undreds of Cowichanians are joining the ¿ght to see western Canada’s only ¿sh spa re-opened. The Purple Orchid on Station Street was forced to shut down its tank of therapeutic Garra rufa ¿sh after the Vancouver Island Health Authority got wind of the business. But ¿sh spa clients, natural medicine advocates and other community members are calling on VIHA to revoke the order. At least 200 have signed a petition at The Purple Orchid, and more sheets are circulating the community. Backing their support is a perfect track record for cleanliness at the spa — not one infection resulted from a dunk in the tank, and not one complaint has been made. “People are looking for more natural ways to take

care of themselves, and they’re ¿nding VIHA has been hauling a lot of things in health food shops off the shelves,” said Orchid owner Dixie Simpson. Local natural medicine advocate, Lorene Benoit, agreed. “We’re losing all our freedom of choice,” she said. “If people do not start to speak up for their choice in health care, we won’t have any.” Simpson suspects reaction to the ¿sh spa’s closure indicates people are, in fact, ready to ¿ght for alternatives. “They’re cutting choices for alternative therapy and medicine, and I think people are getting tired of this group babysitting them,” she said. “We’re not children, yet (VIHA) is taking away our choice, even our right, to take care of our bodies in the way we see ¿t.” The critters in question are dozens of small, toothless — and now unemployed — Garra rufa ¿sh who suck away dead skin particles on client’s feet. They’ve been known to release fatigue by stimulating acupuncture points, and they excrete an enzyme that helps relieve psoriasis and eczema. Now roped off, the tank still uses a three-¿lter, UVray ¿ltration system to cleanse the water. Simpson suggested VIHA focus on real areas of

concern, such as hospital cleanliness. “There are bigger ¿sh to fry here,” she said. She wonders how her popular ¿sh are any different than the maggots used on burn victims, or the leeches that assist with limb transplants — effective forms of medicine that employ less-than-sterile creatures. “There are a number of differences,” said Dr. Murray Fyfe, a medical health of¿cer at VIHA. “Maggots and leeches are not reused; they’re disposed of as bio-medical hazards after being used on a client. Fish in this type of setting are allowed to interact with one client and then another, so there’s potential for the transfer of pathogens from one client to the next.” Fyfe explained the ¿sh carry pathogens that are natural to them but can cause infections in humans. He added the ultra-violet ¿lter does not clean the water completely, and does nothing to sterilize the ¿sh. And yet there has never been a case of infection or other health risk due to use of a Garra rufa ¿sh spa. At The Purple Orchid, Simpson personally inspected all clients’ feet before dropping them in the tank, removing all lotions and other potential ¿sh-harmful products, and ensuring there were no cuts or sores on the skin. more on page 5

olice want to make the Malahat a safer place. Just not for speeders. It’s been just two weeks since the police program Making the Malahat Safer launched, and already 582 speeding tickets have been handed out. There have been a total of 671 violations — ranging from speed to unsafe commercial vehicles and not wearing seatbelts — in the 14-day span. “Two weeks into the campaign it is apparent that speed is a serious problem on the Malahat Drive,” Const. Robert Figueiredo said in a media release on Wednesday. Eleven speed-related tickets have resulted in seven-day vehicle impoundments due to excessive speed. Of the 582 tickets issued, 80 per cent of violators were travelling at least 20 km/h over the posted speed limit. There have also been ¿ve impaired drivers nabbed, and two prohibited drivers taken off the road. Commercial vehicle safety and enforcement of¿cers have conducted 19 inspections: in 79 per cent of trucks, of¿cers found violations. Twentysix per cent were found un¿t for the road, and taken out of service until repairs were made. The major violations were brake adjustments, lights and tires, police said. The program, which includes the Capital Regional District’s Integrated Road Safety Unit, South Vancouver Island Traf¿c Services, Saanich Police, Westshore RCMP, Shawnigan Lake RCMP and Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement, continues into next week. Of¿cers are targeting commercial vehicles and will be on the look-out for proper documentation, licencing, load security and overall safety.

Being prepared helps save capsized boatload on Nitinat Lake Police are crediting use of survival suits for a happy ending to a dangerous incident at the valley’s extreme west end last week. According to Cpl. Krista Hobday of the Lake Cowichan RCMP, a 29-foot aluminum boat struck a rock face on the east side of Nitinat Lake July 9, tossing all seven occupants into the water. Hobday said all were wearing survival suits

that protected them from the cold water. They swam three meters to shore and were eventually picked up by a vessel that had been travelling a few kilometres behind their route, and taken to the nearby Dididaht reserve. Hobday said the occupants of the vessel were family and friends ranging in age from nine- to 56-years-old. Some were treated for minor injuries includ-

ing scrapes, bruising, and cuts, at Victoria General Hospital, and Nanaimo Regional Hospital before being released. There was no sign of the vessel from the air the next day and it is presumed sunk. According to Hobday, police investigation led to the conclusion the driver fell asleep. Alcohol and drugs were not factors and there will not be any charges.

Water decision sets precedent Halalt ruling: Observers say ruling about consultation, not ownership of water

alalt First Nation’s recent B.C. supremecourt win concerning North Cowichan’s use of its aquifer has set a national, and maybe an international, benchmark, legal Native law experts say. “This decision further de¿nes and sets out responsibilities of government whenever involved in making decisions affecting rights First Nations people have,” said Robert Morales, Hul’qumi’num Treaty Group’s chief negotiator. “It’s also an important decision in issues of water, which are of evergrowing importance as a resource, and the Halalt decision will assist the HTG in negotiating with the province in terms of water.” Justice Catherine Wedge’s 178page ruling basically ¿nds the provincial environment assessment of¿ce failed to adequately consult the Halalt before granting North Cowichan’s well-water use certi¿cate. Her ruling turned off taps at the municipality’s new $5.7-million water well project until Victoria shows proper consultation. Aboriginal lawyer Chris Devlin explained Wedge whacks Victoria’s knuckles about poor talks with Natives about resources, but he stressed her ruling doesn’t give the Halalt ownership of Chemainus River’s aquifer. “This is an aquifer under an existing Native reserve and the province could have paid a little more attention to that. “The takeaway message is that the government has to do a much better

Halalt Natives blockade a portion of Chemainus Road in February 2010, to protest a water dispute that led to a landmark court ruling. job ¿guring out the nature and scope of potentially affected Aboriginal rights, and this applies to treaty rights.” Environment ministry agents declined to comment about the case while talking to their lawyers about Wedge’s ruling. Likewise at North Cowichan. “We need to ¿nd out what the province wants to do now that they’ve been asked by the judge to further consult,” said administrator Dave Devana. Devlin seemed to share MP Jean Crowder’s suspicions Victoria may appeal Wedge’s judgment, costing the Halalt, and taxpayers, buckets in legal bills. “The province loves to appeal

these things,” Devlin said. “They don’t want to give up their claim to groundwater.” Morales agreed. “We’ve had discussions about water in the past, and the province has maintained they have ownership of water and absolute management responsibility for water.” Environmental and social costs of Wedge’s ruling and use of the Cowichan River were also being weighed by Cowichan Tribes Chief Lydia Hwitsum. “We’re very concerned about any accesses or draws that would negatively impact the quality and quantity of (river) water, especially when it comes to our ¿sheries,” said Hwitsum.

“The courts continue to de¿ne, for each level of government, its requirement to consult.” She, Devlin and Morales hinted Halalt’s water ruling likely joins landmark court rulings, such as Delgamuukw versus B.C. (1997), regarding government talks about Aboriginal land claims and resource use. “Before (such cases as Halalt and others) there was no legal requirement to consult,” Hwitsum said. Morales echoed Hwitsum’s pride in legal precedence. “The Halalt decision reÀects First Nations rights that are beginning to become accepted and implemented through courts and other bodies,” he said.

he Echo Heights debate will not be settled until after the fall civic election at the earliest. North Cowichan council decided Wednesday to postpone a hearing about the proposed Chemainus development until sometime after B.C.’s Nov. 19 vote. Council’s ruling basically avoids legal questions, and citizen criticism of council rushing through expected heavy debate about the publicly owned forest, North Cowichan Mayor Tom Walker explained. “The zoning stays for now at second reading with no public hearing date set,” Walker told the News Leader Pictorial. The hearing was set for Thursday evening but a tech- Tom Walker: nical error, found by staff in later ads about the hearing, killed that date. Walker said the human error may have left council open to legal challenges had the July 21 hearing happened. The next hearing date might have been in August “but August is a holiday month, so it was out,” the mayor said. An early- to mid-September hearing would have nudged toward the civic election that will end council’s current term, Walker said. Time is also needed for staff to answer technical questions about rezoning the 54 acres of public land for proposed green housing and parkland. Council is proposing 58 per cent of Echo Heights be set aside as green space, while the rest is dedicated to the phasedin development of between 200 and 250 dwellings. The Chemainus Residents’ Association and others want all of Echo Heights preserved as parkland. Critics cite studies showing the forest’s biodiversity, and question the pro¿tability of developing the site.

CDH staff plus friends, family and hospital backers got together yesterday for a small fundraiser drumming

M

up support for the New Hospital Building Fund as part of the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation’s efforts to raise money for a brand new hospital. “It’s really an event to show that the staff and crew are really excited about raising money for the new hospital,” CDH administrative assistant Tina Lamb said prior to Thursday’s fundraiser. “It’s really more to get staff out there and to raise awareness for anyone interested in contributing to a new hospital. “We’re out there and willing to help raise the funds.” Thursday’s Family Day included a barbecue, rafÀes, bouncy castle, dunk tank, cakewalk, mini carnival games,

and radio station coverage. All proceeds were funneled to the hospital fund. “The staff want to get behind this effort in a special way and show how important a new hospital is for this growing community and is very much needed to safely and effectively provide quality health care for the residents of Cowichan Valley,” CDH foundation’s Amy Trippe Brophy wrote in an email. A new hospital has been on many Cowichanians’ wishlists for several years. Thursday’s fundraiser is just the start of a string of community-oriented charitable events raising cash for CDH’s new digs.

n extra second, maybe a second and-a-half, and Larry Machnee and Martha Ralph might have had time to react. They might still be alive today. That sobering thought emerged Wednesday at the Duncan Law Courts during the testimony of Sharlene Puhallo. Puhallo, an accident reconstruction engineer, was called to the stand as the only defence witness in the B.C. Supreme Court trial of Lucas Ian Brown. Brown is charged with two counts of criminal negligence causing death, failing to stop at an accident scene involving death, two counts of breaking and entering, possession of stolen property over $5,000, and possession of a stolen credit card. The charges stem from the Feb. 20, 2010, deaths of Ralph, 56, and Machnee, 59, who were killed after their Yamaha touring motorcycle was struck near Bamberton by a 2007 Honda that had been stolen in North Vancouver earlier that day. The driver Àed the scene of the crash, police said at the time. Brown, meanwhile, was arrested without incident near the Mill Bay ferry terminal and remanded into policy custody. His trial began on July 11 when a sixman, six-woman jury was selected. It continued Wednesday with the testimony of Puhallo, who provided an expert’s analysis of the crash scene. Puhallo said her calculations of the crash scene report prepared by the

Fyfe, meanwhile, disputed the belief VIHA is not supportive of alternative forms of medicine. “There are many alterative forms of therapy that coexist and we recognize the importance of these.” He said Simpson’s spa, however, falls under provincial Provision of Personal Services regulations. That means there’s little hope of revoking the ¿sh spa closure

unless politicians change the legislation. Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley is already on the job. “I’m going to meet with our (NDP) caucus and talk about this,” he said Thursday. “(Simpson) did all the right things —-- she went to Health Canada to get approval, and she went through the proper licencing authority right there in Duncan.” He wonders how VIHA could shut the spa when all available research around the world indicates the ¿sh do not pose a

RCMP found the motorcycle to be travelling at 85 to 95 kilometres per hour at the time of the collision. The Honda — which Brown is accused of driving — that crashed into the motorcycle would have been travelling at 48 to 52 km/h before braking for the left turn, at which point the speed reduced to 18 to 27 km/h. Puhallo’s calculations indicate that one to 1.4 seconds and seven metres were all the Honda’s driver needed to complete the turn — but for the motorcycle. “So two people would have been alive if he (the Honda driver) had that 1.4 seconds, is that what you’re saying?” Crown prosecutor Scott Van Alstine asked. “Yes,” Puhallo answered. When questioned by Brown’s lawyer, Don McKay, Puhallo also said Brown “may not have consciously seen the motorcycle.” She explained motorcycles account for one per cent of registered vehicles, with even less of that ¿gure on the road as not all motorcyclists drive bikes all the time. “We’re conditioned to look for cars,” Puhallo said. Van Alstine didn’t buy this argument, and went so far as to say Puhallo was speculating and even advocating on behalf of Brown — a claim she refuted. Van Alstine reminded the court that the Honda’s driver pulled an illegal lefthand turn across a double-solid yellow line. Puhallo’s testimony wrapped the evidence portion of the trial. Closing arguments are scheduled for Friday, and the jury is slated to receive its instructions on Monday morning. Visit cowichannewsleader.com on Friday afternoon for a report on the closing arguments.

Roundabout boom sparked by ICBC, safety concerns Peter W. Rusland

atalities at the Drinkwater and Somenos road intersection should end when the risky site’s new traf¿c circle opens around Aug. 8, municipal staff said. Meanwhile, motorists are advised to avoid the rural intersection where construction started earlier this month, North Cowichan engineer John MacKay said. He pegged the project’s cost at about $430,000, with $85,000 of that tab contributed by ICBC. “They usually contribute in the $100,000 range, depending on the accidents at a site. “ICBC does a review of accidents at the intersection, then calculates savings in claims they’ll make over

time,” he said. According to MacKay, the Drinkwater-Somenos corner has been the site of several serious accidents and at least one death. One of those tragedies sparked installation of a Àashing amber light. The new roundabout — the municipality’s 11th since 2005 — will also control east- and westbound traf¿c to and from Cowichan Commons Mall, plus vehicles visiting the new Somenos Ball Fields, he said. “Those, and developments in the area, are all contributing to more traf¿c there, and there’s more development planned for that area.” ICBC has usually kicked cash into North Cowichan’s traf¿c circles, he noted. “The amount varies on the accident history of the intersection.”

25-year-old man is facing two charges of mischief after allegedly attempting a break-in at The Red Rooster store in Westholme. The incident occurred at about 10 a.m. last Tuesday, when the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP received a report someone had tried to break into the Trans-Canada Highway store, and then broke into a vehicle in the parking lot before Àeeing on foot. According to police, witnesses at the scene had found the suspect in the back of a red Hyundai he’d broken into, and scared him off. The man, who has no ¿xed address, Àed northbound on the Island Highway. “Police searched the area and located an individual matching the witnesses’ description,” Cpl. Kevin Day said in a media release. “Through investigation, police were able to determine the male was the one responsible for attempting to break into The Red Rooster, and breaking into the vehicle.”

M

ore than 23 million Canadians carry a mobile phone or wireless device. And, according to a report crafted by Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association, that number continues to grow, as does the number of smart gadgets such as iPhones and BlackBerries. That’s why cell phone towers in Cowichan have recently surfaced as a hot-button issue. “Our customers needs are changing,” Rogers Communication’s Marina Guy said. “People are using more devices such as smart phones, tablets and embedded laptops. These devices use much more data than basic mobile phones.” Two towers have recently been proposed in the valley. First, locals heard about Cowichan Valley Regional District concerns surrounding a proposed Trans-Canada Highway Telus tower in Cobble Hill. Then north-end residents got riled about a Rogers structure proposed for rural Saltair. “This tower will enable us to continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers by providing a more reliable mobile service,” Guy said about the Saltair proposal. “Providing our customer with reliable service is critical. Fifty-seven per cent of calls to 911 in B.C. are made on mobile phones,” she said.

ECO Depot should be sent to referendum Vote on it: It’s the only way to gauge support

D

uring the year-long saga of the South Cowichan ECO Depot, the Cowichan Valley Regional District has frequently been accused of being a closed, top-down organization that has no interest in what the public has to say on the issue. A better description might be that it has been a top-down organization that has decided ECO Depot opponents do not speak for the majority of voters and has become more and more guarded in the face of increasingly vehement objections. You can’t blame ECO Depot opponents for being frustrated. They have stated as clearly as possible they do not want this facility at this site. They have Let the voters out a litany of Àaws in the locadecide if there pointed tion, the zoning and the competition with nearby private business. And they have is public supdemonstrated a broad range of support port for their position through petitions, letters and protests. You can’t blame the CVRD for not completely rejecting the project out of hand. Even opponents acknowledge there is widespread support for a facility of this nature. CVRD staff put a lot of work into ¿nding an available site that meets the proper criteria and are convinced this is the one. And directors will tell you they hear a lot of community support for the proposal privately, from people who are scared that speaking publicly will make them targets for the wrath of those who disagree. Unfortunately, the board has lacked (depending on your view on this issue) the courage to take a principled stand on the depot, or any real respect for opposition concerns. And the situation drags on, resulting in scenes such as the embarrassing Balu Tatachari sideshow at last week’s CVRD board meeting. With courage and/or respect lacking, the time is overripe to give common sense a chance. Why not ask the public what it wants? There is an election in four months. Put the question of the ECO Depot on the ballot. Let the public decide.

Seeing both sides of: Testing for senior drivers The case against

The case for Few 80-year-olds are as good on the basketball court as they were in their twenties. Most, in fact, would be leery about stepping on the court. Driving a car may not be a direct comparison, but the analogy holds — the very old and very young aren’t as physically and mentally sharp as those in between. They need to be tested to ensure their own safety and the safety of those around them.

Halalt case about consultation, not water rights Patrick Hrushowy

N

orth Cowichan and Chemainus residents dependent on the municipality for their potable water supply, appear to be up a creek without a paddle as a result of a Supreme Court decision going in favour of the Halalt First Nations band. Excuse the “The precedent set metaphor but it does is different than what seem to express the lack of options that the Halalt band has saying is supposed to been celebrating.” represent. The net effect of the court judgement is to shut the operation of wells drawing clean water from the Chemainus aquifer until such time as the

Hrushowy

Halalt band is deemed to have been adequately consulted and accommodated. The wells are shut at this time of year in any event under the terms of a certi¿cate granted by the government after a a ¿ve-year review conducted by the Environmental Assessment Of¿ce. The plan, however, was to have the $5.7 million well project kick in again in the fall to ensure the safety of the potable supply for Chemainus. North Cowichan is the ham in the sandwich here as Supreme Court Justice Madam C.A. Wedge ruled it was the province, through the EAO, that failed to properly consult and accommodate the concerns of the Halalt. Only the province can clear this log jam. Come this fall, Chemainus residents will have to rely on a surface water collection system that has already been subject to frequent boil-water advisories due to water turbidity. VIHA has been patient but has maintained that if North Cowichan has to stick with the surface water system there will have to be signi¿cant

Discrimination is something that should not be tolerated in our society. Singling out drivers because they have reached a certain age is discrimination, plain and simple. Past behaviour is the best indicator of future behaviour. Why should we expect a man with a perfect driving record to suddenly get worse because of a birthday. Mandatory testing should only happen on a doctor’s order.

AN EXPERIMENT OF ONE

investment in treatment — perhaps as much as $12 million. Mayor Tom Walker acknowledges the municipality faces some urgent short term decisions but is waiting for the legal appeal period to expire in about three weeks. Until that occurs there is no way of knowing if Justice Wedge’s freezing of the project certi¿cate can be set aside during the appeal period. This would at least allow the wells to pump this winter, which is the time of least risk of depleting the aquifer. Meanwhile, Walker will be on the phone urging the provincial government to move as urgently as possible so North Cowichan has a clear idea of the options they must consider. Much has been made about this court decision setting important precedent. I agree, but I think the precedent set is different than what the Halalt band has been celebrating. First and foremost is that this decision signalled the court believes the duty to consult and

accommodate First Nations cannot, and will not, be taken lightly. Justice Wedge was withering in her criticism of what the EAO had described as “deep consultation.” She left little doubt it was anything but, in her view. On the matter of the judgement ¿nally conferring on First Nations access to control of sub-surface water, I don’t think that is as clear as treaty negotiators would like. In my view, the judge was simply saying Halalt had a legitimate case to be concerned about well water drawn from under their reserve, just like any private land owner would have; and should have the same opportunity to be consulted and accommodated.

Are wages and pensions for BC Ferries’ boss David Hahn too high? “Way too high. Where’s the money from the increased boarding fees going? What percentage goes to Hahn?”

Vendors try to revive Sunday market Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

T

he Cobble Hill Sunday Market is making a comeback. A few weeks after announcing it was folding its tables into permanent storage, the popular south-end social staple will be back in action this Sunday. Market devotee Heather Dickenson has agreed to oversee the revival on a temporary basis until a permanent replacement manager takes over. “I was one of the vendors and I just didn’t want to lose it and I didn’t want to see it go down,� Dickenson said Wednesday. “I am taking over temporarily.� Back in June, the News Leader

shopping stalls for many years. “I used to go and shop at the market and then I decided ‘Well maybe I’d like to be a vendor.’ There’s a closeness of the people and they’re very loyal and stick together. “When the market went down, I had talked to a number of the people and they all said, ‘Somebody’s got to do this. We can’t just leave this market.’â€? The market’s closure was mostly the result of the resignation of longtime manager Sheila Haughain and the inability to Âżnd a successor. For more information, contact Dickenson at 250-743-7018. The new Thursday market will also continue at the same location between 2 to 7 p.m. For information on that operation, call 250-510-8343.

Pictorial reported the Cobble Hill Sunday Market was swinging its doors shut and south-end residents were being offered the chance to warm up to a Thursday evening replacement. But for many, the food-oriented Thursday market wasn’t going to replace Sunday’s community-gathering feel. Dickenson said most long-time Sunday vendors, plus some new merchants, have already signed up for this weekend’s comeback. Stations will sprout in the Cobble Hill Youth Hall as well as the ¿eld and can be accessed from Watson and Fisher roads from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dickenson’s been a Sunday vendor for about a year, selling mostly plants and Àowers but has been

DATELINE: COWICHAN

by Ann Andersen

York Road School Grade 1 students promoted to Grade 2 included Isabella Woodward, Jaki Nakashima, Jimmy Cleough, Rick Purvey, Peter Gard, Dick Vogel, Charlie Kingston, Eleanor Butt, Dorothy Bonsall and David Plasket.

1937: picnics Several sporting events, a picnic lunch and supper were the order of the day when 150 Duncan United Church Sunday School pupils and teachers enjoyed their annual picnic at the church mission grounds beside the Cowichan River at Koksilah.

1937: roads The provincial government denied funding for Duncan city council’s project for concrete paving of Station Street between Craig and Government streets, where it formed part of the Island Highway.

e don’t see much logging sports around here any more — perhaps a bit of bucking at the Cowichan Exhibition. But back in the ¿rst half of the 20th century, the sport was alive and well; and Canada’s perennial timber champ lived right here in the Cowichan Valley. In July 1937, Glenora’s Allan N. Heyd, caterpillar “jockey” at William Grumbach’s logging operations at Hillbank retained his Canadian still sawing championship. This title is claimed to be equivalent to the British Empire championship, crowed the Leader. Heyd retained the title at the annual logging sports at Vancouver’s Hastings Park. Heyd cut through the 30-inch log in 2.52 minutes, six seconds ahead of Chris Bergdahl who actually made his living as a bucker. Heyd clinched the victory by using shorter, quicker strokes than his opponent. Two other Cowichan men Henry Robinson and Mervin Wren sawed in the eliminations with Robinson placing ¿fth. Two more titles came to Cowichan later that month when Heyd repeated his Vancouver victory to carry off the Washington state crown and Henry Robinson won the northwest chopping championship.

ope during bad times is Saturday’s Christianrock gift called Alive Inside. Spokesman Brandon Wall, of the hosting Friday’s Cry band, was stoked about support from giving families during last year’s bydonation event — generosity that’s being repeated this weekend. “Alive Inside’s about being able to lift people’s spirits — people face enough hard things in life.” That focus packed the Cowichan River Bible Camp site — holding about 2,000 fans — last year, so Wall advises reserving your free ticket online in advance. “Some will also be available at the gate,” he said, tuning for Alive Inside’s four headliners plus singersongwriters. Main acts include Friday’s Cry, Bondless, Grammy-nominated Leeland, and New Zealand rockers Rapture Ruckus who are now working in Nashville. “We just love hosting an event

The Grammy-nominated act Leeland is one of the headline acts during this weekend’s Alive Inside. through the Oasis Church of Duncan,” Wall said. “This started as a one-time thing but the response was overwhelming.” Other attractions include a kids carnival, and other amusements such as a mechanical bull. And it’s all gratis. “Last year was our ¿rst year going free, and the support was great so we’ve taken the pressure off ticket

Childhood meningitis can be a very dangerous, potentially fatal infection of the membranes covering the brain and spine. It can be caused by a virus but the more severe form is caused by bacteria. Symptoms to watch for are confusion, leg pain, rash, neck pain or stiffness and photophobia (extreme sensitivity to light). There is an effective vaccine available that protects against 80% of the disease strains. Saskatchewan joined many other provinces in Canada to ban the sale of tobacco products in pharmacies. B.C. and Manitoba are the only two provinces that still allow the sale of these products in pharmacies. It was back in 1939 that the drug warfarin was first isolated and used as a “blood thinner” to prevent blood clots in many medical conditions like atrial fibrillation. It is still commonly used

today and has saved many lives over the years. Perhaps hundreds of thousands of doctor visits are made each year to have earwax removed. This can be done at home by simply using an eye dropper to instil vegetable or mineral oil into the ear, then using an rubber bulb syringe and some warm water to syringe the wax out. This process can be repeated every few days. Never use cotton-tipped applicators in your ear.

So you wanna be in show business? A Chorus Line: youth theatre group brings island’s first version of Broadway classic 35–member cast boasting 19 leads, including several Cowichanians. “Chorus Line has never been done before on the island and we wanted lots of role choices for students to perform.” They’re using Kristopher Epps’ 13-piece stage band, Lindsay Sterk’s choreography and improv coach Lori Mazey’s advice. “It’s wall-to-wall dance for two hours,” promised Foot. The plot pivots on choreographer Zak (Cowichan’s Jordan Heath, 19) auditioning eight dancers for a show we never see. Instead, “they discover things about themselves through working with Zak, who wants to get to know them,” Foot said. “Each actor reveals things from their past and each has his or her moment on stage.” One moment sees Judy Turner (Cobble Hill’s Talietha Sangha, 17) auditioned by workaholic Zak. “Mazey’s taught me less is more, and now I’ve got a grasp on comical timing, and how to dance,” said the Frances Kelsey secondary student.

But director and valley tenor Ashley Daniel Foot explained his show’s local one-night-stand is no song-anddance romance created in just 11 days in Courtenay by his Comox Valley Youth Music Centre. “The moral,” he told the News Leader Pictorial, “is that so many young people have dreams to perform and this explores the cold, hard realities of what it means to be a success — and will you settle for second best or keep pushing?” His crew of global students and pros is pushing its limits to stage a show that could be another hit if CYMC’s recent versions of Rent (2009) and Sweeny Todd (2010) are any indication. “Chorus Line explores the life of a dancer and what it means to be a professional,” Foot said of his

Sangha wants a career in acting. “Chorus Line shows it’s an extremely dif¿cult business to get into, but I really can’t see myself doing anything else — either can my character. “You have to do it because you love it and everything will fall into place.” That notion’s recognized by Cowichan crooner Josiah George as Rick, and Heath’s Zak. Heath said his role is pure acting. “This show’s about stripping myself of theaterisms,” the UBC physics student said. “You don’t get this kind of theatre immersion; it’s three weeks of hardcore, 10 hours day — then you put on a high-level show. “The moral’s summed up in the ¿nal song What I Did For Love. “Even though the lives of dancers and performers are insecure and unstable, no one would change it because they love it.” Your ticket What: A Chorus Line When: July 27, 7:30 p.m. Where: Cowichan Theatre Tickets: $23.

Eaglesmith’s gritty, comic country tunes pushing the Limits in Saltair News Leader Pictorial

A

Fred Eaglesmith

lt-country headquarters open at Saltair City Limits during Saturday’s visit by Fred Eaglesmith and company. Fredheads have come to expect vocals by The Fabulous Ginn Sisters backing Eaglesmith’s band, and SCL will be no exception. Songwriters Jenny Allen and Leslie Alexander will warm the stage with their insightful brand of countri¿ed folk-rock featuring hurtin’, yearnin’ songs heavy

with life’s little ironies. Both singers have a raft of CDs under their own names. The twosome is performing under its Dirty Laundry dual CD Release Tour 2011. Meanwhile, painful stains of lipstick, lies and gasoline are the stuff Eaglesmith’s addictive songs. Ask any Fredhead who follows his stage exploits — often laced with comical asides — across Canada and the states, and over to Europe. He’s likely to play cuts from his latest disc 6 Volts in Saltair, plus numbers from his various recordings made during the past 30-odd years.

His lyrics do the talking about the spills and thrills of fast cars, faster women, dead pals, loaded guns, trains, bad whiskey, dirty crimes — and standing up for the little guy. Folks are still talking about Juno-winning Eaglesmith’s cameo on The Letterman Show. They’re also proud his chestnut tune, Freight Train, was picked up by country superstar Alan Jackson. Ultimately, it’s all about what Eaglesmith calls “the weirdest little career that works so well.” “No matter where I go in the world, there’s always 100 or 200 people willing to shell out 20 bucks to see me,” said Eaglesmith. “I can drive down some little sheep

From Mom & Dad and all the family

DEATHS

SAGE, Gerry Gerry was born in the small town of Lacombe, Alberta on November 4th, 1936. At a young age, he and his family moved to the big city of Calgary. Even at an early age he had the true spirit of an adventurer. After completing High school, he was not content to stay put, so he boarded a freighter bound for the South PaciďŹ c and Australia. Upon returning to Canada, he met his true love Ola. The two soul mates were married in 1961, packed up their belongings, and headed for Santa Barbara, California. He enrolled in the Brooks Institute, and graduated with a degree in photography and ďŹ lm. He moved back to Calgary with Ola to start a family and a career. He made documentaries in the Soviet Union at the height of the cold war and above the Arctic Circle at a time when few even contemplated the journey. As busy as he was at the time, he always remained a dedicated husband and father. Gerry shared a love of the coast with Ola and shortly after retirement, they relocated to the community of Chemainus on Vancouver Island. This coastal lifestyle led to many fond memories of boating excursions, beach walks, ďŹ shing trips and drives through the Cowichan Valley. Living on the coast also enabled Gerry to spend time sharing some of these experiences with his beloved granddaughters, Sophie, Claire and Mia. Gerry had a larger than life personality, but he had an amazing ability to put others at ease. His family and friends loved him dearly, and everyone felt comfortable in his presence. After a courageous battle with cancer, Gerry passed away peacefully in Victoria on July 15th, 2011. He is survived by his wife Ola; children Natalie (Mike), Chris (Chieh), his granddaughters, Sophie, Claire and Mia, and brother Bob (Helen). Heartfelt thanks are extended to the staff at the Royal Jubilee hospital for the compassionate care provided to Gerry during his illness. A mass will be held in Chemainus at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church (9727 Elm Street) on WEDNESDAY, JULY 27th at 1:00 p.m. with a reception to follow at the Chemainus Seniors Centre (9824 Willow Street). In lieu of owers, donations to World Vision Canada (http://www.worldvision.ca/Pages/ welcome.aspx) would be appreciated.

Action started Friday and ran through Sunday, but it was Saturday that caused organizers concern when two downpours drenched the ¿elds. “Mother Nature did not want to cooperate with us at all,’’ said tournament director Amber Paddle. A late-morning downpour left organizers no choice but to cancel the opening ceremonies at noon Saturday to keep the game schedule running on time. The two-hour delay worked out and, after conditions improved for a while to get some games in, another heavy rainfall around 5 p.m. closed the ¿elds for the day. “It was incredible. You couldn’t even see on the ¿eld,’’ said Paddle. The test after that was to revamp the schedule to ¿nish on time Sunday. Fortunately, no more cancellations were required as the weather improved enough to get through the

¿nal day. “We had to do some creative ¿eld maintenance,’’ said Paddle. The ef¿cient volunteer grounds crew put the ¿nishing touches on the ¿eld for a heavier schedule Sunday. “Actually, there was some blue sky and sunshine on Sunday,’’ said Paddle. Amid the rainfalls, some great baseball was displayed by the young players in the tournament on teams from Duncan, Campbell River, Nanaimo, Gordon Head, Triangle, Lake Cowichan, Chemainus, Oceanside and Carnarvon. “Everybody played really well,’’ said Paddle. “It was fantastic. It was so neat to see. They play some amazing ball at that age.’’ The host association was thrilled to have two teams in the semi¿nals. Before that, the Duncan White Sox and Red Devils met in the ¿nal round robin game to see who would advance. “It was a win-win, but it was a lose-lose because one Duncan team was going to be knocked out,’’ said Paddle. The Duncan Dodgers and the Carnarvon Cannons wound up playing for the gold medal and it went to extra innings. The Dodgers, coached by Tony Webb and Doug Cornett, were the winners. Greyson Godin was the MVP of the ¿nals. He pitched a gem and

made some great defensive plays from the out¿eld. All the Dodgers had key hits and made plays at the right time. The coaches were extremely proud how much the players improved in the three weeks of practice leading up to the tournament. The Duncan Red Devils trailed the Pirates by a large margin, but came back to win the bronze medal. The Red Devils were coached to their third-place ¿nish by Dean Keck and Randy Branting. The second-year players really picked it up for the Red Devils, starting with Nicholas Keck laying down a perfect bunt in the third inning. Coehn Keck moved him to third with a single and Daniel Larson followed with a double to score the twins. In the last inning, the younger players led things off and loaded the bases. Nicholas Keck then teed off on the ¿rst pitch for a grand slam home run that brought the Red Devils within two. Coehn Keck singled and stole second and Larson did the same. With two out, it came down to Colton Gareau, who smashed a line drive that allowed Larson to score. Each game was four innings. Players pitch for one inning and the rest was done with a pitching machine. “It really speeds the game up,’’ said Paddle.

COMPETITION

Mustangs beat Kamloops twice and now have 12 wins on the season The Cowichan Valley Mustangs won two games against the worst team in the B.C. Minor Bantam AAA Baseball League and gave the frontrunners a run for their money in weekend action. The Mustangs swept Kamloops 11-1 and 15-7 Saturday and played the Vancouver Mounties tough Sunday in a

tight 4-1 loss. Zach Diewert went the distance pitching in the first game against Kamloops. “We played some good sound defense in that game,’’ said manager Dean Eaton. Max Winter started in the second game, with relief help from Jared

Champoux. Zach Komst, pictured, led the offense with a home run. Robert Busch pitched well against Vancouver before being relieved by Adam Sakuma. Diewert homered for the Mustangs’ lone run. Shawn Arabsky and T.J. Mah played great in the middle infield.

Poland at home in Boston, but won’t back Bruins Top of her game: Cowichan field hockey sensation ignites Northeastern’s offense with prolific play Don Bodger

C

rystal Poland isn’t being swayed by her surroundings to become a Boston Bruins’ fan. Despite spending the last two seasons playing ¿eld hockey at Northeastern University in the heart of Boston, Poland couldn’t bring herself to cheer against the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup ¿nal. “God, no,’’ she said. “I’m from the island. You’ve got to love the Canucks. My dad’s a Bruins’ fan, though. We were bickering back and forth.’’ Poland’s many new friends on the Northeastern ¿eld hockey team and from elsewhere in the region know her allegiances only go so far. Poland went to see a Boston Red Sox Major League baseball game during her freshman year and took some heat from the fans. “I wore my Canucks’ T-shirt,’’ she said. “Everyone was yelling at me. It was fun.’’ Bostonians would be wise to cut Poland some slack. After all, the valley product is ripping up the scoring records at Northeastern and putting her heart and soul into making the team a contender each season. In 2009, Poland started all 18 games and was named the Colonial Athletic Association’s rookie of the year. Obviously, she also made the CAA all-rookie team and was named to the all-CAA ¿rst all-star team.

Poland led the team in goals, points, shots, shots on goal and game-winning goals and tied for the lead in assists. In 2010, Poland was named to the CAA all-tournament team and scored a bunch of goals again, including four and two assists in one week. “It was awesome to play really competitively,’’ she said. “All of a sudden all these awards keep showing up. I was thinking, ‘what’s going on, we don’t have this in Canada.’’’ Poland is poised to have another banner season after spending time in the valley during the summer to assist young players with their skills. “It’s actually Àown by,’’ said Poland of her two seasons at Northeastern. “I can’t believe I’m halfway done my NCAA career.’’ Poland never felt intimidated when she ¿rst made the move to Northeastern. “I think I was just really excited that everything was new — new team, new friends, new coaches, new city, new everything.’’ Poland took a year off after graduating from high school and she feels it was a good move. “It helped me to actually decide what I really wanted instead of making a rush decision in a month,’’ she said. “I hadn’t even thought about college or university in the States till about Grade 12. I don’t like making rush decisions.’’ During her year off school, Poland was carded by the national team, lived and

worked in Vancouver and did lots of training. “It just kind of opened my eyes to how hard you train during practice and to get that ¿tness level up,’’ she said. Zowie Tucker, now the head coach of Holy Cross, steered Poland in Northeastern’s direction at the time. Coach Cheryl Murtagh had seen Poland play at regional competition and wanted her to attend Northeastern the previous season. But Poland decided to wait it out, and then visited Northeastern and James Madison before being swayed toward the former by Pam Aldridge of Richmond. “She took me shopping,’’ joked Poland. “That was one of the deciding factors, not just shopping but being out there in the city.’’ Northeastern is a co-op school and, after two years of courses, Poland hopes to do co-op for six months next spring. In the meantime, Poland will continue to play hard for Northeastern to become a better team. The motivation to perform well is always there. “There’s a lot of people competing for spots,’’ Poland said. “Your spot is never secure. It teaches you to keep pushing even more. Obviously, there’s pressure to win. But there’s pressure to play well and keep your spot.’’ Going into her third year, Poland knows it’s going to be tough to beat what she’s done. “Whatever happens, happens. I don’t ever try to worry about what recognition you get. I just like playing.’’

Don Bodger

It’s like Crystal Poland has the ball on a string, considering her success at every level of Äeld hockey.

Cowichan and Carico combine for a record-setting scoring pace Don Bodger

J

ust because you beat the best, it doesn’t guarantee a victory over the third-place team. Cowichan’s cricket team found that out the hard way Sunday at Shawnigan Lake. After handing United Victoria its ¿rst defeat of the season in the Victoria and District Cricket Association, Cowichan took on third-place Carico and suffered a loss but not without a mammoth ¿ght. In one of the most exciting cricket matches you’ll ever see, the teams combined for 535 runs — an impressive ¿gure in a 90-over game at any level. The run total was the highest of any game

Sky’s the limit: Cricket squads amass 535 runs as bowlers take a beating trying to subdue brilliant batsmen in 2011. Cowichan won the toss but made the decision to take the ¿eld ¿rst. Carico set a blistering pace with 272 for seven after its 45 over innings. Cowichan’s superb bowler Brent Johns found it dif¿cult to keep his line near enough to the stumps. Nagy Thomas ¿nished with the best statistics of three wickets for 47 runs but suffered the same fate as the others and couldn’t get on top of the Carico batting. Cowichan knew it was a huge task to try and overcome the Carico total.

Adam Benning opened the innings but lost three partners within the ¿rst 14 overs with the score at three for 70. When joined by captain Clayton Bodkyn, however, they went on the attack and found the boundary with ease. Benning notched no less than 15 fours en route to a century and Bodkyn ¿nished with 83 that included four sixes — two that were hit deep into an adjacent wooded property. The balls weren’t retrieved. Benning departed with Cowichan at 170 and the challenge continued when Johns came to the

wicket and the total moved to 230 for four. Amazingly, a victory came into sight with 43 runs needed and six wickets in hand. But the unpredictable game of cricket played a cruel trick. First, Bodkyn was bowled and the wheels fell off. The next four batsmen were under pressure to score quickly. Johns had some success, taking his tally to 40 not out. With one over to go, 11 runs were needed and he was at the wrong end not facing the bowler. A mix-up to ¿nd an extra run left Stuart Munger stranded and he was run out. Cowichan ended all out for 263, just nine short. Next up for Cowichan is another game at Shawnigan Lake Aug. 7 against Oak Bay.

Canadian women’s amateur title will be decided Friday Duncan Meadows: Fine field sets a mean pace Don Bodger

Heavy driver of Augusta James of Bath, Ontario, above, leads to a booming tee shot on the Ärst hole during the second round of the Royale Cup Canadian Women’s Amateur championships Wednesday at Duncan Meadow Golf Course. Right, Christina Proteau of Alberni chips a shot onto the second green.

he Royale Cup Canadian Women’s Amateur Golf Championship will be decided Friday afternoon at Duncan Meadows Golf Course. Several players put themselves into contention after the cut was made Wednesday to the low 70 plus ties. Vivian Tsui of Markham, Ont. was the ¿rst round leader with a 71. She was the only player to break par on the ¿rst day at one-under. Island favourite Christina Proteau of Port Alberni was just two shots back after the ¿rst round with a 73, but ballooned

to an 83 on the second day to fall back from the leaders. It was expected to be a ¿ght to the ¿nish with so many great young players in the ¿eld. The tournament not only features top Canadians, but golfers from all over the United States, and even from Australia, Mexico and Argentina. The valley was represented by Karen Kloske of Lake Cowichan, Darleen Michell of Ladysmith and Cobble Hill’s Janet Ruest. All three missed the cut. Conditions were windy on the ¿rst day and golfers had to contend with a light drizzle at times Wednesday. Players have been enjoying the hospitality provided by hosts Ming and Grace Hui.

Zurrer reÅects on the World Cup Back home: National team defender on a break until training resumes in September Don Bodger

World Cup soccer jersey is displayed by Emily Zurrer. She’s currently enjoying a break from soccer. “I want to take advantage of this time to see people I haven’t seen for a while,’’ she said.

alley soccer star Emily Zurrer and her Canadian teammates certainly weren’t alone in the heartbreak they felt during the World Cup women’s tournament in Germany. The Canadians were crushed, to say the least, after bowing out of the tournament with three straight losses. But host Germany quickly followed suit with a quarter¿nal loss to Japan and the United States perhaps had the hardest pill to swallow after losing the championship match Sunday on penalty kicks. The only team that obviously came out of it 100 per cent satis¿ed were the champion Japanese, the ¿rst Asian country to win the title. It’s all part of the changing landscape in women’s soccer that made this the most exciting tournament ever. The gap between the so-called top and lower-ranked teams narrowed considerably. “The tournament was good for women’s soccer in general,’’ said Zurrer, who’s now back at home in the valley enjoying a break from the game for a while. “The games were all really exciting.’’ The Canadians went into the tournament playing superb soccer, but couldn’t keep it going and lost 2-1 to Germany, 4-0 to France and 1-0 to

“I’ve overcome some hard times in my career. I’d de¿nitely have to say this is the hardest.”

Zurrer Nigeria. “I just hope people realize one tournament doesn’t de¿ne us,’’ said Zurrer. “It was a good experience, even though we didn’t do as well as we would have liked.’’ The Canadian team was well prepared but things just didn’t come together during the tournament. “I’ve overcome some hard times in my career,’’ said Zurrer. “I’d de¿nitely have to say this is the hardest.’’ Zurrer said the team felt it could build on the good things that happened against Germany in the opener. “Against France, it was almost like everything that could have gone wrong went wrong,’’ she said. “They showed up that day and we didn’t. To be an athlete you have to deal with those successes and losses and failures. I honestly think we’ll be better because of this.’’ There has been much ¿nger-pointing by the media and soccer of¿cials about what happened, but Zurrer and her teammates are standing

behind each other and coach Carolina Morace. “You can always say ‘what if?’ said Zurrer. “There’s so many factors go into a performance. I think we grew enormously as a team. I don’t think we’re going to have to revamp our whole program or anything like that. “We win as a team, we lose as a team. We’re sticking together through this and I de¿nitely don’t think the coach is the one to blame.’’ The structure of Canadian soccer can always be better, with more money and a domestic league for development seen as key factors. “European team do put a lot more money, focus and effort into their youth programs,’’ said Zurrer. “That’s something we’re lacking a little bit.’’ Zurrer is currently enjoying a break before training begins again in September in Vancouver. Olympic qualifying takes place next January for one of two spots from the region in the 2012 Olympics at London, England. In the meantime, a fundraiser for breast cancer involving Zurrer and the Canadian team is coming to a close this week. Players’ sports bras are being auctioned off for the cause. All the sports bras are unique. “We put our own little Àair on them,’’ said Zurrer. Zurrer’s mom Lesley has had breast cancer so she was happy to take part. “It’s dear to my heart, for sure,’’ she said.
