Logging truck driver airlifted from rollover in Shawnigan

Ofﬁcials frustrated: But consensus is the battle against illegal dumping starts with you

Renfrew Road: man injured after truck tumbles into creek

loggingtruck driver suffered undetermined facial, spinal, and rib injuries when his rig rolled into a small creek along Renfrew Road Tuesday afternoon, Shawnigan Lake’s fire chief says. Keith Shields said the 2:30 p.m. mishap, at the bottom of Kapoor Hill on Renfrew, saw the loaded truck roll and land in a small creek feeding the Koksilah River. “He’s extremely lucky,” Shields said of the driver found by passersby, assisted by paramedics, then airlifted to Victoria hospital from a landing site near Burnt Bridge. “When you look at the truck, you wonder how he got out. It was crumpled up pretty good.” The driver, believed to be in his 40s, was conscious when flown to hospital after the rollover that sent some fuel and oil into the creek. The environment ministry was trying to remove the pollutants from the creek, Shields noted. Police were investigating the crash’s cause, but were unavailable for comment by press time.

UP FRONT

Long and winding Echo Heights saga ﬁnally reaches its quiet conclusion

Most of Chemainus’ Echo Heights forest ofﬁcially became parkland Wednesday. Mayor Jon Lefebure says council ended some eight years of tense debate by passing fourth and ﬁnal readings of a bylaw to preserve about 90% of the 52-acre publicly owned forest as parkland. “The remaining property is zoned residential

(R2), and was logged two decades ago,” his release reads. “It will be subdivided into an estimated 17 single-family residential lots, and will be sold to fund community-amenity projects.” Council also abandoned an earlier bylaw which would have seen 20% of Echo Heights developed for a variety of single- and multi-family

he possibility of going to a full-scale walkout will be determined when Cowichan School District 79 teachers join others around the province in a vote Monday and Tuesday. A strong enough mandate would allow teachers to give 72-hour notice of Stage 3 job action by Wednesday in their nasty contract dispute with the provincial government, making a fullscale walkout option available by the following Monday, June 16. The two sides remain far apart at the bargaining table. Naomi Nilsson, president of the Cowichan District Teachers’ Association, said Naomi Nilsson: it’s the last thing votes next week teachers wanted, but they aren’t getting anywhere in attempts at reaching a settlement. “What it has done is it has completely demoralized the teaching staff,’’ said Nilsson. The government-imposed lockout compounded the situation and the 10% docked from teachers’ pay during rotating strikes was ruled valid by the Labour Relations Board Wednesday. The dispute is clearly reaching the boiling point with the end of the school year rapidly approaching. “We want it done by June,’’ said Nilsson. “It’s so hard on our teachers and our students as well. We want the government to bring the resources to the bargaining table.’’ Nilsson said if teachers vote favourably on Stage 3 job action, they might opt for two or more strike days a week as an intermediary step. “I believe the reason for this is if things are moving at the bargaining table, we have options or if things are going well, we can call things off.’’ But right now, there is far more uncertainty than anything else. “I don’t know how the government thinks provincial exams are going to be marked,’’ said Nilsson. Some students rallied in the valley Wednesday as a means of showing their displeasure with the dispute. A large group of Cowichan Secondary Quamichan Campus students made a presence along Beverly Street. Frances Kelsey vice-principal Lori Hryniuk noted there was a smattering of students on Shawnigan-Mill Bay Road. Nilsson said there was a rally planned at the Cowichan District School board office Thursday afternoon. B.C. Teachers’ Federation second vice-president, Teri Mooring, planned to attend.

residential uses. “In addition to dedicating the land as park, the adopted bylaw goes further and speciﬁcally requires any development or improvement of the park must be directed toward the preservation of the atmosphere, environment, and ecology of the park for public enjoyment,” notes Lefebure.

Chief says bylaw planned for reserve

from page 1

Seymour also noted one of council’s goals is to create a bylaw so it can slap fines on those guilty of dumping. “It’s not so much just the rivers; It does happen in outlying areas as well,” Seymour said. “I think if a truck can get into an open field, they’re going to dump and that’s where our problems are. “We do have a bylaw officer who will go through it and try and find out who it belongs to and contact those people to come back and clean it up.” Residents like Gláucia Regina Desrochers are also working to create clean-up parties at popular spots in the valley, including Mount Prevost. “With summer fast approaching it would be nice to enjoy the mountain garbage free,” she said on a Facebook page for an event she had planned for May, but has been postponed for various reasons. One of the main ones is she needs more people to step up and help out.

This stack of matresses left last month on the side of Allenby Road was just another example of the continuing problem of illegal dumping plaguing the valley. “Some important things to know are that Darren Hart, (a) teacher at Cowichan Secondary, has already started the work of cleaning up Mt. Prevost with the assistance of his students and Darrell Frank from the North Cowichan Municipality,” she said on the Facebook page. “They started at the base of Mt.

Prevost and went to the very popular ‘First plat’ filling a one tonne truck of garbage. “My hope is that we will be able to join their team and build a vast network to get our island cleaned up in one efficient day... for that it will take some planning and some major help.”

the system from 300,000 barrels per day, to 890,000 barrels per day. On May 16, the City of Vancouver filed a motion asking the National Energy Board to expand the list of issues it’s reviewing regarding the proposed pipeline. It asked the board to include the environmental and social-economic effects associated with the development of the oil sands crude and the use of oil transported by the proposed pipeline. In its submission, Cowichan Tribes said it stands to be directly impacted by an increase in green-

house gas emissions and resulting climate change if the project is approved. Under the law, being named an intervenor allows an individual or group to join ongoing litigation, either as a matter of right or at the discretion of the court, without the permission of the original litigants. The basic rationale for intervention is that a judgment in a particular case may affect the rights of non-parties, who ideally should have the right to be heard. —Kathy Santini

Congratulations to our grizzled veterans National news honours: Bodger and Rusland’s honours well-earned

ogether Peter W. Rusland and Don Bodger account for more than 50 years of covering the people and the stories of the Cowichan Valley. You could say this veteran News Leader Pictorial pair has learned a little bit about community journalism. Their peers seem to think so. Last week, during the Ink and Beyond Awards a conference in Char- Peter W. Rusland: rural reporting lottetown, P.E.I., demonstrathe pair was offition of their cially recognized by the Canadian Community Newspaper dedication Association for their work in 2013. Rusland earned third in Canada in the rural reporting category for his coverage of the Shawnigan Lake soil dump proposal and its impact on the community. Bodger took top spot in the nation in the community service category for his dedicated efforts to recognize the valley’s young athletes through his annual NLP Youth Athletes of the Year awards program, section and gala. In addition, the paper was recognized with a blue ribbon for being among the top papers in its circulation class. We see first-hand the work Peter and Don put into their craft and their community. Don Bodger: And we’d like to congratulate them on community service these well-earned honours. We’re lucky to have them. Our readers are too.

We say:

Seeing both sides of: a living wage policy The case against

The case for It’s one thing to pay someone what you think you can afford. It’s quite another to consider the impact that wage can make on that person’s life and the lives of their family. Understanding the realities of people’s lives and helping them succeed along that path is what is important, and the living wage gives us a target. More people should make an effort to hit it.

How many service workers make a living wage?

Three years to see who is right in ALR showdown Tom Fletcher Black Press

he B.C. Liberal government’s bill to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones has passed, after one of the nastier exchanges I’ve seen in a decade covering the B.C. legislature. “You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons yelled as the government cut off a long and mostly repetitious debate that dominated the final days of the legislature session. Not to be outdone, cabinet minister Bill Bennett replied to Simons’ heckle about Kootenay rancher Faye Street, one of Bennett’s most vocal supporters as he pushed through changes to the land reserve to ease land use restrictions in rural zones. Bennett advised Simons to offer his remarks to Street in person. “She’ll kick your ass,” Bennett said. The on-the-record debate wasn’t much bet-

ter. Columbia River-Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Macdonald summed up his party’s biggest objection with his charge that “a bunch of Liberal political hacks” will be appointed to regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission. The government’s scheme, Macdonald and other NDP critics predicted, is to unleash a flood of ALR land removals, to enrich B.C. Liberal supporters by allowing development on productive farmland. That might be a valid concern, but there are a couple of factual problems. First, every appointment to the ALC, at the regional or provincial level, is made by the B.C. government. It’s been that way since the Dave Barrett administration set it up in 1973. Second, the regional panels are not new. The B.C. Liberals imposed them in 2003. If this was their method of corrupting the process to dismantle the ALR, that would have largely happened. Surely by this time they would have found enough greedy political hacks who hate

The living wage is great as a target, but as a policy it is an economic falsehood. If everyone is being paid a living wage, the cost of living would be jacked up across the board as employers struggle to compensate for their increased expenses. And the Cowichan Valley’s $17.04 magic number would become completely irrelevant.

BC VIEWS

farming to subvert the process. I’ve written before about the legitimate concerns of places like Merritt, Vanderhoof and Dawson Creek, where some ALR rules and decisions simply don’t make sense. Strict secondary residence rules are needed in areas with non-farm development pressure. In most rural areas, they are a mistake, and are frequently ignored. The debate wasn’t entirely devoid of honesty and civility. Macdonald interrupted his string of baseless accusations to note that under the current system, 75% of exclusion applications in the Kootenay region are approved. If that’s the case, what is really broken that needs to be fixed? It’s a good question the government did not adequately answer. New agriculture minister, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, put aside his partisan talking points and gave his personal assurance that the government’s intention is to support farming in those places where non-

farm income is the only thing that keeps people on the land. The B.C. NDP is broke and desperate after losing its fourth straight election, and it hopes to activate its declining donor base by portraying the changes as the imminent slaughter of its most sacred cow. Voters have three years before the next election to assess this situation. If there is a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land, then the NDP will be able to make its case that its warnings were at least partially true. If this does not take place, then the government’s position will be vindicated. We’ll find out the truth. Tom Fletcher is the legislative reporter for Black Press.

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 7

Should the province run all seniors-care homes? “Whatever provides the best care for seniors is what I’m most concerned about. If the primary objective is to cut costs at the expense of care, especially at less (labour) costs per hour, that reeks of petty budget balancing.”

“It’s such an important issue that the province should be in control, because there’d be a standardized level of care. Our seniors are a critical component of our community, and deserve the best.”

It’s sad, but more plastics headed to the landﬁll

Dear editor With the new plastic bans, I can see a lot more will be going to landfill, I`m pretty darned good about recycling everything possible but driving all the way to Bings Creek to get rid of plastics is not something most will do. It will all be going to garbage, so sad. Marion Decaro

Comments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

Think about what’s being denied to students

Dear editor Re: the teachers’ dispute. Hardball negotiations are one thing. But punitive behaviour by local administration towards the teachers fuels further animosity, and more importantly is hurting the students that they are there to serve. Which brilliant mind came up with the idea that restricting the teachers’ access to their worksite before and after school, as well as during lunchtime, would be beneficial to anyone? I can honestly say I don’t know where I would be today, even who I would be, without the support of my teachers. Most of this support was given out of class time. Teachers can have an impact on students, far beyond teaching how to learn, and mastering the curriculum. They can be very positive role models, by helping with students’ self-confidence and developing other life skills. So I think it is time our government and its administration

We asked you: “Will you be throwing plastic bags in the trash, now that they aren’t accepted as a curbside recyclable?” You answered:

81 per cent YES

The end of the school year approaches students are showing off what they’ve learned at student fairs. At Queen of Angels, Grade 5 student Owen Mackenzie steers a model tank, attached with an iPhone, using his remote control, in his Robots to the Rescue project, May 29. At Duncan Christian School, Grade 12 students Charissa Lee and Nicholas Openshaw show what they’ve learned about the emotional swing of bipolar conditions May 29, during the DCS Student Expo of ideas and projects. rethinks their negotiating tactics. A good place to start would be dropping punitive measures, and to begin bargaining in good faith. Alicia Parker Duncan

Tell me why the teachers need to get what they want

Dear editor Teachers are salaried employees, and that may mean marking tests in the evening, pulling together projects for the kids using imagination and available resources. I don’t understand the recent viral letter to Christy Clark complaining about not being able to come in early. I drive my children to school every day and see the same teachers arrive only a half-hour before the bell. how early do they want to arrive at school? I’m confused, as I’m sure a lot of parents are, about why the teachers and province cannot come to an agreement. If you want me to beep and wave as I drive through the school zones as

you walk with your picket signs (and I have to scramble to find childcare ) perhaps you can enlighten some of us as to why you aren’t going to work like the rest of us. Perhaps everyone should request days off so they can stay home and take care of their children. The ripple effect would be tremendous, I’m sure. John Nelson

has to offer that is not found in the 50 parks we now have. Nevertheless, emotion won the day. Don Graham Chemainus

CRA much more than an Echo Heights lobby group

Duncan

NIMBYism wins the day in Echo Heights

Dear editor I am in favour of developing Echo Heights. This property is arguably the municipality’s biggest revenue producing asset. Revenue from lot sales have long held the potential to reduce the rising tax burden. The municipality already has 50 parks. Congratulations to CRA for providing another example of how a Not In My Back Yard (NIMBY) group can sway a council. The appeals of the CRA failed to demonstrate what Echo Heights

Dear editor Recent letters have caused me to think the organization I presently chair, the Chemainus Residents Association, needs to put more effort into communicating its goals to the public. Since its inception in 2006 the CRA’s purpose has been to engage residents of Chemainus in the planning of their community by providing an organization from which they

can receive current information, lobby government, and submit opinions on how the health and quality of life in our home place can be enhanced. The CRA has also hosted speakers on aquifers, air quality, sustainability issues, the history of First Nations treaty issues, First Nations cultural practices, biodiversity and local ecosystems, urban planning and Smart Growth. In public forums, we’ve explored issues around waterfront development, local marina possibilities, skateboard parks, a location for the new library and climate warming. We have provided a venue where Mayors Jon Lefebure and Tom Walker were able to address local issues with the public. We’ve met with the developer of the Artisans’ Village housing development and supported this project publicly because it proposes to provide residences adjacent to the downtown core, supporting a vibrant commercial environment. We’ve polled the residents of Chemainus and the surrounding area to find out what issues are important to them and we’ve co-hosted all-candidates meetings so residents can meet those who seek to represent them in local government. In a municipality as geographically large as North Cowichan, community associations like the Chemainus Residents Association and the Maple Bay Community Association play an important role in communicating the priorities of residents to local government but that can only be effective if residents know why these organizations exist and how they can be used. Kathy Wachs Chemainus Residents Association

Roots & Shoots flourishes at Ecole Cobble Hill Ecostravaganza: Expansion of park trail includes interpretive signage and much more

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

reen living has its roots embedded at Ecole Cobble Hill. It’s one of two Vancouver Island schools declared a B.C. Green Games winner. And the Roots & Shoots Club at Ecole Cobble Hill’s predecessor, Ecole Mill Bay, also earned B.C. Green Games wins in 2011 and 2012. The awards are presented in Earth Day celebrations. The Ecole Cobble Hill parent Advisory Council is obviously pleased with those accolades that lead nicely into Saturday’s Ecostravaganza, a fun-filled family event in celebration of World Environment Day. The event includes a green marketplace — featuring local ecovendors — as well as a children’s activity area, a plant sale, a live stage, a silent auction, a food court and a used book sale. It takes place at the school from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 3642 Learning Way in Cobble Hill. Proceeds will help equip the

Kids from the Ecole Cobble Hill Roots & Shoots Club on the trail. new classrooms and library, and make improvements to the music programs. Meanwhile, the Roots and Shoots Club has been doing some amazing work and was thrilled to receive the Green Games designation. “Our new school is right beside an amazing park which is part of the coastal Douglas fir ecosystem,’’ explained Tonja Joyce of the Ecole Cobble Hill Parent Advisory Council. “After touring the forest, we discovered that many students didn’t know how to identify even a common native plant or tree in the coastal Douglas fir ecosystem, “We decided it was important for us to know about the ecosystem around us, so we explored the forest and tried to identify what

we found there. We learned about the traditional and medicinal uses of the common plants and ways we could use them in our everyday life. We wanted to learn more so we invited the experts in.’’ With the support of the Cobble Hill Parks Commission, Roots & Shoots is expanding the existing Fairfield Park trail in Cobble Hill. The students are designing interpretive signs to provide information about the ecological origins, native species, forestry history and more of the coastal Douglas fir forest. The Roots & Shoots Club consists of about 25 dedicated students in Grades 3 through 7. They meet once a week at lunchtime to learn about and take action on environmental and humanitarian issues.

The substance called “agar” is a derivative of seaweed and was first used in culturing bacteria back in the 1880s and is still used today for the same purpose. Perhaps one of the most common causes of constipation is not heeding the urge to go. We lead such busy lives that we sometimes ignore what our bodies are telling us. Not a good idea. If you have to strain or have hard stools at least 25% of the time or if you have fewer than three bowel movements per week you may have constipation.

Brachytherapy is a method of treating prostate cancer by placing tiny radioactive pellets near or in the tumour. Now this method of treatment is being used in women with breast cancer as an alternative to external radiation treatment. It’s a “radiation from within” method that is used after surgical removal of a tumour and results in less recurrence of the cancer.

he Duncan area has had its share of building booms: the early 19th Century burst of residential housing east of the city; the 1950s flood of homes to accommodate workers and their families as the new Crofton pulp mill roared into action; and in the mid-1960s, a new construction surge to accommodate increased migration from prairie provinces and overseas. And by 1966, construction costs had sky-rocketed. The year before, the local school board had been forced to build its first prefabricated school, Khowhemun elementary on Cliffs Road, when bids on a conventional building came in at $20,000 more than the estimated $50,000. Cutting costs to $60,000 meant a quick provincial approval and a new school building within a year. A similar situation arose in June 1966. Under funds approved by referendum, Duncan elementary school gym was scheduled to double in size. And when trustees learned the $50,000 appropriated was $20,000 short of an architect’s $70,000 estimate, most trustees accepted the news philosophically. It was a builders’ market, and they named the prices, said trustee Joseph Frumento. Working plans were also ordered for an estimated $46,000 addition to Mill Bay elementary. The new classroom was required by September.

he filmmaker of a documentary about Cowichan Valley newborns being apprehended from their mothers at birth is looking for more funding to help make the film a reality. Since starting the project in 2012, director-producer Patricia Dawn has raised $22,000 for the movie Stolen Hearts. She is looking for an additional $17,000 to complete the project. Forty hours of footage has been filmed and plans are for a test screening to be held this fall. After that screening, and input and discussion from Cowichan Valley residents, the film will be edited a final time and then released. Dawn is hoping that in addition to being shown locally, the 60-minute documentary will be shown at film festivals and as an educational tool for schools, social

The documentary Stolen Hearts is seeking another $17,000 to complete the project. service organizations, medical and academic communities and First Nations peoples. “Those voices not being heard, the stories not being told; all will be highlighted,” Dawn said. “It will show the generational trauma that has been going on since colonialism.” In addition to highlighting Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal mothers, the perspectives of medical professionals, frontline agencies, and local social workers who have witnessed the dysfunction of the child protec-

tion system, and how it affects the whole community, will be heard. On Saturday, the Matraea Centre will host a fundraising event for the film at its headquarters at 170 Craig St. Doors open at 3 p.m., wine and cheese will be served and there are door prizes. A trailer of the movie will be shown at 7 p.m. And on June 15, a crowd sourcing campaign will begin, to help Dawn raise the remaining $17,000.

Witness the birth of a new jazz creation

SPOTLIGHT

Part of the joy of jazz is the interplay of the talented musicians playing off one another. On Sunday, you get to see three such players connect for the ﬁrst time. The Kit Eakle Trio — featuring violinist Eakle, dobro player Doug Cox and guitarist Michael Dunn — collaborate for the ﬁrst time in this

weekend’s edition of the Crofton Jazz series. Look for the Crofton Hotel Pub stage to ﬂow with the sounds of intuitively improvised gypsy jazz. Cox is producer and artistic director of the Vancouver Island MusicFest, Eakle divides his time between Northern California and Vancou-

Barley of Maplewood: Grandkids inspire Cowichan woman to publish ﬁrst novel Kathy Santini

News Leader Pictorial

here’s nothing like a grandmother’s love. The cookies, other unconditional love regardless of what you do, and the bedtime stories while snuggled up in your Nana’s loving arms. Not content to read others’ books, Jasana Crowie decided to write her own for her grandsons William and Matthew. Writing a book is no small feat —especially not for someone for whom English is a second language. “My husband was my line editor,” the Czech-born author said laughing. “I kept getting drawn into the book, it was hard for me to remember that I was editing,” husband Harvey Crowie said, smiling. Barley of Maplewood is an adventure story about a timid, young mouse, who overcomes his fears to become a local hero. There’s Barley — timid, slow and not good at things. His cousin

Jasana Crowie wrote her ﬁrst book, Barley of Maplewood, for her grandchildren. Bonk, who moves into the neighborhood and forces poor Barley to face his fears. And a couple of wingmen of course — a squirrel named Red and a frog named Flick. And because all great stories have a struggle that the hero overcomes, there’s a weasel as a villain. The 206-page book was written and illustrated by Jasana, a former commercial illustrator for companies such as Hershey’s International and the Calgary Olympics, to name just a few. It was started in 2006 when William was just three months old. Other interests and projects — she’s a painter, short story writer and gardener — beckoned, but by 2013, she thought she’d better finish the book, before her grandchildren were too old to enjoy it. The book is long for children’s

books, at 40,000 words. “It became pretty clear that it wasn’t going to happen in 6,000 words,” Crowie said. “It’s so important for children to be able to read. It’s the foundation for success in life.” Beyond the unusual length, the book does another thing differently. It uses bigger words than you’ll find in most children’s books. “I really like the book,” said Laurel Hibbert, a retired school teacher who used to teach Grade 4. “The language is really rich, she hasn’t dumbed it down at all. Most people don’t know that you don’t need to write simple books for children, in fact, they like new words. They eat it up.” The book is for children age 6 to 10 and, according to Hibbert, one of the things that makes it very special is the life lessons that permeate it.

“This book is very clearly a book written by a grandparent who is trying to pass on life lessons to her grandchildren,” Hibbert said. She isn’t the only person raving about Barley and his friends. Crowie’s grandson William talked up the book, “so incessantly,” that his Parksville teacher is now reading it to his Grade 2 class. Given the positive feedback that the book has received, can a sequel be in the works? Crowie said she’s got some ideas, but next on deck is a book of short stories. The children’s author is holding a book reading this Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Cowichan library. The book can be purchased locally at Volume One Bookstore, at Hibbert’s stall at the Duncan Farmer’s Market and on amazon.com. It is available as an e-book and paperback.

ot off an award-winning streak, Brentwood College singers and instrumentalists are tuned for Friday’s benefit Concert For A Summer’s Eve. The 20th-annual fundraiser for a special-needs program, called Monday Morning Music, will hear hundreds of Brentwood students — groomed by teachers Phil Newns, Elizabeth MacIsaac and Scott McGill — swing into action at the T. Gil Bunch Theatre. Cellist Tommy Perkins, in MacIsaac’s Strings Ensemble, happily supports the Andrew Leong/file music-therapy program Liam Laturnus, fresh off his steland other initiatives lar turn as Tevye in Fiddler on the that have received some Roof, is singing tonight during $80,000 from the valBrentwood College’s Concert for a ley’s Choirs In Concert Summer’s Eve. Society. “It’s a great thing. They don’t have enough funding and we’re glad to help. It’s something we can do for our community,” said the Grade 9 cellist from San Francisco. The Strings Ensemble performed at the recent Victoria Festival, notching a mark of 90% — a goldmedal standing — winning the Senior School Strings Category, and an invitation to the honours concert. Among other acts on Friday’s dozen-number roster, Perkins is in the House Band, and joins violinist Paul Lee and clarinetist Sabin Lee for Pachelbel’s Canon. Performing boosts confidence among music students, explained Perkins, who began bow work at age six. more on page 16

“It helps you build up the guts to do it,” he said, citing pre-show prep. “Most times we just play it out on our instruments beforehand, and let it go, and it ends up working.” Actor, tenor singer and sax man Liam Laturnus was also amped to assist the music-therapy program through Friday’s varied concert. “It’s a great way for performing-arts students to give back to the community,” the Grade 12er said, set to sing Time To Say Goodbye.

House Band, and in Group Sax that’s ready to blow Swingle Sax. “This concert’s a great way to showcase how we can help our community,” he said, noting he and Newns’ Vocal Jazz Show Choir sang at last weekend’s Children & Apple Pie Day. Laturnus played tenor sax in Newns’ Jazz Band — set to play two tunes Friday — at Richmond’s national Musicfest Canada competitions this year. “The Jazz Band once again earned an Excellent Silver standing,” said Newns, “and the Vocal Jazz Show Choir followed them, this time with a Bronze.” The college’s Tonic Fusion Vocal Show Jazz Choir and MacIsaac’s big Concert Choir each perform three tunes Friday. In April, the Concert Choir attended Victoria’s West Coast Concert Choir Festival, earning the highest grade from both adjudicators. To Laturnus, it’s about the joy of entertaining. “The big thing is going on stage and performing for people.”

He leaves behind many other relatives and friends from organizations, clubs and companies. Cliff grew up in the Kitsilano area in Vancouver. His interest in sports began early. A strong swimmer, he had many busy summers as a lifeguard at Kitsilano Beach. In football he played for the Meralomas, the farm team of the BC Lions. He did very well in weight lifting competitions, being trained by Doug Hepburn. Cliff was also an excellent dancer. In their early twenties, he and a friend dared one another, then took lessons at Arthur Murrayâ€™s Studios in Vancouver. In 1957 an accident left Cliff a leg amputee. After retraining, entered the canadian Paralympics, winning medals in most events. As a Merchandise manager for Henry Birks Jewellers for many years, Cliff travelled extensively as a buyer of goods. In past years, as a member of Kinsmen volunteered in the building of a Seniors Centre in the Fraser Valley. He organized the western amputee Golf Tournament at the Cowichan Golf Course. His love of the ocean and a concern for safe boating led him to join the Canadian Coast Guard Auxilliary. He was a member of the Cowichan Power and Sail Squadron and an officer for Vancouver Island North District. Cliff received the Chief Commander Citation for distinguished service and was a life member of the Power & Sail Squadron. A Celebration of Cliffordâ€™s life will be held on Thursday, July 3rd at 2 pm at the cowichan Golf Course. 4955 Trans Canada Hwy. Pastor Dan Rutherford will begin proceedings with prayer.

ALLEN Reverend W.D. 1937- June 3, 2014 Born and raised in Winnipeg Manitoba. Joined the airforce in 1958, served in Western Canada and one tour in Germany. Retired in 1981. Moved to Toronto and studied at Knox College. Moved to Kitimat and was Minister for ten years at the Kitimat Presbyterian Church. Retired in 1995 and moved to Duncan. Was the Padre of the Legion in Duncan for many years. He leaves a wife Donna and a son David (Crystal), daughter Arlene (Jason), and 6 grandchildren. Celebration of life at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, June 7, at 1:00 pm HUDDLESTON: Kathleen Karen passed away Thursday the 29th of May, 2014 after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. She is survived by her husband, her mother and her brother. Kathleen was the most caring and giving person I have ever known. Her selfless dedication to the welfare and the lives of others was without measure. She fought her battle with cancer with dignity and unwavering strength and never let on to others the struggles she was having. She was a good woman, a loving wife, a devoted daughter and the pillar of strength for those with disabilities in our community, many of which she personally helped. Just as she fought the disease in silence I believe she wished to pass in silence. I ask that everyone keep her in their memories and cherish those memories and celebrate her life as she shared it with you, every day that the memories come. I love you baby and miss you deeply and the only comfort I have is in knowing that you will walk with me in my heart as I finish this journey called life and we can be together again.

Hopwo baseball: Duncan Pirates sail past 11 other pesky teams for top honours in Chemainus mosquito tournament Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

welve teams started the annual Hopwo mosquito baseball tournament at the Chemainus Ball Park. The best of the bunch at the end was the Duncan Pirates, who beat the Oceanside Bears 12-8 in the final. It was an all-Duncan battle for third place, with the Royals defeating the Cubs 11-10. That game provided a significant highlight to the weekend. It was tied after six innings and went to extra innings to decide the issue. No runs were scored in the top half of the inning and then in the bottom half, the first batter, Brighton Reed, launched the ball to the fence in centrefield and made it all the way around the bases for an inside-thepark home run to win the game. Salt Spring Island was voted the tournament’s most sportsmanlike team. The tournament is named in recognition of the longtime contributions to baseball and softball by North Cowichan/Duncan Sports Wall of Fame member Larry Hopwo, who also put on his famous pancake breakfast Saturday morning. “Our tournaments are really important to our association and especially one that honours a great person like Larry,’’ noted Chemainus and District Baseball Association president Phil Simpson. “Other than that, the weather was awesome and there were many games that were decided by only one run which makes things more exciting.’’ Another legendary figure in Chemainus baseball, Roy Price, even came out of retirement to help with the umpiring.

Steen strides home on a pass ball for winning run Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

file

Dave Devana hit a key double for Duncan in the fifth inning.

t was an historic game Tuesday when Duncan Gord Closson Forest Products fastball team hosted the Wheat Sheaf. “It’s the first league game in Glenora in a long, long time,’’ said team spokesman Joe Dilalla of the Nanaimo Fastball League outing.

And the game went down to the seventh and final inning for a decision — not exactly a hair-raising finish, however. Wheat Sheaf pitcher Chris McCormick issued nine walks in the game, staying away from Duncan’s big hitters, including two that loaded the bases in the seventh and led to the winning run during the 2-1 decision. Kyle Cowick hit a solo homer in the

first to put Wheat Sheaf into an early lead, one of just four hits given up by pitcher Korrey Gareau. He struck out 15 batters. Duncan tied it in the fifth when Dave Devana doubled and later scored on a Marty Steen out at first. In the seventh, Steen got a base hit and advanced to second on a pass ball. McCormick walked Bob Court intentionally but then also walked Brad

Robinson on four pitchers to load the bases and Steen scampered home on a pass ball with Rick Smith still at the plate sporting a 2-0 count. Joey Massingham and Gord Alberg had the other Duncan hits. Meanwhile, the dates have been announced for the Gord Closson Fall Classic at Waldon Park. It will start on Friday, Aug. 22, with the bulk of the schedule on Aug. 23 and 24.

Crew change was required to beat the Roofco Sirens Sunday. The Sirens vaulted into a 19-0 first-quarter lead in a Cowichan Women’s Football League game against the Crew at McAdam Park. But that sounded the desperation alarm and the Crew responded, clawing all the way back for a 33-26 victory. The Sirens scored on their first possession. The Crew’s first play from scrimmage was intercepted by Tara McCaffery and set up another score. But the Crew didn’t get rattled and came back. It was tied going into the fourth quarter but the Crew turned up the heat on a hot day for the win. Alita Mattin scored two touchdowns for the Crew. She ran a short pattern and dodged 55 yards through defenders for one of her TDs. Darbi Aitchison did the same, turning a short pattern into a 75yard TD. Nicole Pugh had a TD and one of her two sacks on defence was a game-changer. Jessica Lines-Wikkerink contributed a TD, Marilou Sullivan had a pair of one-point converts and Jade Scott added a convert to round out the scoring. Deanne Mearns led the Sirens with two TDs while Shelly McKay and Jessica Kato-Koch had one apiece. McKay and Carmen Brown scored converts, with Sabrina DesRochers registering a sack. Blue Steel ran away from the Wild 27-6 in the other early Sunday game. Blue Steel spread the offense around with TDs from Heidi Padjen, Brittany Stinson, Courtenay Wilcox and Mila Main.

The Ravens beat the Law 34-20 in a great back-and-forth game to round out Sunday’s schedule. “Law was up by seven and Ravens got two pick sixes almost backto-back, which turned the game around for the Ravens in the fourth quarter,’’ noted Ravens’ team member Dana Thorne. Rikki Wylie and Veronica Smith went 40 and 30 yards, respectively, on those TD interception returns. Wylie had another TD in the game; Sarah Russ scored two TDs plus a convert; Smith added another interception and a convert; Thorne picked up a two-point convert and Lauren James got a sack.

McKay and Christine Switzer supplied converts, with interceptions from Kaelyn Corbin and McKay and a sack from DesRochers. Padjen’s two TDs and a two-point convert led the way for Blue Steel. Main had a TD, Crisp recorded four sacks and Sam Miiller picked up an interception. Kelsey Scholz was on fire for the Ravens with three TDs; Veronica Smith had a pair with two converts and an interception; Jenna Carver scored two TDs, including one that went from one end zone to the other; Wylie collected a TD and a convert; Morgan Rogers added a convert; James recorded a sack; Thorne scored two converts and a rouge and Nikita Kitagawa managed an interception. The Storm’s TD was scored by Carley Boyd. “It was another game of learning, as we continue to adjust to player experience,’’ noted Storm coach Chris Mann. “The rookies are fast becoming knowledgeable in the game of football. Each game adds a new dimension to their skills and most are playing a different position every game.’’

The Bears led 3-1 after the first period but the second saw Cowichan rally to go in front 6-5. A brawl erupted in the second, with several players on both sides ejected. “The third period settled down and Co-

Monday action saw the Thunder defeat the Saanich Tigers 19-13 in a see-saw battle. “Our defence was rather soft early in the game as well as our offense wasn’t working

hard to get to the bench, allowing Saanich multiple fast breaks and breakaways,’’ noted coach Winship. Cowichan led 4-3 after the first, it was tied 11-11 after two and remained deadlocked 13-13 with seven minutes remaining. The Thunder finished with six unanswered goals.
