Boosted water storage rules could save spawning salmon Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial

What a difference three weeks makes.

Twenty-two days of storing Co-wichan River water — under new provincial rules demanded by many residents — at Cowichan Lake’s

weir could save thousands of spawning salmon come fall, says Parker Jefferson of One Cowichan.

“Under the new rules we’ve been allowed to keep all the water we have, up to the top of the weir, until July 31 instead of July 9 as was the case in the past.

“We’ve been able to maintain the � ow in the river at the minimum required rate, and keep as much water as possible behind the weir,” he said.

Jefferson cheered the new rules that could provide water for salmon to swim upstream and spawn.

Last fall’s drought killed about 1,000 salmon.Others were trapped and trucked upstream, spark-

ing heated meetings with the province about new storage rules — outside mandatory water-release rule-curve volumes in Crofton pulp mill’s two river permits.

“Last year at this time, we were being forced to dump water out of the lake to comply with the old operating rules,” says Jefferson.

“This was done despite the objections of many of our community leaders, Cowichan Tribes and the Cowichan Watershed Board.”

Not having to dump water this year, the lake level as of July 31 is about where it was last year despite no signi� cant rain for more than a month, he explained.

“Our current lake level is below the top of the weir and below the maximum levels allowed by the new operating rules,” he explains, “which means not only do we not have to release water we have stored, but we would be able to keep any water we should get if we do get a rare summer rain.”

Rodger Hunter of the Cowichan Watershed Board estimates there’s about nine days of river � ow stored above levels required by the old rules.

“This volume will very likely be of tremendous bene� t later in the summer as we are only now entering the traditional summer drought period, and not much rain is expected until September,” Jefferson said.

But local conservationists are eying new river realities as climate change spells summer droughts and other effects.

“It is clear increased summer storage in our lake is going to be key to preserving the health and viabil-ity of our watershed and our community.”

Jefferson dismissed arguments by a group of resi-dents protesting the storage boost.

“They’re appealing the decision to store more water and that’s their legal right.

“They say there’s no evidence we need to store more water. Their arguments are silly.”

Those objectors were unavailable by deadline.Meanwhile, the next major test comes Sept.15

when the old and new storage rules curves meet.“That’ll mean we have to be at the lake level as in

the old rule curve.“With not having to release any water stored, we

could store more.“If it does rain, we could keep that water until

Sept. 15. There’s no guarantee we won’t be in the same situation, but our odds are better,” Jefferson said.

“Every drop is money in the bank. The new rules are working.”

Six lake Cowichan Lake-area landowners have fi led Water Act appeals with B.C.’s environmental appeal board objecting to processes allowing new storage and release of Cowichan River water in the lake.

Appeals must be fi led with the EAB by Aug. 30.Michael Dix, E. Weir, Darcy Lubin, Catherine Willows

Woodrow, Greg Whynacht, and Ian Poyntz have fi led ap-peals so far.

Their concerns include: water storage is encroachment on their property rights; storage causes nuisance factors preventing property enjoyment; water storage constitutes trespassing on their private property; storage could cause more erosion of their property and affect septic systems, and lakeshore ecosystems; denies them of full use of their property; a lack of historical storage-volume data used in allowing boosted storage; a lack of respect for lakeside property owners’ rights; and ignoring of a Dec. 6, 1955 let-ter from (former) B.C. Forest Products guaranteeing con-sultation, remedying and compensation for any negative impacts storing water has on the lake’s waterfront lands.

Ashley DegraafNews Leader Pictorial

Several local youth partici-pants and leaders recently took a trip back in time to recreate the Latter-day Saints’ exodus from Illinois

across the American plains to Salt Lake Valley in Utah.

Although the ‘Pioneer Trek’ really only took place near Port Alberni, the walk itself was remarkably similar to the 1850s escape against religious persecution and journey to establish a wilderness community.

“Cart wheels rumble, the sun beats down and occasionally metal plates or cups clank and rattle as they fall onto the ground,” described a press release, noting participants dressed in 19th century garb. “Young mem-

bers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wipe sweat from their brows and fan their faces with wide-brimmed hats as a break is called.”

About 20 participants and five leader teens from Duncan took part in the trek, which occurs every four years, explained Carol Stiles.

“Youth members of the LDS Church aged 12-18 from six Van-couver Island wards (congregations) walked for 39.2 kilometres along logging roads and trails near Port Alberni pulling all their camping gear in two-wheeled handcarts,” explained a press release.

The group set off from near Browns Bay on Central Lake for a 12.2 km march on the first day on the Ash River Road before making camp the first night at the Ash River

gravel pit. On the second day the youths walked 15 km to the Beaver Creek area and made camp in the back acres of the Van Horne fami-ly’s farm. They stayed for two nights, spending the next day participating in traditional competitions like sack

races, stilt walking, caber tossing, hay bale stacking, two-handed saw-ing, and, of course, cart racing.

“A special part of the in-camp day involved a Pony Express delivery on horseback of letters to the youths from their real families. They then

spent some time reading the letters, writing in journals and reflecting quietly,” stated a press release. “The evening was spent at a hoedown involving traditional 19th Century style dances and singing.”

On Day 4, handcarts were packed and set off down the Log Train Trail for the last 12 km of the trek to the Mclean Saw Mill National Historic Site where participants climbed aboard the Alberni Pacific steam train for a well-deserved ride back into Port Alberni and their awaiting families.

“The trek sends the message to the youths that they are able to accomplish great things if they set their minds to it... The sacrifice the church’s pioneers made to establish their religion is also brought home to the youths in a tangible way.”

Don’t hold onto your horse.Organizers of the RCMP Musical Ride

coming to Cowichan Aug. 16 are encouraging folks to pick up tickets as the show’s almost sold out.

“The RCMP Musical Ride hasn’t been to the Cowichan Valley since 2009. If you missed it then, you’ve got a week to purchase your

tickets,” states a press release.“I’d recommend getting them sooner than

later,” warned ride host chairperson Carol-Ann Rolls. “We’ve sold tickets to people from Parksville to Victoria. I think we have the best venue to watch the ride, from close up and personal to the gently rolling hillside.”

The show takes place at Avalon Equestrian

Centre on Herd Road in Duncan.Gates open at 2 p.m. Food vendors and

community groups will be presenting activities before a police dog pre-show at 4 p.m. and then the musical ride at 5 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased through Co-wichan Ticket Centre, 2687 James Street, Duncan or by calling 250-748-7529.

Government watchdogs seem to be asleep, so regional officials recently nixed application approval for a Cobble Hill farmland reclamation project, Cowichan Bay’s director explained.

“There’s no ministry staff left to look after these things,” Lori Iannidinardo said of the board’s 8-1 rejection July 31 of Balme Ayr dairy farm’s proposed 15-year, phased removal some 3.2 million cubic metres of gravel — and its replacement with fill soil for grow-ing cattle feed.

Iannidinardo didn’t trust provincial inspectors would be available to ensure the fill isn’t toxic. “We’ve become a dumping ground.

“Reclamation of farmland only makes sense if we have government agencies with employees to monitor and enforce on projects like this.

“I’ve learned in the past few years this is very likely not going to happen.”

Residents near Balme Ayr’s proposed gravel project also opposed the plan, citing dust, noise, traffic and lowered property values.

Balme Ayr’s owners were unavailable for comment by press time.

Their farm’s application now heads to the Agricul-tural Land Commission for debate approval, with

CVRD’s recommendation that approval be denied.Balme Ayr — whose land straddles the Island High-

way near Valleyview Centre — would need a mines ministry permit, plus CVRD’s nod to clean and wash any gravel on site.

“If there’s any processing to be done on their prop-erty,” said CVRD planning-and-development boss Tom Anderson, “they’d need to go through a rezoning process, or require a temporary-use permit, and that would require public consultation.”

In rejecting Balme Ayr’s application, CVRD directors cited market place unknowns — plus related economic, social and environmental impacts — that don’t guaran-tee the farmland would be returned to production.

“There may be better, viable options such as vine-yards or other emerging opportunities, less affected by topography, that should be explored before such dras-tic alterations to the land is undertaken,” the CVRD’s denial decision states.

Still, Cobble Hill Director Gerry Giles believed the farm’s application had merit.

“It would have been done in five-acre blocks, not the whole property at once,” she said of the phased farmland fix.

“It’s an interesting application because planning staff reviewed it and recommended it be approved, with some conditions.”

Cobble Hill’s area planning committee did the same, Giles explained.

A proposed Shawnigan Basin Authority would cost Area B taxpayers $50,000 annually, but anchor a watershed master plan to guard their water supplies.

Director Bruce Fraser’s drinking-water protection drive surfaced as south-end and Victoria residents prepare for provincial approval of South Island Aggregates plan to dump five million tonnes of toxic soil into a quarry near the lake.

The authority aims to give Shawniganians a civic mechanism that can create a watershed master plan to identify, fund and implement watershed-security projects, coordinate efforts of government agencies with watershed responsibilities, assemble research and monitoring of basin data, and ensure citizens’ con-cerns are respected in all decisions, his email explains.

A new Cowichan Valley Regional District function, handing the Shawnigan Basin Society an ongoing funding base, must be community approved through an alternative approval process by November, to be active by the 2014 fiscal year.

That process was launched at the CVRD’s July board meeting.

Details will be explained during a Sept. 21 public meeting at Dwight International School.

The tax-levy proposal will be mulled through a series of fall public meetings and publications.

Need for a basin authority was obvious to Fraser.“Extensive impacts on quality and quantity of our

water supply can occur as a result of private land logging, gravel pits, contaminated soil dumping, back-country access, recreational pressures, aging

septic systems, interface wildfire risk to communities, invasive species and loss of biodiversity – all accentu-ated by climate change that’s altering the pattern of winter precipitation and summer drought.”

Those worries are tackled “piecemeal” by a host of government agencies with no means of coordination or capacity to deal with cumulative environmental impacts, he explained.

So the SBA would fuse three existing civic organiza-tions: the Shawnigan Watershed Roundtable engag-ing public and government agencies; the non-profit Shawnigan Basin Society to apply for, manage and account for funds raised to create the master plan, implement projects, coordinate watershed initiatives and engage the public; and the Ecological Design Panel of land and resource experts giving scientific and technical advice to the roundtable, society, and government.

Involvement would also include the Malahat and Cowichan tribes, plus the Malahat and Cowichan Bay fire districts.

“The authority will also create a widely representa-tive group of Shawnigan and Koksilah citizens, gov-ernment and industry to steer the whole collaborative process,” says Fraser.

The SBA would span headwaters at the Elkington Forest to tidewater at Mill Bay and the upper reaches of the Koksilah watershed within Area B, “particu-larly that area with residential developments.”

Partners could include Shawnigan’s business and community associations, chamber of commerce, historical society, Inspire Arts organization, parks and recreation commissions, Hub Society, public and private schools, and social-service groups.

Shawnigan RCMP are on the hunt for a man who’s on the run with a stolen ATM machine.

RCMP are investigating a B&E that took place Mon-

day morning at 12:35 a.m. at the Fisher Road Cobble Hill Market store.

“...A lone male rammed the front doors of the local store twice, then turned his ve-hicle around and backed in,” Shawnigan RCMP Sgt. Rob Webb stated in a press release. “He was able to dislodge an

ATM machine located inside the store and take off east bound on Fisher Road.”

The owners of the store reside upstairs, and were awo-ken by the theft but did not interact with the suspect.

The culprit’s described as a slim, approximately six feet tall, Caucasian wearing a ball

cap and dark clothing.His getaway vehicle’s either

a pickup with a canopy or an SUV, possibly blue in colour.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Shawni-gan RCMP detachment at 250-743-5514 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-665-TIPS (8477).


Rowdyism in downtown’s popular Charles Hoey Park area won’t be tolerated, as seen by Friday’s arrest of a man disrupting park

entertainment.Police were called after the man

continued pestering organizers and distracting the crowd watching Duncan’s Got Talent.

RCMP quietly collared the offender and led him to a cruiser along Canada Avenue.

That scenario’s increasingly rare in the park, explained Mayor Phil Kent.

“Our commissionaires are there regularly.

“We can’t anticipate every event, but respond to them when they do happen.

“It’s an occasional occurrence, not a regular thing. Calls to the RCMP are down significantly,” he said, citing help from police bike patrols.

Hoey Park is peaceful, though some arrests happen every year when folks, some homeless or high, push the enve-lope and are arrested.

City council has tried various methods of keeping the peace around the train station, including piping in classical music to calm visitors.

A large hedge that potentially hid some shady activity between Canada and Duncan Street, was yanked by public works several years ago.

Also, the nearby liquor store at the Phoenix Station Motor Inn is now closed, and may move to a new location pending. Its absence may mean less disturbances.

Folks who see dangerous, disturbing or illegal activity around the train station can call the police at 25-748-5522 or 911.

Members of the Shawnigan Lake Triathlon race committee and South Cowichan

Rotary Club recently gathered at the new West Shawnigan Lake Provincial Park for a special pre-sentation and celebration.

Paul Regensburg, the Subaru Western Triathlon Series director, presented a cheque for $1,000 in athlete donations to the Rotary Club. A total of $2,500 was raised from the Shawnigan Triathlon athlete fundraising program to be used for local trail-building

projects.The Connector Trail at West

Shawnigan Park, the site of the presentation, was a project completed by the Rotary Club in conjunction with Cowichan Valley Regional District Parks and B.C. Parks just prior to the 2013 Shawnigan triathlon in May.

“On our May 4 trail-building day, we hadn’t even put our rakes down and we had our first trail customers — a bicycle riding friendly family of four from Victoria,’’ noted Alan Lolacher, president of the South Cowichan Rotary Club, in a press release.

“The triathletes loved the new trail during their race and were very appreciative.’’

“This is the first year we have im-plemented the athlete fundraising program and we are happy with the success in this first year,’’ added race director Sarah Malerby.

“It is very rewarding to build a connection between the triathletes and the local community with a fundraiser that leaves a legacy of trails for everyone to enjoy. I am already looking forward to build-ing on this fundraiser next year.

“Now that it is summertime, the Connector Trail is busy every day, providing a much-needed access for locals and visitors to the lakeshore.’’

Future trails are in the plan-ning stages for construction in the spring of 2014 and 2015.

The Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) is now in negotiations with TimberWest to complete the necessary legal work before construction can begin on the Youbou truck wash, says Youbou Director

Pat Weaver.“(TimberWest) promised me that the truck wash

could be up in running in six weeks, but obviously to protect the people of Area I and the CVRD, it has to go through all the legal parameters,” says Weaver. “I’m hoping it will be done by September because right now, we are living through the worst of it.”

The Youbou area has been struggling with dust and mud carried from the gravel road surrounding Lake Cowichan since the closure of the Youbou sawmill in 2000, but the issue has become much more severe dur-ing the past eight years, says Weaver.

The decision of contributing $5,000 from the Area I Nature and Habitat Fund to TimberWest’s $115,000 truck wash has not been popular with some Area I residents, but Weaver believes it’s the best way to cure the problem.

“I’ve talked to other area directors to get a little more insight on this, and they all told me that if someone offered up $5,000, and that’s all it would take to have a solution to the problem, they would have taken it,” says Weaver. “The issue will not completely go away with the truck wash; there are a lot of people that use the road, but hopefully this will get rid of the major issue.”

Those opposed to what they believe is inappropriate spending of the Nature and Habitat Funds money agree a truck wash is necessary for Area I but feel this is not the way to get it.

The great grand-daughter of City of Duncan founder, William Chalmers Duncan, will read

from her latest manifesto about food security Saturday.

Rhona McAdam’s scheduled to stop by Duncan’s Ten Old Books at the Duncan Garage at 1 p.m. Aug. 10.

“McAdam’s book Digging the City, an Urban Manifesto addresses the problems fac-ing food consumers in the 21st century, including deficiencies in Canada’s ability to feed the urban poor; our dependence on imported foods and central-ized food processing; and our detachment from our food sources,” states a press release.

“You don’t need to be a ‘Guer-rilla Gardener’ to enjoy reading Digging the City. The book is

appealing for its personal nar-rative, informative analysis, and for its contribution to the grow-ing literature on the sustainable food movement that seeks to change the way we eat,” boasted Susan Hawkins.

McAdam is a graduate of the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Italy established by Carlo Petrini, founder of the international Slow Food Movement. She’s also written numerous articles on food and agriculture and is currently studying the intricacies and challenges of good nutrition.

“From community gardens and small plot farms, to indi-vidual front and back yards, this book provides us with a glimpse into a movement that is chang-ing our world one bucket of compost, one handful of seeds, one garden at a time,” stated founder of Cultivate Canada and author of Fields of Plenty Michael Ableman.

Alexis YobbagyGreat granddaughter of City of Duncan founder, Rhona McAdam is scheduled to stop in town Saturday to read from her latest book on food security.

Fodor’s is the world’s go-to website for anything and everything travel.

And that same travel guide forum’s website

has chosen one of Cowichan’s B&B as its Top 7 Farm Stays Around the World.

“It would have been nice to have been picked among the best in Canada or even B.C, but in the world, it’s incredible,” said owner of Cobble Hill’s Damali Bed and Breakfast and Lavender Farm Alison Philp.

Damali’s been highlighted on the online travel mecca’s grouping of farm stays among England’s War-borne Farm, Hawaii’s Holualoa Inn, and Watkins Glen New York’s Farm Sanctuary.

And the Telegraph Road destina-tion’s been classified by Fodor as ‘Great for couples.’

“You’ll find—or rediscover—love among the lavender fields of this enchanting French-style farmhouse B&B in Cowichan Valley...” reads Fodor’s website. “Nearly a decade ago, the property was a run-down sheep farm; today, it encompasses fields with more than 25 varieties of lavender, a winery with wines featuring lavender as an ingredient, and an intimate B&B. Two guest

rooms are all about cozy comfort, with wool-filled duvets, infrared saunas, and views of the gardens.

“Savor a delicious breakfast of farm-fresh eggs, home-grown fruits and veggies, and freshly baked goods before a relaxing day of wine tasting or exploring the grounds, which also include a labyrinth in the lavender fields,” the website explains, also tipping folks to visit the farm through the summer as the lavender’s in full bloom.

Philp, part owner with Marsha and Dave Stanley, said she wasn’t in the know about Fodor’s designa-tion until someone from the U.S. contacted the B&B by email saying they had read about Damali in the travel site’s newsletter and were interested in buying their wine.

“I ‘Googled’ Fodor’s newsletter and there we were listed in the ‘7 Top Farm Stays in the World’. I

went to Fodor’s website and sure enough there on the home page was a picture of our B&B high-lighting us even further,” said Philp. “I was very excited and printed the article to show partners Marsha and Dave (Stanley).”

The gang at Damali is thrilled with this news and hopes it helps to elevate the agritourism potential of the Cowichan region.

“I don’t think there is any way of knowing for sure how we were chosen,” explained Philp. “Fodors haven’t contacted us directly and we don’t know if they will send us any kind of certificate or documen-tation of how they came to their decision.”

But in the meantime, they’re basking in the glory.

“How cool is that?” Philip wrote in an email to the News Leader Pictorial.

Andrew LeongMarsha Stanley of Damali Bed & Breakfast relaxes in the living room. Below, the outside of the residence proves inviting.

Maeve MaguireNews Leader Pictorial

Dear dog walkers, let me share a little story about our walk on the beach the other evening.

It was one of the � rst cool nights we’ve had since the beginning of July. Putting on pants and jackets felt as cozy as a security blanket. After issuing threats to the youngest that going into the water fully clothed would result in her immediate return to the house and straight to bed with no story, we set off with our new puppy for a lovely long slow walk in the fresh sea air.

And it was just that, until the youngest sat down to watch a � shing boat launch in the water. I noticed she seemed to be unusually focused on the rocks, but as she wasn’t eat-ing or throwing them I left her alone. When it came time for her to join the rest of us, I thought I heard her say something about poo. I ignored her because I wasn’t sure if

I’d heard her right, and I didn’t want what I wasn’t sure I’d heard to be true. “Mommy,” she said more clearly this time, “I have poo.”

She toddled over to me, her face scrunched in discomfort. “I have poo,” she said again pointing at me. Her lack of alarm was exactly the opposite of mine as she showed me the tip of her � nger, covered in brown muck—from someone else’s dog. Not that it would have been acceptable if it had been our dog’s dung, but there is something even less acceptable about it coming from some-one else’s pet.

If she had it on her � nger, she most cer-tainly had it elsewhere too. I searched along her arm and down her body and found it on her jacket, pants and — the source — the bottom of her shoes. Lucky kid: to get her clean I was going to let her frolic in the water after all. As I took off her shoe, she rested her mucky � nger on my shoulder to balance herself. Now we both had poo.

I understand how hateful it is having to scoop poop, especially a puppy who

hasn’t � gured out where and when to do the deed. In one day I picked up two in-house mistakes, one of which was perfectly placed atop the soft pink Cinderella slipper my eldest received from Santa Claus for Christmas three years prior. That same day I suffered a great shock when I looked over at the table and noticed a full blue poo bag next to my daugher’s plate of jam toast. She’d forgotten due to hunger to put the dog’s business in the garbage before she came in to eat.

It’s an ugly job but just because you’re out in the fresh sea air doesn’t mean it’s a free-for-all. Consider the impact not picking up after your dog has in public parks and on beaches: all those kids who build sand cas-tles and dig rivers in the pebbles with their bare hands, who then toddle off to eat the picnic their parents prepared on the grass. This is no place for your dog’s business.

I sometimes forget to bring bags with me too, which is why I’m grateful to local governments for providing dog-bag boxes

in public places. For those who complain about these boxes not being full or ubiq-uitous, ask why you take your dog for the walk in the � rst place: for exercise and so it can relieve itself. Not bringing your own bags on a walk is like leaving the house in the winter without a coat—and then blam-ing the municipality when you get cold. If you get stuck, ask another dog walker for a spare bag, or make the effort to go home, get a bag, and come back to clean up the mess.

Citizen, please don’t be a litter bug. No-body wants to have poo.Maeve Maguire is a technical writer who lives and works in Maple Bay and writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial. Email her at [email protected].

People need to take control of their dog’s business

The case forYoung athletes can never get enough

of their speciality sport.With competition so high in sports like

hockey, players can’t even take a break during the summer if they’re going to keep up and eventually have a chance at making it to the National Hockey League.

The more camps, the merrier, if an athlete ever hopes to make the pros or represent their country.

Seeing both sides of: year-round athlete trainingSeeing both sides of: year-round athlete trainingSeeing both sides of: year-round athlete trainingThe case againstWestern Hockey League coach

Brent Sutter recently came out against year-round hockey, claiming it stunts the development of players.

The Red Deer Rebels’ organization has changed the way it scouts players, looking for true athletes instead of those who focus on hockey most or all of the year.

Is this the wave of the future? Would athletes be better served getting away from their specialty sports for a while?Is year-round hockey burning out players? Would it be

better to focus on something else in the off-season?

Environmental victories won by vocal localsV

ocal Cowichanians are winning victories to preserve our threatened environment, but there are plenty of battles looming. Your voice does count.

Folks who care about saving our water, air, land, and ecosystems have no choice but to demand action from

our local leaders — development pressures are heavy, and getting heavier. The biggest win was stakeholder demands granted to in-crease storage of river water in Cowichan Lake to prevent another fall kill of spawning salmon, due to drought.

Some locals are rightly questioning the wisdom of granting Crofton pulp mill those river-water permits 50 years ago.

Outspoken Cobble Hill folks cited noise, dust and other worries about gravel extraction and soil � lling to reclaim farmland near Dougan Lake. Those concerns might have been solved if only Victoria had the inspectors to ensure our environment didn’t suffer.

And, while some Chemainiacs rightly argue all of Echo Heights forest should be saved, North Cowichan council has

agreed 80% will be preserved from housing.Meanwhile, locals are anxiously awaiting word from provincial

bureaucrat Hubert Bunce about allowing � ve million tonnes of toxic soil to be dumped into SIA’s quarry near Shawnigan Lake.

Just say no, Mr. Bunce. SIA’s scheme seems madness given other unmonitored dumps already leaking poison into Cowichan’s water supplies.

Good news involves plans to create a Shawnigan Basin Author-ity to help protect south-end water.

We recommend citizens and CVRD directors to say yes to a proposed $50,000 annually for local control.

Other eco-wild cards include pending provincial approval of pulling North Cowichan farmland for development beside Some-nos Marsh. That answer should also be no.

Finally, North Cowichan council seems to be listening to public concerns about saving most of Maple Bay Peninsula from development once an improved Stoney Hill Road is built. Council, make parkland from all of our municipal forest land there.

We say:Sound off to save ecosys-tems


YOUR TURN

“I don’t think so. There’s so much media attention on it, we’re just more aware of it now. With more attention, police will know people are watching, and they won’t get away with things as they have in the past. We just have to get rid of a few bad apples (police).”

Kerry Park process not the only fraud against local taxpayersDear editor

The Kerry Park input from the public was indeed a fraud. At least the process is on hold. What is really troubling is that a $60-million fraud has been carried out by the CVRD and its commissioners at the Island Savings Centre. There was no refer-endum and zero real input from the public to authorize this expenditure. The municipal auditor should look into this rip-off of public funds.Don SwiatlowskiNorth Cowichan

It’s been great getting to enjoy the Good Old DazeDear editor

As a volunteer of the South Cowichan community policing of� ce in Mill Bay and part of the team that created the � gure for ‘The Good Old Daze’ event being held in Mill Bay, I would like to say what a fun, week-long event it has been. It was a new event in Mill Bay with more than 50 � gures on display and was organized by the Mill Bay Malahat Historical Society. There was a lot of interest in our Constable Good-buddy � gure and I was amazed at how many people actually stopped to the read history of Speed Watch here in B.C. It was great to see the kids laughing and having fun with the History Scavenger Hunt. I look forward to this event again next year and am already planning our next � gure. If your readers missed the event, they can see the � gures on display Sundays at Bamberton in the month of August. You will be surprised with our delightful characters!Barbara MathewsMill Bay

Once again, CVRD not handling public concerns publiclyDear editor

In recent times there have been various articles of salaries of CVRD exempt staff raises and payroll. Bruce Fraser Director of Shawnigan Area � rst brought it up and most recently Ian Morrison Director of Co-wichan Lake South, wrote a column claim-ing accurate information was not available at budget time to him and asking for an audit.

Our directors on the CVRD board solved this outcry with their usual method; they called an in-camera meeting with the staff to discuss the issue with Mr. Morrison.

As in the ECO Depot � asco, where we saw the CVRD spend $55,000 on Acumen to “ed-ucate” the taxpayer and later a “staff report” blaming communication problems on the taxpayer, we have an issue which is really the tail wagging the dog. These well-protected, overpaid staffers are running the show and once again the CVRD board is digging in its heels and deliberately handling this matter in a manner to keep it secret and not answering legitimate questions of people paying the bill.Larry WoodruffShawnigan Lake

Nature fund should not be spent helping private logging trucksDear editor

The CVRD board of directors approved using Youbou’s Nature and Habitat Fund to contribute toward a truck wash in Youbou to deal with a TimberWest problem.

I would implore the CVRD’s environ-ment commission to take the basic steps of demanding accountability for the spending of designated funds. The Nature and Habitat Fund is a precious resource, hard-won. Those funds are meant to be used for strengthening and protecting the natural environment. As it is, those funds are meagre for dealing with the growing pressure of development in the area! To use those funds for anything else, shows a lack of due diligence and a failure in � duciary duty.

Timber West’s dirty-truck problem needs

to be understood to be part of Timber West’s cost of doing business. The fact Timber West is not being asked to take 100% responsibility for a problem they are causing for the residents of Youbou is astounding. Neighbours that I have spoken to are ap-palled by the actions of the CVRD.Clare AttwellYoubou

I’ll take safety over a quick com-mute every timeDear editor

We have always had long weekend traf� c jams leaving Victoria. It is a fact of the type of road and volume of traf� c leaving at that time. Even if the Malahat was double-laned in both directions, speed would only be 80 kilometres an hour for a large number of reasons: blind corners, turnoffs to businesses or other roads or to viewpoints, the slower driver, wildlife. And the list goes on. The Malahat is only 20 kilometres long. It takes 15 minutes to travel at the posted speed. If these “renovations” prevent more accidents, the only route up and down Vancouver Is-land will be not be closed as often. I’d rather be slower getting out of town than sitting on the Malahat for three to seven hours, or even overnight, because of an accident.Harry Veuger, Duncancomment submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

Time to fi nally put responsible people in municipal offi ceIn my opinion: More taxation not always the answer

I would like to suggest taxpayers of North Cowichan give serious consideration to the principles and policies they want in candidates in the next municipal election when it comes to taxation and spending

at municipal hall. That election is 15 months away and we need

serious candidates who recognize the taxpayer is not a bottomless pit.

A recent day’s priority spending by North Cowichan in my area was to send a truck with two people to power wash � re hydrants!! Re-ally? This is what we should be spending our tax dollars on at this time?

In 2008, North Cowichan taxes were $1.84 per $100,000 of assessment. In 2013 they were $4.09. Do the math. 224.3% higher or an aver-age of 44.9% per year over the past � ve years.

Ask anyone at the muni and they will try to tell you it was driven by Catalyst. Not true.

In 2009 taxes increased by 16.45% over 2008, in 2010 over 2009 by 17.45%. In 2011 when the download started, it was 13.39% and in 2012 13.86%. These were the “Catalyst” years. In 2013 the increase over 2012 was 7.3%.

The CVRD is somewhat better at 124.5% over 2008 and 24.5% average over � ve years. but still way out of line. It should be noted in 2009 CVRD taxes showed negative growth.

These increases in residential taxes have occurred in an economy that has shown an average annual rate of increase of 2.34%.

Recently, Ian Morrison of the CVRD board, called for an audit of CVRD salaries in excess of $75,000. The CAO of the CVRD gets paid more than the premier of B.C.

I suggest we need a forensic audit of all spend-ing in North Cowichan and the CVRD, as clearly the politicians cannot effectively manage our � nances. It seems to me there is not enough analysis, rigor and challenge in the budget pro-cess as spending is clearly out of control.

Salary increases for most people not working for the municipalities of B.C. are non-existent or minimally tied to the CPI. How can people be expected to pay their taxes, their mortgages and feed their kids when taxes are increasing at this rate? When will seniors be tossed from their home because their taxes are too high and they do not qualify for the deferral program?

It seems odd to me as well that miraculously the muni found $550,000 of taxpayer money — because it came from reserves does not mean it is not taxpayer money — to buy water-front land is Chemainus at the time the tax bills were delivered. That represents 1.3% of the 2013 budget and roughly 18% of the 7.3% increase imposed on taxpayers in 2013.

We don’t need people in of� ce tied to de-velopers. We don’t need people in of� ce who think development of 20% of Echo Heights will keep taxes affordable.

We need serious people who recognize if they keep on this path they will force people out of their homes, or cause them great economic hardship.

Enough already.Alex Currie Sr. is a Chemainus resident.

The Cowichan Lake Recreation Centre will be hosting the Youbou Regatta, a fun-filled family day, taking place at Arbutus Park on Saturday, Aug. 10.

Following tradition, the Regatta will begin at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at the Youbou Fire Hall.

“The Youbou Volunteer Fire Department Society sponsors the pancake breakfast every year,” says Linda Blatchford, manager of the

Cowichan Lake Recreation Centre. “We’re happy to welcome them back again to start off the day’s activities.”

The next event in the long list of activities planned for the day is the parade, starting at the Youbou Hall at 10 a.m. and ending at Arbutus Park, where the Regatta will run until 3:45 p.m.

“The parade is not all about businesses — we

welcome businesses and are very happy to have Country Grocer involved with the event, but we also encourage individuals to just decorate their bikes or puppies and come into the parade,” says Blatchford.

In the past, the event has seen 300 or more people attend, and organizers believe the num-bers will be similar this year.

“It’s well attended and lots of fun. Everybody is welcome to participate in the event; there’s no charge to enter the parade, swimming races, ca-noe race, kayak race, or any of the other events offered,” says Blatchford. “We have swimming races for all age categories, and we give out rib-bons for each event.”

The quarter-mile swim is usually the most popular event, featuring anywhere from 20 to 40 contestants, says Blatchford.

Osborne Bay’s future debated by councillorsDateline 1977: park, or something else?Ann AndersenNews Leader Pictorial

During the years leading to the dedication of Os-borne Bay Park, local politicos often debated the future of the large acreage south of Crofton.

In August 1977, the Gallagher property was approved for subdivision by North Cowichan

council. Earlier, North Cowichan, the CVRD and provincial government all expressed an interest in a portion of the 65 acres on Sansum Narrows, but all stated they were not in a position to pay for it.

A wrinkle for Gallagher in the subdivision approval was that he or the developer would have to cough up $20,000 for a 50-foot wide paved road. “I feel this would be the most appropri-ate time to acquire a road allowance across the entire property to provide a road that would eventually connect up with Maple Bay,” said planning committee chairman Ron McKinnon.

The continuation of Smith Road with a turn-around at the end would cost between $20,000 and $25,000, he said.

Amid rumours the acreage was to be used for industrial development, municipal staff had investigated and found the province — by order-in-council — had dedicated the land as a beach reserve. The council resolution also called for easements over a private water line.

The Cowichan Bay Sailing Association’s annual regatta runs under such a tried and true formula there’s no need to change

anything.But subtle additions or changes

have kept the event fresh for the longtime regulars and newcomers who come around each year.

“We actually had a bit of a new format this year,’’ said coordinator Stuart Dahlgren from the sponsor-ing UK Sailmakers of the 34th-annual event.

The Martin 242 North American championships joined the proceed-ings, with 19 entries.

Royal Vancouver Yacht Club’s Michael Clements and crew on Too Wicked emerged on top after 12 races staged Friday through Sunday. Nanaimo’s Ken Holland (Black-adder) came second and Royal Vancouver’s Tom Sitar (No Worries) finished third.

The rest of the fleet sailed Saturday and Sunday and it was pretty much business as usual.

“We were down a little bit,’’ said Dahlgren. “I think we had 92 (en-tries). It’s 90 to 100 the last few years.

“There was a lot of familiar names in the winner’s circle.’’

Winds were decent Saturday and slightly better Sunday for racing.

“Everything went really well,’’ said Dahlgren. “It wasn’t an unusual year in any regard. The numbers were consistent and the breeze was consistent.’’

The multi-hulls ran four races dur-ing the weekend, with Eric Pesty’s Geneva emerging on top. Bad Kitty (Bob Davis/Tomas Ron) was second and Osprey (Zollitsch/Peterson) rounded out the top three.

Mad Max (Micah Vanderheide) emerged victorious following five races in Div. 2 PHRF 0 to 72. Daryl Homan’s My-Tai finished second and Ben Power’s Baaad Kitty! placed third.

Six races for the Div. 3 Melges 24s ended with Gord and Michelle Gal-braith’s Lekker claiming first. Robert Britten took second on Full Circle and Dave and Deb Tolman led the crew of Psyclone to third.

Donald Wills II’s Shoot The Moon topped the charts after four races in

Div. 4 PHRF 2 for 84 to 132.Colin Nicols led the team on XS

to second followed in third by Paul Shaw’s Koru.

Top three for Div. 5 PHRF 3 for

135 to 168 were: 1. Fetish (Dave Richardson), 2. Peptide (Simon Walker) and 3. One Moore Time (Fraser McMillan).

Combined results from four races

in Div. 6 PHRF 4 for 180 to 300 had Betsy Wareham’s Red Eye Express on top, with Bruce McQuade (The Lounge) second and Paul Arcoite (Lark) third.

Andrew LeongSide-by-side sailors from the boats Fetish (Dave Richardson) and Bulletproof (Nigel Martin) get into the spirit of competition.

The dangers of excess alcohol consumption are very evident in Russia where 20 year old men have only at 63% chance of reaching the age of 60. Russians consume about 18 litres of pure alcohol

per year. That’s twice the Canadian average. The alcohol of choice is vodka.

A loss of a sense of taste is really a loss of sense of smell. Taste buds on our tongue help to distinguish sweet, bitter, acidic and salty foods. However it’s the odours of the food wafting up the nose from the outside from the inside via the mouth that enhances food taste. Causes of sense of smell can be temporary (colds, flu, hayfever), fixable (nasal polyps) or due to more serious illness. See your doctor if you are concerned.

Sixty years ago the publication Nature published the structure of DNA. It took 50 years for scientists to completely decode DNA through the international Human Genome Project creating a totally new science, genomics. Many compare this discovery with Industrial Revolution in the 18th Century and how it changed the world. Genomics may also change the world with cures for many diseases.

There’s an effective vaccine available to prevent shingles. If you know someone who has had shingles, you know how painful it can be. The vaccine is recommended for people over 60 who have had chickenpox. Talk to your doctor.

We welcome your questions about vaccines to help you make smart decisions.

A year and $7,000 to go.

Cowichan soprano sensa-tion Eve Daniell

hopes to fill financial gaps in fall’s $41,000 music-academy tuition with this weekend’s Concert For A Sunday Afternoon benefit of songs, arias and piano solos in St. Edward’s Church.

But not just any academy, and not just any friends.

Daniell’s doing her second of two years toward a mas-ters of music at London’s prestigious Royal Academy of Music.

That also where Aussie pianist Chris Lloyd is study-ing for his masters — after his North American debut Sunday with Daniell.

They’ll be joined by high-school soprano Holly Collis Handford, bachelor of music tenor Josh Lovell, and piano accompanist Rykie Avenant.

Their varied programme features Debussy’s Chevaux de bois, Williams’ Silent Noon, Hahn’s La Barcheta, Head’s A Blackbird Singing, Paisiello’s Nel cor piu non mi sento, Rhodenizer’s Singin’ the Blues, Schumann’s Nov-elette No 8 in F# Minor Op

21, Delibes’ The Flower Duet from Lakme, Handel’s Where e’er you walk, Faure’s Poeme d’un jour, Mozart’s Il Mio Tesoro, Chopin’s Ballade No 4 in F Minor Op 52, Barber’s On This Island, and more.

In some ways, those num-bers reflect the level of learn-ing award-winning Daniell’s reaching at the academy whose grads include Annie Lennox and Sir Elton John.

And Daniell is somewhat used to meeting royalty — such as the Queen’s cousin, Lady Mary Colman — at the academy where Daniell’s the sole Canadian vocal student out of about 80 vocal pupils.

In May, she appeared in concert singing excerpts of the Pergolesi Stabat Mater with countertenor Sir James Bowman.

On Aug. 23, Daniell makes her solo debut with the Victoria Summer Choir & Orchestra (Duncan Christian Reform Church), and in the Royal Academy of Music/Kohn Foundation Bach Cantata Series.

“I absolutely love the acad-emy,” the 24-year-old UVic music grad, and Cowichan Music Festival regular raved of the U.K.’s oldest conserva-tory.

While Daneill’s aware of the school’s heritage and

alumnae, she’s too focused on studying to really care.

“It’s total immersion, and its made very clear the standards of performance and musicianship needed,” she said, noting all instructors have musical careers.

“They make it the highest levels of the industry.”

The RAM boasts about 400 students spanning singers and instrumentalists to musical-theatre pupils.

It’s all work and little play, despite a bar located inside the academy sitting near Cen-tral London’s Regent’s Park.

“I spend from two to eight hours a day rehearsing and in classes.

“One-on-one time with teachers includes languages.”

Concerts are staged by Daniell and her classmates at least once a month.

She and sister, Olivia, rent a one-bedroom flat in East London for about $2,400 a month.

To Daniell, life in London seems somewhat expected since her mom, Trish, was British born, giving Daniell and Olivia duel citizenship.

“I’m just trying to make

an incredibly consistent performance, no matter how nervous I am, using flawless language and with a deep understanding of the poetry or text,” stated Daniell.

“Our teachers basically tell us how to live the song.”

This year will see her audi-tion for external and internal programs, and apply for U.K. opera programs.

She sung the praises of the Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation that awarded her $8,750 again this year, plus the Canadian Centennial Scholarship Fund that also awarded her $8,000 and the 2013 Belle Schenkmen Award for the Study of the Perform-ing Arts.

Meanwhile, Daniell was glad about the academy’s pub.

“We don’t even have to leave the building,” she laughed.Your ticket

Music is the gift that keeps giving to soprano Carolyn Thompson.

“I don’t know what people do without music — it just makes my heart sing.”

The next big aural present she receives — along with several other members of the local Encore! women’s choir — will be a chance to perform Choral Music For Women’s Voices in March. They will be joining about 130 others from around the globe in a mass choir of female-composed tunes in New York’s Lincoln Centre.

Encore! president Thompson and her choir colleagues are planning a series of fundraisers to gain about $2,400 per singer headed to the Big Apple.

About 20 Encore! members will work with maestro Hilary Apfel-stadt to build an orchestra-backed choir for famed, 2,500-seat Avery Fisher Hall to salute International Women’s Day, March 10.

“It’s very exciting singing in a mass choir with people from around the world,” said Thompson, 64, who joined Encore! — now led by conductor Christine Dandy — some six years ago.

Encore! members will learn a list of songs (titles and buying sheet music pending) before heading stateside for � ve days of workshops with Apfelstadt — University of Toronto’s renowned director of choral programs — to construct the choir.

“Learning more challenging music

also excites me,” said Thompson as she prepares for her � rst New York trip.

“It’s very dif� cult music — not something you’d learn in a few days.

“The venue has a huge impact on what a sound sounds like.”

That sound will be ampli� ed by Encore! members after the Co-wichan choir was contacted to work with the Distinguished Concerts Singers International series.

“They found us on the internet. They were looking for women’s choirs, and were sent a recommen-dation from the (recent) provin-

cials,” Thompson explained.“They phoned back all excited

and said ‘We want you.’“We’ll be ambassadors for Dun-

can. Unfortunately, we don’t qualify for many grants because it’s (an event) outside the country.”

Still, the choir lifer wouldn’t miss this gig.

“How many people get invited to sing in Lincoln Centre?

“Whenever you sing, it’s a growth experience; singing with others, you learn to blend with their voices,” she said, wired about honouring women’s vocal gifts.

The Winnipeg native started sing-ing at age � ve in school after hear-ing some lovely church music.

That spurred work with school choirs before Thompson met her husband in a church choir.

“He hooked me up with the best voice teacher in Winnipeg; I took four years of voice lessons and sung in the (city) festival at 40.”

Music’s always been a friend to Thompson, who listened to Mozart and other favourites after knee-re-placement surgery several years ago.

“I’ve just found music to be my saviour.”

Other Encore! members con-� rmed headed to NYC are Dandy, Nikki Adams, Tina Andersen, Meredythe Broadway, Trish Dandy, Jacquie de Jong-Seinen, Tanya Friese, Mary Gallinger, Beverley Holmes, Fran Kirby, Alissa Len-nox, Heather MacGregor, Leah Nicholson, Marcy Parkin, Jennifer Porter, Maria Ridewood, Sue Ryan, Irene Simkins, Deborah Sumner, and Ann Yelland.

Precocious Nanaimo sax talent brings his Messengers to CroftonThe summer is no longer young. But the Crof-

He took lessons with Steve Jones and he was hooked on creating music.

“I decided this is what I want to do with my life because it was so immersive,” said Stewart.

When I come to the end of the roadAnd the sun has set for me

I want no tears on a gloom-filled roomWhy cry for a soul set free

Miss me a little and not for longAnd not with your head bowed low

Remember the love that we once sharedMiss me-but let me go

For this is a journey we all must takeAnd each must go alone

It’s all a part of the master planA step on the road to home

When you are lonely and sick of heartGo to the friend we know

And bury your sorrows in doing good deedsMiss me-but let me go.

MATTIN,Lavonne, Marlene, Edith

June 5, 1933 - August 4, 2013

It is with deep sadness that we announce Lavonne’s sudden passing at Royal Jubilee Hospital. Predeceased by her granddaughter Michelle, her 1st husband Ronald Valleau and her 2nd husband Ronald Mattin. Survived by her children - Bill (Joan) Valleau, Rhonda (Dick) Yano, Sheila (Steve) Cowie, Maria (John) Elzinga, stepsons Randy (Cathy) Mattin, & Jerry Mattin, also her sister Norma (Kurt) Kloss, her sister Linda Bradshaw and her brother Bob (Melanie) Bradshaw, as well as her grandchildren Maureen, Cory, Niki, Christopher, Jason, Nathan, David, Jessica, Jennifer, Cameron, Katie, Spencer, Brody, Lindsay and her great grandchildren Tracy, Jessa and Jailyn, her close friend and companion Len Hearsey and her dog (James) Cagney. Mom was the matriarch of her family. She was a soft-spoken person who could suddenly turn into a feisty tiger if she felt the need. Mom embodied community service by helping many, many people on a one-on-one basis over her lifespan. She developed loving, supportive relationships with her children and grandchildren. She took great pleasure in gardening and the outdoors. She was happiest in the company of family and friends and enjoyed her summers at the lake. The family would like to thank all who helped on Saturday night at Honeymoon Bay resort, including Kelly and John Woywitka, Donald Elzinga, Mike Peerboom, the Honeymoon Bay Fire Department, the staff at CDH and at Royal Jubilee Hospital for the wonderful care Mom received. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Lavonne may do so to the Duncan SPCA. Service will be held at 1:30 pm, on Friday, August 9th, 2013 at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 531 Herbert Street, Duncan, BC. Online condolences may be offered at

KIRKWOOD, Evelyn JoyceApril 24, 1924 - August 4, 2013 Evelyn entered Eternity peacefully the afternoon of August 4 at the Gatehouse Adult Care seniors’ residence, which had been home for almost two years. She was born at home in Vancouver, the second child and first daughter to Gertrude and Arthur Cole. In 1945 she married David John Kirkwood, then RCNVR, and settled next door to her childhood home to

raise her family of four children. She and David retired to the Courtenay area in 1984 where they lived until time and tide brought them to the Cobble Hill area. Evelyn is survived by her beloved husband David; sons Vin (Sue), Kevin (Marcia), and Keith and daughter Kathy (Ron) Read; brother Bill (Joan); grandchildren Bridget, Emma, Diana, Mary Rose, Brock, Andrew, Elizabeth, David Read, Stephanie (Alain Constantin) and Lawrence (Jamey) Roonie; great-grandchildren Connor, Laura, Sophie, Tyler, and Kaylee Simmons, and Elizabeth, Ann-Marie, Felicity, and Gregory Bartle, Liam Constantin and Sam Rooney. Evelyn took up the reins of the family business in Vancouver, as a young teenage girl, following her father’s illness that left him unable to continue to manage the store. She married David in the last days of WWII and started her family in 1949. She was a very active homemaker skilled in sewing, knitting, and putting up preserves. Many of her knitted articles remain in circulation amongst the grand and great-grand children. She was also active in the PTA and supported her kids in their Scouting and Guiding activities. During the retirement years she and David travelled several times to the UK where they met and became lifelong friends with many extended family members. She enjoyed her quiet life near Courtenay until about two years ago when she accepted the assistance needed in a seniors residence. Her final illness lasted about two weeks through which she retained her wit and feisty nature. Evelyn’s funeral will be celebrated at Sand’s Funeral Chapel, 187 Trunk Road in Duncan at 11:00 AM, Saturday, 10 August, 2013. In lieu of flowers, we suggest donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC. We would like to acknowledge Mom’s friends in Fanny Bay, the staff of the Gatehouse Adult Care Residence, as well as, the Staff in the Emergency Room and 2nd Floor of the Cowichan District Hospital for the friendship, care, and assistance rendered to her over the last two years. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she Rest in Peace. Condolences may be shared online at www.sandsduncan.ca

4TH ANNUAL USED BOOK SALE Fundraiser



Has Taryn Smiley saved her best for last?

All indications are the CVAC Jaguars’ track star has a little

bit left in the tank and will pour out that extra fuel during the final event of the season, the Legion national championships, in Langley this weekend.

Coach John May of Black Creek wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see Smiley achieve difficult-to-obtain personal bests in the 100 and 200 metres against the cream of the crop from across the nation.

“He always uses the term, ‘Unleash the beast,’ said Smiley. “Now we’re really peaking.’’

Smiley, Chicago Bains and Liam Lindsay are at the meet as Team B.C. members. Casey Heyd and Ben Williams are attending as indepen-dents under the Jaguars’ name.

Smiley has been on an incredible fast track to success this season. With only about a year of experience under her belt, Smiley is turning heads with some incredible results at prestigious meets.

She’s been training diligently mostly on her own or with Bains and receives the added benefits dur-ing May’s availability for sessions.

“I know last year when Chicago was going to Legions, I thought ‘I want to go next year,’’’ said Smiley. “I never thought I’d be on Team B.C.’’

But here she is and among the favourites in both her specialty events. Smiley is ranked fifth in the 100 and sixth in the 200, but it’s a very fine line among the top girls in her category.

“We’re all super close, I think,’’ said Smiley. “It’s going to be anybody’s race.’’

Smiley is well-prepared and feels she’s done the necessary work that could put her over the top, includ-ing off-season training benefits with mom Tanya Knight.

“We’re in the gym a lot,’’ said Smiley.

Everyone connected with track and field knows how difficult it is to attain personal bests once runners have been to several meets and a

time pattern emerges. National standards for Smiley’s events are 12.20 seconds for the 100, and 25.45 for the 200.

She went to the Trevor Craven meet in Burnaby earlier this summer and ran a personal best 12.44 in the 100 to rank second in B.C. and 21st in the nation at that time. A 25.74 in the 200 left her third in B.C. and 29th in Canada for 16-year-old girls.

Chasing a spot on Team B.C. then took Smiley to Kamloops for the B.C. Athletics provincial champi-

onships. The weather was hot, but Smiley proved even hotter, thriving in those conditions.

“It keeps your muscles warm,’’ she said. “It does make a huge differ-ence.’’

Smiley ran the 100 first and made the finals with a heat time of 12.59 compared to a 12. 49 for Racquel Tjernagel, No. 1 in B.C.

Smiley had never beaten Tjernagel, but came through in the 100 final, winning gold in 12.23 to move up to 11th in the nation and just 0.03 off the national standard. Tjernagel ran 12.39.

Smiley went into the 200 final looking for another shot at the national standard in that event. After qualifying with a top seed time of 26.03, she bucked the 40 degree Celsius heat for a remarkable run of 25.39 that put her under the national

standard.“After I ran my 200 at Kamloops,

I didn’t feel like it was a good race,’’ said Smiley.

But it was a very good race and another part of her amazing climb up the ladder.

At the nationals, Smiley will be running the 100 heats and finals and the 4x100 relay with three Vancou-ver girls Friday. Saturday is an off-day and then Smiley competes in the 200 heats and finals plus the 4x400 relay Sunday.

“I don’t really know what to expect,’’ said Smiley. “It’s my first big meet.’’

One thing Smiley does know for sure is the push from the starting block will be the key in the 100.

“That’s what I’ve been working on,’’ she said. “I’m quick out of the blocks. I’ve just got to perfect it.’’

Don BodgerNational standard for Taryn Smiley finally happened in the 200 metres at Kamloops and she’ll be gunning to better that mark in the national Legion championships this weekend. Above, Smiley does some stretching before a workout at the Cowichan Sportsplex.

Ingram, Slemko wrap up singles titles in lawn bowling competitionGot a sports story?email [email protected] 250-856-0045 A tremendous amount of interest has

been shown in the annual women’s and men’s singles competitions at the Cowichan Lawn Bowling Club.

Phyl Ingram, pictured, and Maria Ridewood qualified for the women’s final.

In a single day of play, Ingram prevailed during great bowling by both

players and qualified for the Bowls South Island Champ of Champs tournament to be held in September.

Twenty players signed up for the men’s event, the largest entry ever.

It was quite a battle for the final four spots. Clint Bailey, Tom Slemko, Roy Jaskow and Jim Irvine were success-

ful in separating themselves from the crowd.

Bailey and Slemkow then advanced into the final.

Slemko eventually prevailed and earned the right to join Ingram as repre-sentatives of the club in the BSI Champ of Champs competition.

Mission accom-plished, by a persistent group of

mosquitoes.The Duncan Red Sox

capped a remarkable un-beaten run through the zone tournament in Campbell River and the provincials in Mission Sunday. It ended with a 14-9 victory over North Delta for the provin-cial U11 Mosquito AAA Tier II provincial baseball championship.

“To be honest, that team could have won it with no coaches,’’ chuckled Bryn Battye, one of the team’s four coaches.

“They’re well-versed on the little things.’’

Duncan was well-prepared for the provincials and zones plus a few extra games picked up along the way against teams in higher tiers. The team proved competi-tive in those games as well, particularly against Victoria.

“I think we had a 13-game winning streak to finish off the season,’’ said Battye.

The Duncan squad of 10- and 11-year-olds got rolling from the beginning of the tournament and never looked back.

“The first four games were pretty easy,’’ conceded Bat-tye.

Duncan won 11-2 over

West Kelowna with an MVP performance by Kyler Hewitt, clobbered Ridge Meadows 19-4 as Daniel Larson was named the MVP and throttled Port Coquitlam 12-3 behind the efforts of MVP Mac Home-niuk.

“We came into the last game of the four, we knew we made it into the semifi-nals,’’ said Battye.

The Duncan coaching staff decided it didn’t want to sac-rifice its best pitching choices for the playoffs.

“We threw in our fifth or sixth ranked pitcher, Kyler Hewitt,’’ said Battye. “He just shut them down.’’

North Delta had also been rolling through the tourna-ment on the other side of the draw, but Duncan won big 16-4. Caleb Battye was the Duncan game MVP.

“We showed we could hit their pitching,’’ said Bryn Battye.

That put Duncan into the semifinals against Clover-dale.

Being on the other side of the draw, Duncan didn’t know much about Clover-dale.

Taylor Webb started on the mound and did a good job. Gavin Pringle then took over in the second inning with the bases loaded and no one out in a scoreless game.

“He struck out the side and he just rolled through it the rest of the game,’’ said Battye.

Duncan went on to score eight runs and posted an 8-0 shutout.

North Delta won the other semifinal, setting up a big rematch for the champion-ship.

“We started off really slow,’’ said Battye.

“They’re not used to being down. In the final of the zones, we went down 6-2 and

came back and won 21-10.’’Duncan was trailing 9-3

and got it back to 9-6 in the third inning.

“Every time they came back into the dugout we’d say it’s a six-inning game,’’ said Battye.

Connor Caskenett entered the game and shut North Delta down while Duncan completed a surge of 11

unanswered runs for a 14-9 victory.

All the players enjoyed a great tournament.

Larson was on fire at the plate, displaying his hitting power with some home runs — including a grand slam.

“All the kids up and down the lineup were hitting,’’ said Battye.

During the zone playoffs

at Campbell River, Duncan annihilated Nanaimo 11-1, beat Victoria 14-8, trounced Oceanside 12-1 and ended on a high note with that huge 21-10 comeback over Campbell River.

In other baseball news, Brayden Radcliffe and Cam LeSergent have been selected to play for Burnaby’s peewee team in Saskatchewan.


Cowichan is now on a four-game winning streak in

the Victoria and District Cricket Association, but the playoffs aren’t yet a certainty.

“We need to keep winning the next three

games,’’ said Cowichan’s Nagy Thomas.

Cowichan’s record improved to 9-6 on the season following a win over the Colts Saturday at Shawnigan Lake, but still sits fifth in the standings. Only the top four make the playoffs.

“We’ve been winning a few games and our bat-ting order has been falling into place,’’ said Thomas.

“We’ve been getting that right these days. We knew going into that game where everyone was playing.’’

Cowichan won the opening coin toss, something that’s become a trend along with its win-ning streak.

Thomas and Adam Benning were the opening batsmen for Cowichan.

“Adam is by far our best

batsman on the team,’’ said Thomas. “We lost him right away.’’

Cowichan wasn’t worried as Steve Can-non stepped in. Cannon scored 230 earlier this season, the highest total in league history, but it wasn’t his day, either.

“We lost him right away, too,’’ said Thomas.

Luckily, Thomas hung around and eventually formed a solid partner-ship with Charles Swart. “It gave us the runs we eventually needed,’’ said Thomas, who put up 78 himself in the 151 scored between the two.

Cowichan went 295 for nine after its 45 overs. Colts didn’t make too much of a run and went all out for 141 in 26.4 overs, as Cowichan won by 154 runs.

Personal reasons to ride

Kyle SlavinNews staff

Everyone has their own personal reasons for riding in the Tour de Rock.

All three of the Saanich Police Department’s members have witnessed loved ones fight cancer, and all three have felt the pain of losing loved ones to the disease.

For Const. Doug Franklin, he lost a grandfather, two aunts and an uncle on his mother’s side.

For Const. Lisa Bruschetta, she lost a grandmother to complications from throat cancer. Her mother was also twice diagnosed with cancer – and beat it both times, and her close friend just recently completed treatment and is now in remission.

And for civilian employee Kevin Nunn, a British expat, he lost his father to lung and liver cancer hours before he was to get on a flight back to England to be with his dad.

“It’s affected everyone, directly or indirectly. Given the opportunity to make a difference monetarily or emotionally or physically, I had to jump at the chance,” Franklin said, explaining his motivation to ride.

The Saanich bicycle patrol cop has three kids, and says meeting families going through the emotions that come with having a child with cancer has put his life into perspective.

“I thank my lucky stars because

I’m not burdened by the demands of having to care for one of my kids – who are all thankfully healthy. This is my way to give back,” he said.

Bruschetta, a mother of two, isn’t as lucky when it comes to the health of her children. Her eight-year-old son Dominic has neurofibromatosis, a disease that makes him susceptible to growing cancerous tumours under his skin or on his brain.

She’s riding this year to give support to families and health care officials who have given her and her family the love and support they’ve needed.

“I want to give families the same level of support I’ve received. Being in hospitals, being in cancer clinics and seeing how well they’ve taken care of my loved ones, I believe it’s a mirror image of what the Canadian Cancer Society is doing for the children and families who benefit from Tour de Rock,” she said.

Nunn, the equipment manager for Saanich police, holds a special place in his heart for Tour. For the past two years he’s held physically gruelling and financially successful fundraisers to benefit Tour de Rock.

Being named to this year’s team

as a special guest rider has been life-changing. Visiting Camp Goodtimes in July, the camp for kids who’ve been diagnosed with cancer, reaffirmed to him just how good a cause he’s fighting for.

“Going to Camp Goodtimes and seeing children who are going through cancer who actually don’t realize it; they’ve forgotten that they are (going through cancer) because they’re having so much fun being a child,” he said.

This year’s Tour de Rock team is made up of 22 police officers, media riders and special guests.

The team will cycle nearly 1,100 kilometres from Port Alice to Victoria Sept. 21 to Oct. 4 raising money for pediatric cancer research and support programs like Camp Goodtimes.

All three Saanich riders say their experiences up to this point in their lives – as parents, as police officers, as former military men (both Franklin and Nunn) – haven’t prepared them for the emotions they’ll feel on Tour.

“I think that the riding is honestly going to be our easy part. I think meeting these children and families – their stories, that’s where we’re going to need to prepare ourselves,” Bruschetta said. “I’m a very emotional person, so that’s going to involve keeping my focus positive and giving out as many hugs as I can.”

“I’m a strong person,” Nunn added. “I did 22 years of the British Forces, so I’ve seen a lot of trauma, a lot of pain throughout the world. But this is something different. This is about children. This is something special.”

They’ve arrived. Twenty-three of them all gleaming blue and white.

In Trek Bicycles Store, a chatty group gathers around the futuristic-looking

bicycles. Victoria Police Department Const. Chantal Ziegler is among them. She’s already put her name on a donated bicycle which she will ride in the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock 13-day trip from Port Alice to Victoria this fall.

Zeigler’s teammate, Const. Debbie Wyatt, isn’t there yet. Chantal checks her Blackberry to find a message that Wyatt’s been held up dealing with an impaired driver.

“In this business you just never know,” Zeigler says.

Zeigler’s other teammate Const. Dawndra Tolsma is in Vancouver on a training course. The

three are the only Victoria Police Department riders in this year’s fundraiser. They’ve dubbed their fundraising group The Amigas.

Beyond the two-months of training, the excite-ment of stopping at 26 Island communities and the camaraderie, all three have deeper reasons for riding the 1,000- kilometre course.

“Two years ago I became a parent and was lucky to have a healthy boy,” Ziegler says.

Raising money for pediatric cancer research and financial support for children with cancer and their families, pulled on her heart strings.

Cancer is no stranger to Ziegler’s family. In 1995, her father died after a long battle with leu-kemia. Ziegler’s mother is a two-year survivor of breast cancer.

And although difficult to face, Ziegler said she can’t image dealing with a child being diagnosed with the disease.

“I may have to huff up a hill (during the ride)

but I know I will make it to the top, but these kids don’t know if they will be here tomorrow,” she said.

There is a rumble from outside the shop, as Wyatt pulls into a parking spot in a police paddy wagon. Still in uniform she joins Ziegler. Like her co-worker, Wyatt signed up for the ride with chil-dren in mind. For Wyatt it’s her four nieces and one nephew.

“Being an aunt I couldn’t imagine going through the stuff those families have to deal with,” she says, adding she lost close friend to cancer.

Wyatt has accompanied previous Tour de Rock teams as a police motorcycle escort. Being a rider is an honour, she says.

Both Ziegler and Wyatt will face some physi-cal challenges after the ride starts on Sept. 19, but both believe the emotional journey will be tougher.
