Cyclist airlifted from Duncan in critical condition
A
cyclist was airlifted to Victoria General Hospital with critical injuries following a collision with a truck Thursday morning in Duncan. The 20-year-old cyclist, travelling along Moor¿eld Road toward Lane, was not wearing a helmet at the time of the incident. The cyclist was hit by a Chevy pick-up truck that had the right of the way, according to North Cowichan-Duncan RCMP Cpl. Chris Swain. “From what witnesses are telling us, the bike didn’t stop,’’ he said. The driver of the truck was not injured. The cyclist was transported to Cowichan District Hospital by ambulance and then on to Victoria by helicopter. Names are not being released and further information was unavailable at press time.

T
he president of the Chester¿eld Sports Society is hopeful a proposal put forward by the Cowichan Valley Regional District will alleviate the Cowichan Sportsplex’s funding crisis. “I would say at this moment, we’re guardedly-optimistic,’’ said Don McClintock. The CVRD will be conducting a poll of

member municipalities and electoral areas to determine an annual ¿nancial contribution service of $146,000 in 2013 to fund the Sportsplex. The society has been seeking a long-term solution for its funding (see related story, page 7). “It will resolve the budget problems that have gradually arisen here,’’ said McClintock. But the CVRD is only one part of the puzzle,’ he added. “We’ve also got the Municipality of North Cowichan, our other major funder.’’ The society will be discussing matters with the City of Duncan next Tuesday. School District 79 has already stepped up to the plate, according to McClintock, by increasing its funding allocation by $5,000.

The Sportsplex has been receiving a grant-in-aid each year from the CVRD. The annual contribution service would eliminate the need for the society to make continual grant requests and give it more certainty. “By doing it every year, it’s subject to a lot of discussion each year at budget time,’’ said Joe Barry, the CVRD’s manager of legislative services. “It’s moving it away from a regional grant in-aid to a budget line item.’’ The cost per $100,000 assessment to fund the Sportsplex is currently 64 cents. The proposal would increase the amount to 94 cents. That’s assuming all 13 jurisdictions participate in the proposed service. “If four say not today, that cost will increase,’’ said Barry. “I can’t tell the four municipal councils

exactly how much it’s going to cost until I know who’s in. That’s why we have to do a poll. “Based on what I get back, we will draft a bylaw.’’ Time is already of the essence for the pieces to fall into place for 2013. “We do need to go to the public,’’ said Barry. “There is a public approval process for this that is required.’’ The CVRD would be looking at adopting a bylaw in January or February of 2013 toward a March deadline. “I don’t have a lot of room if the process is delayed,’’ said Barry. “If everybody is to say yes, this is doable (for 2013). That’s if the public says yes as well.’’ more on page 7
rentwood College pride is reÀected in the lustre of Canada’s ¿rst non-bronze medal of the 2012 London Olympics. Malcolm Howard, a 2001 Brentwood graduate, served as captain of the men’s eight rowing crew that surged past the British in the late stages and claimed a silver medal behind the powerful Germans Wednesday. Howard was one of just three holdovers on the crew that won gold in Beijing in 2008 with Andrew Byrnes and coxswain Brian Price. The young crew started the Olympics with a disappointing result in the heats, but executed a great tactical race in the ¿nal. “It was not losing the gold medal, it was winning the silver medal,’’ said current Brentwood Head of Rowing Brian Carr about the ecstatic reaction of the crew members after the race. “These young guys put in a phenomenal performance.’’ Howard was front and centre again with his teammates Thursday, watching the Canadian women’s eight follow suit with a silver medal in its race. “He met Prince Harry (Thursday) morning,’’ said Carr. “The men’s eight watched the race at Canada House.’’ Ad that’s where Prince Harry just happened to show up for a visit. more on page 10

When do you stop taking a prescription medication? It is always best to consult your doctor about whether it’s OK to discontinue a drug. It can be dangerous to stop “cold turkey�. Our pharmacists can supply some guidance on this subject.

The anticoagulant, warfarin, (popularly known as a “blood thinner�), has many drug and food interactions. For example, leafy green vegetables contain vitamin K which can work against the warfarin. However, this doesn’t mean cutting these foods out of your diet totally. Just be consistent with the amount you consume daily and your warfarin dose will be adjusted accordingly.

Pharmacists are asked questions about new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The use of coconut oil to improve AD symptoms is one of those questions. So far the evidence is minimal but some people are willing to try it. Remember that one tablespoonful of coconut oil contains 120 calories and 12 grams of saturated fat. It’s good to tell your doctor you are doing this.

Vision 2012: Cowichan, then and now
SPOTLIGHT
2012 marks a special year in Cowichan. And it marks a special year for our annual Vision snapshot on the community’s progress. As we celebrate the 100th birthday of the city of Duncan, the 100th anniversary of Bamberton, and numerous other smaller milestones, we thought it would be fitting that this annual publication focused on looking forward, takes a look back as well.
Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 3
Included in todat’s edition of the News Leader Pictorial is a then and now snapshot of life in Cowichan. Areas like education, health, recreation and shopping are given the present and past treatment in this 36-page insert. Check out the exploration of Duncan’s cityscape below for a taste of what’s in store inside.

uncan’s streetscape has form, but function needs ¿ne-tuning to improve traf¿c, tourism and livability. That’s the view of heritage builder David Coulson, co-author of the city’s urban blueprint Plan Of Action 2002: Revitalizing Duncan’s Downtown Neighbourhood. He cited inaction on long-promised highway “gateways, and recognition of old-town Duncan, in combination with (stopping) over-developed highway frontage/blockage on the strip mall running north-south through the city.” But Coulson applauded development of VIU at the city’s north end. “It’s a nice signature piece entering from the north, but there’s no clear gateway —

One stolen ATV leads to another in backwoods Shawnigan Lake
A
n ATV patrol by Shawnigan Lake RCMP members Saturday afternoon uncovered more about an Arctic Cat quad that appeared to have been involved in a collision. Police subsequently discovered the ATV had been reported stolen to North Cowichan-Duncan RCMP on June 19. Patrols were being conducted in the Quarry recreation area when police encountered the ATV
with front-end damage. A 41-year-old male was seen in the vicinity as the scene was being investigated, but claimed to know nothing about the ATV. A witness was located who identi¿ed the male as the driver of the ATV. The man was arrested for possession of stolen property, but did not comply with of¿cers’ instructions and had to be physically controlled, resulting in an additional charge of resisting arrest. The man was released on a promise to appear
and will appear in court in September. The story didn’t end there. Police encountered a Ford Ranger truck with an ATV in the box at a checkstop that same evening around 11 p.m. De¿ciencies were discovered with the vehicle’s mechanical state and the 30-year-old male’s driver’s license. The driver of the truck told police it belonged to a friend and he was just driving it. It was con¿rmed the truck belonged to the 41-year-old
arrested earlier in the day. The second ATV was reported stolen to Nanaimo RCMP on July 16 and the driver from the Bowser area was arrested for possession of stolen property. A search of the truck uncovered other stolen items, including a laptop, cellphones, chargers. motorbike helmets and clothing. The items had been reported stolen earlier in the day from two cars in the parking lot for Trans-Canada Trail access off Sooke Lake Road.

Class system evident in historic Duncan from page 3
Farmers won that struggle. “You had the Cowichan Creamery where the Caprice Theatre is today,” he said of the landmark that later burned. “There was no refrigeration so farmers had to bring their milk in every day. The agricultural component was brought home to Duncan every day.” Times changed. “After late ‘20s, forestry became the area’s dominant activity, and the city started reÀecting those values. “At one time, there were ¿ve rail sidings, and it wasn’t unusual for four of them to be full of logs — the downtown businessperson was reminded everyday of the logging activity here.” Paved streets replaced muddy lanes with plank walkways; phone service — B.C. Telephone of¿ces were on Ingram Street where the Telus building is — and electricity (Pots & Paraphernalia occupies
The view looking north on Station Street in the early days of Duncan. the former red-brick power plant). “When vehicles came, they widened the roads and cut down lots of trees like broadleafs along Ingram.” Progress eluded Cowichan’s Native people who clung to traditional ways along the Cowicher River, in Quamichan, Somenos and elsewhere. But a class system bloomed in Duncan with social news reported in the Cowichan Leader. “There was Chinatown (Government and Jubilee streets, now the Round Building), a working-class area at the bottom of hospital hill (Cairnsmore Street),
and a more professional class on hospital hill near King’s Daughters’ Hospital,” Henry said. “You had almost an aristocracy with monied Englishmen on the outskirts. “Lots of people said Duncan differed from other Canadian cities because they had three classes: pioneers, First Nations, and English longstockings.” The well-heeled frequented shops on Station, Craig, Kenneth and Ingram streets. “Duncan reÀected the interests of that English class with British newspapers sold, and strange foods available — like toad in the
hold (a sausage dish).” The Quamichan (near Sands Funeral Home), Alderlea (now the Phoenix Inn) and Tzouhalem hotels also mirrored topmost tastes. “The Tzouhalem was very elegant,” Henry said of the gravel lot at Canada and Trunk. “It served visiting Brits, but that class waned as the logging community grew, and the Tzou became a famous beer hall for loggers.” Dance halls were also hip in the pre-TV days. “People went out just to go dancing. There was a dance hall at Ingram, and on Station. Nearby sat Chinatown peddling food, opium and cheap lodgings. “The biggest loss without a doubt was Chinatown, “ Henry said of the site razed in the ‘60s. “Duncan could have had an amazing feature, but it’s easy to judge people’s past actions — the Round Building seemed like progress.” — Peter W. Rusland
Police ofÄcers continue to target Malahat speeders
I
s getting to Victoria in a hurry really worth the money? We’re talking the $368 ¿ne for excessive speeding police handed to a Qualicum Beach man last week on the Malahat Drive. The 61-year-old was ticketed after the Capital Regional District’s Integrated Road Safety Unit clocked his 2000 Toyota Camry travelling at 140 kilometres per hour in an 80 km/h zone. An RCMP media release stated the
Attention Boaters: we offer MARKED
MID GRADE FUEL
vehicle, which belonged to his wife, was impounded for seven days. The release was issued as police attempted to drive home the message to motorists who use the Malahat to take extra care this summer and be on the lookout for construction workers as the improvements to the highway are completed. Gaining a few extra seconds on your trip by exceeding the speed limit is not worth the life of another motorist or those who are working
to make improvements to this highway, Cpl. Ryan Bacica of the CRD IRSU said. Speed enforcement will continue to be a high priority on the Malahat this summer. Drivers must slow down and move over for stopped emergency vehicles and tow trucks or face a $173 ticket plus three points on their licence. The ¿nes for speeding in this province range from $138 to $483.” — John McKinley

uck up or we’re out. The Chester¿eld Sports Society, the non-pro¿t group that manages Cowichan Sportsplex operations, says that if local government does not increase its funding support, the society will be forced to relinquish responsibility for the facility. Its problems are twofold: a projected year-end de¿cit for 2012, and the certainty that de¿cit will continue to grow. To make up for its shortfall, the society has drawn from its capital reserve fund — money set aside to cover maintenance and upgrading costs for the track and turf ¿elds. If it continues, the de¿cit will be $44,000 next year, and $90,000 the year after that. “About two years ago, we had to spend $98,000 to resurface the track. Within about ¿ve years we will have to replace the arti¿cial turf. The cost of doing that today is $550,000. We have been setting aside a signi¿cant amount of money to meet that cost coming down the road,” society president Don McClintock said. “The budgetary de¿cit is currently $15,000 on a budget of over $350,000.

McClintock said that is not the solution because municipal operation comes at a signi¿cantly higher cost. “They would lose corporate sponsors, private donors and would have to hire staff at union rates rather than at non-union rates that we have at present time. Nobody is debating this point. Everyone at the Municipality of North Cowichan and CVRD recognizes that our operating costs are signi¿cantly below Kerry Park and other local facilities.” North Cowichan Councillor Al Siebring agrees McClintock has a good point. “At the end of the day, the facility is in North Cowichan. We own the land, and if this isn’t resolved in a way that establishes a long-term, sustainable funding model for the present operational structure, we could very well end up with a much more expensive operational problem on our hands down the line.”

If the numbers work, boundary shufÅe OK here Federal shift: shouldn’t be significant to local voters
W
e like to think of political ridings as tight little pockets of community where people share values and ideas, and elect a representative who will carry those values and ideals to Ottawa. Reality, of course, is something far different. And you should think about that before you get too excited about a proposed federal electoral boundary that will lop the “Nanaimo” off the top of Nanaimo-Cowichan, and weld Greater Victoria’s western communities and Sooke onto Cowichan’s hindquarters. Federal electoral boundaries may attempt to take into account such things as geography and culture. But in reality Langford or they are purely political constructs built Nanaimo a six of with the overriding factor of fair representation by population. one, half-dozen of If you really want to argue the farmers the other choice of Cowichan Station and the well-heeled import retirees of Arbutus Ridge have a lot more in common with the traditionally working class strongholds of Ladysmith and south Nanaimo, than they do with the young families of Colwood and the West Coast eccentrics of Sooke, ¿ll your boots. But most of the noise you will hear will be political posturing. The fact of the matter is we are all Canadians and Vancouver Islanders, and we will all get one vote. That vote will inÀuence what political party gets control of our country and what person will be your conduit to those corridors of powers. And, ultimately, that comes down to the candidates themselves. Whether your neighbours to the north, or the south share in your selection ultimately won’t matter much at all. Certainly the riding won’t become so sprawling the change will suddenly make your MP inaccessible. If the boundary shufÀe results in a more equitable Parliamentary breakdown and fair representation for Cowichan, it gets our full support.
We say:
Seeing both sides of: more arts funding for Cowichan The case against
The case for It’s a well-demonstrated fact that cities with vibrant arts and culture scenes are more desirable places to visit and to live in. Government has the power to encourage that with grants and commissions. It’s an investment that will pay off with more connected communities and more economic development. We all win.
Should local government provide incentives for local arts events like Shawnigan Players recent Pride and Prejudice?
Arts and culture can best be defined as one man’s trash being another man’s treasure. And if Cowichan’s arts and culture community is not able to thrive on its own merits, why should the taxpayer be asked to subsidize it? Local taxpayers are already being forced to pinch and scrape to keep our bloated local government afloat. Enough is enough.
The Gold Trails and Ghost Towns of Bill Barlee Tom Fletcher Black Press
S
hortly after word came of the death of B.C. historian and politician Bill Barlee, my wife searched through her seemingly endless trove of B.C. books and produced half a dozen of his original self-published quarterlies, known as Canada West magazine. The earliest one is Winter 1970, where the publisher’s note advises that subscription rates were increasing 20 cents per year to $2.95. Subscriptions were up to more than 1,600 and counter sales were increasing, but costs were also up and Barlee refused to accept either display advertising or U.S. subscriptions. The only colour pages in the issue are highquality prints of four majestic paintings commissioned for the magazine. Irvine Adams’ scenes of sacred aboriginal sites in the OkanaganSimilkameen include The Gateway to Inkameep, where Barlee remarks: “Today that stream
which once teemed with red¿sh no longer surrenders its once-valued harvest and the perimeter of the desert is gradually being eroded by man’s questionable progress.” With the typography of Old West wanted posters, Barlee provided tightly sourced accounts of B.C.’s legends. Lost gold mine at Pitt Lake analyzes and adds to earlier accounts that begin with an aboriginal miner known as Slumach, who would periodically arrive in New Westminster to squander a small fortune in gold, then disappear up the remote tidal lake. Slumach was hanged for murder in 1891 and in the next 70 years, 11 more men would die trying to ¿nd his secret. A scientist as well as a storyteller, Barlee concluded that the area’s geology is wrong and the fabled goldladen creek “probably does not exist.” A passion for prospecting runs through the magazines, and hints at Barlee’s aversion to treasure-seeking Americans. They overran B.C. in historic waves to take gold, and according to Nelson Star reporter Greg Nesteroff, Barlee
BC VIEWS
believed they continued to loot Canadian heritage sites. Nesteroff was inspired by Barlee’s work, and traced his lonely mission to restore the ghost town of Sandon, “the mining capital of the Silvery Slocan.” Barlee bought a surviving block of buildings in an effort to make Sandon another Barkerville, but heavy snow collapsed them. As tourism minister, Barlee found money to build replicas, and construction began on three. But Barlee lost his Penticton seat to Bill Barisoff in the 1996 election, and today only half-built shells remain. Barlee’s 1972 Canada West pro¿le of the boomtown of Hedley would resonate in his career as an NDP MLA and cabinet minister in the 1990s. Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the ¿ght to preserve their history. Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the
rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert. I ¿rst discovered Barlee as a reporter at the Kelowna Capital News in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A bare-bones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade. Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classi¿ed ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

Swimmers are bypassing aquatic centre, status quo not working
Join Victoria, Oak Bay, Vancouver and New York on the backyard chicken bandwagon
Dear editor We moved to the Cowichan Valley a year ago with our two young children. Imagine how shocked we were to learn we had to pay a $350 access fee at the local (and only) pool before we could even register our children for swimming lessons! Learning how to swim is a basic life skill, especially here in a valley full of rivers, lakes, and surrounded by an ocean. A community centre with an accessible pool is absolutely essential for children. Due to the restrictions and high costs, there are families in this valley who are simply not taking their children swimming. Or they are going elsewhere. We currently drive by the Cowichan Aquatic Centre and go to Ladysmith. We are not alone; most families I know (all with young children) make day trips to Victoria or Nanaimo and include a swim in their day. This money could be going directly back into our community. Instead, due to a political debacle, these families are all supporting other pools. I empathize with all the taxpayers whose council members opted in, but clearly something went wrong during the political process. And clearly the present situation is not working. Linda Dirksen Gale

SIA proposal: District declares opposition, plans bylaw banning watershed dumping John McKinley
News Leader Pictorial
T
he Cowichan Valley Regional District has delivered the message to the province as clearly as possible: “No” to the South Island Aggregates contaminated soil proposal and “no” to any similar dumping in any Cowichan watershed area, period. The district plans to begin work on a bylaw that would ban dumping in Cowichan watersheds, and wants to work with the provincial environment ministry to pinpoint non-watershed areas where such activity could potentially safely take place. The message was unanimously endorsed by CVRD directors during a meeting last night. Shawnigan Lake director Bruce Fraser said directors are tired of a situation he feels amounts to a provincial dereliction of duty — an out-of-site, out-of-mind mindset in the capital that allows out-of-area developers to dump in Cowichan virtually at will. “Basically what we have is an out-of-control situation. The regulations are in place, but they don’t
Krista Siefken/¿le
CVRD chairman Rob Hutchins speaks during a July public meeting on the SIA proposal. have the capacity to enforce them,” he said. Of particular concern is the potential to affect the Shawnigan Lake water supply. “Victoria would recoil in horror at this in their watershed,” Fraser said. According to Fraser, the province had rejected an earlier attempt by the CVRD to ban out-of-area dumping. What makes this attempt different is the focus on watershed areas, and a willingness by the CVRD to accept the necessity of some dumping and work toward ¿nding the most suitable locations. SIA maintains its proposal includes all the necessary safeguards and could actually reduce the risk to the watershed by offering treatment
and reducing incidents of illegal dumping. While Fraser acknowledged the board’s concern is far wider than the speci¿c SIA proposal, he said that proposal cannot be supported given the high level of pubic concern. “The public is being asked to accept a level of risk without knowing what that risk will be,” he said. The province has no obligation to heed CVRD wishes with either the SIA proposal, or the bylaw, but public response is one factor ministry staff is required to take into account with SIA. Fraser hopes that will be enough. “I would certainly hope so, otherwise there would be absolutely hell to pay.”
Braithwaite qualiÄes for rowing B Änals from page 1
The Canadian women’s eight also has a Brentwood connection. Crew member Lauren Wilkinson’s dad David is a 1971 grad. More excitement from a Brentwood standpoint is coming up Friday when Dave Calder and Scott Frandsen, 1996 and 1998 grads of the school, respectively, go for the medals in the men’s coxless pair. They quali¿ed as the third and ¿nal entry for the ¿nal from their semi¿nal race. “Gold medals are not won in the semi¿nals,’’ said Carr. “They’ve done what they wanted to do and
made the ¿nal.’’ Carr’s father Tony Carr, his predecessor as Brentwood Head of Rowing, formerly coached the rowers and is in London for a ¿rst-hand look at the action. Meanwhile, the hype at Brentwood over having former students in 10 straight Olympics keeps accelerating. That’s indicative from the Brentwood Facebook page. “I’m getting comments from alumni from the last 30 years that use Facebook that are sending messages,’’ said Carr. “You’ve got the alumni and the present kids who are buying into the Olympic family. “Because of our storied past, it
gives our kids something concrete to hang onto and be a part of it.’’ Duncan’s Michael Braithwaite quali¿ed for the B ¿nal in the men’s double sculls with Kevin Kowalyk of Manitoba. “We have learned a lot in our three races,’’ noted Braithwaite in an email to the News Leader Pictorial from London. “We have improved each race and went for it in the semi and held on to the pack for about 1,300 metres of the 2 k race before falling off a bit.’’ Braithwaite added they’d be taking the same approach with a few tweaks to the ¿nal and hopefully end on a good note.

The only four full-time licensed child care centres in the region offered care for abut 100 children. Problem was, said Children’s Place director Chuck Schactman, you needed at least 20 children to make the operation profitable.
1981: Bamberton The quarry abandoned by Bamberton cement works after the plant closed was filling with spring water. This made it an ideal potential reservoir and drinking water supply for CVRD’s south end, directors heard.

Y
ou’re either for it or against it — treating sewage before it’s dumped into local waters, that is. The controversy swirling around people who live on boats has endured on the waterfront and at meetings for decades. And in August 1981 fur Àew at a meeting called by North Cowichan where 70 angry boaters vented their frustration over a complaint about raw sewage being dumped into Maple Bay. “If people think we have it made, we have not,” exclaimed one boater. Said boat owner Gordon Rutherford: “(Local realtors) ¿gured...if they could get us off our boats we’d buy houses and they’d make money. We have never de¿ned what the whole problem is. We’re oddballs, we don’t quite ¿t into the pattern that everybody else does, and so perhaps we’re a danger to the community.” Paula Dickie, whose letter to council prompted the meeting said she was also concerned that people living aboard their boats do not pay municipal taxes, although they use services such as roads, police and ¿re protection and their children attend local schools. Boaters have to pay provincial sales tax each time they buy a new boat — about every four years — responded the boat owners.

T
he jungle of ¿nding true love is just as thick today as when Britain’s Jane Austen wrote her landmark 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice. And Shawnigan Players’ splendid outdoor version conveyed all of Austen’s intended emotional confusion, comedy and class snobbery during Thursday’s debut at Cowichan Station’s verdant Gem O’ The Isle B&B. Gem’s meadows, apple trees, and grassy yard — dotted with sculptures,
i
h
plus a curious cat with a walk-on role — proved the perfect backdrop for director Alex Gallacher’s period pearl, in which each character was aptly cultured. The quiet site allowed Austen’s sumptuous dialogue to be heard from the rectangular, raked, wooden stage — nestled among apple trees dropping fruit — nicely accessed by stairs at each end. Think of P&P as a sort of Dickensian Coronation Street, with various plots circling the courtship of ¿ve daughters belonging to canny squire Mr. Bennet (Bill Davey) and
equally jolly Mrs. Bennet (Maggie Sullivan). The plot pivoted on second eldest daughter Elizabeth (Corrina Cornforth) who appeared dumbfounded, and eventually upset, with the lies and deception of various suitors after her, and her seemingly naive siblings. Pride delivers blunt messages about misdirected pride becoming snobbery and conceit — and prejudice against sincere folks of lesser means, preventing the discovery of real love. In some ways Elizabeth personi¿ed Austen, a free spirit before her time in a prim, posturing society cherishing wealth and status above feelings and happiness. Sound familiar?
Darcy (Brandon Newall) listens jealously as Elizabeth (Corrina Cornforth) chats with Col. Fitzwilliam (Nick Hofmann). The Shawnigan Players have hit another homer with this well-staged, ably acted summertime charmer. Romantic-comedy rating: 9 sisters out of 10.

Saltair preparing for an invasion of Highlanders
ON STAGE
It’s a simple fact of life: people are either Scottish, or they want to be. And no matter what side of the moor you come from, you’ll be welcome at the upcoming Beer, Burger and Bagpipes Bash in Saltair. Unfolding Sunday at the Saltair Neighbourhood Pub, the bash serves up a tartan-load of traditional and contemporary music and
dancing in the great outdoors, just the way God and the Highlands intended. “The multi-talented Cowichan Pipes and Drums, led by world-class Pipe Major Dr. Gordon Pollock, are hosting the event as a fundraiser,” spokesperson Derek Crawford told the News Leader Pictorial. The event runs from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at the
pub, which is at 10619 Knight Road, just off Chemainus Road, north of Chemainus. Tickets are $20 per person. Email chuckrobertson@shaw.ca for information. Money raised will be used to help purchase uniforms, equipment and training for members of the Cowichan Pipes and Drums band.

Rock Cod owner brings big, bold presence to his art Dance of the mind: Artist not afraid to go to uncomfortable basis Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
B
old. Colourful. Big. Abstract. Animated. All those adjectives help describe painter Jacob Hokanson’s 35 or so big canvases being hung this week in his ¿rst local exhibit in Duncan’s Quw’utsun’ Cultural Centre. Art is the personal pursuit of the friendly owner of Cowichan Bay’s Rock Cod Cafe who credited Cowichan High’s former art teacher Craig Campbell for podding him to delve deeper into his muse. “I did lots of things where I’d draw people and spy-cave bases,” he said, standing beside his fourby six-foot work Weaving hung on a riverside tree at the QCC. “I was also a really big WWF fan and drew pictures of wrestlers. “Then I took art classes at Cowichan secondary, and it was Craig Campbell who initially said to me, ‘This stuff is kinda cool, but try a little harder to explore something more than what you’re doing, and not be satis¿ed with the status quo you’ve created in yourself.’ “In his class my style ¿rst arrived.” Hokanson basically dubbed his style contemporary abstract. “I’m really fascinated with (psychology writers) Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, the psychology behind art and its reason and process,” he said, “and why, as an artist, I feel the need to do this in such a passionate way. “I’m trying to share my experience so people can feel safe to experience their own.” After seeing how Canada’s two famed Groups of Seven shared their titanic talents, Drayton Valley native Hokanson, 37, was a changed man. “I really became hyper-aware of what longterm applications can do in the art world when I was in an Ontario barn where the Group of Seven hung out. “I saw those canvases and ¿nally understood ‘This is what mastery looks like.’ “What they were able to convey rocked me to my core. I realized this is the kind of power I can project if I put the time in. “I still get shivers thinking about it.”
Peter W. Rusland
This piece entitled Weaving is an example of the big, bold work of Jacob Hokanson, who hosts a show this weekend at the Quw’utsun’ Cultural Centre. He felt a similar way after seeing creations by of control I want — from fat lines to super-metic“Often we go through life with blinders on as Canada’s Native Group of Seven that includes ulous lines.” personal protection, and don’t have many chancNorval Morrisseau, and Daphne Odjig.

Mom was introduced to dad by Auntie Margaret and soon later they were married on February 1, 1963. They moved their little family from the main land and settled in Crofton where dad worked for BCFP. In 1966 their youngest was born and mom was busier than ever raising us kids and any other neighbour kids hanging around. In mom’s busy life of being the worlds best wife and mother, master chef, diaper changer, cleanest housekeeper, drop of the hat taxi driver, and numerous other traits, she always had time for her many good friends. Mom was a long time member of the Mount Brenton Golf Club, a member of the Chemainus Legion, and a Crofton Community Centre Volunteer Caterer for 40 plus years. Mom’s life was her family and friends. She had a heart of gold and always found the good in everyone. Her many enjoyments included, travel, golf, a glass or two of beer with friends a the 19th hole, shopping, keno, the game of wrinkle, puttering with her owers, singing her favorite songs to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and always watching “Murder she Wroteâ€? on TV. Marjorie is survived by her companion and friend Doug Millin and family, son John Ruegg (Barb), daughters Christine LeRoy, Kathy Procop, Kelly Vogstad (Bruce), Kim Black (Ross), grandchildren Blaine (Daryl), Amanda, Michelle (Geoff), Scott (Katelyn), Landon, Natasha, Laura (Ray), Robert, Nathan, Chelsea (Kyle), Blair, great-grandchildren Jared, Cole, Seth, Dayton, Kendra, Wyatt, and grand puppy Buster. As well as numerous other too many to name friends and family. Mom’s favorite saying was, “If life throws you a lemon you make lemonadeâ€?. You are our sunshine mom and we love you a bushel and a peck. Hugs and kisses until we meet again. The family would like to thank Dr. Broere, Dr. Morris, dr. Pewarchuk, the nurses in the CDH chemo unit, and the entire 3rd oor CDH nursing staff. A Celebration of Life will be held on August 8, 2012, at 2:00 pm in the Chemainus Legion.

avin Hollebakken is playing some outstanding golf these days. The Mount Brenton Golf Course and Cowichan Golf and Country Club member set a blistering pace over two days to win the John Hicks memorial junior golf tournament at Mount Brenton. Hollebakken shot 72 for the ¿rst round but then caught ¿re to card a 66 the second day for a 36-hole total of 138, four under par for the tournament. Hollebakken is currently competing at the Canadian junior championships in Halifax. “We’ve got a bunch of good players right now,’’ said Mount Brenton professional Marc McAndrews. “Our kids are all 16, 17 (years old). There’s a number that can play like that.’’ Terran Berger and Tristan Mandur, another valley golfer, both shot identical rounds of 73 for a 146 total to tie for the runner-up spot. Jordan Wood was the low net winner with a pair of 64s. Leading the way for the girls in low gross was Shirin Anjarwalla of Nanaimo with back-to-back rounds of 80 for a 160 total. Mount Brenton’s Emily Adams had rounds of 70 and 72 net for the low score in that category of 142. A total of 32 players took part in the long-running event, 28 boys and four girls.

ollowing the leader is providing inspiration and encouragement to several ladies at the Fitstop gym. Nicole Morgan of Pure Fitness is a veteran of bodybuilding competitions and thought some other ladies she either trains or works out with at the gym might be interested in giving it a try. “I put a Àyer up for an information meeting on what I do,’’ said Morgan. “People see me at the gym and see the changes in me.’’ While Morgan specializes in ¿gure competition, there was also an opportunity for women to enter in the bikini class because “not everybody wants to put on size,’’ she said. Amanda Nielsen already went to the Western Canadians in Kelowna and did well in the ¿gure medium class. Kelsey Peck went to Vancouver June 3 for an international drug-free athlete’s show and placed top ¿ve in the ¿tness model class. The rest are getting ready for a new Victoria show, just in its second year, put on by FitLife on Oct. 27 and the Sandra Wickham competition in New Westminster Nov. 10. They’re both excited and nervous as the competition dates draw nearer. “When I’m a month out, I’ll be freaking out about it,’’ laughed Brenda Peltzer, 26. “Right now it hasn’t really hit me yet.’’ Peltzer is continuing to work out as usual and hasn’t really changed her routine too much for competition. “Really, it’s a lifestyle change, it’s just second nature right now.’’ Peltzer works out about ¿ve days a week and has trained with Morgan for two years. “I sub in for her ¿tness classes,’’ she said. “I sometimes teach, too.’’

Cardinals hoping to take the next step after island zone victory Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
Winning the island zone tournament is the ¿rst step in what the Duncan Cardinals hope will be bigger and better things. The Peewee AA baseball team is currently in
Chilliwack to challenge for the provincial title after topping the island competition in a four-team tournament at Nanaimo. “The competition on the island is not as strong as what we’re expecting to see on the mainland,’’ said Cardinals’ coach Tod LeSergent. The Duncan boys shut out host Nanaimo 8-0 in
the last game after beating Oceanside and Campbell River earlier in the round robin. Zach Waddington closed out the last game. Rhobinder Dhut also pitched well for the team in the tournament. LeSergent will be counting on both of them to be at their best again in the provincials as well as Sage

Popp, Nicholas Yu and probably a few others due to the pitching regulations at this age level. “You’re going to have to get a little bit out of everybody,’’ said LeSergent. The Cardinals have four games in the round robin at the provincials that continues until Saturday. The top two in each pool go to the semi¿nals.

Larry Strang of the Clippers takes a big cut at a pitch against the Regulators during the Cowichan Valley Slo-Pitch Association playoffs Saturday at the Cowichan Sportsplex.
Repeat attempts fall short for valley slo-pitch squads Trading places: Roles reversed for top teams in the C Division Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
T
eams that ¿nished ¿rst during the regular season couldn’t ¿nd the right formula to repeat during the Cowichan Valley Slo-Pitch Association playoffs at the Cowichan Sportsplex. The Regulators topped the league standings in the B Division followed by the Clippers. In the playoffs, the Weezers came out of nowhere to claim top spot, with the Outlaws ¿nishing second. “They picked up a couple of new players partway through the year,’’ league of¿cial and Clippers’ team member Ken James said of the Weezers’ turnaround.
The Clippers were on a roll during the ¿rst day, but couldn’t keep it going down the stretch and settled for third after losing twice to the Outlaws. “The only two losses we had in the playoffs were both to them,’’ James said of his team’s plight. In the C Division, the Warriors won the league and the Thunder placed second. But the teams traded places in the ¿nal playoff standings. There were nine teams in each of the two divisions this season. The league started with two A teams, but the Oak and Spartans both dropped out due to the lack of higher level competition. The Spartans continued to play as a tournament team during many weekends.
owichan is trying to ¿nd a way to shake out of its four-game losing streak in the Victoria and District Cricket Association. It’s been a rough patch for the team, compounded by the absence of key players like Adam Benning. He’s missed the last three matches and won’t be helping the team break out of its slump anytime soon. “My season’s done,’’ Benning said. “I’m going back to Australia.’’ He’ll be gone for about nine or 10 months before returning. Cowichan will have to look for other players to pick up the slack. Cowichan really took it on the chin from Albion at Shawnigan Lake July 21, losing by 149 runs. Albion racked up 303 runs in 44.2 overs before going all out. That left an enormous task for Cowichan that ¿zzled out at 154 all out in 29 overs. Thomas Nagy was the top run-producer for Cowichan with 49. Things didn’t go much better Sunday against Metchosin, a team lower than Cowichan in the standings. Cowichan lost by three wickets, going 258 all out in 45 overs while Metchosin tallied 260 for seven in 40.4 overs. Matthew Goode accounted for a large chunk of the Cowichan run total with 154. Several Cowichan players, including Benning, are involved in the Visas tournament this week in Victoria. But he won’t be available for the next Cowichan ¿xtures against Incogs Aug. 19 and United Victoria the following week before departing for Australia. Cowichan has slipped to sixth in the eight-team league with a 4-7 record. Several ¿xtures are coming up this month for the Cowichan XL team. After a visit to Richmond next Thursday, Cowichan XL takes on Howard Martin’s XI Aug. 16 at Shawnigan Lake at 1 p.m. followed by a meeting with the Marin Titans at 12:30 Aug. 18.
