Andrew Leong/� le Kathy SantiniCowichan offi cials walk toward the bus along the Mission Road dike during a Wednesday tour showcasing the community’s $9.5 million dike improvement project. They are hopeful the project will protect residents from fl ooding such as what happened in 2009.

Kathy SantiniNews Leader Pictorial

Nearly $10 million in improvements will signi� cantly reduce the chances Cowichan will escape a repeat of the disastrous � ood of 2009.

That was the message from of� cials Wednesday during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new York Road pump station.

“This will protect us from a � ood like we had in 2009, which was a one-in-seven-year event,” said Rob Hutchins, the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s chairman.

“This project signi� cantly gives us a much larger scale of protection than we’ve had before. It’s the � rst time we’ve had such a systemic development in place to prevent a one-in-200-year � ood in our community.”

In November, 2009, 237 people in the Duncan area were impacted by � ooding; the cost of the immediate response was about $1.5 million.

The cost of follow-up prevention measures to pro-tect local residents from a repeat totalled $9.5 million.

“Congratulations to all our partners in the success-ful completion of this signi� cant � ood protection initiative,” Hutchins said. “Our communities are that much safer because of your efforts.”

Cowichan Tribes, the federal and provincial govern-ments, the City of Duncan, the Municipality of North Cowichan and the CVRD each contributed to the expanded and repaired diking system built to provide greater protection against � ooding in the area east of the Trans-Canada Highway.

It was also built to withstand projected increases in precipitation, which many say is a result of global warming.

“Hopefully, we won’t experience a � ood again like the � ood of 2009,” Hutchins said.

All of the speakers at Wednesday’s event comment-ed on how the different bodies worked together to get things done.

While the new diking was being built, the CVRD, thanks to a $1.13-million grant from the province, has also been working on developing a long-term planning strategy for the Cowichan and Koksilah � ood plains. Of particular concern is the amount of sediment and log jams that occur in the rivers, in wet years and dry, and their impact on � sh.

Kate Miller, manager of the CVRD’s environmental initiative division, said it’s expected the report and its recommendations will be tabled this winter, with the CVRD’s board.

Plugging the dikeNo guarantees, but: Offi cials confi dent $9.5-million project will go a long way toward protecting from future fl oods

The Ministry of Transportation has pledged it will do what it can to keep holiday season traf-� c � owing over the Malahat.

Rock drilling and blasting to widen the Malahat Drive between Shawni-gan Lake Road north to the Malahat summit is expected to continue through-out the summer as a part of a $15-million

safety improvement project.According to a ministry media release,

crews will not be stopping traf� c on Friday afternoons, weekends and the days before or after long weekends.

But for most weeks, expect delays of up to 20 minutes from Monday to Friday, outside peak travel times.

The Malahat summit rest area will also be closed throughout construction, and a construction zone speed limit of 60 km/h will be in place.

“Motorists are reminded to obey � ag-gers and speed limits and watch for work-ers and updates on the highway message boards,” the release reads.

“The ministry thanks the public in advance for their patience as these safety measures are put in place.”

Motorists are also advised to check DriveBC.ca for weekly updates and follow @tranbc on Twitter for more detailed information about work on the Malahat this summer.

Tribes journeys to protest house being built on burial groundGot a comment or a story?email [email protected]

phone 250-746-4471The Cowichan Tribes joined other First Na-

tions on Salt Spring Island June 21, National Aboriginal Day, to protest the building of a house they say is being built on an ancient burial ground.

Salt Spring Islanders for Justice and Reconciliation and Salt Spring Residents for

Responsible Land Use joined local Coast Salish First Nations to stop what they call the desecration of Grace Islet.

“To put a house on stilts over top of our burial ground is beyond disrespectful, not only of our rights, but of our culture, our an-cestors and our people,” said the Cowichan

Tribes Chief William (Chip) Seymour.The group says it did so in support of its

unceded rights: the right to their land, to bury their dead and to have their deceased and their ancient cemeteries given the same respect as other Canadian citizens.

Police are seeking to put an end to the practices of a couple of guys “driv-ing like idiots’’ on dirt bikes in the Crofton area.

The dirt bike riders have been

disrupting the peace of numerous residents by ripping up and down the streets, overtaking vehicles, and almost hitting a pedestrian trying to cross the street on a mobility scooter, accord-ing to a couple of complaints received by North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP.

“The residents are calling in to police with a bike description, but the riders have full face

helmets and are not easily identi� ed,’’ noted Cpl, Krista Hobday in a media release.

“Numerous patrols are being made in the hopes of catching these individuals before they injure themselves or someone else.’’

One bike is described as yellow and white, the other green and white.

“The police or a witness on their behalf are re-

quired under the Motor Vehicle Act to identify the operator of the motor vehicle when pursu-ing charges under that act,’’ Hobday indicated.

North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP would like anyone with knowledge of who these indi-viduals are to contact them at 250-748-5522 to enable the investigator to make further inquiries and stop these dangerous antics.

Police are asking for the public’s help in � nding a Duncan senior who hasn’t been seen in more than week.

“Harvey Sloan left his residence on June 18, 2014 leaving a note for his landlord stating he wanted to be by himself,” Cpl. Krista Hobday said in a media re-lease. “Mr. Sloan’s landlord called police for assis-tance on June 23, 2014, as Mr. Sloan had not returned home.

“Police have checked the local island hospitals, hotels, and the places Mr. Sloan is known to frequent. This is not typical behaviour for Mr. Sloan.”

Hobday said Sloan, 75, suffers from medical conditions and it is unknown if he has his medication with him.

He is white, 5’11”, and 160 pounds, with brown eyes, grey hair and missing his front teeth. He may be wearing jeans, a button-down western shirt with a T-shirt underneath, and a black cowboy hat. He uses a scooter but has not taken it with him.

Anyone with any information about Sloan’s whereabouts is asked to contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522.

School board cut to seven trusteesSeven trustees will sit on the Cowichan Valley School District 79

Board of Education following elections on Nov. 15.Education Minister Peter Fassbender signed a Ministerial Order to es-

tablish the number of trustees. A media release indicates the decision was reached as a result of continuing input from the community during the past two years regarding the size of the board.

Written and verbal submissions received by Offi cial Trustee Mike McKay and forwarded to Fassbender, were also taken into consideration.

McKay was appointed to his position after the previous nine-member board failed to submit a required balanced budget to the ministry. He will remain in the role until the new board is sworn in after the Novem-ber elections.

Province to curb Malahat construction travel trauma

Valley senior hasn’t been seen in more than a week

Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial

No, you aren’t going to be able to solve the Cowichan River’s � ow issues as they near crisis stage.

Yes, you can make a difference.As lack of snowpack and spring

rain combine for � ows reaching a trickle stage, and of� cials discuss options, the Cowichan Watershed Board is asking the public to step up.

Cut back or cut out your lawn watering, car washing, and running water during teeth brushing, sug-gested the board’s David Slade.

It might not seem like much, but if the thousands who depend on the Cowichan, and its feeding of the surrounding aquifer, step up, it could be the difference the commu-nity needs.

That’s the rationale behind the Cowichan Watershed Board launch-ing a Water Conservation Challenge to valley leaders, businesses and residents.

“Its a valley-wide initiative from Ladysmith to Mill Bay where we’re trying to promote water conserva-tion and sustainability,” Slade said.

Paying attention to how much water you may be wasting is key.

Lake Cowichan has found major leaks thanks to the addition of water meters there, including one

losing 1,700 m3 of water a month. Planned meters in Duncan could help folks gauge their water use, take measures to use less, and save more on water bills — a system now used in Ladysmith, Slade explained.

Ladysmith averages 246 litres per person per day. The Canadian average is around 325; Germany’s average 120, Slade said.

Ladysmith is being cited as a benchmark other valley communi-ties should be aiming for. It has reduced its consumption by 24% in the past decade.

“Ladysmith has shown that cut-ting water waste is not only possible but � nancially prudent,” said Slade.

“They are saving money on infra-structure and energy costs, while addressing growing water problems.

“While total annual precipitation levels haven’t changed much, climate change, a growing population, and other factors are causing summer water shortages.”

Slade reminds residents the issue also involves water conservation in wells and surface water.

“We have a high level of con� -dence there’s a link between water supplies in wells used by Duncan and North Cowichan and water � ows in the river,” said Slade. “We’re working on that (link) with the Cowichan Watershed Board,

the province and (Simon Fraser University).”

The watershed board hopes to issue a Black Tie Award to the community that shows the best reduction in water use according to annual reporting.

“In recent years, we have seen terrible salmon losses and the near shut-down of Catalyst mill which relies on water from Cowichan Lake,” Slade said. “Growing local food also depends on water. We all win by using water wisely.

“Water is a priceless resource but we treat it like it’s worthless and don’t respect the water we’ve been so lucky to have.”

Can you meet the Ladysmith challenge?

Peter W. Rusland/� leCurrent fl ow levels have some wondering if there will be any need for hip-waders in the Cowichan River’s future, or any fi sh to hook.

“ After many years with diminished hearing, trying various hearing aids and various clinics both on the mainland as well as Victoria, I � nally found an audiologist who was able to help me. My results indicated that I have two different hearing problems; Dr. Miranda was able to supply me with hearing aids that are programmable, to address each of these problems separately, yet still work together as a set. The trip from Victoria is a small price to pay for this excellent service.

airstrip is mending at Victoria General Hospi-tal, a family member said Wednesday.

Lorne Fleming’s family gave few details about his injuries or about the mishap that totaled his small, home-made high-wing aircraft.

Fleming was attended by paramedics and fire-fighters during the crash at the runway’s southern end.

At press time, police had released no details about the incident that happened in sunny

weather on the tiny air-field off Glenora Road

A firefighter on scene told the News Leader

Pictorial Fleming was walking and talking after the crash.

Fire crews sprayed fire-

Peter W. RuslandLorrie Jonat, co-owner of Jim’s pools and spas is ready to celebrate Canada Day.


Canada Day carries par-ticular pride for the Jonat family.

While many Cowicha-nians wear Canadian � ag pins, or wave small red-and-white Maple Leafs, the local family displays a giant Canadian � ag that once crowned the West Block on Ottawa’s Parlia-ment Hill.

Lorrie Jonat and hus-band Wes have proudly hung their giant � ag in downtown Duncan’s Jim’s Pools & Spas, a business they recently bought.

Their � ag last � ew atop Parliament on July 11, 2013, just four days before it was mailed by then-pub-lic works and government services minister Rona Ambrose (now health minister).

But Lorrie Jonat admit-ted to forgetting all about registering in 2002 in Ot-tawa’s program that sends authentic � ags to folks who sign for a tour of our Parliament Buildings.

“We were on a family vacation across Canada, toured the Parliament Buildings, and had a great time,” she said.

“You sign your name in a guest book and indicate if you want the � ag that’s � own from the top of the Parliament Buildings.

“Ten years later in came in the mail; I had no idea what it was,” she said of the brown bubble-pack envelope.

“I was shocked at how big it was. I’m so proud of it.”

Proud enough she had her letter from Ambrose signed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper during his visit to Brentwood College School last year.

Jonat signed Parlia-ment’s register again in 2006, aiming to land a second Maple Leaf.

“I hope to have one for each of my identical-twin daughters,” she said of Tembi and Karis, 14, who are Grade 9 students at Duncan Christian School.

While Jonat was delight-fully shocked to receive the huge ensign, she was likewise surprised to learn the Canadian � ag was designed by Duncan’s own Sir Conrad Swan during a term under prime minister Lester B. Pearson.

“I had no idea,” she said.

Cowichan’s unionized ambulance paramedics, care aides, pharmacy technicians and many other health-care

employees helped ratify Tuesday’s five-year deal with the province.

Members of an 11-union coali-tion, ratified their new collective agreement by a vote of 64.6%.

“The agreement between the 11-union Facilities Bargaining Association and government’s bargaining agent — the Health Employers Association of B.C. — covers 47,000 workers in hospitals, care homes, emergency health services, logistics and supply warehouses, and other settings,” a release by the Hospital Employees Union Mike Old says.

“It includes 5.5% in general wage increases, a cap on contracting out of 500 full-time equivalent

positions over the life of the agree-ment, a transition to joint admin-istration of benefits, and continued funding of a union-managed education and skills upgrading program.”

The contract runs from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2019.

The FBA also includes health-re-cords staff, lab and other diagnostic specialists, sterile-supply techs, renal technicians, emergency dispatch-ers, nursing-unit clerks, trades and maintenance workers, activity aides and rehab assistants, IT special-ists, admitting and booking clerks, administrative staff, cleaning and dietary staff, and others.

In a separate set of provisions relating to ambulance paramed-ics and dispatchers, negotiated changes maintain distinct language covering ambulance services while addressing long-standing issues within the collective agreement, Old notes.

The deal was reached after union members delivered a 96% strike mandate to their negotiating team in May.

HEU brass explained the contract gives “some stability and certainty in a sector that’s been racked by privatization and re-structuring.” The HEU represents

about 85% of health-care workers covered by the talks.

A further 14% are represented by CUPE Local 873, the B.C. Government and Service Employ-ees’ Union, and the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 882/882H.

About 1% per cent of workers in the FBA are represented by the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers Local 5.

Cowichan Valley health-care workers reach five-year deal with VictoriaUnion coalition: averts strike with 65% vote to accept 5.5% wage hikes and more to a swath of care staffers

Town of Lake Cowichan staffers and council averted a strike by ratifying a four-year contract Tuesday night.

Workers had served council a 72-hour strike notice last Wednesday.

But Tuesday saw members vote to accept retroactive raises, and to keep their cherished annual floater holiday, by inking the four-year deal with town council.

Administrator Joe Fernandez said his 16 employees, members of the United Steelworkers Local 1-1937, voted 64% in favour of the deal

retroactive to June 15, 2013.“Council voted in favour of that

(acceptance) also,” he said.Terms give Lake Cowichan’s

inside and outside workers a 45¢ per hour wage hike, retroactive to June 15, 2013.

Starting June 15, 2014 , they receive a 1% per hour raise — and will get a 1% raise every six months until the contract expires in June 2017, he explained.

Town employees earned an average of $28.15 an hour before the new deal. They will receive no increase in pensions, but did gain

some minor additions to their benefits, Fernandez noted.

The contract followed a year of talks that eventually crumbled. On May 30, USW members voted 88% in favour of strike action.

June 5 saw the USW bargain-ing committee given what a union release called an ultimatum: accept the town’s May 27 offer, before the end of day June 14, or the entire first-year raise would drop to zero.

Things changed by June 24 and ushered the worker vote on accept-ing the town’s terms.

The case forWhy is it that whenever someone

wants to put something on that appeals to younger people, the naysayers come out in full force?

In the world of music festivals, Rock of the Woods is a small, well-regulated, well-run show, where a few hundred younger adults get together in a remote location to have a bit of fun and enjoy some music, not be a nuisance.

The harm is in people’s minds.

Jay SiskaNews Leader Pictorial

A couple months ago when I wrote about the CBC, I was writing — in part — about technology as well.

I’m not about to revisit the debate about our national broadcaster, but I am going to address how technology plays such a transformative part of how all media is consumed these days.

Last Friday I listened to a live, call-in radio show — on the internet exclusively — where the host was in a hotel room at New York’s Waldorf Astoria, and the phone screener, producer, and engineer were back at the show’s home studio in Burbank, Calif.

This was made possible by technology, and a lot of bandwidth.

The production was so phenomenal, it sounded like any other day when the host was in the studio, sitting or standing in front

of the microphone, like he does � ve days a week.

I listened to the show on my phone via the tunein app.

I was waking up on Monday — still in bed and on Facebook using my phone —when I saw Ian Tootil from SENSE BC was going to be a guest on Victoria’s AM 1070 CFAX in, like, 30 seconds.

Do you think I got up and ran to a radio and franticly attempted to dial in a signal?

No. I � red-up tunein again and was good-to-go for the 30 minute segment — just this side of instantly.

I’ve got two devices in my house that are capable of receiving radio signals, but they simply aren’t set up for that because I have no antenna and no TV cable either. If I want to listen to any traditional radio I use tunein and my phone, and then plug it in to my stereo with a 1/4” cable.

Tunein claims more than 50 million users, accessing more than 100,000 “real” radio

stations, and more than four million podcast programs, and it’s just one of a number of similar mobile apps.

That’s what every traditional bricks-and-mortar broadcaster with a trans-mitter is up against.

The National Post reported Thursday morning the CBC’s new � ve-year strategic plan essentially inverts its priority structure from television/radio/on-line/mobile to mobile/on-line/radio/television.

The landscape of traditional media is changing, and how media is consumed is ever-evolving.

Traditional media is being forced to keep up and � gure out a place in the market where each broadcaster can � nd a pro� t-able, dedicated, audience and bring quality content to that group via the device they use to consume it.

It’s less “broad”casting, and more “fo-cused” casting.

Technological innovation has made it easy

for people with speci� c tastes — no matter how obscure those tastes may be — to access the content they want. If they aren’t already, they can be converted into ardent fans of a broadcaster if, and only if the quality of its product is top-notch.

The second it’s not top-notch, people will bail because there’s so much more out there.

Technology has blown the marketplace apart, and for the better.

It’s going to be up to all traditional broad-casters (music, talk, whatever) to grab those scattered pieces, harness the tech, and get back to work.Jay Siska writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial. Reach him at [email protected].

Technology means traditional media needs to adapt

Give the CBC what it needs so it can do its jobNetworking: our country needs what it provides

Two News Leader Pictorial columnists generated a lot of discussion recently by weighing in on the pros and cons of the CBC.

With the cutbacks announced yesterday by the network we want to add our voice. Our take is

simple: the CBC is important and needs to be protected. How could a community newspaper take any other position?

From where we sit, the CBC plays the exact same role for Canada, as we do for Cowichan: being a voice that connects people and helps cement our status as a community.

We’re about Cowichan athletes, authors, musicians, issues and people making a difference in their commu-nities. The CBC is about Canadian athletes, authors, musicians, issues and people making a difference in their communities.

We allow people in Mill Bay to connect with people in Maple Bay

and Chemainus. They allow people in Duncan to connect with people in Medicine Hat and Moncton.

It’s about connecting, and connections make us stronger. The cuts are sweeping: by 2020, the network will have between

1,000 and 1,500 fewer employees. No station closures are planned, but newscasts are being scaled back and the produc-tion of documentaries reduced signi� cantly. We are already seeing gaps in the afternoon, as CBC Radio broadcasts reruns.

And we do not see the private sector stepping up to � ll the gap if the CBC goes down, any more than it does for many other valued community services.

There may be questions about whether taxpayers’ dollars can be used more ef� ciently. We have no problem with making the CBC brass answer those questions.

We do have a problem with not giving the network the re-sources it needs to do its job.

We say:Community connections too valuable to lose

Dark history doesn’t mean dark present inevitableDear editor

Chief Chip Seymour and your June 18 Our take are absolutely right. As Aboriginal people, we all have some form of relation-ship with residential schools whether we acknowledge that or not. People, including those in the ivory tower over in Stephen Harper’s Conservative Ottawa, forget the last residential school in the country closed its doors only 18 years ago, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have to take full responsibility for our actions and the negative impacts that follow. The point here is to learn from our past and grow from it together, rather than pin it as a crutch and use it as an excuse when found useful. Being an ur-ban Aboriginal is a dif� cult path to walk, but we all have the ability to make choices — to choose a path of violence and darkness as a direct or indirect result of residential school syndrome, or to overcome that part of our past and practise the ancestors’ teach-ings: respect, courage, humility, truth and honesty. William Elliot made his choice. Yours was a fair, clear and concise article. Thanks for posting it. Celina Albany comments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

Was this some kind of two-for-one murder special?Dear editor

What disturbs me about the William Elliott sentence is the two-for-the-price-of-one nature

of it. Two brutal murders. And two “life sentences, with no eligibility of parole for 20 years.” But the sentences are to be served “concurrently” that is, “at the same time.” There was a time in Canadian jurisprudence, and I can clearly remember covering these cases in my days as a reporter, when these kinds of sentences were “consecutive.” In other words, when the � rst 20-year win-dow was over, the second one would start. Honestly, I’m not even sure judges can do that anymore.

Each of these cases — on its own — was egregiously violent and evil. If he’d only been charged with one of the murders — either one — he would almost certainly have received quite a bit more than the 10-year minimum. So, for the sake of argument, let’s say he would have been given 15 years for the Stone murder. Does that mean Tyeshia’s life was only worth � ve additional years? And the same question

could be asked in reverse.This, in my opinion, is why

the “justice system” is losing so much credibility in the minds of so many Canadians.Al Siebringcomments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

This is what putting value to education looks likeDear editor

I am a teacher of Grade 11 and 12 courses at the Adult Learning Centre in Duncan. I am also a parent of two children who cur-rently go to elementary school in the public education system. I am looking at the current situ-ation of education today and I think you should look with me. What you see might shock you.

Look at two buildings; the one on the right houses the Art, Biology, Math, and English 12 classes at my school, the one on the left houses the Art, History, Languages, and Shop classes at an independent school (ie. private school) located minutes away from my school:

Something is wrong with this picture.

Why should public students have to endure learning condi-tions which are in such stark contrast to that in the private sector? The answer: They don’t have to. If our government val-ued students who attend public schools, if they truly cared about our students, they would invest the monies necessary. Until that day, I continue to work at a site where rats defecate and where the ceiling is leaking and falling inward in a slow-motion death-spiral.Mel Burgess Cowichan

BCTF demands out of touch with Canadian realityDear editor

It is time for B.C. teachers to face the reality of what is happening in the rest of Canada. The govern-ments of B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island, are negotiat-ing contract with the teachers.

Alberta’s contract ending in 2015, is four years, with three years of frozen wages, a 2% raise and a cash bonus in the fourth year. Saskatch-ewan’s last contract ending in 2013, was a four-year contract with a 5.5% wage increase. Manitoba’s last contract ending in 2013, was a four-year contract with a 7.5% wage increase. Ontario’s present contract ending in 2014, is a two-year contract with frozen wages. Quebec’s present contract ending in 2015, is a � ve-year contract, with a 5.6% wage increase. Nova Scotia’s present contract ending in 2015, is a three-year contract with a 5.5% wage increase. Newfoundland’s last contract ending in 2012, was a four-year contract with a wage increase of 5%. Prince Edward Island’s last contract ending in 2013, was a two-year contract with frozen wages. New Brunswick’s present contract ending in 2016, is a four-year con-tract with a wage increase of 4%.

Here in B.C., the government offered the teachers a six-year con-tract, with a 7.25% wage increase and a $1,200 signing bonus if the contract is signed by June 30, 2014. Not good enough for B.C. teach-ers. They want a wage increase of 9.75% over a four-year contract. These are completely outrageous wage demands in comparison to what teachers have negotiated in the other nine provinces.Joe SawchukDuncan

Numerous items stolen from ve-hicles were recovered after a man was caught in the act of trying to add to his haul and was eventu-ally chased down by police.

Shawnigan Lake RCMP received a call at 6

a.m. Saturday when a Cobble Hill homeowner noticed a man walking up to his parked truck and then entering it. The homeowner chased the man away and obtained the license number of a green Dodge Neon fleeing the scene.

Shawnigan RCMP located the suspect vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed on the Trans-Canada Highway and heading toward Victoria.

The driver did not pull over when police

attempted to stop him. Westshore RCMP and Victoria police agencies were notified of the vehicle heading in that direction and the circumstances of the pursuit.

A 30-year-old driver of the Neon was later located by Westshore RCMP. He was taken into custody and the vehicle seized.

North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP received numerous reports of thefts from vehicles in the

Cowichan Bay/Cobble Hill area that occurred on the previous night.

Many suspected items were recovered from the Neon and Shawnigan RCMP turned them over to North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP for return to their owners.

All items taken were from unlocked vehicles. Police advise people to lock all vehicle doors and homes to protect property.

Paving the Way to a More Beautiful Home

Here are the Top 10 Things you can do to ensure you get the best value for your hard earned dollar:

1. Ask for a free, written, very detailed quotation indicating square metres of paving and average compacted thickness of asphalt and gravel.

2. Ask for a business card with at least contact name and phone number on it

3. Do not pay until the job is complete to your satisfaction 4. For best results request only new asphalt mix 5. Ask for a written warranty 6. Ask for more than one quotation and compare them carefully 7. Beware of an off-island “deal”. How likely will they do any

warranty work when they aren’t from here? 8. Never be rushed into a decision and basically there is no such thing

as “left over asphalt” 9. Ask where you can see examples of the Contractor’s other work in

the area and go look at it10. Make sure one of your quotes is from Duncan Paving! We’ve been

serving our customers for over 70 years and we’re proud of our work!

Concrete steps in the labour wars of 1970Dateline 1970: Unions, offi cials protest BambertonAnn AndersenNews Leader Pictorial

If ever cornered for this paper’s Valley People, I would con� de for the “Most people don’t know” question that I once worked at the Bamberton cement plant.

The stint was brief and during 1970’s summer of labour discontent. Some 1,500 Crofton pulp and paper

mill and Chemainus lumber mill employees returned to work mid-June when pickets of the Canadian Merchant Service Guild were removed during a towboat strike.

Meanwhile, a motorcade organized by IWA Local 1-80, Carpenters and Joiners Union and Pulp and Paper Workers of Canada on its way to the Victoria legislature descended on Bamberton Cement Company to protest the company’s policy not to sell cement to local contractors.

North Cowichan mayor Gerry Smith said local contractors had been aborted in their attempt to get cement from Bamber-ton as a group, although a barge travelling to the United States was taking on a load of thousands of tonnes of cement.

“The contractors were told there was no market for cement because of the construction lockout,” Smith explained.

“This concerns the whole Cowichan Valley, and if Bamber-ton will not support the local contractors then many will go broke,” the mayor said.

Andrew LeongNorth Cowichan firefighters secure the scene of Friday’s three-vehicle crash at Beverly Street and the Island Highway, where unconfirmed injuries occurred.


Minor injuries were suf-fered during Friday’s 11 a.m. triple-

vehicle crash at the Island Highway-Beverly Street intersection.

News Leader Pictorial lens-man Andrew Leong said it appeared the collision oc-curred when a black BMW, northbound on the Trans-Canada Highway, turned left onto Beverly, then hit a van attempting to travel through the lights.

“The BMW’s front is totaled, but its female driver managed to walk out herself,

with minor injuries,” he said.Witnesses said the BMW

spun several times before stopping in the intersection, he added.

One other car, possibly a grey VW, seemed to have clipped another car, then hit a fence, Leong noted.

The scene was attended by North Cowichan firefight-ers, paramedics, and police — who are investigating the crash’s cause.

Mounties blocked Beverly and Canada, and other traffic routes feeding the highway from Beverly, Leong said.

The scene was cleared around noon. RCMP were unavailable for comment by press time.

Three-car crash snarls highway through Duncan Friday

Ross ArmourNews Leader Pictorial

Work on Lake Cowichan’s new Ren-frew Town Square is “back on track” according to the Town of Lake Cowichan’s superintendent of public works.

Originally, the town square was supposed to have been completed by the end of June, with the likely finish date now the middle of July.

But that is good news for the town’s council that was beginning to fear the work may not be completed until the end of July.

“Basically the work is back on track,” said super-intendent Nagi Rizk at a recent town committee meeting.

Rizk confirmed work on the new stage at the town square will then move onto paving.

Apex Landscaping is the company working on the square, visible next to the new Vancouver Island Regional Library in Lake Cowichan.

“They are working on walls and seating and the paving is about to start,” said Rizk. “This week we should start to see it all taking shape. Mid July is a safe completion date.”

Despite being saddened initially that the work had fallen behind, Mayor Ross Forrest was delighted to hear the positive news from Rizk.

“I’m glad it’s back on track and going well,” said Forrest at the meeting. “It’s starting to take shape and then people will be able to see what it looks like.”

Councillor Bob Day asked Rizk if the building con-tractor Apex has a plan in place to repave the parking lot entrance to the library.

“Yes, the plan is to do that when the paving work starts,” said Rizk, who also confirmed that any liabil-ity problems lie in the hands of the contractor and not the Town of Lake Cowichan.

“We are getting the signs back for the town square from the Advisory Planning Commission soon and they are going to look nice.”

Flossing your teeth is an important part of good oral hygiene. If you haven’t flossed in the past 24 hours, chances are you are putting your dental health at unnecessary risk. Here’s a good

suggestion. Keep a package of floss next to your TV-watching chair. Then you can watch and floss at the same time.

Poor-fitting shoes can play havoc with your feet. Bunions are caused by shoes that are too tight. Women suffer the majority of foot problems that also include hammertoes and neuromas (thickened, painful nerves in the forefoot making walking difficult). The solution? Wider shoes. Not as fashionable but your feet will thank you.

In summer, the sun’s rays are stronger and certain medications can interact with sunlight to cause rashes. When we fill a prescription for you, we check the other drugs you are taking and if any of them may cause this sun/drug interaction we’ll let you know.

Most women will take medications at some point during their pregnancy. Safety of the drug to the fetus is of paramount importance.

Our pharmacists are familiar with the safety of medications in pregnancy. If you’re pregnant, before you take a medication, talk about it. There are safe medications for use in pregnancy and we can help you choose.



Whatever floats your boat is more than just a saying.

It’s also one of the instructions for those participating in the Fast and Furious Boat Building Challenge

being held next month at the Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre’s Small Wooden Boat Festival. The festival runs from July 5 to 6.

Here’s how it works: teams of two to four people have three hours to build a boat from scratch, before racing it in the water. Teams are limited to $100 in materials; can only use hand, not power tools; can’t pre-cut panels, transoms, molds or bulkheads; and can’t pre-assemble their boats.

“Blue styrofoam, we prefer that over white, it doesn’t break up as much, plywood, anything that floats,” maritime centre manager Sheila McLeod said.

A minimum of two people must be on board during the race, which consists of a sailing and rowing/pad-dling leg. The race will be held at Kil-Pah-Les beach.

Entrants will be judged on: best costume, first to finish building, best clean-up of their building site, most original design and first to finish the sailing and paddling race.

If that sounds like fun, and you want to register, or want more information before deciding, call 250 746-4955 or [email protected]. The entry fee is $50.

In addition to the boat building challenge, half hour boat trips up the Cowichan Estuary from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. are being offered for the first time in the festival’s history. Those interested should sign up Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

This year’s focus is on small wooden boats. McLeod says small means power, row or sailboats up to 22 feet.

“The wooden boats is a little something different to focus on,” she said. “We’re hoping to get boats from all over Vancouver Island, the San Juan’s, all over the Pacific Northwest.”

Other events include a people’s choice award for attendees favourite small boat and sailing, power and row boat demonstrations.

Boat races run Saturday. There’s the “Seagull all out and out race” — that’s the small engine, not the bird — and rowing races to boot.

For those hungry for some chow, there’s a pancake breakfast and a salmon barbecue to look forward to.

The popular event — which has been held for 29 years — was cancelled in 2011, because of a lack of volunteers. If you like being near the water, or want to ensure the celebration goes ahead, contact McLeod and her staff at the centre.

Peter W. RuslandCowichan Green Community’s newest grassroots project Sharing Our Seed Stories in-volves valley seniors, gardeners and youths.


Seed-saving stories from valley seniors are being document-ed by the Cowichan Green Community.

The project Sharing Our Seed Stories is designed to document historic seed-saving practices in Cowichan, and to share that knowledge with the commu-nity, a CGC release reads.

SOSS is being taxpayer funded by Ottawa’s New Ho-rizons For Seniors Program, seeking valley seniors wishing to take part, and share their tales and practices about local and heritage seeds.

Young gardeners and farm-ers are also invited to partici-

pate, and glean “invaluable” smarts from valley elders, the CGC says.

Seed saving, in an era when seeds are at risk by genetic modification, is a critical aspect of food security — and CGC’s mandate is to make Cowichan more food resilient and secure.

“Acting as mentors to seniors, community members and youths interested in seed saving, this project will also produce a series of digital stories that chronicles these anecdotes of seed saving in the Cowichan region, CGC’s Judy Stafford says.

You can’t keep a good man down.

And as Martha Stewart would say, that’s a good thing, especially for those who love

the Duncan-Cowichan Festival Society’s 39 days of July, which starts June 27.

June 10 was the day that a good man — festival and event promoter and commu-nity � xture Longevity John Falkner’s body let him down.

He suffered a stroke. But he’s not about to let a little thing like that stop him from putting on, as Ed Sullivan used to say, a really good show.

The show must go on. And it will. Ac-cording to Falkner, that’s a promise.

“It will take more than a stroke to keep me down,” he said.

As word spread and locals fretted about whether the festival they love would be can-celled, helpful hands magically appeared. Falkner said thanks to those unsung heroes and volunteers, the show will be as good as in year’s past.

The fact is he’s adding, not subtracting things from the festival’s agenda. Mexican dance bands to name a few.

“Enough people have stepped forward to get this done. For all those who have stepped forward, I say ‘thank you,’” the event promoter said. “And for those who haven’t, I’ll catch up with you later.”

Falkner said there are too many people to thank, to mention them all here. A “soon-to-be-good friend,” from Harrison Hot Springs who has run festivals before and his own club has stepped up in a big way. But there’s only so much he can do.

“He doesn’t know how to run the festival, I’m the only one who does,” he said. “It’s my mind, my show.”

According to Falkner, he left the hospital June 19 with his doctor’s blessing, even if it was a couple of weeks before people with similar symptoms normally do.

“They said I appeared to be doing quite well and that I could do my physio at home,” he said. “My girlfriend, Georgina Foster, is taking good care of me. She’s keeping my spirits up.”

Coaches and self-help gurus would undoubtedly be interested in bottling what-ever Falkner is using, to keep him going on, despite his stroke.

“Offering live music every day of my life keeps me going. The reports over the years about the festival, everyone loves it, with those reports I can’t not go on.”

Motivated by people’s encouragement, he’s working hard to earn a clean bill of health.

“People have been great, they’ve told me to keep working at it, it’s a process of reconnecting the dots,” he said. “I’m having fun discovering how to do that.”

That kind of prodding, something that he says only a small town can do, is what makes him passionate about Duncan and small town living. It’s why he loves living here too.

Falkner’s passion, and determination, despite what could be daunting odds are part of what he calls a � ve-year plan to entrench 39 days.

“I’m getting rid of Drunken Duncan,” he said, while referring to Duncan’s former reputation.

His new motto?“A rather fun place to be.”Which is what most people would think

if they see a long-haired, six-foot � ve-inch

man riding along down the street on his two-wheel scooter.

“I’m working on my balance, that’s how people will know I’m doing well; if they see me on the street on my scooter.

Musicians will be spreading the jam in Crofton jazz season fi naleGot a comment or a story?email [email protected] 250-746-4471

The end is near for the Crofton jazz series and organizers are hoping the fi nish is “jam”-packed.

Vocalist Dirk Ouellette and the Not Yet Quartet are hoping for a little help from their friends during Sunday’s season fi nale.

The band invites local musicians to join them on the stage at the Crofton Hotel Pub for a jam

session in the fi nal hour of the last regular concert in the weekly jazz series until September.

Would-be performers are advised to check in with stage manager Preston Davies, the band’s guitarist, who suggests vocalists should bring their own charts while books will be available for instrumentalists.

Rounding out the band are John Robertson on bass, Nick Jarvie on drums and vocalist/pianist Jo Wright, a newcomer to the Cowichan Valley, sitting in for Dave Lieffertz on keyboards.

The concert is Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. at the pub, 1534 Joan Ave. in Crofton. Admission is $10. For information, call 250-324-2245.

McCONNELL, Doneen (Dawn) Lynn

Passed away peacefully at 10pm Friday May 30th, 2014 in Grand Forks, BC surrounded by family and loved ones. Dawn was born July 26th,1948 in Nanaimo BC to Hugh and Dolores Mellson and spent her childhood in the Saanich area later marrying Howard McConnell of Birnie Manitoba on October 4th, 1969. Dawn was a friend to many in the Cowichan area while she tenured as a Cashier at Shoppers Drug Mart in Duncan from 1971 to 1987 and later in White Rock from 1987 to 2006. Dawn and Howard resided happily and raised their children in Cobble Hill before relocating the family to White Rock in 1987. Dawn and Howard retired to Midway, BC in 2006 where they enjoyed a sunny retirement at their home on the bank of the Kettle River. There, Dawn had many good friends and tended to her lovely yard and family. Dawn had a very short but accelerated struggle this spring, and made the choice to leave peacefully rather than continue a battle she could not win. We the family are very thankful for the overwhelming support offered by friends and family during this difficult time and wish extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you for your support and generosity.Those who knew Dawn knew that she was happiest when she was laughing with her friends and family, or outdoors in her perfectly-tended yard and garden. Dawn loved pasta, music (Elvis in particular), sparkly clothing and dancing with her pets. She also loved a good campfire after a hard day of yard work where a big plate of grilled cheese sandwiches were always on the menu.Dawn is survived by her Husband Howard, children Jason McConnell (Karen), Lisa McConnell-Furlong (Francis) and Denika Osmond (Mark) her siblings Patricia Hamilton (Bob), Richard Mellson (Karen), Ron Mellson (Teresa) and Paul Mellson, her Grandchildren Ashley, Matthew, Amy and Blake and pre deceased by Dawn Cleasby (Ralph)We would like to thank the wonderful healthcare professionals at Kelowna General Hospital and a special thank you to the team who helped make Dawn comfortable during her stay at the Boundary Hospital Palliative Care Unit in Grand Forks, BC.

Cowichan Valley Mustangs are the Greater Victoria Baseball Association’s Bantam AA champions after squeezing out a 4-3

win over Layritz at Lambrick Park. Brandon Langer executed a perfect

bunt to score Cole Anderson in the fifth inning with what turned out to be the winning run.

The Mustangs shut down Layritz over the final three innings. Nick Yu closed it out with solid pitching for two

shutout innings.Yu was also instrumental in the Mus-

tangs’ 11-0 trouncing of Gordon Head in the previous playoff semifinal at Evans Park in Duncan. He hit a walk-off two-run homer on the heels of an inside-the-park home run by Cameron LeSergent.

Anderson came only a couple of pitches short of a complete-game shutout in the win.

Layritz knocked off Carnarvon 5-3 in the other semifinal to advance against the Mustangs for the cham-pionship that turned out to be a barnburner.

submittedChampion Cowichan Valley Mustangs, front row from left, include: Tanner Cummings, Brayden Rad-cliffe, Zach Waddington, Cameron LeSergent, Andrew Strobl. Back: Wade Radcliffe (coach), Tod LeSer-gent (coach), Anthony McLachlan, Kale Eddy, Nick Yu, Jame McMahon, Micah Anderson (coach), Bran-don Langer, Mario Iannidinardo (coach), Cole Anderson. Absent: Matt Miller.

Registration numbers were down slightly but the enthusiasm went way up during the South Cowichan

Youth Softball Association season that ended in dramatic fashion Sunday with some great games at the Kerry Park ball fields.

About 220 players took part in the association’s co-ed recreational leagues this season.

“We have plans in the works to make it (go) up a bit,’’ said Dalyce Waldner, who returned to the presidency from past-president when her replacement elected not to continue.

In the Major Division for 16- to 19-year-olds, Mill Bay Storage won the championship over Hy-peractive Design. South Cowichan Storage received the most sports-manlike team award.

The Senior Division for 13- to 15-year-olds ended with Heritage House Trophies winning the championship over Shawnigan Jet Ski. Heritage House was also named the most sportsmanlike team.

The Intermediate Division for

10- to 12-year-olds was a great story.

“We had huge numbers in intermediate,’’ said Waldner. “We should have had five teams.

“That’s good news because a lot of those kids will be moving up to senior next year.’’

Of the four teams that played intermediate, Mason’s came out of nowhere to win gold over Drillwell Enterprises.

Mason’s struggled during most of the season. “They had a young,

inexperienced team,’’ said Waldner.But the players stuck with it and

the coaches arranged extra practic-es. The team improved immensely and won big in the end while also capturing the most sportsmanlike team trophy.

Other divisions included: Junior for seven- to nine-year-olds and Peewee for five- to seven-year-olds. There was some crossover for the seven-year-olds, with the better, more experienced players moving up.

WE DO CLUTCHES



A burst of sunlight hit the as-sembled racers just as the 30th anniversary running of the Chemainus Twilight Shuffle was about to start

Tuesday at 7 p.m.It was almost like a shining tribute

to an event that’s graced the streets of downtown Chemainus for so many years, going from a four-mile event to a more conventional three-mile race in recent years.

The Shuffle’s had its ups-and-downs and times when organizer Phil Nicholls wondered whether it might continue, especially after last year’s horrendous conditions when the turnout dipped to barely 150.

But the anniversary helped the race rebound to 235 registered runners and walkers and provided Nicholls some optimism that it’s on the rebound.

“It really had dropped off,’’ he said. “That part (the increase) is great to see.’’

Nicholls has toyed with the idea of making many changes. “I did do it a little later this year,’’ he said.

Otherwise, it’s difficult to find a weekend in the spring and summer that might not conflict with other events and bring a better turnout. The evening aspect remains its unique attribute and could generate renewed interest with

younger athletes just discovering it.“A lot of people had heard of it and a

lot hadn’t,’’ conceded Nicholls.The relatively short distance of the

race lends itself to some fast times and Bruce Deacon was the quickest of the 213 finishers in a sizzling 16:13.

Jill Ramstead was the first female finisher in 19:10.

We even had a friendly family race going, as I returned to run the event for the first time in many years.

Five of my other family members left me in the dust — sister Linda Bevan finishing in 23:32 and the rest of the Bodger clan, brother Dave clocked in 24:46, sister-in-law Tracey in 24:58, and brother Doug and niece Rachel coming in together in 26:37.

It took me 33:23 to finish, but wait till next year.

Full results are at Nicholls’ website, www. islandrunner.ca.

He hopes this will fuel a comeback for the Shuffle as it moves into the next 30 years, with support from the Che-mainus Legion membership and other volunteers playing a huge role.


The Queen Margaret’s School equestrian team recently completed one of its strongest show seasons ever during the Kelowna Spring Classic and the Thunderbird Cana-dian Premier Show in Langley.

QMS team members travelled to Kelowna for the first time in many years.

“It was a new venue for us,’’ explained head coach Cheryl Keith. “Yet, our team felt very comfortable there and enjoyed really strong performances.’’

Grade 11 student Olivia Austin was a winner in the Leigh Payne Memorial Classic and reserve champion Pre-Child Hunter on Del Rio.

Christine Coels, a Grade 10 student, rode Landmark to the Short Stirrup Hunter and Pre-Child Hunter championships as well as second place in the Leigh Payne Memorial Classic.

Catherine Rankin, another Grade 10 student, was the Children’s Hunter champion and Modified Hunter reserve champion on Go Shorty.

Two weeks of competition at Thunderbird Show Park for the Canadian Premier Show and B.C. Open is always a highlight for QMS riders.

“Thunderbird is a fabulous facility,’’ said Keith. “The high level of competition allows our students to push themselves in the hunter/jumper ring.’’

For Grade 10 student Kassidy Keith, it was a valuable lesson in perseverance.

“I fell so many times throughout the competition,’’ she laughed. “But it made me work that much harder to improve my riding and connect more closely with the horses I rode. What an incredible expe-rience.’’

Keith rode three different horses at the competition. She came first on Watch Out in Junior Hunter, first on Quintera in Children’s Jumper and swept first place for USEF Show Jumping Talent Search and Washington Hunter/Jumper Medal Phases as well as taking the Junior A Equitation championship on Will I Am.

Austin captured the reserve championship for Show Park Hunter and Pre-Children’s Hunter and second for Pre-Children’s/Adult Hunter Classic on Del Rio.

Lauren Bailey, a Grade 12 student, was the champion 1.0m Junior Amateur Jumper on Loustik de Breuil. Coach Keith rode to second in USHJA Hunter Derby and claimed two wins in first-year Green Hunter on Go Shorty.

See photo of Kassidy Keith with this story on our website at www.cowichannewsleader.com.

Smitty’s pitching combines with robinson and Steen hitting powerGot a sports story?email [email protected] 250-856-0045 Rick Smith pitched a five-hitter

with 18 strikeouts and only gave up three unearned runs, as Duncan Gord Closson Forest Products won another Nanaimo Senior Men’s Fastball League game Tuesday.

Duncan knocked off Nanaimo Pal-ladian 8-3 at Glenora’s Waldon Park.

The heavy hitting came from Marty Steen and Brad Robinson, who combined for seven of the team’s 11 hits. Steen went four-for-four with four runs and three RBIs, including a two-run homer in the sixth inning, while Robinson was three-for-four with a solo homer in the fifth and

three runs scored.Bob Court added a hit, a run and

an RBI, Smith managed a hit and an RBI, Dennis Young made a hit count for two RBIs and Trevor Gicas was left stranded in the fourth after a lead-off triple.

Next game is July 3 in Cedar.

Twilight run sunlight a highlight

It’s going to be an es-pecially busy July for five young valley athletes.

Luke Armstrong, Miles Boulton, Emma Dewit, Brenden Kerwin and Emerald White are 14- and 15-year-olds representing Cowichan in track and field at the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo and also going to soccer provincials on the Lower Mainland.

White (steeplechase), Boulton (triple jump) and Kerwin (800 metres) are all CVAC additions with Denise Roy, Sion Griffiths and Armstrong.

Safety Tip:As the summer BBQ season and Canada Day celebrations kick off, it’s important to remember how deadly of a combination drinking and driving can be. Arrange for

a designated driver or use other options to get home safely.

Question of the WeekBob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills?

Lincoln luxury at a non-premium priceSanta Barbara, Calif. - The MKC is the first (luxury) compact utility vehicle from Lin-coln and, while related, it’s very different from the Ford Escape. Development of both vehicles started with Ford’s global “C” platform, but other than its base 2.0 litre turbo-engine, the MKC has little else in common with its Ford counterpart. All-wheel-drive is standard (in Canada) on all three editions of the MKC and a start price just under $40,000 is also inviting compared to other luxury CUVs such as the Acura RDX ($41,390) and BMW X3 ($42,800). (A top-line Ford Escape, by the way, is listed at $35,699). The MKC is the second of four all-new product launches intended to redefine Lincoln. The first being the Lincoln MKZ last year, an all-new MKX is expected next year and a, so-far unnamed, full-sized sedan will follow. The new Lincoln styling theme includes smooth clean lines a slick shape (described as “graceful ath-leticism”) and up front, there’s a contemporary take on the traditional Lincoln split-wing grille.Another eye-catching feature of the MKC is around back, a huge wraparound lift gate includes full-width LED rear lighting assemblies. This unique one-piece hydro-formed steel door opens like a clamshell and allows complete access to the cargo area. An optional hands-free feature also allows it to open with a kick-ing motion below the rear bumper. The MKC also has a roomy feel to its interior, particu-larly for front seat occupants. A dash that slants away, towards the windshield, adds to its airy ambiance. It’s also a much quieter cabin than its stable mate, with numerous built-in sound deadening features that in-clude a noise control system that eliminates unwanted sound waves and enhances others. Available inside accent trims include brushed alumi-num or open-pore Zebrano and Santos Rosewood that

can be matched with standard, made in Scotland, Bridge of Weir “Deepsoft” leather upholstery. The premium car ex-perience actually starts as you approach the MKC with an accent welcoming lighting feature that’s automatically ac-tivated (by the key fob) when an owner is within 2.4 metres (8-ft). Our 320-kilometre-plus route took us away from the coast along the scenic Jacento Reyes Byway. This lightly trav-elled twisty two-lane road gets narrow in sections. It also presented some spectacular vistas along the way and some intimidating cliff faces and rock formations.I was impressed with the MKC’s predict-able handling characteristics through the twisty sections. It was stable, very forgiving at higher speeds and generally more agile than expected for a utility

vehicle - especially after I finally figured out how to set-up the driving modes, called Lincoln Drive Control. The normal, comfort and sport settings for the sus-pension and steering are preset (via vehicle settings on the instrument panel and customizable to a limited extent) by a driver to function with “D” and “S” transmission selections. It’s a different and somewhat complex way of providing this feature. Push-button transmission selection is another feature that I wouldn’t get excited about. I get the space-sav-ing functionality and the historic connection to Lin-coln, but still prefer a shift lever. Manual operation of the transmission’s six speeds can be done via paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The shifts, however, could be crisper and the system tends to be very pro-tective of the engine (over-revving) on downshifts. Only MKC vehicles with the new 2.3-litre twin-scroll turbo engine were available to drive at this U.S. event, which would price tag them close to $50,000 in Can-ada. An impressively smooth and quiet performer (in this application) this engine can produce 285-horse-

power compared to the base 2.0-litre’s 240-horsepow-er, which is the top engine in an Escape. As you might expect, the 2.0L engine gets better fuel economy, but the difference is minimal and both can run on regular grade fuel. All the latest driver-assist technologies are avail-able with MKC including, adaptive cruise control, a collision warning system, blind-sport alert, cross-traffic alert and park assist, with a unique new wrinkle... park-out assist. This added feature can now auton-omously steer that MKC out of that tight parallel parking spot into which it put the MKC! Lincoln may be a little late in joining the booming compact luxury utility club, but the MKC is certainly an impressively well put-together new member and it’s priced to sell.

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Wishing you a safelong weekend

driveway

They are Miata mates for lifeStowe, Vermont – Despite the relatively early call time, a group of almost 100 Mazda Miata/MX-5 drivers/passengers gathers for the morning’s meeting.The weather is looking favourable even though the a.m. envelops the crowd with its chilliness. It’s not raining though. That’s a good sign.Tour organizer and former Trillium Miata Club presi-dent, Gary Svoboda, talks about the day’s journey,

addresses some basic housekeeping rules, makes some jokes and engages in witty banter with a group of excited Miata enthusi-asts.Everyone is ready to hit the roads of Vermont in their tiny, drop top, two-doors. Everything from first gener-ations Miatas, to the latest and greatest rear-wheel drive roadsters line the gravel parking lot of our home base, also known as the Stowehof Inn.Stowe, VT’s claim to fame is as a ski destination. Currently, its claim to fame

is the 46 Mazdas that drove in from Ontario and are congregating for their annual tour.Each May long weekend, a group of club members look forward to the event. It’s been going for over 20 years and hasn’t disap-pointed. The crowd gets rowdier by the minute so go-time is just around the corner.The meeting wraps up; we branch into our respective groups and fire up the engines. As honorary members for the event, my co-pilot –

aka my mother Zsuzsanna Straub– and I get behind the wheel of our MX-5. Within moments, we’re topless. The car. Not us!Seven vehicles comprise a group, including a leader and a sweeper. We’re comfortably nestled in the bosom of the pack. Our job is to enjoy our-selves, as well as give the MX-5 a little bit of room to romp free.It’s hard not to smile on the undulating roads of Vermont, which are lined with trees, houses, fields and topped off with a bovine scent!Then there is what is called “The Notch.” A mountain road where emaciated limbs of indigenous trees

look like they’re reaching out and trying to touch the cars. Boulders are scattered and the path is paved around it. The intermittent obstacles would likely be the outcome of two Greek gods having a rock fight. You would have to have superhuman strength to move them.The sinuous and slender road is a hoot to drive through especially with no one in front of you. The occasional crackling on the CB radios frequently is overpowered by instruc-tions from the leader. Like a mother duck summoning her young, we followed in order. We stuck together and took in some breathtaking scenery of New England. Scenery

aside, what was the most interesting to breathe in was the enthusiasm and energy of the Miata owners.Liz Burns has “Miatatude” stickered across her windshield. Miata earrings dangle from her ears as she professes her love of her emerald beauty.Another owner decided to turn his conventional doors into ones that open up not out.At breakfast, lunch and din-ner, they regale each other with stories of other events they’ve been on. Outbursts of laughter perk up the ears of bystanders; making them wish they were at that table reliving the memories. The camaraderie of those young and young at heart is undisputable.

Regardless of background, profession, or preference in exterior colour, few vehicles in the world bring people together as strongly as Mazda’s MX-5.Liz was one of the first members of the Trillium Miata Club. She expected to join a group of Miata owners and drive with them on weekends. Liz says she “didn’t expect to make friends for 25 years” but she did.And as the Miata/MX-5 turns 25 this year, here’s to another quarter century of promote the best that life has to offer: the bond of mankind and machine, 167 horsepower at a time.www.mazda.ca

“Being the product manager in charge of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, isn’t always easy. But that challenge is probably what I like most about my job. We built a V8 engine that’s as fuel efficient as some V6s. People didn’t think that could be done, we did it. I’m proud of that.”

French Open winner, Maria Sharapova, was driven to the glamorous Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Pre-Wimbledon Party in the Porsche 918 Spyder – the Stuttgart marque’s fastest, most powerful production car to date, and one of the lowest-emitters of CO2 of any class of car.Fresh from his drive in the Le Mans 24 Hours race, Sharapova’s chauffeur for the night was Porsche factory ‘works’ driver, Mark Webber, complete in smart chauffeur attire.The 918 Spyder has a mid-mounted 4.6-litre V8

race engine coupled to two electric motors with lithium-ion batteries. It is a remarkable plug-in hybrid super sports car that can reach a top speed of 344 km/h, sprint from zero to 100km/h in 2.5 seconds, and yet at 72 g/km (70 g/km with the lightweight Weissach Package) pro-duces so little CO2 that it is exempt from the London Congestion Charge.It has a total power output of 887 hp and holds the current lap record for a production car at the famous Nürburgring race circuit of just 6 minutes 57

seconds. Despite all that performance, its plug-in hybrid technology means a low fuel consumption of 3.0 L/100kms is possible.
