River slowed to conserve water

North Cowichan casts Maple Bay boats adrift Eviction notice: Boats moored offshore given seven days to leave

Situation grave: but ofﬁcials feel move will buy the Cowichan 30 extra days

he water situation in the Cowichan region is grave, said Rob Hutchins, Cowichan Watershed Board co-chair. The combination of a dry spring and low snow pack has resulted in Cowichan Lake being almost 40 centimetres lower than it normally is at this time of year. Locals were put on stage two water restrictions earlier this month and the area’s largest water user, Catalyst Paper, reduced the Cowichan River’s flow from the seven cubic metres per second permitted in its license to five in an effort to make the water stored behind the weir last until the fall rains. “Reducing the flow from seven to five buys us 30 extra days (of water) in the lake,” Catalyst’s GM Rob Belanger said, while adding the reduction won’t impact mill operations. Rodger Hunter, co-ordinator for the CWB said the good news is that all the partners who can do anything about the situation are working together. “So many people know and care about this watershed...and they should,” Hunter said. Catalyst hosts weekly calls with representatives from the Cowichan Tribes, the Cowichan Valley Regional District, the CWB and various stewardship groups to monitor the situation, he added. The situation is worse than in 2003, Hunter said, in that it wasn’t until late August, not mid-July, when Catalyst reduced the river’s flow to five. “We’re well in advance of previous years,” he said. The Cowichan Watershed Board was established in 2010 to implement the Cowichan Basin Water Management Plan for the Cowichan watershed. Actions that have been taken to date: • Catalyst asked its 600 employees for suggestions on conserving water; • Fisheries and Oceans Canada is prepared, with Cowichan Tribes, to truck chinook salmon to spawning grounds if needed; • Island Health is increasing water quality monitoring • Stewardship groups have moved stranded juvenile fish from side channels and pools to the main part of the river and increased public education initiatives; • The province co-ordinated a provincial government drought planning session earlier this month. Despite the proactive measures, Hunter said a number of concerns continue. They include: more on page 4

wners of anchored or moored boats in Bird’s Eye Cove received notice Wednesday from the Municipality of North Cowichan they need to remove them within seven days or face a $500 fine. “Be advised that effective immediately, you are hereby ordered to relocate your vessel clear of the Private Residence Water Lot Zone (W1) as it is in direct contravention of Section 64.1 of District Zoning Bylaw 2950,’’ reads the notice from Scott Mack, director of development services for North Cowichan. “The W1 zone is reprinted on the reverse side of this letter in addition to a map illustrating the extent of Municipal jurisdiction which Jon Lefebure: extends 1,000 feet out from the high legitimate concern water mark and covers Bird’s Eye Cove. Moorage at anchor or by mooring buoy is not a permitted use. “Moorage at anchor or by mooring buoy for any period of time is prohibited. Failure to comply with this order by 9 a.m., July 16, 2014 will result in the issuance of a $500 fine payable to the district.’’ North Cowichan council was expected to discuss the sudden move to declare all moored boats in Bird’s Eye Cove illegal in a meeting occurring at press time yesterday. Floathome owners Don and Bridget Bruneski are among those affected and expressed concern there has been no previous information from North Cowichan, publicity or posting of notices. “We’ve had our boat here for pretty close to 22 years on a mooring,’’ said Bridget. “We’ve never had any notification from North Cowichan with anything to do with it. “To be given a notice to be gone in seven days is bizarre. It’s sort of a sledgehammer approach.’’ Peanut Butter The Maple Bay Community Association recently expressed its concern about derelicts, sewage hook-ups for live-aboards and noise bylaws as three areas that needed to be enforced. North Cowichan staff was directed to review the situation. “Staff reviewed our zoning regulations for W1 that Andrew Leong regulates the shoreline within 1,000 feet in Maple Carlow Rush, a dancer from Carlson’s School of Dance, performs a hip hop dance during Duncan Got Bay,’’ said North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure. more on page 14 Talent dance showcase at Charle Hoey Park’s CUPE stage on Wednesday.

UP FRONT

North Cowichan discussing expanded urban containment boundary

What a decision to extend North Cowichan’s urban containment boundary to the new dike north of Beverly Street could mean was unveiled after press time yesterday afternoon. Council was expected to discuss a revised land use concept for the area between Beverly and the dike prepared by staff after it voted July 2 to amend the proposed University Village

Plan to reﬂect an urban containment boundary that follows the dike between the Trans-Canada Highway and Lakes Road. “The changes considered included moving the urban containment boundary from Beverly Street part, or all, of the way to the dike, plus deﬁning the land uses that would be permitted (park, institutional, residential and commercial)

in the area,” Mayor Jon Lefebure said. The University Village Area is one of the three urban core areas in North Cowichan where greater density and a higher level of service is planned. Members of the Somenos Marsh Society are concerned the decision means more whittling away of the marsh.

How the referendum works

he group that helps people die and grieve with dignity is poised to become a publicly funded operation. Cowichan Valley Hospice is thanking the Cowichan Valley Regional District for a decision to recommend a regional service function be created to contribute to hospice care in the community. The decision — which will allow a maximum tax requisition of $62,500 — has been ratified by all four area municipalities. Residents who are opposed to the move have an opportunity to send it to referendum through the alternate approval process. Cowichan Valley Hospice president Mary Ann Deacon and executive director Gretchen Hartley were grateful for the move, instead of having to apply yearly for grants-in-aid. Hospice offers services including one-to-one and group emotional support for people diagnosed with an advancing illness and their families, and others grieving the death of a loved one. It also offers advance health care planning education and information. “In our community, we have among the highest proportions of aging people in B.C. who will need hospice services, and conversely, in coming years, the region will have a declining proportion of potential caregivers from within the working-age population,” stated Deacon and Hartley in a joint statement. “Cowichan Valley Hospice is working with our community to develop the care that is needed now and into the future. Ongoing funding from the CVRD will provide a solid anchor for hospice services. It also sends a strong signal about our community’s commitment to the ongoing development of end-of-life and bereavement care.” Hospice services are provided free of charge to more than 800 people a year because of community fundraising, personal and corporate donations and annual grants from gaming and the Cowichan United Way, according to Deacon and Hartley. Currently, Island Health provides a small amount of funding. “The most significant contribution to hospice care is the work of our volunteers, which, when calculated at a rate of $16.50 per hour, was worth $201,041 in 2013,” stated Deacon and Hartley. CVRD regional service funding must be approved by all municipal councils and Electoral Area directors and through a public approval process.

Small Wooden Boat Festival: Arie Van Dyk’s intricate wooden canoe wows them in Cowichan Bay

John McKinley

News Leader Pictorial

t was a phrase heard time and again at the Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre last weekend. “That’s not a boat, it’s a museum piece. It’s too beautiful to put in the water.” It spilled off many tongues as visitors paced the centre’s boardwalk only to pause and marvel at the Small Wooden Boat Festival’s “most newsworthy boat.” Arie Van Dyk’s 16-foot canoe earned the honour for the way he molded intricate layers of red and yellow cedar and a splash of mahogany into something

guaranteed to catch the eye. “Everybody was quite pleased looking at it,” the modest Cowichan Bay resident said. Van Dyk was born in 1934 in Holland. He started his career as a woodworker as a teenager. Boatbuilding is something he has gravitated to off and on over the years. He built his first canoe 29 years ago. His “most newsworthy” triumph is his second attempt. He did his work in his garage, a cloistered 19- by 19-foot space on the hill above the marina. He started in January and was done in May, but says he could have finished faster except the lack of heat meant the glue dried at a tedious pace. He crafted the canoe based on the designs of Ted Moores and Steve Killings. He said the most difficult part of the process was actually the fibreglas finish;

the detailed woodwork that had the crowd buzzing actually came together easily. “It didn’t take that long. If I showed you, you’d be amazed at how simple it was.” He has also built two kayaks, one of which was on display during the festival. He says the kayaks were actually harder to build because it has a deck. Up next may be a 12-foot paddler that he hopes he can build as a group project at the maritime centre as a way of sharing his expertise with others. And is his most recent work of art going to stay in a showroom? Absolutely not. He said he will be taking it on its maiden voyage in the near future. “I am looking for some sweetwater to launch it, maybe in the next week or so. I may even have a bottle of champagne.”

Arie Van Dyk says people would be amazed at how easily these intricate patterns came together in his hand-crafted canoe.

Officials worried but confident from page 1

• Water quality, particularly in the area below the Joint Utility Board sewage lagoons; • Damage to fish populations, including stranding, habitat loss, temperature stress and the fall loss of adult chinook salmon due to inadequate river flows and seal predation; • The inability of the Cowichan Tribes to use fish for ceremonial, food and cultural reasons; • Economic impacts to Catalyst, as well as to the area in reduced recreational opportunities and longer term impacts on commercial and sport fisheries. Next steps could include: • Continued monitoring of water levels and water quality; • Exploring other options, including placing pumps in Lake Cowichan and pumping water over the weir and reducing the water’s flow from five to four and a half. “I’m worried but also confident; there are lots of people here in the Cowichan Valley who care about the situation who are used to working together, to ensure the best possible outcome,” Hunter said. “We have the right people who will do their best.” “The valuable thing about this drought is that it will promote water literacy,” he said. “With climate change, that’s an important body of knowledge.”

Duncan pole-ing for peace

relationship is the fact Cowichan’s peace pole is not really a pole, but two interlocking fiddle head ferns that stand 10 and 12 feet high. Gillatt says the ferns are indigenous to the area and were part of the First Nations early-spring, subsistence food, that provided them with fresh greens. “They were a sign of spring, new hope,” she said. The project has been a labour of love for Gillatt, who first came up with the idea in 2011, after reading that more than 250,000 peace poles had been raised by individuals around the world. The idea started after the Second World War, when a Japanese man put a pole in his yard, that read, “may peace prevail on earth.” “Communities across the world have taken this up,” she said. After securing Duncan council’s

commitment to find a space to place the pole on city property — a location has yet to be found — the community elder approached the Cowichan Tribes. “Ideally I’d like it to be in the heart of the town,” Gillatt said. “Someone suggested by the train tracks near Trunk Road.” The pole, designed by Glenn Patterson, will be carved by a member of the Cowichan Tribes. Plans are for one of the ferns to have the saying, “may peace prevail on earth,” in English, the other in the Tribes’ native language Hul’qumi’num. The garden will also have a traditional Cowichan welcoming figure, which will be carved with the participation of the community, similar to the Spirit Pole, which was carved for the North American Indigenous Games in 2008. For locals willing to give peace a chance, the Peace Pole Art Project Committee could use your help. Those interested in entering a raffle — prizes include a garden design, a spa treatment or an evening kayak trip for two — should purchase the tickets before July 12 at Portals Gallery in the Island Savings Centre, or Island Bagel on Station Street. The society hopes to raise $20,000 and already has $1,200 in donations, another $750 from the raffle and a commitment from the City of Duncan for $5,000. Online donations can be made through Social Planning Cowichan at www.CanadaHelps.org and cheques mailed to SPC’s 135 Duncan Street, V9L 1R9 address.

Improving relationships: Plans underway to erect a peace pole downtown

ormer Beatle John Lennon urged us to give peace a chance. Joan Gillatt, a former city councillor and Freeman of Duncan wants to do more than that. She wants to erect a peace pole — with the requisite Cowichan flair — in downtown Duncan, so locals get a visual reminder about the importance of peace, as well as a place to experience it. “Let’s start here by putting it front and centre in our community, where people can see it,” she said. Asked why this project and why now, she said it seemed to her the area needed it. “Peace is more important than war, peace begins with individuals living peacefully within our community,” Gillatt said. “There was too much divisiveness between the First Nations people and the people who settled here, it’s (the relationship) getting better all the time.” An example of that improving

ising temperatures also bring a rise in the number of thefts from vehicles. North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP are reporting a busy period of thefts from vehicles just as the thermometer starts to climb. Police are advising people to lock their car doors and not make valuables easily accessible to thieves. “Never leave your wallet or other sources of identification laying about for would-be thieves to take,’’ said Cpl. Krista Hobday in a statement. “If you have had your vehicle broken into, please notify the police. Where and when thefts from vehicles occur is an important source

of information when determining who may be responsible for the thefts,’’ added Hobday. In less than a 24-hour period, reports were received that seven vehicles had been broken into in the same general area and it’s only going to get worse with the summer weather. Witnesses have reported seeing a male and a female lurking in the vicinity of the soccer fields off Somenos Road where the thefts have occurred. The greatest number of thefts have been on Palahi Road. Police suspect the work of two thieves has yielded a haul that includes everything from welding supplies to a dirt bike, but are not ruling out the involvement of others. Meanwhile, a stolen prop isn’t something police are called upon to

investigate often, but one thief recognized the value of one of them. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP is seeking public assistance in the theft of a polished prop worth about $10,000. A resident reported the theft June 7 after it disappeared from Scott Road at the Tansor Industrial Park. The prop is huge, seven feet tall and seven feet wide, and is inscribed in brass with “Beach Drive Bed and Breakfast.’’ The investigating officer has recovered some portions of the prop but is seeking to locate the remainder of it. Police are asking if any businesses or individuals have been propositioned about buying portions of the prop to contact them at 250-7485522 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Ofﬁcials tossing good boats out with the bad?

Without warning: Suddenly giving ‘healthy’ boats the heave-ho wrong, no matter the bylaw

ometimes local government can be hard to figure out. Much of the time it seems to move so slowly and ponderously as to look almost paralyzed. Other times it makes a decision that seems so quick and arbitrary it’s enough to give you whiplash. One couldn’t find a better case in point for both sides of that equation than North Cowichan’s handling of the derelict boat issue. The municipality has dealt with complaints about derelict boats time and again over the years. It sat idly, Decision pleading jurisdictional impotence while barge after barge predictably seems rushed sank to the sea floor at the mouth of and poorly Chemainus Harbour. Then, less than a month after a thought-out group of intrepid citizens points out it may have had the legal tools to deal with these maritime nuisances once and for all, North Cowichan dives in headfirst without checking the waters, tossing the baby out with the bathwater in the process. Some people may have problems with well-maintained, safely anchored ships in Maple Bay, but they would be in the minority. The issue most people have is with those craft barely keeping above the waterline that could pose a hazard to navigation and to the environment. Yet without prior warning or any evidence of public discussion North Cowichan has seemingly elected to target any and all craft moored within 1,000 feet of its shores. North Cowichan says it is just enforcing a bylaw that has been on the books for a long time. But why, and why now? What was the reason for not enforcing the bylaw before now, and why does it exist at all?

We say:

Seeing both sides of: picking the frontrunners The case against

The next federal election is scheduled for the next calendar year. Cowichan residents will be voting in a new riding. And neither the governing party, nor the ofﬁcial opposition have got around to deciding who will be carrying their ﬂag as this community’s representative in Ottawa. The people deserve as much time as possible to get to know their choices.

Muni’s development agenda trumps public input Paul Fletcher

News Leader Pictorial

don’t trust government. I have been part of a municipal council and should trust. But I don’t, and have not for a long time. I am generally a pretty positive fellow, but government, particularly local government, continues to fray any opportunity for my trust to return. Illustrating my growing distrust was last week’s North Cowichan council’s decision to move the Urban Containment Boundary from Beverly Street to the new dike. After a year of public consultation and participation, the final draft for the new plan for the so-called University Village Area clearly stated that the UCB should remain at Beverly Street. The planning maps unveiled at last week’s council meeting paint an entirely different scenario with the appearance of alternative 1 and 2 maps, which moves the UCB

to the dike, or to the back of a significantly enlarged area of development. It is interesting to note North Cowichan, School District 79 and Fun Pacific own the lands between the dike and Beverly Street, but only North Cowichan and SD79 staff participated in the University Village Stakeholder Advisory Group. Fun Pacific was notably absent from the process. Fun Pacific owns the only commercial property outside of the UCB and has, for years, unsuccessfully engineered ideas to make its land more profitable. Its persistence finally paid off last year when the Agricultural Land Commission agreed to allow the removal of their lands from the Agricultural Land Reserve in trade for land on the flanks of Mount Prevost, land that in earlier years, had been identified by the ALC as unsuitable for agriculture. Now we learn from the new planning maps there is a possibility a portion of the disputed police station property might be slated for development once again, this time

Cowichan-Malahat-Langford is an artiﬁcial creation that throws together some very distinct communities. Political parties pick our candidate and those parties need some time to meld the different interests and personalities into something new before deciding which person best reﬂects that new personality. There is nothing wrong with taking some time to get things right.

COWICHAN LEADERS

as an annex to the neighbouring Fun Pacific property. To add insult to injury, the land beside the dog park, purchased by North Cowichan for a farmland price, is likely to be flipped for development rather than left as agricultural as the University Village Plan recommended. Strangely enough, the PowerPoint presentation by the Director of Planning, Scott Mack provided a very convincing argument against moving the UCB, and yet, his final slide recommended moving the UCB to the dike. Go figure. Contributing to the one-sidedness was Fun Pacific’s representative speaking to council in support of the UCB move, while the Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society’s letter against never made it onto the public record. The Mayor pegged it when he said he would vote against the recommendation due to the anticipated perception council’s decisions were once again being development

driven. The initial discussion drew to a close when the CAO, pushing his development agenda, instructed council that the entire area, with the UCB moved to the dike, was now in their hands to determine what the final zoning would be for the area. North Cowichan appears hell-bent for leather to get this all done before the summer ends thus ensuring the public resistance that the mayor is afraid of will be minimized by summer holiday absences. The question to ask is why was there a public planning process at all when council is now set to rewrite the plan without further public input? It just doesn’t seem right. Paul Fletcher is former Duncan city councillor who writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial.

Rock of the Woods joyful and peaceful

Dear editor When Glenora Farm (a residential community for people with special needs and their caregivers) hosted the Rock of the Woods festival in 2012, all residents and neighbours were very impressed with the amount of energy Dave Bain and his team put into meeting all our concerns and wishes about safety, volume and other issues. The crew did a wonderful job of setting up the festival, running it for three days without incident, and tidying up the grounds afterwards. Their dedication to making everybody involved feel good about the event deserves applause. An essential part of ROTW’s allure is its setting out in the country. With an attendance of 500 people, it is not comparable to Sunfest (attendance in 2012: 13,000), and ROTW would lose a lot of its character and atmosphere in a setting like the Cowichan Exhibition grounds. We very much enjoyed these joyful, colourful and peaceful days in July 2012 and wish Dave Bain and his team all the best in establishing this festival in and for the Cowichan Valley!

Evidence shows planet is warming

Dear editor Patrick Hrushowy needs to stop the trolling. These same tired lines have been used time and time again over the past 20 years by the fossil fuel lobby and people duped by them. Every temperature record one looks at has recently been broken. We’ve just had the hottest May on record, 13 of the 14 warmest years on record occurred in the 21st century and 2001-2010 was the hottest decade on record. Climate change is affecting the planet in disastrous ways everywhere one looks. The planet is warming and we are to blame Michael Hale comments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

Corporate encroachment into education frightening

Dear editor In response to the letter and photos by Mel Burgess: Education has become big business, to our despair. It has been happening for quite sometime, but the starkness of it is just starting to become evident to the public. We’re seeing a continued trend toward corporate with no relief in sight. I imagine our only hope, at this point, is for the system to cave in on itself, somehow. For that to happen, there has to be some dissent. The teachers’ strike is something, but as usual, propaganda will lay all negative results squarely in the lap of the striking teachers, the “disobedient.”

were consistently impressed by the professional manner and supportive nature in which Pictorial staff conducted themselves. The exposure through the Pictorial has been invaluable for letting parents and children know about the educational opportunities at Dwight, and we value the support we have received from local families. Thank you all!

Dear editor This letter is in response to the one from teacher Mel Burgess. I agree the Brentwood College structure is impressive; it would have cost many dollars, which is partly why the fees there are so high. To build one similar to this for the Adult Learning Centre would be ridiculous, as every district in the province would demand something similar for each of their schools. Where does this money come from? Out of the pockets of the general population, in taxes. Many people do not earn teachers’ salaries, but are struggling on pensions or minimum wage jobs. Take off your rose-tinted glasses, and have a closer look at the real world. Another option teachers have is to apply for a teaching position at the private school, though they would probably earn a little less money and have fewer benefits. Rosemary Ratcliff

he saying, “Elvis has left the building,” was originally used by announcers to get rabid Elvis fans who wanted to get a closer look at those famous blue suede shoes to go home, so that the maintenance staff could clean up. Did anyone think to look for the King in Mill Bay? Well, they should have. The Mill Bay/Malahat Historical Society, the Bamberton Historical Society and Mill Bay’s merchants and community groups have promised that Elvis, as well as other notables like Al Capone, Bill Gates and 70 more life-size, hand-crafted characters will be in Mill Bay from now until July 18. And then they will surface again on Sundays at Bamberton from July 20 to Aug.17. It’s all part of the annual Good Old Daze event.

News Leader Pictorial

here’s pride knowing North Cowichan is one of the few communities in North America that has privately owned forest lands providing income for the municipality. In fact, North Cowichan owns 5,000 ha of lands which makes up 25% of its total land area. In July 1953, seven years after the municipality acquired its first forested land, Reeve E. A. Beasley and councillors Murison, Whittaker, Seymour and Douglas decided they would sell what timber they could at the current high prices and revise the forestry policy. They would take out land suitable for residential or farming purposes and tie up the remainder with long-term leases for grazing and Christmas tree raising. At the time, the municipality had 200 acres suitable for farming near Osborne Bay. To ensure all conditions in future timber sales were enforced, the B.C. Forest Service would be asked to supervise the removal of all timber and trees sold and see that the terms of leases were carried out.” “This will tie up future councils from selling the forests for next to nothing,” Beasley said. However, Murison felt the municipality did not have enough experience to compete with large commercial firms in selling timber.

As a result of that, he said, the decision was made for bylaw compliance. “We have thousands of bylaws,’’ Lefebure said. “We are physically

unable to enforce all of them 100%. “In this case, council felt there was a legitimate concern raised about crowded waterways and noise and environmental impacts from vessels that might be moored and

that bylaw enforcement should take place in this location.’’ “Ours and others are not derelict vessels,’’ said Bridget. “They are used and maintained.’’ The economic impact on the valley could be

This means that visiting boats from Canada, U.S., the rest of the world are not allowed to anchor there despite this having been an anchorage for decades.’’

Bebop jazz legend P.J. Perry unleashes his sax twice this weekend

ON STAGE

Celebrated jazz saxophonist P.J. Perry makes a rare visit to the Cowichan Valley this weekend, leading two all-star bands in two different venues. Canada’s Mr. Bebop, Perry will perform with trombonist Ian McDougall, guitarist Oliver Gannon and bassist Neil Swainson at Sylvan United Church in Mill Bay on Saturday, and with Swainson and Nanaimo drummer Hans Verhoeven at

the Crofton Hotel Pub on Sunday. Perry, of Edmonton, has performed with countless jazz greats, from Dizzy Gillespie to Michel Legrand, from Kenny Wheeler to Rob McConnell, to name just a few. In 1993, he won a Juno Award for Best Jazz Recording for his album, My Ideal. The Saturday concert, a Church Mice Produc-

tions show, is at Sylvan United Church, 985 Shawnigan Mill Bay Rd. in Mill Bay, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $20. For reservations, call 250-743-4301. The Crofton concert runs on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Crofton Hotel Pub, 1534 Joan Ave. in Crofton. Admission is $10. For information, call 250-324-2245.

Sun(fest) shines on local talent B.C.’s biggest country festival: giving Cowichan and Island musicians a chance to play in the spotlight

t 10 years old, Duncan fiddler Dona Wilkie could be the youngest musician to play SunFest in the colossal festival’s 14-year history. “She’s definitely the youngest musical performer this year — maybe in the history of SunFest,” said event spokeswoman Charlotte Fisher. Wilkie, starting Grade 6 at Tansor elementary, symbolizes SunFest’s all-ages, family focus — and its drive to hire valley and island talent in addition to big stars, such as Sunday’s finale-headliner, Tim McGraw. Fifteen island bands are booked for the event’s Saloon Stage and other venues during the July 31 to Aug. 3 event on Cowichan Exhibition’s sprawling grounds. “We’ve always wanted to give a chance to local musicians’ talent, and what better way than during SunFest?” asked Fisher, welcoming Wilkie to the event’s extended family. “Here’s a 10-year-old girl playing on stage with her dad in the largest country festival in B.C.” Wilkie performs July 31 with her guitaristfather’s band, Lonesome Don Wilkie and His West Coast Wranglers. “It’ll be cool,” she said, reckoning the largest crowd she’s played for numbered about 60 folks. “Obviously, I’ll be nervous because it’s my first performance in front of 1,000 people.” SunFest 14 could reach 30,000 in attendance, Fisher estimated. Bring ‘em on, signaled Lonesome Don, glad to be among its island acts. “We’re as local as you get,” he said, polishing his new guitar. “It’s a great honour to play

hemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society will once again host its Music in the Park series featuring live music every Tuesday night, throughout July and August at Waterwheel Park. Society chair Bob Johns confirmed each night of entertainment begins at 7 p.m., and this year, the lineup of musicians comes from far and wide. “It’s a pretty outstanding lineup,” he said. “In the past, we’ve made a job of highlighting the local musicians, but this year, our idea was to bring in musicians from the outside. They are all very high-grade.” Johns confirmed that each night, the featured artist or band will play two one-hour sets. The Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society also provides gourmet hot dogs and hamburgers, so it’s a great opportunity to come down to the park, grab a burger for supper and watch the band. Entry is by donation, and all the funds go to the society. The July schedule of music is as follows: • July 15: Bluegrass Fever — described as a Vancouver Island favourite • July 22: Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific — jazz, swing, Latin, dixieland and marches all mixed into one act • July 29: The Hampshire Youth Choir — a group from England which sings medieval hymns, folk tunes and songs by The Beatles

In lieu of flowers, if you wish please donate to Teen Challenge.

Peter Green, NPR, Nuclear Physicist (Retired), came to Duncan in 2002. He had worked hard at physics research, then worked hard at golf and bridge. He was very proud of his grown son, a police sergeant in Edmonton. His wife, Deborah, remembers his acute mind, memory and wit. See you in a few billion years, Star Stuff. No service or flowers, just good memories. H.W. Wallace 5285 Polkey Rd. 250-701-0001

EDWARDS, Beverly July 15, 1942 ~ June 14, 2014 Beverly died peacefully at home in her special bedroom with her husband by her side. Beverly is survived by her husband Hugh Marlen, her brother Tracy, her son TJ and her daughter-in-law Eleanor, as well as her grandchildren Tyson and Shaylene. A special thanks go to the Paliative Care Team and Home Support who helped Hugh assist Beverly to move on with dignity and in peace. They are in a class by themselves among caregivers. Beverly was a remarkable woman who was true to following her heart despite any obstacles. Over many years Beverly has touched the heart of many people and helped make their lives a little better. She was a caring, considerate woman with a wisdom beyond her years. In every way, Beverly was extraordinary. It has been an honour for me to have shared the path along side of Beverly, helping each other along the way. In lieu of flowers, Beverly has requested that donations be made to the SPCA. A get together will be held on Saturday, July 19, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at their home, 5915 Upland Ave, to help celebrate Beverlyâ€™s moving on to her next step in spirit. May she always be dancing in the light.

Bless you.

adpole regional baseball isnâ€™t for the faint of heart. With the pitching machine used to deliver the ball to home plate, the players coming up to bat are there to swing. That results in some fast-paced action for eager eight- and nine-year-olds looking to get the big hit. Thirteen teams entered the Island regionals at Duncanâ€™s Evans Park and there was plenty of excitement. Games literally werenâ€™t over till the last man was out. Carnarvon of Victoria captured the championship with a 10-2 triumph over Peninsula in the final while the Duncan Red Sox â€” one of two host teams â€” claimed third with an 11-10 squeaker over Campbell River Blue Tyees Sunday. The Red Sox, coached by Shawn Cyr

and Brad Lesiuk with assistance from Kim Anderton and Steve Poznecov, rallied from behind in the late innings to take third and put on quite a show throughout the tournament. The Red Sox finished 3-1 in Pool A with wins over Lake Cowichan Lakers 19-8, Campbell River Red Tyees 13-9 and Esquimalt Lions 11-9 and a narrow 9-8 loss to Carnarvon that led to a semifinal berth and a tough defeat against Peninsula. Red Sox MVPs were: Josh Brennan, Christopher Merry, Luca Iorio, Jacob Cyr, Miles Pastuk and Alex Gammie. The Duncan Dodgers, coached by Doug Cornett, Cam Erickson and Terry Girdlestone, finished 1-2-1 in Pool B. They nipped Ladysmith 15-14 and tied Triangle 10-10 Friday and lost 15-7 to the Campbell River Blue Tyees and 8-6 to Nanaimo Gold Pirates Saturday. Game MVPs for the Dodgers included: Simon Baker, Ashton Rota, Kadin Girdlestone and Landon Day.
