Is a new Cowichan District Hospital possible on the school board’s Beverly Street site?

Call that property, and other possible places, a distant maybe, according to

local leaders and heath authority brass.“VIHA has not yet determined if a new

hospital would be built on the existing CDH site, or at an alternate site,” Val Wilson of the Vancouver Island Health Authority emailed the News Leader Pictorial last week.

The school board of� ce site emerged in recent weeks as a popular rumoured CDH destination after school brass announced plans in May to eventually move operations to a vacant school.

“That site (SD79 land) has been mentioned as a potential location,” says an email from Rob Hutchins, CVRD chairman, “but it’s one of � ve I know of that have also been men-tioned. The criteria has not yet been estab-lished for the site selection, and the process has not been � nalized, so it would be premature to begin speculation on potential sites.”

Selection processes could start in a couple of months, he notes.

VIHA and Cowichan Valley Regional Hospital District brass are slowly sifting data showing swelling demand for medical care will outstrip supply of staf� ng, beds and services at the busy hospital by around 2020.

Cpnsiderations outlined in CDH’s June 2010 master site plan have prompted initial scouting for a new CDH property.

North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure said he assumed all possible places will be mulled for a new CDH, if it’s decided the aging facility will leave its Gibbins Road home.

“I don’t know if they’ve considered that (SD79) site, but it’s not unreasonable that it could be considered.”

Wilson explains site speci� cs are still smoky.“VIHA and the CVRHD are discussing

what such a land search would involve, and what the expectations and needs regarding a location and acquisition process would be. At this point there is no formal agreement

between VIHA and the CVRHD.”She echoed Hutchins’ cautious approach

about whether to use provincial bucks to either renovate the current CDH, build a new hospi-tal on site, or erect a new facility elsewhere.

“There is still an enormous amount of plan-ning work to be done. At this point there is no provincial funding for this project,” Wilson says, “and we recognize the multiple capital priorities the province has before it, along with its limited � scal resources.”

Still, CDH is VIHA’s number-one major capital priority now that site purchasing for two new hospitals is underway in Campbell River and Comox Valley, she explains.

“Cowichan District Hospital is functionally obsolete, has aging infrastructure and does not meet the community’s needs as well as it should.

“Given this, VIHA is actively planning for a new or renewed health care facility in the Co-wichan Valley. This planning includes service requirements, a range of the number of beds, physical space requirements, adjacencies of other services, etc.”

CDH’s master site plan poses ideas of rebuilding or renovating on the Gibbins site or erecting a new CDH elsewhere, but makes no recommendations as it projects the hospital’s growing needs. It does, however, provide

� gures spanning administrative, and in-patient support, to future logistics such as security, dietary and biomedical engineering.

Using ‘right-sizing’ data, CDH’s 91 beds needed in 2007 would rise to 104 by 2015, then to 114 by 2020, the plan suggests. Use of the Emergency Room, where 27,000 patients were treated in ‘07, is expected to increase to 32,000 by 2021.

The plan notes CDH’s emergency ward is crowded, and undersize for storage and staff needs, patient privacy, and more.

It’s a similar story in the operating rooms, where 2007 saw 5,000 surgeries; 12,000 were projected by 2020.

Andrew Leong/� leCowichan District Hospital is number one on the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s list of facility priorities.

The 2020 on CDH: Offi cials still pon-dering whether to renovate, rebuild on site, or fi nd a new location

What’s next for Cowichan District Hospital?

Steroids often get bad press but they also serve a useful purpose. Our bodies normally make steroids to build cholesterol which produce hormones like cortisol, made by our adrenal glands and is important

in energy and immune functions. Other steroids regulate our fluid and electrolytes. Our sex hormones, like testosterone and estrogen are also steroids.

Steroids are also used legitimately to treat diseases like asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis and gout. Short courses of steroids are used to treat allergic reactions that might cause obstruction of the airways and they can bring a quick and dramatic relief of symptoms.

It is the negative sides of steroids that we hear about in the media. Some body builders and athletes use them as performance enhancers and they can cause serious side effects like cataracts, osteoporosis, immune system suppression, confusion and mood changes perhaps with hallucinations. Kidney failure, blood clots, stroke and shrinking of the male testes also can occur.

For standard medical problems, your doctor should be overseeing the use and dosage of steroids.However, using them for body enhancement is not a good idea and should definitely be avoided.

It takes five years to become a pharmacist. In that time, we learn much about drugs and their uses. We’d be happy to share that knowledge with you.

Mayor says fi ll used for diking project is cleanGot a comment or a story?email [email protected]

phone 250-746-4471 Ensuring use of clean fi ll for Cowichan’s diking project is a priority for the municipality’s watchdogs, the mayor says.

North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure said he had no reason to believe reports to the News Leader Pictorial about dirty dirt being used on the multi-million-dollar dike, then ordered removed.

“Staff are being careful about where soil comes from for that very reason,” he said last week, aware toxic soil could be coming to various Cowichan dump sites.

“Staff haven’t said anything about (toxic) soil getting past them. It’s been a priority since day-one that only clean fi ll be used.”

Reading raises one’s IQ.

Valley teacher-librarian Ve-ronica Allan is a kids’ guide to those lifelong smarts.

Her special way of sparing the reading rod, and spoiling children with books they enjoy, earned Allan this year’s Val Ham-ilton Lifetime Achievement Award from the B.C. Teacher-Librarian Association.

“I encourage struggling readers by helping them � nd books they can read, and gradually move to harder books until they feel successful with reading.

“I match them with books to do with their interests — if they’re interested in BMX bikes, I get them reading about that.”

It’s believed Allan is the � rst Cowichan teacher to win the coveted Hamilton honour saluting teacher-librarians who make out-standing contributions to their profession, and to school libraries.

“I’m beyond thrilled,” the mother of two sons said.

“I go to BCTL conferences, and see people win these awards, but never expected one year it would be me.”

Her Hamilton was announced by principal Heidi Grant during Bonner’s awards night June 26.

“I didn’t have a clue. Heidi had a call that afternoon saying I’d won the award,” she said of the peer-nominated kudo.

Allan, 60, started as a teacher-librarian in 1997 at Mount Brenton (now closed), then shifted to Somenos (now closed), then to Discovery elementary, then to George Bonner (formerly a middle school, turning elemen-tary).

“I only went into teaching at age 44,” said the holder of a UVic education degree, and a UBC certi� cate in teacher-librarianship.

“I love my job; I have the best job in the world. I get to promote literacy by making the library a friendly, welcoming place, and mak-ing children love coming in.

“I help kids wade through and access the enormous amount of material on the internet — and how not to plagiarize.”

Allan’s also avid about supplying teachers with timely classroom materials, teaching researching methods to pupils, “and promot-ing school-library use to students, teachers, parents and the board of trustees.”

But there’s a warp to Cowichan’s school-

library card, explains apolitical Allan.“In Cowichan we’ve had one teacher-

librarian in each school. Next year I’ll be doing Discovery and Bonner that used to each have one.

“The (pupil enrolment) has decreased, but not to the point where we have one teacher-librarian for two schools.”

If students don’t have a teacher-librarian guiding them in their research, “they won’t have required skills for adult life to assess what they’re reading, and to know if it’s accurate.”

And reading shouldn’t take summer holidays. “Teachers spend lots of time catching kids up in September; some kids have no books at home.”

Fostering literacy through library use is para-mount in Allan’s book.

“The library should be the hub of any school.”

But reading resources are imbalanced in

Cowichan, she noted.“In middle and high schools, we get the

resources we need — elementary schools tend to be have and have-not schools.

“Schools with strong (parent advisory com-mittees) give money to the school, but some schools don’t have PACs.”

Allan’s message to Premier Christy Clark? “It’s been proven in scienti� c studies schools with a quali� ed teacher-librarian, and a library that’s open, are indicators of student successes, but Cowichan Valley school librar-ies are closed half the time,” Allan said of tight budgets.

“Teacher-librarians here do a fantastic job, with the time they have promoting literacy and increasing kids’ reading levels,” stressed Allan.

Pupils’ page prowess improves with access to youth authors, especially from island and valley wordsmiths.

“I read young adults’ books. They’re fan-

tastic,” she said citing John Wilson, Jacquie Pearce, illustrator Dean Grif� ths, Sarah Harvey, Michelle Mulder, Mike Deas, and Susan Juby.

“We promote anything that helps kids love reading — if they don’t love reading, they won’t do it.”

Electronic versus paper books? “It’s all read-ing, but (books) have got to be available.

“I get kids excited about a story, so they get hooked then read others in the series,” she said, praising the monster Harry Potter series and other strings of stories.

“Many kids see the movie, then want to read the book,” said Allan, a fan of books by Ken Follett and Jonas Jonasson.

“I watch children learn to love reading, and it doesn’t get better than that.”

Allan will receive her Hamilton award in Oc-tober in Haney, B.C., at the BCTLA’s annual conference.

courtesy Bonner schoolTeacher-librarian Veronica Allan eased into summer with this year’s Val Hamilton Lifetime Achievement Award from the B.C. Teacher-Librarian Association, perhaps the highest hon-our the association bestows upon its members.

BC Hydro is offering an opt-out option to thou-sands of Cowichanians claiming smart meters pose dumb health risks.

Basically, customers can have a meter installed with its wireless transmitter turned off, then pay manual reading charges, Energy Minister Bill Bennett outlined last week.

Costs and timeframes for reading services and meter swaps were unavailable by press time.

Further, folks already with a home or business smart meter can have that unit exchanged for a me-ter with its radio off, then switch to manual reading, explained Hydro’s Cindy Verschoor.

Either way, smart meters must eventually be used by all custom-ers — including 2,500-some locals refusing the new meters among Hydro’s 32,500 Duncan-area customers.

“We want to bring the grid into the 20th century,” she said, com-paring old meters to rotary-dial phones in the Blackberry age.

“It’s a leap with lots of technol-ogy involved.”

Hydro’s $1-billion meter pro-gram started in 2007, swapping analog meters with new meters it

claimed would more accurately gauge electricity use for billing, power theft, and faster outage service.

But 60,000-some customers have refused the meters, denying property access to Hydro crews and Corix contractors.

Some folks have filed legal meter-refusal papers with Hydro; others have locked their old meters with wooden circles or metal devices to stop crews from making meter swaps.

Veschoor denied manual read-

ing charges would punish meter refusers.

“Absolutely not,” she said, ex-plaining Hydro is accommodating old meters that aren’t communicat-ing with smart units.

During the May election, some voters skewered Victoria for forcing customers to take smart meters, despite radiation fears among some.

Verschoor disagreed.“If a customer isn’t comfortable

with a smart meter, we’re not forc-ing them to accept it.”

Peter W. RuslandThe remaining smart meter holdouts have been finally been given an out by BC Hydro, but it will cost them.

Pay for reading option: Thirteen percent of Co-wichan residents have so far rejected Hydro plan

Hydro offers Cowichan users and holdouts alike chance to opt out on smart meters

Cowichan Lake area residents had plenty of answers when asked about the community’s most significant health

challenges.But one theme cropped up time

and again: access to careMany of the 40 residents who

attended a July 10 health forum at the Cowichan Lake Sports Arena called for a centralized health care hub to act as a home base for a proposed new community primary care team.

“I think, primarily, we need physicians in the area, also a centralized health care hub that residents can come to,” said Gerry True, who attended the engage-ment session.

Lake Cowichan’s aging popula-tion, a lack of transportation to and from services, people moving away from the community due to a lack of services, lack of mental health services, and the need for more health education were all cited as concerns.

The forum was hosted by a group hoping to develop an inte-grated multidisciplinary primary and community care team for Cowichan Lake that can improve local health care.

Comprised of members from the Cowichan Communities Health Network, CHOOSE Cowichan Lake, the Cowichan Valley Divi-sion of Family Practice and the Vancouver Island Health Author-ity, the group wants to design a Lake Cowichan care team based

off community needs. The team will not directly address the town’s doctor shortage, but will be avail-able when there are no doctors and will work with the doctors once they come to Lake Cowichan.

“Essentially, the function of the working group is to identify what the care team will look like,” said Ryan McKay, the group’s project manager.

“Everything from where it goes, to what the scope of some of the roles is, if it’s a dietitian on the team instead of a physiotherapist, all of those little questions that need to get sorted out.”

The next steps for the work-ing group are compiling a report reflecting the community input, beginning the development of the care team, and hosting more com-munity engagement sessions to make sure things are on the right track.

The working group is looking

to have a care team in place by November, but currently there’s no set date, said McKay.

“Ideally, we will get the informa-tion out pretty quick. We recog-nize that the longer it is, the longer the community has to wait,” he said. “Community engagement takes time. We are hearing that we need to do a few more sessions like this, and it’s so valuable to do these — but as I said, it takes time.”

The next community engage-ment session is not yet scheduled, but it will likely take place in the fall, said McKay.

“Tonight marks a very significant milestone that we can celebrate,” said Dr. William Cunningham, the president of the British Columbia Medical Association and former emergency physician in Lake Cowichan.

“It’s a very tangible step forward in designing health care delivery that works for this community.”

Tyson JonesHeather Tant reads one of the concerns raised at her table durning the engagment session. It reads: “The ability to live in your own community ‘till the end of your life and be able to access services locally.”

Locals say the Lake Cowichan region needs own community health centreHealth care concerns: Resi-dents pinpoint access to care as community’s single biggest issue

A mother and daughter from Victoria have been charged in connection with a slew of south Vancouver Island

credit card frauds, including some in Duncan.

Vancouver Island RCMP say the women, arrested June 12, are suspected of conducting hundreds of illegal transactions across the island totalling more than $90,000 between January 2011 and March 2012.

“Credit cards were altered and unauthorized credit card data was used to purchase high-end electron-

ics, furniture, merchandise and gift cards,” he said. “These arrests and charges represent a significant success and disruption of ongoing financial crimes.”

Christine Mauro, 46, and Karen Mauro, 63, face 27 combined charges of fraud under $5,000 and use of credit card data. They are part of a prolific crime group, police say.

The women appeared in Victoria court June 13 and are under house arrest pending a trial date.Their next court appearance is July 24 in Victoria.

Peter W. Rusland North Cowichan firefighters attend a crumpled car and drop liquid-absorbant material after a July 12 fender bender at James Street and the Island Highway. There were no injuries.

Shawnigan RCMP aren’t classifying it as a crime of the century but a simple reminder.

That is a recent theft from an unlocked vehicle parked near Shawnigan Lake School.

“The victim had left his truck windows unlocked and rolled down while working nearby,” explained Sgt. Rob Webb in a press release. “The male observed some young males in the area walking through and felt something wasn’t right. When he went to the vehicle he noted a consid-erable amount of cash and his cell phone had been stolen.”

RCMP members patrolled the Beach Estates area and as a result identified one of the youth involved.

The young bucks were caught red-handed and “remorseful and returned the full amount of money taken to the owner.”

“Although we have not seen a big increase in thefts from vehicles this summer, this in-cident is certainly a reminder to lock your vehicles and keep your valuables hidden at all times,” Webb said.

“This type of thing shouldn’t happen but does, the opportunity was there and a poor decision was made.”

Patrick HrushowyNews Leader Pictorial

I can see it now — the NDP is begin-ning the conversation that would ultimately show that it wasn’t Adrian Dix’s fault they lost the May provin-cial election.

It was the voting system that did them in.Why else would leading NDP politicians

begin public murmuring about propor-tional representation voting systems? Are they trying to change the subject?

NDP House leader John Horgan re-cently was quoted by the Vancouver Sun’s Vaughn Palmer as saying � at out he sup-ports proportional representation.

“The � rst-past-the-post system is not serving the people of B.C.,” said Horgan.

In its simplest form proportional repre-sentation means that if a party gets 40 % of the vote in an election then they would

get 40 % of the seats in the legislature. In this case that would not be enough for

a political party to form government on its own. It would need the support from at least another 10 % of the popular vote that went to other parties.

Our current � rst-past-the-post means the candidate with the most votes wins and this often means winning with less than 50 % of the vote. In the May 14 election the Liberals took 44 % of the popular vote, New Demo-crats 40, Greens 8, Conservatives 5.

Horgan was joined in his public mus-ings by rookie MLA Judy Darcy, who agreed with Horgan’s stance as soon as he voiced it. Darcy is no political rookie, having served for 12 years as the president of CUPE, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, and business manager for the Hospital Employees Union for six years.

Her roots in the NDP are deep and what she has to say would not be taken lightly

by the party.This is not a new position for

the NDP but it was not part of the party’s election platform for the May vote. Horgan says he would like to see a referendum of the matter prior to the next provincial election in four years.

But, why raise that now? It will certainly serve to divert attention

away from what many would expect to be a very serious examination of what went wrong in what most certainly was a case of Dix and the NDP snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Even yours truly was preparing to accept an NDP victory and was taking steps to adapt.

The NDP is on a tight timeline to complete its review of what happened to dash the hopes of the NDP government-in-waiting.

The terms of reference for that review are extraordinarily broad and results are expected to be available to party members by the time the NDP meets in convention in November.

That doesn’t leave a lot of time to blue-sky about changing the voting system rath-er than a hard look at what went wrong.

Successful elections require an enormous amount of discipline on the part of the leader.

That means having a plan and sticking to it – no matter what.

Maybe that’s all they need to look at.Patrick Hrushowy is the president of the Cowichan Valley constiuency association of the B.C. Liberal Party. Email him at [email protected]

Journalists have many reasons to be cynicalGlass half-empty: Here are just a few examples

We read something somewhere recently that sug-gested journalists are the most cynical breed of professional. Not necessarily saying we agree with that assessment, but here are some reasons it could be true.

• Journalists observe a court system reschedule a court date to set a new date to schedule a hearing to see if there is enough evidence to set a date to set another court date to determine the best date for

a trial. Which will then be rescheduled.• They get front-row seats to develop-

ers pitching the � nest in green, eco-friendly, affordable, low-impact housing that, upon closer examination, looks ee-rily similar to the same $300,000 cookie-cutter vinyl village they plowed down a grove of trees for three years ago, except this time painted in earth tones.

• They get to watch angry citizens accuse government of lack of public

consultation only to learn those citizens have never opened a newspaper, attended a public meeting, or cast a vote.

• They listen as politicians say they are all about listening to the public, then dismiss that same public as “not knowing all the facts,” “politically motivated,” or just plain “wrong.”

• They absorb the scorn of deeply partisan people across the political spectrum who read a news report that puts their party in a bad light and react by accusing the journalist of bias.

• They watch committees pay consultants good money to investigate a matter of community concern, pat themselves on the back when it is done, then leave the results on a shelf until another committee “updates” the process a few years later.

• They hear “good corporate citizens” tell hard-working charities they will make a donation, but “only if the newspaper is there to take a picture.”

There’s more. But there are also many good reasons why not all journalists become cynics. We’ll share those on Wednesday.

We say:Would any of these tend to jade you?

YOUR TURN “I most certainly want to see results; if not we’re

overpaying them. Under $100,000 I don’t think is too much money; over that we have to make sure we’ve got someone who can do the work, not just apply and get the job. “

“If you’re getting (publicly) paid, you should be giving something of at least the same or greater value. If not, you’re a parasite. It sounds like a communist plot where there’s no accountability.”

Find solutions, not opportunities to postureDear editor

Amanda’s Marchand’s July 10 guest opin-ion about the reaction to the recent garbage burn on the Cowichan Tribes reserve was very well-written. Thank you Amanda! I would have thought that most people would have heard the old saying “People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” but appar-ently not. I’m shocked and saddened by how quickly so many people I expected would have behaved better jostled to line-up on what they saw as the side of all that is good and holy in order to throw the biggest proverbial stones they could � nd. No matter what the issue, � nding a solution should be the focus. Finger pointing, name-calling, shaming and posturing are the tools of the smoke-and-mirrors gang.Cindy GilesComments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

Stand against stereotypes most welcomeDear editor

I want to loudly applaud Amanda March-and for her piece published July 10. I also want to applaud this paper for standing up to address long-held stereotypes by printing the counter-narratives. We live on unceded, untreatied land. To not acknowledge this as the starting place, puts us squarely against relationship building. There is no neutral/equal starting place in any of this. The his-tory is not in the past. We can not assume the realities are the same for everyone in this valley. This is so far from the truth. When I hear comments using the royal “ we,” I cringe and ask who are ‘we?” When people make public statements without this con-sideration, they embarrass us all by demon-strating a lack of foundational knowledge, not to mention compassion.

As Marchand states, there are much bigger environmental concerns in our own back-yard and this incident (that was addressed immediately, I might add), should not be used as an opportunity to cloud the really big and alarming picture. Lets take a really long look at ourselves as non-Aboriginal people living in this territory.

As a local non-Aboriginal, I do not want my children to be a part of perpetuating negative attitudes, but to be a part of healing

this inherited relationship. Education can be the fuel for change. Cowichan Tribes has been voicing this position. It is up to us to educate ourselves, to learn and to understand the history behind the realities, that impacts us so differently. Thank you Amanda for this refreshing voice of reason, and to this paper for making space to pres-ent the realities.Laurie HardingMill Bay

Updogs T-shirt company barking up a bigger charity treeDear editor

Thanks for the great coverage today about my Updogs T-shirt project. I have an impor-tant correction though: $15 from every shirt goes to the SPCA, not $7. That equals 50% of the purchase price of the shirts, which sell for $30 each.Brian KroekerDuncan

Mill Bay, not Alexander claimed titleDear editor

I feel I must point out corrections needed to the Dateline:Cowichan stories published on July 5. I am thrilled the newspaper spelled both of my names correctly, but not so good for Scheryl Konschuh and Dorann Halldorson. As well, the team was not from Alexander School - we all were from Mill Bay Elementary!

Otherwise, it was a thrill to see us men-tioned again, after all these years.Cecile (St.Amand) PaddleDuncan

How long must Cowichan Bay be a ship’s graveyard?Dear editor

It’s nice to see the Dominion gone, but the same fellow and his buddies have brought us another derelict. Called the Beaver it may look like a nice, interesting, old paddle wheel boat, but it is an ill-fated replica of the real boat. Only claim to fame it ever had was as a party boat during Expo 86. It has been dock hanging in Victoria ever since. I don’t think it has an engine either. When the tug took the Dominion away, it brought us another derelict to take its place. How do we wind up with all the junk that � oats our way? Next time you look in Cowichan Bay remember the Dominion and how long it was a hazard here. What’s next, the “Gorge Waterway Navy?” They have to clean up in Victoria?Thomas Wagner,Cowichan Bay

Mt. Sicker intersection remains a problemDear editor

It’s so unfortunate this area is so prone to accidents, so many close calls there around Mt. Sicker/Trans-Canada junction. People continue to race through amber lights there, which makes it dangerous for anyone proceeding through for a green light. I never go through a green light until it’s safe as 18-wheeler trucks and others go too fast and can’t stop.Ray Tony CharlieComments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

In my opinion: SD79 embracing the social three “Rs”

Thank you for your recent article honouring the excit-ing diversity of Cowichan Valley’s graduating students

These students are con� -dently “searching for ways they can live out their passions” (as Chemainus Sec-ondary principal Sian Peterson said) and are “de� nitely varied and unique and ... comfortable with their differences,” (as Cowichan Secondary principal Charlie Coleman commented).

The students graduating from Cowichan School District in 2013 are probably the � rst group of graduates to have spent 12 full years in an education system that places as much emphasis on teaching the three social Rs of Respon-sibility, Respect and Relaxing about differences as on the three academic Rs of Reading, ‘Riting and ‘Rithmetic.

Hats off to School District 79 for setting social responsibility as a priority for these students and all students in the district.

Education in social responsibility is es-sential in our increasingly diverse world.

Simply having students from different cultures, abilities, economic circum-stances, interests and other identities in the same school is not enough.

Human beings do not naturally, or au-tomatically or easily welcome diversity.

It takes skillful leadership and pur-poseful diversity in education to engage students in building socially responsible learning communi-ties based on respect for each others differ-ences.

Thank you also to Cowichan Inter-cultural Society, Canadian Mental Health Association, Cowichan Kids, Hiiye’yu Lelum (House of Friend-ship) Society, Cowichan Women Against Violence, Community Options Society and many other community groups.

Their members and staff have worked in partnership with each other and with School District 79 over the years to develop inclusive leadership and so many effective socially responsible diversity edu-cation initiatives in the Cowichan region.

The outcome of these efforts can be seen in the graduates of 2013 who are transforming themselves, our communi-ty and our world by embracing diversity. Linda Hill has worked with and volunteered for the Cowichan Intercultural Society and local youth for more than 20 years.

Powerlifting champ Rhoda Heaslip is lightening the healing load on

sick and injured kids by raising money for a new B.C. Children’s Hospital.

The Nanaimo-based holder of Canadian and Commonwealth lifts visited Duncan’s RBC Royal Bank branch recently to pump Raise The Bar For Kids, her reason for targeting $15,000 toward replac-ing Vancouver’s facility that tended a local boy in recent weeks.

“I raised $3,600 for Nanaimo Regional General Hospital during the 2011 World Power-lifting Championships,” said the grandmother of three who’d gained about $1,000 for the new BCCH.

“Now they’re building a new B.C. Children’s Hospital that’ll be used by kids from the island who’ll go there when they need help.

“I thought I might as well use my strength for something other than medals.”

Heaslip proudly hefted hardware she earned breaking four Common-wealth records, and eight

Canadian ones, during March’s 2013 Canadian Powerlifting Champion-ships at Vancouver’s Olympic Oval.

But one of her heroes is young Kai Gotro, a cerebral-palsy patient at BCCH where Heaslip presented him a gold medal for his brave ef-forts against the disease.

Between Raise The Bar For Kids visits to RBC branches, Heaslip, 54, will attempt a 350-pound lift at Woodgrove Centre

Sept. 7.She’ll chase that try

on Sept. 23 at the World Masters Powerlift-ing Championships in Orlando, Florida where she’ll attempt to shatter her own Canadian and Commonwealth deadlift records.

“I work out three days a week,” Heaslip said of “foundation training.”

“I like the challenge of it; you either make the lift or you don’t. There’s no arguing a successful

lift — it’s a true measure of your athletic ability.”

Raise The Bar For Kids testifies to Heaslip’s compassion for kids, signalled RBC Dun-can’s manager, Corrine Thompson.

“It’s so awesome for Rhonda to promote the children’s hospital. It’s a cause near and dear to many in the branch.”

For more, visit raisethe-barforkids.ca. Donations are also accepted at RBC branches.

Political unrest was in the south-end waterDateline 1980: Water board dismisses complaintsAnn AndersenNews Leader Pictorial

As communities expand, infrastructure improve-ments grow in response. At least, that’s the way we hope things work. In real life, we know that’s not always so. Often, residents exert pressure for change.

Take July 1956, for example. The Mill Bay Water Board initially resisted complaints from 121 users who charged their water smelled bad, tasted bad and stained clothes, kitchen and bathroom appliances.

“We know there’s a problem,” said Doug Burke, board chair-man and CVRD Mill Bay director. He said, however, users in his area who complained about the quality of the water they receive faced a choice of drinking “diluted sewage” if they went back to piping their water from Shawnigan Creek, and drink-ing water “with a little iron in it” if they continued to receive their water from the water board’s community well.

That response wasn’t what residents wanted to hear. When they presented a letter to a water board meeting, their reception was equally reserved.

Lynn Balding told the board: “We’re not going to let you think the complaints are isolated and if you are not willing to listen we can bring out the bigger guns.”

Steve Housser, the local Liberal candidate defeated in the May elec-tion, maintains his campaign stand that toxic soils shouldn’t be allowed for treatment in Shawingan Lake’s

watershed.“I made it quite clear I was not in favour

of the proposal,” he said of South Island Aggregates Ltd.’ permit application to his party’s government about treating five million tonnes of dirty dirt in a huge south-end quarry.

“It’s the wrong place for a contami-nated waste dump, and I stand by that,” the Shawnigan resident said, as residents awaited word about permit approval from environment ministry bureaucrat, Hubert

Bunce.“I hope his decision is not in favour of the

permit. I understand they’re still reviewing 300 (citizen feedback) submissions. I would

not be pleased, but I understand there’s a (legal) process and that provides for an appeal.”

Cowichan NDP MLA Bill Roultey reminded environment minister Mary Polak in the legislature earlier this month about Housser’s hustings tout to keep toxic soil out of Shawnigan. Polak replied her ministry wouldn’t interfere in permitting processes.

Meanwhile, Housser denied Routley’s recent concerns about Housser and eight other B.C. Liberals being rewarded with contract work from their party.

“It doesn’t mean a great deal to me what people are saying.

“They all applied for a contract and I was successful in getting one,” he said of work worth about $20,000 with the Ministry of Government Communications and Public Engagement.

Chronically restless, hyperactive, procrastinating, scatterbrained?

If so, you may have attention deficit disorder, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,

explain two folks living with the complex condition, discussed July 13 at Duncan’s Jimgerbread cafe.

That’s where TV actor Rick Green — bumbling outdoorsman Bill on The Red Green Show he wrote and co-created — was hosted by Cowichan’s Brigit O’Leary and Cowichan Independent Living.

Like Green, O’Leary has a form of the disorder.

She hopes to launch the island’s first ADHD/ADD group in Cowichan “to pro-mote education and have ADD recognized across all ages.”

Green shared O’Leary’s outlook that edu-cation is key to identifying, understanding and coping with the condition.

“It’s a spectrum disorder. It runs in fami-lies. Everyone may have a bit of it, but the question is how much?” Green asked from Hamilton, Ont., headed to Detroit’s ADHD conference where he’s a keynote speaker.

“ADHD people check out when we’re bored, but we’re unstoppable when we’re interested; those who are successful find careers that work with ADHD.”

ADHD clues could include early report cards showing inattention in class.

“Some might say ‘Yes’ to everything and struggle to finish anything,” said the Gemini-Award winner, diagnosed with ADHD after one of his children was found to have it.

O’Leary realized she had ADD after drop-ping out of a PhD program in Australia.

“I just cratered during the thesis,” she said. “If it’s undiagnosed, you don’t understand what it is.”

While drugs help some cope, medications don’t cure ADD, she noted.

That’s why Green wrote and directed the 2009 ADHD adult-centered documentary ADD & Loving It!

“Maybe one in six people are aware they have it. Some people even joke about having ADD,” he said.

But the disorder’s not funny to folks grap-pling with its confusing behaviours — per-haps prodding depression and addiction.

“They can tune out during boring conver-

sations, it really sabotages every area of life,” said Green.

“They struggle staying focused and listen-ing — you must educate yourself about what it is, and what it is not.”

Homework done, one can “work with ADD and turn it to your benefit; it’s learn-ing to harness your natural abilities and let go of others.”

Learning to be more mindful of what you’re doing, and exercise, also help, he said.

“You see what the better application of time is, asking ‘What’s my bent?’

“ADHD people are either running the company, or they’re the janitor.”

Meanwhile, O’Leary’s targeted a local ADD event in October with possible ses-sions for teens, doctors, couples, and adults.

“Knowledge is empowerment,” she said.For more, call 778-422-1967, or visit total-

lyadd.com.

Dr. Heather Cook

to join Dr. Anna Wang atCowichan Valley Dental Group.

Dr. Heather Cooke was born in Ottawa but moved to Victoria with her family at the age of 13. Dr. Cooke completed her Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Victoria with a major in Microbiology and then spent a year working prior to gaining admission to dental school at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Cooke became interested in dentistry after a couple of unfortunate events leading to many hours in the dental chair as a patient herself, so the next time you see her feel free to ask her about it! She enjoys all aspects of general dentistry especially children’s dentistry which allows her to interact with the whole family and have a little fun along the way. She strives to provide patients with a comprehensive approach to their dental problems in order to return their mouth to a state of health and believes in the importance of informed, patient-centered care. Dr. Cooke is very excited to be practicing dentistry on Vancouver Island which she considers to be her home. When she is not practicing dentistry, she enjoys painting, baking and occasionally attempting to mountain bike with her soon-to-be-husband Matt. She has also recently started learning about photography and is planning to learn to ski this upcoming winter. When Dr. Cooke isn’t on the west coast, she can usually be found visiting her family in the Maritimes. She looks forward to meeting you in person, works Monday-Friday and welcomes New Patients.

NOTICE OF INTENTTO CONSIDER THIRD READING

OF ZONING BYLAW 3520Bylaw 3520 is applicable to:

Electoral Area A – Mill Bay/Malahat,Electoral Area B – Shawnigan Lake, and

Electoral Area C – Cobble Hill

NOTICE is hereby given that the CVRD Board of Directors will consider Third Reading of South Cowichan Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 at the regular Board meeting of July 31, 2013.

South Cowichan Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 will replace Electoral Area A – Mill Bay/Malahat Zoning Bylaw 2000 (adopted in 1999), Electoral Area B – Shawnigan Lake Zoning Bylaw 985 (adopted in 1986) and Electoral Area C – Cobble Hill Zoning Bylaw 1405 (adopted in 1992).

The intent of Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 is to implement the 2011 South Cowichan Official Community Plan and provide a modern and robust land use bylaw for the future of the three affected electoral areas. Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 would be one comprehensive zoning bylaw with common terms and conditions of use for the three electoral areas, and it would also maintain distinct height and setback regulations for each of the three electoral areas.

Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 divides the lands and water surfaces within Electoral Areas A, B and C into 68 different zones. These zones are classified under the following general land use categories: Agricultural, Rural Resource, Rural Residential and Recreational, Village Residential, Rural Comprehensive Development, Village Comprehensive Development, Rural Commercial, Village Commercial, Industrial, Parks/Institutional and Water.

Regulations for each zone generally include a list of permitted uses, minimum parcel size for subdivision, density (typically the number of dwelling units permitted per parcel of land or dwelling units per hectare), setbacks for buildings and structures, maximum permitted building height, and the degree to which land may be covered by buildings and impervious surfaces. Some zones contain other regulations – for example, requiring a parcel to be connected to community water and sewer services.

In addition to the specific regulations concerning each zone described in Zoning Bylaw No. 3520, there are general regulations that apply to all lands and water surfaces, related to land use, siting of buildings and structures, subdivision, off-street parking and off-street loading spaces. There is also a list of definitions, for terms commonly used within the Bylaw.

Subject Property Location: Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 affects all lands in Electoral Area A – Mill Bay/Malahat, Electoral Area B – Shawnigan Lake and Electoral Area C – Cobble Hill.

All persons who deem their interests affected by Zoning Bylaw No. No. 3520 will be afforded an opportunity to present written submissions on matters contained therein to the Regional Board. Written comments on the proposed Bylaw may be faxed to 250-746-2621, e-mailed to [email protected], or mailed and/or deposited at the Regional District Planning & Development Department office, 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC, V9L 1N8 up to 4:30 p.m. on July 31, 2013. For further information, or if you have any questions, please call Mike Tippett, Manager, Planning & Development Department at 250-746-2620, or toll-free at 1-800-665-3955.

A copy of the proposed Bylaw, staff reports and correspondence received to date may be examined at the Regional District Planning & Development Department office, 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC, from Friday, July 19, 2013, to Wednesday, July 31, 2013, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. A copy of the proposed bylaw and maps are also available for viewing on the CVRD website at http://www.cvrd.bc.ca/index.aspx?nid=1487

Ashley Degraaf News Leader Pictorial

Cowichan has a place for Shake-speare.

That was evident in former Bard at Brentwood’s sold-out perfor-mances.

It’s also been said by local theatre troupes, who’ve staged many the author’s works.

And it’s not an exception for Alex Gallacher of the Shawnigan Players.

“There’s obviously a demand here for Shake-speare,” said Gallacher, who’s staging seven performances of Twelfth Night as part of the player’s annual outdoor pageant starting July 25. “The play itself is really a rollicking show, as are a lot of his plays, and the characters are in love with someone, who doesn’t love them back.

“As it was in Pride and Prejudice, it’s again about the dif� culties of romance. And it’s very accessible and funny and very true.”

Gallacher and players courted Austin’s classic tale last summer as the group’s debut outdoor show at Cowichan Station’s Gem O’ The Isle B&B. It was enough of a success, they’ve decided to try again with one of the Bard’s complex but whimsical pieces.

“We decided to make it an annual event,” said Gallacher, who’s directing but also dou-bling as Malvolio. “It was a great success, and we really had a good attendance.”

Audiences should be captivated with the Shakespeare’s crazy, confusing, and comedic love triangle that starts with Orsino (Nick Mil-lar) pining over Lady Olivia (Laura Faulkner).

Meanwhile, after a shipwreck off the coast, stranded survivor and aristocrat Viola (Kim Phillips) disguises herself as a man, Cesario, who the � nds work for Orsino. As Cesario, Viola gets all warm and fuzzy over Orsino.

Then things get really weird when Cesario visits Olivia on behalf of Orsino and Olivia falls head over heals for her (or him, as Olivia perceives it).

“It’s a really complex play, with a great vari-ety of characters and we’ve got a great cast,” Gallacher said.

Other cast members include Bill Levity (as The Fool), Drew Kemp (Sir Toby Belch), Bob Norris (Sir Andrew Aguecheek) and Lindsay Anderson (Maria).

Gallacher suspects those who missed last year’s production, will be blown away by the

site’s very � tting pastoral setting.“It’s an amazingly beautiful farm,” he said.

“It couldn’t � t any better with the setting of the play. And sometimes the horses will come by.

“We’re also hoping the cat will make a reappearance,” he added of a curious visitor who stepped into last year’s set, a rectangular, raked, wooden stage nestled among apple trees.

“And as the two � rst lines at the beginning state, ‘If music be the food of love, play on,’ music is a huge part of the production,” he

said, noting Ladysmith harpist Patti Patstone’s involvement.

The outdoor setting allows for only 120 folks meaning tickets are limited, warned Gallacher.

How much faster can Chicago Bains go?

Still faster yet, according to

her coach John May of Black Creek.

Bains is currently at a meet in Kamloops, along with other top valley track and field athletes, where the pro-vincial team is selected.

May points out it is very dif-ficult to make the provincial team because it is limited in size to 15 15-year-old athletes, of which Bains is one, and 25 youth ages 16 and 17.

That leads into the national Legion meet.

May continues to marvel

over the performances of his star athlete from the valley.

“Chicago has grown and advanced over last year so much, I cannot put it in words,’’ he pointed out. “It is hard to explain to people that in a race only 80 metres long with eight hurdles when she gets a P.B. (personal best) of even .01, it requires a huge amount of work — 0.1 in the range she is at now in the 11.50s is exponentially more difficult than those in the 11.70 to 11.60 range.’’

Chicago is truly on fire.“No one in the province has

ever shown what she is doing right now in both her 80-me-tre hurdles sprint race and her 200-metre hurdles distance race,’’ May raved. “Some have done one or the other, but not

both at the level she is at right now. She is on the verge of major breakthroughs in both yet again.’’

May pointed out he’s trying to get her to peak at the right time of the year at the Legion nationals in Langley from Aug. 9 to 11.

“The intensity of the focus required to run hurdles as fast as she now does is actually very physically and emotion-ally draining so we are very careful when she does so.’’

Bains ran 11.68 in the 80 hurdles at the B.C. high school championships, done with such an intensity that many wondered how she could surpass that. But she did.

It went down to 11.57 at the Jack Brow meet in Kelowna and then to 11.55 at Swan-gard Stadium. At the same time, she bettered her 200 hurdle mark twice to 27.89 and then 27.53.

The sky’s truly the limit for this amazing athlete.

“People that know hurdles at levels far above this are even stunned by this,’’ noted May, who’s also working hard and getting great results from sprinter Taryn Smiley.

“She, too, has far exceeded my original expectations.’’

Andrew Leong/fileHurdling phenom Chicago Bains is far exceeding the limits of the sport. Even those at higher levels are amazed by her progress. At left, Bains, only in Grade 9 at the time, obtained the No. 9 position for valley youth athletes of the year in 2012 and got a chance to meet Canadian Olympians Kyle Hamilton and Hilary Stellingwerff.

Chicago Bains: Personal bests at this stage are not easy to obtainHurdles cleared at top speed

The Duncan Nationals Midget AA baseball squad took two of three games from the Nanaimo Junior Pirates Premier team, as it

continued preparations for the pro-vincial championships coming up in Duncan during early August.

The Nationals beat the Pirates 7-1 in Nanaimo last Wednesday. Strong pitching by Jordy Frost, Cameron Frame and Andrew Larson limited the Pirates to only two hits and one earned run.

A double by Larson knocked in Frame for the Nationals’ first run in the first inning. Two in the second came after a Max Winter line drive up the middle to get things going and Reiya Tomida crossed the plate to fin-ish the rally.

The Nationals added single runs in the third and fifth. In the seventh, Blair Robertson’s single was followed by a towering double off the base of the wall by Zach Komst and a triple by Jordy Frost for two more runs.

Defensive play in the outfield was solid from Adam Fukakusa, Adam Sakuma and Wes Smith.

The same two teams split a double-header Sunday at Duncan’s Evans Park.

The Pirates won the first game 12-9.“The normally solid defence of the

Nationals disappeared in the third in-ning, as errors led to three Pirate runs,’’ noted head coach Jim Frost.

The Nationals got two back in the fourth on a two-out double by Aaron Frost and then tied the game in the fifth on a Robertson home run.

Errors plagued the Nationals again in the sixth, as the Pirates scored six.

The Nationals clawed back again in the bottom of the inning with five on singles by Sakuma, Larson, Komst, Jordy Frost and doubles from Aaron Frost and Alex Boos.

“Although the comeback fell short, I was proud of how the kids battled back,’’ noted Jim Frost.

The Nationals cruised to a 9-1 lead after four innings in the second game and posted a 10-7 victory.

Only one unearned run was scored against Nationals’ starter Larson over five innings. He also hit a triple in the second to drive in two runs and Tomi-da went three-for-three at the plate.

The Nationals produced runs from throughout the lineup and the defence was strong.

Above, Jim Brandsma drives to the hoop guarded by John Climie. Right, Chaz Milne and Michael Brandsma go for the rebound during game action. Justin Croswell organized the event on behalf of the North Cowichan Alliance Church. “It’s to raise money for a generator for a school down in Haiti that doesn’t have power,’’ said Croswell. His call for players was answered to support the cause. “It’s all local talent,’’ said Cro-swell. All the players were winners just for taking part.

Cowichan finally snapped a four-game losing streak in the Victoria and District Cricket Association.

Cowichan broke out in a big way Saturday at Victoria’s Beacon Hill Park, beating Albion by 30 runs. Last time the teams met, Cowichan lost by 93 runs.

It was another uphill battle for Cowichan, as it batted first against the second-place team in the league.

Two wickets fell with the score at 29. At that point, the reliable Steve Cannon was joined by Hassaan Rahim to pro-duce one of the best third-wicket stands of the year.

Cannon scored 78 and Rahim 55, as the total reached 166 when the partner-ship ended.

The lower order batsmen weren’t quite as successful, but Mits Nakagawa added 14 and Dave Norrish 13 to bring the tally to 217 for nine.

Cowichan’s bowlers put on a much-improved performance to hold Albion to 187 all out. All seven bowlers kept the rate to under four runs an over and took wickets regularly at the same time.

The previous week, Cowichan lost a tight one by five wickets to Alcos B at

Windsor Park in Victoria.

Alcos B went into the match in top spot and with only one loss so Co-wichan knew it would be a tall order when it won the toss and decided to bat first.

The team had a nervous start with 65 runs for

the loss of four wickets, but came alive with Cannon and Clayton Bodkyn in partnership. Cannon departed for 72 and Bodkyn let loose on the opposition for an undefeated 57 that included five sixes.

Cowichan’s respectable 191 for eight at the end of the 45 overs gave the team a realistic chance of winning.

Dushyant Kohli punished the Co-wichan bowlers for 143 not out and virtually won the game on his own. Charles Swart was the most successful of the bowlers, taking three for 42.

Alcos made 197 for five to claim the win.

Next action for Cowichan is Sunday at Shawnigan Lake against Oak Bay.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.

Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.

Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.



A change is certainly better than a rest for the Cowichan Challenge triathlon.

Sunday’s event was rerouted due to the replacement of the bridge over the Chemainus River. Cyclists still went

partly in that direction but then looped back through the Chemainus and Saltair areas.

“The new bike course is awesome,’’ wrote Sarah Malerby on the CeeVacs Road Runners website. “It could be described as flowy with absolutely spectacu-lar ocean scenery.’’

The race was once cancelled entirely because of dangerous conditions on the bridge that’s currently being replaced. But organizers didn’t want to do that again because it takes so long to build the entry field back up again.

Thus, the new bike route was pitched as an alterna-tive that turned out to be a great choice.

“Everyone really liked it,’’ said race director Janine Frank. “We needed a lot more volunteers because so many roads crossed it.’’

That stretched the budget a bit with 25 volunteers and 10 paid required to cover the course compared to 20 volunteers and two paid people before, but well worth it.

The new route offered the same intensity as the previous one.

“It was still a challenge,’’ said Frank. “There was lots of hills.’’

Another interesting point, “because it was out-and-back, they got to see other cyclists,’’ added Frank.

Overall, the event was a huge success — a complete sell-out with 260 participants divided among the sprint (500 metre swim, 16 km bike, five km run), main event (1,000 m swim, 34 km bike, nine km run) and the sprint and main relays.

“It was awesome, as usual,’’ said Frank. “Everything went off without a hitch. It was sold out for the first time in quite a few years which is very exciting.’’

She praised the contributions of the event sponsors — Wilderness Kayak for the swim, Cycle Therapy for the cycling and Front Runners for the run.

Dave Trill was the overall winner of the main event in 1:42:25. He also ranked first in each of the three phases with a swim of 15:03, bike of 50:10 and run of 35:48.

Sean Clark finished second in 1:45:19, with Jim Nelson (1:51:05), Matthew Leroy (1:56:02), Balint Falvai (1:56:32), Jason Hare (1:56:49), Bryan Rehill (1:57:21). Michael Arensen (1:57:36), Kirsten Arensen

(1:59:36) and Shelley Thomson (2:00:04) rounding out the top 10.

Chris Eidsvik won the sprint event in 1:06:07 fol-lowed closely by Orphee Bernard (1:06:25) and Holly Henry (1:06:55).

The rest of the top 10 finishers in order were: Wyatt Church (1:08:29), Abby Spiers (1:08:52), Jeremy Kissack (1:09:41), Farisha Arensen (1:10:27), Emily Clark (1:11:04), Bryun Harver (1:11:53) and Gareth Slocombe (1:12:24).

Cycle Therapists topped the main event relay and 2 Zinks 1 Far led the way in the sprint relay.

Purinton signs on for three years as coach of the IslandersGot a sports story?email [email protected] 250-856-0045 Dale Purinton has signed a contract

extension to coach the Kerry Park Islanders of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League through the 2015-16 season.

“Dale is an outstanding coach and we are absolutely thrilled to have him stay on with our club,’’ stated Islanders’ gen-

eral manager and owner Mark Osmond.The former National Hockey League

player took over the team last December on an interim basis. The decision to sign Purinton to a three-year term was an easy one for Osmond.

“Dale is committed not only to our organization, but the community,’’

Osmond indicated. “His knowledge, passion, teaching ability and positive enthusiasm are beyond exceptional.

“We believe that stability and continuity are important factors in achieving our long-term goal of developing young players for the next level and becoming perennial league contenders.’’
