All aboard for new marina in Mill Bay? Hearing Tuesday: Public asked opinion on waterfront condo proposal that could pay for south-end boating haven Krista Siefken

News Leader Pictorial

A

n unexpected public hearing is giving the community one last chance to speak about the Mill Bay Marina project before CVRD directors vote on the development. The project proposes a new marina plus 14 homes at the end of Handy Road. It had already received third reading from the CVRD board when directors decided to send it back for a second public hearing (see sidebar). Now both sides of the marina debate are marshalling supporters to speak during Tuesday’s meeting. The developers — Cam Pringle, Andrew Purdey and Dave Slang — stress they’re building a public portal to Mill Bay’s coveted but virtually inaccessible waterfront. “Mill Bay has no access to waterfront -— zero,” Pringle said. “Here it is. We’re offering up a really nice walkway along the beach on our property, which we’ve now donated to the CVRD, and we’re rebuilding the boat launch. None of this is because we were told to. This is all volunteer. We’re community guys.” The trio took over the property after the spring 2010 storm that savaged the existing marina structure. The previous owner had planned to turn it into a massive development with 70 homes along the waterfront. Instead, Pringle, Purdey and Slang propose to build the marina r — with 700 lineal feet of transient docking plus store and bistro — then use the 14-home b development to gain back their investment in the water facility. “We’ve promised the comBrian Harrison: munity the marina !rst.

We’re putting our money where our mouths are, and we’re putting our money in the community.” It’s a $10-million risk, but the guys are marina users who miss having the facility in their community, and have taken it upon themselves to make it happen. “And I can tell you, the people we’ve talked to who are in the marina business think we’re all nuts,” Pringle said. “But we need a marina here. That’s the way it is, so here we are.”

But if the CVRD decides to nix the rezoning request for the housing development, the owners suggest they’ll have to reconsider their plans for the marina. “If we get approval, we’re still going to have a completed marina down here prior to Christmas — probably in November,” said managing director Duane Shaw. “But if we don’t get approval, we’ll have to pull the pins on it and reconsider what our options are.” That’ll be tricky, considering parts of the marina structure are already being constructed up-island. “We’re building state-of-the-art wave

breaks,” Shaw explained. “There’s a total of 3.6-million pounds of "oating wave break that’s on order to come into this marina to provide protection to the boats that are on the inner harbour.” But while marina neighbours Terry and Tricia Parker would like to see a revitalized marina in the community, they’ll be speaking against the housing development at Tuesday’s public hearing. As reported previously, the Parkers stand to lose their ocean view if rezoning to allow the 14 homes is approved. more on page 6

Eating a good breakfast is important. After a period of 8-12 hours without food, the body experiences low levels of blood sugar. Breakfast provides fuel for your body and keeps you alert and functioning efficiently throughout the morning. Don’t skip that important first meal of the day. Remember those old black and white movies? It seemed that everyone smoked. In 1948, 82% of British men smoked. Today that number is down to 22%. The message is getting through. Regular exercising early in life is like opening a savings account. Later in life, you will enjoy the “money” you put in when you were younger. Taking care of your body now will lead to a much healthier and enjoyable life. So start “saving” now. Remember, you are never too old to start an

olice and !re of!cials are investigating a second suspicious !re at 8001 Greendale Road in Lake Cowichan. The second blaze struck a residence on the property Tuesday night, three weeks after a shed at the same address went up in "ames, and a couple other homes were damaged. “The lone occupant was able to escape the "ames and injury through a ground-level window,” Cpl. Krista Hobday said of the Aug. 23 !re. “He was treated for smoke inhalation and released.” The property owner, meanwhile, resides in a separate residence on the site, and was not aware of the nearby !re until he saw the !re trucks arrive. “A neighbour called 911, with the Lake Cowichan Volunteer Fire Department and RCMP responding,” Hobday said. “The cause of the !re is yet unknown but is being treated as suspicious.” Cpl. Warren Potter said Thursday morning there have been no arrests yet in connection with the two !res. “We’re looking at a couple people — I don’t know if we’d consider them suspects at this point — but people are being interviewed,” he said. “Both the !re marshall and the RCMP are continuing with their investigation with this incident and the previous !re, which gutted a large garage and damaged two residences on the property,” Hobday added. Anyone with information regarding the suspicious !res is asked to call police at 250-749-6668, or place an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Cops dig for clues about missing cat Mounties are looking for public assistance in tracking down a stolen excavator. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Const. Markus Lueder said the miniBobcat excavator was recently taken from a construction site on Trumpeter Road.

Police believe the Bobcat — valued at more than $20,000 -— was stolen on or around Wednesday, Aug. 17. That’s also the suspected date of a separate theft that occurred in the 3100 block of the Cowichan Valley Highway. Welding equipment was taken from a storage shed at the address, and while

police are following up on a possible lead on that theft, anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact police. The North Cowichan/Duncan detachment can be reached at 250-748-5522; or place an anonymous tip by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

quiet renaissance of cultural nightlife is happening in downtown Duncan. Craig Street’s El Centro café and its groundbreaking sidewalk patio are leading it. Others offering artistic alternatives after dark now include the intimate Noodles Of The World on Station Street, and the Phoenix Station Motor Inn on Duncan Street. Bon vivants can also sip vino come fall in the planned Old Firehouse Wine Bar in half of what’s now Gallowglass Books. The other half will offer the new Dolce pastry shop off city square. All those joints basically join the Craig Street Brew Pub, Bistro 161, The Courts Sports Lounge, Dino’s Grill and the venerable Duncan Garage Showroom bringing folks downtown after dark. “It has to be a joint effort,” Bistro 161 and Dolce owner Fatima da Silva said. “The more restaurants downtown, the more people will come.” Sean Mayer of Isle Style Productions agreed. He’s busy booking the Phoenix’s monthly live acts that aren’t strictly rock ‘n’ roll.

Kayakers warned to be prepared in local waters Matthew Peterson

News Leader Pictorial

A

pair of kayakers who failed to turn up at their destination earlier this month have sparked warnings about proper preparation before paddling local waters. The Ladysmith Auxiliary Coast Guard discovered the women around midnight Aug. 15, safe on one of the Secretary Islands, small private islands located between Penelakut and Galiano. Auxiliary member Nick Epp-Evans said the unit was called at about 10 p.m. after a report kayakers had become stuck on some rocks. “Their intention was to kayak from Tent Island to Salt Spring,” he said, The incident, coupled with a similar search a day earlier in the Cedar/Yellow Point area that included use of a military helicopter, prompted the auxiliary to issue a reminder for people to take the right gear. “If either of those kayakers had

Some of the kayakers were not even equipped with a head torch, he added. “To see a low kayak at night in the water is very, very, very hard.” Not to mention, Epp-Evans added, there is a large price tag to dispatch three boats and a Cormo-

rant for a search. Bud Bell, owner of Ladysmith’s Sealegs Kayaks, said all kayakers heading into the ocean need to be properly prepared. Bell said people wishing to rent a kayak without the proper self- and assisted-rescue training are limited to one hour in a single kayak and two hours in a double. People renting kayaks must also !ll out a route map/schedule,

Amb front se.tting iance & h atural ocean ospitality in a n

checklist and other documentation to ensure their safe return. However, said Bell, even the experienced, trained kayakers can get themselves in trouble by being ill-prepared. While some renters go through the rigors of proper planning and safeguards, there is nothing to regulate the people who buy their own kayaks and hit the water. Bell said mandatory safety gear should include, a paddle "oat to help people get back in the boat, a pump, a throw bag that goes on the boat, 50 feet of "oating towing line, spare paddle, "ashlight or headlamp and extra batteries. Bell said a "are and radio are also suggested but come with some extra training. “You can go out and buy a radio, but you’ve got to take a course to learn how to use it.” Same goes for the "ares, he said, which are basically an explosive device. The most important thing is a fully charged cellphone with contact numbers, including the coast guard, said Bell. “Cellphone coverage in our Gulf Islands is very good.”

New project to !ll hole downtown Canada and Trunk: Four-storey mostly residential complex proposed Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

Become a Central and Upper Island Community Council member. Community Living BC (CLBC) is a provincial Crown agency that funds supports in community for adults with developmental disabilities and their families. The Central-Upper Island Community Council is a group of volunteers that develops partnerships and awareness at the local level to help develop more opportunities for the people CLBC supports to participate in their communities. The Council represents communities from Port Hardy to Duncan, and West to Port Alberni, Tofino and Ucluelet. Its membership includes Self-Advocates, Family Members, Community Members and Service Providers. We are currently seeking members to represent Duncan on the Council.

A

30-unit residential-commercial complex called The Alderlea is proposed for Duncan’s longvacant corner at Canada Avenue and Trunk Road. Stephen Holland of Victoria’s Intercoast Projects Ltd. said a rezoning application for the $5-million, 30-unit project was handed to city hall Thursday. “The site’s currently zoned C-1, but that doesn’t allow residential units on the ground "oor, above only. “We’ve applied for a site-speci!c text change to the zoning.” Details about a public hearing were unknown for the four-storey, 36,000-square-foot project on the site of the failed Savoy residential project.

Plans call for Alderlea’s two commercial units at the ground "oor’s south end. The balance of ground-"oor space would offer six residential live-work suites facing Canada Avenue. Alderlea’s second, third and fourth "oors would each comprise 1,000-square-foot residential suites with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each above-grade suite would sport its own balcony with an opaque-glazed railing. Residential suites would have their own parking stall at the building’s west side. A decorative cedar fence, trellis and other landscaping would enclose the parking lot. Prices of Alderlea’s units, being sold by Alex Roberson of Royal LePage Duncan, were unavailable. Design details will be !ne-tuned after city hall grants the required zoning amendment, Holland ex-

plained. “I read the city’s of!cial community plan, and the Downtown Revitalization Plan, and I like the idea of a heritage-looking building. “With the amendment to the zoning, we can look more in sympathy with that heritage look,” he said. “If we can bring 30 residential suites to the downtown, great.” The Alderlea may also include some green features but “we’re not into that level of design yet,” he said. Cowichan’s Bruce Stott still technically owns the lot, Holland said. Robertson said Royal LePage had sold about 40 per cent of the Savoy’s units prior to the project going sideways. Prospective Savoy buyers got their deposits back from Royal LePage Duncan, he said. Holland said he was not involved with The Savoy project.

P

olice are reminding riders of Cowichan River currents to nix booze consumption when on the water. The latest warning comes after Cowichan Search and Rescue initiated a search for a man believed to be lost in the river after drinking. The incident occurred at about 11 p.m. on Monday.

“North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP received a report from a male that he had been rafting with his friend down the Cowichan River when they stopped at the Silver Bridge,” Cpl. Kevin Day said on Tuesday of the 19and 20-year-old men. “The male went to get someone to pick them up, and returned to !nd that both his friend and the raft were gone. There was concern as the male that was gone had been drinking, and due to the time of night — it was dark.” Fearing the man may have run

into trouble, police called SAR, who located the raft up the shore near McAdam Park. The male was later located, safe and sound, at his home. “The quick work of Search and Rescue in assembling, organization and initiating the search was outstanding,” Day added. “This is also a reminder to those that choose to drink and do this sort of activity, it is not safe. We want everyone to have a safe and happy summer.”

It’s the wild, not just your personal outdoor playground Lessons in adventuring: Remember, your decisions affect more people than just yourself

S

ure, not everybody out there grew up a Boy Scout. But very few of us fail to recognize the common sense behind their motto: be prepared. Still, just about every summer we’re guaranteed to see a reminder of someone who missed the memo. A case in point is today’s article about search and rescue teams dispatched off the local coastline to look for kayakers. But the lesson rings true for all hikers, boaters, !shermen, mountain bikers and river riders — for outdoor adventurers of all stripes. Let’s face it: just because our backyard is one great, big adventure playground, Be prepared it’s no reason to go play in it like naive children. while enIt’s the wilderness. You need equipjoying the ment. You need a plan. Make sure you know where you are going, how you are outdoors getting there and when you are returning. Share your plans. The more remote the location, the greater the need to bring food, water, !rst-aid, proper clothing and the means to communicate. Don’t minimize the risks. Finally, something to keep in mind is the caring community that surrounds you. No one goes about their business in Cowichan in a vacuum. When something falls away from its expected pattern — a call is not made, an appointment is not kept, a strange face appears in a strange place — people get worried. And people act. Those actions sometimes turn into heroics. Other times they turn into an expensive waste of time and resources and nightmarish hours of fear for those waiting at home. Sometimes when we go out adventuring we tend to forget it is our responsibility to not only think about ourselves, but to think about our neighbours and our loved ones as well. That’s de!nitely another consideration that should be added to our personal checklists.

We say:

Seeing both sides of: appeal over wells ruling The case against

The case for The Halalt have been talking to North Cowichan and the province for years about the Chemainus Wells. To say the have not been listened to is one thing. To say they have not been consulted is quite another. The court may have minimized the scope of the Environmental Assessment Act, and the Crown needs to reinforce its authority over water supplies. The appeal is necessary.

Chemainus is using its old water system until the Chemainus Wells court case is resolved.

Municipal auditor solution to non-existent problem Patrick Hrushowy

News Leader Pictorial

I

s municipal or local government spending out of control? If you believe that then you would probably support the provincial government’s call for a Municipal Auditor General. If, on the other hand, you think local governments are already subject to all kinds of rules and regulations that require “Victoria already total transparency on !exercises much nancial matters, then you control over local would probably think the MAG proposal is governments.” overkill seeking to solve a problem that hasn’t even been de!ned. More than a few local government elected of!cials from around the province have their noses more than slightly out of joint over this unilateral

Hrushowy

move to force oversight of local government spending. Under the umbrella of the Union of B.C. Municipalities, which represents local government, the case is being made that the provincial government has created a challenge for everyone by beginning “with a solution rather than the identi!cation of a problem to be addressed and an analysis of the options to resolve it.” In other words, local government is asking: Who says we have a problem? If there is a problem, what is it? Tell us who is doing a bad job of looking after the taxpayers’ money! So far there are no clear answers from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. There will, however, be a major session on the MAG when the UBCM holds its annual general meeting in Vancouver in late September. I think that session will be hot and full of !ery debate and discussion. I think it is legitimate for someone to declare they think local government spends too much

Isn’t this just a further waste of time and taxpayers’ money? The Halalt want reasonable assurances their tap is not going to run dry. Chemainus wants a safe, reliable water supply. Neither group wants to, or needs to, hurt the other to achieve its aims. Take this out of the courts and leave it in the hands of local people to make a fair deal for both sides.

AN EXPERIMENT OF ONE

money. But, a MAG won’t solve that issue. Spending and taxation levels are political matters that voters can pass judgement on at election time. If enough people think the municipal tax take is too large, they should tell elected people what spending they want cut, and then not bitch about reduced services. Victoria already exercises much control over local governments. The Inspector of Municipalities can act on complaints and review any local matter the inspector wishes. The Of!ce of the Ombudsman has authority to investigate local government. And, local governments are subject to Freedom of Information requests. The point is that the provincial government can and does have it !ngers in all manner of local government activities. CVRD chairwoman Gerry Giles says: “Show me the problem and I’d be more than willing to

work on !nding a solution.” Her comment is echoed by North Cowichan Mayor Tom Walker, who says: “I don’t see where there is a problem.” Walker says his council will look at the issue at next week’s meeting. I think Communities Minister Ida Chong could be in for a cool reception at the UBCM session in Vancouver, where she will likely get some heated feedback from delegates. The same goes for Premier Christy Clark, who will address the meeting prior to its close. If constantly increasing municipal taxes is the problem, that is political. There is nothing that a Municipal Auditor General can or should do about that. Patrick Hrushowy writes every Friday in the News Leader Pictorial. Email him at phrushowy@shaw.ca

Private townhouses a mistake on the Mill Bay waterfront

Smart meters come with way too many questions to accept in our homes

Dear editor At 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Kerry Park Recreation Centre, the Cowichan Valley Regional District is holding what could be the !nal public hearing to rezone the Mill Bay Marina property to allow 14 private, luxury townhouses. The developer has offered back a small public walkway along the private property waterfront. This private project is a potential great loss for the Mill Bay and greater Cowichan Valley communities. This area would be a great spot for a public park, waterfront walkway, and public marina. So many communities are trying to take back their waterfront, why would CVRD directors turn this over to private use? Eco-friendly, community health-supporting areas are a growing attraction to all Vancouver Island communities. Look at the great success of Transfer Beach and docks in Ladysmith. Crofton, Chemainus, Cowichan Bay have all been reclaiming their waterfront areas in recent years. Victoria is an attractive city for residents and visitors in part due to their extensive preservation of many parks and pathways – many of which are along the hugely popular waterfront areas (Dallas Road, Willows Beach, Cattle Point, West Bay Marina and walkway, Inner Harbour to name just a few). There are so many ways this particular area of Mill Bay could be used for community events — perhaps July 1 !reworks staged off a barge in the bay or a Christmas boat sail pass to name just two. The attraction bene!ts the closeby Mill Bay commercial areas too. We need to keep this area zoned Tourist Recreational Commercial and keep it for community use. E. Manson

Three more reasons to remember the old King’s Daughters’ Hospital Bundles of joy: Remembering the children who made Hazel Ball Mother of the Year Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

G

ood things that normally come in threes for everyone else just happened to occur all at once to Duncan’s Ball family. Of all the signi!cant events in the history of the former King’s Daughters’ Hospital in Duncan, the birth of the Ball triplets in 1960 stands out. Multiple births have become more common with the development of fertility drugs, but were rare in those days. A display at the Cowichan Valley Museum that runs until Sept. 15 commemorates the centennial of KDH, previously situated where Cairnsmore Place sits today. Bessie Maitland-Dougall was the driving force in bringing medical care to the people of the valley in the late 19th century. “By forming a Cowichan chapter of the International Order of the King’s Daughters, a society dedicated to improving people’s lives, Bessie’s efforts culminated in the opening of Duncan’s

!rst hospital on April 4, 1911,’’ noted Kathryn Gagnon, the curator of the Cowichan Valley Museum and Archives. When Joe and Hazel Ball welcomed Bill, Sandra and Peter into the world, it was big news around town, making the social pages of the Cowichan Leader where Hazel was hailed as Mother of the Year. “We had all sorts of people interested in it,’’ said Joe Ball, who turns 85 in October and still lives in the valley. There turned out to be an ironic twist to the triplet saga. “Peter Postuk Sr, the father, delivered the children, along with several other doctors,’’ pointed out Joe. Many years later, Postuk’s son Peter Jr. — who still has a medical practice in Lake Cowichan — and his wife had triplets. The original fuss about the Balls started well before Hazel went to the hospital. The Balls had made a trip to the Calgary Stampede in July of 1960 and got the news upon their return from Postuk Sr. “He sat us both down, we looked at each other and started to laugh,’’

recalled Joe. “You’ve never seen such a relieved doctor in all your life.’’ The babies were born on Sept. 30, 1960. Sandra weighed four pounds, !ve and three-quarter ounces, Peter four pounds, three and three-quarter ounces and Bill three pounds, 14 ounces. Hazel was in hospital the standard !ve or six days before heading home to an adoring public. “The gifts from the folks in Duncan, some of them were quite long-lasting,’’ said Joe. Many individuals also came forward to offer their assistance. The whole experience left Joe and Hazel with a great admiration for the way they were treated. “I would say the King’s Daughters’ Hospital had a whole lot of very committed people — doctors and nurses,’’ said Joe. The triplets celebrated their 50th birthday last September. “The three of them were very much alike, but they took three different paths,’’ said Joe. Unfortunately, Sandra died earlier this year from a bowel condition. Bill is a Presbyterian minister in Ottawa and

Triplets Bill, Sandra and Peter Ball enjoyed a birthday celebration in Ottawa last year, 50 years after cuddling with mom Hazel in King’s Daughters’ Hospital. Peter is currently serving in Afghanistan doing training development. “What I remember most growing up was the fuss that was made,’’ said Bill when contacted in Ottawa. “When a child grows up with something, you expect that’s normal. “At various points we’d have someone come by and want to take a picture or do this or that. “To a degree, it is what it is. I’ve not known anything else. I was in university before I had a bedroom to myself.

It’s a very different way of growing up. I never knew a moment alone from the moment we were in the womb. Even there, there were two other people.’’ Joe and Hazel, who turns 84 in December, will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary in November. They have two other children, Joe Jr. and Sharon.

Environmentally Friendly “Green” Cabinetry

2,500 was saved today. That’s according to CVRD environmental buffs Bob McDonald and Rob Williams. The duo were quite thrilled to show off a small pallet of polystyrene, otherwise known as the branded product Styrofoam, getting ready for shipment Wednesday. McDonald and Williams strategically placed the pile of condensed foam next to a massive machine, ready to truck a 26 metric tonne load. But thanks to the regional district’s fancy foam thermal densi!er, the !nal product on the small pallet, which looked miniscule compared to the machine, was nothing compared to what, if hadn’t been condensed, could have easily jam-packed the trailer. “It’s a 90-1 ratio,” McDonald said. The polystyrene processor machine is currently busy packing foam at the CVRD’s Bings Creek site. Environmental affairs consultant Craig Fos-

Thank You

to our Organics Program Participants My name is Chad Stuart and I work for BFI in the Cowichan Valley. I would like to extend an offer to all of our existing customers and to any place of business who would like to see if their establishment can divert more waste from our landfills. Our programs for recycling and organic collections are easy to implement and use. BFI Canada is actively helping support our government’s diversion goals of 50% of waste to recycling. We would like to evaluate what your current programs are for diverting recycling and organics from the landfill, and make some recommendations how we can help you divert more waste from the landfill. BFI is a Progressive Waste Solutions Company that strives itself as a leader in the recycling and organics industry. BFI Canada owns and operates two large recycling facilities on Vancouver Island; we also own and operate the recycling facility in Duncan where the majority of the recycling produced in the Cowichan Valley gets sorted, baled and sent back out to market. Let’s divert organics and recycling from the Landfills; together we can make a difference and create a sustainable future. We would like to congratulate the Pioneer House Restaurant in Duncan. They are now among the leaders in the community with their new complete organics program adding to their current recycling and waste program. Good Job!!! Along with the Pioneer House, BFI would like to congratulate The White Spot, The Dog House and all four Tim Hortons for their continued leadership in the organics program as well as their ongoing commitment to the recycling program here in the Cowichan Valley. Way to go guys!!! Job well done. I can be reached at 250-715-0955 for a free consultation to see what we can divert away from the landfill.

1953: !res

1953: roads

DATELINE: COWICHAN

Municipal workers were widening 2 ½ miles of Maple Bay Road from the foot of the former G. O. Day property continuing east to a point near the foot of Elkington’s hill. A number of corners were being removed and visibility improved.

by Ann Andersen

1953: yachts

The valley lost one of its revenue producers when the plant of Evans Lumber Co., Cowichan Lake Road, was razed by fire of unknown origin. Loss was estimated at close to $100,000, and insurance was carried.

George Maggs hosted more than 50 Maple Bay Yacht Club members and guests at Tent Island for the annual fleet captain’s picnic. Mrs. H. Horton won the women’s swimming event and George Seymour the men’s.

Going to the polls in summertime Dateline 1953: 1953: CCFer wins a hot election race Ann Andersen

News Leader Pictorial

I

magine the uproar if a federal election were to take place in August, that most sacrosanct month of all summer months when politicians and unelected alike take family holidays or travel the circuit of summer festivals. But that’s exactly what happened in August 1953 when veteran CCF-er Colin Cameron, who’d spent eight years as an MP before going down to defeat in 1949, ran again for of!ce. In the large Nanaimo riding that included the Cowichan Valley, Cameron was up against Deane Finlayson, Progressive Conservative; Liberal Gavin Mouat; Social Credit nominee Leonard Hodgson; and Ernie Knott, Labour Progressive. Finlayson, a veteran of The First World War and leader of the provincial Progressive Conservatives, had lost his seat in Oak Bay two months earlier. Mouat was a veteran of The Second World War and had been awarded the Military Medal. Newbie Hodgson’s claim to fame was that he had been the youngest Warrant Of!cer Class 1 in the Second World War. Knott, another war veteran, was a founding member of the labour council. When it was all over, Cameron had won by a very comfortable 2,000 votes over closest rival Mouat, who garnered 4,816 ballots.

Pictures of the Past

Kaatza Station Museum and Archives

The motor launch, Joanola, transported Caycuse school students across the eight mile stretch of water to Wardroper, where they caught the Speeder to Youbou, then a bus ride to school at Lake Cowichan. The Blue Flash was purchased in 1934, later replaced by the Joanola, which was eventually replaced by the mahogany speedboat, the Surf King. All three boats plied the waters of Cowichan Lake for many years. —We want your historical photos of Cowichan people and places.

Fiddling with some picking as string duo plays Shady Grove

Got little people with big appetites?

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

F

iddle meets guitar frets as Pierre Schryer with Adam Dobres bring their impressive string talent to Peter Sussman’s house concert Saturday in south Cowichan. Fiddler Schryer is part of Canada’s vibrant Franco-Ontarian culture, having a life immersed in the music and traditions of his heritage. As a solo performer Schryer has received numerous titles and awards including Canadian Open Fiddle Champion, Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Champion, Violoneux Championnat, and North American Irish Fiddle Champion. “Pierre truly captivates audiences with his energy, genuine warmth, and "awless ability in any style from Irish, Scottish and Québecois, to Canadian, American, or swing,” his bio states. “Pierre’s music lifts the heart with its precision and proud humour,” said Mícheál O Súilleabháin of the Irish World Music Centre at Limerick University, Ireland “It takes you expertly by the hand on a journey through the many accents in at the heart of the Canadian !ddle tradition.” Now add Dobres. His bio states music is part of his lineage — his grandfather was a master violinist, his father managed a band in England, and encouraged Dobres to play many different styles.

It’s amazing how quickly a growing family goes through groceries.

Pierre Schryer performs Saturday in Mill Bay. Starting at age 15, his interest in jazz became a passion, morphing into his propensity for any musical style that moves him: Celtic, old country, blues, folk, and bluegrass — even death metal. Dobres paid dues with groups spanning Moody, Penner & Swain, and The Seams, to !ddler Daniel Lapp and country-rocker Ridley Bent. Your ticket What: Pierre Schryer with Adam Dobres When: Aug. 27, 7 p.m. Where: Shady Grove at the Sussmans’ Tickets: $15. Paid reservations required. Call 250-929-8226.

owichan folk are being offered the chance to feast on Victoria’s Vox Humana choir’s season opener Sunday. The capital city’s premier chamber group, conducted by Brian Wismath, plays the Sylvan United Church in Mill Bay. The ensemble, which swiped its name from the Latin phrase for ‘human voice,’ plans to perform a platform of its up-andcoming 2011-2012 season, including works by Jeff Enns, Cesar Geoffray, Carlo Gesualdo, Orlando di Lasso, Palestrina, Toivo Tulev, and Urmas Sisask. “Vox has delighted audiences with the highest quality performances of medieval to contemporary 21st century works and is sought after by various instrumental ensembles in Victoria,” the group’s promotional material reads. “Vox has performed with the Victoria Symphony, the Galiano Ensemble, the Renaissance wind band A Great Noyse, guitarist Alexander Dunn, organist Nick Fairbank, and pianists Tony Booker and Allie Cortens.” Vox is also pumped it’s been invited to record the soundtrack for the TV documentary Captain Cook: Obsession and Discovery, a co-production of ABC TV (Australia), Sky Network New Zealand, and Canada’s History Television and scored by Victoria composer Tobin Strokes. “Currently a 24 member performing force, artists in the ensemble bring a wealth of choral expertise and musical vision,” the release states. Wismath, also the director for the Victoria Conservatory of Music Chorale and the University of Victoria Chamber Singers, brings to Cowichan heaps of experience and education. He’s studied conducting in Canada, the United States and Sweden.

owichan, expect a triple score of musical genius Sunday. And you can thank organizers of the annual Victoria Summer Choir Concert — set for 3 p.m. Aug. 28 at the Duncan United Church — for that. On the roster for Sunday’s sing off, which promises to include everything from baroque to modern, folksongs and popular music, are guest artists baritone Bernard Turgeon, “high lyric coloratura” Melina Moore and the sizzling Sunny Shams. Cowichan folk were warned last summer their souls would be

touched during the VSCC’s annual show, titled Touching My Soul. This time around, the group’s summer sing-alongs are all about love, organizers say. Maestro Simon Leung leads the VSCC through this performance as musical director, along with Turgeon, Moore and Shams, plus all 30 choir soloists and the string orchestra. “Bernard Turgeon has been described as ‘a living music legend’ and has performed throughout Canada and the United States, Great Britain, Europe, and the former U.S.S.R.,” the VCSS promo material states. “He captivates his audience with his distinguished stage presence and voice.” Next on the docket, Juilliard

while, is described as a “multitalented… future star.” The tenor performs Sunday in Cowichan with the rest of the gang, but has also scheduled dates with the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions as well as a debut show with the Victoria Symphony in their Royal Tea: the Romantic Tenor show March 14. “The concert in Duncan promises Melina Moore is one of three vocalists to be of the highest calibre, full of fun and laughter, but above all, featured Sunday in Duncan. ‘love,’” the release states. graduate Moore is billed as a “dynamic and versatile acrobat Your ticket of voice, who loves to sing music What: The Victoria Summer from all genres, from operatic Choir to Broadway, including her own When: 3 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 28 arrangements of Hebrew, Yiddish Where: Duncan United Church and Russian folk songs.” Tickets: $20 at Volume One Sidney youngster Shams, meanBookstore, call 250-360-0356 ARE YOUR DENTURES: loose cracked, worn over 5 years old in your pocket Edie Wragg Denturist Level

emories of skipping school surface when Listening Party’s Trenton McLaren talks about the Rock of the Woods festival at Bamberton. He remembers cutting classes at Frances Kelsey with Listening Party bandmate Lindy Gerrard, and hanging out at the old cement factory instead. “We always talked about how it’d be such a rad place to put on a show,” says McLaren. That was before they formed the band, before they toured with groups like Wolf Parade and Wintersleep, and long before they were asked to perform at their hometown’s premier rock festival at that very site. Fast forward to 2011. Rock of the Woods starts today and includes headliners Plants and Animals and Chad VanGaalen, plus tons of up-and-coming acts — many with Cowichan connections. “I just saw a really great opportunity to inject some life into the Cowichan Valley that wasn’t just based in Duncan,” said organizer Dave Bain, another Frances Kelsey product. “All the bands are News Leader the next wave of what Pictorial readers remember we’re going to be see- may Bain’s unsuccessing in rock music.” ful attempt to get the festival greenlit locally last summer. This year, he got a headstart on planning plus plenty of community support. And now the festival is here. “All the bands are the next wave of what we’re going to be seeing in rock music,” said Bain, “and I think just that by itself is lending a hand to supporting a new arts and culture community within the Cowichan Valley.”

After all, the valley has produced some of rock’s best musicians of this generation. “I know some of the guys from Black Mountain and Wolf Parade will be attending, because they’re interested in seeing something coming out of their own community,” Bain said. Local musicians agree there’s a connection between growing up in Cowichan and artistic expression. “I don’t know what it is, but I totally believe that to be true,” said Dante DeCaro, a member of Wolf Parade who performs with his band Johnny and the Moon Friday night. “I think it’s a pretty cool place to grow up, and an encouraging atmosphere.” It shows in the music, too. “When people who grew up here listen to our !rst album, they say, ‘Holy shit. You de!ned Shawnigan Lake,’” said McLaren, who also went to school with DeCaro. “It does come across in a lot of people’s music, like Johnny and the Moon and all the bands in our generation that grew up together and went to the same shows. “De!nitely growing up around really good musicians makes you realize it’s not impossible to try it yourself,” he added. And perhaps Rock of the Woods will inspire the next generation of musicians, with more than a dozen bands taking the outdoor stage on Friday and Saturday nights.

McLean followed Bird’s lead to win his heat race and placed second in the main event. Unfortunately, some of Bird’s problems returned last weekend in the Daffodil Cup competition at Victoria’s Western Speedway. He was part of a spectacular airborne crash into the wall last Friday night. Remarkably, the crew got his car all put back together in time for Saturday night racing. Bird wasn’t hurt in the crash.

Cowichan cricket: Victoria ground proves troublesome for some unknown reason Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

C

owichan players are actually thrilled about only being scheduled for one Victoria and District Cricket Association game at St. Michael’s University School this season. The ground has not been lucky over the years, according to longtime Cowichan club member Howard Martin. Sunday’s match at SMUS against Incogs continued the trend. For some odd reason, Cowichan’s combination of bowling and !elding ranked among the worst of the season. Incogs batted !rst and struggled to 76 for two after 22 overs, but Cowichan missed three catches that turned out to be costly. Incogs’ Dirk Pritchard and Tim French punished the bowling in the second half of the innings. The Cowichan bowling became more erratic and lacked line and length, re"ected in 36 wides. Pritchard, whom Cowichan had a chance to eliminate

Clayton Bodkyn and his Cowichan teammates will try to rebound against Alcos after a loss to Incogs. early, went on to score 93 not out and was the key to the Incogs compiling 220 for six at the end of the 45 overs. Brent Johns took two for 16 for the best statistics of the Cowichan bowlers. Cowichan has relied on its batsmen to dig the team out of some tight spots, but it didn’t happen this time. Only Vivek Tiwari with 38 and Clayton Bodkyn with 29 reached double !gures in Cowichan’s paltry total of 110 all out. Cowichan remains in third place in the standings despite the result. The team’s next game is Sunday at Shawnigan Lake against last-place Alcos.

Proteau’s experience too tough to match Mount Brenton: Ladies’ tournament features a sizzling Sunday start for Stouffer and Iverson’s hole-in-one Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

C Don Bodger

Shooting from the sand are Mount Brenton’s Darleen Michell, above, and Judy Hook, below.

hristina Proteau of the Alberni Golf Club used her considerable experience to top the !eld in the annual Mount Brenton Golf Course ladies’ amateur tournament. Proteau opened with a 69 Saturday and, despite falling back a bit to 74 Sunday, still won the low gross championship handily with a 36-hole total of 143. Runner-up Shelly Stouffer of Fairwinds was a whopping nine shots back at 152, but went on an amazing run Sunday to start the second round. Stouffer birdied six of the !rst seven holes before her superhuman play ran out. She birdied No. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and had a par on three, but then ran into trouble and carded a seven on No. 8 and a bogey six on No. 9. “It was unbelievable to watch,’’ said Rick Michell, who was caddying for his wife Darleen in the !nal group and had a !rst-hand look at her !ne play. Stouffer improved to a 73 after a 79 Saturday. Rounding out the top !ve were: Judy Hook of Morningstar at 161, Janet Ruest of Cordova Bay at 163 and Cottonwood’s Georgina Hermans at 164. Darleen Michell of Mount Bren-

ton, who played in the last group with Proteau, Stouffer and Hook, !nished sixth in low gross at 169. Hook was second after the !rst round with a 77 but had an 84 Sunday. Michell bagged an 81 to reach the top four Saturday and !nished with an 88. Sue Ovans of Cordova Bay checked in at 171, Squamish’s Kathy Ban!eld came in at 172, Connie Dykstra from Cordova Bay was at 173, Connie Hang of Point Grey joined Mount Brenton’s Gail Slater at 174 and young Emily Adams and Marg Clancy of Mount Brenton were one back at 175. Slater was also the low net winner with a 144. There was some additional excitement Sunday when Melanie Iverson of Salt Spring Island had a hole-in-one on No. 11. As a result, Iverson won a new golf cart from Oak Creek Golf and Turf. Ironically, she had just purchased a new cart two weeks ago. Iverson did some bargaining before she got off the course to sell that one. A total of 61 players participated. They enjoyed ideal conditions, particularly Sunday when it cooled off slightly from Saturday’s afternoon round. Next up is the men’s amateur tournament Sept. 10 and 11.

So rather than breaking skills into narrow bands and using a pass/fail approach, Sears I Can Swim groups competencies into four main Learning Stages that let children learn individual skills at their own pace.

Ladies’ lawn bowling: Singles title requires victories over Locke and Grant to become a reality Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

I

t was the women’s turn to shine in the competition spotlight during a busy month at the Cowichan Lawn Bowling Club. Ten women contested the title in the women’s singles competition and Phyl Ingram emerged as the winner, with Betty Locke the runner-up. The tournament was played over two days last Thursday and Friday. “They played !ve games in a random draw,’’ explained David Gardner, who coordinated the event. Three games were played the !rst day and two the second. The matches either went to 15 points or ended after an hour and a half time limit, whichever came !rst. “A lot of the events went the full hour and a half,’’ said Gardner. The top two players then went into the !nal. Hazel Grant went into the competition as the two-time defending champion. On the way to the !nal, Ingram had to beat Grant and she succeeded.

The !nal was a very competitive game between Ingram and Locke, who has also won the event on two previous occasions. “The ladies are getting increasingly more competitive,’’ said Gardner. “There’s enough new members who are good bowlers who have joined the club.’’ Ingram will now represent the Cowichan club in the Champ of Champions event in Victoria where she will play against club champions from the 10 lawn bowling clubs in the Victoria area. The club went right into a battle of the sexes competition Wednesday that’s always loads of fun in the bid for bragging rights. Next up at Cowichan are the men, who take their turn competing for club singles honours. The two-day men’s event takes place Monday and Tuesday. After that, it’s on to the mixed pairs competition next Thursday and Friday to kick off club events in September. Club activities continue throughout September, including a Labour Day jitney. Closing day is Sept. 25. Check out all the club events at www. lawnbowlsduncan.com.

owichan Golf and Country Club ladies’ division members braved potential grave consequences to play a Tombstone round. The only two survivors were Carol Willan and Sandy Riecken. Jeanne Wilkinson carded the only birdie of the day on No. 13. She also claimed closest-to-the-pin honours on No. 15. Closest to the pin on No. 8 was Doreen White. • Valley athlete Denesha Doman has spent a considerable amount of time in Alberta during the past year and managed to transition onto new ice hockey teams in the province. She also made the Alberta Under 18 team for !eld hockey. Unfortunately, she suffered an injury during the national tournament and wasn’t able to complete it. • It was a great season for the Cowichan Valley Lacrosse Association, as many teams made it into provincial tournaments. Eric Johnson’s Bantam C1 squad was one of them and didn’t fare too well at the provincials, but the players gained valuable experience. Seven players were new. Johnson’s goal as a !rst-year head coach was to show the kids the love of the game.
