Search parties were combing the Maple Moun-tain area this week in search of a missing local man. Anthony (Tony) Morley, a senior, was last seen Sunday, leaving police and family ask-ing for the public’s help in locating him.
Investigation shows he left Duncan’s Walmart at approximately 4:25 p.m. and parked his vehicle, a 2008 Acura, near the staging area of Maple Mountain, off Osborne Bay Road — where he apparently hikes
regularly.“The vehicle was locked and
undamaged so it is believed Mr. Morley left there of his own ac-cord and possibly went for a walk,” Cpl. Krista Hobday’s release says. Cowichan Search and Rescue was actively looking for him by foot and air, she notes.
“We are asking the public nearby check their outbuildings and fence lines in case Mr. Morley sought shelter there,” requests Hobday.
Mounties have checked local hospitals for Morley, without luck, she added.
Morley is described as a Caucasian, 79-year-old, with grey, balding hair, and a very thin build.
He was last seen wearing a white shirt. His family said he is in the early stages of dementia, and has had recent heart surgery, but is otherwise healthy and active.
If you have seen him recently, contact the North Co-wichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522.
Community searching for missing senior
Andrew LeongA Duncan fi re department crew trains in high-angle rescue exercises with members of the Cowichan Search and Rescue on Saturday on Government Street hill. They are going through the certifi cation process. The session was unrelated to the disappearance of Tony Morley, or the earlier disappearance of Jakob Taylor (see page 7).

The sewage outfall for the greater Duncan area will likely move from the Cowichan River to a spot south of Salt Spring Island within the next 10 years.
Shifting the treated-sewage pipe — tenta-tively to Satellite Channel on a route still to be determined — is a commitment the North Cowichan/Duncan Joint Utilities Board made
in its 49-year lease with Cowichan Tribes.Estimated at $22 million, the project is
expected to shield shell sh and Aboriginal bathing waters near the current outfall, North Cowichan of cials say.
Pollution impacts from the current outfall — carrying chlorine-treated offal from the Joint Utilities Board’s Tzouhalem Road lagoons — are especially heavy during summer-drought low ows, Mayor Jon Lefebure noted.
“We are currently working with the Co-wichan Valley Regional District to amend the Central Sector Liquid Waste Management Plan, “North Cowichan municipal engineering manager John MacKay said. “We are also out for proposals to hire an engineering consultant to do detailed oceanographic and routing studies for this amendment.”
MacKay explained the change is expected by June 2015, in time to apply for a federal infra-structure grant to cover two-thirds of the cost.
Outfall-project grants could become crucial to curb tax hikes feared by folks complaining of rising levies to cover what Councillor Al Siebring called “fairly major capital projects coming down the pipeline.”
“Council should do a true priority-setting exercise to identify low-priority items, which might be subject to spending cuts, or even possible elimination,” Siebring says in a post at cowichannewsleader.com.
Lefebure said the current liquid-waste plan calls for moving the river’s outfall within the next 16 years, “six years having passed al-ready.” He downplayed suggestions the project would simply shift contamination.
“We have very good treatment at the lagoons, with aeration then alum added, which makes it tertiary (three-stage) treatment,” he said. “We’re better than the (senior government) standards required, but when (waste water) goes into the river it adds nutrients, and there’s an unwanted impact on the river — the long-term goal is to get that outfall out of the river.
“With a pipeline into Satellite Channel, there’s a huge cleansing action of tides down Sansum Narrows, so it’s a much safer place to discharge.”
While Tribes and local conservationists aim to reopen shell sh harvesting in Cowichan Bay by 2020, Lefebure signalled the river’s contamination culprit isn’t the JUB outfall, but Koksilah farm runoff reaching the bay.

We mention exercise a lot in this column but what does it really do for your heart? It improves the health of your blood vessels so they open up and blood flows more freely through your body.
It also helps your nervous system reduce your heart rate. Your heart loves you when you exercise. Make it part of your day… every day.
Food allergies can occur at any age but most often occur in children under the age of five. The top ten foods that cause allergies are: eggs, milk, mustard, peanuts, seafood, sulphites (preservatives found in dried fruits), sesame, soy, tree nuts, wheat and other gluten-containing grains.
The United Nations has a goal to have at least 50% of the world’s newborn babies be breast-fed for at least 6 months by the year 2025. It is well understood that this practice will give the child a better start in life with better nutrition and a stronger immune system. UN experts say that if 100% of all newborns were breastfed for the first six months of life, 800,000 lives could be saved yearly.
Sleeping problems can be caused by snoring, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, talking during sleep and just inability to sleep through the night. Often this causes problems for the spouse of the person with the sleep disorders. One solution that can help is separate beds or even separate bedrooms. We all need a good night’s sleep and if you feel this could help, give it a try.
The people who work in our pharmacy are our greatest asset. Let one of them serve you soon.

Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial
Early chinook salmon counts on the Cowichan River have conser-vationist Rodger Hunter upbeat about this fall’s potential total.
“Four hundred and fty chi-nook just cleared the counting fence,” he said Wednesday during a light sprinkle.
“That indicates early ones got the (up-stream spawning) urge with the recent rain.”
While far more rain is needed to help salmon swim up the arid river, Hunter, of the Cowichan Watershed Board, said the feds expect about 5,000 chinook this year — about the same number as last year.
However, Hunter cautioned some chinook
aiming to swim the Cowichan could be din-ner for Cowichan Bay’s herd of hungry seals.
Still, he was also optimistic this week’s rain could help set back an Oct. 18 date watershed board members believe could spell temporary closure of the job-rich Crofton pulp mill if river ows continue dropping.
The sh-counting fence sits just east of the white bridge, outside Duncan.
The feds want veri ed sightings reported after erecting the sh-counting fence early last week.
A video system was also being installed at the fence as federal Fisheries’ agents, Cowichan Tribes members, and Cowichan conservationists prayed for rain.
“The plan this year is to operate the fence from Sept. 16 through Oct. 30, barring weather events,” a media release from Fisher-
ies’ Strait of Georgia stock-assessment biolo-gist Steve Baillie states.
“Normally, I try to start on the day after Labour Day, however this year that would have been Sept. 2, a very early date.
“As well, a combination of low water de-laying sh movement, and budget consider-ations, I decided to start the fence this week.”
Contingency plans are in place for poten-tial trap-and-truck measures — scheduled to start Sunday — and catching broodstock at the fence.
“Many eyes are on us, as well as increased funding to look at the effect of low water, and assisting the salmon.”
Meanwhile, Baillie asks folks to report rst-hand pink-salmon sighting. He can be emailed at [email protected].

Crisis conditions for the Cowichan River have led to the creation of a new one-stop shop for drought information.
Last week, the Cowichan Valley Re-gional District launched owdown.ca, a one-stop water-storage information shop.
Site visitors yesterday were greeted with a river ow dial logo, its needle pushed into the extreme red.
They were also noti ed trucking of salmon upstream is scheduled to begin Sunday.
And they were told — pending additional rain-fall — the weir runs out of storage Oct. 5, leading to the river starting to run dry Oct. 25
“Flowdown.ca provides education on why we have low river ow conditions, why it is a problem for the region, and what is being done to ad-dress the impacts,” a CVRD media release states.
The dial will be regularly updated throughout the year to re ect changing conditions, including ooding and the site will also detail in-formation on water temperature and water quality.
“The Cowichan River is in crisis and we are working very closely with Cowichan Tribes and our other partners to ensure there are sustainable water ows during these increasingly common drought conditions,” said CVRD Chairman Rob Hutchins.
To ensure progress on this initiative, the board agreed on Sept. 10, to take on a leadership role to investigate and co-ordinate long-term measures to maintain adequate Cowichan River water ows in partnership with stakeholders and other agencies.

Tourist infl ux leads to spike in water useGot a comment or a story?email [email protected]
phone 250-746-4471 Honeymoon Bay took a proactive stance earlier this month to mitigate a repeat of a water shortage problem caused by tourists during the B.C. Day long weekend.
Offi cials spent Labour Day weekend on area roadways and campsites, advising visitors about the need to conserve water.
This action was taken because of the high levels of water used during the B.C. Day long weekend while the town was fl ooded with tourists.
Consumption levels of about 320,000 litres per day shot through the roof.
“Before the last long weekend we were 420,000, 450,000, and all of a sudden it looked like the Stage 3 restrictions weren’t having any effect because the numbers were just climbing. So it wasn’t that the amount of water that we had was dropping, it was that the consumption was going through the roof,” area director Ian Morrison said.
Here’s the lowdown on CVRD’s fl owdown

If you consider people vot-ing with their feet to be an important measuring stick, then our community is a popular place.
Between 2006 and 2011, the Duncan area saw a net influx of 1,275 Canadians, a new report says. That makes it the 32nd most popular destination out of 147 Canadian communities surveyed.
In its report, released Sept. 15, the Island Coastal Economic Trust said of those, a net total of 130 people age 25 to 49, chose to make Duncan home, ranking the community 60th out of the 147 in that category for Canadian urban centres included in the study.
“And despite Vancouver Island’s reputation as attracting only retirees, all seven urban areas in the ICET region saw positive net migration for those in the prime working years,” the report reads. Nanaimo, Courtenay, Parksville, Campbell River, Powell River and Port Alberni were also included in the study.
That said, older people certainly were leading the charge. Between 2006 and 2011, 1,270 people 50 and older moved to Duncan area. Parksville and Courtenay ranked fifth and sixth respectively.
“Rankings for the 50-plus age range are more reflective of pure quality of life as employment becomes less and less of a pressing concern past age 50,” the report said. “British Columbia has seven communities in the top 10, while Nanaimo and Duncan rank in the top 15.”
That was balanced by an out-ward migration among the young-est demographic. During the same
period, a net 125 people under the age of 25 left the community.
The ICET, a $50 million endow-ment established by the B.C. government to help diversify the economies of central and northern Vancouver Island and the Sun-shine Coast.
In its study, the organization used data from Stats Canada’s 2011 NHS, the voluntary survey that replaced the former long-form cen-sus. It tracked migration based on a comparison of where residents were living in 2011 compared to where they were living as of the 2006 census. It only included people who lived in Canada in both 2006 and 2011.
Geographically, it defined the Duncan area as the municipalities of Duncan and North Cowichan; the Cowichan Valley Regional District electoral areas D and E; and surrounding First Nation reserves.
Panning the “best places to live in Canada lists,” that pop up in the media every few months, the ICET review states “these oft-subjective
lists,” are lacking.“The Island Coastal Eco-
nomic Trust decided to do its own analysis with a different — and incredibly straightforward — methodology,” the news release reads. “The communities that are most desirable as places to live, are quite simply, the communities that attract the most new residents compared to the number of resi-dents who move away.”
“The bottom line is that there are a wide range of subjective lifestyle factors that people consider,” said Line Robert, ICET’s CEO. “The number of days of rain may not matter if it means there is no snow to shovel and you can golf, mountain bike and play soccer year round.
“We feel the best measure is looking at how many new people, especially the young community-building demographic, are choos-ing to make our communities their home for the long term.”

Affordable housing for seniors, families, singles, and home-less folks is needed in North Cowichan.
But a proposal to build it beside the Somenos Marsh dike, along Beverly Street, has left Mayor Jon Lefebure at odds with the vision of councillor and mayoral candi-date John Koury.
Basically, Koury believes affordable-housing projects are possible for public and private lands — including the old school board site — on both sides of Beverly and stretching to Lakes Road, while conserving marsh wetlands.
“A natural boundary has been provided with the building of the dike,” he said. “We can zone the dry side of the dike along Beverly for a nice mix of commercial and residential purposes.
“On the wet side of the dike, we can pursue plans to conserve wetlands in Somenos Marsh. The trail on top of the dike provides a great amenity for seniors and families who would live there.”
But Lefebure said there are less-expensive — and less eco-sensitive — places to build affordable, high-density housing in and around the municipality’s desig-nated University Village area.
“I was opposed to moving our urban-containment boundary to the dike. Land behind the dike is more valuable for environmental purposes, and unsuitable for the kind of development Councillor Koury’s talking about.
“Any construction on the dry side of the dike must be built to
the 200-year ood level. You’re talking about starting (raised) living space at roughly the height of the dike, plus soil conditions aren’t good there.”
Poor soils spell spending to duck potential ooding, the mayor indicated.
“Designed living space would start up in the air, and underneath could be available for parking. Generally, with poor soils it’s more expensive for roads and parking. You have to remove poor soils and replace them with good soils.”
However, Koury suggested with the dike in place “we know there will likely never be another ood on the dry side. It now makes sense to move the urban-contain-ment boundary along the dike.
“Last year we were going to build a police station on Beverly. That plan has been reduced to a proposed man-made swamp instead,” he said, touting op-portunities to partner with the province and the private sector to build seniors complex-care and assisted-living facilities.
“Brand new infrastructure (along Beverly) must now do more than service one side of the street.”
Still, Lefebure insisted “there are huge practical reasons this (Beverly-dike ribbon) would not be easily suitable for affordable housing.”
“Our planning is around our urban-growth boundaries, and initiatives for high-density hous-ing will lead to more affordable housing. With high-density, you end up with naturally smaller units, and lower prices.”
Koury’s price point for seniors housing could follow that of Duncan’s Sunridge Place.
“They have a formula for their residents based on their ability to pay.
“And I understand $250,000 is an attainable price point for folks just entering the housing market, with interest rates (low) as they
are.”Koury nixed more studies
(“North Cowichan spent over $1 million on consultants last year”), citing an existing one about hous-ing Cowichan’s homeless folks.
“If we can ll the market for seniors on low incomes with health-care needs, we’ll have made great strides to deal with affordable housing.”
His own strides include fueling
council’s drive toward an elusive bylaw for more affordable, legal, secondary suites.
“People can build secondary suites in new developments, but it’s supposed to be dealt with un-der a bylaw review,” said Koury.
Both men were proud of North Cowichan’s tax incentive to build affordable housing in the Univer-
sity Village, Crofton and Chemainus.
Lefebure — who has yet to con rm whether he is running for re-election — has said it’s simply council’s job
to “set the table” for developers serving plans to council.
“We have to set the table, but also send invites for dinner,” countered Koury.
“We’d sit down with the invest-ment community and show them what we bring to lands we own, and tax-free zones.
“We’ll show them what a suc-cessful development would look like, reduce time lines, and nd appropriate partners with where-withall to see a capital project through to the end.”

North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP are con rming Jakob Taylor has been located safe and sound.
The 22-year-old Dun-can man was reported missing after he left his residence Monday, Sept. 15 and had not been seen since.
Police did not provide any details about where Taylor was located, but issued a thanks to the media and public for providing assistance.

“The current source that contami-nates shell sh comes from fecal (waste) from farms up the Koksilah River, that mixes with the Cowichan River.”
David Slade and Rodger Hunter of the Cowichan Watershed Board have identi- ed 20 offending farms on the Koksilah and approached them to develop a group best-practices plan as to when
they spread manure, said Lefebure.“We hope this is the next step that leads
to harvesting shell sh in the bay in future.”The mayor dismissed the idea of fur-
ther treating lagoons’ waste to drinking-water standards, to dodge the outfall move.
“We’re signi cantly above standards we’re required to meet. You could spend huge amounts of money to make small (treatment) improvements.”

The case forOne bear defecating in the woods
does not an environmental disaster make.
One hundred bears doing the same thing in your kitchen? Now that’s a concern.
That’s why a plan to move Duncan’s sewage outfl ow pipe away from the sensitive Cowichan River and into the deep water and powerful tidal action of Satellite Channel makes a lot of sense.
Seeing both sides of: moving the sewage pipeSeeing both sides of: moving the sewage pipeSeeing both sides of: moving the sewage pipeThe case againstThe Satellite Channel proposal is a
half-measure that should satisfy no one.Responsible environmentalists will see
this as simply moving our human waste problem from one spot to another.
Tax watchdogs will question a $22 mil-lion expense in order to “fi x” something that does not actually need fi xing.
It is the type of political compromise that should have Cowichan residents growling.Sewage treatment plans include moving the outfl ow
pipe far beyond Cowichan Bay.

So, can we start talking about a south end Eco-Depot now?
It’s coming up on an entire term-of-of ce for our elected of cials, and the debate/ ght/debacle —
whatever you want to call it — started way before the previous election.
By the time the referendum was defeated, and the court case ruled against the CVRD’s plans, I’d like to think pretty much everyone — especially politicians and CVRD staff — were so sick of dealing with the whole thing, they’d rather keep holding a spoon onto a live grenade, with the pin pulled, than jump into another conversation about the Eco Depot.
I know there are readers out there who are probably already planning a heated response to what I’ve written so far, without even knowing what I’m about to write, because
that’s how divisive that whole time was.But here’s what’s happened since we were
last debating this issue: MMBC took control of our action, the CVRD got the new trucks and recycling totes, and the community multi-bins are gone. What’s accepted and what’s not has changed.
So, some good, some bad.I’m going to cut right to the chase here. If
you want to get people to recycle as much as possible, you have to make it very easy, you have to make it very convenient, and — very importantly — you have to make it very free.
The industry I work in creates a ton of plastic bags. I mean, how else are you going to package 500 paintballs that are affected by moisture and humidity, other than using sealed plastic bags?
When CVRD recycling accepted plastic bags anywhere possible, I lost count after I’d diverted more than 50 garbage bags crammed full of plastic bags.
Now, there are no plastic bags permit-ted in our pick-up services.
Also, no glass. Also, all this styrofoam I have. Also, all this metal that’s not food
cans. Spray paint, pesticide spray cans? No.So what I have is a pile of potentially
recyclable materials, and materials that really require a responsible disposal, but I’d have to drive them up to Bings Creek, on my day off.
So there is a cost of my gas and my time, and that is ridiculously valuable.
You know what’s easier? Just chucking all this crap into the garbage.
And that’s the problem. With no free, convenient, easy access
to comprehensive recycling, it goes in the garbage.
I’m a guy that cares about this kind of thing. But when it becomes dif cult, or requires more effort, I’m seriously losing
my will to care. That’s just me — who really cares — so imagine what everyone who doesn’t care is doing.
That’s why I see posts on Facebook about garbage dumped in dark corners of Shawni-gan village.
That’s why there’s a couch or a bunch of trash dumped in front of a forestry gate every now and again.
Locals are using words not t for print to describe their frustration with both the dumping, and the lack of an alternative.
If the CVRD is going to come on strong, and back up its zero-waste goal, establishing a south end Eco-Depot is critical
Jay Siska writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial. Reach him at [email protected].
Can we start talking south-end recycling depot yet?

Send restructure second thoughts back to schoolMerger talks: an amalgamation worth considering
It’s interesting that talk about increasing government ef- ciency in Cowichan inevitably turns into a debate about redrawing municipal boundaries.
Because we see another opportunity for greater gains that is rarely discussed, if ever.
We are talking about dissolving school districts and turning over their assets, their provincial government funding and their decision-making powers to local municipalities and/or regional
districts.The essential problem with school
districts is the fact communities expect schools to do so much more than just teach class, but the province barely provides enough money to take care of the education portion.
Not only could local councils raise taxes to fund any school services the community deems necessary, the merging of resources could open all kinds of ef ciencies and opportunities.
The crossovers are many. Countless synergies can be found.Why is there one large library at Cowichan secondary and an-
other a few hundred metres away at the Island Savings Centre?Why are we looking to add meeting rooms to the Kerry Park
rec centre, when there are dozens of classrooms sitting empty and unused every evening and weekend just down the road at Frances Kelsey school?
Why is there a beautiful track and a gorgeous eld hockey pitch on Chester eld Street, and a track and eld a few blocks away at Cow High looks like it’s from a Third World country?
Can’t city workers pick up the slack caused by a lack of school district facilities maintenance funding? Can’t the under-used municipal transit system help get kids to and from school? Can’t school facilities be better utilized to meet the community demands of local people too old or too young for school?
Isn’t it time we considered something new?
We say:Here’s an option that deserves some consideration

Lakeshore property owners deserve fair treatmentDear editor
Trying to paint the lakefront property owners as the bad guys in the weir situation is short-sighted and inappropri-ate. If a solution is to be found in a timely manner it is essential all stakeholders be involved in meaningful consultation. Property rights aside, we live in a democracy that protects the rights of the minority to ensure fair and reasonable treatment for all. Also, let’s not forget that the existing water licence for the Crofton mill is very clear that the licence holder (and not the taxpapayer) is responsible for all costs associated with ensuring a river ow of seven cubic metres per second at the weir. Ask why this is not being enforced.Mike Dixcomments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com
Why aren’t the logging fi rms making sacrifi ces? Dear editor
I sit and read newspaper stories about the Cowichan River drought and the comments people write in and am totally bewildered. Is this not Canada where we are living? Is it not supposed to be a democracy? In the Canada where I was born and raised, greedy corporations and developers do not get to crush individuals; 300 lakefront property owners do not have their property destroyed to please the masses. I have lived on my lakefront property for 30 years. For that entire time I have been speaking out to protect
the lake “for everyone.” I have advocated protecting the Cowichan watershed for 30 years. At this time in history, we are not allowed to speak of this at the board meet-ings. No one is allowed to ask why the watershed is being clear-cut from the waterside to the top of the mountain, destroying the forest’s ability to store water for our use. The logging is probably a greater cause of these very low water levels than climate change. I can remem-ber years when it didn’t rain until the end of September or later and the lake levels were not this low. But we had more trees then.
Why is logging left out of the equation when it comes to protecting our (and I mean everyone’s) water resource? Oh yes, pro ts for the corporations. Why should I give up my beauti-ful lakeshore property for the betterment of the masses, when the corporations are not asked to give up a few bucks to aid in pre-serving the resource that everyone is so concerned about?Don FernCowichan Lake
When the river runs dry, there is no going back Dear editor
Wow, taxpayers from the CVRD pay $40,000 to save Cowichan River salmon, when the Crofton mill pays a meagre $25,000? It seems pretty shallow — pardon the pun — when the majority of the water usage ows to the mill. When future genera-tions of salmon can no longer swim and spawn in this sacred river, when children and families can no longer play, or wade in, or sh, there will be no amount of money or resources to give back what was magically, beautifully ours.Franya Elizabethcomments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com
Value a more important consideration than costDear editor
The Cowichan Taxbusters have been getting a good deal of attention recently. I looked at their website. Paraphrasing Oscar Wilde, they seem to see the cost
of everything and the value of nothing.
I live in a very comfortable but modest home in a nice neighbour-hood in North Cowichan with enough land to grow food and owers and hold a garden party. My municipal taxes, after the homeowner grant, work out to about $120 per month. For this modest payment, I am provided with water, sewer, roads, garbage collection, recycling, hospital, library, parks, trails, swimming pool, community centre, hockey rink, 911 service, community organizations, public transit, re protection, building inspectors, bylaw enforcement, police protec-tion, and probably other things I have forgotten.
There is more, much more, to
local government than simply keeping taxes and costs low. Local government decisions should support healthy communities that include everyone; young and old, poor as well as the wealthy, cyclists and pedestrians as well as motorists, renters and land-owners. Development decisions should be based on more than short-term pro ts for builders, savings for local government, or low taxes for wealthy landowners.
In the coming municipal elections, let’s have a conversation about gov-erning rather than taxes. What can government do to make Cowichan a healthier, safer, more inclusive, and friendlier place for everyone who lives here? If that costs me a few more dollars, it’s no big deal.John ScullNorth Cowichan
Will talk in Mill Bay, not DuncanDear editor
Many thanks for the Sept. 24 story about an Elder College course regarding new laws for making wills, etc. Unfortunately the location given for the talk is incorrect. David Pope will be giving this course at Kerry Park Recreation Centre in Mill Bay on Oct 9, 1:30 to 3 p.m. not the Island Savings Centre.
This fall the Advisory Commit-tee for Elder College organized several courses for the Kerry Park venue.Judy BaeckmannMill Bay

Thirty and 40-year-olds are getting more involved, and I’d rather see them run as they have more work and life experience.”

Lumber yards worried about war’s impactDateline 1939: Mills busy but new orders dry up Ann AndersenNews Leader Pictorial
Less than a month after the outbreak of the Second World War, gloomy fears the war would immediately paralyze Cowichan’s lumber industry appeared groundless.
Every major mill was still running, and ships were at docks loading lumber. But as September 1939 drew to
a close, no one knew if and when more ships would arrive. “There are enough ships on the Paci c coast to carry lumber
until late September, but after that time I can’t be sure,” said Mr. G. E. Wellburn of Wellburn Timbers Ltds., Deerholme.
Locals were worried: the lumber industry in Cowichan had more than 2,000 men on its direct payroll and hundreds more depended on it. The Victoria Lumber & Manufacturing Co. Ltd. at Chemainus employed more than 800 men. Four hun-dred worked at Hillcrest, 300 at Paldi’s Mayo Bros., 650 in two shifts at Youbou and 60 at Wellburn’s. Dozens more helped run smaller mills.
The industry kept logging train crews at work and provided district longshoremen with practically the whole of their employ-ment. “I don’t know any more than anybody else does (about what will happen),” said Chemainus mill manager J. A. Humbird. The mill was lling standing orders but had not received any new ones for a week.

Autumn brings bounty from the fields, grapes from the vines, a craving for comfort foods and a transition to the warmth and cosiness of our indoor spaces. An ideal time to celebrate food, wine, arts and culture. And what better place to do that than in Downtown Duncan where we have it all? Downtown is revving up for its own unique Savour Downtown Duncan. With an opportunity to win a FAB gift basket full of treats and gift certificates is the Passport to Downtown Duncan – available at all participating businesses and on the website (www.downtownduncan.ca). From September 26 through October 5 drop into as many of our awesome eateries, savour an offering and have your Passport stamped – the more stamps, the more chances to win! Downtown Duncan is home to an outstanding selection of fantastic restaurants and cafes. Whether you are interested in an elegant culinary experience in an award winning restaurant, a morning latte while catching up with old friends or a quick bite on the run – there is something for every palate and wallet in downtown Duncan. A sampling of special events including
demos and tastings during Savour Downtown:
Hudson’s on First – Bubbles & Brunch and Grape to Plate cooking class - ongoingCowichan Green Community – Cowichan Community Culinary Festival – October 4Duncan Garage Cafe Smoothie Tasting - Sept 28, 12 -2Duncan Farmer’s Market – September 27 & October 4
Downtown Duncan can proudly boast a rich and dynamic arts and cultural scene starting with the world famous totem pole collection and continuing with the outstanding outdoor exhibits available to all 24/7. Galleries abound downtown, showcasing the particularly diverse Cowichan Valley artistic community – Benchmark, E.J. Hughes, Station Street Gallery and Imagine That! And do not forget Coco Jones Studio, tucked in behind the Red Balloon Toy Shop, accessed from the Kenneth Street parking lot. And just as a Red Umbrella brightens a rainy day and Art transforms a blank wall, Under the Red Umbrella turns downtown Duncan shops and restaurants into Galleries of Art
for a truly special evening. The brainchild of Cynthia Rome, to showcase the works of the many local female artists, seven years later this fabulous event has grown to include more than twenty downtown businesses and a wide range of artists – no longer restricted to women only! On Thursday October 16, from 5pm to 9pm, downtown Duncan will become a pop up art gallery that you will not want to miss. Bring a friend, a partner, a husband, or come by yourself and soak up the wonderful ambience Under the Red Umbrella. The Cowichan Valley is home to so many gifted artists of such distinction – painters, sculptures, writers, silversmiths, seamstresses, jewelers, graphic artists, poets, actors, musicians … You are invited to support these artists and Downtown Duncan merchants by attending this fun event. Simply look for the red umbrellas displayed by participating businesses and maps will be available in early October showing participating businesses and the artist they are displaying.

There were big winners all around during the second-annual Georgina Falt Memorial
Mind Games Music Trivia fundraiser Saturday at the Duncan Community Lodge.
The 100-plus players who attended teamed up in groups of ve to nine people and joined community support-ers to raise $4,580 for the Alzheimer Society of B.C., nearly $2,000 more than last year’s inaugural event.
Player entries accounted for $2,430 of the total, with an additional $1,215 from personal donations, $725 from raf e proceeds and $210 from Debra Hartlen’s Epicure sales. Numerous prizes were donated by individuals and businesses from around the mid- and south-Island region and awarded in random draws.
The proceeds will go towards programs and services in support of persons with Alzheimer’s or related dementias.
Participants in the music trivia game battled through 10 rounds of identifying song titles, artists and round themes. The overall champs by a slim margin, were the Victoria team of Dan Salmon, Peter Smith, Loralee Smyth, David Marshall, Stephen Smith, Lori Willson and Denis Stokes — known as Former Drummers of Spinal Tap.
Second was Jeff and Shelley Harrison’s He-BGB group. Jeff runs music trivia at the Horseshoe Bay Inn in Che-
mainus Friday nights.Third was the Nanaimo
contingent known as McK-enzie and The Mishmashed Music Maniacs and led by Colette Dame.
Players also came from Van-couver and around the valley to take part.
The Clippers team did well in the major raf e prize draws. Richard Gent won a Kevin Bieksa-autographed Vancouver Canucks’ jersey while Rosie Lawlor received a combination of Chemainus Theatre Festival tickets and a homemade afghan by Mar-line Coleman.
Ade Breen, a former News Leader Pictorial reporter, was the recipient of a one-night stay in a spa bungalow studio at Tigh-Na-Mara Resort in Parksville.

The recent teach-ers’ strike has impacted schools’ fundraising abilities for the
Tour de Rock, but riders are still excited about visiting schools, a tour co-ordinator said.
“We expect the schools’ fundraising to be lower than in previous years; a lot of schools have told us that,” co-ordinator Katie Crowe
said. “Fundraising is im-portant, but it’s not the only reason we go to the schools. It’s important to connect with the kids.”
The Tour de Rock is a two-week bicycle journey where a team of police of cers rides 1,000 kilometres from the north end of Vancouver Island to the south, raising money to ght childhood cancer.
Since 1998, the Tour has raised close to $20 million for the Canadian Cancer So-ciety, which uses the money to fund pediatric cancer research and programs that help children with cancer and their families.
Beth Avis, an auxiliary of- cer, is the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP’s team member this year.
Crowe said students
normally spend the rst few weeks of September fund-raising for the cause and then present the money when the team arrives.
But with students not start-ing school until Sept. 22, that might not be the case this year.
Some of the schools will use the visit by the Tour de Rock team as a kickoff to their fundraising and donate the money after the tour is over, she said.
Tour members will visit nine Cowichan Val-ley Schools: Chemainus Elementary, Lake Cowichan School, Palsson Elementary, Drinkwater Elementary, Tansor Elementary, Queen Margaret’s School, Maple Bay Elementary, Shawnigan Lake School, and Frances Kelsey.

BIG EVENT
Unique mix of Latin sounds comes to Mill BayGot a comment or a story?email [email protected]
phone 250-746-4471 Pianist Gabriel Palatchi brings an Argentin-ian touch to the music scene in Mill Bay this week.
Palatchi leads his Gabriel Palatchi Trio (with Kerry Galloway on bass and Kelby MacNayr on drums) in a Sylvan Jazz Vespers concert Saturday.
“With deep roots in Afro-Cuban and Latin
jazz, he has fused together an original sound and style of music that includes tango, Arabian, salsa, funk and electronic,” an event media release states.
Born in Buenos Aires and currently based in Toronto, Palatchi cut his teeth in his native land before moving on to the Berklee Interna-tional School, followed by immersion into the
musical scenes of Cuba and Mexico.He has studied under many great maestros
of blues, tango, jazz and Latin jazz such as Al-varo Torres, Ricardo Nole and Ernesto Jodos.
This all-music concert starts at 7 p.m. at 985 Shawnigan Mill Bay Rd., next to Frances Kelsey School. Admission is a suggested donation of $10 at the door.

LA FLAM, Leah Clarke La Flam (nee Gromme)
March 6, 1949 – September 22, 2014
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of our loving wife, mother and grandmother after a long courageous battle with ALS, on September 22, 2014 at home in Duncan, B.C., surrounded by family. Leah was born on March 6, 1949 in San Francisco, California, and made the Cowichan Valley her home over the last forty years. Leah will be remembered as an unconditionally loving and compassionate mother, and for her exceptional talents in baking, sewing, bead crafting and lamp making. Family was always Leah’s #1 priority and this was felt by all those who loved her. She did everything possible to shelter her sons and grandson from life’s tribulations and always sought to bring them happiness and peace. She is survived by her loving husband and friend, Guy La Flam, and her four sons and grandson, who all loved her deeply and will miss her greatly. Her family would like to recognize the unbreakable bond Leah and her father had, and the comfort and affection he gave her through all the years. She truly cherished their relationship. Leah was also blessed to have the most wonderful friends that anyone could ask for. She held those friendships close to her heart, had innumerable joyous moments with them and they were always there for her when she needed them. A Celebration of Life will be held with her close friends and family on the land which she loved so much. She will be profoundly missed and remembered fondly.Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

CANNING, Robert RalphFebruary 29, 1920 – August 22, 2014
We would like “Ralph’s” friends to know that he passed away, quietly in his sleep, during the early morning of 22 AUG 2014 in Delta B.C., in the Waterford Care facility. He had come here to be closer to family after “Mom” (Sylvia Valerie Canning) passed away in 2008.Ralph was born on the 9th of February 1920 in Montreal, PQ, the son of Robert James and Corenna Canning, and moved to Ottawa ON where he attended school, met his wife-to-be and then joined the RCAF when his Country called in WWII. He was discharged from the RCAF at the end of WWII and, after a short time working in Ottawa he “heard the call again” and moved to Regina to become an Instructor at RCMP Depot Division, proudly retiring in 1977 as a S/Sgt, having mastered instructing in many academic fields and led the way in development of many field police techniques such as underwater Search/Recovery in the Force and was personally decorated by Lord Louis Mountbatten on behalf of the Royal Life Saving Society. During his time in Regina Ralph was an active member of the RNWMP Masons and Drum Major for the Regina Shrine Club. He retired to Duncan, B.C., after leaving the Force and thoroughly enjoyed fishing in local waters, regular reservations at the golf course, international travel to more than 60 different countries and always enjoyed his once-a-week coffee with other retired Members, just to keep in touch. Ralph was predeceased by Sylvia Valerie, his wife of 67 years and is survived by his two sons, David (Elaine), Christopher (Mary), grand-children Janice, Julie (David), Christine and David (Emily), and great-grandchildren Ryan and Alexander.Services to be conducted in Regina, SK, on 03 OCT 2014 in the RCMP Chapel and Columbarium in Depot Division. In lieu of flowers, a donation to an organization of your choice is suggested.

A mere shootout separated Shawnigan Lake School’s senior girls’ field hockey team from the title of the Independent Schools As-
sociation tournament at Crofton House in Vancouver.
Shawnigan battled to a 1-1 tie with host Crofton House in the final, but lost in the shootout to settle for second place in the eight-team tournament that also included Brentwood College.
“It’s a strong team,’’ coach Kelly Ko-epp said of her Shawnigan girls. “We have the new water-based turf which allows them to highlight the skills we’ve been focusing on the last couple of years.’’
Shawnigan won all three of its pool games over St. Michael’s University School 2-0, Southridge 8-1 and York House 3-0.
“All in all, they did a good job,’’ said Koepp.
“We’re working on getting more con-nected as a team. They haven’t found their groove yet. That’s what these pre-season tournaments are for.’’
Shawnigan held a 1-0 lead on Crofton House in the final until the last four minutes of regulation when a “10-sec-ond lapse,’’ according to Koepp, led to the equalizer.
Casey Crowley was a standout for Shawnigan and Grade 11 student Tai Williams has taken a huge step forward in her abilities.
Nicole Fredrickson scored a natural hat trick in the Southridge game.
“It was really important for her be-cause she’s a forward and she needs to have these goal-scoring opportunities,’’
said Koepp.Brentwood made a strong showing in
its pool, beating Glenlyon 3-0, losing 3-0 to Collingwood and then holding its own against Crofton House in a 1-0 defeat.
“It was good hockey,’’ said coach Al-anna Martin, who has Miranda Mann assisting her this season. “We’ve got a young team. I’ve got two returning Grade 12s that are experienced.’’
The Glenlyon game was great because “we were able to play a lot of our bench and get everybody in,’’ said Martin.
One glaring thing emerged to the coach in the Collingwood game. “We’ve got to teach the kids how to get the ball out of our own end, using sweeps and all those turf skills,’’ said Martin.
After the hard battle with Crofton House, Brentwood closed it out with a 1-0 win over Southridge in the cross-over game and utilized all of its bench players for the experience.

Cowichan Lawn Bowling Club members showed they’re among the cream of the crop compared to other club champions in
the region.The ladies’ duo of Phyl Ingram and
Joan Wilson proved that by winning the B.C. Bowls pairs tournament — also known as the Champions of Champions event — at the Victoria Lawn Bowling Club.
It was quite a finish for the local ladies, as they pulled off the victory in a field of 16 teams for the gold medal and won $360.
Gord Fall and Roy Wilkinson also made it a double-double for Cowichan before settling for second place and the silver medal in the men’s pairs.
There were 19 teams in the men’s event and Fall and Wilkinson were rewarded with $220 for their efforts.
Meanwhile, Annie Dougherty held her own during the Champ of Champs, placing second during the ladies’ novice games.
The men’s two bowl six-pack tourna-
ment brought a solid showing from Cowichan teams.
Jim Irvine, Paul Gallagher and Clint Bailey finished second; Bill Tyschirhart, Jim Nivison and Jim Brown came sixth; and Ross Bulley, Tom Slemko and Roy Jaskow wound up eighth.

Cowichan Rugby Club’s women’s team is working out the kinks from the sum-mer break in exhibi-
tion play.The first of three exhibi-
tion games took Cowichan to Nanaimo two weekends ago. Cowichan ended up shorthanded with 14 players and then Quinn Battie was yellow-carded for a
high tackle 10 minutes into the game and left the team 13 against 15 for 10 minutes of the opening half.
Cowichan managed to hang in there, tied at 26 at the break.
“But in the late part of the game, Nanaimo ended up getting a couple of more on us and won the game,’’ noted Cowichan’s Sherry Spence.
Player of the game honours for Cowichan went to Battie for scoring three tries and Nenagh McCulloch among the forwards.
Last weekend’s tilt was against Comox, a team playing in the Div. 2 league this season.
Comox only came down with nine players so Spence, Bristine Gibbons and Angie Davies switched sides to make it a 12-aside game. Cowichan ended up victorious 47-17.
Comox awarded McCulloch and Michelle Moore with players of the game honours.
The last exhibition game will be a challenge against Premier side Velox in Victoria this weekend.
Cowichan women back in action
Brakes are applied to Nenagh McCulloch of Cowichan by Comox Valley’s Dana Beirnes to prevent her from running away.

Track and field and archery were the dominant sports for Cowichan Valley athletes dur-ing the B.C. Seniors Games in Langley that yielded the bulk
of the region’s medal haul.Duncan runner Hazura Sangha, 82,
did his usual thing with medals in all five of his events — gold in the 10K and 5K runs and silver in the 400, 800 and 1,500 metres.
“It was wonderful,’’ said Sangha, who’s been part of the games experience every year for two straight decades. “It was a very well-attended event. They were very well-organized.’’
Sangha’s commitment to training paid off. “I continue practicing throughout the year,’’ he said.
Sangha runs about 12K every second day on the road and goes to the track twice a week to keep in synch for the shorter distances.
Other results on the track included: a pair of gold medals for Richard Ger-sthofer of Duncan in the 85-89 10K road walk and the 5,000 metre power walk.
Honeymoon Bay’s Lue Kerr swept gold for the men’s 75-79 10K road race, 5,000 metres and 800 metres while Marg Radcliffe of Lake Cowichan earned gold in women’s 70-74 discus, shot put and javelin and silver in the 100 metres and Doug Miller of Cobble Hill just missed a medal in his numerous events with a
fourth in the 70-74 800 metres standing out as his best result.
In target archery, Duncan’s Gord Stone was a gold medalist in 55-59 recurve; Brian Painter earned gold in 60-64 re-curve; Roger Walker struck gold in 65-69 recurve; Bruce Peters claimed silver in the longbow and Randy Granbois captured bronze for 65-69 compound with sight and release.
In 3D shooting, Stone and Painter both won gold while Walker earned silver and Granbois and Peters both came home with bronze.
The Zone 1 Bruins hockey team that won bronze in 65+ included Cobble Hill’s Don Petrie.
The South Island Rangers 55+ soccer team came through for the silver medal, with Duncan’s Will Chaster and Pat Smith of Lake Cowichan included on the roster.
Vancouver Island Mariners had four valley players on the team — Alan Crisp and Max Bossi of Duncan plus Mill Bay’s John Garvey and Alan Demelt of Lake Cowichan — that received the silver for 65+ soccer.
And Mill Bay’s Bob Mackie was part of the South Island Pirates 60+ soccer team that won a bronze medal.
Victoria Sea Gals won a bronze medal in 55-59 women’s slo-pitch, with Dun-can’s Julie Lindsay playing a role in the outcome.
Next year the games will be held in North Vancouver and rebranded as the 55+ B.C. Games.

The Shawnigan Lake School Open squash tournament always features a high stan-dard of play, but this year’s event reached another level again.
Many of the matches were fiercely-contested and not decided until the last point in the fifth game.
“It is fantastic to see the concentration and determi-nation on these young faces,’’ noted Mike Johnson, the head squash coach at Shawnigan. “All of the matches are being played in such good spirit.’’
The tournament ran Friday through Sunday and heralded the start of the 2014-15 sanctioned junior squash tournaments in B.C. Spectators witnessed top-notch play from many top-10 ranked B.C. players who are also in the top 10 for all of Canada.
Players studying in Canada from Egypt, Korea, China, the Czech Republic, Scotland and the United States were among the 80 participants.
The tournament was a huge success for the Shawni-gan team, with all its players showing the benefits of their hard training with Johnson.
“The boys and girls won seven of the 10 categories,’’ Johnson indicated. “I am so proud of our players. They have really come a long way.’’
Grade 12 student Bransten Ming won the boys’ gold and Grade 10 student Nour Elhendawi the girls’ gold. Grade 10 cousins Zoe Colclough and Ryan Picken were the respective girls’ and boys’ Gold Plate champs in hard-fought matches.
Jamie Ash beat Grade 12 student Nick Carpentier for the Bronze title while Justin Miles (Grade 9) won the Bronze Plate and Graydon McDonnell (Grade 11) the Bronze Consolation.
Official sponsors were: Taiji Communications Corp., Bowmel.com, Bridgman’s Bistro, Centre Court Rac-quets of Victoria and Nik West Photography.
The Shawnigan Lake School squash program also incorporates the community with an adult drop-in on Thursday nights and a program for children ages six to 12 of any experience level on Sunday mornings.
submittedShawnigan Lake School trophy winners in the annual Shawnigan Open squash tournament included Nour Elhendawi and Bransten Ming with headmaster Dave Robertson and squash coach Mike Johnson.

Hillclimb racers meet the challengeGot a sports story?email [email protected] 250-856-0045 The annual motorcycle hillclimb
event in Port Angeles, Washing-ton is always well-attended by a dedicated group of local riders from the Cowichan Valley.
The 400-foot hill provides a challenge, but the group was successful in several classes dur-
ing the two-day event.Racers from the valley have
been attending the event, hosted by the Olympic Peninsula Motorcycle Club, for more than 20 years and the next generation is following the pace set by the elders.

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat
Journey to a sparkling luxury Okanagan resortThe Dodge Journey is a versatile crossover vehicle that easily trans-forms from a weekday workhorse to a luxury weekend-getaway vehicle.In recent years, yours truly has had the opportunity to put suc-ceeding models of the seven-seat-er through the daily paces around Metro Vancouver, hauling human cargo and on one occasion toting many boxes while helping one of my kids move home!I now see that four lucky readers put a Dodge Journey’s week-end-getaway abilities to the test, during a stay at the luxurious Sparkling Hill Resort, which is nes-tled in the mountains near Vernon (see contest details on this page).The accommodation, which is truly a health and wellness destination, will certainly not disappoint. I stayed there recently while attending a new car launch. The facilities at Sparkling Hill’s KurSpa are incredible, offering more than 100 different spa treatments.The 40,000 square-foot European-inspired spa is the largest spa in Canada, featuring seven
aromatherapy, steam and sauna rooms, hot pool, outdoor infinity pool and an indoor salt-water serenity pool with underwater music and Swarovski crystal night sky! The adventurous among the foursome should brave North America’s first European Cy-rotherapy Cold Sauna. There will be a moment during the sub-zero temperature stage when one’s sanity will be questioned but the afterglow will be worth it!Anyway, I’m the car guy not health advisor so here are some tips on how and where to get the most out of the Journey for the weekend. I’ve done quite a bit of wine research in the area so we’ll start there…a designated driver will be required!One of my nearby favourites is
Arrowleaf Cellars, a family operated winery located nearby at 1574 Camp Road, in Lake Country. It specializes in cool-climate wines and I recommend the Bacchus (arrowleafcellars.com). Next door is the Ex Nihilo Winery, which has an awesome building and a very crisp Ries-
ling (exnihilovineyards.com). A few minutes’ drive along Camp Road brings you to the Gray Monk Estate Winery and ideal lunch spot. Many photo opps along the way and still more from the vantage point of the deck, which overlooks lush vineyards stretching down to Okanagan Lake. The Meadery at Planet Bee, 5011 Bella Vista Road, Vernon, is an intriguing spot. There they make “Honeymoon Mead”, an ancient drink made from fermented honey and water and dubbed the Beverage of Love” (planetbee.com).Downtown Vernon has transformed large 27 blank walls into colourful artists’ canvases depicting Vernon’s rich heritage. They can be viewed either with a guide or you can pick up a self-guided tour booklet. Just a few man-made spots. The northern and central Okanagan’s natural beauty is evident at every turn of the wheel but I would highly recommend a stop above Kalamalka Lake to look down the Coldstream valley. You know, you don’t need to win this prize to enjoy this beautiful area. We’ll carry a review of the Sparkling Hills week-end and drive aboard the Journey in a future edition of Driveway.
‘‘Downtown Vernon has transformed large 27 blank walls into colourful artists’ canvases depicting Vernon’s rich heritage.’’Keith Morgan

The Vauxhall ADAM S looks to be devilishly delicious little car.The 1.4-litre Turbo ECOTEC unit in the ADAM S delivers 50 per cent more power and 70 per cent more torque than its naturally-aspirated 1.4-litre combines with a six-speed manual gearbox, to propel it to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and produces a top speed of 200 km/h.Too bad that we will never see the General Motors UK product on our [email protected]

Andrew LeongNorth Cowichan South End fire crew snuffs out a fully-involved car fire at 3435 Gibbins Road at approximately 1:40 p.m. Monday. The homeowner was changing the car battery of a 1990 Toyota Celica when the incident happened.
North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP are investigating a theft from a boat while also report-ing a ship’s wheel has been turned in.
Cpl. Krista Hobday said a Duncan fisher-man is missing numerous items from a theft that occurred on Aug. 31, when his boat was trailered on Walcot Street overnight.
Two custom fishing rods, both brown Hardy 10x10 rods with a black and silver reel respectively with the inscription: “Built for
Big G” on the handle were stolen.“Our boat owner is very anxious to get his
fishing rods back.” stated Hobday.In an unrelated investigation, on July
25, investigators seized a 24-inch diameter spoke wheel that appears to belong to a boat. Police did not receive any information from the individual that was in possession of the wheel and are hoping a member of the public can assist them in identifying the owner.
“Found property can only be held for so
long at the detachment before it is destroyed if not identified by the owner,” Hobday said.
If you have any information about either incident, contact the police at 250-748-5522, or alternatively Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
You don’t have to reveal your identity to Crime Stoppers and if your information leads to an arrest, the recovery of stolen property or the seizure of illicit drugs, you could be eligible for a cash award.

Friday, September 26, 2014B8 Cowichan News Leader Pictorial
Don BodgerNews Leader Pictorial
The new community playground at Ecole Mount Prevost Elementary School is rapidly taking shape.
“We’re absolutely thrilled with it,’’ said Mona Kaiser of the Ecole
Mount Prevost Parent Advisory Council.Kaiser and Prevost principal Pedro Mengual
took the News Leader Pictorial on a tour of the site during the first day of school Monday. There’s a buzz around the school and the neigh-bourhood about the project and the kids are
anxious to test some of the new apparatus and enjoy the setting.
The playground section was expected to be opened by the end of the week, as workers continued to fill the various areas with differ-ent materials. The fitness area won’t be too far behind, likely by the end of next week.
“They’re pretty close to being completely done,’’ raved Kaiser.
The community project dream became a real-ity when it won an AVIVA Community Fund grand prize. The $125,000 award was a bit short of the total cost, but that’s rapidly been made up through the buying of bricks, benches and trees by the public.
“A variety of local businesses have been help-ing us out with donations of time and materials, and a fleet of parents have been busily helping in whatever way they can,’’ added Kaiser.
Construction began during mid-August and it’s been full speed ahead to completion ever since.
“We went and found some contractors to write us bids on the whole playground project and the contractor that came out on top was Randy Beggs and his Apex Landscaping and Irrigation team,’’ noted Ecole Mount Prevost PAC president Adam Clutchey in a previous email.
It’s been a labour of love in many ways for the community and the workers seeing it all come together.
“The parent committee led by Mona and Adam were fantastic,’’ said Mengual. “They put in a lot of volunteer hours.’’
Graham Gidden, parks and trails planner for the Cowichan Valley Regional District, donated all his time to create the brilliant park design.
There are already nicknames for the distinctive sections so get to know the ‘jelly bean’, a quiet contemplative place, or ‘The Circus’ — Cirque de Prevost — where you’ll find more action than, well, a circus.
There’s an area where picnic tables with check-erboards are being laid out and three whole
classes can be working outdoors at any given time, grassy mounds for tumbling and the rock climber from the front has been moved into the space that’s complete with 30 trees incorporated into the landscaping.
“All the play area will be in the back now,’’ explained Mengual.
“It’s just like a feel-good product,’’ said Kaiser.
