Angry at the system Insulin pump: Lions Club roars in to support local woman after province rejects plea for help Don Bodger

J
anine Clark and her father Brian wonder how many lives are being put in jeopardy by the refusal of the B.C. health care system to assist patients in need. Janine Clark, 30, of Mill Bay, a Type 1 diabetic, is a severe case with extensive documentation from doctors and specialists, and yet her application for an insulin pump was turned down by the Ministry of Social Development’s Health Assistance Branch and, again, on appeal. Word spread around the valley about her situation and numerous people rallied to help. The Duncan Lions Club filled the void and came through with the $7,000 needed for Clark to purchase an insulin pump. Clark considers herself lucky to be alive because her condition is indeed considered life-threatening. She’s been a diabetic since the age of seven. “I know it’s directly related to the diaDon Bodger betic issues,’’ said Clark of the seriousness Brian and Janine Clark are frustrated with the B.C. medical system’s rejection of patients who need assistance, particularly for life-threatening situations like Janine’s.

UP FRONT
It’s a simple tactic North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP along with a number of other local organizations teamed up to enforce Thursday. “Failing to yield may seem harmless, but it’s a high-risk driving behaviour that leads to crashes,” said Cowichan Valley ICBC road safety co-ordinator Kate Woochuk. “ Every day there are many situations where you
need to yield to another vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist, so slow down and think about it. Don’t underestimate the time and space required to proceed safely.” If you do, you might get nailed. Thursday’s Three Strike event utilized a speed reader board placed beyond the speed limit sign ensuring drivers are well aware of the limit.
Wide eyes watch parks
Those failing to slow down likely got acquainted with a police officer with a ticket book in hand. The focus of the event is to target high-risk driving behaviours, and keep roads safer for all users. “By driving defensively, slowing down, maintaining your distance, and being aware of other users, you will have a greater chance of arriving safely,” stated a media release.
SD79 budgets cuts less painful this year
A
n enforcement strategy is being put into place for the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s parks and trails system. An annual spring meeting at the CVRD offices brought together members of the RCMP, Forests Land and Natural Resource officers, B.C. Parks rangers, conservation officers and CVRD bylaw enforcement officers. According to the CVRD’s manager of the inspections and enforcement division Brian Duncan, their task was to allocate sufficient staff to areas where non-compliance to posted regulations remains an issue. “Chemainus River Park normally warrants considerable time due to its remoteness and lack of cell phone coverage,’’ noted Duncan. “However, with the cooperation of all the agencies involved, regular patrols will take place every weekend, including long weekends.’’ The same applies for the many kilometres of trails throughout the area, including the numerous parks from the Malahat to Nanaimo Airport and Saanich Inlet to the West Coast. CVRD and RCMP bike patrols will again be monitoring the trail system, as in the past. Call the CVRD hotline at 250-746-2600 with tips. — Don Bodger

ulti-Olympic medalist Clara Hughes pedals into Duncan Friday during her national ride promoting mental-health awareness. The cyclist and speed skater, who has had issues with depression, stops Clara’s Big Ride — sponsored by Bell Let’s Talk — at downtown’s U-Fix It Bike Works and Artsworks, 51 Trunk
Rd., at around 1 p.m. Big Ride spokeswoman Jenny Duncan said the goal of six-time medallist Hughes’ 12,000-kilometre ride is raising awareness of mental health issues in local towns. “Clara does suffer from depression, that’s why this ride is so important to her — so people talk about (their health issues) and ask for help.” Clara’s Big Ride started March 14 in Toronto. It ends July 1, Canada Day, at Ottawa’s Parliament grounds.
To David Ehle of Canadian Mental Health Cowichan, the Order of Canada holder’s ride is a chance for local folks to “stand up against the stigma of mental illness.” “It’s an invisible disability, and everything we can do to bring people out into the public is welcome.” CMHC is also staging a June 22 local 26-kilometre awarenessraising ride. It runs from Glenora Trailhead Park to the Kinsol trestle, and back. Call 250-7465521.

he budget process hasn’t been anywhere near as painful as last year for School District 79. Official Trustee Mike McKay gave third and final reading Wednesday to the 2014-15 annual budget bylaw in the amount of $80,099,431. A year ago, the district was forced to close several schools as a budgetary measure and eventually elected to go with an elementary-secondary school configuration across the valley. Several districts in the province have been undergoing an exhaustive process this year, requiring massive cuts and/ or layoffs to teachers, staff and programs. But Cowichan is in relatively good shape after making the hard decisions for its 2013-14 budget. “There hasn’t been any drastic cuts,’’ said SD79 secretary-treasurer Bob Harper. “We have less money than we had last year. We certainly didn’t get a free pass.’’ Harper indicated there’s a bunch of pluses
Don Bodger/file
Bob Harper says there haven’t been any drastic cuts in School District 79 this year. and minuses that go into making a balanced budget. “We needed to be prudent in all the areas we were involved in. “The priorities we identified last year — literacy and graduation and so on — we kept these as our priorities.’’ There’s clearly been a bit of a payoff at least for the district to bring everything into line based on declining enrollment and the provincial government funding formula. “We did a lot of the heavy lifting a year ago,’’ said Harper. “It was inevitable we had to do something.’’

undreds of Cowichan health-care workers and their unions have struck a tentative five-year mediated contract — offering a 5.5% wage hike — with Victoria, the Health Employees’ Union says. “The multi-union Facilities Bargaining Association representing 47,000 health-care workers has reached a tentative settlement with B.C.’s health employers,” HEU’s Mike Old said Thursday by email. The FBA is unanimously recommending the agreement to its unions that recently voted a 96% strike mandate. HEU’s brass have voted to recommend ratification to its members comprising the majority of workers covered by the deal. It includes 5.5% in wage lifts during the agreement’s life, limits contracting out, expands employment options, and protects benefits. The bargain would also enhance paramedics’ ability to work within a community para-medicine model, and address outstanding issues around paramedics’ pay scales. Details will be given to union members next week.

Janine says she should have been on pump a decade ago from page 1
“She’s not the only case where this happens all the time,’’ said Brian. “How do you get to the ministers, how do you get changes?’’ MLA Bill Routley was among those hearing their concerns and planned to take up the matter in the legislature. The Clarks also noted City of Duncan Councillor Sharon Jackson has been instrumental in providing information about various means for her appeals. Of course, Janine wouldn’t be anywhere without the Lions Club’s action, typical of the valley’s service clubs that don’t hesitate to help when there’s a crisis. “I should have been on it 10 years ago,’’ she said. “It’s gotten to the point literally of life or death. Even with the pump, my prognosis is uncertain.’’ The Clarks will be speaking about the entire ordeal at one of the Lions Club’s upcoming dinners. “This is no longer just about me,’’ said Janine. “I want to advocate for anybody in this situation. “I’m very angry at the system.’’

Lions roar for more than one This isn’t the first time the Duncan Lions’ Club picked up the tab to help a valley resident when the medical system turned them down. Carla Homeniuk’s insulin pump broke down last November and “the ministry would not cover anything towards my new insulin pump,’’ she noted in December. “The Duncan Lions’ Club have come through for me as Christmas angels and is going to cover the cost of a new pump for me,’’ Homeniuk indicated at the time. As a single of mother of two on disability and working part-time, she was grateful to receive the $6,300 gift from the Lions. “Without my pump, I was a dead woman,’’ she indicated. “We have assisted so many that require health related items that the ministry either will not, cannot fund — everything from false teeth, hearing aids and medical equipment such as scooters, wheelchairs, walkers and the list goes on,’’ pointed out the Lions’ Club’s Jim Harnden.

user-pay sewer system was backed by North Cowichan council May 7 after Meadow Park residents successfully petitioned to sink a costly link to municipal sewer lines. Mayor Jon Lefebure explained the petition by some 60% of the area’s homeowners basically scrubbed an earlier petition to hook Meadow Park — off Roome Road, east of Somenos Lake — to the municipal system. “Council provided residents of Meadow Park an opportunity to petition to have the other petition rescinded, and there was over 60% support to rescind the bylaw for the local-area service.” Individual homeowers’ faulty septic systems will now be addressed by Island Health officials, he explained of Meadow Park’s 33 homes. “It’s a concern,” the mayor said of some failing septic systems, spewing health worries, “and technically Island Health’s area of responsibility, so they may require individual owners to put in expensive systems.” Folks with properly operating septic systems will not share in that cost — as they would have under the earlier bylaw to force all area residents to share the pipeline-connection tab.

Are we falling victim to politics American style? Reading the labels: eyes open to all sides preferred
W
e’re curious where the anger comes from and how deeply rooted it is. We’re talking about the palpable distaste, even disdain that surfaces in public discourse for “left wingers” or “right wingers,” to the point where the phrases are tossed around like epithets. It doesn’t seem to be widespread across the community of Cowichan; at least you don’t often encounter it during your day-to-day living. But in the media business it crops up regularly, usually in the context of someone finding an easy way to dismiss someone else’s idea or opinion. Us and them And we wonder: how can this be politics is fixed? Because it needs to be fixed. Certainly part of it can be chalked ultimately up to the media and its penchant for hurtful framing stories as conflict. Certainly it has to do with our electoral system and the way it segregates people into camps then pits them against each other in a dogfight for power. When you are invested in a battle of any kind, it is human nature to think the worst of your opponent. But we aren’t sure this quality always represents the best of human nature. And much of the responsibility for these adversarial relationships also needs to be placed on the shoulders of individuals. How guilty are we of equating the distasteful words and actions of a single “leftie” or “rightie” to the default mindset of an entire group of people? How respectful are we of other points of view? How much of an effort are we making to see things from other people’s perspective? Rational thinking demands an open mind. Civil discourse demands civility. These should be things we actively aspire to. To do otherwise seems contrary to our Canadian nature.

Government officials have ignored or run roughshod over the rights of local Natives for as long as there has been a British Columbia. They also have a woeful record in managing local fisheries.

I
t doesn’t bother me so much when someone holds the opinion the CBC should make its own way without public funding. That’s their opinion and they are welcome to it. What really pulls my chain was the vitriolic and uninformed manner in which some position their argument. To dismiss certain CBC television shows is a complete misreading of the cultural importance of TV shows like The Rez and other Canadiana content shows. Anyone who calls the CBC essentially worthless has not listened to it very much. It is hardly special interest programming. It is wrong to equate losing the NHL broadcasting rights to Rogers as an axehead putting the CBC out of its misery. There is no axehead but there are 1,000
knives doing their individual best to bring the CBC to its knees. There seems to be a trend here. As Rick Mercer’s television rants against Stephen Harper and his Conservatives grow more rancorous, the CBC’s fortunes plummet. It wasn’t long ago Mercer was a guest in the PM’s house and met the cat. I am certain he will never gain entrance again. How could one not enjoy CBC radio? Besides being excellent radio it is also advertisement-free. Nothing could be better than not having to hear repetitive advertising for things I don’t use, or am not interested in. I listen for news reports that provide excellent field reporting and in-depth conversations that take me deeper into the stories I am interested in, rather than the surface gloss provided by commercial radio. Programming like The Debaters and This is That, while very Canadian-weird, are
Historical issues are certainly relevant, but ignoring today’s reality would be foolish. The fact of the matter is our Native and non-Native communities have to find a way to fix our issues without creating an us-and-them mentality on local waters and in local communities. Too many people have too much invested for confrontational tactics to result in anything but regret.

very entertaining and widely popular. My favourite This is That skit was the small town council in North Dakota that renamed itself Banff, Canada, North Dakota to attract more tourists to their community. Who doesn’t enjoy Dave and Morley’s stories on Sunday’s Vinyl Café. The syrupy storytelling of Stuart McLean is so Canadian that the Vinyl Café road show fills every theatre it visits during its tours. My favourite Dave and Morley story was when Dave, mistaking Rabbi for Rabbit, wore a pink rabbit suit to a friend’s son’s Bar Mitzvah. Corny but still very Canadian. There is more to CBC than people talking. There is also music, every type of music. How many Canadian musicians have gotten airplay on CBC with Jian Ghomeshi on Q, or with Sherly Mackay on North by Northwest.
For right-leaning special interest listeners, CBC radio has Rex Murphy at the helm of Cross Country Checkup, a weekly program where Rex slips his right wing views between comments by guests and avid listeners. The CBC has been criticized for only appealing to a certain demographic (apparently not the key demographic) of people who still cling to the ridiculous idea the CBC somehow provides a “Canadian identity.” To me “Canadian identity” is fading fast in today’s political climate. Thank goodness CBC stands firm, if not a little tattered, from the onslaught. Paul Fletcher is former Duncan city councillor who writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial.

While awaiting federal laws, should local governments seize and remove derelict boats? “Yes because they’re a hazard. If you don’t care enough about your boat to take care of it, or move it, you have to accept the consequences.”
“Yes, as long as they don’t abuse it. Encourage the federal government to bear down on this (law). If boats are unclaimed, and been there a long time, I don’t see the point of letting them wreck the bay.”

That’s not terribly important to me, after all, I don’t even know you. Well I’m gonna take your house anyway. You can live in the basement or out in the carport.

I’ll pay my dime for what CBC provides
Dear editor Regarding “Death Knell of The CBC” by Jay Siska. This is an opinion piece, fair enough, but usually opinion should be backed by some rationale. Siska doesn’t provide any cogent argument for his viewpoint. No facts, just acerbic, marginally rude, poorly written opinion. His opinion is that the programming is dated, that it doesn’t agree with his views, and supporting a “Canadian identity” is “ridiculous.” I’ll offer my equally valid opinion. The government should fund things the broad public needs or wants and that we can’t reliably expect a speculative market-driven system to provide. On that basis, I could make an argument the CBC does provide a useful taxpayerfunded role in providing, at least in part, a “Canadian identity.” Bringing television, radio, and other media to the remotest parts
of a large nebulously populated land, and creating content that reflects the geographic and cultural diversity of that land to all corners, does indeed create foundations for a Canadian identity. I think that’s useful and I’ll pay my dime. There are many things the government funds that I don’t agree with but I am socially mature enough to accept paying for those as well. After all, not everyone shares the programming tastes of a white, 40-something male like Jay Siska. Nick Caumanns

Dear editor It’s about time a Chemainus skatepark gets done. It has been more than 11 years since the promise was made. I will not buy into the argument skate parks are any noisier than schools.

Work begins on plans for a new hospital Dateline 1954: $1.4 million project proposed
Ann Andersen
News Leader Pictorial
A
fter the initial surprise that we need a new hospital fewer than 50 years after Cowichan District Hospital opened in 1967, we have begun to see the shortcomings of the present facility. Although still able to offer a broad range of diagnostic and acute care services, its staff often struggles with finding beds for the sick and injured and corridors fill with supplies and equipment that have no other home. So the push for a modern, high-tech hospital began – just as it did in the 1950s. By May 1954, members of the hospital board, the medical society and a citizens’ committee were planning a public meeting to answer questions about the proposed $1.4 million building that would replace the 1911 hospital operated by the Order of the King’s Daughters and Sons. In 1932, that 60-bed facility on Cairnsmore Street was turned over to the Cowichan District Hospital Association. It would be important to rally residents into supporting a new hospital, and the meeting would take the form of a panel, said Mr. Henry Irwin, chairman of the citizens’ committee and a member of the hospital board. Although no definite site had been selected, Irwin hoped plans for the new facility would garner public support.

switches to low beams when an oncoming vehicle is detected. Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and rear door window blinds. Driver-assist safety technologies are also available in abundance for those who like the car to do some thinking for them. The new Genesis is also a statement of intent: it heralds what will be the look of the seven new less-premium Hyundai products expects to grace our showrooms before 2016. When it comes to driving, it’s really a tale of two cars. The top-of-the-line model offers a big V8 5-litre power plant, with 420 horses at its disposal. Ironically, it’s best enjoyed jogged along at low speed on the highway, where it has the feel of an old-fashioned big family sedan. (It’s not a lot of fun on the twisting lakeside roads of the Okanagan.) Cars destined for the Canadian market will come with an all-new HTRAC
active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.” The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill. Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIFTRONIC manual mode. The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

I even had one passenger say to me, “If we were in here any longer, I could’ve fallen asleep! It’s so comfortable.� Good thing they weren’t driving. The suspension is composed of front Macpherson struts and a rear double wishbone type, trailing arms set up. Toyota gets an A+ for ride comfort. And it’s arguably one of the best in its class. Aiding in establishing a serene setting is a host of creature comforts like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, second row captain’s chairs, easy access to the third row, keyless entry, navigation, an 8-inch touchscreen and much more.

Sure, you need to make sure you watch its width but manoeuvring it around in parking lots isn’t a chore at all. Thanks to its rack and pinion-type, electric power steering, you can move around graciously. Though this is not my first hybrid SUV that I’ve tested, I am always excited to see
how well these machines perform in regards to fuel economy. After all, there’s a 3.5L, V6 engine under the hood, which is then matched with an electric motor, a Sealed Nickel-Metal Hydride battery and an Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT). The result is a net 280 horsepower. There’s also a 1,587 kg (3,500 lbs.) towing capacity.
S
ome people made a New Year’s resolution to quite smoking. It’s May now and if you are still having problems quitting, what follows might be a motivator.
If you stop smoking today….. In 24 hours: Your circulation improves and the carbon monoxide in your blood declines. Your heart rate drops. In 48 hours: Your senses of taste and smell improve. (And you and your clothes smell better as well!) Within 1 week: Your breathing gets easier; your skin tone and pallor improve and your sinuses become clearer. Within 1 month: Oxygen is delivered to your lungs more efficiently. This makes exercising easier; your smoker’s cough decreases; your energy levels rise and you start sleeping better. Within 1 year: Your risk of developing illnesses like pneumonia, flu, colds, peptic ulcers, coronary heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis is lowered. Within 5 years: Your risk of lung, mouth and esophageal cancer is significantly lower and your risk of heart attack continues to decline. Within 10 years: Your heart attack risk is nearly the same as a person who has never smoked and within 15 years your lung cancer risk has dropped to that of a non smoker as well.
Makes you think, doesn’t it? For information on products available to help you quit smoking, talk to our pharmacists.

Looking at the estimated fuel results, it’s rated at 6.8L/100km in the city and 7.2L/100km on the highway. Keep in mind the aforementioned stats about its size and weight and those numbers are really impressive. My real world numbers? A combined average of 8.9L/100km. Not bad. Not bad at all. Most of my driving was done on the highway so the hybrid system doesn’t have a chance to run off electricity alone at those speeds. Oh, and it’s all-wheel drive. Sun or snow, this SUV is ready for it all. With fuel prices hovering around the $1.50/litre mark, the more kilometres I can get out of a tank, the better. And the Highlander Hybrid made me a very happy gal. The conclusion: The 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD is competent, potent and a fabulous sport utility vehicle even in Eco Mode where the fun is a little bit restricted. The MSRP for the 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD is $52,695. Visit www.toyota.ca for more information.

Historic performance powers Saturday’s Live at the Met broadcast
ON STAGE
Two Puccini operas in 18 hours? As a lead? That’s what soprano Kristine Opolais did recently at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. Just after singing the role of Cio Cio San in Madama Butterfly, Opolais (pictured) was asked to take the place of an ailing Anita Hartig as Mimi in the next day’s matinée of La Bohème.
She accepted and the results will be up in the Cowichan Theatre big screen for all to see Saturday morning. “Opolais stepped right in and almost instantly meshed with the existing cast. More amazing: she and her Rodolfo, the wonderful tenor Vittorio Grigolo, somehow found instant chemistry on
stage,” Terry Ponick of Communities Digital News wrote following the show. The Met: Live in HD series broadcast of La Bohème Encore happens May 17, at 9:55 a.m. at the Cowichan Theatre. Tickets are $26, with discounts for students, seniors and children. Call 250-748-7529 or go to cowichantheatre.ca.
Sisters a thought-provoking student look at residential schools
At the Merc: Cow High students join forces with peers from Victoria Christine van Reeuwyk News Leader Pictorial
A
select group of student actors tackles the genesis and legacy of residential schools in Duncan this weekend. Emotionally challenging meetings between residential school survivors and the high school-age cast provided students with a solid historical foundation to bring Sisters to the stage. They also spent a day talking to two members of the Sisters of St. Ann, who taught in a number of of residential schools. Written by Wendy Lill, Sisters is a tale of human struggle of will, stress and circumstance. It is the story of a nun who burns down a residential school where she taught. Sisters explores the human devastation on both sides in the fictional convent-run school. “It’s an interesting look at people and humanity and how people can change,” adds youth actor Isabella Goodman, a Cowichan student. “Despite not being a proud moment in our history, this script is an unvarnished look at the events.” “People think that everyone was terrible and
mean working in the school. A lot of people went in with good intentions; they cared about the children,” says Lambrick Park secondary student Abbie Hodges. “When you put them in a different and stressful environment, (people) can change.” Student actors from Lambrick Park and Spectrum schools in Saanich are working alongside peers from Cowichan secondary to bring the play to the stage. Hodges was worried how survivors would feel and react hearing the students were performing this particular play. “They’re excited. They aren’t bitter, they’re willing to move on and forgive,” she said. Most students thought residential schools were long history and were surprised to learn the last of the schools closed as recently as 1996. They hope this play provides a venue for conversation. “It’s a more interesting way to talk about (the topic of residential schools) and a neutral basis, ‘Here, take what you want from it’,” says Lambrick student Elias Whitfield. “They did what they could, but it wasn’t a good system.” Director Mike Moroz, a fine arts teacher at Cowichan secondary, says emotionally challenging the students was intentional. “We have a lot of great (Canadian) plays that should be celebrated,” he says. “Students are more talented than we give them credit for. We diminish their capabilities by handing them

ive plays in four days promise to provide stage junkies their theatre fix during this week’s South Island Zone Drama Festival. The May 15 to 19 festival — happening at Shawnigan Lake School — makes its Cowichan return after last being locally mounted at the lake’s Old Hall in 1988. This year, the zones are honed for SLS’s Wilkinson Theatre and hosted by the Shawnigan Players and the Mercury Players.
To festival spokesman Alex Gallacher, the works spell a honey of a chance for folks to taste local culture — then toast it during Monday’s gala awards and lunch party. “It’s an amazing opportunity to see plays back to back, in the same venue,” he said touting the festival’s pass deal. “Viewers also get to see adjudication by (director) Drew Kemp, and each play’s critique the morning after.” Adjudication, said Gallacher, offers “fantastic insight into each show and

For actors, it really enhances whatever their next performance is.” SIZ’s winning play will be announced by Kemp on Monday. It travels to Kamloops’ July provincial festival.

L
ove of all working boats — old, renovated, and new — was what anchored some 30 vessels that visited Cowichan Bay recently. Keith Williston sat proudly aboard his 43-foot retired troller MV Hardy Maid, describing the West Coast Work Boat Association’s annual Spring Rendezvous. “It’s awesome. It helps the bay, and we get together as a community of like-minded people who love old boats.” Folks such as Roger Meuser who enjoyed swapping stories about work vessels like his 28-foot KT Williams, an open rescue-type boat he bought on eBay. Meuser carefully decked his spacious craft with everything from berths and showers to a galley and heating — naming her after a young woman claimed by cancer. “We’ve always had boats — now my kids have them,” said Meuser, called “a wood whisperer” by brother Ralph, captain of 32-foot Fiberglas Barbie. “We love this festival,” said Ralph. “We’ve been coming since this started about 15 years ago.” For more, email Williston at boatdude@hotmail.ca.

Mom obtained her hairdressing certificate, built a salon on the side of our house, and commenced operating a successful hair and beauty business for 25 years. Many of her clients became extended family. Marg and Steve Fedun,of Shawnigan Lake,were her first friends in our new life, a friendship that lasted decades. Before working full time as hairdresser/cosmetician, mom sewed all our clothes, knit, crocheted, cooked and baked everything from scratch, canned everything, froze everything...we thought Wonder Bread, and Dads’ cookies out of a bag, was a treat. Mom was a hard worker,5 and 6 days in the shop, 1/2 acre veg garden(feed those kids),1/2 acre lawn and flower beds,inside and outside house maintenance, and, in keeping with her Alberta roots, she had a horse for the girls in the back field. Summertime meant camping for the kids at Lake Cowichan, fishing in Cowichan Bay on Sunday mornings with Steve. She loved curling in the winter, especially the bonspiels- and dancing, at the Curling Club, the Legion, anywhere there was good music, any time of year.Mom also loved SHOPPING!!! Mom and Marg were shoppers extraordinaire, fierce fashionistas. Mom vacationed in Waikiki, for a month, almost every year beginning in 1973, with Marg, Steve and numerous other friends from back home- lots of fun, good times, lots of dancing, lots of shopping. -- For the last 12 years, Alzheimers slowly, selfishly stole our mother, grandmother, sister, friend away from us, til she became ‘our girl’ to cherish, covet, protect and adore... --We weep not because she is leaving us...we weep for what could have been, what would have been, for what should have been... --Mom, you loved us, and showed how much each and every single day... --You gave us a great life, Mom....we have so, so many good memories... --Love you Deeply, Forever and Always

Doreen McKay (nee Dougan)
Born May 27, 1918 Cobble Hill, BC, deceased May 7th, 2014 Cumberland BC. Predeceased by her husband Bill in 1991 and her son Moray in 1990. She is also predeceased by her brothers; Ray, Charlie, Garth, Norm and Jim. Doreen is survived by her grandson Muskie, granddaughter Sam, daughter-in-law Linda, brother Dave (Lol), sister Roma, sisters-in-law Mary and Daphne and by many nieces, nephews and other family and friends. Doreen lived her entire life on Vancouver Island. She was born to the pioneering Dougan family of the Cowichan Valley. She helped raise her younger siblings and cooked in her father’s logging camp in Anderson Bay on Texada Island where she met her husband Bill. They were married in 1943 and her son was born in the Pender Harbour hospital in 1946, delivered by an Army doctor and several men holding Kerosene lanterns. During her married life she lived in many remote coastal logging camps, which is well documented by home movies and many photos. Doreen was very adventurous and travelled to many places including flying to Scotland in 1948 in a Northstar and later to Egypt, Greece, Hawaii, Mexico, Korea, Italy, England, Cuba and cruising the Panama, the Mediterranean and the Nile. Bill and Doreen travelled extensively in their motorhome, hunting, trap shooting, gambling and entertaining. Doreen was an avid reader, who read anything and everything, continuing to keep up on world events by reading her daily TC, despite poor vision in recent years. She golfed well into her eighties, achieving a hole-in-one in 1987 and golfing as a competitor in the BC senior games. Doreen loved to cook and was always ready to try out a new recipe while entertaining family and friends. The family wishes to thank Dr. Potter Cogan, the staff at Cumberland Lodge and CV Senior’s Village, her hairdresser Shirley and her “Pusher” Karen. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Campbell Rivers Shrine Club: 639 Yorkshire Drive, Campbell River V9W 7S6 or BC Children’s Hospital: 4480 Oak Street, Vancouver, V6H 3V4 There will be an informal celebration of life Sunday May 18th at 2:00pm at the family home in Deep Bay.
ROOME, James Napier With the same dignity and strength which defined his life, Jim left us peacefully Tuesday, May 6th with “his girls” by his side. He never lost his sense of humour and accepted his fate graciously. Jim’s wife of over 47 years Julie (nee Stone), his daughters Shannon (Adam), Susan (Steve) and Kate, his cherished grandchildren Nicholas, Alexandra and Madeleine, and his only brother John (Carol) will miss him more than they can express. His loss leaves a void in his large extended family, in-laws and his community that will never be filled. Born to Honor (nee Taylor) and Ronald Roome on January 23, 1938, Jim’s life was one of constant learning. His depth and breadth of electrical, electronic, mechanical, marine and other knowledge was staggering and he loved to pass it along, especially to his grandson Nicholas. Jim counted himself a very lucky man for being able to spend nearly his whole life in the Valley, which he adored. As part of the Maple Bay community, Jim grew up with the same friends who were so kind in their attentions right until the end. Jim was a 63 year member of the Maple Bay Yacht Club, was active in the local Coast Guard Auxiliary and was a firefighter and chief for the Maple Bay Volunteer Fire Dept. After Vancouver Vocational School, Jim worked for BC Tel in Vancouver and for Federal Electric on the DEW Line as an electronics tech/station chief. Upon his return from the DEW Line, Jim settled permanently in Duncan as owner and operator of Hamilton Electric Ltd. Jim was a capable, confident skipper on the water. Many on this coast will associate him with Vigorous II, a tug conversion which took Jim and his family all over this coast on extended summer trips. For a time he and Julie cruised alone, and then to his great delight spent the last two summers with the grandchildren revisiting many favourite spots. 40 plus years of fantastic adventures and memories came from this amazing vessel and Jim was its heart. We know that Jim’s spirit will continue to live on in her planks. Among his other wooden boat restoration “projects” was Songhee, an air force YPT tug which captivated Jim, and his partner in the ship Jim Whittome, for 20 years as he chartered it and sometimes cruised with friends. Jim’s trusty “boating guys” served happily as repositioning crew on Songhee when required. Many, many thanks to John, Bob, Bryan, Jim and “The Mikes”.

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS CARDS OF THANKS
On land, Jim was active in the business community of City of Duncan and North Cowichan and was a strong advocate for his tenants and downtown merchants. He served on council for North Cowichan and chaired the United Way campaign. Jim’s family wishes to express how incredibly lucky and honoured they have been to know this special man and share in his gifts: his intense sense of right vs wrong, his cheeky humour, his utter dedication to his wife, children and grandchildren, his kindness and caring to his extended family and community, his generosity, his interest in the world, his continual quest for knowledge, his absolute honour and integrity, his hard work to build a life and legacy for his family, and his lasting blueprint for a valuable life, well-lived. We could not have asked for more, except to have more time with him. Thanks go to Drs Roy Gilbert, Patricia Seymour, and Willie Pewarchuk for their exemplary care. Thanks also to the wonderful nurses of Home Care for their kind and gentle ministrations during Jim’s final days. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Cowichan Hospital Foundation in Jim’s name. A memorial open house will be held at The Firs, 6263 Lakes Road, Duncan, Saturday, May 31, 2014, from 1 to 4 pm. This will be a relaxed and informal gathering to share memories and stories, to which anyone who knew Jim is welcome. There will be no formal speeches or “foofaraw” as per Jim’s request. He wanted us to celebrate his life more than mourn his passing, and for old friends to reconnect once more.
In loving memory

Maple Mountain the site for Cowichan Cycles’ mountain bike relay extravaganza Sunday Cowichan Cycles is staging a sixhour mountain bike relay on Maple Mountain near Crofton Sunday. “This is more of a cross country race, as opposed to a downhill race that we typically do,’’ explained Cowichan Cycles’ Robin Dutton. Registration starts at 8:30 a.m.,
with racing getting under way at 10. People can participate in the event as an individual or on teams of two or three. The event will be utilizing the lower part of the Maple Syrup loop which the Cowichan Trail Stewardship Society has put its heart and soul

into developing. The course will take riders to the top of the mountain, 2.5 kilometres up the mainline to branch M600 and then hooks up with the lower, flowing section of Maple Syrup. Cowichan Cycles hosts the usual downhill on Mount Prevost June 9.
elays are a fact of life in rowing but organizers kept things rolling as much as possible to make the 54th-annual Shawnigan Lake School Regatta a huge success. For the first time in many years, the event started on a Friday night with four time trials. Due to high winds, only two were completed. The winds came up again after just a few races on Saturday morning that eventually led to a three-hour delay. Things got rolling again at 11 a.m. and racing continued uninterrupted until 8:20 p.m. The first two events wound up being the highlight of the weekend for Shawnigan Lake School rowers. The senior boys’ coxed four won its race over some strong competition and the senior girls’ coxed four followed suit by also defeating a strong field. The remainder of the racing program brought a dominant performance by Vic City Rowing Club crews. Other strong Shawnigan performances included the junior boys’ eight breaking into two fours and both earned second-place finishes. Third-place finishes were recorded by Shawnigan’s senior and junior boys’ eights, the senior girls’ single and senior boys’ lightweight coxed four. The junior girls’ coxed four had a bit of an off-day, placing just behind the Brentwood crew it had beaten two weeks earlier. But a nice rebound was made Sunday, with Shawnigan placing as the top school in the doubles event. Grade 8s raced at the 2,000-metre distance for the first time in their careers and gained valuable experience, according to Shawnigan’s Head of Rowing Tim Coy. The regatta is extremely well-supported every year by staff, students, parents, alumni and even parents of alumni. The event continues to evolve each year and hordes of people are hosted at West Shawnigan Provincial Park. Top rowers from Shawnigan and Brentwood will soon be heading to St. Catharines, Ont. for the annual national high school championships.

ompeting in the Sanix World Rugby Youth Invitational Tournament in Japan isn’t about winning and losing for the Shawnigan Lake School First XV boys’ team. It’s about the experience. For a program used to doing mostly winning and not much losing, a 1-5 record in six tournament games could have been viewed as rather humbling. But with eight Japanese teams in the tournament and a smattering from other countries — including sole Canadian representaDon Bodger/file tive Shawnigan — it’s Shawnigan Lake School rugby clearly the best of the coach Tim Murdy maps out best at this level on practice strategy. the field at all times. Shawnigan posted a victory over a Korean side while still holding its own in the defeats. “Two of them were heartbreakers on literally the last plays of the game,’’ said coach Tim Murdy. “The majority of our team is Grade 11. It’s a good experience for them to be exposed to the game at that level. “You play your six games in eight days. It’s a real grind on the kids. We survived it, but it’s hard, for sure. We were probably one of the smaller teams there.’’ The Shawnigan team trained most every day when it wasn’t playing but also had a chance to do some touring of significant sites. The 25 players who went to Japan will have plenty to talk about for years to come. It’s the second time in the last three years Shawnigan has attended the tournament. “We would have preferred some different results but that’s sports,’’ said Murdy. “That’s also a good lesson for the kids.’’

over early: Johnny Williams takes junior world welterweight title
ohnny (Two Feathers) Williams prepares himself for a fight as well as anyone. And with Wally Petrovic in his corner, opponents taking Williams lightly are bound to take a hard fall. Suraj Bangarh of Victoria found that out the hard way when he lost his International Sport Karate Association junior welterweight world kickboxing title to Williams, 26, at Pearkes Arena in Victoria.
Williams, 26, didn’t waste any time snatching the belt away from Bangarh, knocking him out just one minutes and 23 seconds into the first round. Bangarh won the world title a little more than a year ago. “He was considered one of the best young champions, extremely talented,’’ said Petrovic. “There was a lot of talking Johnny’s just going to be a stepping stone and it kind of lit the fire.’’
J
But Williams wasn’t the least bit intimidated or impressed. Petrovic said Williams told him, “Pops, I promise you I’ll got out and try to take him out and that’s what he did. One punch changes your life.’’ Williams came out in aggressive fashion from the opening bell. “I also knew the guy’s a slow starter,’’ said Petrovic. “He usually starts in the third round, picking it up. We caught him before he got to that point.’’
With Williams’ newest claim to fame, “I hope Cowichan will get behind Johnny a little more,’’ said Petrovic. Williams’ story is well-known in the valley of how he overcame some personal hardships to become a top-notch fighter. “He climbed many hills before he got to the top of the mountain,’’ said Petrovic. “I’m actually working on something. I want to do a big outdoor show next year.’’ That would involve packaging Williams on a card with famed female fighter Jeannine Garside. Stay tuned.

he Crew edged Blue Steel 27-20 in easily the most intense game of the week Sunday in the Cowichan Women’s Football League. Blue Steel made it a contest with a comeback of sorts in the second half. “We were very happy with the way we played, especially after being down 20-6 at the half,’’ noted Blue Steel’s Mila Main, who formed a double threat on offense and defence with sister Heidi Padjen. Padjen scored a touchdown, with two interceptions and a sack on defence. Main had two TDs and an interception while Roby Clement contributed to the scoring with a two-point convert and Kirbee Crisp added to the defensive effort with a sack. Marilou Sullivan was her usual unstoppable self for the Crew with three TDs, one on an interception that went 60 yards. Jessica Lines-Wikkerink scored the other TD and added a one-point convert. Morgan Kinahan and Alita Mattin also made converts. One of two interceptions by Mattin came in the end zone while Janelle Mould and Nicole Pugh also had interceptions. Darcie Zibin recorded a sack. In Sunday’s other games at McAdam Park, Moo’s Law blanked the Storm 28-0 and Roofco Sirens beat the Wild 19-7. Kim Scafe (2), Leanne Closson and Crystal Gotto scored Law TDs. Closson and Scafe also had converts along with a two-pointer from Toni Williams. Nicki Flynn got into the act with an interception. The highlight for the Storm was a sack by Elia Zanon.
The Storm continues to improve with each game. Quarterback Rachel Paddle picked her key receivers and members of the rookie-laden defence were in on every play. Deanne Mearns ran wild over the Wild with three TDs and added two interceptions on defence. Carmen Brown completed the scoring with a convert. Shelly McKay’s two interceptions and one from Jessica Kato-Koch sparked the defence. Two games were also played last Friday night. The Ravens soared past the Wild 46-6 and the Crew snuffed out the Storm 38-2. Ravens’ quarterback Rikki Wylie had another field day with three TDs, including one on a 60-yard interception return, plus a convert. Nikita Kitigawa, Sarah Russ, Barb Smith and Jenna Carver each had a TD. Russ turned a six-yard interception into her TD and added a convert while Kitigawa and Carver chipped in with converts. Rookie Carver made her presence felt with four interceptions. Lauren James managed two quarterback sacks. Sullivan’s three TDs led the Crew’s attack. Single TDs were posted by Darbi Aitchison, Kinahan and Pugh. Further scoring came from a pair of converts by Lines-Wikkerink. Kinahan and Willy Toews snagged interceptions and Aitchison did her defensive duty with two sacks. The Storm received inspired efforts from Katrina Waldron and Miranda Mann, two long-time field hockey players. Waldron’s two quarterback sacks included one that went for the team’s only points on a safety while Mann recorded an interception. The Storm had just enough players and simply couldn’t contain the speedy Sullivan.

njuries, illness and lack of discipline combined in disastrous fashion when the Cowichan T-Birds battled Vanier in a high school boys’ AAA rugby playoff. “We had to make six changes to the starting lineup that played against Port Alberni,’’ noted Cowichan coach Ron Glass of a previous successful playoff that set up the matchup with Vanier. “This was just too much of a task to overcome. Losing a player in one position is tough. Two is very tough, more than that a Herculean feat.’’ Despite the 45-7 setback, Glass indicated the TBirds played hard and had good structure but they were just beaten in the one-on-one battles. Vanier romped ahead 28-0 at halftime. Cowichan’s reinforcements in the second half attempted to stop the bleeding but Vanier was just too strong. Ben Iwasyk and Sean Barrett provided a bright light for Cowichan with their efforts in loose play. Barrett created the lone Cowichan scoring play when he stole the ball at the breakdown, romped 40 metres after attacking the Vanier defence and fed Cam Horsburgh for the try. Kyle Joe converted. The T-Birds expected at least five of the six previous starters back in action when they played the final provincial qualifying game Thursday at St. Michael’s University School in Victoria against Spectrum. The winner proceeds to the B.C. championships. The first round is May 24 followed by the main tournament at Abbotsford May 28, 29 and 31.

a cakewalk for Cowichan, ending in a 16-4 triumph over Westshore. The Thunder headed to Campbell River Saturday without seven regulars but called up three Midget A players — Mathieu Jung, Brian Robb and Trey Cleemoff — to help fill the void. One of the team’s goalies, Dallas McLaughlin, was played on defence. After the first period ended 2-2, the Thunder turned on the afterburners for a 9-3 lead after the second period and won going away 14-4. Tyson Black and Robb each racked up two goals and three assists while Colin Winship and Jung had matching totals of three goals and one assist.
Brandon Corby chipped in with two goals and an assist, Jimmie Johnnie with a goal and two assists, Cleemoff with a goal and Corwin Trent with two assists. Kain Stewart was solid in net, aided by the defensive efforts of Robertson, Jordan Lysne, Tyler Weidenfeld and McLaughlin. The Junior B Thunder recorded a 12-10 victory over Westshore last Thursday in Victoria followed by a 15-10 win over Saanich in its home-opener. Six Intermediate kids played for the Junior Bs in the first game and five in the second. Black registered 15 points in the two games and Colin Winship had seven.
