Alocal bust during an alleged drug deal near Duncan reads like a scene from a John Wayne movie.

But the Mountie got his man — al-legedly carrying two knives — after a ght Tuesday along the Cowichan Valley Trail near Cowichan Lake Road, explained Cpl. Jon Stuart of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP.

It started with a 6 p.m. tip from a citizen who saw dope peddling between three males.

“They had seen what appeared to be a bag of marijuana,” said Stuart.

A male of cer arrived, and found three males matching the reported description.

“During their subsequent arrest, the three males ed; one attempting to get onto a motorcycle,” Stuart explained.

The cop gave chase, knocking one guy off a motorcycle, but the suspect tried to climb back on.

The of cer got him on the ground, but another person hit the Mountie from behind, knocked him off the suspect, then ran.

The Mountie fought with the suspect, and they both ended in a nearby creek.

The suspect got free and ed on foot.The cop noticed the suspect was wear-

ing a knife sheath, then found a large knife in the water.

Other of cers arrived, chased the subject and arrested him near Ryall Road, where a second knife was found on him.

Charges are recommended against a 32-year-old Lake Cowichan male who had an outstanding warrant from Lake Cowichan, Stuart said.

He urged residents to report all suspi-cious activity to the RCMP at 250-748-5522 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Cobble Hill recycling-and-com-posting company, Fisher Road Holdings, won its appeal-court case Tuesday against the Cow-ichan Valley Regional District.

The B.C. Court of Appeal ruling over-turns November’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling that supported the region’s 2011 downzoning of FRH’s property to a legal non-conforming use under the CVRD’s

Light Industrial-C zone.But FRH’s lawyer, L. John Alexander,

argued the CVRD board breached its du-ties of public notice and procedural fairness by not completely providing a CVRD environmental review and report about FRH’s site during a November 2010 public hearing.

Tom Anderson, CVRD planning manag-er, said he questioned how much the board really relied on those reports that were not in a public hearing le when residents’ concerns about the FRH site’s smell and

well-water contamination were heard.Anderson said he was disappointed the

CVRD lost its case on what he called a technicality.

“FRH and their lawyers had copies of the reports, and a copy was on our website.”

Total taxpayer costs for CVRD lawyers were unavailable, though Alexander said the CVRD will be out some $21,000 in court-ordered bills.

FRH’s zone now returns to Light-In-dustrial and Alexander expected a CVRD licence for the rm soon.

There are hundreds of thousands of “apps”, programs for smart phones and electronic tablets. There is even one available for gambling addicts. Gambling addiction is a mental health problem and only 10% of those with a gambling problem seek help. The app is called Mobile Monitor Your Gambling and Urges (MYGU) and is downloadable for free from iTunes.

The drug ecstasy is an illegal recreational drug used by some young people. Even one or two doses of this drug can result in long-term sleep problems. Over 70% of users report having disturbed sleep because the drug, being a stimulant, resets the body’s clock which often resets at the wrong time. Mood disorders can also occur.

Many of the drugs we use today originated from nature. It’s always interesting when a common product like thyme, formulated into a tincture,

is found to have antibacterial effects that may make it useful in treating acne. It’s far from being available on our shelves for that purpose but it does show promise.

Antibiotics have save millions of lives since the discovery of penicillin in the 1940s. In 1900, the three main causes of death were tuberculosis, pneumonia and enteritis (intestinal infections). Antibiotics have reduced the threat of these medical problems immensely.

Police have seized 128 mari-juana plants at the scene of Tuesday’s bush re off West Shawnigan Lake Road.

RCMP Sgt. Rob Webb said the 3 p.m. blaze was battled by the Shawnigan Lake volunteer re ghters who found the re raging on Haybrook Road.

“The blaze burned a treed area that was approximately 2,000 square feet,” he said. “If not for the quick actions of the Shawnigan Lake Volunteer Fire Depart-ment, the damage could have been much greater.”

Two older, small outbuildings, that appeared to be of little value, were also

destroyed.“The nearby next-door neighbour re-

ceived damage to his fence,” Webb said.“The (charred) property is heavily

cluttered with natural and man-made combustibles, and likely played a big part in this re starting near an old outhouse.”

Mounties and re of cials didn’t believe the re was set deliberately.

While on scene, the cops found and seized 128 marijuana plants in various stages of growth.

The property owner wasn’t present. Investigation into the production of the marijuana found continues, Webb said.

Anyone with tips about this cannabis-growing operation, or any other illegal grow-op, is encouraged to contact the RCMP at 250-743-5514, or Crime Stop-pers at 1-800-665-8477.

City council will soon hatch a new backyard-chicken bylaw allowing six birds, Councillor Sharon Jackson explained of roost rules that

have riled some folks.Duncanite Dave Mayo cited a city

survey indicating the majority of re-spondents rejected the idea of backyard chickens.

“Why are councillors pushing this through when the majority of the survey said ‘No’?

“Why is our elected body not listening to the people?”

But council heard local worries about noise, smell and rodents if backyard birds were allowed, Jackson explained of two “well-attended” public meetings about home coops.

“Four vocal people were in the nega-tive, the rest were very positive about chickens.

“Noise, smell, feed are all dealt with under the bylaw. We’ve directed staff to change the animal-control bylaw to allow chickens under very strong regula-tions, and that bylaw still has to come to council.”

Clean coops, sealed feed, and rules ordering hens be kept in rat-proof coops and cages will address concerns such as Mayo’s, she outlined.

And Jackson explained the survey was non-binding, though council consid-ered the Cowichan Food Charter and the city’s drive toward food-growing clout as farmers across the continent face drought and other threats to food supplies.

“In the survey, 54% voted ‘No’ among 13% of people who get city water bills, and some were businesses,” she said.

“We have just three days of fresh food on the island — we have to give people more opportunities to grow their own food.”

There were just six coop complaints last year in Nanaimo “and those were to do with roosters,” she said.

City rules will be enforced by staff.“Our bylaw of cer isn’t going to be

lurking around people’s backyards.“Action will be based on complaints. If

you are bad chicken parents, your neigh-bours will complain, but if you share the eggs and tell people what you’re doing, it’ll become like a neighbourhood project.

“If done correctly, there won’t be a problem.”

Another chap-ter of debate has started about where to build Che-

mainus’ new library.Wednesday saw an open-

minded North Cowichan council respect recent public opinion against building in the Waterwheel parking lot.

It ordered a staff report on costs of building the new facility on the old re hall site, or on the hillbank at the parking lot’s eastern edge.

“The Chemainus Advisory Committee is recommending we look at it again,” Councillor Al Siebring said of the controversial hunt for the right site.

“A delegation from the chamber of commerce and the BIA addressed the com-mittee with its concerns last month.

“The committee recom-mended council rescind the current location in the parking lot, and look at the re hall, or an alternate location on the eastern edge of the parking lot overlook-ing Croft Street near the wooden archway,” he said, noting concern by some councillors about follow-ing correct processes to pinpoint the site.

“We’ve reaf rmed the current location three times,” said Siebring, who prefers the Waterwheel-lot site, “and now a committee of council is asking us to overrule our own decision.

“But I can understand how it happened, and the committee was tasked with

getting community input.”“Council wanted more in-

formation before making a decision on the committee’s recommendations,” said Mayor Jon Lefebure, who likes the old re hall site.

Staff is now studying issues such as costs to raze the old re hall, and bills to build on the bank.

“The bank would mean a two-storey building but the Vancouver Island Library Board only wants one storey,” Siebring said of the taxpayer body building the library.

“We’d have to lose some trees but the view over the water would be spectacu-lar.”

Conversely, the old re hall needs plumbing and electrical repairs, and con-tains asbestos to be yanked and safely disposed. It also houses the Neighborhood

House, Visitor Centre, and Festival of Murals that would likely have to relocate.

“Neither of the options is simple,” Siebring said.


Two Silver Bridge climbs by the same man since Sunday — and by others in the past year — have spawned plans for Highways to install climb-busting barricades on the span, Duncan’s re chief says.

Mike McKinlay said his crews attended Tuesday eve-ning’s failed scaling by a local 22-year-old male.

The climber was taken into police custody at the bridge, then taken back to Cowichan District Hospital for mental assessment, said Cpl. Jon Stuart of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP.

“He climbed a little ways, then climbed back down when re crews and police arrived,” McKinlay said, noting the bridge was closed for about 15 minutes during the incident.

It followed Sunday night’s climb when Mounties talked

the man off the bridge’s peak. No charges have been laid.“By climbing the bridge about two days in a row,

perhaps there’s a (psychiatric) reason,” Stuart said. “There’ve been quite a few attempts, and promised at-tempts, in the past year, too.”

The uninjured climber was eventually removed Sunday via re ladder-truck, then taken to CDH for mental as-sessment.

McKinlay signalled he wants bridge climbing stopped.He’s working with Highways — an agent for which at-

tended Sunday’s climb — to install gear to keep climbers off the landmark metal bridge that’s seen other climbs.

“Lots of people climb up and walk over the bridge. I guess it’s for something to do,” the re chief said of the risky act over the Cowichan River.

Stuart was also puzzled about the dangerous prank, welcoming access blocking.

“I don’t know why (Highways) make it a nice, easy access up there.”

The driver of a vehicle that rolled in south Cowichan Tuesday evening was taken to Victoria hospital

with what’s believed to be non-life threatening injuries.

Ron Beck, Mill Bay’s re chief, said the 6 p.m. sunny-weather wreck saw the vehicle leave the road and land on its side in the Cobble Hill Road-Shepherd Road area.

Fire ghters used the Jaws of Life to extricate the driver who suffered what’s believed to be broken bones. Beck said.

Shawnigan Lake RCMP are investigating the crash’s cause.

Here’s a summer scene being played out all over North America. Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essen-tials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of

beer and a bottle of vodka.Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at

rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as every-one does across the line in Washington or Alaska.

These rural agency stores are “ yspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to under-age drinkers.

Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized. And in fact there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84 % compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a pass rate of 96 %. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one unked.

But here is the telling statistic. In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol, As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence.

Now liquor inspectors send in undercover teens, and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped.

The government glossed over the poorer per-formance of private stores. But in fairness, three

times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspec-tions, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in nancial advantage in their wholesale rate, and are generally overstaffed by private sector standards.

The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Reg-ulation changes brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona de community” to exist around the store.

Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The B.C. Government Em-ployees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue. B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs.

The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing

to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business.

Another new regulation took effect this sum-mer, creating a $525 ne for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own under-age children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments.

If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justi cation remains for government liquor sales.

Motorcyclists and cyclists have to become more aware they’re the most vulnerable on Cowichan Valley roadways.

There have been far too many accidents this summer in the valley involving both and it all

comes down to a matter of safety. A few incidents have unneces-sarily ended in tragic consequences.

Motorcyclists driving around recklessly and cyclists not aware of what’s going on around them will not usually fare well in a collision with a motor vehicle.

Precautions must be taken to avoid incidents.

Motorcyclists weaving in and out of busy traf c on the Trans-Canada High-way are just asking for trouble. Same goes for cyclists who are not wearing helmets, not using hand signals and gen-erally not paying close attention to what the automotive traf c is doing.

The strip of highway through Duncan is lled with disasters wait-ing to happen.

Cyclists are all over the place cutting across several lanes of traf- c, seemingly without concern.The motorist can only guess which way they’re going or what

they’re actually going to do.This is not to exonerate motor vehicle drivers by any stretch of

the imagination. They’re often not paying attention, either, xing their hair, eating or — yes, still talking on their cellphones despite the law slapping $167 nes.

Motor vehicles and pedestrians on crosswalks are also a deadly combination and we’ve seen far too many incidents of collisions.

The bottom line is it doesn’t matter who’s right or who’s wrong.Motorcyclists and cyclists need to take the lead initative for their

own good because they’re the ones who are going to get the worst of it almost every time. No one is exempt from injury.

issues that need to be addressed.Low-income housing, drug and

I must tell all how fortunate I’ve been during the past 39 days. I have had the opportunity to attend a great number of the musical presen-tations at Charles Hoey Park in downtown Duncan. Longevity John and his crew have ob-viously spent countless hours putting together this wonderful assortment of entertainment for the bene t of their community.

The people of the Cowichan Valley have been entertained with big band to rock and everything in between. Sandcastles and magic shows for the children and music for all ages has been available to those managing to pry themselves away from their TVs. To those of you who didn’t, my condolences. Hurray to John Falkner, the City of Duncan, the festi-val society and all who were involved in this massive endeavour. Keep it going gang. I look forward to a repeat next year.C & G ShortreedDuncan

Claw back the tax breaks for the Claw back the tax breaks for the rich and save our schoolsrich and save our schoolsDear editor

On July 20, Patrick Hrushowy suggests a more ef cient way of administering our schools by replacing our nine elected trustees with a politically appointed trustee.

Hrushowy missed the most important issue. The issue in SD79 is the cumulative impact of inadequate school budgets during the past 10 years, which is now threatening the quality of education. The government decrees the trustees submit a balanced budget or be red. Thus, trustees are legally forced to make cuts to balance continuing inadequate budgets.

At the public budget hearings, it was evident from teachers that a crisis has developed

in our classrooms due to the impact of the inadequate budgets over the past 10 years. The government continues its tax cuts grant-ing wealthy corporations a further $1.8 billion tax cut in the latest budget. Thus, inadequate school budgets will continue. Our trustees concluded the cumulating cuts to education had to stop. The ministry provides no admin-istrative process for justifying more fund-ing and the minister declined to talk to our trustees about their restorative budget. Thus, trustees had no alternative but to make this a political issue for the coming elections.

Now the inadequate SD79’s school budget has become an issue on how the government’s allocates its income. What is being chal-lenged is the government’s tax cuts given to the one percenters and paid for by decreasing government services provided to the 99%ers.

The issue is clear. Do we support the government’s continuing tax cuts to the one percenters or do we demand clawbacks of some of the tax cuts given? Clawback would restore adequate education budgets for our schools. Clawbacks would also restore cut-backs to government services and programs to the people.

The election rallying cry could be claw-backs, not cutbacks.Gerry MasudaDuncan

Who is going to be responsible for keeping the coop clean?Dear editor

Chickens in backyards are a workable idea. But a few questions come to mind. Chickens, as mentioned here are OK if kept in clean and secure conditions, as with other pets. But we’ve seen how some animals are kept and

do we really want to add chickens to the mix? I believe we are going to add more fuel to the re with barnyard animals within city limits as

far as noise, smells and structures and neigh-bour complaints go up. Dry weather is more conducive to chickens than wet. Remember, we spend a lot of the year in wet conditions. This is when the smell of manure and bedding will be the biggest problem. Remember, it is not just one dog, or one cat, or even two of each. This is a bunch of animals.

If all who want chickens did it properly...no problems. If you open it up to anyone that wants chickens, and a percentage don’t do it properly, problems will arise. Who will police that?Harry Veuger, Duncancomments submitted online at cowichannewsleader.com

Is anyone actually counting these Is anyone actually counting these chickens?chickens?Dear editor

I read some comment about how they measured the amount of gas coming from the poop of one chicken. What they forget is that no one is going to have just one chicken and where will they put the poop when they clean it up? You aren’t allowed to put it in the gar-bage can and you can’t put it with the weekly compost pickup. We raised chickens for a year; both meat and egg birds. Yes they stink. When you live on ve acres it isn’t too notice-able. On a city lot it will be very noticeable, especially if you are the only one on the street. Then once you have chickens, you will have racoons after them and causing trouble with cats running amuck in the streets — which may or may not be such a bad thingJohn McWilliam, Duncancomments submitted online at cowichannewsleader.com

We don’t need We don’t need backyard clucks backyard clucks in Duncan, nor in Duncan, nor do we want themdo we want themIn my opinion:In my opinion: Chickens an unwant- Chickens an unwant-ed fad that will bring problemsed fad that will bring problems

Backyard chicken advocates, (a dozen or so) have recently launched a letter writing campaign to the local news-papers and this paper has chimed in with a couple of inane opinion pieces

on the subject.Let me point out the obvious. A few chickens in

your backyard does not provide food security, nor is it a sustainable activity.

Eggs of every conceivable kind are available within a ve minute or less drive from Duncan City Centre.

Your choice: free-range, free-run, organic, grain fed, white, brown, large, medium and small, they’re all available in the Cowichan Valley.

You can purchase them direct from the farm or hobby farm or at the outdoor markets and health food stores, or, if you choose, from the supermar-ket.

Some farmers will even drop your eggs off in town for your convenience. They’re fresh and inexpensive.

The reality is, there’s not a single good reason to have backyard chickens in the City of Duncan. Having backyard chickens is nothing more than a hobby/fad that is being touted as “sustainability” or “food security.”

It is neither.There are, however, several good reasons not

to have backyard chickens in the city, yet no one seems to want to address these.

Salmonella is a germ that resides in the intes-tines of many chickens and other poultry and comes out in their droppings.

It doesn’t affect the chicken but is nasty to humans, especially children. For reference please read the paper on backyard chickens by The Centre for Disease Control.

Rats like eating chicken droppings so they naturally are attracted to areas where there are chickens. They also like eating chicken feed or scraps left out. If you have chickens and don’t think you have rats you’re just wrong.

Rat droppings and urine contain some very nasty germs that cause a number of diseases. Please read the paper on rat droppings and urine by The Centre for Disease Control.

B.C. bear experts say backyard chickens are becoming a big problem as they draw bears close to people’s homes.

Bear Aware program coordinator Frank Ritchie says chicken coops now rival garbage as the top bear attractant in urban areas.

B.C. SPCA states it is not acceptable for indi-viduals with little or no knowledge or experience in chicken care to keep hens in their backyards in an urban environment.

The backyard chicken fad is directly responsible for puppy mill-style hatcheries. Please read about this disgusting and inhumane practice.

Still think backyard chickens are green, sustain-able food security? Didn’t think so.Mark Williams is a Duncan-area resident.

Cancer is stupid, friendship is notCancer is stupid, friendship is notCaitlin McKayNews Leader Pictorial

Real friendship was demonstrated last month by a group of Cowichan women.

On July 21, a team of 12 women walked a whopping 36 kilometres from Saywell Park in Lake Cowichan to the Duncan Fire Hall, all in the name of their friend, Cindy Kruk.

The women walked to raise money for Kruk as she battles ovarian cancer. The event raised $8,000 and support keeps rolling in to help Kruk and her family through this dif cult time.

“She can’t work anymore because she has to have chemo and she’s got another few months to go. We are not sure when she can work again,” said Jill Thomas, one of the walkers and

key organizers. “For me, I want her family to have

some money to do something that they wouldn’t normally do. Her hus-band is now the sole supporter and she is about to become a grandma, I want them to take a holiday and I don’t want them to have to worry.”

Since Kruk is an avid walker her-self, the group thought a walk would be great way to show support.

“Cindy lives in Lake Cowichan. The Duncan re department offered their re hall to have a fundraiser, so we thought, ‘Why not start at Lake Cowichan and walk to the re hall,”’ said Thomas. “Cindy walked the last half a mile with us.”

The walk culminated in the “Cindy Rellas Royal Ball” at the re hall. A pair of pilot trucks supplied by SureSpan Structure accompanied the walkers, keeping them fed with

groceries donated by Country Grocer.Thomas says Kruk’s strength

inspired the team to keep walking and remain motivated.

“We thought about Cindy the whole way, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be,” she said. “We thought if Cindy has cancer, we could walk 36 kilometres.”

Thomas said she is amazed by Kruk’s ability to remain positive and this experience has shown her how important it is to live in the moment.

“She’s fabulous, she’s amazing and she is the most positive person and she remains positive. She just says ‘Let’s do it and get it over with’ and that’s all you can do,” Thomas said.

“We have all learned that life is very short and we should live in the moment. There’s no past, no future, there’s just today and every day is a gift right now.”

School district exploring possibility of partnership with B.C. TransitSchool district exploring possibility of partnership with B.C. TransitTamu MilesLake Cowichan Gazette

In its bid to offset some of its costs, School District 79 is looking at hopping on the bus.

In one of the last meetings, the now- red school board passed a motion to

investigate a partnership with B.C. Transit that would see the storage and maintenance of approximately 25 B.C. Transit buses by the school district.

Former trustee Duncan Brown, said the district has the capacity to set aside 25 % of its space and services to B.C. Transit, if this initia-

tive moves forward.Monroe Grobe, director of operations for

District 79, said there has been one meeting so far between the district and B.C. Transit.

“We are still in the discussion stage,” he said. “But we are striving for a partnership with B.C. Transit.”

There are three parts to the proposal, includ-ing physical storage, maintenance, and opera-tions.

“Only two pieces are being looked at right now,” said Grobe — the storage and mainte-nance aspects.

“We see this as a potential revenue genera-tor,” he said, adding the district thinks it could

generate jobs as well.The district’s contract expires in April. “So

if we do go ahead, we’ll be shooting for that,” says Grobe.

First, a feasibility report must determine if the district can deliver what Transit would need.

Because transit hours would run past regular school bus hours, the district would have to have mechanical staff, and others, on hand to service transit buses.

Grobe adds there would also be potential labour issues that would have to be smoothed out with the unions.

“But this is not a major hurdle at this point,” he says.

Andrew Leong/ leSchool District 79 is considering offering storage, maintenance and eventually operating services to B.C. Transit’s eet of buses.

Wildchild stomps into ShawniganWildchild stomps into Shawnigan

Maeve MaguireNews Leader Pictorial

Just when you think you know everything, kids remind you how much there is still to learn.

This is the lesson Keith (Wildchild) Middleton is taking away with him after spending three days as a mentor at the Dwight Inter-national School’s two-week Global Leaders Academy at Shawnigan Lake.

Middleton is one of the original members of STOMP, the energetic musical and dance performance made famous by its rhythmic beats using garbage cans and brooms. The academy’s founder, New York-based Kirk Spahn, invited Middleton to Shawnigan Lake to interact with the 60 participants ages 14 to 18.

“When I called Keith he said, ‘If it’s for kids, I’m there.’ He took days off work to come. He’s been here three days and he wants to stay longer,” Spahn said.

Global Leaders Academy is a summer leadership program for high school students from around the world who have a passion for leader-ship and service. Spahn, whose father is the Chancellor of Dwight International Schools, created the program in response to what he perceived was a lack of understand-ing in youth about how to provide community service.

Spahn lives in New York and was struck how, after the tragedy on Sept. 11, 2001, many youths wanted to help their communities but didn’t

know where to begin.“They are inspired and they want

to act but they don’t have the tools to do so. That’s where we come in,” Spahn said.

The program helps participants understand the process of raising money or awareness for a cause, and gives them tools to execute their idea when they return to their communi-ties.

Spahn asked Middleton to join them because he knew Middleton would connect with the kids.

“We don’t like someone to come in, give a speech and leave. We look for speakers who will participate in the workshop.”

Middleton taught the kids about collaboration and spontaneity by in-volving them in a mini performance of STOMP. Middleton asked the kids to choose one of the objects he found in the school’s kitchen.

“A pot, a bucket, ketchup bottles with rice in them to make shakers, trays, trash liners, spoons and water bottles, tea cups and mugs, so many things. Within 20 minutes all the kids were playing in rhythm, making

music,” Spahn said.Savannah Swann is a Mill Bay

resident who has attended the acad-emy program every year since its inception two years ago. This year, she put her leadership skills to use as a junior facilitator. Swann said she feels lucky to have had the opportu-nity to participate.

“It changed how I approached learning and put me into a leader-ship position in my school. I learned how to communicate better. I was part of the senior council, captain of volleyball team, and I stood in front of the school in the mornings giving announcements and encouraging young kids to take part in the dances and make it a closer community.”

Swann was especially grateful for her exposure to participants from other countries, “Being surrounded by multiculturalism gives me a more open view of the world.”

Middleton was also impressed by how the multicultural aspect of the program exposes the kids to what’s happening in the rest of the world, and he praised the kids for their courage in participating.

Dateline 1932: poor results lead to dismissalsDateline 1932: poor results lead to dismissalsAnn AndersenNews Leader Pictorial

Over-the-top drama at the board table is nothing new in this school dis-trict. When Duncan Con-solidated school board

was forced by the council of public instruction to reinstate four teachers it had dismissed based on school inspec-tors’ reports, trustees balked.

“If the council of public instruction

can override the school board, I for one refuse to serve on the board,” exclaimed Trustee Castle in August 1932. “I would like to ght these fel-lows to the last ditch.”

The teacher rings came in the wake of achievement results that showed Duncan was low compared to other centres in the province. For the second consecutive year, all students taking the high school “entrance tests” had failed. The public school inspector said the Duncan school was the worst

in arithmetic of any he had examined. Said Castle: the board was simply acting on the inspector’s reports in decreeing the dismissals.

Other casualties in the shake-up were two school principals. In spite of his teaching abilities, high school head A. E. Vogee was dismissed because he “did not possess the quali cations essential for the principal of a high school.” And the salary of elementary school principal J. N. O’Neill was reduced by 25 %.

CREATURECComomffortsortsFOR THE HOMEAUGUST is a month when we try to squeeze in as much time with our family and friends before the leaves start to fall, and there are plenty of businesses in downtown Duncan that will make entertaining easy and enjoyable. One problem many people have is not enough beds for heads to rest upon, but by visiting Uncle Albert’s you will fi nd a selection of Simmons beds for everyone, including University students. For a new bed you’ll need linens and pillows, and during the month of August, Pots & Paraphernalia is having a sale on beautiful, high-quality bedding and pillows to add a little extra comfort for you and your guests. Or, perhaps stop in at

Erickson’s Furniture, where you will fi nd a little extra comfort and seating for your awaited guests. If unique is how you describe your house, visit Embellish for a wide selection of Spring and Summer décor, dishware, vases, and light fi xtures which will add enough charm to dazzle any room! Khaya Home & Décor also offers unique home items such as recycled and reclaimed furniture from Vietnam, driftwood mirrors, nautical décor, Belgian-made carpets and a product called fi repots, which create an instance ambiance on the patio or even inside your home. If you are the lucky one who gets to be a guest instead of a host, then perhaps you are looking for a special gift to show your gratitude. By visiting the Raven’s Nest you will fi nd everything from bird feeders, pillows and French-milled soaps, to a beautiful selection of home décor as well. Whether you are entertaining or being entertained, remember that downtown Duncan can help create a sense of comfort and harmony for any home. Although Fall is around the corner, there is still time to refl ect and relax with family and friends, so enjoy!

SCHOOL DEALSOH SUMMER, what a time of the year to put school on hold and pretend like outdoor adventures can replace textbooks and teachers. Although many returning students never want Summer to end, downtown Duncan can help alleviate the ‘back to school blues’ with head-to-toe deals. Starting at the top, haircuts for students of all ages are reasonably priced at the Alley Cat Hair Salon. Next, school supplies and shopping convenience can be found if you walk into Monk Offi ce. From discounted 2013 planners to student school kits (which Monk’s staff will prepare for you in advance if you bring in your list), Monk’s is also offering teachers a break with a free teacher kit containing classroom essentials and coupons for future purchases. Next, you will fi nd clothing and footwear at Indigo Children’s Consignment, as well as Trendy Tots, which has a plethora of back to school clothing and high-quality shoes that will put a smile on any kids face! Prudence also has a wide range of Summer specials on clothing and fair-trade school bags. Needless to say, during the month of August, downtown Duncan will make the transition into Fall a little easier for everyone.

Annual Woodstock something specialAnnual Woodstock something special

Caitlin McKayNews Leader Pictorial

Rick Scott is a special performer.Special Woodstock is a special

event.Little wonder organizers are

expecting the combination to com-bine for a special time this weekend.

Get ready to get up and dance as professional musicians and musicians with developmental disabilities mingle with fans of abilities of all types for a rockin’ time.

This year’s highlight includes the return of Scott and his granddaughter, Mielle. The pair was a big hit last year and they are ready to get the crowd cheering again.

“I’m really excited that Rick Scott is back to play for us,” said Shelley Vaags, founder of Special Woodstock.

“He came last year and he just set the tone, this wonderful magical tone and he captured everyone’s heart and he brought his granddaughter on stage and she has Down syndrome.

“It was the most captivat-ing moment when they get up on the stage.”

Scott says the crowd is witness-ing a very special moment between him and his grand-daughter.

“There is a lot of love — it is a very real mo-ment for her and I. We love playing together, and now we get on stage and do it,” Scott said.

“She gets up on stage and sings a few tunes. It’s in her DNA so she just gets up there and sings.”

Scott, a noted West Coast children’s per-former and one-third of the folk legend Pied

Pumkin, said Special Woodstock is a very special event for him, one he is looking forward to playing at again.

“It’s nice to see all those wonderful people with those special people having a place to gather...and celebrate the music that is being played. It’s a very unique and wonderful situ-ation.”

Vaags says the non-pro t event promises to be a great time because it is inclusive for everyone.

“Music is a common language; it’s a bridge and we are all comfortable when music is around and we can all sing along together and it’s a chance for families to come out and party together,” she said.

“Seniors will feel comfortable because the grounds are all accessible and …children because a lot of children have grown up with this festival and they have no discomfort with people

with disabilities.”

TTHE BIG EVENTHE BIG EVENT

Experience the power of tranquility.Tranquil Moments, a musical meditation, world

chant and deep listening event with Massimo Pintus and Nancy Watters, is coming to Shawni-gan Lake tonight.

Watters is a world chant master, psychothera-pist, sound therapist and Reiki master. She is known for angelic vocals that blend with the

sound of quartz crystal “singing” bowls. Pintus, a local instrument maker, wood worker

and musician will share his hand forged and tuned metal and wooded instruments while also singing in concert with Nancy.

“Sound can help people make shifts in per-spective that normally take one to two years of meditation… (It’s) the most powerful magic for

enabling us to live extraordinary lives fi lled with peace, passion, health and a sense of unity with the universe,” oncologist Mitchell L. Gaynor said in an event press release.

This concert is set for 7 p.m., Friday, Aug. 17 at the Art House in Shawnigan. Tickets are $20 in advance at Ten Old Books and Lila Music Centre (Duncan), the Art House, or at the door.

JOHNSTONE, George Elliott, CD, LCdr. (Ret.)

Aug. 6, 1935 – Aug. 9, 2012

George was born in Halifax, N.S. with a boyhood passion for the sea in his heart.

He attended King’s College School in Windsor, N.S. and Dalhousie University before joining the fi rst class of H.M.C.S. Venture. He served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1954 to 1975.

After leaving the Navy the family settled in Victoria and George had a second career with the B.C. Government. Family vacations were always taken in the family’s various sailboats, cruising the coasts of B.C. and Washington State.

In 1987 he achieved his lifelong dream and set off in Tarquin V with Dot as his fi rst mate on a world cruise which lasted eight years. They enjoyed exploring the various cultures they encountered and made many new friends.

Upon returning to B.C. George and Dot retired to Maple Bay. At this time George was diagnosed with prostate cancer which he dealt with stoically for 16 ½ years. He always maintained a sense of optimism and humour.

George will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 54 years, Dorothy and by his children, Sandra Eichendorf (Ross), Andrew Johnstone (Denise Rogers), Heather Johnstone (Gerry Morello), Barbara Davidson (Ken); grandchildren, Ian Eichendorf (Colleen), Robin Eichendorf, Roslyn Davidson, Peter Davidson, Leone Morello; great grandson, Thomas George Eichendorf; and sister Joan Pilson (Michael).

Sincere thanks to Dr. Lauren Jackson, Dr. Charles Ludgate, Dr. Jorg Michels, the Cowichan Valley home care burses and care teams, Cheryl Upright R.N., Sue Pollard, R.N., and the staff of 2 south at the Cowichan District Hospital. They all helped to make George’s journey as smooth as possible.

A family gathering to celebrate the life of George will be held at a later date.

Donations, if desired may be made in George’s memory to the Victoria Prostate Center or the B.C. Cancer Foundation, Vancouver Island Center.

“Home is the sailor, home from the sea.”

SUTFIN, Mildred Anne (nee Watkins)23 January 1927 - 11 August 2012

Mom passed away peacefully in her sleep with her family at her side. Having spent the last few years in declining health with Parkinson’s disease, she is now at rest. Born and raised on a farm in Briscoe, BC, she moved to the coast for university, married, raised a family and moved to Duncan in the early 1960’s. Active as a campaigner and in the offi ce at most provincial elections in the 60’s and 70’s, she also volunteered with the Cowichan District Hospital Junior Auxiliary. She was best known as a sewing teacher for adult education and eventually sewing became a home business. She introduced a new style of sewing to the Cowichan Valley in the late 1960’s and pursued sewing with enthusiasm. She played bridge with a passion and was active for almost fi ve decades playing contract bridge. Mom’s greatest love was most certainly gardening. She always had wonderful fl ower gardens and missed them the most when she had to move into assisted living. She got a teaching diploma late in her working life and surprised us all by going to remote areas of BC to instruct grade twelve equivalency and upgrading. Most memorable was her time spent in Klemtu.

Predeceased by her sister Mary Vogel (2012), survived by her brother Bert, daughter Karen (Cal Lee), Saanich, son Greg (Erica), Duncan, grand kids, Lauren (Jon) and Kristen Scott, David and Jared Sutfi n, many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Many thanks to the people at Wedgewood House, the staff at Cairnsmore Place, Doctors Daphne Robinson and Fred Swann and Pastor Kerry MacIntyre. A service will be held in September, time and place to be announced. In lieu of fl owers, a donation can be made in her name to Cairnsmore Place, 250 Cairnsmore St., Duncan, BC, V9L 4H2.

BARNARD, Arthur RandyJan. 28 1952 – Aug. 4 2012

With great sadness we announce the sudden death of Randy (Barney). Randy was predeceased by his mother Ann in 2008; left to mourn his passing, his father Art (Barney Sr.), loving sons A.J. (Andrea) and Jeffrey (Chantal); granddaughter Chloe, Sharleen Caux (mother of his sons); Sisters Shirley Hyslop of Saltair, Lois Kearney of Winnepeg Man., Heather Grant (Gene) of Kenora On., Alva Popowich (Richard) of Halifax N.S. and brother Jim Brown of Abbotsford B.C., as well as an aunt and uncle in Kenora, several cousins, nieces, nephews and many, many friends.

Randy was greatly loved and brought much joy to all. He leaves a high void in the hearts of many.

We never lose the ones we loveFor even though they’re gone

With in the hearts of those who careTheir memory lingers on.

We love you Barney

By request immediate cremation has taken place. A memorial will be held at a later date. On line condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

REMPEL, Henry David (Hank)May 28th, 1935 – August 9, 2012

Passed away peacefully in the company of those he loved at Cowichan District Hospital. Predeceased by his parents, Henry and Katherina Rempel; and stepson Daniel Penner. Hank is survived by his loving wife Irene; children Dan (Helen), Dale, Brenda, Cindy, 19 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces and

nephews. Hank leaves behind his brothers George, Peter and Don.

A life of music, a love of the water, Hank was a fi rst-class gypsy following his dreams. Hank did many things in his life, including demolition expert, log salvager, entrepreneur, carpenter and a ship wright.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 25 at 1pm – 5pm at Bradley Centre, 975 Shearme Road, Parksville BC. In lieu of fl owers, donations could be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Jeremy Horgan’s willing-ness to do whatever he’s asked is sure to arm him with the necessary tools to advance in baseball.

Entering his fourth year at Notre Dame Preparatory High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Duncan pitcher is looking for big things from the team and himself this season.

“This season we’re really hoping we can win state,’’ said Horgan, who turned 17 on July 26.

“We’re keeping seven pitch-ers and seven position players. We just have a really strong class — all-around for athletes, not just baseball.’’

With a new coaching staff coming in last season under the direction of Brian Fischer, Horgan was asked to make a substantial change to his me-chanics. After consulting with his pitching staff, Fischer felt adapting a submarine style of delivery might suit Horgan best.

“I don’t know why I said it,’’ said Fischer. “I said ‘Let’s just see what happens.’ He picked it up and we just kind of ran with it.

“I think he bought into it because he knows he’s going to pitch all the time.’’

Horgan comes in for short-term relief, often in consecutive games, and his role is usually to get a couple of batters out and then turn the ball over to someone else.

“I kind of catch on fast to things I’m shown,’’ said Horgan.

“We were scared to do it at rst. It was kind of late in the

game to make this drastic a change.’’

Horgan conceded the delivery does look odd and never fails to capture the attention of the other team.

“Whenever I go to warm up, teams like to laugh and make fun of it,’’ he said.

“We hear that everytime he goes out there,’’ said Fischer. “The big thing, too, is the play-ers have accepted him.’’

Horgan doesn’t go for the big strikeout, but makes opposing hitters put the ball in play.

“I’ve got my in eld behind me,’’ he said. “They’re kind of laughing. They’ve seen it work numerous times. It’s good to have for two outs.’’

Mother Rosemary Horgan, who has lived in Arizona during Jeremy’s years at the school, credits Fischer for bringing respectability to the Saints.

“Our new coach has done wonders with the program,’’ she said.

“It de nitely worked out for the best,’’ said Jeremy.

He started baseball in Duncan at four years old and went to Notre Dame beginning in Grade 9 after attending camps in Arizona. He won an overall pitching award in one camp out of 65 kids.

Right off the bat, so to speak, the other students at Notre Dame started calling Horgan “Canada’’, logical since he was the only Canadian in the school.

Last season was particularly interesting for the baseball

team, Horgan said, when the media basically gave the team no chance of making it to the playoffs but ended up nishing second. Losing 10 games in a row at one point had everyone on the Saints wondering.

“All of a sudden, we had this really strong game against a school that’s a division ahead of us,’’ said Horgan. “After that, we went on a 10-game win streak.’’

Basically, baseball goes on all the time in Arizona, with the main season running from March to May.

Horgan is frequently in the gym at 5:30 a.m. as part of a long day that includes classes and baseball into the early evening. A yoga program has even been added as an extra for the baseball players.

The Saints play in AIA Div. 2 with a school of about 900 kids compared to others in the division that have a couple of thousand.

The Saints could technically qualify for Div. 4, but have managed to compete at the

higher level.“We could move down a

division and beat everybody 20-0,’’ said Horgan. “Playing up is de nitely a lot more fun.’’

A big thrill for him came during April when the Saints played their last home game of the spring season at Chase Field, home of Major League Baseball’s Arizona Diamond-backs.

Horgan has already been looking into different institu-tions for next year after he’s completed high school.

Cowichan Valley Storm women’s eld lacrosse team proved it can compete with the best Saturday at the Cowichan Sportsplex.

Vancouver, Victoria and the Cowichan Valley played a round robin tournament. The

Storm lost against Vancouver, but beat Victoria. Vancou-ver also beat Victoria.

“Some of the Vancouver women played university in the United States,’’ said Storm captain Jackie Thibodeau. “They are such good athletes it’s nice to know we are competitive with them. We played aggressively and had more shots on goal than Vancouver.”

These tournaments, or playdays, are the start of what Thibodeau hopes will become bigger events for the league. “There are no standings for the league yet. It’s just our second year, but that is what we’re working towards.”

The Storm will compete in the Summer Slam tourna-ment Aug. 25 in Victoria where it will meet select teams from Vancouver and the U.S., among others. In October, Five Storm team members will travel to Hawaii to join a team with Vancouver and Victoria players. To help pay for these events, the team raises funds through pizza and chocolate sales, plus bottle drives.

If you are interested in learning more about the Cowichan Valley Storm, contact Tammy Knowles at 250-710-2255.

Outstanding young athletes from the CVAC Jaguars are currently in Prince Edward Island at the Legion track and fi eld national competition.

Before they left, four members of the group gathered at the Cowichan Sportsplex to receive a cheque from Duncan Legion’s Betty James.

The organization offered $200 in fundrais-ing support while the Chemainus Legion kicked in with $500.

A beer and burger night was held at the end of July at the Bay Pub to give the athletes a fundraising boost.

It was a sell-out and helped the athletes cover some of their costs.
