Pregnant woman: looks to community to help get her Tanzanian husband here in time for the birth of their child

Kathy Santini

News Leader Pictorial

pregnant Duncan woman who’s due at any time has done everything she can to get her Tanzanian husband into the country for the birth of their first child. She’s now asking for the community’s help. The mother-to-be is asking area residents to sign a letter of support today or tomorrow at Nanaimo Cowichan MP Jean Crowder’s Duncan office, so her husband ,Mgonea Luhui, can be at her side for the birth of their child. “This is such a great community, I’m hoping that they can help,” long-time Cowichan Valley resident Becky Harris said. Yesterday, Luhui arrived in Tanzania’s capital of Dar es Salaam, after travelling 16 hours by bus to get the papers for his permanent resident visa. According to Harris, the documents aren’t available online. With any kind of luck, Luhui will also get an interview this week with someone at the Canadian Embassy, regarding his permanent status and hopefully his temporary visa. That’s where the letters of support come in. “We’re hoping that will help

They hope to also be together for the birth of their child, which could happen anytime. with the interview process and help influence the decision,” Harris said.”I want him to be here to bond with the baby and to be with the baby for a bit.” Harris last saw her husband on Dec. 31, when she returned to Canada because she is a Type 1 diabetic and considered a high-risk pregnancy. She’s due July 13, but is currently in hospital awaiting her child’s birth, which could happen any time. “We don’t have time on our side any more.” Harris worked in Tanzania 3 1/2 years and married her husband in July 2013. According to her, he’s been denied a temporary visa three times: twice in 2012 and a month ago in May.

“We were told that his temporary applications were denied because the permanent application was in the works and not far enough along,” Harris said. At this point, it doesn’t matter so much to her whether he gets a permanent or temporary visa, just that he’s here for the birth. “If they’d just let him into the country, we’d be OK with him going back while waiting for his permanent visa,” she said. “All we can do is try, hopefully they’ll let him in on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.” Crowder agreed that the temporary visa has been denied because of his permanent visa application.

She said she could ask the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration to intervene, but wouldn’t recommend doing so unless Luhui is turned down for his temporary visa. “It’s best to let them review the temporary application, get the decision and then, if turned down, approach the minister. “ “This is normal,” she said. “We have people who have been in the queue for years.” Normally, permanent resident applications take 18 months to process.Those wanting to sign a letter of support during the next couple of days can stop in at Crowder’s Duncan constituency office at #101 126 Ingram Street.

he families of Karrie Ann Stone and Tyeshia Jones watched in painful silence Tuesday as video footage was screened in court showing their murderer apologize to their mothers. That taped April 21, 2012 meeting saw a tearful William Gordon Robert Elliott apologize to Bev Stone and Mary Jim in a sterile interview room, with an official present. Tyeshia Jones: “Words can’t change what died at 18 happened,” Elliott said, in a near whisper, “but I’m truly sorry for taking your loved ones from your lives, and I pray for your forgiveness; I’m sorry.” Bev Stone asked Elliott if her daughter knew what Elliott was going to do to her. “I didn’t know what I was going to do,” he answered. “Karrie Ann was a very kind person,” Bev Stone told him. “This is something you’ll have to live with for the rest of your life; same as us. I hope you find peace within yourself.” The Crown intends to seek the maximum sentence prior to parole in the murders. “In other words, 25 years,” prosecutor Scott Van Alstine told the court Monday morning as the sentencing hearing got underway in Karrie Ann Stone: the Duncan courthouse. died at 42 Elliott, a thick-set man in his mid-20s, with gelled dark hair and a black shirt, sat in the prisoners’ box before a courtroom full of observers, including friends and family of each victim, and visiting media. Last July he pleaded guilty to two counts of seconddegree murder: one in the July 2010 killing of Stone, 42; the other in the January 2011 death of Jones, 18. Van Alstine opened the hearing by detailing the evidence surrounding the Stone murder. Elliott told undercover police officers he had taken Stone to his home for sex. more on page 5

Mountain biker recovering after Prevost rescue operation

An injured mountain-biker is believed to be recovering after being rescued from Mount Prevost Sunday. The Mount Prevost Downhill racer plunged off the steep race trail, a North Cowichan Search-and-Rescue crew member explained from the scene at around 3:30 p.m. Mike Neeland said the male rider suffered suspected back and neck injuries, and was reached by high-

angle rescue crews. SAR members arrived to help paramedics and volunteer ﬁre crews from North Cowichan and Ladysmith retrieve the cyclist. “He’s A-OK,” race spokesman Robin Dutton said Tuesday of the rider he believed was named Jake, of Nanaimo. “He was wiggling his ﬁngers and toes, but paramed-

New trial dates pending in Terry the Terrier case Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

ourt proceedings against a local man accused of beating a dog on a road near Duncan, then threatening witnesses, have been adjourned until June 17. Duncan court staff said that date will see a date booked for court to continue hearing the case against Duncan’s Brandon Harrison. Reasons for Tuesday’s adjournment were unavailable by press time. Proceedings against the suspect began Monday in Duncan court. In mid-December, Harrison pleaded not guilty to charges connected to the alleged April 21, 2013 beating of a Boston terrier/French bulldog cross those following the case have dubbed “Terry.” These include counts of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm; criminal harassment; causing an animal to continue to be in distress; and causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal. Nearly 24,000 folks signed a petition — handed to Crown Dec. 2 — called Justice For Terry. It supports maximum sentencing against Harrison, if convicted. The animal rights organization PETA has also written Crown, urging it to push for incarceration, an animal ownership prohibition, and anger-management classes for Harrison, if he is convicted.

cottage on Shawnigan Lake was severely damaged by fire Friday night, the lake’s volunteer fire chief says. Keith Shields said 15 firefighters used various trucks to contain and snuff the fully-involved fire, keeping it from spreading to a nearby garage, and home off Lavinia Road. “The knock-down took 15 minutes,” he said, noting there were no injuries during the inferno. “We drew water from the lake.” The cottage’s owner lives in Victoria. Shields believed the wooden structure was insured. “There’s definitely some major damage,” he said. “Let’s put it this way: the basement’s still OK.” Crews were on scene for about 2 1/2 hours in total, Shields noted. Cause of the blaze was still under investigation. —Peter W. Rusland

Trial against Duncan physiotherapist pushed back two weeks Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

ourt proceedings involving 23 sexual-assault charges against a valley physiotherapist are slated to resume in Duncan court June 16, registry staff said. Action concerning Campbell Crich-

ton, heard by Judge Keith Bracken, happened May 28 to 30, but was adjourned June 2 due to a defensecounsel family emergency, staff said. June 16 will hear defence start severance applications in an effort to separate the charges. Those applications could take up to five days, with Crichton’s trial booked to begin June 23. His trial could start sooner, depend-

ing how long it takes for Bracken to hear the severance applications, staff explained. Various publication bans will prevent the identity of Crichton’s alleged victims from being revealed. Crichton, now in his 50s, was initially charged in March 2011 with five counts of sexual assault for alleged offences that occurred while practising

Malahat nation catches a star Kwanew Kwasun: New resource centre expected to play a big role in renaissance of the band

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

rumming and prayer songs by Malahat Nation elder Gene Harry blessed the band’s cultural-resource centre recently. Soaring beams, and reams of cedar seating and shelving greeted visitors from the SouthCowichan Chamber of Commerce and Malahat business associates to the Kwunew Kwasun Centre, which will soon be filled with books and other items to help further Malahat’s educational, economic and cultural resurgence.

Chief Michael Harry set the stage for his people’s centrepiece of learning and living in their territory which is experiencing growth pains and opportunities. “Not a day goes by that we’re not thankful for our friendships and relationships,” he said. “This building is about what Malahat is, and wants to be,” said Lawrence Lewis, band administrator, citing it’s comprehensive official community plan. “This is a place for our language to thrive.” Their $800,000, 3,000-square-foot rustically modern longhouse was built by Malahat fundraising, plus in-kind

labour and other skills. The centre is emblematic of Malahat’s plans to realize its economic potential and educational opportunities, Lewis explained. “It’s a place to be big, bold and beautiful.” That beauty took about 18 months to construct on Jesken Road, south of the Mill Bay ferry terminal. Furthering Malahat’s goals for centre programs, literacy and early childhood development, tonnes of books are headed to the centre as part of an Aboriginal literacy drive, called Write To Read, led by B.C.’s former Lt.-Gov. Steven Point. Malahat’s plans to preserve its language (Kwunew Kwasun means catch a star in Hul’q’umi’num) through its endowment fund,

Guest speaker Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk will help the Malahat rocket to its $250,000 goal. “This is really just

the beginning for the Malahat people. What you ask for you receive; life is not a straight line,” Lewis said. For gala details, contact Sharon Marshall at sharon.marshall@ malahatnation.com, or call 250-743-3231 or 250204-2089

He said when she threatened to tell his wife, of the encounter, he bashed her over the head with a baseball bat, took her to a remote area of Glenora and burned her while she was still alive. The court heard a denture plate found near Stone’s body matched another that was in Elliott’s possession, and how her DNA matched that found on Elliott’s bat and in a stain on a wall of his house. Van Alstine’s co-counsel in the case, Laura Ford, was expected to present the evidence surrounding the Jones murder to Judge Keith Bracken later that afternoon. The court previously heard Elliott accidentally hit Jones with his truck while she was going to meet a friend at Duncan’s Superstore. Elliott put Jones in the back of his pickup, then drove behind the Shaker cemetery, along a dirt track leading to the woods. He took her clothes off and choked her with her own bra. He hit her on the head, her teeth and her eyes with a stick and left her there. Then he took her clothes and burned them. After the Crown wraps up its case, defence lawyer Scott Sheets is expected to present his arguments. The judge will be asked to take into account a Gladue Report detailing circumstances of Elliott’s Aboriginal heritage that may be relevant to the sentencing. He will also receive victim impact statements. The hearings are scheduled to continue until Friday.

Restoring life to the cradle of valley ecology

Estuary: It’s time to come together for change

stuaries are considered among the most productive, vital eco-systems on the planet. The Cowichan Estuary? Well, let’s just say it isn’t exactly a shining example of health. Industry and neglect have combined to take the sheen off that precious point where the Cowichan River meets Cowichan Bay. But a symposium set for this weekend at the Cowichan campus of Vancouver Island University might do more than just draw attention to that fact. It might mark a point where things start to change. The symposium will bring together representatives of local coastal comCommunity munities threatened by human activity needs to get with experts in the field. At its conclusion, participants behind this should leave not only with a better effort understanding of what is happening locally, but a sense of how to make changes locally that can turn the tide at the mouth of our heritage river. A group called the Cowichan Estuary Restoration and Conservation Association has already laid much of the groundwork for what needs to be done in our most prominent estuary. It has mapped the history, charted the ecology and unravelled the political knot of authority governing the area. It has also invested time and effort in getting to know the players and their motivations. Led by internationally known ecologist and Cowichan Bay resident Goetz Schuerholz, CERCA is poised to make a difference in our environmental health. Anyone who doubts the impact of the estuary on that health is urged to check out a display co-mounted by CERCA and the Royal B.C. Museum this month in Duncan Mall. Anyone who cares about that health should attend the symposium.

We say:

The good and the bad of this week in Cowichan This we don’t

This we like

Given the unrest and upheaval that has characterized our school district in recent years, it was nice to see at least one good news story break on the political front. The decision to restore funding to the Chemainus Crofton Community Schools Association will be welcomed by both communities. The program is making a difference and the community showed that.

Checklist for getting ready for a lovely babymoon Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

abymoon. It’s a term I first heard used by Cowichan midwife Selina Boily. And it’s a word I never thought would become such an important part of my vocabulary. To sum it up, it’s the first few weeks after your newborn arrives, and while breastfeeding plays a big part, so does a whole lot of other craziness. Creating this calm, comfortable place for you and the new addition and preparing as much as you are able to for a smooth run is a great idea — something I wish I had done with my first born. So with that said, I’d love to share my babymoon checklist for our second child (who, I hope, has made its arrival by the time this column runs).

That is for your answering machine and handheld devices. • Fill the freezer with lasagnas, casseroles, frozen pizzas and slow-cooker meals. • While you’re in the food mood, check cupboards are stocked with basics. Quick and easy high-protein snack foods are where it’s at. • Speaking of nourishment, picking up a bag of Matraea Mercantile’s Momma Tea (to give momma her groove back) is a must. • If you have a four-legged friend, or a ‘fur child’ as my hubby and I have, get someone to pet sit for the first few days. • If you don’t want a steady flock of visitors gaping at you while you’re fumbling with the football latch, wait a day or two to post the big news on social media and add disclaimer, ‘Please text or call if you plan on stopping by.’ • Also see what your family/friends have up their sleeves for the baby shower. Let people know where you’d like to have it and who you want to come (we all know you can’t

It is incredibly hard for observers without any personal stake in the situation to sit and listen to William Elliott quietly speak on videotape about what he did to Tyeshia Jones and Karrie Ann Stone. Imagine what it must have been like for their loved ones. Elliott’s crimes rank among the most despicable and horriﬁc this community has ever seen.

forget to invite Aunt Betty) and advise the organizers: please skip the diaper poo chocolate bar game, or any games if that’s not your thing. • Think about how you’re going to deal with visitors now. Maybe set aside one day for an open house meetand-greet-the-baby day, or do your best to schedule the introductions in clumps. • Be not afraid of accepting help or asking for it. Mom will gladly help you fold some laundry, vacuum or make a meal. • Then there’s the big shopping spree. And sticking with the ‘big’ theme, head to the bigbox store, get the biggest pack of newborn diapers and thickest, most absorbent maxi pads ever possibly made. Or how about just some Depends? • Load up on all the essential after-care items (nursing tanks, cheap sleepers, breast pads, breast pumps, and nipple creams).

• Treat yourself to a brand-new pair of Lulus, a cool and comfy TNA hoodie, and at least a couple pairs of nice pajama pants (because you’ll be wearing them even if the Queen pops by for a spot of tea). • And of course there are the main big-ticket items too (bassinet, bottles, soothers, carseat, wipes, bath wash and baby bathtubs etc.) but these are things we typically remember. If you’ve gone through this list and checked it twice (and added to it) let me tell you your babymoon will be almost as much fun as your honeymoon was. OK, I lied. By the time you read this, Ashley Degraaf may be a new mom for the second time.

YOUR TURN

Should the CVRD fund repairs to the island’s E&N passenger-rail line? “It would help boost the economy, with tourism coming up and down the island.”

Rod Gray, Ladysmith

“The rail line should be federally funded too because it’s a transportation system, rural or otherwise. It moves people, gets them out of their cars, pollution out of the air, and saves lives — plus the ride is gorgeous.”

Beverley McKeen, Duncan

Ill-conceived recycling plan a step backward

Dear editor This is a huge backstep in recycling and will lead to great frustration and non-compliance. The system we had worked fairly well. The new system is a catastrophe — eight pages of instruction that you can print but not download (or so it seems) and the hours it will take to wash, clean, and sort, to the new rules is ridiculous, to say the least. So we do this curbside recycling, take deposit bottles to another location, ordinary glass to another location, grocery bags to another location, etc. Then there’s the gas, time, and extra pollution. If you do not have a vehicle to do all of this transporting, do you then have to pay someone to take the non-curbside recyclables to the various locations? Then there is the storage issue of where to store all the different recyclables until you have enough to take in. The contract is out of province: loss of jobs and money going out of province. This is a plan that was ill-conceived, done without proper public consultation, and is bound to fail with more recyclables. Glenn Spicer Comments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

about is their closed ears and minds during the 3,000 days it took to make this happen. Yes, it was more than eight years ago that our public servants first floated the hare-brained plan to build more than 200 homes on about half the 54-acre property. But they can pat themselves on the back for creating a groundswell of opposition from citizens throughout the municipality, resulting in an active residents association that educated many about not-so-smart growth and bureaucratic duplicity. What they will try to hide is an accounting for the hundreds of thousands of dollars paid to staff and planning consultants since 2005. Good on everyone for making the right decision — in the wrong way. Hopefully, we all have learned. Mark Kiemele Chemainus Andrew Leong

And to the rest of us who opt to keep our schnozzes and find solutions, this idea absolutely stinks. Some alternatives to the crude recycling-inspired rhinoplasty: 1) Make a decision in the store to not buy products that aren’t easily recycled, nor packaged in materials that aren’t easily recycled. You want convenience? It’s way more convenient to put nothing on the curb at all. 2) If you find yourself with items that can only be recycled at a depot, take them with you when you take your bottles back for the deposit to the bottle depot. One stop. 3) If getting to a bottle depot is out of the question, ask a neighbour or family member to take the items. If that doesn’t work, call a local waste hauler to pick it up. 4) If you are still scratching your head as to what to do, or think it is not your responsibility to properly recycle the material you made a decision to buy, write

to your municipal government and your provincial government to let them know you are unhappy. Your editorial suggests the mandate of the recycling program is to make things easy on people. What about taking responsibility for our own purchasing habits? Aaron Bichard Comments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

Publc service, not proﬁt should be the priority

Dear editor This is ridiculous. It was only a matter of time before the recycling companies were dictating because of profit margins and market values. If we had a true recycling program the companies involved should have absolutely no say and homeowners should be able to curbside anything that is recyclable, not what the companies and CVRD can make a profit on. Kim Wilson

Remember how long it took to do the right thing

Dear editor Now that 91% of Echo Heights Forest in Chemainus has been saved, it is time to take a look back and a glimpse forward. North Cowichan municipal elections are in a few months. There will be much trumpeting among candidates about how they listened to the vast majority of residents and saved most of this special place while practising good fiscal management by the proposed low-risk housing development on the remaining portion. What they won’t be chattering

It’s about investing in the right things

Dear editor Christy Clark presents Liquid Natural Gas as an investment in B.C.’s future, while public education as an expenditure. I do not agree, as I see public education an equally worthy investment. It is an investment in the strength and development in the capacity of B.C.’s future. When the Liberal government continuously underfunds the public education system, the future increased government’s expenditures can be predicted: social services, welfare, and prisons. It is time for the government to re-invest in public education. John Boan-Mitchell Mill Bay

estoring the Cowichan Estuary to its environmental, cultural and culinary glory — amid creeping climate change — is explored in a new exhibit and sweeping symposium of experts this weekend. The Cowichan Estuary Restoration and Conservation Association and the Royal B.C. Museum, unveil the mobile display Friday at 11 a.m. in the Duncan Mall. It will usher Saturday’s VIUCowichan symposium on expected impacts of climate change on coastal communities and estuaries, such as Cowichan Bay. “The rationale of the mobile exhibit is to raise the level of environmental awareness, knowledge and appreciation of the ecological, cultural and economic importance of estuaries, and the expected ef-

fects of climate change on estuaries and their flood plains,” a release by CERCA’s Goetz Schuerholz says. “The Royal Museum has chosen CERCA as a prototype citizen group, within its recently established extension program, and the estuary ecosystem as the prototype ecosystem for future similar events focusing on other ecosystems elsewhere in BC communities.” Generic information about estuaries seen in the exhibit and its mobility are expected to foster its use by other estuary groups on the island, and beyond. “It is hoped the exhibition will achieve a better understanding and appreciation of the importance of estuaries to our communities and assist groups such as CERCA in their restoration lobbying and advocacy efforts in support of healthy and sustainable estuaries,” states Schuerholz. Those are also the goals of Saturday’s symposium packed with professional presentations and a

panel discussion about greenhouse gases (Geoff Strong), local climate change (Kate Miller), island river basins and estuaries (Kristi MacMillan, Brain Kingzett), blue carbon (Paul Horgen), First Nations perspectives (Cowichan Tribes), estuary governance (Loren Brokaw) federal Fisheries’ role (Kim Hyatt), living rivers (Craig Wightman), estuary enhancement (Owen Croy), plus a 3:45 p.,m. panel discussion about how to fix the estuary. An evening social happens at the Affinity Guesthouse before Sunday’s 9 a.m. field trip to the estuary. CERCA envisions the estuary as a fully rehabilitated ecosystem, free of harmful industrial uses, zoned for biodiversity conservation, compatible recreation, and sustainable traditional use of renewable resources such as shellfish, herring and salmon — staples of local First Nations for centuries. For details, visit cowichanestuary. com, or call CERCA at 250-7484878.

Managing Your MoneY

When Don’t-Pay Deals Don’t Pay Off You’re in the market for a big ticket item like renovation materials or a major appliance and then you see an advertisement for just what you need with a headline like this: NO MONEY DOWN, NO PAYMENTS OR INTEREST FOR 12 MONTHS. Well, that certainly is enticing – but ‘don’t pay’ deals can end up costing you a lot more than you bargained for if you aren’t aware of all the terms and conditions attached to them. Deferred payment options are a popular promotional tool for many retailers, and an uninformed consumer can get hit with some hefty fees if the purchase item isn’t paid off within the promotional period. Even if just one cent is left unpaid after the payment due date, you will usually be charged interest on the whole amount of your original purchase. And because most ‘don’t pay’ deals are financed through financial institutions, they usually involve accepting a retail credit card with annual interest rates often in the 20 to 30% range. As well, most of these promotions include additional administration or merchant fees (except in Québec) that can amount to $100 or more and are tacked on at the

moment you make your purchase.

added to the purchase

Here are two typical examples of ‘don’t pay’ deals that look good until you read the small print.

• No interest accrues and no payments required during the promotional period

1. Promotion:

• If the balance is not paid in full by the promotional due date, the unpaid balance is converted to a regular credit card purchase

• No interest if paid in full within six months • Minimum $299 purchase No annual fee, merchant fee or administration fee Small print: • Annual interest rate of 28.8% • Interest accrues from purchase date and is waived if each minimum monthly payment is made by due date and the purchase price is paid in full by the plan expiration date • If no payments are made or the balance is not paid by the expiration date, interest will be charged at 28.8% per annum. 2. Promotion: •18 months, no payment, no interest • Minimum $250 purchase • No interest accrues during the promotional period. Small print: • Annual interest rate of 29.9% •

• Minimum monthly payments of greater of 3.5% of the outstanding balance or $10 are due. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

Written forever in ink Bully Boy: Jory Helmes talks about getting under people’s skin Eliza Faulkner

News Leader Pictorial

rends come and go and fashion can be fickle. What’s fabulous one season might make you cringe the next. So how would you feel about putting on something forever? Jory Helmes does just that. As owner and tattoo artist at Bully Boy Tattoos in downtown Duncan, Helmes permanently paints bodies on a daily basis. Regardless of whether you love tattoos or not, Helmes’ artwork is just that — art. And it’s beautiful too. Inspired by Alphonse Mucho and his client’s ideas, Jory paints stories onto bodies. We caught up with artist to find out what’s trending in tattoo art, what inspires him most, and why his clientele is probably not who you think it is. Tell us about Bully Boy Tattoos and what inspired you to open your shop? Bully Boy Tattoos Inc. is a tattoo shop specializing in custom tattoos. My wife, Rhiannon, and I (also my business partner) were originally from Vancouver and were spending a lot of time on the island. We had been planning to open a tattoo shop for some time but didn’t find the idea of opening a new small business in Vancouver particularly appealing. I grew up in a small town originally so

Duncan was a pretty good fit. What kind of training do you have in tattoo art? I apprenticed at a shop in Red Deer, Alberta for two years and then for five years in Vancouver at Funhouse Tattoos, under Art Godoy. He’s best known for tattooing Julia Gnuse, who was in the Guinness Book of World Records for most tattoos on a female body. I have been tattooing for about 13 years now. We see new trends in clothing every season, does the same happen with tattoos? Yes, from time to time there are tattoos in the media that are imitated by the public. George Clooney’s tribal tattoo from the movie, From Dusk Till Dawn was hugely popular. Megan Fox’s rib tattoo was a big one not too long ago. Sons of Anarchy have inspired quite a few as well. As far as trends, tattoos do seem to have an eerie way of coming in bunches with seemingly no connection other than the theme. What would you say is the most requested tattoo or style of tattooing you are asked to do at the moment? Our clientele are starting to get pretty creative with their design ideas. I think with all the popular tattoo shows and access to so many resources online, our clients are becoming much more savvy. We may do a lot of flowers and script but there always seems to be a fun twist we’re asked to add to help make it a little more personal. I think the closest I can nail it down to is style, which is particular to

Jory Helmes paints bodies for a living out of his Duncan operation, Bully Boy Tattoos. Dave (my other artist) and myself. Our clients come to us because they like the way our tattoos look. I tend to tattoo with a more realistic look, and Dave is inclined to make things look a little more graphic. How does your design process work? We will always work with the client on an idea. That said, too many cooks in the kitchen ruin the stock. I know that my best work always seems to be when the client gives me free rein.

Devon Gillott

What is your favourite kind of tattoo to do? Large-scale tattoos are great. Also, I love realism. I definitely find challenging things more attractive. When looking for new ideas, what do you do? I guess it depends on the tattoo. I might refer to favourite painters, movies, music, and places — anything that’s inspiring, really. Alphonse Mucha is a very inspiring person. more on page 13

t’s Father’s Day this weekend and in celebration we thought we’d dedicate this section to the boys. For guys looking to take their style to the next level, we’ve put together a list of the five best ways to get your style in check this summer. Here’s how it’s done:

SHOW DATES:

Grow a beard

Sorry hipsters, but the beard has gone mainstream. While this was a look once saved for old men and gurus, the look has recently made a comeback on the faces of men everywhere. Whether you wear yours short or long, dark or grey, this is a trend that’s worth trying as it’s easy to alter and fun to play with.

Long hair has become as hot a look for guys as it has for girls in the past year. If your locks are long enough, a topknot is the preferred method to pull that hair off your face. If you’re really brave, throw a

Beards aren’t just for hipsters any more. scrunchie on too! Get groomed.

While a trip to the barber has been the norm for men in European and Asian counties for eons, it’s just in the past five years that North America has truly embraced the trend. When you go for a trim, treat yourself to a wetshave and some hip new styling creams as well. This is a male version of the spa day – and you may like it more than you thought you would! Go short

Say sayonara to board shorts.

For a more sophisticated look, opt for a bright (or even printed) pair of swim trunks this season that are mid-thigh length and no longer. You’ll ooze European-cool when you sport this look on the river or at the beach. Oh, and the ladies love it too. Or rolled-up

Good news, guys, there’s no need to get your pants hemmed any longer. Rolled up hems and bare ankles are all the rage in menswear right now. Pair those khakis with dock shoes and a plaid shirt and you’ll be the coolest dude in town, guaranteed.

Today’s tattoo customers tend to be women

from page 11

Who are your customers mostly? Surprisingly, women between the ages of 20 and 60. Mostly I tattoo women in their 40’s. Often the kids are out of the house, they’re established in a job and have a little more disposable income. They also don’t care very much what people think at this point and tend to do what makes them happy. What advice would you give to someone getting their first tattoo? Do your homework — these things are permanent! It’s so important that you look around and decide on the best tattoo artist for the job, not the cheapest or the most available. Just because a friend said they were good, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ask to see a portfolio. There are so many good tattoo artists out there. There is no excuse for bad tattoos these days. Check out Bully Boy Tattoos on Facebook or visit their website (which is relaunching soon) at www. bullyboytattoos.com.

Swing into the Futur with Gypsy jazz sounds

ARTISTS

Victoria bassist Tim Croft’s lively gypsy jazz trio is inspired by the legendary Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club de France. But the Trio Swing Futur, which plays the Crofton Hotel Pub on Sunday, doesn’t limit itself to the Django songbook and jazz standards — traditional French gypsy, swing, musette and

even Bach and the Beatles inspire its repertoire. And tempos vary from Latin and swing to bolero and tango. Since arriving on the West Coast four years ago, Croft performed at Victoria’s International Jazz Festival, Rifﬂandia, Djangofest and the Montreal Jazz Festival. Rounding out the trio are

Victoria musicians Reuben Wier on guitar and Jeremiah Brown on drums. The Cofton jazz series runs Sundays from 2 to 5 p.m. Musicians are invited to sit in during the last set of the afternoon. The pub is at 1534 Joan Ave. in Crofton. Admission is $10. For information, call 250-324-2245.

Local ﬁlm packs Trunk full of chills Feature-length thriller: Claustrophobics may want to avoid this one

f small, dark places scare you, be afraid of Trunk. “We’re calling it a claustrophobic thriller,” said co-writer, co-producer, and Cowichanian Keith Digby. His feature-length film is in its final completion stages while he, his team, and global distributor Industryworks hunt for film festivals at which to open Trunk. “We’re applying to different festivals in Canada, the U.S. and Europe,” said former Brentwood College drama teacher Digby. He co-wrote Trunk with Fringefestival founder Brian Paisley. The pair worked with directoreditor Martin de Valk, and director of photography Sean F. White, during an intense eight-day shoot in a vacant furniture shop in Sidney. “Other than two pages, everything takes place in the trunk of a moving car,” Digby explained. “We got the car from a wrecker — it’s the back half of a 1966 Chevelle because they had big trunks back then.” The old car also offered a side benefit. “The light of the brakes shone back into the trunk.” That’s where a man, played by Kayvon Kelly, is stashed as he’s driven to meet his fate. “Kelly’s the one you see. Nicole Oliver, from Vancouver, plays the woman whom you never see, except for a tiny glimpse,” explained Digby. “The short strokes are that she

“We meet every Friday in Swan’s (Pub, Victoria) and talk about different projects. The next one is written.” The boys aim to leverage funds for their next movie from the success of Trunk. “We wanted to show we can pull off this type of low-budget, highoctane thriller. “We’ll have the backing through

on Saturday. The Cowichan Folk Guild will be hosting the mid-island semi-final for its fifth-annual Islands Songwriting contest. Eight contestants will perform their tunes, then a panel of three judges will gather audience feedback before selecting three to move on. “There will be ballots available and the audience will be able to vote for their favourite song; but the judges will have the final say,” promoter Bobbie Blue said. “The three finalists will be announced shortly afterwards when the ballots have been counted.” The lucky three will face off against the finalists from the north and south island during the July 18 Islands Folk Festival at Providence Farm. Prizes include: the winning song professionally recorded and produced by Zak Cohen at Woodshop Recording Studios a $250 gift certificate from Long & McQuade and two weekend passes to the 2015 Islands Folk Festival. The semi-finalists are: Cara McCandless (Duncan), Paul Ruszel (Duncan), Dar Yuile (Gabriola), Terry Wicks (Duncan), Dan Hughes (Duncan), Dennis Atkins (Cowichan Bay), Doug Fitzpatrick (Mill Bay) and Peter Prince (Saltspring Island) This weekend’s semi-final showcase is part of the Cowichan Folk Guild Coffee House, headlined by David Godkin & the Arrogant Sheep. Doors at 7 p.m. Admission is $10, $5 for CFG members.

PARMAR, Joginder Singh

December 10, 1928 â€“ June 7, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear beloved father, The Sadar Joginder Singh Parmar, son of the late Bakshish Singh and the late Chatter Kaur of village Kamam, Punjab, India. He was predeceased by his loving wife Parkash Kaur (1974), his sister Naranjan Kaur Jinjuha (late Darshan Singh) and his brother Gurmit Singh (late Davinder Kaur). He is survived by his brothers Dilbagh Singh (Harjit Kaur) and Gurbax Singh (Ranjit Kaur). Left behind to honor his memory and carrying his blessings are his sons Nirmal Singh (Daljit Kaur), Hardeep Singh (Rajwinder Kaur) and his grandchildren Shaun, Jason, Rajin, Bonita and Amandeep and many caring nephews and nieces. Our father brought his family to Canada in 1961 and settled in Paldi. He worked in the lumber industry with Mayo Lumber Company and Domans. He was a hard working, loyal man with old world values and honest virtues. He instilled these with passion in his work and family life as well as in his devotion to service (sava). For 53 years he volunteered his service at the Paldi Sikh Temple. He never wavered from his conviction and determination to protect, preserve and to keep the Paldi Sikh Temple functioning. In the Cowichan Valley East Indian Community he was known and will be known as a man with a photographic memory and a wealth of knowledge. He was interviewed by numerous media agencies that did documentaries on the history of Paldi. A special thank you goes to Dr. Karen McIntyre for her passion and compassion in caring for our father. Thank you to the second floor staff at Cowichan District Hospital for their amazing care and understanding. Thank you to Dr. Mohammed Fazil for the social visits made to our house to cheer up our father. As great of a loss it is to our family, his loss is equally as great to the community. We send our condolences to the community as a whole. Joginder Singh Parmar was a great man. His legacy will live on and he will be sorely missed. Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2014 at the Duncan Christian Reformed Church, 930 Trunk Road, Duncan, BC from 10:30 AM to 12:00. Cremation Services will be held at Cowichan Valley East Indian Crematorium with Final Prayer Services and Langar at the Paldi Sikh Temple.

Last year, $8,362.29 was collected from the sale of cancelled stamps and postcards throughout British Columbia and Yukon to be distributed for Cancer Research or Cancer Dressings, wherever it is needed. (We must thank our friends in the community for keeping us well supplied with stamps.)

p m a t S Out r e c n a C ďŹ l here please

Sunset Chapter #44, Duncan has one of our 39 Cancer Dressing Stations, located downstairs in the Mercury Theatre on Brae Road, Duncan.

Last year, throughout our jurisdiction, 170 dedicated members volunteered 8120 hours producing 69,708 cancer dressings at a cost of $9,599.91. (Weâ€™ve used up inventory on hand, which once again reduced expenses. There is a need for dressings in Northern BC, so these numbers will likely increase next year.)

Presently, sterilization is only being done by certain Hospitals and Clinics by trained and qualified staff in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna andd Prince George. The present method of distribution on is - the hospital staff will give the patient a supplyy of cancer dressings to take home. Local cancer patients requiring dressings are asked to contact the Canadian Cancer Society Office at 250-746-4134. Cancer is a dreadful disease without the added burden of the expense of dressings often required. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CHARGE TO THE PATIENT. All that is required is a doctorâ€™s referral. By supporting our Stamp Project, attending bazaars and teas, the Cabaret Night or buying tickets on our annual Cancer Draw, you enable us to continue our efforts in the fight against cancer. Weâ€™ve had a Polar Swim each February since 2005, first at Transfer Beach in Ladysmith and starting this year, at Departure Bay in Nanaimo. Thanks to pledges/donations, the members willing to brave the chilly water, have raised over $50,000.00 for Cancer Projects. Please drop off your used stamps at the Cowichan News Leader/Pictorial Office between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, Mon. to Fri., #2-5380 Trans Canada Hwy., the United Steelworkers Office, 351 Brae Road, or the local Cancer Office, #100-394 Duncan Street. NB: Our Stamps Dealers dictate how the stamps are to be trimmed, so we are asking our friends in the community NOT to TRIM stamps off envelopes. Just leave the stamps intact and weâ€™ll do the rest. We donâ€™t want any stamps to be spoiled. Thanks.

Bulldogs scratch and claw for yardage

Football recap: Big-time plays made on both sides of the ball Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

t’s getting down to crunch time for Cowichan Bulldogs’ football teams in the Greater Victoria Minor Football Association. The Peewee Bulldogs only had 14 players available due to injuries and illness May 31 and were fortunate Peninsula plays nine-man football, but still lost 40-0. “On a hard day, the Bulldogs once again never stopped trying to make plays,’’ noted coach Brian Scott. Running back Nathaneal Mannion started the game running well, including a 15-yard gain where he broke away from numerous tackles. Versatile Ronan Harley started at fullback for the first time this season and used his strength to carry defenders for yards after contact while also making many tackles at middle linebacker on defence. Nicholas Young and Reid Young made some hard hits on a goal line stand in the second half. Tyson Duffe showed great heart, never going off the field, and chased down players every time Peninsula broke a long play. Defensive backs Sammy Fry,

Cowichan Peewee Bulldogs’ Nicholas Young. Lincoln Findlater and Evan Kwasny fought hard all game against the bigger Peninsula team. The Atom Bulldogs played an evenly matched game against the Nanaimo Lions. “Blocking has been the name of the game the past few weeks at practice and the hard work showed,’’ coach Devon Lawrence indicated. The offensive line came through big-time, allowing rookie running back Zack Pearson to break free twice for carries of 20 yards or more. Fellow rookie Koda Lang received a key block from receiver Cole Russell and kicked it into overdrive to put the first points

on the board and the first of his career. The tackling stepped up on defence, with Luke Larminay getting in on multiple tackles. “The team worked well together, ensuring that once contact was made that help was given in the takedown,’’ noted Lawrence. Linebacker Cyrus Upshaw used the element of surprise to blitz the offence and made tackles before the ball-carrier got back to the line of scrimmage. The Pre-Atom Bulldogs “were hungry for a win,’’ according to coach Ted Harris against the Nanaimo Bombers. “The boys executed the offensive plays perfectly,’’ he indicated. Jaxson Jones, Spencer Young, Thoran Koyote, Treighton McCuaig-Jones and Nico Harris all scored touchdowns for the Bulldogs. Jayden Du Temple made some fine pass catches from Jones and Harris, with one of them going for a two-point conversion. The Bulldogs were tough defensively, limiting the Bombers to very few yards. Jayden Strzok, Du Temple, Harris, McCuaig-Jones, Koyote and Jones were continuously in the Bombers’ backfield. “Our level of play has gotten better weekly and all aspects of our play are at a peak now,’’ noted coach Harris. “We are ramping up for a big finish.’’

orm Jackson and Gavin Hollebakken made a dynamite combination in the TaylorMade & Adidas Golf Tournament of Champions at the University Golf Club in Vancouver.

Jackson and Hollebakken were only five shots off the pace of the winners — Jason Giesbrecht and Kevin Carrigan of Royal Colwood. Jackson gave all the credit to Hollebakken. “He is a great young man,’’ Jackson indicated.

Field hockey a lifetime love affair for top Cow High athlete Langkammer: one of six student-athletes honoured Kathy Santini

News Leader Pictorial

he’s been playing the sport for almost as many years as she is old. More than half her life, truth be told. It all started when six-year old Stefanie Langkammer went to watch her cousin play field hockey. Something about the game was so compelling that she couldn’t not play the sport. And boy has she played it. For starters, she’s the captain of Cowichan Secondary’s field hockey team. And she was invited to attend Canada’s Youth 17 national camp last November and February and is attending the one this August. Participation in the camps can lead to a position on the national team her end goal. Langkammer’s prowess and love for field hockey led to her being named her school’s female athlete of the year earlier this month. Other athletes honoured included: Josh Charles, male athlete of the year; Michelle Pewarchuk, scholar athlete; Sarah St. Cyr, sportsperson of the year; Sophia Murray, junior

female athlete of the year; and Noah Charles, junior male athlete of the year. “Stefanie was chosen because of her level of play and the fact that she’s been recognized provincially and nationally for her abilities,” said Brad Skene, athletic director for Cowichan Secondary. “I like everything about it,” Langkammer said. “You’re always being pushed to do things that you think you can’t and then you find out you can.” While some athletes of the year play a variety of sports, for Langkammer, it’s just field hockey. “I thought it would be cool to do another sport, but with training and my job at Thrifty’s, it’s just too much,” she said, adding the national team is based out of Vancouver and trains year round. “I’ve become really good at time management, I don’t know the last time I had a free day, it takes a lot out of you.” While some students focus on academics, it’s well known that the skills learned through athletics can lead to success on and off the field. “Being an athlete and doing team sports teaches you about a lot of

Clockwise from bottom: Josh Charles (Male Athlete of the Year), Sarah St. Cyr (Sportsperson of the Year), Michell Pewarchuk (Scholar Athlete G.D. Corson award), Stefanie Langkammer (Female Athlete of the Year), and Sophia Murray (Junior Female Athlete of the Year). Missing is Junior Male Athlete of the Year Noah Charles. things, commitment, focus, dedication, teamwork, how to handle successes and failures,” Skene said. “It builds character, there are lots of experiences that you can use as a foundation for success in the future.” Langkammer said that playing

field hockey has taught her invaluable lessons about herself and equally as important, how to be a team player. Next up for Cowichan Secondary’s athlete of the year? She’s headed to the University of

Victoria this September and while she wouldn’t say it, it seems like almost a shoo-in that she’ll make the university’s field hockey team. “I’m ready to see what I can do in life, it’s all coming together.”

Hannah Colbourne Trying rugby for the first time proved to be a trying experience for Brentwood College’s Hannah Colbourne. “The first game I ever played, I was extremely nervous,’’ recalled Grade 11 student Colbourne, 17, who’s from Fort McMurray, Alberta. “I didn’t know what I was doing at all. Mr. (Marius) Felix said, ‘Catch the ball and run.’ So I caught the ball and ran and I ended up scoring two tries my first game which was really, really exciting.’’ Felix has been impressed with Colbourne’s progress. “As long as she keeps playing the game, she’s going to get better,’’ he said. “She has the ability to play in the centres as well so it gives us some flexibility.’’ Colbourne’s roommate last year told her how much fun it was to play rugby so she thought she’d might as well give it a try. “Coming from volleyball, it’s a very different sport, but it’s fun and it’s a good way to get your anger out,’’ she chuckled. “It’s really helped me get over things fast. If we screw up, I go, ‘Darn,’ and then we move on. The rugby aspect, I guess, it’s made me tougher.’’ Colbourne is not only an artist on the rugby field, but can sing, dance and likes painting.

Shawnigan Lake golf team fourth at B.C.s

ristan Mandur’s presence automatically made the Shawnigan Lake School golf team a contender in the provincial high school championships. Mandur did his part, shooting backto-back rounds of 69 in the two-day competition at Qualicum Beach’s Pheasant Glen Golf Course to lead Shawnigan to fourth place. “In 160 rounds of golf, there were only four rounds shot under par and he had two of them,’’ Shawnigan team spokesman David Hyde-Lay said of Mandur. Mandur was the medalist for the tour-

nament, with the individual low score. Overall, “we shot as well as we possibly could,’’ said Hyde-Lay. A 312 total both days for the team “is about 15 shots better than we’ve done during the year in other tournaments,’’ he added. Captain Kevin Wang drew praise from Hyde-Lay for stepping up his game and helping set the tone for his teammates. As for Mandur, “the guy’s a special talent,’’ said Hyde-Lay. Host Kwalikum won the tournament, as expected, with a low 298 the first day and 303 the second. — Don Bodger
