Shawnigan Lake enters the ice age Open in January: Construction on arena underway

North Cowichan’s Steve Finch was among firefighters from three departments attending a grass blaze threatening a chicken barn in Sahtlam at press time yesterday afternoon. North Cowichan’s south end department was called to “a growing grass fire” at a farm on 4081 Sahtlam Road at about 2 p.m. Lack of fire hydrants in the vicinity led to the Sahtlam and Duncan departments being called in for mutual aid. As the paper went to press, the fire had spread to forestry land near Mina Drive on Highway 18, threatening a house and the forestry service had been called in for air support.

Ditidaht nation getting a royal visit

n ambitious project to build an ice arena at Shawnigan Lake School that’s been in the works for many years is finally taking shape. It’s been one of the worstkept secrets around the community for several months but the project is now on a fast track toward completion, targeted for Jan. 15, 2015. “We probably started doing the groundwork back in June and been building from there, obviously,’’ said Shawnigan Lake School headmaster David Robertson. “You won’t really see much until about October.’’ A ground-breaking ceremony to bring dignitaries together and create more awareness for the project will take place on Saturday, Sept.

Prince Edward: Queen’s youngest son and his wife to open remote library Kathy Santini

t’s hard to think of a more remote place on southern Vancouver Island. Smack dab in the middle of nowhere, it’s an hour west of Youbou, give or take, on a rough, unpaved logging road. And yet, within a year, the Ditidaht Nation, at 200 people strong, will be getting a visit from royalty. There’s a good reason why. This Monday, their Royal Highnesses, Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex and his wife, Countess Sophie, will join B.C. Lt.-Gov Judith

Guichon to officially open the band’s new library, as part of the lieutenant-governor’s Write to Read Project. “It’s a once in a lifetime thing,” chief Jack Thompson said. “It’s a great opportunity for our people, especially for the kids in school.” The Write to Read Project, started by former lieutenant-governor Stephen Point, was created to increase Aboriginal literacy levels in B.C., as well as to build co-operative relationships between urban groups and rural First Nations communities. The partners include: the Lt. Governor of British Columbia and the Government House Foundation, Rotary Clubs, B.C.’s First Nations, businesses and

Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex were last in B.C. together in 2006. They will visit the Dididaht First Nation Monday. non-profits with an interest in literacy. Eva Clarke, who’s been teaching on the Ditidaht reserve for six years, said the project, which focuses on remote places, is the ninth since its start.

20. The arena will add to Shawnigan Lake School’s expanding facilities and renovations currently being undertaken for the 2016 Centennial, not to mention the wonders it will do for a burgeoning hockey program. “For the school to stay valued and in the forefront, you’ve got to be developing all the time and how you’re strategically changing,’’ said Robertson. “The advent of the hockey program is about a move to the real Canadian school, not transplanted British school. I can say that as a transplanted Brit and a proud Canadian.’’ The arena will be constructed with an engineered, insulated and tensioned membrane structure. Bleacher seats on one side of the building will hold a capacity of 400 people. more on page 3

“Ten more are lined up,” she said. About a year ago, Clarke was trying to figure out how to create a community centre on Ditidaht land. “Since I’ve been there, I wanted to see more parents reading with their kids, and increase literacy. This needs to start before they come to school,” she said. “I’ve wanted to create an inviting place for people to gather, young and old. I wanted a place for the elders to share their knowledge.” Before you could say,Write to Read, that vision was taking hold. “I had the idea,” the kindergarten to Grade 2 teacher said modestly, “but it wouldn’t have come about without the help of Write to Read.” more on 12

Police trying to reunite table saw with its owner

Is anyone out there missing a table saw? It’s not the kind of thing you usually see advertised in the lost-andfound, but that’s exactly the type of notice North Cowichan/Duncan police issued Thursday. “On Sept. 1, a truck travelling down the road in Chemainus lost its load after going over a bump. Recovered by a nearby motorist was a table saw,” RCMP Cpl. Krista Hobday said.

“The motorist attempted to alert the driver of the pick-up truck by honking his horn but the driver did not respond. We are hoping the rightful owner is able to describe the table saw and be reunited with their property.” If this may be your property, please contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP office at 250-748-5522 and ask to speak with investigator Const. Christine Walsh or the exhibit custodian.

Taxbusters vow to take an active role in upcoming vote Kathy Santini

News Leader Pictorial

A

recently formed group in favour of fiscally responsible government in North Cowichan and no tax increases over the next four-year term has waded into the upcoming municipal election. “Spending in North Cowichan is up 100% in the last 10 years,” Nick Caumanns, a director of the recently formed Cowichan Taxbusters said. “Taxes are up even more for homeowners who have borne the brunt of the runaway spending plus have had to absorb a tax reduction for industrial taxpayers. Even without the shift, residential tax levels are rapidly becoming unaffordable for seniors and families across the municipality.” Formed at the end of June, the 177-member (and climbing) organization issued a news release on Tuesday, stating it has filed papers with Elections B.C. so it can advertise for various candidates, elector organizations, or on various issues in the Nov. 15 election. “This is legally required of any group or person advocating on an issue that becomes an issue in an election,” Caumanns outlined. “We know taxes will definitely be an issue in the North Cowichan municipal election so we feel it was a necessary step to avoid being silenced in this campaign.” Under the Local Elections Campaign Financing Act, third-party sponsors must register with Elections B.C. before conducting any third-party election advertising, between Sept. 30 and the close of voting day on Nov. 15. As to whether the group will run its own candidates, Caumanns said the organization is watching to see who decides to If members are unhappy with “Spending in North run. the selection, they may run some of their own. They have until Oct. 10 Cowichan is up decide, when nominations close. 100% in the last 10 toThe group’s mission, he said, is to educate North Cowichanians years.” about how much taxes have gone up and to get citizens to vote for candidates who promote reasonable taxation. “We need to elect people who will look at if increases are reasonable, and make our municipality more efficient,” Caumanns said.

Caumanns

North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure says North Cowichan’s escalating taxes are the result of responsible local government decisions and higher government factors outside council’s control. Their claim that taxes have increased 100% over the past 10 years comes from data in the municipality’s own annual reports from 2003 to 2013, he said, and from its five-year financial forecast that goes into 2017. North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure agreed taxes have gone up 100%, adding a number of projects have contributed to those costs, along with demands from higher levels of government. In 2008, the municipality spent $19 million on a 40-year-old pool that needed to be replaced. More recently, money has been spent on diking, so the area doesn’t suffer the same flood damage it did in 2009. The province, Lefebure said, told North Cowichan to do a full-cost accounting of all of its physical assets, which increased taxes by 1%. Another time, Island Health asked for a second level of protection to the south-end water system. “We weren’t asked, we were told,” the mayor said. “My approach is that it’s our duty to tell our citizens what it costs to run the municipality responsibly. It’s not fiscally responsible to cut items like the roads budget. If you don’t maintain the roads, you have to pay for it down the line.” North Cowichan councillor Al Siebring wrote on his blog

that Taxbusters central theme is worth considering. “But these people are choosing to spread their message with a toxic mix of blatant misinformation, rampant cynicism, and general wing-nuttery,” he said. “In the process, they are squandering any credibility they may have hoped to develop in their advocacy for lower taxes.” Beyond council, Taxbusters also took a poke at fellow political lobby group One Cowichan, regarding its survey which is looking for local opinions on a range of issues concerning this November’s elections. The questions cover the gamut, from land use to taxes to municipal waste and energy debates. “The questions are obviously biased...focused on environmental issues,” information on the Taxbusters’ website said. “What is most concerning is that One Cowichan’s plan is to raise our property taxes to fight other levels of government over issues that are outside of municipal jurisdiction. Obviously, in the minds of One Cowichan, municipal efficiency, waste, bad decision-making and high taxes are not election issues.” “The irony is you have a single-issue organization with an agenda accusing us of being a single-issue organization with an agenda,” director Matt Price said. “Nowhere in our questionnaire do we advocate raising taxes.” One Cowichan plans to put the results from its survey, which closes Sept. 17, on its website to help people pick their candidates. Taxbusters also said North Cowichan has “lost its way on amalgamation,” and criticized the idea of North Cowichan giving the City of Duncan part of its land. “Duncan is obviously taking over the largest residential tax base. Say ‘no’ to amalgamation.” On the issue of island rail, the group said it’s an eventual tax in“They are squancrease and urged the CVRD to stop funding the Island Corridor Founda- dering any credibiltion with property taxes. ity they may have Another bugbear for the group is the municipal stockpiling of reserves. hoped to develop.” “It’s a glaring example of hiding taxes from us,” the website said, adding that in many cases, they become slush funds. “The net result is that we pay redundant taxes that sit in slush funds while families and the elderly struggle to make ends meet.”

Community will benefit from rink, but its primary role is boosting school’s hockey program

from page 1

An upper floor area will be built above the main entrance to accommodate dressing rooms as well as a workout area, a boardroom and additional office space. Funding is almost entirely private, Robertson said, and none of the $19 million recently donated to the school by the Shaw family will go toward the arena. That money was primarily earmarked for a new library and scholarships. The donors, Robertson said, “are passionate about the school and the possibilities this brings. “That’s totally what you want to see happen. It’s the people recognizing what this institution has done for them. I love it when our alumns even modestly give back.’’ Robertson said the entire community will benefit from use of the facility, not just the school. “In the last 15 years or so, we’re really trying to become a greater part of

the community and not just physically situated here.’’ Providing jobs to operate the facility will be an important spin-off, including an especially coveted job. “There’s a lineup of candidates applying for the Zamboni driver job,’’ quipped Robertson. But the most important part will be providing an on-campus access for students playing hockey. “One of the main reasons for it to be on a slightly fast track — if you want to call it that — we can’t operate the hockey program we want to operate without our own facility,’’ said Robertson. Kevin Cooper, 33, director of hockey, admissions associate and head coach of the varsity team, came on board last September 2013 and is obviously thrilled with the potential the arena will create for the program’s advancement. “It’s always a huge addition to have an ice rink on campus for development and training,’’ said Cooper, who

Shawnigan Lake School headmaster David Robertson. looks forward to the move into the new facility mid-season. “Having the addition of a hockey rink adds to the full package Shawnigan offers. “I knew taking this job there was talk of an ice rink.’’

Don Bodger

The first players who will get to call the rink home on behalf of Shawnigan Lake School can’t wait to flash the blades around the new surface. “I’m really excited,’’ said Kieran Furlonger of Cobble Hill, a Grade 10

student. “It’ll be nice to have something that close. It’ll be great, lots more opportunity to play and practice.’’ “Definitely for the community, too, it’ll bring a lot more hockey players and attention to hockey on the island,’’ said Grade 11 student Noah Crumb of Shawnigan Lake. “It’ll definitely put a name for ourselves out there.’’ “Super excited,’’ said Grade 11 student Triston Lebrun, who’s new to the school from Kelowna. “It’s going to be great, all of the ice time we’ll be able to get.’’ Meanwhile, the school is also set to open a water-based turf field hockey pitch adjacent to its other turf field. Hockey and field hockey have both taken huge leaps in recent years to match the prestige of the school’s rugby and rowing programs while basketball, volleyball and tennis are all flourishing. “The challenge for a small school is to fuel all the programs you want to be successful at,’’ said Robertson. “Challenge invigorates you.’’

It will cost more to take advantage of BC Transit’s Cowichan commuter connection to Victoria starting Oct. 1.

Commuter bus fares to the capital will jump by up to 18 percent Effective Oct. 1: BC Transit says hike necessary to cope with rising costs Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

C

owichan commuterbus fares rise Oct. 1, but BC Transit brass says those hikes are fair — and still a good deal — given success of the taxpayer subsidized line to Victoria. “No one likes a fare increase, but our community partners have held the line watching growth come in,” BC Transit’s Meribeth Burton said of teamwork with the Cowichan Valley Regional District. “It’s affordable and safe.” That’s cold comfort to commuterpass holder Shawn Gordon-Crane. She emailed the News Leader Pictorial her beefs about lack of price-hop notice, and how that hike may affect the service’s future among green-minded commuters wishing to park their cars and ride. “I just found out today (Sept. 3) the commuter-bus monthly passes are increasing to nearly $200 a month. “This is coming as a complete surprise to many commuters (some of whom I talked to this morning know nothing about it), as we have received no word from the

company that an increase was on the way.” Burton apologized if some riders lacked enough notice. “This has been an ongoing public discussion, but that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone’s following politics.” Interior bus cards were installed last week for a month’s notice about the Oct. 1 fare rise, plus a customeralert notice was posted on bctransit. com, Burton added. Back in 2008, when Cowichan’s commuter transit started with three daily round-trips, fares were $8 from Duncan to Victoria; $6 to Victoria from Mill Bay. Those fares were blended to $7 in 2010, regardless of where you board. “There hasn’t really been a fare increase since 2008,” said Burton. There are now six round-trips daily. On Oct. 1, Cowichan’s monthly pass swells to $192 from $165 in Zone A (Mill Bay), and to $232 from $200 in Zone B (Duncan). At 21 trips a month, the new pass equals $4.50 a trip, or $9 daily — annual savings of about $10,000 a year by not using a car, calculated Burton. And Cowichanians like going green. The line carried 13,635 by the end of March 2009. In the 2013/14 fiscal year, trips grew to more than 86,000, or 7,100 monthly, she said. But with the line’s popularity, Gordon-Crane wonders why rates hikes are needed.

“With numerous runs full to the point of leaving people behind for several buses, how can this surprise increase be necessary?” Burton was unaware of any people being left behind on the 38seat buses, with room for 30 standing. She cited rising operating costs — from wages, and fuel to shelter buildings, and bus maintenance. “We do appreciate there’s some sticker shock. It costs about $12 in operating costs per passenger per trip now. Cost of providing the service has gone up almost 49% since 2008,” she said, noting tons of “taxpayer-offsetting.” “Fares do not support the services on their own. We want to build on the financial capacity to extend the service that’s been incredibly successful,” she said of a 7.3% ridership rise in the past year. But higher prices could mean lower ridership, Gordon-Crane said. “Many who use the service had hoped to embrace the green option, but I know this will only force many riders back to taking their own cars, as the increase no longer makes a cost-effective option for commuting.” Burton’s response: the bus is a stress-free bargain. “It’s incredibly convenient. You hop on a bus with your tablet and get 40 minutes of work done — with decompression time on the way home. You couldn’t do that with a car.”

Swustus said at one time they had a number of people running together in groups, but he wouldn’t label them as gangs. “It faded off, because of ongoing education and we want to keep it that way, through more education,” the justice co-ordinator said. Presentations like the one held Monday, Swustus said, are held every second year to keep awareness up. Carfantan said he also hasn’t seen any evidence gangs are recruiting locally.

A recent drop in gang violence now has B.C.’s anti-gang police unit looking to the courts for closure on several major outstanding cases. Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit chief officer Kevin Hackett said the “significant decline” in organized crime homicides comes after a series of high-profile investigations leading to charges, as well as new initiatives to prevent or reduce gang membership. His comments were published Monday in the unit’s 2014 annual community report. It can be found online at cowichannewsleader.com. The number of gangrelated killings in B.C. fell to 13 last year from 18 in 2012 and has been cut by almost two-thirds from the 36 gang murders committed in 2009.

life and act like, “the big man about town.” “Gangs like publicity, they like to see their names in the paper...for the right and the wrong reasons,” he said. While gangs might not be a problem here, there’s no denying drug trafficking is going on, as in most communities. Carfantan said the higher-ups don’t traffic at the street level themselves because of fear of arrest, but often hire young people to take the risk. Parents should be on the lookout for children who suddenly and inexplicably have a lot more money to spend, or new “toys.” “They might be trafficking,” the RCMP officer said. “Sometimes nice kids get roped into it.”

ecent years haven’t been the best of times for the Cowichan United Way. Donations have dwindled from more than $300,000 annually in the years prior to 2008 to barely half that last year. But fingers at more than a dozen local charities are crossed that situation will start to change this weekend. On Saturday, the 2014 United Way campaign kicks off in earnest at Duncan’s Charles Hoey Park. A rebound is necessary, or programs and services will be lost. “We have to raise more money or it will impact our organization,” United Way Cowichan’s resource development associate Tammy Isaachsen said. “There will be programs that have been funded for years and years that will simply not receive funding, or will receive significantly less funding.” United Way supports 16 Cowichan partners, including Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Cowichan Family Caregivers Support Society, Cowichan Valley Basket Society, the MS Society, Vancouver Island Crisis Society and Volunteer Cowichan. Prior to this year, reserves have been used to maintain funding levels for these programs, but Isaachsen said those reserves have

QUICK FACTS  Each host will welcome two youth – one Indonesian and one Canadian - from October 11th to January 2nd 2015  Youth volunteers should be included as family members  One spare room is all that is required  Hosts receive a weekly allowance of $180 to help with costs  Two project supervisors will be supporting the program locally

During their stay, the young people will take part in various volunteer projects in the community, organizing events and activities and developing their communication and leadership skills while living a memorable experience.

We invite people of all ages, ethnicities, faiths, genders, sexual orientations, family types, and more to express their interest. Since 1971, more than 37,000 youth from Canada and around the world have participated in Canada World Youth projects. https://www.canadaworldyouth.org

The tragedy of the Red Balloon demolition order Duncan: there must have been a better way

F

rom a practical, risk-management perspective, the City of Duncan probably did everything by the book in the case of the old Red Balloon building. As unfortunate as the situation is, we expect the city acted on the advice of its lawyers and insurance agents and behaved in a way it thought was in the best interests of the taxpayer when ordering the building demolished. Whether that advice was indeed correct will probably eventually be decided in the courtroom. But we can’t help but wonder whether, in its desire to act correctly, the city has missed an opportunity to do what was right. The lawyers As it stands now, the best case scewin another nario for the city will see a vacant lot on a prime downtown street corner, a one court judgment that frees it (or its insurance company) from further costs, and the alienation and impoverishment of a woman who was a stalwart business and community leader for a number of years. We are not saying the city should have stepped up and relieved Susan Faulkner from the debt caused by her damaged building; fault in that situation has yet to be determined. We are saying the city could have engaged in talks aimed at determining whether or a not a partnership could have been struck that resulted in the elimination of an expensive court battle and some sort of asset being built or rebuilt on the corner of Station and Craig. Those talks never happened. Failing that, at the very least, it could have held off on the demolition order until the courts decided if Faulkner would be awarded enough money to resurrect her building. Perhaps circumstances rendered this conclusion inevitable. But many of us live and work and contribute in small towns because we value small town values of caring and co-operation. What happened here just feels cold.

We say:

People are prone to saying ‘good enough,’ or “I’ll take care of that later,’ or ‘it’s not a big deal.’ Except they later find out it really was a big deal, after a tragedy happens that will affect them for the rest of their lives. It’s simple truth that people sometimes need their community to help them take care of themselves. And that is exactly what the CVRD is doing with its new pool bylaw.

The CVRD is preparing bylaws to require fencing around backyard pools.

Somenos Marsh conservation efforts taking flight Paul Fletcher

News Leader Pictorial

T

hings are looking up in Somenos Marsh. Political timing and years of effort are finally bringing this saga to a new chapter. On the front line of the story, the Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society has stood its ground for more than 25 years arguing for a recognized boundary between urban development and the wild habitat in the Marsh. The fight has been bloody and costly at times. Politicians have been kicked around and local believers have been labeled for life. I know the story well as I helped create the SMWS in the late ‘80s, and am currently the president of the group. Over time the society has changed. We were once much younger and hotheaded. We were even willing to talk about standing in front of bulldozers if needed. Now we are greyer and wiser. Our many victories have taught us political savvy and

our losses have taught us many other skills, especially patience. The last decade has proven our vision true with rebuilt trust and relationships with our partners. The past couple of years have been a bit of a setback. First a dike dissecting the agricultural lands, followed by the loss of Agricultural Land Reserve status for marsh lands and then a proposed shift of the Urban Containment Boundary with its potential loss of green space and agricultural land. Standing our ground with the community behind us has once again paid off. The police station proposal for marshland was defeated and it now appears our long-planned stormwater treatment wetland in its place may become reality. North Cowichan is also now talking about formalizing the boundaries of the Somenos Marsh Conservation Area, something the Marsh Society has been asking for since 1992. Surprisingly the proposed boundary will still include the defeated police station site, leaving

Pools are on private property and the property owners have a responsibility to make their homes secure. Guidelines are easily available to guide them on best practices. The CVRD does not need to play Big Brother. The fact of the matter is accidents happen, tragedies occur. And no amount of legislation is going to prevent that.

COWICHAN LEADERS

it as it originally was, part of the conservation area. The new boundary being proposed by North Cowichan also includes lands north of the Beverly Street dike recently purchased by North Cowichan to ease passage for the dike crossing the farmland. The SMWS cannot take all the credit for the successes. We tend to pin it more on the fast approaching municipal elections and strategic voting on the part of councillors. We will celebrate the win when it comes but still will not change our minds about keeping the green space eyed for development in the Somenos floodplain for agriculture and as a buffer to the conservation area. We are very excited to report the provincial Wildlife Management Area designation, which we have been seeking since 1989, might soon become reality. To celebrate our 25th anniversary, planning and fundraising is now underway for a Wildlife Viewing Tower to provide a 360 degree

view of the marsh. This project will complete the wildlife-viewing infrastructure planned for the Open Air Classroom. This October is also our third WildWings Festival, celebrating wildlife and nature in the Cowichan Valley. This year it has grown to include the Cowichan estuary. The Festival runs Oct. 9 to Nov. 14 and is timed to coincide with the return of the trumpeter swans, right around Halloween. Events include a Festival launch party at the Craig Street Brew Pub, a Celebrate Nature Day for families, an art exhibition and a festival-ending theatre concert with Holly Arnzten and the Wilds performing with the Alexander School choir. Find out more at wildwingsfestival.com. Paul Fletcher is a former Duncan city councillor who writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial.

Why is the youth vote in elections so low? “Because youths are enjoying life. They don’t really care about politics unless their family is involved that way. England has (mailed) postal votes to make it easier.”

Wrecking ball aimed at more than a building

Dear editor I do not know all the legal justifications for the demolition of the old Red Balloon building. What I do know is that its owner, Susan Faulkner, has made a huge contribution to this valley. She has donated hundreds of items to fundraising events. She has worked hard to enhance our downtown core. And she has created a children’s paradise in the amazing toy store she ran for many years. I am sure more than a building is being demolished. I imagine Susan’s sense of the world as a fair place and her trust in due process will be demolished right along with the building. I can only hope she will at least be financially compensated for what she has already spent, but I am sure it would take more than money to help her feel good about the city where she did business for so many years. Connie Masson Duncan

CVRD surprise is really quite surprising

Dear editor Re: the Paldi crematorium court decision. It is quite amazing to me that the planning manager informed the media they were surprised. You might like to look carefully at a March 2012 planning memorandum we obtained and used in the court proceeding where the CVRD staff clearly identified that its zoning was very uncertain, did not explicitly

We asked you: “Should B.C.’s teachers be legislated back to work?” You answered:

Liberals want teachers out on strike

This was written before the CVRD asked the operating licence be suspended, and in fact before the court proceeding was even commenced. I just thought the public should have the whole story. L. John Alexander Cox Taylor, Victoria

Right to negotiate class size essential to education

Dear editor Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender should respect the rule of law, Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and B.C.’s highest court, remove clause E80 from the teachers’ contract and return to the bargaining table to negotiate in good faith, with respect for B.C.’s teachers, for B.C. school children and for public education. The B.C. Supreme Court has twice found the B.C. government violated charter rights of B.C. teachers by stripping them of

their ability to negotiate class size and advocate for adequate support for children in the classroom. Instead of abiding by the court’s rulings, the government has appealed the most recent court decision, while continuing to say in negotiations through the summer, “Let the court decide.” E80 would make it difficult, if not impossible, for teachers to address these issues — issues that are so important for student learning — in their contract in future, regardless of the outcome of the appeal. It appears to me that the “Let the court decide” line is a lie and that the government wants to negate the appeal court’s ruling before it even happens. Jane Kilthei Cowichan Bay

Dispute is about money and power

Dear editor Here’s what is really being negotiated in the B.C. teachers dispute: “prep time, full pay for maternity and disability leave, more profes-

sional days, less classroom teaching time, more extended health benefits including acupuncture, massage therapy, fertility treatments and significant changes to remuneration for teachers on call. I suspect these issues are not on the agenda of a significant number of teachers but their union rules prevent them from speaking out. How can this be about class size: 550,000 students divided by 30,400 teachers = 17 to 1 (based on 2012 ministry of education figures provided by the BCTF). How can this be about wages? Where else can you start a job at $49,000, plus benefits? This is about power and money for the BCTF. Tony Whiteley Chemainus

Dear editor In 2012, the Labour Relations Board specifically determined the limited amount of service teachers could withdraw, thus permitting teachers to conduct a legal three-day strike in protest to Bill 22. How is the application of essential services levels in this round of bargaining different? Has the Liberal government foregone its right to limit teachers withdrawal of service? Could it not use essential services language to get teachers back into the classrooms, at least at essential services levels? I propose it will not enact essential services levels, because it is politically expedient to have the teachers striking. Teachers are portrayed as the bad guy preventing the students from getting an education. As opposed to what is really happening, which is the Liberal government sacrificing students’ education to satisfy its profoundly vindictive objective of destroying the BCTF. John Boan-Mitchell Mill Bay

Is Cowichan getting gassed at the pumps?

Dear editor Correct me if I am wrong but it seems that a transit tax has snuck up on us when we weren’t looking because this summer Victoria motor fuel was less expensive than Cowichan Valley fuel. Otherwise why would we be paying $1.34.9 per litre when Victoria pays $1.30.9? This is not the first time. Earl Belcourt Cowichan

Ditidaht proud to show off their community, and not just to royals

from page 1

The Rotary Club of North Delta spruced up the band’s former tworoom schoolhouse, a building that hadn’t been used for 10 years Clarke said. After upgrading the building — the electrical and painting, to name just a few — Rotary members started collecting books. They combed through thousands of donated books and canvassed the community to see what kind they were interested in. Rotarians also partnered with

London Drugs, which donated three new computers and a printer. Literacy Alberni donated eight refurbished computers to the cause. The former two-room school now hosts a library in one room and a youth centre in the other. Clarke said she wasn’t sure why her school was chosen, but heard the royals had an interest in seeing what the Write to Read program had done. James Hammond, private secretary for the LG and executive director of Government House, said the royals expressed a desire

to learn more about First Nations during this trip. Interest in Canada’s first people isn’t new for the Earl and Countess, who visited Canada 36 and 12 times respectively. Hammond said the couple have visited First Nations in other parts of the country, even witnessing a truth and reconciliation commission event in Ontario. Their interest and the fact opening the new library was part of the LG’s fall itinerary made the Sept. 15 event a fait accompli. “Everyone is proud, and really excited to show off their traditions

and this beautiful community,” Clarke said. “They’re very welcoming to whoever visits, whether they’re royalty or not.” At the event, which starts at 10:15 a.m., the LG, the Queen’s youngest son and daughter-in-law will enjoy a traditional welcome, with song and dance and a lunch of crab, halibut and salmon, before leaving for Alert Bay at noon. Their official visit concludes Sept. 16. There have been seven public royal visits to Vancouver Island since 2000.

Arts Trophy NOMINATIONS

2013 Winner Ann Mendenhall (right) with artwork by Rosemary Danaher

The City of Duncan is accepting nominations for its 19th Annual Perpetual Arts Trophy, sponsored by the Cowichan News Leader Pictorial. The public is welcome to nominate local teachers, artists or patrons who have promoted Valley arts during the past year. The winner will be announced by council December 1 at City Hall and receive an original artwork donated by a Cowichan Valley Arts Council Artist.

COWICHAN VALLEY ARTS COUNCIL

Nominations and reasons must be sent to mayor and council at:

tion at 9 a.m. and the walk at 10. “She’s very weak,’’ said Clements of her mom. “She can’t walk very far. It’s pretty rough.’’ Jean Jordan, who’s been the driving force behind the walk in previous years, also hasn’t been in prime health and had to pass on the organizing duties this year. Clements and Nottingham knew it was something they had to do because awareness and support for those dealing with the devastating effects of Ovarian cancer needs to be addressed. Dewarle was diagnosed three years ago and is just 57 years old. “We’re really trying to push for the awareness just so people can advocate for themselves when they go to the doctor,’’ said Clements. As with so many diseases, early detection is paramount but Ovarian cancer brings a particularly emotional response. “There’s no beating it,’’ said Clements. Clements wanted to make people aware of the date change from previous local walks so it didn’t coincide with the Cowichan Exhibition’s Sunday finale. “We’re trying a different day this year,’’ she said. Thousands of walkers in 45 cities across the country already did Ovarian Cancer Canada’s Walk of Hope last weekend. September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer is the most fatal women’s cancer. There are 17,000 women in Canada living with the disease and about 2,600 more are diagnosed each year. After a warm-up, the walk will commence for about an hour or 12 laps (approximately 5K) of the track. There will be hot dogs after that and Mr. Mike’s is providing mini Mike burgers.

Condos approved for Maple Bay waterfront

In what he termed “a kind of irresponsible move before release of a House of Commons committee report,” Nanaimo-Cowichan MP Reed Elley charged Canadian senators jumped the gun by recommending the legalization of marijuana.

2002: schools

School District 79 officials said they hoped to begin work in 2004-2005 on a new 1,000-student high school to replace Cowichan Secondary. The estimated $15 million project should be completed in 2006, they said.

ithin the past few years, the waterfront at Mill Bay marina has been transformed into a delightful melange of tidy wharves, a pier-top eatery and elegant condos. Maple Bay marina has the wharves and a pleasant restaurant but still no condos. In a close vote in September 2002, North Cowichan council approved an upscale housing development on the marina’s 2.4-hectare waterfront property for 44 condo units. At the time, the land was zoned for commercial marine purposes only, with the potential for a 100-suite hotel. Supporting the condo proposal were Mayor Rex Hollett and Councillors Glen Ridgway, Bruce Payne and Tom Walker. Councillors George Seymour, Dave Haywood and Jon Lefebure had a different take, voicing strong concerns about density, traffic, sewage and over-development of a foreshore property in a rural area. Although the marina estimated the condo development would inject $4 million into the local economy, Seymour, Haywood and Lefebure wondered whether turning a commercial site into a residential one was the preferable way to foster economic development in North Cowichan.

No two students are alike. And no other school cultivates the development of the whole child in quite the same way as Dwight School Canada.

Refuge makes Quamichan Lake trout population breathe easy

New community garden planted

Bubble bath: combined effort by a number of groups keeping fish alive in North Cowichan

Lake Cowichan has driven the first stake into the ground for a new community garden behind the Centennial Park ballfield. A community partnership including the Town of Lake Cowichan, Cowichan Green Community, Island Health and the Lake Bloomers Garden Club was on hand late last month to celebrate. Upon completion at the end of March, the public will be able to use eight raised beds in a fenced-in area, compost bins, pathways, a pergola entranceway, and, hopefully, at least one bench. Nora Arajs from Cowichan Green Community says the site is ideal for a number of reasons. “Community access being a key one,” said Arajs. “But also participation. I think it’s important that it’s visible for the community. People can be engaged, they can look at it, come through the gate, they can participate as they choose.” She adds the site has great sun exposure, is relatively free of blackberries, broom, and other brush, and it does not encroach on the nearby wetlands. Through a series of workshops beginning in late September and going through March, CGC will offer classes on how to build beds, compost, and how to do a site plan. For more information, go to cowichangreencommunity.org or contact Stafford at 250-748-8506.

Tage Harvey inspects a trout he caught in Chemainus Lake. Trout in Quamichan Lake will be living longer thanks to new trout refuge installed this summer.

— Tamu Miles

owichan’s hot, beautiful summer could have proven problematic for Quamichan Lake trout, had it not been for the creation of a trout refuge in the lake. Why a trout refuge? Quamichan Lake has too many nutrients in it, some from the runoff from what people put on their lawns. Nutrients support algae growth, which produces oxygen as it grows. In previous years, towards the end of the summer, when the water is warm the algae starts to die off, sucking the oxygen out of the water. The trout and their food chain find themselves in water that’s both low in oxygen and too warm. That’s when the fish start to die. But that hasn’t been the case this year, thanks to the creation of the trout refuge, a collaboration between the Municipality of North Cowichan, the Rotary Club of Duncan, TimberWest Forest Corporation, Woodmere Strata Corporation, Aquatech Environmental Systems and the Quamichan Watershed Stewardship Society. Thanks to the installation of 1,500 linear feet of a bubble aeration system, which disburses compressed air, the water in Quamichan Lake has more oxygen and is cooler. “As the bubbles expand, it puts air into

iving in Canada, we don’t consider bugs as part of our daily diet but the United Nations reports that over 2 billion people worldwide supplement their diets with insects. Insects are actually quite nutritious being high in protein, fat and minerals. For example, caterpillers have more protein than beef. (Now if we can just get over the “ick” feeling of insect consumption.....) Sometimes visiting your doctor, you are given a lot of information and it can be hard to keep it all straight. At the end of the visit, try this: repeat back the main instructions your doctor has given you to ensure you got it right. It helps the doctor and it will certain make things clearer for you. Your doctor won’t mind.

More women are having their first baby later in life compared to their counterparts of a generation ago. There were nine times more first births to women over 35 than there were 40 years ago. On the plus side, these children seem to fare better due to better economic security. On the negative side, older women are at greater risk of having complications like diabetes and heart problems during pregnancy. Here’s another reason to stop smoking especially if you are a parent. It seems that children of smoking parents are more likely to experiment with cigarettes and end up being heavy smokers themselves.

the water and it cools it too,” Jim Cosh, a director with the QWSS said. “The positive thing is that we’ve had very few trout die and the ones that have are on the other side of the lake.” The new system, which Cosh says cost close to $20,000 to put in place, has been operating since mid-July and gives the cutthroat and rainbow trout an acre of cooler water with more oxygen in it to swim around in. Since then, “little chubbs....could be a half million or so of them,” have been spotted in the water, a very good sign. “We believe the trout are there.” It’s a good news story because of the following people’s combined efforts: Cosh, who donated an aeration tube and header to North Cowichan; North Cowichan, which purchased a compressor from funds provided by QWSS, made the electrical connection, provided liability access coverage and is paying for the annual operation and maintenance; and the Duncan Rotary Club, which donated the materials and built a compressor shed. Since 2010, 65,500 trout have been added to the lake by the Fresh Water Trout Hatchery. Brian Martin, manager of the Vancouver Island Trout Hatchery, said the funding to stock the lake comes in part from a percentage of the fee charged for angling licenses.

Giving the term ‘weekend warrior’ a whole new meaning Warrior Games: Steve Sxwithul’txw talks about his new TV series

Kathy Santini

A

49-year-old “weekend warrior,” who grew up in Cowichan has given the term a whole new meaning. Tired of exercising on a trusty treadmill, Steve Sxwithul’txw, a member of the Penelakut band and now an independent TV producer, has created a 13-week series called, aptly enough, Warrior Games. Episode one of the 12-episode program, being shown on the Aboriginal Peoples TV Network, first aired on Sept. 6. Episode two, airing tomorrow, takes place near his former backyard in Kulleet Bay north of Ladysmith and involves a war canoe. “It’s a chance to highlight Aboriginal sports across the country,” the former policeman and TV journalist said. “Some of the techniques we profile were originally used in war; those war or survival skills are now used recreationally, like the war canoe.” In episode one, our hero — that’d be Steve — travels to Choctaw, Mississippi to learn about stick ball, which he says was used hundreds of years ago to settle disputes. “It’s similar to lacrosse with fewer rules and more bloodshed,” Sxwithul’txw said, about the violent game which routinely has not one, but two ambulances waiting on the sides to take the injured away. “No helmet or pads allowed.” In episode one, we learn the game is played with two sticks called kapucha, one in each hand. Players pass the ball or towa, with the stick. This is done as they try “I tried to get in to score a goal by hitting a pole or shape for this show. fabvssa, with the ball. “Stickball is one of the toughest It’s definitely a sports I’ve ever tried, and it was young man’s game.” a true test for this Coast Salish warrior,” the show creator said. “It’s very intense and kind of intimidating.” Through season one — Sxwithul’txw is hopeful there’ll be a season two — he travels primarily to Canadian communities, including Squamish, Whistler, Chilliwack and Osoyoos, to name a few. Traditional and contemporary games were filmed with

Young girls from the Stz’uminus Nation try to teach Warrior Games host Steve Sxwithul’txw everything they know about paddling. young people teaching the middle-aged man about their sport. Remember the earlier reference to a treadmill? Well at one point during the filming, that form of exercise was looking pretty good. Sxwithul’txw, a self-described good skier, got “cocky and over-confident,” when he was being taught to snowboard and cracked a few ribs. “I tried to get in shape for this show. It’s definitely a young man’s game; it made for good TV,” he laughingly said. His goal in producing the show was to give people information about the past and about sports they knew nothing about. “The takeaway I’d like them to have is how fun it is to explore sports and get away from those video games,”

Sxwithul’txw said. While he’s compiling a list of games he’d like to film if he gets the nod for season two, he’s also received development funding for a program called Stlatlimx Police Files, a community policing docudrama. In the meantime, he’ll continue working full-time in Victoria for Island Health, as an Aboriginal employment co-ordinator. His message, to Aboriginal youth and others, is that absolutely anything is possible. “I was a police officer then a journalist...I wanted to tell my own stories and four years later I got a national TV show,” he said. If you want to watch the show, check local listings for dates and times.

Scallywags, pirates and singers needed

South Island Musical Theatre Society: Rehearsals for Pirates of Penzance get underway Tuesday John McKinley

The South Island Musical Society is following up last spring’s My Fair Lady with a production of Pirates of Penzance.

ver thought about giving musical theatre a try? This could be your chance. Rehearsals for the South Island Musical Theatre Society production of Pirates of Penzance get underway Tuesday and pirates, policemen and maidens are needed to join the chorus. SIMS has been showcasing some of Cowichan’s finest amateur talent in lavish, colourful musicals for decades. Men and women of all ages are welcome to audition, but in particular, this chorus needs men.

“Ladies, make sure to bring your husbands, boyfriends, fathers, brothers and friends out to our first rehearsal next week,” show publicist Laura Westwick said. “There is no formal audition for chorus members, so no need to feel shy! For those who have never taken part in musical theatre, the society places an equal value on enthusiasm and regular attendance. Music director Peter Yelland encourages anyone who wants to have fun, learn a lot and who can carry a tune to come out and give it a try.” Rehearsals begin Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Cowichan Theatre rehearsal hall in the Island Savings Centre. Directed by Gregg Perry and

choreographed by Joyce Scott, this well-known, tongue-in-cheek, century-old Gilbert & Sullivan classic is set be premiered to the public early in late January. Perry said that beyond the lighthearted humour and the singalong score, Pirates also offers a satirical, topical message. “We hope to take a satisfying shot at all the pirates of Wall Street who have escaped walking the plank,” he said. Anyone adept, or interested in helping backstage, or with costumes, make-up, props and sets is also welcome to show up Tuesday. For information on helping offstage, contact SIMTS vice-president, Cliff Braaten at 250-743-4826 or cliffbraaten@shaw.ca. For more on the society, go to cowichanmusicalsociety.bc.ca.

She will be sorrowfully missed, but will live on forever in our hearts, and in the twinkle of her grandchildrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. In accordance with her wishes, a small family gathering has taken place to commemorate and celebrate her life.

This was the start of a successful 30-year career in journalism with newspapers in Nelson (1947â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1960), Prince Rupert (1962â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1970), and Nanaimo (1970â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1972), and lastly with the Victoria Daily Colonist (1972â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1977), where she was Family Editor and then City Editor. Leslie married Frank Drew in 1961. During their years in Prince Rupert, she and Frank made numerous trips to the Queen Charlotte Islands. Fascinated by the argillite carvings of the Haida, Leslie teamed up with carver Douglas Wilson in the 1970s to research, write, and publish the beautiful and insightful book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Argillite: Art of the Haidaâ&#x20AC;? (1st edition, 1980). In 1981, Leslie and Frank settled into their newly built home (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sahtlam Riseâ&#x20AC;?) on a small acreage near Duncan, where they created a lovely landscape garden. Knowledgeable rhododendron enthusiasts, Leslie and Frank were among the founding members of the Cowichan Valley Rhododendron Society, of which Leslie became Secretary and an Editor of the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newsletter. After Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1996, Leslie continued on at Sahtlam Rise, actively engaged in researching and writing on topics of historic interest. She passed away peacefully on August 21, 2014. Family and friends will recall Leslieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ironic sense of humour, her Duncan Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market marmalade, her relentless curiosity in tracking down the facts, and her spirit of generosityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially with books. A gathering of family and friends will be announced later. Flowers are declined in favour of donations to the Cowichan Valley Museum and Archives. Memories of Leslie may be shared with family at In_Memory@shaw.ca.

For those who love, time is not. Missing you today and always.

Weather couldn’t be better for golf

Sagres pounce on lull

Fine days: Solid play a reflection of the conditions Don Bodger

J

uly and August brought perfect weather and no excuses for poor scores due to conditions from ladies’ division members at the Cowichan Golf and Country Club. The novelty game O.N.E.S. was played July 23 and winners of the respective handicap divisions included: Ellen Merriam, Mandy McKelvie and Joyce Willis. Birdies were made by Ellen Merriam on No. 4, Tina Pace on No. 6 and Pat Molyneaux on No. 12. Molyneaux made a chip-in for her birdie. Closest-to-the-pin winners were: Andrea Morris (No. 8), Christa Robson (No. 13) and Mandy McKelvie (No. 15). The Aug. 6 par round featured awesome weather that just kept going at that point. Marianne Hunt, Val Anderson, Maartje Reimer, Carol Willan and Gloria Claxton were the respective handicap bracket winners. Hunt scored a birdie for the K.P. on No. 15. Robson (No.

7) also had a birdie while the No. 6 K.P. went to Morris. On Aug. 13, there was actually some rain and clouds to throw the golfers off. Team 1 of Robson, Jeanne Wilkinson, Merriam and Val Grainger tied for the win with Team 2 that contained Morris, Claxton, Anderson and Molyneaux. Linda Morrison made birdies on No. 6 and 7. Arlene Lepp and Hunt also got into the act on No. 6 while Ellen Lyon took care of business on No. 13. Lepp’s birdie resulted from a chip-in. Sandy Buchanan also made a chip-in on No. 1. Wilkinson (No. 6) and Kathryn Oliphant (No. 8) had K.P.s. It was another perfect day again for a medal, pin, spoon round on Aug. 20. Hunt, Willan, Judy Holmes and Claxton captured top honours in their respective handicap divisions. Holmes had the hot hand on No. 6 that resulted in a birdie and the K.P. for the hole. Lepp birdied No. 4 and Lyon was the K.P. recipient on No. 15.

With Timbits Soccer, the first goal really is having fun. And with over 200,000 kids playing Timbits Soccer, that’s a whole lot of smiling faces.

Battle for the ball pits Kyle Kononowicz of Cowichan United against Hamish Walde of FC Sagre Highlanders on Saturday at Rotary Park. Highlanders won 3-1.

he absence of four starters certainly didn’t help Cowichan United in the quest to win its opening game of the Div. 2 Vancouver Island Soccer League season. With three of the players occupying spots in the middle of the park, it made a big difference in Cowichan’s 3-1 loss at McAdam Park Saturday against Sagres Highlanders. “The game was what I was expecting,’’ noted Cowichan Div. 2 coach Ryan Flynn. “They are a well-coached and structured team with a lot of youth and speed. With the lineup we had, it was a positive game. “The guys put the effort in, but were forced into spots that they normally would not be in.’’ Cowichan still went into the half tied 1-1. “I was comfortable with where we were but knowing that the next goal either way was very critical,’’ Flynn pointed out. Cowichan suffered a minor lapse of about five minutes and Sagres took full advantage to score two goals. Darian Achurch made sure the game didn’t become a runaway with three great saves. Fans on both sides were applauding in admiration. Flynn noted Cowichan will be working out some things in training to prepare for the next game, Saturday in Victoria against Gordon Head. Meanwhile, George White is coaching an Over 35 men’s B team this season that will be playing at the new Rotary Park facility. Div. 1 Cowichan LMG Pringle, coming off a 7-1 win over Westcastle plays its home opener Saturday at 6 p.m. at Keserich Field against Comox, one of two teams promoted from Div. 2 this season.

he boy who first brought substantial awareness of childhood cancers to the community is now a young man but the tournament named after him is still going strong. The 16th-annual Cody Classic is being held Friday through Sunday at Glenora’s Waldon Park. Cody Swain was just three when it all began and is now 19, attending UBC. “He’ll be coming home from UBC,’’ said dad Wes Swain, so he can take part in the tournament festivities. Wes Swain expects as many as 16 teams to participate, but no longer lobbies for entries. The tournament has been so popular over the years, interested parties come to him.

onsistency remains the top priority for the Cowichan Valley Capitals heading into the B.C. Hockey League season. Coach Bob Beatty received a prime example of the two extremes when the Caps beat Nanaimo 5-4 at Cowichan Arena Tuesday night, but then fell 7-3 to the same Clippers in Nanaimo the next night. “It was like two different teams,’’ said Beatty. “I really liked our game Tuesday night. We were winning races to the puck, finishing checks and I thought we were playing really well. “(Last night), was a different story. I don’t think we were as hungry.’’ The Caps fell behind 6-2 after the second period in Nanaimo and it was basically game over. “It’s something we need to address,’’ said Beatty. “We need consistency.’’ The Caps are at Sooke Saturday to play their final exhibition game against the Victoria Grizzlies.

raise money thanks to the support of generous sponsors, but no dance. “You’ve got to evolve,’’ said Swain. The dances weren’t as well attended in recent years as in the past, but there will still be a steak dinner Saturday at the park after the games are done for the day. Games are played purely for fun, but there’s always incentives to try and win, such as paying money to the cause to buy back foul balls. People from outside the valley — Courtenay, Nanaimo, Comox and Victoria, among others — regularly attend. “We don’t have teams per se,’’ said Swain. “Every time they come, they say we should have something like this in Courtenay or wherever. “People put a team together just for the joy of giving. Some people have never played ball before.’’

Lean time is experienced by Sean Buchanan of Nanaimo, as he cradles the puck in front of the Caps’ Jesse Neher, who’s trying to check him.

Playoffs missed Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

Cowichan finished the Victoria and District Cricket Association season with seven wins, 10 losses and one rainout from 18 games. It wasn’t enough to vault the team into the playoffs, with only the top four making it. Cowichan placed sixth out of the league’s 10 teams. The final regularseason game against the Islanders was not played. The Islanders had a disciplinary issue stemming from the previous week and were forced to forfeit the game to Cowichan. Cowichan’s standing was obviously a disappointment and the team will be hoping for better things in 2015.

Mount Brenton’s course shines on a sunny weekend

Friday, September 12, 2014

Cougars receive a rude awakening from Canuck alumni

The old guys still have it. A Vancouver Canucks’ alumni team that included valley products Doug Bodger, far left, and Greg Adams beat the young bucks from the Victoria Cougars Junior B hockey team 5-3 in a charity game Sunday at the Archie Browning Arena in Esquimalt. Bodger said the strategy passed on to the Cou-

gars was clear from the beginning. “Take it easy on the old guys.’’ With Jack McIlhargey as coach, the alumni bolted into a 4-1 lead before the Cougars cut the margin to one. “They turned it on a little bit,’’ said Bodger. But Cliff Ronning wrapped it up with an emptynetter. Game proceeds went to Cops for Cancer.

Men’s amateur: Nothing but great weather for tournament’s revival after a one-year hiatus

he new regime at Mount Brenton Golf Club couldn’t have picked a better time to showcase the course. After a one-year hiatus, the men’s amateur tournament returned in fine style on a brilliant weekend that drew raves from the participants — not that the organizers had anything to do with the weather conditions, but they’ll take the compliments. “The weather was very good,’’ said Mount Brenton pro Andy Hajer of the 36-hole event staged Saturday and Sunday. “That was ideal.’’ The 161 players couldn’t make any excuses about the conditions affecting their scores. The number of players was close to a full field. “We expected there might be a bit of a fall-off,’’ said Hajer after the preceding hiatus. “We wanted to make sure we showcased Mount Brenton to Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.’’ There was nothing but positive feedback about the course and the tournament’s organization. Brian Toth of Gorge Vale was especially pleased since he won the low gross title with a five-under par 136 after rounds of 70 and 66. Phil Kondrak, also of Gorge Vale, finished three shots back with rounds of 70 and 69 for a 139. Jay Banfield (71-71) and Derek Reid (74-68) tied at 142 while Dallas Jones (72-71) and Tai Reynolds (74-69) both checked in at 143. Mount Brenton’s Jim Carlson won the low net with a 130, four ahead of another Mount Brenton player, Charlie Gallagher, and Dan Henry. Earl Blom, Colin Knight and Tom Schmidbauer were all at 135, with Charles Keehn and Ed Mulrooney both at 136.

t may be called the Terry Fox Run, but that doesn’t reflect the full scope of the event. Participants in Sunday’s event that starts at 9 a.m. at the B.C. Forest Discovery Centre are encouraged to walk, wheel, ride or run. “The run is not a race, but a familyoriented participant run of various course lengths — one kilometre, three kilometre, six-kilometre routes marked out,’’ pointed out Louise Borsato of the Duncan Daybreak Rotary Club, the organizational group assisted by the CeeVacs Road Runners. Running, walking, bicycle, stroller and dogs on a leash are all welcome. Light food and refreshments free to participants will follow, with entertainment provided by Hope King, face-painting, pond fishing, prizes and games for the kids. “Due to strike action, the school runs may not happen this year,’’ pointed out Borsato, “so we sure would welcome any schools, teams or business groups to help the cause. “Such a wonderful tradition. We hope to keep the enthusiasm for participants of the annual Terry Fox Run.’’ The event originated in Port Coquitlam, Fox’s hometown, after his Marathon of Hope to raise money for cancer research ended in Thunder Bay, Ont.
