A Minor Piano Concerto. Cowichan singer-cellist Judith Kabath, meanwhile, will sing four Mahler songs set to Ruckert’s poetry. “These exquisite pieces for soprano are ‘delicate delights’ true to Mahler’s incredible talent in composition.” The Consort Choir will sing opera choruses from Bizet, Verdi, Rossini, and the popular Wedding March by Wagner will be performed. Soprano Alexandra Hill and tenor Ted Rhodes will solo in everpopular Verdis’ Brindisi. The show is set for the Duncan Christian Reformed Church on Trunk Road. Tickets are $15, $10 for children $10 at available at Volume One bookstore, from orchestra and choir members, and at the door. For more, call 748-8982 or 743-7445.

t was a hot finish to April and start to May for Independent Schools Association provincial tennis tournaments hosted by Brentwood College. The seniors were up first last Wednesday. Eight boysâ€™ teams and seven girlsâ€™ teams from the Island and Lower Mainland participated. It was a long and grueling competition for the teams to complete pool play before the top two teams moved on to the crossover event. In the boysâ€™ division, powerful St. Georgeâ€™s of Vancouver emerged on top closely followed by Shawnigan Lake School, West Point Grey and Brentwood College.

Crofton House, another Vancouver team, took top honours in the girlsâ€™ division, with Southridge, Brentwood and Shawnigan rounding out the top four in that order. The Brentwood senior team consisted of Johannah Hixson, Spencer Boddy, Natalie LawrenceRamirez, Ingrid Chiu, Sarah Swanson, Claire Henderson, Nick McLean, Christopher Chan, Sean Murkowski, Santiago GodinGonzalez, Laurenz Schmielau, Victoria Chiew and Chris Petrone. The junior boys and girls were on the courts the following day. There was plenty of quality tennis played among the six girlsâ€™ and five boysâ€™ teams. The top teams were determined after a strenuous round robin competition.

orrey Gareau can still throw with the best of them and the Duncan Fastball Club is glad to have him on its side. Gareau has an extensive fastball background and pitched Duncan to a 4-1 victory in its first game of the season during an Icebreaker tournament at the Wheat Sheaf in Cedar. Gareau tossed a three-hitter and struck out 14. Catcher Brian Banner did all the offensive damage for Duncan with a pair of two-run homers in the first and third innings. â€œA couple of nice bombs,â€™â€™ said team spokesman Joe

DiLalla of Bannerâ€™s contribution. Jake Newman went two-for-two and Dave Devana added Duncanâ€™s other hit. Duncanâ€™s second game of the tournament, later cut short by bad weather the second day, ended in a 2-0 loss to the Victoria Merchants. Gareau pitched the first two innings before Ryan Banner took over in the third. Scott Life pitched a brilliant game for Victoria, fanning 14 hitters. Duncan was limited to three hits, one apiece by Newman, Brad Robinson and Chad Bryden. The Duncan team will be playing four league games on Tuesdays in June at Glenoraâ€™s Waldon Park. The team will also host a tournament there on June 7 and 8.

Lamont provides Bulldogsâ€™ scoring Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

Cowichan Atom Bulldogs put some points on the board in their Greater Victoria Football Association game against Ladysmith. It only took 10 plays for the offence to march the ball into the end

zone. Running back Brock Lamont punched it in for the teamâ€™s first points of the season. â€œEverything was working in the first half,â€™â€™ noted coach Devon Lawrence. Jake Swedja and Ethan Giles showed their blocking ability and linebacker Cyrus Upshaw joined

Luke Larminay for key tackles. Ladysmith eventually pulled ahead in the second half. The Bulldogs gave it everything they had but couldnâ€™t gain traction. Receiver Zack Pearson made his first catch of the season on a pass from Aiden Lawrence for a first down.

Cowichan records a hat trick

Island championships: All three soccer squads entered collect convincing victories

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

ll three Cowichan Valley Soccer Association teams entered in the Island invitational tournament at Port Alberni emerged victorious. The U15 boys’ Gold Grizzlies, coached by Al Longair, knocked off Nanaimo in resounding fashion 5-1. The U14 Cowichan boys’ Gold team handled Powell River 3-1. And the U14 Gold Cowichan Chaos girls’ team made it a clean sweep with a 3-1 triumph over Comox Valley. The U16 Gold Cowichan boys were also eligible to play in the event, but there was no North Island team at their age level. The Grizzlies played the same Harbour City team they’d beaten 1-0 in the last minute of the second overtime to capture Provincial B Cup representation for the region. “They started blindingly fast, stealing the ball from us on an errant pass and driving down for a terrific shot that, fortunately for the Grizzlies, hit the crossbar,’’ noted Longair. That seemed to wake up the Grizzlies and they quickly countered with Miles Boulton scoring the opening goal. Within a few minutes, Boulton struck again. The Grizzlies continued to get stronger as the game went on and Brendan Kerwin and Aiden Haigh added goals to make it 4-0 at halftime.

The backline rotation of Dane Skinner, Luke Armstrong, Colten Smith, Morgan Cook and Brent Brown kept Nanaimo frustrated. Players were moved around in the second half, with the main goal of preventing goals. A defensive stumble gave Harbour City a goal but that was countered by Haigh’s second marker. The U14 boys played their best soccer all year. “All season, Barry Martin (co-coach) and myself

have been working with the boys on keeping the ball and using the entire field and the boys played this style to a T,’’ noted Paul Rukus. Cowichan had the ball most of the game, but gave up a goal in the first 15 minutes. Herman Parmar tied it just before the half. The second half brought the go-ahead goal from Griffin Fougner-Rukus on a header after a welltaken corner kick between Addison Kits and Callum

Branch, who crossed the ball into him. Kits chipped the ball over the goalie and Michael Fusick slotted it home to seal the win. Jace Hilton had a great game in goal, dstributing the ball to teammates. Also contributing to the cause were: Sion Griffiths, Oliver Bontkes, Tyler Leech, Bjorn Erickson, Ryan Coleman, Liam Thibodeau-Perry, Jaden Bhopal and Thomas Wilke. Fougner-Rukus was MVP.

SPorTS WATCH

Train To Compete Team B.C. athletes for U18 girls’ field hockey have been announced. As usual, there’s plenty of Cowichan Valley players on the list. The B.C. Blue team includes Shawnigan Lake School’s Casey Crowley, pictured, with Sara Lowes

who’s also been selected. Members of the B.C. White team from the valley include: Brittany Smith and Lowes. Jenner Court is a reserve and will train with the White team. On the B.C. Yellow team are: Claire Seeliger, Chelsey Cleemoff

and Stefanie Langkammer. Meanwhile, one Cowichan girl from the U15 girls’ Train To Train roster was missed from a previous article. Melanie Robertson is just 12 but found a place among the older girls. Training camp for those girls is this weekend.

Gowanlock fires up T-Birds

All on the line: With Alberni out of the way, Cowichan sets its sights on Vanier for a provincial berth Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

owichan Secondary School’s senior boys’ rugby team took another step toward securing a berth in the provincial championships Thursday. The T-Birds got a late try to beat Alberni 22-17 at Cowichan Secondary School and advanced into a game against Vanier at Nanaimo for a provincial berth. The loser won’t be out of it yet, with a game against the No. 2 South Island team at Brentwood College on May 15 for the last opportunity to qualify. Alberni took the early lead on Cowichan with a try from its Under 19 Canadian player Luke Bradley.

The teams then exchanged tries and Alberni added a late penalty goal for a 17-12 lead at halftime. Brock Gowanlock got the T-Birds all fired up at the break and it worked. They began to control possession and territory and got a try from Mike Hubscher to tie the score. Gowanlock scored what proved to be the game-winner, his third try of the game, from a tap penalty midway through the second half. Alberni missed two attempted penalty kicks after that and knocked on what looked like a certain try, but Cowichan held on for the victory. “Cowichan was fortunate to have reliable replacements to provide muchneeded energy in the extremely hot conditions,’’ noted Cowichan coach Ron Glass.

he Crew hasn’t missed a beat in the Cowichan Women’s Football League despite numerous roster changes. Newcomers like Nicole Pugh and Darcie Zibin have been marvellous in keeping the team as the cream of the crop and Jennie Hittinger’s quarterbacking prowess in the absence of Jackie Harrison, who’s been out with a knee injury, has been nothing short of spectacular. Hittinger and Alita Mattin shared the duties Sunday, as the Crew romped to a 56-0 win over Moo’s Law. Veterans Marilou Sullivan and Janelle Mould continued to supply the spark, Sullivan with two touchdowns, two interceptions and a one-point convert and Mould with an interception for a 20-yard TD. Willie Toews came through with a TD, interception and a one-point convert. On the rookie side, Kerynne Bain produced three TDs and an interception in her first-ever game. Pugh snagged a pass for a TD and Zibin recorded three quarterback sacks. The Ravens won a great battle on the adjacent field, 19-13 over Blue Steel. Ravens had a hard time connecting at first, but quarterback Rikki Wylie kept drives alive with her fast feet for first downs. Lauren James scored the first TD on a short throw and turned on the afterburners 55 yards up the sidelines. Barbara Smith also had a TD. With the score 13-12 in the fourth quarter for Blue Steel, Wylie rushed to the line of scrimmage while the defence was talking strategy and did a quick play to Smith, who ran 60 yards down the field and averted multiple flags to get within 15 yards of the end zone. Wylie, on third down, then scrambled in the backfield with only one yard to a TD and threw a short pass to Dana Thorne, who dove to make the catch for the winning TD on her 35th birthday. Wylie scrambled again and connected with Thorne near the back of the end zone for the one-point convert.

Don Bodger

Super rookie Nicole Pugh shows her versatility in making the transition from soccer star to Crew football player with a great grab against Kimberly Edwards on the Law defence. Thorne also intercepted the ball near the end of the game and James had four sacks. Blue Steel got a TD and a sack from Jess Knowles and Roby Clement produced a TD and a convert. Kirbee Crisp had a great game rushing against the fleet afoot Wylie and managed three sacks while Heidi Padjen added another. The final game of the day brought a 24-6 win for the Sirens over the Storm. Shelly McKay and Jessica Kato-Koch each scored two TDs while Carmen Brown snagged two interceptions, with one leading to a TD. Tara McCaffery contributed an interception and Sabrina DesRochers got into the act with two sacks. The Storm got a big boost when Miranda Mann scored a TD late in the first half. Rookie Katrina Waldron, one of Mann’s field hockey buddies, helped out on defence with a sack in her first game. Joanne Angus picked off a pass and German import Anna Szurowski had a sack to boost the defence. “A good all-around game by Storm,’’ raved coach Chris Mann. “We have just settled into the final team roster with eight rookies and now the work begins to make the Storm function as a solid unit.’’
