Judge set to decide Elliott’s fate today A sheriff escorts double-murderer William Elliott from the Duncan courthouse following closing arguments in his sentencing hearing Thursday. Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
T
he killer of two local women will be sentenced in Duncan court Friday at 2 p.m. Judge Keith Bracken will deliver his decision to William Elliott, 26, who has admitted to the killings of Karrie Ann Stone and Tyeshia Jones. After presenting days of gruesome testimony — including filmed interviews with Elliott — and citing case precedence, and reports about the accused, Crown lawyers Scott Van Alstine and Laura Ford are seeking a full life sentence of 25 years in prison, without parole possibility until that stretch ends. Defense lawyer Scott Sheets also cited case law, recommending a 12- to 15-year sentence.
Elliott, wearing a black shirt, jeans, white running shoes, and leg chains, sat quietly in the prisoner’s box during the sentencing hearing’s closing statements in a packed court room. Sheets explained his client’s plea and subsequent conduct are relevant. Elliott has expressed remorse and apologized to the mothers of the two dead women, Bev Stone, and Mary Jim respectively, both of whom were in court with their families. “He’s admitted his responsibility, and entered a guilty plea,” Sheets said. “It will never be enough. There’s no excuse for his actions, my lord, but there is a partial explanation.” Sheets cited a Gladue Report about Elliott and his Aboriginal background, and how physical, emotional and sexual abuse, and other factors, shaped the man he has become. It would be remarkable, Sheets said, to expect
someone to survive that level of abuse and be unaffected. Abandonment, dumpster-diving to survive, and vacant parental relationships were factors too, he said. “Mr. Elliott was born with an alcohol-related .... disorder. Most of his life he was unloved; his parents didn’t know how to love,” Sheets said of Elliott’s folks who were affected by residential-school abuse. But Ford cautioned Judge Bracken about considering cases, cited by Sheets, that are perhaps outdated. “The law does evolve, and (sentence) range changes,” she said, noting Elliott’s First Nations status “is a mitigating factor but part of a balancing.” Past cases guiding Bracken detail a list of issues, from cruelty, rehabilitation possibility, plus drug and alcohol abuse, to official

analyses, remorse, context, provocation and much more. “Mr. Elliott does not bring good character to the table,” Ford said. Pointing to the Gladue Report, Van Alstine said “He really didn’t understand right from wrong.” It describes Elliott as having two sides of character, being distracted and impulsive, and disconnected from his Native culture. Crown also described how Elliott killed Stone, but didn’t realize the gravity of his crime before killing Jones. Court also received a pre-sentencing report, and a psychological report about Elliott. Defense lawyer Renee Miller noted Elliott could possibly be rehabilitated, given humane circumstances. more on page 6

P
arents worried that a pending teachers’ strike will mean their children will be unable to write their provincial exams can breathe a sigh of relief, following a ruling yesterday by B.C.’s Labour Relations Board. In its order, the LRB said provincial exams for Grades 10 to 12 students will proceed and final grades for Grade 12 students must be compiled and submitted no later than June 20. It ordered school districts to consult their local teachers’ association regarding the number of teachers needed to monitor the provincial exams from June 16 to 24, after using as many of its own management and excluded staff to do so. Joe Rhodes, School District No. 79’s superintendent, said a meeting will be held tonight to determine how many of his staff can be used to meet the order. Tomorrow morning he’ll meet with local teachers’ association representatives to discuss how many teachers, if any, are needed to ensure provincial exams are held. In its order, the LRB said if the parties can’t come to an agreement, it will hear the matter on Monday and make a decision the same day. Today’s order also provides that local teachers’ unions provide unrestricted access to people covered by the order, as well as other essential services. Teachers cannot picket entrances where provincial exams are being held. The British Columbia Public School Employers Association (BCPSEA) expects an essential services order for support staff will be issued later today. The LRB said it would address the remaining issue concerning the submission of marks for Grade 10 and 11 students when it receives a request to do so. This week, B.C. teachers voted in favour of a full walkout to put maximum pressure on the pro$ and $issued a vincial government, 72-hour strike notice on Thursday. If contract talks — which are

Walking the picket line on Wednesday are teachers Margaret Carmichael and Gayle Abbott-Mackie. expected to start again on Friday, according to Cowichan Valley Teachers Association president Naomi Nilsson — are not successful, teachers could legally strike this Tuesday. On Monday they plan to hold a study session, if an agreement isn’t reached during the weekend, and consequently won’t be at school. “I’m anticipating that students will have the day off and be at home on Monday,” Rhodes said. On June 9 and 10, teachers voted 86% in favour of strike action, or 28,809 out of 33,387 ballots cast. Cowichan Valley teachers voted overwhelmingly in favour of a strike, their association’s president said Wednesday, along with their provincial counterparts. “I can’t give you a breakdown on the Cowichan district’s numbers because of BCTF policies,” Nilsson said. “But it was the strongest ‘yes’ vote in CVTA (Cowichan Valley Teachers’ Association) history.” British Columbia Teachers’ Association president Jim Iker said this week’s vote made it clear B.C. teachers care deeply about the state of public education and their ability to meet the needs of all their students. As well, it showed how firmly teachers are committed to doing what’s $ necessary to reach a fair deal. “After 12 years of deep cuts, 3,500 teaching positions lost, and 200 schools closed, we are urging this government to reinvest in public ed-

ucation,” he said. “Teachers are doing their utmost in an underfunded and under-resourced system, but students are not getting the support or one-on-one time they need. Our kids deserve so much more.” Earlier this week, Education Minister Peter Fassbender urged the BCTF’s leadership to come to the table with realistic expectations and a willingness to engage in meaningful bargaining. “Teachers deserve a raise but their total compensation demands are about four times more than other recent settlements,” he said. The government has saved $12 million in salaries in each week of the teachers’ rotating strike, plus nearly $5 million more by cutting wages 10 % based on lockoutrestricted teaching hours. The province has offered a $1,200 signing bonus if teachers accept its proposal of 7.25 % in wage increases over six years by June 30. The BCTF’s latest proposal is for increases totaling 9.75 % over four years, plus cost-of-living adjustments in each year tied to inflation. The two sides have differing estimates of the compounded grand total of the union’s wage demand – the BCTF estimates it at 12.75 % over four years, while BCPSEA pegs it at 14.7 % and says other non-wage compensation costs will further increase the bill, perhaps beyond 19 %. — with a file from Jeff Nagel

His Roving days are over: Station offers an in-depth conversation with Will Millar
SPOTLIGHT Healing through the arts? Millions of Canadians know him as Canada’s leprechaun, the face of the iconic band, the Irish Rovers. Will Millar’s musical warmth and charm have made him familiar to an entire generation of Canadians. But there is a lot more to this man than The Unicorn.
Since leaving the band in 1995, Millar had written three books, produced 10 albums, put down strong roots in Cowichan and dedicated his life to his real passion: painting. Maeve Maguire joined him earlier this spring in his cozy heritage home on Quamichan Lake. They drank tea and ate a slice of his delicious homemade Irish raisin boil cake while
Millar shared stories about touring, how art saved him, and how much he loves his wife. You can read all about it in the summer edition of Station, Cowichan’s premier lifestyles magazine.

Clinton Charlie: helps heal community’s wounds reflected in student play Sisters
Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
S
isters was far too familiar to Clinton Charlie. He suspected the starkly dramatic play, staged by student actors at Duncan’s Mercury Theatre last month, would evoke disturbing stories he’d heard from his parents. They survived policy-fed indoctrination in Canada’s residential schools on Kuper (now Penelakut) Island and in Mission — and their trauma took a latent toll on their families. So he drummed and sang Cowichan’s Paddle Song before the show. It set a mood of friendship toward helping his people heal by reclaiming their culture attacked by Ottawa. “I want to bring back the old teachings,” he said. Charlie “Our people need also wants to hear what our to use proceeds from older people went a T-shirt legacy fund through.” he started (call 250732-8771 for information) to buy and plant fruit trees this summer at Penelakut’s former school site.
Clinton Charlie
He heard from a relative who attended the school that they were often fed rotten food and fruit. “She told me ‘All my late husband wanted was fresh fruit.’” All proceeds from Sisters are also going to that same legacy project, something Sisters director Mike Moroz has wanted to see happen since launching the project last year. But that isn’t the only way Sisters made an impact on Charlie. “It felt so realistic, you could almost feel being in there,” he said after seeing eerie effects a Maritime, nun-run, residential school had on the play’s students and staff. “It was exactly like the sisters I heard about growing up.” That grim legacy led to issues in Charlie’s family life growing up. “We were disciplined the same way they got in residential school,” Charlie said. In turn, Charlie also turned to booze to escape a cruel cycle initially fed by the federal residential-school system — aimed at assimilating First Nations’ culture. “I drank from age 17 to 26; I wasted a lot of years. But Charlie, 38, slowly came to grips with his addiction — shaking it a decade ago, as he watched Native suicide rates climb. “I’m 10 ½ years sober and want to help my community,” the Cowichan Tribes member and UBC
Clinton Charlie says art like the play Sisters can serve as part of the residential school healing process. education co-ordinator said. “It’s all been swept under the carpet for such a long time, but we want to educate people about it. Charlie wants the truth about those schools told through theatre arts, and other means, to complement painful stories related during Canada’s traveling Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings. “Lots of people won’t talk about it, but our people need to hear what our older people went through; it’s our history.” But it’s a past his parents —
especially his father — wish to forget. Charlie doubted his dad would have watched Sisters. Many of his relatives also declined to attend the TRC hearings. “This (social trauma) affects us on a daily basis. Ninety percent of my family members didn’t even want to go to it (TRC); it’s a part of our history they don’t want to relive,” he said. And mere money won’t erase bitter memories, he explained. “We have to start focusing on our education, language and culture, and instill our pride again.
Peter W. Rusland
It’s about healing, and working as one.” Moroz and his cast have been invited to perform their play at the closing Truth and Reconciliation Conference in Ottawa in June 2015. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has also invited his Neighbourhood Players to stage Sisters in Kamloops in August, at the union’s annual summer conference, and in schools in Vancouver and Edmonton. Answers were pending funding and cast availability.
Review: Sisters makes a powerful statement
L
ike bygone residential schools themselves, Neighbourhood Players’ gripping drama, Sisters, starkly displayed the lingering personal trauma of Canada’s brutal educational system that still haunts thousands of former First Nations students. Director Mike Moroz’s five student actors, from Cowichan and Victoria, did a disturbingly authentic job portraying the aftermath of those wicked schools during the play’s Duncan debut in May at the Mercury Theatre. Viewers expecting grim tales of Native children being whipped by sadistic nuns can forget that idea. Instead, Wendy Lill’s script focused on reasons well-meaning nuns naively followed a regimented curriculum aimed at assimilating Aboriginal pupils — and how those
policies plagued some teachers who traded human compassion for convent commitment. It must be stressed nuns — such as central character Sister Mary (Kari Cowan) — at the school set in the Maritimes, truly believed they were serving God by educating “Indian” students. But while Mary evolved into a stern task-master, from a freckleface farm girl (Isabella Goodman), Mother Agnes (Caitlin Doherty) softened her rigid stance evoked in act one. “It’s our duty,” Agnes initially growled at young Mary’s reasoned questions. Caught in the cross-fire of Christian values and classroom demands was Sister Gabrielle (Abby Hodges), a rule-breaking, tulip-planting nun longing for love songs and sunny days.
The play’s only reprieve from emotionally raw dialogue — as black and white as the nuns’ habits — was conversation between mature, troubled Mary, and Crown lawyer Stein (Elias Whitfield), who seeks answers about why Mary torched her former school. He comes to understand, as Mary deals with demon voices from her tortured past — perfectly summoned in flashbacks to her pre-nun days with beau Louis (Harrison Kettlys). An eerie mix of kids’ singing and ‘60s jazz added to Mary’s torment from following orders, not common sense and decency. Lighting from spartan spotlights lent a barren mood to this play that’s urgent viewing for everyone — except perhaps the folks who somehow survived the notorious residential schools built by our unfeeling federal

Put your commitment where your mouth is June 17: Cowichan asked to commit to 24 hours of eating nothing but local Kathy Santini

lobal warming. Oil spills. Carbon footprints. The world’s problems seem overwhelming if you spend any time dwelling on them. They seem so vast, so insolvable, that many of us just resign ourselves to a dismal future. It doesn’t have to be that way. Some local committed citizens - Transition Cowichan, Cittaslow Cowichan Bay and Cowichan Green Community - are doing just that, in hosting the third-annual Cowichan Valley Eat Local Challenge on June 17. Locals are being encouraged to commit to eating only local, Vancouver Island-grown, raised or fished food for those 24 hours. Those interested in sharing their local dinner that evening with other, like-minded people are invited to a potluck dinner. For those worried about not being able to have their daily cup or daily cups of Joe, not to worry, one exception to the rule is allowed. “Many of us have read the 100 Mile Diet and Animal, Vegetable and Miracle, by Barbara Kingsolver, those two books somewhat
inspired this movement,” said Jane Kilthei, a founding member of Transition Cowichan. Cowichan Valley residents are being asked to see for themselves how local food can be cheaper, more varied, tastier and healthier than the shipped food you often find in grocery stores. The idea is to experience the wide variety of tasty, healthy food that can be sourced locally without the carbon footprint associated with shipped-in produce, to support local producers, and to think about how we can increase food security on Vancouver Island. “Eating local, not shipped food, and changing our land use practices makes a huge difference if many of us do it,” said Kilthei. She added that if we think globally, there are hidden costs to what we’ll pay in the long run for the way we are eating now. The soil loss from industrial farming, not to mention the transportation footprint is huge. “We’re using that day to raise awareness about how people can do something without pain and really enjoy it,” Kilthei said. “We’re doing our small part locally to chip away at a global problem.” In addition to raising awareness among locals about the wealth of produce and food raised on Vancouver Island, the groups also hope that grocers will take note. “With more and more people asking about where their food is coming from, we’re hoping that

grocers will realize that there’s a local demand and that people really care about where they get their food.” And beyond raising awareness, the day supports one of an area’s most valued resources, its local farmers. “It’s so important to support farming, because farmers often don’t make a lot of money,” she said. “They often do it because they love it, they could make a lot more money doing something else; that’s why it’s important to support them.” With California’s recent droughts, Kilthei said we can’t continue to think California will keep feeding us. Luckily, Duncan is blessed in that it has a Saturday market, lots of farm gate sales, shops and restaurants that feature local fare, not to mention individual homeowner’s gardens. “By taking this step, we’re doing our part locally in working on the big problems in the world,” Kilthei said. Bill Jones, chef, author and local wild food expert will speak at the event. There is no cost to attend, but donations are welcome.

Gravel plan crushed at the starting blocks? Balme Ayr Farm: CVRD recommends rejection without public hearing, legal opinion sought John McKinley
News Leader Pictorial
T
he Cowichan Valley Regional District has already decided any type of gravel processing operation on a Cobble Hill dairy farm is a bad idea. Why waste anyone’s time dragging people through a public process? That seemed to be the rationale behind a recommendation Tuesday to deny Balme Ayr Farm’s proposal to process gravel on the site of its already-approved gravel extraction operation on the Cowichan Bay border, just northeast of Valleyview Centre. “My area does not support it,” Cowichan Bay Director Lori Iannidinardo said. “This is not about farmer versus farmer, it’s about land use. “A gravel pit is just a gravel pit.” Balme Ayr is seeking a temporary use permit to screen, wash and classify the gravel taken from its property onsite, pledging the operation would be hidden, have
low impact on the neighbourhood and be governed by strict criteria. The applicants also suggested an onsite processing operation would mean fewer gravel trucks on area roads. But members of the CVRD’s electoral area services committee voted 6-2 in favour of immediate rejection, citing the known impact gravel processing operations can have, and the potential for noise and dust damaging the quiet character of the neighbourhood. “I don’t see a good ending to this with the residential community,” Cowichan Station Director Loren Duncan said. Mill Bay Director Mike Walker and Cobble Hill Director Gerry Giles were the dissenting votes. “To deny an application before you’ve even undertaken a process is to deny natural justice from occurring,” Giles said. “To vote for this resolution is premature and does not give the applicant an opportunity to be heard fairly.” CVRD staff had concerns Giles may be right. At Wednesday’s full board meeting, directors decided
to defer a vote on the recommendation pending legal advice. “I believe it prudent and in the best interest of the organization,” CVRD Chairman Rob Hutchins said. Despite earlier CVRD opposition, Balme Ayr already has permission from the Agricultural Land Commission to extract the gravel and is in the process of obtaining permission from the Ministry of Mines. Owners Oliver and Shelley Balme have a nine-phase plan to pull 3.2-million cubic metres of gravel out of an unfarmable section of their property over a 15-year period, and replace it with soil suitable for growing cattle feed. They are upset by the blanket rejection and the fact few of those voting against the proposal had taken them up on an invitation to come out to the site. “The people of the Cowichan Valley need to know the facts even if they are not in favour of our proposal. Gravel has to come from somewhere.”

Elliott pled guilty in July from page 1
Last July, Elliott pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder: one in the July 2010 killing of Stone, 42; the other in the January 2011 death of Jones, 18. He told undercover police officers he had taken Stone to his home for sex. He said when she threatened to tell his wife, he bashed her over the head with a baseball bat, took her to a remote area of Glenora, and burned her while she was still alive. The court heard a denture plate found near Stone’s body matched another that was in Elliott’s possession, and how her DNA matched that found on Elliott’s bat and in a stain on a wall of his house. The court also heard how Elliott accidentally hit Jones with his truck while she was going to meet a friend at Duncan’s Superstore. Elliott put Jones in the back of his pickup, then drove behind the Shaker cemetery, along a dirt track leading to the woods. He took her clothes off and choked her with her own bra. He hit her on the head, her teeth and her eyes with a stick and left her there. Then he took her clothes and burned them.

dditional witness testimony and large volumes of documentary and expert evidence have forced an extension the Shawnigan Lake contaminiated soil dump appeal. Proceedings before B.C.’s Environmental Appeal Board have been extended until late July, “The evidentiary portion of the hearing concluded June 6, and parties will now draft and file written submissions, then present oral
arguments on July 24 and 25,” a release by the Shawnigan Residents Association reads. Residents and Cowichan regional directors are appealing a 50-year provincial permit for valley firm SIA to treat five-million tonnes of fuel-contaminated soil in a quarry pit off Stebbings Road. Cowichanians fear those pollutants will eventually leak from SIA’s pit and foul the lake and its aquifers The SRA, Cowichan Valley Regional District, and citizens John Hayes and Rick Sanders, initiated proceedings against South Island
Aggregates, also known as Cobble Hill Holdings. “In support of the SRA’s Legal Action Fund, the community has raised more than $200,000 for the legal battle to stop the SIA’s contaminated-soil dump,” the group states. “As the hearing dates are extended, the costs continue to rise, and we are now looking at costs that will exceed $250,000.” The CVRD also awaits a Supreme Court ruling about if B.C.’s environment ministry broke Cowichan region’s zoning bylaws in granting SIA’s permit.

For as long as Alexandra Straub recalls, I’ve been writing about cars for over 25 years and I’m a long-term member of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). My auto background is mainly in the service side of the industry as I’ve always had a keen interest in knowing how things work. Especially those oily, greasy parts that make the wheels go around. My first car was an early sixties Triumph Herald Coupe (web example photo) that was traded-in to a dealership where I worked as an apprentice auto mechanic, back in Dublin, Ireland. It spent more time off the road, being repaired, than on the road, during my time as its owner. A Herald had the same chassis and a similar powertrain as the much nicer looking Triumph Spitfire, which was sold in North America. At the BC Automobile Association I initially worked as a mobile Vehicle Inspector in the Vehicle Inspection Service. The vehicle was an AMC Gremlin and it was painted to look like a cut-away or skeleton view of the car’s mechanical bits. A small car with a big gas-guzzling engine, a Gremlin was an odd choice of vehicle for that job and the paint job just added to its weirdness, yet I grew to like it. Currently I enjoy serving on the AJAC Technology Awards panel and have also been involved in the promotion of trade skills training for young people in BC. When time permits, I still like to get my hands dirty and give my son a helping hand with, his pride and joy, a 1966 Ford Thunderbird coupe. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Avoid the angst let the gravel proposal die
Balme Ayr: If community doesn’t want it, why push?
T
his week’s back-and-forth debate on the Balme Ayr gravel proposal is a perfect illustration of why nothing in politics is ever easy. Right up front it must be said that, in and of itself, the Balme’s proposal is built on a lot of common sense and probably wouldn’t be nearly the nuisance many fear. Any proposal that will ultimately reclaim unfarmable land for farming has merit. We aren’t surprised the Agricultural Land Commission gave the proposal its blessing. But its gravel processing plan is not about farming. It’s about land use, Forging ahead plain and simple. And by the standards governing with the proland use — bylaws, official community plans, and public feedback — gravel cess would be processing in that particular neigha farce bourhood is not welcome. Gerry Giles isn’t wrong when she says the Balmes deserve a chance to present their proposal. Everyone deserves a fair hearing. The thing is, many in the community have already heard all they need to hear: “gravel pit.” And with that, people have made up their minds. We’d bet good money no amount of talking is going to change this reality even one iota. Remember the ECO Depot? Common sense would dictate everyone involved could save themselves a lot of time, money and ill-feeling if the decision-makers said “thanks, but no thanks” right up front. But no. The legal card has been played and the risk managers are scurrying to find cover. We thought the CVRD ultimately had the say on questions of this nature. Surely, that can stand up in court? Even if doesn’t, the CVRD has decided. Pushing ahead now would be a disservice to everyone involved. Worse, it would be a farce.
We say:

Future planning needs to focus on downtown Paul Fletcher
News Leader Pictorial
I
have lived and worked in downtown Duncan on and off for nearly 25 years now. The years here have taught me there is no better place to come home to after my travels. It has always bothered me that, despite an accelerating beautification program, there still persists a commercial vacancy rate issue downtown. It is a serious ongoing concern for businesses living on the edge, and landlords wondering how long their tenants will last. Granted, there are a number of solid downtown businesses, some of which have been here for longer than I have, but many are still very new and struggling. I can’t keep count of how many businesses have failed over the years. A business failure is never gentle. Both the landlord and tenant often lose. Many a substantial investment, sometimes a life savings, has been lost. It appears there just isn’t enough customers
to keep most downtown businesses afloat. That’s hard to believe when there are more than 80,000 people in the area and local mall parking lots are full at most times. Part of the problem is the malls are not within the city boundaries making them competitors with downtown. If they were part of the city’s business community, then the opportunity for keeping the core alive, and thriving, would be more attainable. The recently completed University Village planning process is recommending sweeping changes to how the urban area of North Cowichan and Duncan will look in the future. The message is on the wall: commercial development is being significantly promoted outside of the city core. It is because of the new age way of planning, where businesses are on the ground floor of higher density residential buildings. How, I ask, can downtown continue to grow and thrive when both local governments are promoting the increase of commercial con-
It’s great to support your home community. But that stops being relevant when your home community cannot support you. Selection matters. Price matters. Availability matters. And as long as locally produced food can’t compete in those crucial categories, the local diet will remain nothing more than a nice idea.

struction and occupancy outside of the downtown core? Unfortunately, the final approval of the planning document is scheduled to happen this summer when many of us are away on vacation and not interested in a planning document. The solution I propose, is a bigger city — a city that includes all of the urban area up to North Cowichan’s urban containment boundary and a plan that identifies the city downtown as the central place to do business, find professional services and enjoy community events. It would not be a complicated process to achieve. It could begin with North Cowichan and the City of Duncan agreeing to co-manage a larger city. The legal agreements can come later, perhaps even “amalgamation.” Next step would be an imaginative economic development plan to make downtown the Cowichan Valley hub of commercial activity, and a great place to live for people seeking a
smaller lifestyle with the ability to leave the car at home or not even own one at all. We could then house North Cowichan’s and Duncan’s services under one roof, perhaps in a new civic building occupying the long-vacant corner of Canada and Trunk Avenues. This would provide civic services to all city residents, a great improvement considering North Cowichan’s municipal offices are miles away and not served by transit. Then the old Duncan city hall could become part of a renewed city square, providing space for a badly needed public art gallery; perhaps even a small theatre space and washrooms open for downtown patrons. Paul Fletcher is former Duncan city councillor who writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial.

“Tipping is nice because staff share tips, and some make lots of money in tips. Higher wages, and benefits, are also good, but staff might not make as much money without tips.”

Just who are we doing this development for?
they have — deserve. Noah Mellemstrand,
Grade 8, Cowichan Secondary School,
Dear editor I would love for there to be enough of an economy in Cowichan so that I (and most people my age who are sick of treading water or sinking) wouldn’t have to go to Alberta to pay the bills at home. Development tends to work really well for the developers, but doesn’t tend to have a lot of long-term benefits for anyone else unless what’s being developed are buildings that will need employees. Jeremy Friesen
CBC just trying to protect its ivory tower
Dear editor The CBC is purely left of centre. It always has been — and at over a billion dollars a year sucked down a black hole creating little of value. It plays by its own rules to outbid and outspend other media outlets on my dime. If you can’t pay your own way, then good riddance. The CBC is trying to protect its ivory tower of waste and won’t even come clean on the bloated salaries and budgets. Mark Sherman

Rail should be based on the European model
Dear editor If someone actually looked at how European cities have their rail system setup, Vancouver Island would be an ideal candidate for that exact type of system. Not only would that make sense from an environmental standpoint ( electric trains) it would also make the island a major tourist destination and generate revenue. Just imagine fly to Victoria, then take high-speed rail to ski resorts, golfing, hiking, climbing, scuba diving, among many other things. From the commuter perspective it opens the corridor for the entire island for business, reduces freight costs, and is less expensive than always trying to find a solution to fix the Malahat Drive.

Dear editor Too many critics don’t understand the importance of a Canadian identity, something that the CBC, and CBC Radio in particular, contributes to in a major way. I hear these critics babble on about the “left-wing bias” of the CBC, but have yet to see the real evidence of this. Besides, if you really feel the news isn’t being accurately reported, at least with the CBC you have the option of filing a complaint to an independent overseer. No, it’s really an attempt to turn us even more into another state of the union. Dave McCormick

Student jobs hard to come by in recession
Dateline 1981: Can’t afford to work, or not to work Ann Andersen
News Leader Pictorial
T
he early 1980s inflation recession seesaw was horrible: its effect was profound as forest industry workers worried about their jobs as the first mills closed. Lay-offs eventually led to massive unemployment; and owners of retail businesses, like grocery stores, bakeries and clothing stores tightened their belts for the expected slowdown. In June 1981, the consequences were disheartening for students searching for summer jobs. Positions are going begging in Cowichan, but students won’t touch them, wrote the Leader. Inflation had hit students as hard as it had other sectors of society, and the offered jobs simply didn’t pay enough. “(It’s) impossible for education-oriented youth to continue university and college studies with money earned from minimum wage jobs,” said Irene Champagne, student placement officer at the Duncan Canada Employment Centre. Most students who did were going into debt – and they were doing that only if they qualified for student loans, she explained. She cited other contributing factors: labour unrest, cutbacks on provincial student funding, course cuts at colleges, individual student attitudes and reluctance by employers to increase wages for older, work-experienced students.

What is new in hearing aid technology?
Hearing impaired individuals have a wide array of choices and options available to them. These include the following features: hearing aids that are directional and provide better performance in groups and noisy places, and Bluetooth compatibility to connect with other audio devices including televisions and telephones. In addition, one leading manufacturer has produced optional programming to assist those suffering from tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Leslie will work with you to select the most appropriate options for your lifestyle and hearing issues.
Where do I start?
The first step is a complete hearing assessment. From there Leslie will explain the results of the testing with you and make recommendations based on these results. This may include a referral to your primary care physician, future testing or a trial with hearing instruments.

When is the right time to get started?
If you suspect you have a hearing impairment, or if friends and family have commented on your hearing ability, the time to get started is now. It is ideal to detect and address a hearing impairment early, to remain engaged and enjoying the things you love to do. In addition, individuals who begin the process earlier, often find it easier to adjust to amplification.

Why should I improve my hearing?
We now know there are many other side effects of hearing loss including impact on career, frustration, feelings of isolation, withdrawal from social activities and anxiety. Addressing and treating hearing loss has been shown to have a positive impact on well-being, both physically and emotionally. There is no better time to ACT!

Investing In Our Community Past Youth for Community participants will have a new opportunity to build their skills this summer, thanks to a generous donation made by CUPE local 358. North Cowichan Youth Outreach is excited to help youth take their next steps toward employment. Youth Outreach will offer past participants of the Youth for Community program the chance to take part in a new level of employment training. Workshops will include WHIMIS, First Aid, FoodSafe, and Cashier training. This opportunity will provide youth with valid certifications and real assets that will build their resumes.
“Although sadly, we are not able to offer the Youth for Community program to Crofton and Chemainus this summer, CUPE’s donation will ensure we can still support the youth. The $2,000 donation will provide employment training to many youth who might not have the means to access it on their own. We are so grateful for the support,” said Laura Chappell, Youth Outreach Programmer for North Cowichan. The employment training will occur over July and August and is open to any youth who has participated in the Youth for Community program in the past three years. If you would like more information please call 250-246-4217 or email youthoutreach@ northcowichan.ca

Session to help parents cope with the terrible twos and beyond
Free parenting workshop: counsellor offers free Duncan parenting workshop on June 16
file
Parenting has its challenges, but help is available.
Kathy Santini
News Leader Pictorial
T
hey say it’s the toughest, the most difficult and the most rewarding job in the world. While Bette Davis was famous for saying that, “Aging ain’t for sissies,” she might as well have been talking about parenting. As parent and non-parent alike knows, it’s not for the faint of heart. Once parents have survived the terrible twos, they’re faced with a tempermental ‘tween, and a few years later, a testosterone-filled young man who thinks mom and dad are the village idiots. For parents facing any of these scenarios, the good news is that help is just a workshop away. On Monday, June 16, the New Life Community Baptist Church will host a free parenting workshop, led by Dr. Frank Groenewold, a counsellor with 30 years counselling experience. The former school principal has worked with a wide range of children and teens, including young offenders. While semi-retired, he still maintains a part-time counselling practice and is working with residential school survivors. “Unfortunately, children don’t come with instruction manuals, it’s tough for parents who don’t have any family support or anyone to bounce ideas off of,” said Marita Rosenlind, pastoral assistant and care team co-ordinator for the New Life Community Baptist Church. ”You may be blessed as a parent and have really good children and only have a few problems, but for other parents, the challenges can be overwhelming and leave you with a really lonely feeling.” Rosenlind said that the church wanted to provide some tools because it recognized the unique challenges parents face in today’s stressful, fast-paced environment. “Often parents feel alone with few back-up resources to use as a sounding board. We believe the workshop will offer tools to help parents strengthen and deepen their relationships with their children for life.” For Groenewold, at its core, a strong parent-child relationship is all about developing a strong sense of self, in both parent and child. “You can’t create a strong relationship with others if you don’t have a strong sense of self,” he said. Like generations before them, today’s children and youth are dealing with alcohol and drug issues. But unlike generations before them, today’s children also have to contend with ever-advancing technological changes including social media. “There’s lots of anger out there; lots of cyber-bullying going on,” Groenewold said. A byproduct of being inundated with a 24-hour news cycle is increased stress, in both children and adults. “The world seems to be out of control and this has a domino effect, it impacts kids,” he added. In the June 16 workshop, which runs from 7 to 9 p.m., a variety of topics will be covered, including the fundamentals of communication, what impedes communication, and nine ways to talk to kids. “We know every parent wants their child to reach their maximum potential,” Rosenlind said. “We hope to help parents learn to avoid the common parenting mistakes that cause or worsen their childrens’ behaviour.” The workshop includes time for questions and answers and also a list of resources. While the workshop is free, seating is limited.

Cowichan area residents asked to tie a yellow ribbon on a pet-safe community

ou could earn up to $2,000 if you have a good idea that improves the health and well-being of residents in the Cowichan Valley. The non-profit, Our Cowichan Communities Health Network (OCCHN) has grants of up to $2,000 available to fund projects that will make a positive impact to the future of regional communities. And they’re open to all kinds of good ideas.
“We look to the community to lead,” said network regional facilitator Cindy Lise. “We want them to show us what they can do to fill the gaps they see in programs and services.” “This isn’t just based on medical services,” Lise explained. “It’s all those pieces together that makes us well.” Those pieces include income and social status, support networks, education and literacy, employment and more. In 2013, the network funded 13 projects,
covering everything from a free drop-in play centre for small children to a brain fitness program for seniors to a community barbecue. The deadline for applications is Oct. 1. Funding will be awarded by mid-October and projects must be launched within a year. Proposals are limited to a single typed page. More information at cchn.ca or by contacting Cindy Lise at 250 7485866 or cindylisecchn@ shaw.ca —Kathy Santini

A dog uses its nose to sniff out warning signs in its environment. You can look for a yellow ribbon on a leash to warn you whether or not a dog needs space. “More and more people are finding out and the more the community gets behind sharing this vital information, the better. “This is a fantastic way to help adults and children to learn which dogs are safe to approach and which aren’t, without confusion.” Lane and the crew at PAWS & Claws are providing yellow ribbons to dog owners for free as part of a national project. “There are so many reasons and scenarios that warrant a dog sporting a yellow ribbon,” Lane explained. “Perhaps the pooch is a rescue and has little
or no social manners so he’s in training. A dog may be recovering from a health issue and is not at her perky, friendly best. “Sometimes guide dogs in training should not be engaged,” he said. Pet owners shouldn’t feel embarrassed by a yellow ribbon, quite the opposite, says Lane. “I personally think that people should get on board for the obvious safety value,” he said. “When it comes to companion pets, dogs in particular, things can happen so quickly. Because there are a variety of reasons for a pooch to need extra space and because actions and reac-
tions can escalate rapidly it just makes sense to have a universal way to communicate. “A communication that instantly informs one and all that this dog needs and/or does better with more space. That instant communication can save our pets, our children and ourselves a lot of stress (and worse) that can be easily and simply avoided.” Cowichan SPCA is aware and also supportive of the Yellow Dog Project, Lane said. “We’re printing and posting posters and of course anyone can pop by Paws & Claws for a free ribbon,” he said.
Capsule Comments
H
ow’s your sunscreen supply? The shelf life for standard sunscreen products is three years but if it has been exposed to high heat during last summer, it may not be up to potency. It’s good to replace it with some fresh product. Choose one with an SPF of at least 30 and labelled broad spectrum to protect against both UVA and UVB rays. One of the best anti-aging things you can do for your skin is not to overexpose it to sunlight especially during the middle hours of hot summer days. Use sunscreen lotion and clothing to protect your skin from the aging effects of sunlight. Those with lung conditions like asthma often use inhalers to help open the airways. These devices work well but only if the medication gets deep into the lungs. So proper technique is important. Metered-dose inhalers must be shaken well then breathed in slowly and deeply when the inhaler is pressed. Breathing in continuously minimizes the amount of medication that hits the back of the throat. The other type of inhaler is the dry powder inhaler where the force of the patient’s breath moves the medication into the lungs. This type of inhaler comes as single-use or multi-use types. Remember, proper use of these inhalers is important otherwise the medication will not work efficiently.

Dog Project. But it’s out there. Keep your eyes open on the Cowichan trail for a dog owner sporting a yellow ribbon attached to her dog’s leash. That yellow ribbon signals many scenarios but most important one is this: the dog attached to the leash with the ribbon needs space. “It’s not uncommon for dogs to be reactive and have fear issues of various kinds. There are other situations, too, but the bottom line is if children and adults are taught to look for a yellow ribbon, they can avoid potential stress or worse,” said Mike Lane of Duncan’s PAWS & Claws pet store That’s why this project has his enthusiastic backing. “The goal is for everyone, pet and nonpet owner alike, to be aware of the message a yellow ribbon on a leash provides,” Lane said.

A rare Ford Mustang T5 ready to make its public bow

The restoration story of Laura Ballance’s Mustang T5 has been an interesting to follow and one that is not typical of this kind of project. Before I get carried away telling you what a T5 actually is, I have to report that with the help of the team at 360 Fabrication, suppliers White and Peters, BASF paint and the 200 plus hours of paint preparation, application, wet sanding and polishing by master painter Darren Emmerson, the car is finished! And here is the best part, it’s on time and under budget, almost unheard of in days gone by let alone today. So what is so special about a T5 Mustang? – The Ford Mustang could not be sold in Germany as a Mustang because a truck manufacturer there and later a motorcycle manufacturer owned the trademarked name Mustang. Both manufacturers offered to sell the rights to Ford for $10,000 each but Ford declined and decided the solution would be to use the initial Mustang project name T5 as the solution. With all of the changes required, they should have probably paid the $10,000. With there being
so many U.S. armed forces bases in Germany, export models were highly sought after. Laura had no idea how rare her car was until she decided to embark on this project and began doing her research. The T5 registry has informed Laura that of the 453 Mustang Hardtop T5s built in 1967, hers is one of the few examples ordered with a vinyl roof, which is listed as an option in the V.I.N tag. There are only two T5s known to exist in Canada, hers and one in Ontario and only 45 have survived in various states of condition worldwide. It is going to be a busy summer for Laura, her two daughters and the Mustang. I suspect her father, never in his wildest dreams would have thought the car would end up as a show car let alone become a family affair involving three generations of his family. The T5 will debut at the Vancouver Classic Car Show and Auction at the PNE on June 21 and 22. A picture of it at it’s gleaming best in
next week’s Driveway preview of that show. Then it will head south in July to the Mustang Roundup in Bellevue, Washington, the world’s largest Mustang meet. The car is entered in the Concours restoration class and should place well. Because this is the 50th anniversary of the Mustang the invitations are pouring in, the most recent one from an event in North Carolina, Laura still has a day job so unfortunately will miss that one. She will finish the summer off at the Luxury SuperCar weekend at VanDusen Gardens in September. The car will be viewed at least 30 or 31 times in a month, gracing the walls of garages and repair shops all over North America featured in a 2015 Ford calendar. This concludes a restoration project with a happy conclusion.

Paint and metal mix during June at Imagine That!

ON STAGE
The Imagine nation is running wild on canvas and steel this month. Duncan’s downtown artists’ co-op Imagine That! features paintings and prints by Michael Dean and metal sculptor by Dan Iocchelli throughout June. Dean has been drawing and painting Vancouver Island & British Columbia coastal
Dreaming big
scenes for more than 30 years. His main interests have been working coastal vessels, historical coastal scenes and, most recently, the forest and beach scenes of Vancouver Island. Meanwhile, Iocchelli finds his inspiration for his pieces from certain shapes in the scrap metal he finds or the pieces of wood he finds
from walks on the beach or hikes through the forest. He creates anything from bugs, dragonflies, fish and spiders to tables, mirrors and chairs all done in his own way to make people laugh and smile and wonder. The show runs until June 29 at Imagine That!, 251 Craig St.

Chemainus Theatre has been trying to stage Les Miserables since 1998.
Les Mis: Chemainus Theatre stages world’s longest-running musical Kathy Santini
News Leader Pictorial
I
Dreamed a Dream is the most recognizable song from Les Miserables, the world’s longestrunning musical. The Chemainus theatre knows all about dreams. It dreamed of bringing the musical, the most popular musical ever, to Vancouver Island, so people in this region could enjoy a bit of its magic. Dreams do come true, as the play starts its three-month run on June 20. Randall Huber, the theatre’s managing director, said the theatre company has been wanting to show the play for years. “It’s been at the top of our short list for some time,” he said. “The show’s not on yet and we feel triumphant just to get it,” he said. Apparently patience and persistence pay off. In 1998, the theatre’s artist director at the time, Jeremy Tow, started the process of trying to get Les Mis to Vancouver Island. The show’s rights are owned by the U.K’s Cameron Mackintosh who restricts access. After all, who wants Les Mis playing at every local theatre in the region? Dumb question maybe, given that more than 65 million people have attended the show. “Decisions are based regionally, they don’t want Les Mis playing at every theatre around,” Huber said. Since 1998, when Tow first thought about applying for the show, the play’s played on Broadway and was made into a movie, starring Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Russell Crowe. Provincially, the show has only been
licensed in B.C. at one other time; it ran at the Arts Club in Vancouver last year and this year both Kamloops and Chemainus are having a run. Huber said the intricate musical is a huge investment financially and in terms of the people needed to pull it off. Fourteen per cent of the box office goes to Mackintosh, who holds the license. Huber said the show fits the local theatre’s mandate to a T: “the Chemainus Theatre Festival Society... exists to serve Vancouver Island and its visitors by creating exceptional theatre that explores and nourishes truth, hope, redemption, love and the human spirit.” And not that different from how Mackintosh’s website describes Les Miserables: an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption — a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. “It’s the show that this theatre was created to do,” Huber said. For those who haven’t seen the show, Les Miserables takes place during the Paris Uprising of 1832, when the downtrodden Jean Valjean clings to what little hope remains in his life of bad luck and poor choices. Though given the chance to be an, “honest man,” Valjean is discovered eight years later, having broken parole and living under the assume identify of Monsieur Madeleine, a wealthy factory owner and mayor of Montreuil-surMer. His criminal past comes back to haunt him as his nemesis, police inspector Javert relentlessly tracks him down to seek justice. “Les Mis has such power and majesty,
it’s such a beautiful story and it’s so beautifully written,” the managing director said. “It’s hard not to become engaged emotionally.” Sad to say, Jeremy Tow isn’t here to see his dream come true, he passed away in 2010. But the next generation will, as his son Sebastian Tow is playing the character Gavroche in the play.

Steven David Julson Died suddenly on May 30, 2014. Steven is survived by his loving mother Monica Collins, father Ron Ross, adoring sister Lesley Collins, beautiful son Ty Gooding (mom Teale) and numerous extended family. Steven experienced lifelong struggle and he never gave up showing courage in always trying again. Steven was always loved and supported by his mom, sister, and many close friends who were there through his many struggles. He was also described as a true and loyal friend to them all. He maintained his great wit and wonderful sense of humour in spite of his many difďŹ cult times. During the last month of his life Steven experienced much hope, joy, and peace and was grateful to be able to spend time with his sweet son (who he dubbed “mini meâ€?). A funeral Mass will be held at 2pm at St. Francis Xavier Church in Mill Bay on Saturday, June 14th, burial and reception following. In lieu of owers, a trust fund in Steven’s name is being set up for Ty Gooding, his son. Please contact Monica Collins. Steven was beloved by family, cherished by friends. PARMAR, Joginder Singh December 10, 1928 – June 7, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear beloved father, The Sadar Joginder Singh Parmar, son of the late Bakshish Singh and the late Chatter Kaur of village Kamam, Punjab, India. He was predeceased by his loving wife Parkash Kaur (1974), his sister Naranjan Kaur Jinjuha (late Darshan Singh) and his brother Gurmit Singh (late Davinder Kaur). He is survived by his brothers Dilbagh Singh (Harjit Kaur) and Gurbax Singh (Ranjit Kaur). Left behind to honor his memory and carrying his blessings are his sons Nirmal Singh (Daljit Kaur), Hardeep Singh (Rajwinder Kaur) and his grandchildren Shaun, Jason, Rajin, Bonita and Amandeep and many caring nephews and nieces. Our father brought his family to Canada in 1961 and settled in Paldi. He worked in the lumber industry with Mayo Lumber Company and Domans. He was a hard working, loyal man with old world values and honest virtues. He instilled these with passion in his work and family life as well as in his devotion to service (sava). For 53 years he volunteered his service at the Paldi Sikh Temple. He never wavered from his conviction and determination to protect, preserve and to keep the Paldi Sikh Temple functioning. In the Cowichan Valley East Indian Community he was known and will be known as a man with a photographic memory and a wealth of knowledge. He was interviewed by numerous media agencies that did documentaries on the history of Paldi. A special thank you goes to Dr. Karen McIntyre for her passion and compassion in caring for our father. Thank you to the second floor staff at Cowichan District Hospital for their amazing care and understanding. Thank you to Dr. Mohammed Fazil for the social visits made to our house to cheer up our father. As great of a loss it is to our family, his loss is equally as great to the community. We send our condolences to the community as a whole. Joginder Singh Parmar was a great man. His legacy will live on and he will be sorely missed. Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2014 at the Duncan Christian Reformed Church, 930 Trunk Road, Duncan, BC from 10:30 AM to 12:00. Cremation Services will be held at Cowichan Valley East Indian Crematorium with Final Prayer Services and Langar at the Paldi Sikh Temple.

NYGAARD John Raudger John Raudger Nygaard winged his flight to the next world on June 10, 2014. “Oh Son of Spirit! With the joyful tidings of light I hail thee: rejoice! To the court of Holiness I summon thee; abide therein that thou mayest live in peace for evermore.â€? ~ Baha’u’llah After many years of health challenges Raudger is now at peace. He is Predeceased by his parents Melvin and Dorothy and brother Ernest. Survived by his wife Monika, sisters June (Walter), Carol (Rod) and brother Bill (Denise), children Jason (Julie), Tashan (Peter) and Kahlil (Fiska), and grandchildren Kyle, Amber and Colleen. Born on January 9, 1941 in Bella Coola, BC, Raudger always had a pioneering and independent spirit. He asked questions many didn’t dare or think to ask. He was his own person. Never being formally trained in art, he developed his own unique, classical style. Locally he is best known for his carving of the peace pole in Chemainus out of white marble and 2 large wooden totems at the former Aerie Restaurant on the Malahat. He also designed and built a First Nations Museum that he donated to the Nuxalk, Bella Coola First Nations Band that has since been used as a youth centre, a community centre and for North Island College. He carved numerous totems, art pieces, tombstones, created unique stained glass windows and jewelry, as well as designing and building 2 other unique buildings, his own home being nine sided with Chinese curved roofs, Peruvian windows, 31 stained glass windows from different cultures and an elliptical staircase with First Nations beaten copper shingles. He received several commissions within Canada, from the USA, Africa, Japan and Germany. Raudger joined the Baha’i Faith in 1967 and pioneered for the Faith to Richmond, Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan, the Kootenays and back to his birth place in Bella Coola. He was a great promoter of the oneness of all humanity. Raudger was a kind and gentle soul who befriended everyone he came in contact with. He was extremely out-going and his idea of a good time was to go to the cafĂŠ and talk with every stranger he met. He will be missed dearly by all his family and many friends. Graveside will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday June 14 at the Chemainus Cemetery, followed by a reception at St Michaels Anglican Church Hall (across from the post office) in Chemainus, B.C.

A tournament at the Island Savings Centre in Duncan was wellattended, with about 100 competitors from around the island. “It was an exciting day for a lot of the athletes, as for a lot of them this was their first karate tournament,’’ noted FCSK’s Loretta Schwab. “For the seasoned athlete/competitors, they all had a great time and the results show.’’ Most of the FCSK competitors placed in the top four. “We are very pleased and proud of all the training and effort out students put into preparing for the tournament,’’ raved Schwab. “Only a small percentage of our school actually competes and for those that did, we are so proud.’’ The other students who train so diligently were a valuable asset to the school, being supportive at the tournament and in the dojo,’’ she indicated.

Inside the cabin, you’ll be welcomed by Japanese Contact alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca What’s great about the 4-cylinder, Subaru offers it with a 6-speed manual. Our friends to the south don’t have access to such awesomeness. But on the flip side, it’s only available on the base model. Aside from the 6-speed manual, Subaru offers their version of a Continuously Variable Transmission, aka the Lineartronic CVT. While some might not be a fan of this type of transmission, don’t knock it until you try it. Subaru does an excellent job with the gear simulations and I didn’t feel the drone of the system under hard acceleration, even with the 4-cylinder. While I’d pick a manual any day, the CVT is darn good. So is the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, a standard feature on all Legacy trims.

Safety Tip: This early summer weather means more cyclists on the road, so as a driver shoulder checking is very important – especially when making right hand turns at intersections, before pulling away from a curb and before you open your vehicle door.

Quality and cost conscious classic car restoration is the key
By Nigel Matthews
Our classic and collector car expert continues today with the second part of his fourpart series on the restoration of public relations executive Laura Ballance’s rare 1967 Ford Mustang T5 by 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford. The restoration business has changed a great deal – in the past, most auto body repair shops would only take on such work when their collision work

dried up. Now it’s very specialist work and I’ m often asked if I could recommend a restoration shop. To be honest with you, I would be hard pressed to come up with enough names to fill the fingers of one hand. But I have no hesitation in saying that I doubt there is one in the entire country that restores and builds as many custom cars as 360 Fabrication, in Abbotsford. They control the costs and track the daily progress by using a number of management systems and a Gantt chart. The secret to controlling the work is to perform all of the tasks in-house with perhaps the exception of chrome plating. During my time in the trade, costs kept mounting up and either the customer or the technician, who worked on a flat rate (piecework) basis, was short changed resulting in ill feelings between the shop owner, his staff and the customer mainly caused by the lack of communication and too many assumptions! Laura Ballance’s original plan was to have a sympathetic restoration performed, replacing only what was necessary. But cars are no different from houses, boats and planes, so when the Mustang was disassembled and stripped they discovered that probably the only thing holding the
car together was Laura’s father’s DIY welding! The Mustang is a relatively easy car to restore in terms of obtaining new parts. In this case, by the time the air chisel and plasma cutter was put away the only major sheet metal components left was the roof, “A” pillars, rocker-panels, bulkhead and the two front frame rails and the rear section of the floor. I have heard the expression “better than new” a few times over the years and have often wondered how can it be better than new? But it can. Today’s restorations have improved with the help of
new technology such as compression fit welding equipment, seam sealers and paint products including epoxy primers, spray on polyester fillers and the waterborne color coats with a clear coat finish. These products are far superior to anything that came off the production line during the ‘60s. Rick Francoeur and his team at 360 always allow the customer to be in control and understand customer needs and expectations, even down to the smallest sentimental detail. However, sometimes they have to advise the client for their
own benefit, sometimes financial, safety related or future re-sale value. Laura wanted the Mustang refinished it its metallic blue, all the rage during the ‘60s and the car she remembers. But if the car is to retain its value and to represent how it came off the production line as a rare T5, it had to be painted its original Ford Paint Code Z, an interesting colour called Sauterne Gold Irid. This colour combined with a black interior and vinyl roof will make the car a real eye catcher. see more on page A18

HEART OF COWICHAN
Do it for Father’s Day is intended to honour all our Dads for the hard work and dedication to their families – the day to celebrate, indulge and thank Dads everywhere for the important role they play in all our lives. How will you celebrate your Dad on June 15? If you are looking for a great way to acknowledge and appreciate your special Dad, that perfect item or experience can always be found in downtown Duncan! Interesting that Father’s Day falls so close to the longest day of the year and the height of the outdoor season! Stop by Bucky’s for an awesome selection of outdoor equipment, fishing gear, sporting goods and all the assorted and necessary gear. Does Dad like to escape into the world of books? Find used and rare gems at Gallowglass and Ten Old Books, or the newest release at Volume One Bookstore. Is your Dad a fashion guy? The look he loves can be found at Outlooks for Men and/or Martin’s Men’s and Boy’s Wear. The hobbyist can find art supplies and model automobile sets at Scott’s Gifts, Toys and Hobbies.
Dad
What about that family painting sitting in the garage? Surprise Dad with a new frame from Station Street Gallery, Excellent Frameworks or Just Framing. Is Dad a cyclist? Perhaps a custom bike fitting at Cycle Therapy and maybe Dad will throw in a new bike for you so that you can ride together! Keeping with the theme of doing/sharing something with Dad, how about a special art class for you & Dad at 4Cats Art Studio? Dads are always hungry and Downtown Duncan has over 20 eateries of all shapes and sizes. Coffee Houses, Cafes, Bistros, International Cuisine, award winning restaurants – every option to fit your taste or budget. What Dad does not love the Craig Street Brew Pub or the Old Firehouse Wine Bar? Enough said... Is Dad ready to step into the 21st century? VI Cellular and Cowichan Sound and Cellular have the latest in cell phones, Smart phones, Bluetooth and accessories to take him there. Or for Dad the Handyman, paints can be found at Dobson’s and Cloverdale. And don’t forget about

Experience Downtown Duncan Valley Carpet One and Griffiths Home Plumbing for the bigger projects. If none of these ideas seems to work for your Dad, there’s always the Totem Pole Tours, the Cowichan Valley Museum or live music at the Duncan Showroom. And the West Coast Men’s Support Society is a downtown resource for any Dad that would like to reach out. Experience Downtown Duncan….the place to customize your appreciation for Your dear Dad!
New Faces, New Places
this quiet yet sophisticated little spot right by City Hall in downtown Duncan. McCormack Hunter Gallery Have you seen the new Pop Up Art Gallery at 80 Station Street featuring the bold and beautiful work of Bernadette McCormack and the more subtle impressionist work of Tammie Hunter? What a beautiful, if temporary, addition to downtown Duncan and located in the perfect spot in the former Merchant Building. The gallery does have limited hours so do check the artists Facebook pages to see when they will be in attendance.
The Station & Cycle Therapy Come and celebrate the Cowichan Green Community’s FIRST Birthday as owners of The Station on Saturday, June 28, 10 am – 2 pm. We can only say WOW, what a difference a year makes as Judy Stafford and her industrious crew, with the support of the Board of Directors, have transformed the building itself and helped in the creation of a vibrant, safe & resilient community. In just one short year we have seen the development of affordable and green second story apartments, an incredible urban food forest, the Garden party Thrift Store and the opening of an amazing bike store, Cycle Therapy an equally green sensitive enterprise! Join with the Tzinquaw dancers and community members to share and celebrate in this wonderful success story! Love Sushi & Teriyaki Grill? Just opened at the corner of Ingram and Canada is the Izakaya Sushi Grill, in the former City Square Grill location. As this is the third sushi enterprise in the area by the same owners, they clearly know what they are doing when it comes to Korean food. Drop by for lunch or dinner in
