court ruling Wednesday means Chemainus residents probably won’t be tapping groundwater from the Chemainus Water Wells system this fall without Halalt First Nation approval. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Wedge’s landmark 178-page ruling stops use of the wells, and supports Halalt demands for more consultation about municipal use of the Chemainus River aquifer. She orders more talks between the Halalt and North Cowichan and the province prior to the taps being turned back on. Chief James Thomas and North Cowichan Mayor Tom Walker were still consulting with their lawyers Thursday, and had no idea when talks would resume. “The sooner the better,” Thomas told the News Leader Pictorial yesterday. “The municipality will be knocking on our door. This ruling changes everything.” Walker said he respects the Halalt, and Wedge’s ruling. However, he wouldn’t speculate about the band’s bid to essentially control well taps if it becomes concerned their use is negatively affecting folks on reserve, or ¿sh habitat. “I’m interested in hearing from the province and the environmental assessment of¿ce,” Walker said. The EAO issued North Cowichan’s well permit in 2009 without properly consulting Halalt elders about their Aboriginal resource rights, according to Wedge’s ruling concerning the municipal drinkingwater supply source adjacent the Halalt’s Westholme reserve. Walker’s council now sits in the middle of talks between the province and the Halalt, while Chemainus’ aquifer access is

in limbo. “We do have some time,” he said of talks sure to occur before the fall. North Cowichan’s $5.7-million wells are on a scheduled summer break, but had been primed to be turned again on this October. First turned on in 2010, the wells supplied Chemainus with water during the winter, replacing an old system plagued with boil-water orders and turbidity issues. But Thomas cites Wedge while explaining in a press release how Chemainiacs won’t be deprived of water James Thomas: during the courtchanges everything ordered talks. “They are currently receiving potable water from the surface water supply during the summer months under the terms of the certi¿cate.” It’s unclear what the province must do to satisfy the necessity of adequate consultation, or what has to happen before North Cowichan can use its wells again. “I’m still committed to working with the Halalt on this and other issues like sewer and ¿re service,” said Walker. Thomas welcomed the court’s decision. He states his people have a strong case for Aboriginal title regarding their traditional territory on the Chemainus River. “We’re holding the reins now. But you can’t ask for the sky. “The number-one thing is protection of our water resource — it wasn’t about money. “The judge said the First Nation has an arguable legal case for an ownership interest in the Chemainus aquifer, most of which underlies the reserve,” his release says. North Cowichan council ¿rst applied for the project’s environmental certi¿cate in 2003. The Halalt launched legal action in September 2009, and erected peaceful roadblocks on their reserve for weeks in 2010. After 23 days of oral hearing, legal arguments ended in November 2010.

One of the “secret” ingredients for a long, healthy life is more of a psychological one. It is how meaningful and manageable you feel your life is. Retirees often face a void after a lifetime of work. Getting up in the morning with a plan for your day is an important part of this secret. Other secrets include not smoking, drinking alcohol moderately and daily physical activity. Photoaging is the premature aging of the skin caused by repeated exposure to sunlight. Signs of photoaging are brownish “liver” spots on the face, hands, chest and shoulders, leathery, sagging skin, wrinkles around the eyes and mouth which makes people look older than they really are. Sun yourself moderately and responsibly. The majority of people who quit smoking successfully do it cold turkey. If you do decide to do it this way, share this goal with everyone who

knows you. It will add stimulus to your decision to quit and your friends’ encouragement and support will help you succeed.

Man caught in hotel room in possession of stolen goods
A Duncan man is in custody after being caught red-handed with stolen property during Wednesday’s police bust at the Fuller Lake Motel. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP’s streetcrime unit located the male on outstanding warrants, said Cpl. Kevin Day. “Upon entry, police found a large amount of
stolen property, some of which was identified with a recent break-and-enter at Versatile Helicopters Industries in Chemainus.” A Honda generator, a large red tool chest with tools, electronic equipment, jewelry, snorkeling gear, and an Acer laptop were recovered by the cops now trying to find the owners of the stolen stuff.
Valley on alert for invasion of noxious weeds Aliens on the march: toxic plant warning issued Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
D
angerous alien plants have invaded Cowichan. And locals are warned against unknowingly handling, cutting or burning giant hogweed and poison hemlock plants spreading across the valley. “I’ve seen poison hemlock in various location this year where I hadn’t noticed it before, and the same for hogweed,” said south-end resident Margaret Symon, a Shawnigan Lake and South Cowichan parks commission member. “It’s a concern in our parks.” Hogweed sap can burn folks who touch it. Its poisonous droplets may also cause blindness if the substance enters the eye. Hemlock, meanwhile, can be deadly if eaten. Symon’s medical concerns are insult to the injury of the wily weeds’ seeds entering Cowichan, and elsewhere, where they’re not native species. “It seems poison hemlock was introduced in some (local) areas with land¿ll imported from Victoria,” she said. Other imported plant scourges — including Scotch broom — are spreading quickly and permanently, but these two are of particular concern because the are invasive and poisonous, Symon. “Some children in Shawnigan Beach Estates who touched hogweed last year got quite a rash,” she said. Regional environmental manager Kate Miller called hogweed extremely dangerous. Noxious hogweed looks like the smaller, native cow parsnip, she said, so residents should know the difference before removing the plants. Removal tips are found at http://
Cowichan News Leader Pictorial A3 The 44-year-old suspect cannot be named until charges are laid regarding various offences, including breaches of his court-ordered conditions, plus charges regarding the stolen goods, Day said. Property owners can call the RCMP at 250748-5522.

Citizens urged to know law before opening door to ‘census takers’ Peter W. Rusland

Shawnigan Lake kids Cheyenne Chamberlain, 11, and brother Cody, 10, are among the locals being urged to stay away from the giant hogweed lining the TransCanada Trail south of Shawnigan Lake, behind them. The potentially dangerous invasive species can be found in many Cowichan locations. www.maine.gov/agriculture/pi/pestsurvey/pestinfo/documents/ghcontrolbrochure.pdf. The earlier-blooming cow parsnip can reach about six feet with dinner plate-size Àowerheads — hogweed can grow to 10 feet with three-foot diameter Àowerheads. Knowledge is power against hogweed and hemlock. “People need to know they can’t just cut these off and compost them,” Symon said. “The bottom line,” said Miller, “is this material should not be composted at home or in an industrial setting.” The plants should be treated as waste, double bagged and identi¿ed at regional waste transfer sites — such as Bings Creek — for dropping
into the middle of bins to avoid any human contact or potential seed distribution, she explained. Shawnigan Beach Estate resident Jean Saville said she wore gloves and a winter coat while yanking and bagging hemlock from her neighbourhood. “If people are chopping this stuff down, and toddling off to the compost with it, that’s not good.” She’s also seen hogweed growing on regional land along ShawniganMill Bay Road, plus hemlock in Mill Bay’s Sentinel Ridge and in the Beach Estates. The Cowichan Valley Regional District manages noxious plant infestations in parks and public land, but staff is unable to remove or treat plants on private property, Miller
noted. The Coastal Invasive Plant Committee’s noxious weed list is being updated to include hogweed, hemlock and many other species, she added. The CVRD is also working with the CIPC to gain funding for pulling plants from Cowichan’s public road right-of-ways and parks, Miller explained. She’s also concerned about economic harm of invasives affecting Cowichan’s infrastructure as regional directors wrestle with eradication budgets. “The CVRD can’t spend money on issues the public hasn’t speci¿cally asked for,” she said. For more, call the CVRD at 250-746-2500, or visit http://www. coastalinvasiveplants.com.
eople may be posing as census takers and targeting Cowichan homeowners, so police advise locals to report any suspicious visits. “If this (activity) is of concern to people who think individuals are trying to obtain information fraudulently, call the RCMP so an investigation can be conducted,” said Cpl. Kevin Day of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP. His advice follows last week’s report to the News Leader Pictorial about a lone male who visited a home in The Properties on Wednesday. A resident said the man in his late ¿fties claimed to be visiting to help the family complete Canada’s National Household Survey. He was carrying ¿ve of copies of the NHS. But the locals said they’d completed the short-form census online, and told the guy the NHS is voluntary. The man did not show photo ID from StatsCan, the local said. StatsCan staff con¿rmed the household survey is voluntary, and bona ¿de federal staff carry photo ID. Also, folks who hadn’t completed the census by June 30 — a mandatory deadline for all Canadians — would be called before a staffer legally visits. “An enumerator will attend your home to obtain a response if enumeration staff are unable to reach you by phone,” a StatsCan employee told the News Leader Pictorial. The Properties folks said they hadn’t been called but were suspicious of the man who had dark curly hair and glasses, and drove a brown car. The locals did not let the man into their home. Meanwhile, StatsCan said refusal to complete a census form could result in federal action and/ or ¿nes. Call StatsCan is at 1-877-777-2011 or visit census2011.gc.ca. The RCMP can be called at 250-748-5522.

fter more than ¿ve years, the mega-South Cowichan Of¿cial Community Plan has been given the thumbs up. But some south end residents’ thumbs are down on the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s approval of a combined plan for mapping the future of Mill Bay, Shawnigan Lake, and Cobble Hill. The CVRD OK’d the 10-year document Wednesday night at its board meeting. Some who expressed concerns felt the document had been rushed. CVRD board chairwoman Gerry Giles, however, didn’t think the ¿ve years spent by the 22 members of the OCP steering committee polishing the plan quali¿ed as “rushed.” She and other directors were quite tickled with the document, which boasts its own heritage conservancy section. “The heritage component of it recognizes the unique history that has brought each community to where it is today and I’m absolutely thrilled that we’ve recognized that heritage plays an important role in the creation and sustaining a community,” Giles has said. Heritage jewels, aside, the document delves into a number of general principles, goals and visions. An OCP is a community plan that
guides development and land use for the next 10 years and beyond. The draft contains four parts: a main document and a section for each area (Cobble Hill, Shawnigan Lake and Mill Bay). Sahtlam/Glenora Director Loren Duncan reminded the board of the long road ahead, as the CVRD will have to go through a lengthy process of bringing its zoning bylaws in line with the OCP policies and procedures. Cobble Hill resident Joseph Gollner made his concerns about the OCP public at the June 27 public hearing. Some of his qualms included CVRD plans to purchase south-end sewer systems and lack of information on the costs and future tax increases related to that. He was also concerned with how dif¿cult the document is to understand for the average Joe. “It’s virtually incomprehensible for anyone than a trained planner to follow, and probably by design,” he had said. “Why is this being shoved down our throat?” But Giles, along with directors Brian Harrison (Mill Bay) and Ken Cossey (Shawnigan Lake), thanked the committee members. “The dedication and commitment to community they showed to me was absolutely incredible,” Giles said. “I think they are to be absolutely commended by this board and citizens in the South Cowichan area.”

CVRD has three weeks to respond from A1
The CVRD has said it has a legal opinion that contradicts that position, but refused to make that opinion public. CT Group members Dara Quast and Cliff Evans dropped off the legal documentation Wednesday at CVRD headquarters. CVRD chairwoman Giles Giles con¿rmed the district has received the writ, but hadn’t had time to read it. “The CVRD will be reviewing (it) very carefully and will provide a full response in due time,” she said. The district has 21 days to make a legal response. The legal action isn’t about suing the CVRD for cash, Gollner said. It’s about forcing the CVRD to pull the plug on the proposal. “There won’t be any talk about the site itself. It’ll be a straight legality issue.” The injunction at Supreme Court level is expected to cost the group between $22,000 and $25,000. The plaintiffs are being represented by Victoria ¿rm Cox, Taylor. “If the court ¿nds the (case) is sound, then the CVRD cannot develop the site until such time as they change their OCP and the next step would that they would have to change all their zoning bylaws,” Gollner said. “I keep asking myself and others, if the CVRD has the right to proceed, one would have thought the place would have been up and running.”

W
ednesday’s Cowichan Valley Regional District board meeting was scheduled to be about issues like cell phone towers and of¿cial community plans. Instead, it was dominated by an incident that raised questions of public watchdogs and muzzles. Friends of Saanich Inlet chairman Balu Tatachari was eventually asked by security to leave after he repeatedly disrupted proceedings by walking to the podium and yelling
Ashley Degraaf/¿le
Balu Tatchari, right, successfully spearheaded a campaign to quash funding for the Mill Bay/Malahat Historical Society last fall. comments from the gallery about democracy and due process during board discussion about unrelated issues. Tatachari, a regular spectator at board meetings, was asked on several occasions by CVRD corporate secretary Joe Barry and chairwoman Gerry Giles to take a seat, after more than one attempt to take
over the podium. He was egged on by some gallery members, who yelled, snickered, and heckled directors during what normally would have been a fairly non-controversial session. Giles eventually called a 10-minute break in the proceedings, while security was called upstairs to join staff in coaxing
Tatachari to either to leave or just sit down. He didn’t leave, but eventually sat and remained quiet until question period. At that point he asked Barry to read out the CVRD’s new formalized question period policy. After Barry did, Tatachari immediately broke the policy’s guidelines and was again urged to wrap up. “Mr. Tatachari, you are being exceptionally disrespectful,” a frazzledlooking Giles said. Tatachari has repeatedly criticized the CVRD in person and via email, accusing the district of procedural irregularities and autocratic behaviour. His most recent concerns centred around what he is calling the sanitized minutes of the South Cowichan Of¿cial Community Plan public hearing.

Restaurateur turns highway rescuer After deer hit on Malahat: Driver hauls up biker who went over cliff

outh-Cowichan restaurateur Darren Cole turned Samaritan Monday while rescuing an injured Victoria biker whose motorcycle hit a deer near Goldstream Park. Dragging the unidenti¿ed rider — who said he had a broken leg — 15 feet up a cliff was a compassionate reaction for Cole. “It was just instinct,” the Steeples bistro owner told the News Leader Pictorial. “You go into a different mode. People just generally want to help other people in distress.” Such was the case when a deer leaped out of the bush at about 9:30 p.m. and into the path of the southbound Harley Davidson, explained Cole who was headed home to Langford. “I saw a deer come from the (east) creek side and gallop like a streak across the highway. “It ran right in front of the bike and became illuminated in its headlights. “I saw him hit it square on, and I freaked out,” Cole said. The deer was killed as the bike veered into oncoming traf¿c. “He missed all the cars coming toward him,” But the big Harley hit the shoulder “and I saw his headlights go off into the trees,” Cole said. “So I drove across the highway,

When he’s not rescuing injured motorcyclists, Darren Cole is serving meals in Shawnigan Lake threw my hazards on, got out and feared the worst, thinking ‘He’s dead. There’s an 80-foot cliff there and the bike went into the pitch darkness.’” Then Cole saw the Harley’s headlight shining up into the trees. “I shouted out and asked if he was OK. “He answered, ‘I think I broke my leg’ and I said ‘Don’t move.’ “He wanted me to go down and turn his bike’s headlights off.” Apparently the 59-year-old biker realized his Harley was headed over a cliff, so he jumped off just in time, reasoned Cole. The rider landed 15 feet down the embankment while his bike plunged farther. “He was a big guy, luckily wearing leather chaps and gloves — he was well protected.
“It was pretty steep and I couldn’t have lifted him anyway, so I grabbed his arm and pulled him up the cliff where there were other cars, and someone had called 911.” Ambulance paramedics tended the injured motorcyclist, then took him to Victoria hospital with what Westshore RCMP said were non-life threatening injuries. Staff Sgt. Danny Willis could not con¿rm if the biker had suffered a broken leg, and did not release his name. But Willis agreed the accident might have ended tragically. “If no one had seen him go down (the cliff), who knows how long he’d have been there?” Meanwhile, Cole was a modest hero. “Doing what I did just came naturally.”

Time to wake up to hidden invasion of enviro-predators Don’t get burned: More resources and attention required to halt spread of invasive species
T
he spectre of John Wyndham’s sci-¿ novel The Day Of The Trif¿ds has roots in reality here in Cowichan. Giant hogweed plants are sprouting like the author’s toxic trif¿ds. Hogweed sap can burn skin and even cause blindness if it enters an eye. Terrifying but true for families with kids, gardeners, and park staffers faced with identifying then removing our poisonous pests. Things will only get worse — medically, environmentally and economically — unless taxpayers demand local leadBeat the ers list — then kill — all alien species aliens back before it’s too late. Think valley-wide death squads for vermin spanning ubiquitous Scotch broom, to the giant American bullfrogs in Somenos Marsh. Sadly, hogweed, poison hemlock, rats, some squirrels and many other species are choking native Àora and fauna thanks to a lack of money and will to confront these silent scourges. Until alarm bells began ringing about acidic hogweed in recent years, folks simply yanked Scotch broom, morning glory, English ivy, gorse and other plants thriving here. Seeds were imported by unwitting people, or they hitched rides in trucks and pockets. But these and many other pests already cost us precious taxpayer dollars plus staff time to eradicate weeds and unwelcome wildlife. The only safe haven is likely the Cowichan Garry Oak Reserve where invasives were beaten by years of work parties. That kind of continual effort is needed now across Cowichan to gain control of even part of our invasive list. Meanwhile, don’t touch anything that looks alien — you might get burned.

Health officials have looked into the practice of having tiny fish nibbling on the toes of pedicure-seeking clients. And they have detemined there is a chance that the fish could spread infection from customer to customer. Reducing risk to public health is VIHA’s job. Let them do it.

New OCP protects forest and agriculture land Patrick Hrushowy
News Leader Pictorial
W
ith absolutely no fanfare the CVRD this week ushered in a new era in land use planning — at least for the south Cowichan region — with the ¿nal approval and adoption of an amended of¿cial community plan for the area. After an exten“(Forest land is) sive consultation and review process not a land bank for conducted during future residential an extended period, zoning and land use development.” in Mill May/Malahat, Shawinigan Lake and Cobble Hill will now be governed by an OCP that is strategically different from what has gone before.
Hrushowy
First, the three village centres in the area are now circumscribed by village containment boundaries that essentially require all new development must occur within those zones. The new OCP goes so far as to designate where, in each of the village containment zones, development can occur — including residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and agricultural uses. There is even designated provision for multi-family housing developments. The primary objective is “to establish wellde¿ned boundaries between those areas intended for urban growth and those protected for rural values.” And, to make sure people understand the seriousness with which the drafters of this OCP view this principle objective, the CVRD adopted an amendment to the draft OCP prior to giving it ¿nal approval. It read: “It will require a collective resolve from residents and the CVRD to uphold the
Crossing the street is risking business. As is getting behind the wheel of a car. Yet people do both all the time. There are no guarantees clients won’t pick up infections at Duncan’s Purple Orchid spa. Neither are there guarantees the same thing won’t happen in your doctor’s waiting room. The risk of toe-nibbling appears to be one people should be allowed to determine on their own.
AN EXPERIMENT OF ONE
OCP in the face of land use applications that would deplete the agricultural and forest resource base.” The new OCP goes on to describe a series of signi¿cant barriers to altering the Village Containment Boundaries. These include a measure that would require of a developer to make a park dedication totalling not less than 70 to 80 per cent of the lands subject to applications outside the containment boundaries. The new OCP also created a new zoning designation called Rural Resource that covers 72 per cent of the South Cowichan region, or about 38,600 hectares. This designation will preserve the forest land base and will provide for natural resource extraction, such as mining or aggregate resource extraction. Signi¿cantly, the OCP clearly says these resource lands are suitable for natural resource management, “and are not considered as a
land bank for future residential development.” The end of urban sprawl is the overall objective of this newly-amended OCP. Staff analysis also demonstrated there is more than enough already zoned and suitable land, both inside and outside the village containment boundaries, to meet forecasted housing needs for more than 15 years. Not everyone was onside with this OCP, especially the development industry. However, the implications of the plan are strategic and forest companies-come real estate sales organizations will have a rough time in South Cowichan for the foreseeable future.

Are there too many trafÄc circles in Cowichan? “There aren’t enough. They normalize traffic nicely. They need them where traffic patterns are uncertain. Using them is getting better as people learn to use them.”
“Overall, they’re good. What bothers me is the one at Sherman and Canada where I’m worried someone will just barrel right through.”

Teachers should learn their numbers better
Rebounding island economy among best in province
Dear editor Isn’t it amazing our schoolteachers don’t have any understanding of economics? In B.C., the average salary for a schoolteacher ranges from $71,831 in School District 20, Kootenay Columbia to $63,869 in School District 84, Vancouver Island West. In SD79 Cowichan Valley it is $69,510. Teachers work a total of 188 days, after all professional days, stat holidays, Christmas and spring breaks, and summer holidays are taken into account. You, on the other hand, will work 238 days after stat holidays and an average of 15 days vacation time are taken into account, at nowhere near teachers’ salaries. Now, is it fair that you the taxpayer should sweeten the teachers’ pay package with higher taxes? Joe Sawchuk

Effort launched to protect eelgrass gardens Survey underway: Group wants certain Cowichan Bay areas made off-limits to boating Ashley Degraaf
News Leader Pictorial
A
joint community project has been launched to help save Cowichan Bay’s favourite perennial plant.
Eelgrass. The dark green, ribbon-like safe-haven for many of the bay’s critters and crawlers has inspired the Cowichan Valley Regional District, Cowichan Tribes, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Transport Canada, RCMP, Living Rivers, and B.C. Wildlife Federation to join hands as partners in a protection venture. A federal regulated Vessel Operation Restriction Regulation (VORR),

which would see designated areas as off-limit to motorized vessels to eliminate activities such as prop scarring and anchoring, is what these groups are eyeing. But ¿rst they need your input. An online community survey has been issued as well as downloadable maps outlining proposed off-limit areas, which generally cover the areas north of the bay’s boat launch and adjacent to Kil-Pah-Las Beach. Saving eelgrass in the bay isn’t a new or unique undertaking. For years, Cowichan Land Trust group members have been wading the Cowichan Bay Estuary as part of restoration/transplanting projects. “It’s about the awareness we’ve created toward these stewardship

DATELINE: COWICHAN
by Ann Andersen
1953: baseball teams
1953: lumber queens
Just a week after local brass said it couldn’t be done, a senior baseball team made up entirely of Chemainus residents became a reality due to the hearty co-operation of local ball-players and community officials.
UBC student Kathie Burrows, 19, was chosen from a field of seven as the 1953 Cowichan Lumber Queen. During the evening event she was crowned by the previous year’s queen Joy Peterson.
1953: tourist scenes Mayor J. C. Wragg attended the official turning of the first sod for the new tourist office of Duncan Chamber of Commerce on leased city land at the south-west corner of the Trans-Canada Highway and Coronation Avenue.
Logging begins its goodbye to railway Dateline 1953: Local operations switch to trucks Ann Andersen

ike many others I miss the poignant sounds of the Dayliner passing through Duncan – 9:40 a.m. and 4:40 p.m. just aren’t the same without those repeating woooos. Despite laudable efforts and a recent dose of cash to save the elderly railway line, it makes you wonder if we’ve outlived practical passenger train service on the island. Fifty years ago, MacMillan & Bloedel realized transporting logs by railroad wasn’t practical. In July 1953 company crews were extra busy at Nanaimo River and Copper Canyon while those camps were converted from railroad to truck logging. Production had to halt that summer in order that ¿nal stages of the massive job could be completed. The conversion to trucks at Copper Canyon meant the logs would be trucked from the woods to the dump at Chemainus. Nanaimo River logs would be trucked only to a transfer point near the camp. From there they would be moved some 17 miles over the existing railroad to Ladysmith and then by E & N Railway to Chemainus. There were suf¿cient logs in the water to supply the company’s mills while the camps were shut down.

t was the ladies’ turn to shine Sunday. Following the highly-successful Discovery Honda Cowichan Open men’s tournament, Cowichan Golf and Country Club hosted the Cowichan Ladies’ Open and more great golf was played. Penny Baziuk of Cordova Bay wound up on top of the leaderboard for low gross, shooting a 79. Margaret Kavanagh of Royal Colwood was the runner-up, two shots off the pace. Former Cowichan member Georgina Hermans showed her familiarity with the course, scoring an 82. Next in line were: Janine Kosmenko at 84, Rita Seigo and Sue Ovans at 85, and Denise Walker, former Cowichan player Colleen Wheatley of Arbutus Ridge and Darlene Michell of Mount Brenton all tied at 86. Melanie Spoor, one of Cowichan’s top players, tied for 10th at 87 with Marg Clancy. Cowichan’s Chelsey Sweet-Coulter shot an 88. The low net winner was Karen Smith with a 70. Billie Chang and Sharie Hook tied at 71 and a group of three at 72 included Roberta Wiliston, Barbara Lee Frank and Ellie Scott. Cowichan ladies played a Stableford round last Wednesday. Winners of their respective handicap brackets were: Lynda Morrison, Kathy Coates, Arlene Hornett and Diane Murphy. Ellen Merriam and Christa Robson both birdied No. 4. Jeanne Wilkinson had birdies on No. 6 and 12. Pat Davis (No. 6) and Morrison (No. 7) joined the birdie brigade. Closest-to-the-pin honours went to Pru Sharp on No. 6, Val Anderson on No. 8, Pat Molyneaux on No. 13 and Sandy Buchanan on No. 15.

owichan’s Cameron Davison went shooting for the top in the B.C. junior boys’ golf championship. Davison didn’t do as well as he’d hoped during the tournament at Trail, but still Âżnished in the top 10. Davison started with a sizzling 71 that left him just four shy of the co-leaders but slowly slipped back of the lead pack after rounds of 73, 74 and 74. His 292 was just four-over par and good for a 10thplace tie. “The putter just didn’t work for him,’’ said Cameron’s dad Robert Davison. Cameron has since continued on to San Diego for the Junior Worlds, part of a busy schedule of events that will take him through to the end of August. After San Diego, Davison heads to the U.S. juniors in Bremerton, Washington. He’ll then represent B.C. at the Junior America’s Cup in Colorado before playing the Canadian junior at Morgan Creek on the Lower Mainland and then representing B.C. again at the Hogan Cup in Portland. “It’s a hectic, hectic schedule,’’ conceded Robert Davison. “This is the year he’s hoping to get a scholarship. He’s got a lot of schools interested in him, but now it’s how well you play.’’ Cameron Davison has one more year of high school to complete, but the time is short to impress and land a place at a Div. 1 school. The top schools make commitments with players for the following year by November. • Only the brave and very daring attempt to do the Great Walk from Gold River to Tahsis each year. The latest event in June attracted just a handful of entries from the valley. James GrifÂżn of Duncan placed a remarkable sixth overall for the 63.5-kilometre jaunt in seven hours and 26 minutes. Others who went above and beyond the limits of physical endurance were: Kelly Shelby of Crofton and Roger Beadle from Chemainus, who tied for 35th overall in 11:22; and Monica Murphy and Darcy Gimas of Duncan, who came in together in 13:11 for 59th overall. Participation dropped to just 159 registered athletes. Of those, 148 started and 125 Âżnished.

Cowichan bowler Brent Johns is reputed to be the best in the league and showed it against United Victoria.
Cowichan. United brought its perfect record of 10 straight wins into Shawnigan Lake Sunday. United also lost only once during the entire 2010 campaign so Cowichan knew it had a tough task ahead, but the players were up for the challenge. United elected to bat ¿rst and went on the offensive, reaching 120 for four after 20 overs. But the loss of United’s four top batsmen in the order left Cowichan feeling good

he Burn Unit at Victoria General Hospital and Muscular Dystrophy are the big winners from the Crofton Fire Department’s annual slo-pitch tournament. Proceeds of the weekend event were still being tallied at presstime, but ideal weather helped fuel beverage and food sales. The tournament was a great success again, with 14 teams taking part. “Quite a few of the teams are return teams,’’ said Rob Dyke, part of the massive ¿re department organizational team led by Ryan Bruce. Involvement among the department, Dyke said, sits at “about 99 per cent with the ¿remen and their wives.’’ It’s been a great fundraiser for the department’s favourite causes for many years and
shows no signs of losing steam. “It’s de¿nitely fun,’’ said Dyke. “It looked like a pretty successful weekend.’’ Accuracy throws and other novelty events added to the fun atmosphere. One team did stand tall at the end as the best of the bunch. Tongue and Groove claimed the title by beating the Ho Train in the ¿nal. Everyone was guaranteed four games, Dyke said. The ¿eld was then split into seven, with the top four on each side going into playoffs. Pirates won the B side over the Screachers. The Sticks of Ladysmith claimed consolation honours. The Pender Benders were the most sportsmanlike team, undeterred by ¿ve losses. Two teams from Powell River have always attended and continued that trend. Salt Spring Island also boarded the ferry to enter a team at Crofton and the rest were predominantly local from Crofton, Chemainus and Duncan.

Mits Nakagawa then partnered with Tiwari. The two pushed the total to 143 when Nakagawa went out for 18. Two more wickets fell but Cowichan left no doubt about the outcome.

about its chances. Brent Johns displayed his superior bowling, ¿nishing the innings with four wickets for 30 runs. Adam Benning took three for 44 in his nine overs. United still had the potential to build a big score but the ¿elders made some excellent catches to remove the batting side at 184 in only 33 overs. Cowichan headed into its batting stint feeling good about handing United its ¿rst defeat. Benning and Rick Fletcher opened the innings and made a solid connection to score 87 without a loss. When Benning hooked the ¿rst ball over square leg for six, it was clearly a good omen. Fletcher was eventually caught

Caps meet Grizzlies in BCHL openers Don Bodger

T
he Cowichan Valley Capitals will open the 2011-12 season with back-to-back games against the Victoria Grizzlies. The B.C. Hockey League finally unveiled the schedule this week, a month later than it used to be done by teams during the annual general meeting. The Caps play their first game at Victoria Friday, Sept. 23 before hosting the Grizzlies
again the next night in their home-opener at Cowichan Arena. The Caps close out September with a game on home ice against the Powell River Kings Wednesday, Sept. 28 and play at Nanaimo Sept. 30. The Caps would normally play more games in September but the schedule has been pushed back to a later start and finish. In order to accommodate the change that’s more in keeping with other levels of hockey, only four teams in each of the Coastal and Interior Conferences will make
the playoffs. The Caps have a favourable schedule in the half interlock with the Interior. They will host Prince George, Trail, Westside and Vernon and travel to Salmon Arm, Penticton, Merritt and Chilliwack. Chilliwack, the former Quesnel franchise, is playing in the Interior Conference for one season. Overall, the Caps have 19 home games on prime Friday and Saturday nights, six during the middle of the week and five on Sundays.
nother major event hits the Duncan Meadows Golf Course next week. The 2011 Royale Cup Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship will be decided at Duncan Meadows, the biggest of many prestigious tournaments staged at
the course. “We’ve been on the go for a while trying to get everything ready,’’ said Duncan Meadows owner Ming Hui. “We’re getting close.’’ Golf Canada didn’t hesitate to award the tournament to Duncan Meadows, based on plenty of past experience. “That’s their top event for the women’s golf in Canada,’’ said Hui. “Next to that is the men’s amateur.’’ Duncan Meadows is known as the place where Champions Are Crowned based on an impressive schedule of events dating back to 1999. Duncan Meadows hosted the B.C. Mid-Amateur in 1999, Future Links Western Canada Junior Championship in 2000, the B.C. Junior in 2001, the American Junior Golf Association Future Links in 2002, the Club Champions tournament in 2004, the Royal Canadian Golf Association University/College Championships in 2005, a CN women’s tour event in 2006 and the B.C. Amateur in 2009. The Canadian Women’s Amateur Championships begin with practice rounds Monday. The first round of the 72-hole tournament goes Tuesday and round two is Wednesday when the field of 156 gets cut down to 70 and ties. The final two rounds are Thursday and Friday. Jennifer Kirby of Paris, Ont., the winner of the 2009 tournament, is one of the favourites. A hometown island hopeful is Christina Proteau of Port Alberni. “She won the B.C. women’s and B.C. women’s mid-amateur,’’ said Hui of Proteau. “She went to the U.S. Open and missed the cut by one.’’ There are many other top-notch players in the talented field. “It’s open to international players, too,’’ said Hui. “There’s quite a large contingent coming from the States, a few from Mexico and Argentina. “There’s a lot of Asians, a lot of them are foreigners.’’ Many of the foreign players are going to U.S. schools or spending time in North America honing their games. Any one of the players among the top-ranked amateurs has a chance to win the tournament. “Out of the top 100, we’ve got a good chunk of them coming,’’ said Hui. Family members, parents, caddies and other followers will be flocking to the tournament. “The community will see a huge influx of people,’’ said Hui. Spectators are welcome to follow any of the groups and there’s no charge. Protocol must be followed so the golfers aren’t disrupted. There’s much more information about the tournament available at www.duncanmeadows.com.

hen Alena Strelaeff became separated from her dog, she feared the worst. “I wasn’t sure if somebody had stolen her, I didn’t know if she’d been hit by a car, I didn’t know if someone thought she was abandoned and was going to keep her,” said Strelaeff, adding there have been reports of dognapping in her neighbourhood. The ordeal started on July 5, after Angel, a three-year-old poodle, had just come out of the bath. Strelaeff was on horseback behind their Saltair home that evening with her sister and Angel, whose collar was removed for the bath. “It’s waist-high grass and we got separated,” said Strelaeff. Strelaeff went back to the farm and Angel left in the opposite direction. Strelaeff said Angel must have wandered up to the highway, because when she went looking at the other end of the land, Angel was gone. Adding to her anxiety was the fact Angel

Alena and Hailey Strelaeff show off Angel and her six new puppies. Angel went missing from behind their Saltair home and turned up in Victoria. was pregnant with her ¿rst litter of puppies and Strelaeff wanted to be there for the birth. Strelaeff, along with her kids, Hailey, 12, and Danika, 10, searched late into the night, hoping to ¿nd their beloved family pet.
“They were with me up to 11 p.m. wandering and looking and calling for her,” said Strelaeff of her two daughters. The next they would see of Angel would be on an evening edition of A-News, where it was reported a dog had been dropped off and was found wandering in Victoria … it was Angel. Everyone was ecstatic she was found safe and sound. Angel had given birth to six puppies. Three, unfortunately, did not make it. “Sometimes when you have puppies and they come really fast, you have to help them out of the sack.” Strelaeff, who used to breed Labradoodles, said Angel holds a special place in her family’s heart as Angel’s sister was lost during a ¿re in Coombs two years ago. “I lost all my dogs,” said Strelaeff. Angel, however, was staying with Strelaeff’s friend in Duncan at the time of the ¿re. So when the opportunity arose to breed Angel and keep that cherished bloodline alive, Strelaeff jumped at it. So far they have three names for the new puppies, Ariel, Josh and Melody.

Art Bakker’s lust for life was always evident and he made a huge impression on younger up-and-coming triathletes.
ributes are pouring in for Art Bakker, who made a huge impact on the athletic community for his stamina and dedication to training. Bakker died last week. He was 84. “I met Art in 1986,’’ noted Jack Bennett of the CeeVacs Road Runners. “He was a member of our team in the ¿rst-ever Island Relay. I remember thinking what fantastic shape he was in for his age and, as I had recently started running, I looked to him as a goal for my life. “Many times over the years as I heard
about his feats in triathlon and in running I marveled at his dedication to the sport and his positive and good-humoured personality. We will sadly miss him.’’ Bakker’s love of the personal challenge of training and the thrill he derived from competition was well known. Bakker also loved to spend time outdoors, camping in his motorhome or ¿shing. “I never saw Art without a smile on his face,’’ noted CeeVacs’ Sheron Chrysler. “Just a couple of weeks ago, I met Art running along the Cowichan River. We chatted brieÀy about enjoying our run on a beautiful day with the sun glistening off the river. Right up to his passing, Art enjoyed life. He was an inspiration to all.’’
Bakker’s exploits during his 50s, 60s and even into the early 80s inspired much younger athletes like triathletes Alison Keple and Jason Sandquist. “Both Jason and I remember him as a mentor, really the ¿rst person we knew who was an Ironman,’’ noted Keple. “Jason said he really led the way for local Ironman athletes. We certainly have memories of a lot of swim workouts with the masters group through the mid-to-late 1990s.’’ Bakker is survived by his wife Rose, brothers Gerry and John, seven children and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. A celebration of Bakker’s life was held Tuesday.

Another weekend of charity tugging on Davey Derby line Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
S
upport for the Davey Derby remains stronger than ever among participants and sponsors heading into its second decade. The ¿shing derby named for Dave Nicholson, who succumbed to cancer, enters its 11th year July 22 through 24 at the Port Renfrew Marina. The valley resident and Crofton millworker had a wife and four young children when he died. In the early days, the derby was held as a fundraiser for the family. When the Nicholson family no longer needed assistance, longtime friends and co-workers decided to channel the proceeds into other worthy causes. It’s evolved into a huge fundraiser for many community groups, primarily in the valley. “Every year, we’re really pleased with the organization and the families that are able to help out,’’’ said organizer Audie Williams. “We’re able to help families that are in some pretty dire circumstances.’’ Last year, the derby surpassed the $100,000 mark in the overall amount raised. “Now that we’re growing, we’d expect to raise the next $100,000 in the next three years,’’ said Williams. “We have great sponsors who believe in what we’re doing. We have a prize table that’s second to none.’’
More than $16,000 in prizes will be available at the derby for the winners of various categories, Williams said. The derby started with a mere 15 entrants in the inaugural year and has expanded to more than 350. The number of ¿shers is expected to top 400 this year. Last year’s proceeds hit $24,000 alone and portions of the total were donated to the Cowichan Valley Basket Society, Chemainus Harvest House, Lake Cowichan Community Services, Run for the Cure, Victoria and Cowichan District Hospital neo-natal care units, KidSport Cowichan, Lake Cowichan and Juan de Fuca Salmonid Enhancement Societies, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the Pink Salmon Festival and six Cowichan Valley families who were facing dif¿cult times through the loss of a loved one or due to a serious illness. “Everyone I talk to basically is there because they believe in what we’re doing,’’ stressed Williams. “They like their money is going to a worthy cause.’’ And the ¿shing isn’t a bad way to spend the weekend, either. Derby tickets are available at Bucky’s Sports Shop and the Port Renfrew Marina. The Dave Nicholson Benevolent Foundation will also have a presence at this weekend’s Duncan-Cowichan Summer Festival. Tickets are being sold at its booth for a barbecue and $150 worth of meat, with all proceeds of the rafÀe earmarked for the Cowichan District Hospital’s maternity ward.

Making what’s old new again Fundraising campaign: Chemainus Museum looking to expand Ashley Degraaf
News Leader Pictorial
T
he Chemainus Valley Museum is bursting at its seams, literally. And that’s why the long-standing Mural Town artifact haven is looking to expand, said museum secretary and archive collector Norma Greer. “A couple years back, we checked into expanding,” she said. “We started fundraising last year, small fundraisers like garage and book sales and now I ¿gured it was time to get gun ho on grants.” Greer ¿gured the building built in 1991 is only about 1,500 square feet. “Space is an issue. We have enough artifacts in
John McKinley/¿le
A worker sweeps in front of the Chemainus Valley Museum shelving downstairs to ¿ll another museum,” she said. “We’re looking at almost doubling.” Luckily, the building was built with the intent to make for more space. “We started out relatively small,” Greer said. “But now we’ve proved our worth and on the one side of the museum facing the mill, there are three windows upstairs and one
downstairs and they can be broken through (for add-on purposes).” The museum folks are looking to almost double the space upstairs, and build an elevator for easy access to all three levels. They’d also like to use fundraised dough to liven displays. So far, through bake and garage sales, and museum reserves, the group has
scrounged about $55,000. But Greer ¿gures they’ll need $300,000 in total. She’s writing grant applications for different organizations and is also trying to muster ideas for big-money fundraisers. The museum is eyeing up a 2016 grand opening bash for completed renos. The Waterwheel Park hub holds many interesting artifacts including items attributed to Bob Swanson during his tenure as mill engineer. Swanson was famous for his work on air horns, for example, the horns atop the old B.C. Hydro building in Vancouver that plays O Canada at noon. He was also the major force behind the refurbishing of the Royal Hudson locomotive that now hauls excursions to Squamish from West Vancouver. To get in touch with Greer, call the museum at 246-2445.
Public Hearing Notice
North Cowichan Council gives notice that a public hearing will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday July 21, 2011, in the Council Chambers of the North Cowichan Municipal Hall, 7030 Trans Canada Highway, North Cowichan, BC. The purpose of the public hearing is to allow Council to receive public input on the following four bylaws: 1. Bylaw 3457, “Zoning Amendment Bylaw (No. 3 – Housekeeping), 2011, proposes several changes to Bylaw 2950, "Zoning Bylaw 1997," including, but not limited to: 1) amending or adding the following definitions: “apartment,” “gross floor area,” multi-family,” “public use,” recycling drop-off depot,” “recycling depot,” “recycling industrial use,” and “shipping container”; 2) amending flood control requirements; 3) amending requirements for required off-street parking spaces and parking spaces for use by persons with disabilities; 4) restricting steps, eves, awnings, canopies, cantilevered balconies, porches, chimneys and other structures from projecting more than 0.6 metre (1.97 feet) into a required yard; 5) regulations for the placement of shipping containers; 6) deleting “campground” as a permitted use in the A1 (Agricultural) and A2 (Rural) zones; 7) amending the permitted density in the R3-CH (Residential Two-Family Detached) and C1 (Commercial Local) zones; repealing and substituting requirements for the R7 (Residential Multi-Family) zone; 8) adding “recycling industrial use” as a permitted use in the I2 (Heavy Industrial) zone; and 9) changing the setbacks for principal buildings in the CD4 (Comprehensive Development Zone – Mixed Family Zone). 2.
Bylaw 3461, “ Zoning Amendment Bylaw (No. 4 – Norcross Road), 2011, proposes to amend Bylaw 2950, "Zoning Bylaw 1997," by reclassifying a portion of 6669 Norcross Road (legally described as Parcel C (DD 40617I), Sections 4 and 5, Range 6, Somenos District, except those parts in plans 3102, 3874, 16400, 20922 and 26624, and except that part outline in red and marked A on Plan 582BL [PID 004-800-052; Folio 5122000], shown as “Subject Property” and outlined in bold on the map to the right, from Rural Zone (A2) to Rural Residential Zone (A5).

If approved, the applicant proposes to construct a 4-storey, mixeduse commercial and residential building, with height and parking variances. 4.

DO YOU NEED HELP? Want a Home? I can use my 50 years of experience building over 1000 new houses to show you how to build your own dream home and save the builder’s markup and profit. I will design your ideas of a perfect house into working plans and tell you what to do and when to do it from the start to when you move in. You can do a lot of the work yourselves and not pay the labour bill to others. One of the largest home builders in the Victoria area does all the building with nothing but subtrades and do none of the work themselves. It works. Let’s talk about it.
Thinking of Renovating? I can offer a world of ideas and show you what is practical and how not to damage the structural integrity of your home. I can put your ideas into working drawings for sub trade pricing and I can arrange financing, tell you what to do and when to do it. It is less painful (and expensive) if you do it yourself. The finance companies are reluctant to have inexperienced owners do their own work but I can help there also. I can also arrange for firm price bids to do the work if that is your preference.
Develop Your Land? I have done some 12 land developments in which I designed, obtained approvals, serviced the properties -- all of this in the local area. I can show you what you can do with your land, such as sub dividing it into smaller lots. I am completely familiar with the various methods of septic disposal and have access to experts who certify various systems that will be approved by the local authority. Engineers are very expensive at the start when you only want to know what you can do, but they still charge the full price for that, too. I can avoid most of that expense for you.
And Who Am I? I am semi-retired now. I found that in helping various friends like those outlined above, that there is no one they could find to go to for reasonable advice about what they can or can’t do about the above noted possible plans. I find that work interesting, and I can pass on what I have learned over the years to others that can use that type of information. It sounds like a win / win situation to me. Let’s talk about it. Call me anytime at your convenience.

It’s Festival Time!
How do I know? Because instinctively it’s just too nice outdoors not to celebrate and where else but downtown Duncan for the middle of July….when the warmland people come outside and the whole family gets to celebrate in style. Downtown Duncan has a long and cherished history of festivals and parades. Called various names over the years, the spirit of, and community enthusiasm for, our street party has always remained constant. In its 32nd consecutive year, the Summer Festival encompasses the entire month of July with Duncan Daze taking place the weekend of July 15-16. This street party involves the young, the old, the in-between, friends, families and neighbours. Children’s laughter mixes with the sound of a guitar, some drums and the chit chat between friends. You want family fun? You got it!
For the kids there’s a Children’s Parade on Friday, starting at 6:00 pm at the corner of Kenneth and Jubilee Street. Saturday is the Grand Parade with everyone lining the streets anticipating the fun and colorful Àoats. Be sure to park your car, bring your fold up chair and make your way in time to see the parade make it’s way through town, starting at 11:00 am and going through Downtown Duncan. Many of the streets are closed and there’s Mini Golf, kids rides and games, archery shooting gallery either on the street or in one of the parking stalls on Kenneth Street. As well as there’s Guitar Hero and other Wii games - yes, we’re well into the 21st century here in the downtown. A favourite every year ‘ Deano’ the clown, will be walking around entertaining kids and adults alike and for the smart phone carriers we’re having a Smart Phone Scavenger Hunt using QR codes. Not to be missed,
the ever-popular Dunk Tank where you get to soak your favourite local of¿cial. So satisfying. For the grown-ups there’s a Psychic Fair, live music in City Square on Friday and Saturday nights as well as the venue in Charles Hoey Park (that’s the green space between Canada Ave, and Duncan St, right behind the train station). Many of our Downtown businesses offer specials and have sidewalk sales as well as a ¿ne selection from local artisans. When you’re ready to eat, there’s food everywhere you look, from the many street vendors to something more substantial there are 22 fantastic eateries to choose from including patio dining and the Brew Pub. With the main streets being closed to car traf¿c (so you can wander around trouble-free and enjoy all the sights and sounds) be sure to leave time to park and walk into the downtown core.
For the entire month of July there’s free live music in Charles Hoey Park provided by our very own impresario, Longevity John Falkner, owner of the nationallyranked Duncan Garage Showroom. For Duncan Daze you can enjoy some dance-your-bones entertainment in City Square as well. So, come on down to Downtown Duncan and enjoy our little town. There’s always something happening here but for 2 days in July we throw the doors wide open, let our hair down, put on the Àip-Àops and enjoy our friends and neighbors in festival. For more information contact the DBIA at www.downtownduncan.ca and Summer Festival at www. cowichanfestival.com for a list of performers. Written by Arno Featherstone

espite popular local opinion, the grass is not always greener in Chemainus. On the contrary, this weekend the mural town sod will be a distinct, earthy shade of blue. John Reischman and the Jaybirds headline a seven-act marquee Saturday for the debut of the Chemainus Bluegrass Festival. A bluegrass musician himself, festival organizer Bob Johns has made a name for himself locally with the Back 40 Boys. He’s promising a full day of some of the best down-home picking Vancouver Island has to offer. “This festival is comparable to the very best music events, and has a suggested donation for admission which is just a small fraction of the amount charged by other
festivals of this calibre,� he said. Publicist Dee Kinnee said John Reischman and the Jaybirds offer a blend of vintage gems, original songs and trademark instrumentals — variously bluesy, hardedged and haunting — that make them one of the most interesting bands on the circuit today. Johns called mandolin maestro Reischman and his Jaybirds one of the most respected bands in the bluegrass world. “There is little doubt that when the Jaybirds get together musically, something special happens,� the CBF website states. “Few can traverse the disparate landscapes of bluegrass and old-time as expertly as Reischman and the Jaybirds have.� The band will be complemented by local area bluegrass favourites Skagway, the mid-Island’s Backporch Banjo, Sidney’s Corner Grass, young Victorians Flash in the Pan, and Johns’ own band
Bluegrass Fever. Johns said the event seems to be coming together nicely for Saturday and he hopes to make it an annual affair. “This one is kind of baby steps. If it looks good, maybe we’ll plan something a little bit bigger next year,� he said. The day starts with open mike performances, then proceeds with a fresh act taking the Rotary Bandshell stage every hour on the hour. Several acts will play twice, but the Jaybirds are scheduled just once, at 1 p.m. For more information, visit www.chemainusbluegrass.com, or call 250-246-1389 Your ticket What: Chemainus Bluegrass Festival When: 9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Saturday, July 16 Where: Waterwheel Park, Chemainus Tickets: $10 suggested donation

Audience members have an active role in Chemainus Theatre’s latest. kids an interactive experience with the story,â€? DuMez said. “What they take from the theatre, is a time to engage their imaginations, spirits of playfulness, in a good classic story.â€?

Kidzplay is a 10-year strong tradition for the Chemainus Theatre. Last year’s kid-friendly hit was 0XQVFK $GR $ERXW 1RWK LQJ The theatrical production of Robert Munsch stories fused with Shakespearean rhetoric was a smashing success, said DuMez who doesn’t doubt Snow White – Sleepy, Grumpy, Doc and all – will stand up to the program’s reputation. “This one is for a younger audience than some of our other Kidzplay shows have been,â€? DuMez said, noting the targeted age group is four to 10 year olds. “Some two-year-olds might feel comfortable to participate,â€? he said.
