Public safety concerns lead conservation offi cers to euthanize wolf

Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial

A lone female wolf, some south Cowichan folks called Solo, was recently trapped then shot by conservation of� cers.

Of� cer Scott Norris said he and his staff didn’t make a fast decision to euthanize the two-year-old wolf, but believed it may have been a safety risk to people and dogs

walking in Mill Bay’s Haul Road area near Bamberton.

The animal was killed March 31 after staff received more than a dozen calls, starting about mid-March, about the wolf.

It reportedly chased some dogs, and ap-proached some people with leashed canines in what may have been manoeuvres to protect its territory.

“It’s hard to say why this behaviour started, but once it starts, it will continue,” said Norris.

Staff consulted other environment ministry staff, including a veterinarian, about wolf behaviour before deciding to destroy it.

Relocation was considered, but wolves gener-ally can’t be transplanted to another pack’s territory due to high odds that pack would kill the stranger, Norris explained.

Even if it was adopted by another pack “it could attack someone it that area” after close encounters with people in the Mill Bay area, he explained.

Authorities also couldn’t chance the risk Solo may have posed to south-Cowichan people and pets, he indicated.

“How long do we wait in dealing with a situation — until it attacks someone?” he asked, noting many locals had no issue with the animal.

“Unfortunately, wildlife management isn’t an exact science,” Norris said, regretting hav-ing to kill the wolf. “Public safety trumps the situation.

“This particular wolf was following people down the trail,” he said of calls from residents who spotted it. “We take people at their word.

This was a challenging case.”From � rst reports, Norris said he believed the

wolf was just curious.“We didn’t want to put the animal down. But

it ran at a woman with a dog, then ran off into the bush — and that changed my mind.”

The animal’s challenging behaviour was not typical of wolves, he said.

South Cowichan’s wolf population was unknown, he said.

“There are no other wolves that we know of in that area, but that could change.”

The decision to kill the south-end wolf, and other potentially dangerous animals, comes with the turf of being a conservation of� cer, he signalled.

“We do this job knowing we’re not going to make everyone happy.”

Rare eclipse rusts local moon-views

Cowichan — and Canadians from coast to coast — were treated to a rare blood moon this week.

An unusual eclipse, known as a blood-red moon eclipse, occurred at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday when our view of the moon was completely covered by the Earth’s shadow.

“The appearance is caused by the light from the sun being refracted by Earth’s atmosphere, similar to what happens at sunrise or sunset,” reads the descrip-tion from Vancouver’s H.R. MacMillan Space Centre.

Vivid descriptions aside, the “blood red” actually seemed more coppery in colour.

The eclipse kicked off a four-part eclipse series known as a lunar tetrad, says the Space Centre.

“It means it is one of four successive total lunar eclipses in a row without a partial eclipse in between, each of which is separated by six full moons.”

The next eclipses will be: Oct. 8, 2014; April 4, 2015; and Sept. 28, 2015.

Also occurring throughout April is the “opposition” of Mars, meaning the red planet will have its closest approach to Earth in 26 months — with the two plan-ets only 92 million kilometres apart.

This happens every two years, when the Earth passes between Mars and the sun.

— Kolby SolinskyAndrew Leong

The Earth casts its shadow on the moon, causing the moon to dim and turn red at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Andrew Leong/� leDave and Linda Bikoski of Cobble Hill look over a collecton of memories during Evergreen Independent School’s April 12 party celebrating its 30th anniversary and the 100th anniversary of the Evergreen school building, the former Cobble Hill schoolhouse.


Persistence is paying off in getting derelict boats yanked from some harbours, Cowichan MP Jean Crowder says.

But while the NDP member was delighted a few small crafts were removed recently from Oak Bay Marina, she remains anxious to anchor Ottawa action on her private-member’s bill concerning derelict vessels plaguing all Cana-dian shores.

“There are hundreds and hun-dreds and hundreds of abandoned

vessels; they don’t have an accurate count of how many there are.”

She cited the replica paddle-wheeler Beaver that replaced oil-laden Dominion in Cowichan Bay after it was towed to Mexico for salvaging.

To Crowder, the long saga behind July’s disappearance of the Dominion displayed a � eet of bureaucratic and jurisdictional snags between our federal depart-ments of transport, � sheries and environment.

For instance, Oak Bay’s boats may have posed navigational risks, sparking Transport Canada’s involvement.

It also helped to have an RCMP marine crew tagging those idle crafts, warning the vessels and buoys could be removed.

Fisheries folks can act if boats are harming � sh or habitat; envi-ronment staff gets involved if a

vessel is polluting.Despite Oak Bay’s success,

Crowder repeated her concerns about Canada lacking clear laws for the Coast Guard, and perhaps police, to seize, sell or scrap derelict boats, then prosecute the owners. She was happy with some legislative progress being made in Ottawa.

“I’ve had the best response from (Transport Minister) Lisa Raitt than from any other minister in the (Conservative) government,” said Crowder, noting Raitt’s recent derelict-vessel correspondence.

“They said a group is working on (derelict ship laws), and looking at Washington State’s model, which is good news,” she said of that state’s vessel registration-fee reserve fund-ing removal of dumped boats.

“They’ve been able to get about 500 vessels off the water, and our relentless pressure is starting to have an effect.”

MP still hopeful derelict boat lobby may see resultsCoast-to-coast issue: MP feels she may have caught the ear of federal minister to address the problem

UP FRONT

Woman walks away from care without a wordHave you seen Julianna Thorne?If so, call the police who want information

about her whereabouts after Thorne — who requires medication — left her home near Cowichan District Hospital without telling anyone where she was going.

Cpl. Krista Hobday of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP says caregiver Patrice Reagan

contacted police at around 10 a.m. April 12 to report Thorne had walked away from her care home on Stonehaven Place, without a word.

“Friends and family have not heard from her. A thorough search of locations where Ms. Thorne is believed to frequent has not turned up any clues as to her whereabouts,” Hobday’s release says.

Thorne suffers from conditions requiring medication.

She does not have her medication with her. Thorne is described as a 51-year-old, balding First Nations woman, standing fi ve-foot one, weighing 98 pounds, with brown eyes.

Contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522.


Duncan voters will be asked during this fall ‘s vote if they favour amalgama-tion with North Co-wichan.

That question was recom-mended by Duncan’s commit-tee of the whole after the city’s joint meeting with North Co-wichan councillors Monday, Mayor Phil Kent said.

In respect for the city, North Cowichan councillors decided last week against putting the amalgamation question on its Nov. 15 civic-election ballot until discussing the idea with their Duncan colleagues.

Now, with Duncan’s blessing, it seems likely they will endorse a similar question for North Cowichan voters.

Kent said the question’s exact wording will be penned by staff of both municipali-ties, then go to their respective councils for debate in the com-ing weeks.

“I hope it’s the same wording on both ballots,” he said.

The non-binding polls would simply gauge public appetite for melding the two munici-palities.

If supported, Duncan and North Cowichan would do studies and public-opinion sessions toward a referendum about amalgamation. The marriage could potentially end duplication of services and unnecessary taxes, usher ef� ciencies, and offer other bene� ts.

Jennifer Woike, the North Co-wichan councillor who initially

brought the idea forward, said she will keep pushing for plenty of public input.

“I’d like to see us hold some town hall meetings to explain what amalga-mation could look like.”

North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefe-bure explained he helped nix Woike’s motion out of respect for council’s fresh protocol agreement with the city concerning issues of mutual interest.

He described how local burgs have unique identities — such as Crofton, Chemainus, and Maple Bay — that

must be respected under amalgamation.

“North Cowichan accom-modates several different identities now, and that has its challenges.”

He cited Chemainiacs’ protests about funding the new $20-million Aquatic Centre.

Costs remain cloudy about rewriting bylaws, redrawing maps, and tallying staff-

ing needs, he explained, noting B.C. grants are available to study amalga-

mation.“It would be quite an

extensive study to determine those costs, but you can look at that down the road if people are interested.

“There are lots of ques-tions to be answered,” he said. “It’s not a black-and-white call that you’d save money.”

But it’s worth looking at the optics of Duncan

rejoining North Cowichan, after the city separated in 1912, Lefebure signalled.

“Duncan would have its own iden-tity governed by mayor and council of North Cowichan.”

If the study and the voters endorse amalgamation, 2018 would be the earliest amalgamation could happen, he noted.

Duncan set to pop the amalgamation question on voters during fall electionNon-binding: North Cowichan likely to do the same now that their neighbours are on board

Jon Lefebure: no guaranteed savings

Phil Kent: hopes for same wording

Speed will be curbed on the Malahat’s deadly NASCAR Corner through a $8.3 million concrete-barrier project starting next month.

“An $8.3-million contract has been awarded to Dawson Construction Ltd. to carry out the

next round of safety improvements,” the transportation ministry announced Thursday.

“This includes widening the highway, and installing 2.3 kilometres of median barrier, from Shawnigan Lake Road north to the Malahat Summit. This will improve safety in an area known to locals as NASCAR Corner.”

Work will also see a one-kilometre, southbound passing-lane extension, plus improvements to the Whit-taker Road and Holker Place intersections, the ministry says. Work is expected to begin in May, and finish in spring. When this section is done, more than half of the Malahat will be protected with median barrier.

Including this project, taxpayers have spent more than $33 million to improve the Malahat since 2001, notes the ministry. These improvements were identified in the 2012 Malahat Corridor study, and were also identified as a priority by the Malahat Advisory Group, which includes residents, commuters, first responders and

safety advocates, the media release states.Future Malahat improvements will be mulled during

development of the Vancouver Island Transportation Plan, exploring ways to improve the safe, reliable move-ment of goods and people by land, rail, air and sea. Plan consultation was expected to start in the coming months.

Robert DouglasNews Leader Pictorial

Built almost 40 years ago, the Co-wichan Community Centre (now known as the Island Savings Cen-tre) provides Cowichan residents with a swimming pool, hockey

arena, gymnasium, library, art gallery, and a performing arts theatre.

Local of� cials anticipate the facility will require signi� cant renovations or replace-ment within the next decade-and-a-half, and the Cowichan Valley Regional District has already begun setting aside cash.

Replacing the Island Savings Centre will not come cheap, and could cost upwards of $60 million. It should come as no surprise some of our municipal politicians are already discussing a private-public partner-ship, or P3, as a cost-effective way to ease the tax burden on property owners.

But is a public-private partnership the right

approach? Do these models actually save us money in the long-term, or are they really geared toward enriching private interests on the public dime?

Public-private partnerships have been a popular model for big infrastructure projects since the 1990s, not just in Canada but right across the industrialized world.

P3s often involve contracting a private con-sortium to design, construct, operate, main-tain and � nance a major infrastructure proj-ect, such as a hospital or bridge. Contracts are often 20 or 30 years in length. Proponents of this model argue it transfers risk to the private sector, while providing lower-cost and higher-quality public infrastructure.

P3s may sound like a good idea, but there is growing evidence they may be far less ef-fective than is often assumed.

A recent University of Toronto study analyzed 28 such projects in Ontario worth more than $7 billion, and found costs were on average 16% higher than conventional

government contracts. Why?Because private companies

typically borrow at a higher interest rate than government, and often spend more on lawyers and consultants.

Other studies have similarly questioned the advantages of P3s.

Analysis done for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities found there is insuf� cient evidence to show P3s are more cost-effective or produce higher quality service than traditional contracting.

And research by two business professors from the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University on several P3s across Canada found governments often fail to transfer risk to the private sector, especially when construction costs are higher than anticipated and governments are forced to bail out the contractor.

Yet many political leaders at the local, pro-vincial and federal level continue to trumpet

P3s, perhaps because they keep big capital expenditures off the books and avoid the appearance of debt.

Either way, the public pays the full costs of building and operating these infrastructure projects. It’s just a matter of when.

If our elected of� cials are serious about pursuing a public-private partnership for the Island Savings Centre, let’s hope they take a close look at the evidence � rst. Because sav-ing a few bucks now may end up costing us a lot more in the long run.Rob Douglas is Constituency President of the Cowichan Valley NDP. He writes monthly for the Cowichan News Leader Pictorial and can be reached at [email protected]. The views expressed here do not necessarily represent those of the NDP.

No guarantee P3 community centre will save money

Aboriginal Festival of Film and Art is about to turn 10 years old.

That’s 10 years of providing a spotlight to many excellent fi lms that may have oth-erwise escaped attention due to their low-profi le. That’s an entire decade of teaching and inspiring others to follow their muse.

If the festival is something you have been vaguely aware of, but never checked out, what are you waiting for?

The good and the bad of this week in CowichanThe good and the bad of this week in CowichanThis we don’tWe are not trying to minimize the fact

that wolves can be dangerous animals. And we don’t blame any pet and live-

stock owner or parent of small children in the Mill Bay area for being concerned when one seemed to settle into the neighbourhood.

But we can’t be the only ones to question a decision to euthanize an animal that had hurt no one.

Was there no other way?Cowichan’s Aboriginal fi lm Festival turns 10 this year.

Treat derelict vessels like abandoned carsRusting hulks: Local authorities need to be em-powered to deal with the problem

Leave your car parked longer than the three-hour limit in downtown Duncan and you will be getting a friendly greeting from a ticket-toting commissionaire.

“Abandon” it on the side of the highway for even a short length of time and you will soon � nd yourself at

the impound lot, forking over a healthy wad of cash to get it back.Randomly drop anchor for your boat pretty much anywhere

along the Cowichan coastline and about the only way you won’t be able to reclaim it, any time you want, penalty-free, is if an act of God sends it to the sea � oor.

Derelict ships have been a longstand-ing plague on local waters for about as long as anyone can remember and it’s past time for that to change.

Now, as before, about the only thing standing in the way of that happening

is the will of the federal government.The reason Duncan can crack down on automobiles is because

the city has the legal authority to do so; same goes for the RCMP. The reason no one can do the same with boats is because there is nobody with similar powers governing our coast.

Environment Canada can act if there is a clear environmental hazard. The Coast Guard can act if there is a clear navigation hazard. Absent either, the community is powerless.

The obvious solution is to create a local coastal authority em-powered to create and enforce community standards the same way the City of Duncan enforces same within its boundaries.

But MP Jean Crowder says there seems to be movement from the federal government toward copying a system in place in Washington State. That system uses a fund built with boat registration fees to pay for derelict removal.

Sounds reasonable. Less talking, please, more doing.

We say:Federal gov-ernment sup-port overdue


Lights Out event a pointless distractionDear editor

Duncan’s self-righteous gesture of turning off a few lights for a trivial amount of time is nothing more than a distraction from real-life problems and solutions.

There is no evidence that would indicate climate change is the big-gest environmental threat to our planet. Although I searched, there wasn’t a single poll or survey to be found that would indicate climate change is the number one concern of Canadians. I did manage to � nd new surveys on the U.S.A. and Europe, and climate change isn’t even in the top ten list of concerns for those places, in fact a new Gallup poll from the U.S. lists climate change as 14th on a list of 16 concerns.

As a Canadian I’m not the least bit concerned about climate change, but, like most other Canadians I’m concerned about the economy, high taxes, unem-ployment, dishonest government, crime, pollution (real pollution) and things like that. I’m also concerned about the billions of dollars worldwide, being fun-neled down the climate change rat hole, while 1.3 billion people in developing countries live without electricity every day. Is this where we want to go? No thanks.

Issuing a press release such as this, is highly irresponsible, and calls into question the ability of Duncan council to make well-reasoned and informed decisions on behalf of our community.Mark WilliamsDuncan

Can this really be how democracy works?Dear editor

Regarding the Meadow Park sewer question. Let me get this right: if 70% of the residents sign the petition to defeat the proposal but their combined assessed value is only 49%, the proposal would still be carried through? I guess the bigger the wad, the bigger the bite. It’s a strange example of democracy.Dave ManhasVancouver

Leave Meadow Park aloneDear editor

It will be interesting to see what developments pop up if the Meadow Park sewer proposal goes through. The unprofessional way the city engineer and council, including the mayor, have dealt with this is a classic case of politi-cal bullying. One of their tactics was to use someone associated with VIHA to walk the neigh-bourhood and claim the dangers

to the lake a good quarter-mile away. Yet the houses closest to the lake are � ne with septic. Makes you wonder why should these people pay for problems they don’t have. Bills of $12,000 to $18,000 is another reason to leave this alone until it is wanted by a majority.Bruce McGeachyCowichan

Liberal agenda becomes clearer all the timeDear editor

The B.C. Liberals want to do away with the current recycling system and replace it with a com-mercial operation from Ontario, at a huge cost to local businesses and taxpayers. The B.C. Liberals allow a new owner of a seniors’ home to dismiss the employees (who, in a lot of cases, are the only ‘family’ that the residents know) so they can be replaced with cheaper, non-union, employ-ees. This after recently closing a VIHA facility and replacing it with this for-pro� t facility.

These are just a couple of

examples recently of basic Liberal Party doctrine. If a choice has to be made between doing something for the pro� t of the shareholders, or doing it for the good of the stakeholders, pro� t comes � rst every time — even if the pro� t is going out of province. If union members can be harmed with the decision, so much the better.

We will be seeing this again soon, when they let the contracts for construction of new ferries.Pat WardellDuncan

MMBC program very fl awedDear editor

The aim of the new MMBC program is to redirect the cost of

collection, handling and market-ing of recycled materials called packaging and printed paper from local government and “resi-dents” to “industry.” It is hard to believe the outcome will be that the cost will be shifted away from residents or that a cost reduction may occur as a result.

The B.C. Printing & Imaging Association industry learned the rates to be charged to industry in B.C. are signi� cantly higher than Alberta and Manitoba, provinces with similar programs. In fact, the rates were up to 4,762% higher and no less than 211% higher depending on the product.

Ironically, government will also be charged these fees; which ap-pears to be opposite of the aim of removing costs to government. Business will have to pass these increased costs to the end con-sumer a.k.a. residents. The costs will not be diverted from either government or the end consumer.

Interestingly, the MMBC study declined to estimate if the new program would end up costing the end consumer more or less than the current system. Their study states: “Unlike other Canadian jurisdictions, the B.C. PPP program will be designed to achieve the objectives set out in the Recycling Regulation, rather than as a mechanism for munici-pal funding.”

I am completely in favour of a comprehensive recycling program and diversion from the typical waste stream. Unfortunately, this program needs more thoughtful input than it appears to have had to date and the end objective of removing costs from residents is exceptionally � awed.Peter MorrisMill Bay

By the way, did you hear:

• At least there was a big win-ner off the ice — and a Duncan resident, at that — since the Vancouver Canucks aren’t winning

very often on the ice. Al Jane received a jackpot of $30,670 at the Canucks’ National Hockey League game against the Anaheim Ducks in Vancouver Saturday, March 29. Son Jackson Jane accompanied him to the game and had a good idea what his dad could do with the money. “I’m sure my mom will help him spend it,’’ he laughed.

• Thanks to Cowichan Search and Rescue vice-president Mitch Wright for letting us know the organization recently presented awards to: Martin Williams, receiving the Outstanding Contribution of the Year (a.k.a. Member of the Year) honour for his immeasurable effort to help the organization both operationally and administratively; Arin Reim, receiving the Little Nellie Award for her quiet consistency and dependability in all aspects of the group; and John Bocstrom, who left the group after 18 years of membership, receiving the Life-time Achievement Award for his dedication, determination and bottomless cheer during his time with Cowichan SAR. Look for CSAR informational displays at a number of locations

around the valley on weekends throughout April and May.

• Terry Landry of the Malahat Legion says local naval cadets are off to Europe in June for memorial services at Vimy, Menin Gate, Tyne Cott, Beny-sur-Mer and Juno to commemo-rate the 70th Anniversary of D-Day. If you have a loved one that is buried at any of these cemeteries and you would like a wreath lain, email Terry at [email protected]. The cadets would be pleased to lay one on your behalf.

• Chemainus Harvest House Food Bank is looking for a volunteer treasurer. Please con-tact Sylvia Massey at 250-246-4816 if you are interested.

• Amusé On The Vineyard and the Genoa Bay Café are among more than 75 Vancouver Island restaurants taking part in Dining Out For Life, an annual fundraiser that supports island programs and services for people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. On April 24 participating restaurants will donate 25% of food sales to AIDS Vancouver Island.

At least once everyone should: fi sh in the ocean and the Co-wichan River

Most people don’t know I: am a potter and a painter

Proudest or happiest moment: birth of my two sons

Biggest fear: failing in our business venture

If I was appointed king of the valley I would: make Vancouver Island a separate province, like P.E.I.

Before I die: I want to go back to those places in Europe I visited many years ago with my wife

Words I live by: do your best

Peter W. Rusland

People like Cathie Mc-Cahon are the reason valley residents con-tinue to � ock to the MS Walk, raising more than

$1 million in 14 years.The latest venture Sunday at

the Cowichan Sportsplex padded the coffers by $117,000 through the efforts of 176 walkers on 29 teams doing either three, � ve or 10 kilometres for the cause.

“It was a great event,’’ said Vanessa Martin, the corporate and community development co-ordinator for the Cowichan of� ce of the MS Society. “Lots of people came out to support it.

“Fifty per cent of the funds raised go to multiple sclerosis research and the other 50% to our of� ce for local support programs,’’ Martin added. “It really does help the local people in our community. There’s a place for them to go.’’

McCahon and so many others are the face of the disease in the community. They’ve endured their own hardships and maintain hope for a cure from the constant fundraising that leads to more

advanced research.“This chronic, debilitating

and life-altering disease must be stopped soon,’’ said McCahon, 57, in advance of the walk. “It is our hope that through fundrais-ing events like this we can raise both awareness, and the money needed to � nd a cure.’’

McCahon was just 30 when she was diagnosed with MS.

“My legs collapsed as I was crossing a parking lot heading to my car,’’ she recalled. “This was the � rst of many strange symptoms I would experience. Within that � rst week, I was plagued by numbness in my arms, vision disturbances, ongoing weakness in my legs and odd nerve sensations.’’

McCahon was eventually forced to give up the things she loved. She had to stop playing softball within two years and leave her job as food and beverage co-ordina-tor at the Cowichan Community Centre within three.

“I could no longer ride bikes with my girls,’’ she added. “I had to use a cane when I walked because I staggered, people would point at me as if I were drunk. The next year I was using a walker and over the years I pro-

gressed into a manual chair. Now, I require an electric chair.’’

McCahon’s story is typical of so many affected by MS. Every walker/runner was there at the event in support of a family mem-ber or friend.

The courage being shown by people like McCahon to lead as much of a normal life as possible

is astounding.“I swim � ve or six times a week,

I travel with my family, socialize with my friends and fundraise for a cure for MS,’’ she said. “It just takes me longer and requires some adjustments as well as patience.

“I must say, though, my pa-tience is wearing thin. It is time to

� nd a cure.’’According to Martin, fund-

raising efforts here are certainly helping the cause.

“It’s a great community, really generous community,’’ she said. “Everyone’s been great.’’

The MS Walk is held in more than 160 communities across Canada.

One in a million: Cowichan Valley has surpassed $1 million in 14 years of fundraising

How healthy is Cowichan?

Our Cowichan Communities Health Network’s hoping to � nd out with a survey available online until April 25.

“The Community Health Pro� le will prove to be a powerful resource to educate and encourage each and every one of us to do our part to improve our health,” said Our Cowichan co-chairper-son Jennifer Jones.

“We are con� dent this pro� le will prove to be a valuable tool to a host of individuals and agencies throughout the region striving to improve the health and well-being of our citizens and our communities,” added co-chair Rob Hutchins.

According to organizers, people are looking for more than just good health care services.

“They also need adequate income, employment, education, social connections and healthy places to live,” states an Our Cowichan press release. “These factors, and others, called the determinants of health interact and affect our health and well-being.

“By considering the whole picture and working together, all citizens of the Cowichan communities can enjoy better health.”

The geographic area of people invited to take part includes anyone living in the Cowichan region stretch-ing from Valdes Island in the east to the mouth of the Nitinat in the west, and from the Malahat in the south to North Oyster in the north.

“There are four municipalities, nine electoral areas, nine First Nations and Métis, local and regional gov-ernment organizations with a population of approxi-

mately 81,000 people,” Our Cowichan’s website states.In addition to the survey, the project includes com-

piling and analyzing information from Stats Canada, local health areas, Early Development Instrument, School Districts, CVRD, Social Planning Cowichan and a number of local organizations as well as com-munity consultations and interviews.

All data collected from the survey will remain anonymous, therefore participants have been asked not to put their name or any other personal identi� ca-tion on the survey.

Participants under age 18 must check with parents or guardians before completing the survey.

Recycling is being up-cycled in south Cowichan this April in a pair of local events.

April 19 marks the debut of ‘Re-turn It’ at the Valleyview Centre, a South Cowichan Community Policing-sponsored monthly op-portunity for south-end residents to recycle their bottles without driving north of Duncan..

SCCP program co-ordinator Ali-son Philp said the group will host a ‘Return It’ collection on the third

Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Valleyview’s recy-cling area at the north end of the Country Grocer parking lot on the third Saturday of every month.

“We will be set up to receive and sort your returnable bottles, cans and other drink containers (except milk products) and will truck these in to the depot and receive money for our fundraising,” Philp said.

“It is our hope that we will be successful enough to also accept applications from eligible South Cowichan clubs, schools or groups to support their fundraising efforts for special events.”

Meanwhile, Return It and Used-

Cowichan are joining forces for another south-end recycling event April 26 and 27.

They will host a free commu-nity recycling drive at the Kerry Park Recreation Centre collecting power tools, electronics, small ap-pliances, light bulbs, batteries, and similar items.

“This time of year many people have spring cleaning on their minds so we wanted to help em-brace that idea and provide com-munities with a quick one-stop recycling event to help responsibly dispose of their recyclable prod-ucts,” Island Return It marketing manager Sophy Roberge said

Opportunities to link art forms are endless, exciting and challenging for Luke Carroll.

A great example that occurred recently includes the former Hollywood producer hooking up with a local felt artist to create characters in a kids show

he’s pitching to a Vancouver studio.“That’s a great example of a local artist who makes the most

amazingly beautiful stuff,” said Carroll, who lives in Cowichan Station, of Maple Bay artist Nancy Wesley. “I asked Nancy to create two characters from felt, which she did and did such a beautiful job.”

A similar connection and opportunity may arise during the 10th Cowichan Aboriginal Festival of Film and Art, kicking off April 22.

Carroll is leading a Animation Pitching Workshop sponsored by Cowichan Economic Development and Film Cowichan dur-ing the festival April 25. And he’s hoping to make more local connections with art forms and animation.

“There are a lot of artists in the valley, but it’s a very small animation community,” Carroll said. “But that’s the point. We’re looking at what could something become in the world of animation. I’m not looking for an animator and something that’s already animated. We’re looking for a link between what they do and the world of animation.”

Cowichan artists are being challenged to take their concepts outside any preconceived box and register for a workshop that could expand their creative talents into animation.

The workshop will give 18 artists a 20-mnute chance to to present their art and pitch their work and ideas. Those selected will work with Carroll and Film Cowichan over the year to develop their concept and characters into animated products.

Better yet, these projects will be taken to North American broadcasters for production funding.

“This is really an important workshop for local artisans, if they think their art could have some connection, or even if they don’t know what that connection is at all,” Carroll said.

Wesley didn’t imagine her soft and fuzzy creations would transpire into characters on TV.

“It’s so amazing to me, that one day I might get to see my dolls as characters on a kid’s show,” she said.

Carroll came across Wesley’s felt nature table at the entrance of Sunrise Waldorf school.

“In Luke’s head he had all the dialogue already � owing. He wanted (the characters) to look soft, natural, organic...with that

felt look, and so I was hired as a doll maker. Normally an artist does a sketch, sends it to the modellers who then send it to the animators,” she explained. “We skipped over the sketching part, and he described the characters and I created the dolls, and now they’ve been sent to the animators.”

Wesley is also a photographer and graphic designer, but felt work has recently become her top passion.

“I use the same wool the Cowichan knitters use, from New Zealand and I dye it myself,” she said.

Carroll’s animation workshop takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, April 25 at the Island Savings Centre Green Room.

Register online at aff.cowichan.net or by calling 250-746-7930.

Aboriginal Film Festival: Workshop seeks to intro-duce conventional fi ne artists to the medium of animation

Film festival aims to animate the artsBIG EVENT

Wood and fabric artists Imagining in DuncanMention fi ne art and mediums like painting

and sculpture come to mind.Imagine That! is offering something different

this month. Fabric art by Sandra Holmes,left, and wood wall art by Todd McAneeley take centre stage at the downtown Duncan artisans co-op throughout April.

Holmes is a self-taught seamstress and

designer who started by sewing fashions for herself, outfits for her children, and suits for her husband, then moved into home décor with pillows, table runners and wall hangings.

McAneeley, meanwhile, started a custom furniture business, designing and building everything from bedroom suites to bookcases,

cabinets and conference tables, before switch-ing to wood art created using salvaged wood from trees that have fallen in a wind storm or are removed for some other reason.

Their displays run until April 26 at 251 Craig Street. Store hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 250-748-6776 for information.

Plenty to see and do as AFF turns 10As usual this year’s Cowichan Aboriginal Festival of Film and Art’s roster is

packed.Kicking it all off is a Coast Salish welcome dinner on April 22 at the Quwutsun

Cultural Centre as well as a State of the Film Industry in B.C. workshop by Gordon Hardwick from Creative B.C.

On Wednesday, the Gallery of Artists Reception happens from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Cowichan Theatre lobby with work from Lynn Hemry, Charlene George, Darrell Charles, Joe Circle, Barbara Sobon, Herb Rice, the Hakuna Matada Kenyan collective, Joel Good, and Melanie Circle. The reception is open to the public and entry is by donation. The art, as part of a show called Four Directions has been up in the theatre lobby since April 1.

The opening ceremonies follows the reception in the theatre at 7 p.m., and includes a special performance of song and dance from artists representing the four directions including Darcy McMurray and screening of Dana Claxton’s He Who Dreams. Tickets are $15 and available at the door or at Cowichan Ticket Centre at 250-748-7529.

The festival’s featured fi lms include:Sacred Lands: Pro� t & Loss by Toby McLeod and Oil Sands Karaoke from

director Charles Wilkinson playing on Tuesday.Cherri Low Horn’s It Was a Woman will be screened on Thursday and

Other festival fi xtures include Friday’s Youth Films and Youth Awards Night with emcees Nathaniel Arcand and Dakota House. And two workshops also take place Saturday at the Quw’utsun’ Cultural Centre.

The fi rst is centred on the fi lm Heliset Hale: Awaken Life Within You, which was based on a marathon run from Port Hardy to Victoria in the spring of 2013 to create awareness of the impact of suicide on the First Nations communities.

A fi lm documenting the journey will be shown and runner Kelly Paul and members of their team will be on hand after to talk about their experience.

Later on in the afternoon, House leads a workshop based on engaging the audience in recognizing their own gifts and fi nding their own voices.

Both workshops are entry by donation.For more information about the festival’s events, visit aff.cowichan.net.

Empire of Dirt, a tale of three generations of Aboriginal women caps next week’s Aboriginal Film Festival’s list of fi lms.

DOIDGE (nee Gourlay), LaurelJuly 5, 1948 - April 8, 2014

Cherished and beloved wife and soulmate of Don, much loved mother and friend to Heather (Nav Sidhu) and Meghan (Michael Horrocks), devoted sister to Wayne and Janice (David Moore), and dear friend to many, in particular Kevin and Rose McCullough. Laurel was predeceased by her parents, Norman and Monica Gourlay.Laurel will be fondly remembered and sorely missed by all who got the chance to know her, especially her friends in Williams Lake and Duncan, BC. Her kindness and friendly personality made her a respected role model to all who met her, and she could light up a room with her easy laugh and smile. She had the innate ability to make people feel welcome, appreciated, and comfortable.Her lapcat Dusti will miss her gentle pets and leftover cereal milk, her walking group will miss her silly jokes and funny stories, and her choir will miss her dedicated alto voice.Laurel was a beautiful, gentle woman who always made sure that those she loved knew it. She welcomed newcomers into her life, and offered herself as a comforting friend to those in need of her unique compassion. She followed in her father’s footsteps of being fair and equal to all, and putting her family first. She made the best of every situation, striving to “think good thoughts” and live in the present.Laurel travelled the world in her youth, soaking in all the culture, language, and experiences she could. She carried this love of travel well into adulthood, cheerfully assisting Don in his field work all over BC for his work with Federal Forestry (that is, when she wasn’t being swarmed by mosquitos, wasps, or bears). She enjoyed a variety of adventurous road trips in Canada and the States, sunbathing in Mexico and Hawaii, and skiing, albeit cautiously, the slopes of many of BC’s finest hills. One of her favourite places to travel to was the Cabin at the Bay, where she welcomed family and friends from near and far to stop in and watch the world go by with a pair of trusty binoculars and a glass of Chardonnay.Many will remember Laurel for her love of living and loving. She will be remembered when a lime wedge is dropped into a Mexican beer on a sunny patio, when a hot ice cream scoop carves out the perfect serving of “special-not-vanilla” ice cream, when the aroma of a fresh apple pie wafts through the air, when basketball playoffs begin each June, when gardens get lovingly tended to, when trains go by, when wooden oars slice through crisp blue water, when lilacs bloom, and on “steak and champagne night”, the 22nd of every month, her monthly wedding anniversary with Don since May 22, 1976.Laurel’s family extends many thanks to those who supported them through her illness, and special gratitude must be extended to Cheryl Heath for her gracious, selfless compassion, as well as to the care aides, nurses, volunteers, and staff at Waldon House, Sunridge Place, and Gorge Road Hospital for their genuine care and respect for Laurel.Laurel was taken too soon; she had so much more to give. In lieu of flowers, donations to fund critical research for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease would be greatly appreciated by Laurel’s family.Please join us on Saturday, April 26 at 1pm for a service held at Duncan United, Laurel’s church since childhood, followed by a reception with tea and light snacks at Heritage Hall next door. Address: 246 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC. Condolences may be offered online at www.sandsduncan.ca

A life well lived

POTTS, Francis (Frank)Thursday April 10, 2014

A dedicated family man, friend and supporter of his community, Francis Potts lived the majority of his 96 years in Duncan, where he raised a family of five, made a group of lasting friends and made a difference to those around him.

He was born at King’s Daughters Hospital in Duncan April 10, 1918, attended school here and worked at Paldi until the outbreak of the Second World War. After serving in the Canadian Army, he

worked on the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railroad as a fireman, at the Chemainus mill, and later as a glazier at Dobson’s Glass, where he was well known by many friends and acquaintances.

He married Thelma Duggan in 1939 and went on to raise Allan, Blanche, Don and Virginia, joined later by Susan. A total of 12 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren were to follow over the years.

For many years, Frank and Thelma were foster parents, providing a secure and loving home for children in need. Frank was a firm supporter of the Duncan United Church, which he attended for most of his adult life. He was also a long-term member of the Independent Order of Foresters, and he volunteered regularly forhumanitarian and social projects. He loved to sing, and spent many years in the Duncan United choir, in addition to performing in numerous plays and musical productions over the years.

Frank was well known as a volunteer at the Cowichan Valley Seniors Centre, where he volunteered to drive “the old folks” to appointments for many years before finally handing over his keys in his late 80s. He was an avid gardener who continued to grow in his back yard and at a plot at the nearby Presbyterian church until last year… often giving away more vegetables than he kept himself.

He will be missed by his Deep Bay fishing buddies, a group with whom he angled for decades. He stayed active five-pin bowling, a pastime he continued into his 90s. As with all his hobbies and undertakings, his sense of humour, fair play and his innate personal dignity made him a popular friend and partner.

After this long and blessed life, Frank passed away peacefully on his 96th birthday surrounded by family at the Duncan Regional Hospital. He was predeceased by his wife, Thelma, daughter, Blanche and son, Allan.

A memorial is planned for 1 p.m., May 24 at the Duncan United Church, with reception to follow in Heritage Hall. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Duncan United Church will be gratefully accepted.

GARSIDE, Irene MaryJune 22, 1927 -April 10, 2014

Peacefully, on April 10 2014 Irene decided it was time to say “Adios”.

In 1996 Irene was predeceased by her husband of 50 years, Colin Garside. Irene is survived by her seven children, Derek (Marilyn), Coleen (Ron), Linda (Rod), Lorna (Frank), Alan (Lorna), Audry and Dian (Vern). Irene also leaves two sisters, Dorothy and Yvonne. Irene was the matriarch of a large clan that included 29 grandchildren and 35 great grandchildren.

Mom was a happy, positive and generous lady who was lovingly called “Snowball” by her children and “GG” and “Grandma Strawberry” by her grandchildren. Mom worked for the Cowichan District Hospital for 25 years and in the past 18 years was an active member of the OAP.

Irene enjoyed the Casino, bowling, Sudoku, knitting, crochet, the Senior Games (medal category) but most of all Irene enjoyed being a mother to her children. Mom was a fantastic parent. A more dedicated, loving and proud mother would be hard to find.

The family would like to acknowledge and thank the extraordinary and compassionate nursing staff on 2nd East as well as Dr. Terlien. They all took care of our mom as though she was their own mother.

Irene will be missed by all who had the pleasure and good fortune of knowing her. In lieu of flowers, for those who would like to make a donation in her memory, the family would appreciate support to the Salvation Army or the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation.

A funeral service for Irene will be held at First Memorial, 375 Brae Rd at 1:00 pm on Saturday, April 19th, 2014.

MICHIELI, NancyJan 19, 1921 to Apr 9, 2014

After a short stay in Cowichan District Hospital, Nancy passed peacefully with family by her side. Predeceased by her three siblings and husband Lindo. Survived by her loving family of five children, 10 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren. Nancy enjoyed a full life and thanks to the selfless care of Rita, Dennis and Crestina, she was able to fulfill her greatest wish and live at home to the very end. Born in Port Coquitlam BC,

relocated to the Kootenays, then to Port Alice where all 5 of her children were born. Her greatest legacy was Family and Home. Retirement brought Nancy and Lindo to Duncan where they would spend the rest of their lives. We will miss her dearly but know she is in the hands of God and reunited with Lindo. A special thanks to the staff at Duncan Hospital for the extraordinary and compassionate care. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations to Heart and Stroke Foundation appreciated. A celebration of Nancy’s life will be held at Sands Funeral Chapel, 187 Trunk Road, in Duncan on Thursday April 17th 2014 at 12pm.Condolences may be offered online at www.sandsduncan.ca.

Brent Classen



Members of the Shawnigan Lake School boys’ First XV rugby team depart for Japan

in a week, ready for more new challenges and experiences.

The five-time defending provin-cial AAA high school champs put one big notch in their belt before the trip by beating arch-rival St. George’s of Vancouver 10-8 in a rainy April 5 game at Shawnigan dominated by forward play.

“It was obviously a very close game,’’ said Shawnigan coach Tim Murdy. “They’re a very good team and so are we. I’m pretty confident we’re going to see each other later on in the playoffs.’’

Connor O’Neill kicked the de-cisive conversion on Shawnigan’s lone try and also added a penalty. St. George’s replied with a try and penalty.

Games against Vanier and Brent-wood College followed, resulting in convincing Shawnigan wins.

“Whenever we play Brentwood, it’s always a feisty affair,’’ said Murdy. “They’re great rivals.’’

Shawnigan also won the Satur-day girls, Second XV and Colt games over Brentwood.

Shawnigan’s First XV battles Canberra Grammar School of Australia Thursday at 4:40 p.m. following a Second XV game.


Brentwood College and Cowichan Secondary grabbed

the final two qualify-ing spots in the Island sevens boys’ high school rugby playoffs Sunday at UVic.

Brentwood finished third and Cowichan fourth behind cham-pion Oak Bay and runner-up Glenlyon Norfolk. All four teams will now take part in the B.C. sevens tournament at UBC April 26 and 27.

Cowichan suffered a 49-0 defeat against Oak Bay in its opening game but bounced back for a 19-12 victory over Vanier behind tries by Amish Dobson, Ethan Burke and Seth Davis and two conver-sions from Kyle Joe.

Cowichan went on to blank Mount Douglas 34-0, as Davis, Burke, Jared Champoux, Josh Jones, Kaine Dreaver and Eddy Walt scored tries. Joe added two more conversions.

The battle for third and fourth place between the local teams ended in a 21-12 victory for Brentwood over Cowichan.

The T-Birds were leading Brentwood at halftime. However, “as fatigue set

in, Cowichan began committing too many players to the tackle and Brentwood were able to expose the gaps,’’ noted Cowichan coach Ron Glass.

Dreaver and Dobson accounted for Co-wichan’s tries. Davis was named to the tourna-ment all-star team.

Cowichan played in Scrumfest at Claremont Friday and Saturday, going 3-1.

Joseph Pimenta, Joe and Dreaver were the try-scorers, as Co-wichan shut out Stelly’s 15-0.

Walt, Burke and Dreaver had tries and Joe kicked a conversion, as Cowichan knocked

off Spectrum 17-7.A 12-0 victory over G.W. Graham

of Chilliwack followed. Walt and Ben Iwasyk scored tries and Joe had a conversion.

A great tournament characterized by solid defence ended with a 24-10 loss to Somerset, Australia. Cowichan tries came from Burke and Iwasyk.

Burke was named a tournament all-star.

Glass praised coach Craig Lauridsen for the terrific job he did getting the forwards to improve their scrummaging and lineouts.

Youth Athleteof the Week

Shiming HuangStaying sharp in fencing is a constant challenge, but Cowichan Bay’s Shiming Huang has developed a winning formula. Huang, 16, a Grade 10 student at Island Oak High School in Duncan who grew up in the U.S. and moved here from China in 2010, continues to progress in the sport since joining the Salle Le Fleche fencing club. “He fences foil and occasionally he’ll fence a little bit of sabre as well so he’s quite well-versed in all the weapons and really enjoys fencing,’’ said coach Georgia Newsome. “I still do it more as a hobby,’’ said Huang. “But joining competitions makes it much different than how I used to fence when I started up. Competitions improve my skills a lot.’’ He’s done especially well during recent competitions on the Lower Mainland. “In those competitions I’m looking at the videos of them,’’ said Huang. “I can see the things I need to improve in my form and techniques to see what works and what doesn’t work.’’ Timing is everything in fencing, he added, plus “your ability to observe what your opponent is doing, also your agility — your ability to change when there is something different happening.’’

Tight fight for rivals

The focus has clearly changed for the Cowichan T-Bird girls in defence of their provincial AAA rugby

championship.They’d never want to write off

long-time powerhouse Carson Graham, but after routing the team it took the title away from last year 48-7 at Cowichan Secondary School Friday, the pecking order is undergoing a significant change.

“We all went into it thinking it was going to be really close,’’ said

Cowichan co-captain Adrienne Saari. “It was a big surprise.’’

“Carson is in a rebuilding year but it is still the Carson program and a traditional rival,’’ noted Cowichan coach Brad Skene.

Cowichan had fantastic prepara-tion and attitude for the game and romped into a 41-0 halftime lead.

“The players are showing an un-derstanding of the game plan that we are trying to develop and I was impressed with how well our team leaders organized our offense and defence,’’ Skene indicated.

Tries came from eight different players: Saari, Mariah Fontana, Darien Hobday, Sara Lowes, Hae-

ley Lowe, Jessica Pederson, Emily Lindsay and Hannah Morten. Fontana also kicked four conver-sions.

Vanier and Robert Bateman are more on par with Cowichan this season than Carson.

Cowichan won a recent senior exhibition over Vanier 29-7. But Skene called it a bit of a hollow victory since Vanier was without some key players who were away on a school trip.

Cowichan lost a battle with Bate-man a couple of days later 34-26 despite two tries by Morten and one apiece for Lowe and Meana Manhas.


The drama of the Jackson Cup final didn’t carry over into the

Provincial Cup soccer competition for Co-wichan LMG Pringle.

There was little of the same excitement gener-ated during Cowichan’s heartbreaking 1-0 overtime loss to the Saa-nich Fusion two weeks earlier in Victoria when Cowichan ventured to Pitt Meadows Saturday.

An early noon start didn’t help Cowichan in its travel plans to get to the game on time but the team’s troubles actually began before that.

“On Thursday night, Bob (Stankov) blew his knee out so we’re up against it a little bit,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin. “We’re scram-bling around to get a goalie.’’

But there was no replacement available and regular goalie Joel Wilson still wasn’t ready to return from concussion symptoms suffered in a November game.

So it was up to player Ben Robson to take on the job. He’d never played goal before but did his best and Cowichan went down to a 3-0 defeat against the West Coast Selects.

It was a tough way for Cowichan to finish the season. High expectations are now just part of the territory for the team.

“To get to that next level, four or five changes need to be made,’’ said Martin.

But the team will remain a strong contender, with the likes of Jesse Winter, Brad Thorne, Stu Barker, Dan Citra, Connor Crichton, Tyler Hughes, Brad Archibald and Steve Scott in the core group.


Shawnigan Lake School girls stole the limelight normally reserved for Cowichan Secondary or Vanier in winning the Is-

land high school girls’ rugby sevens qualifier.

Led by national women’s sevens development player Hannah Darling, who scored two tries and dished out some punishing hits, Shawnigan defeated Vanier 26-5 in Sunday’s final at Cowichan Second-ary School.

“We knew we were going to have lots of competition,’’ said Shawni-gan coach Tanja Ness. “The girls played awesome.’’

Michelle Evans and Kira-Marie Wimbert also played well for Shawnigan and each scored a try.

“Having Hannah Darling in their

lineup had a huge impact on their team,’’ noted Vanier coach Dwayne Mills. “Hannah just returned from playing for the Rugby Canada national senior women’s team on the IRB circuit in China so she is coming from playing rugby at the highest level in the world to playing against our high school kids as young as 15 years old.’’

Despite that, Vanier countered with girls who had played in the Las Vegas sevens in January. But fatigue after a 17-0 semifinal win over Cowichan seemed to take a toll, Mills noted.

“We made a number of mental mistakes in the final that took us out of the game early.’’

Cowichan won its opener 31-7 over Stelly’s on two tries each by Emily Lindsay and Denise Roy and a single from Shania Pronk.

A 26-7 victory over shorthanded Brentwood followed on the

strength of two tries from Sara Lowes and one each by Darien Hobday and Brigitte Reid. But the team hit the skids against Vanier.

“Vanier was energized and had a lot of motivation,’’ noted Cowichan coach Brad Skene. “We couldn’t match their intensity and allowed three tries in the second half.’’

Teams will renew acquaintances in the provincials April 25 and 26.

Davison leaves golf opponents in the dust with back-to-back winsGot a sports story?email [email protected] 250-856-0045 Duncan’s Callum Davison, 13, shot

a final round 67 — five-under par — to win the MJT Kikkor Classic junior golf tournament at Northview Golf and Country Club April 5 and 6.

Davison had a one-under 71 in the pouring rain the first day on the Ridge course at Northview to sit tied

atop the leaderboard with three other players. He made a charge during improved conditions on the second day to finish at six-under for the tournament.

“It felt good to win and I shot a good round — my tournament best,’’ said Davison.

Meeting James Lepp, the star of the Golf Channel’s Big Break Green-brier and Kikkor Golf founder, was a big thrill for Davison.

Davison went on to also win the CJGA junior at Riverway in Burnaby. The win gives him a spot in the Cal-laway Junior Worlds at San Diego.
