Police want to make the Malahat a safer place.

Just not for speeders.It’s been just two weeks

since the police program Making the Malahat Safer launched, and already 582 speeding tickets have been handed out.

There have been a total of 671 violations — ranging from speed to unsafe commercial vehicles and not wearing seatbelts — in the 14-day span.

“Two weeks into the campaign it is apparent that speed is a serious problem on the Malahat Drive,” Const. Robert Figueiredo said in a media release on Wednesday.

Eleven speed-related tickets have resulted in seven-day vehicle im-poundments due to excessive speed. Of the 582 tickets issued, 80 per cent of violators were travelling at least 20 km/h over the posted speed limit.

There have also been ve impaired drivers nabbed, and two prohibited drivers taken off the road. Com-mercial vehicle safety and enforce-ment of cers have conducted 19 inspections: in 79 per cent of trucks, of cers found violations. Twenty-six per cent were found un t for the road, and taken out of service until repairs were made. The major viola-tions were brake adjustments, lights and tires, police said.

The program, which includes the Capital Regional District’s Integrated Road Safety Unit, South Vancouver Island Traf c Services, Saanich Police, Westshore RCMP, Shawni-gan Lake RCMP and Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement, continues into next week.

Of cers are targeting commercial vehicles and will be on the look-out for proper documentation, licencing, load security and overall safety.

Krista SiefkenNews Leader Pictorial

Hundreds of Cowichanians are joining the ght to see western Canada’s only sh

spa re-opened.The Purple Orchid on Station Street was

forced to shut down its tank of therapeu-tic Garra rufa sh after the Vancouver Island Health Authority got wind of the business.

But sh spa clients, natural medicine advocates and other community members are calling on VIHA to revoke the order.

At least 200 have signed a petition at The Purple Orchid, and more sheets are circulating the community.

Backing their support is a perfect track record for cleanli-ness at the spa — not one infection resulted from a dunk in the tank, and not one complaint has been made.

“People are looking for more natural ways to take

care of themselves, and they’re nding VIHA has been hauling a lot of things in health food shops off the shelves,” said Orchid owner Dixie Simpson.

Local natural medicine advocate, Lorene Benoit, agreed.

“We’re losing all our freedom of choice,” she said. “If people do not start to speak up for their choice in health care, we won’t have any.”

Simpson suspects reaction to the sh spa’s closure in-dicates people are, in fact, ready to ght for alternatives.

“They’re cutting choices for alternative therapy and medicine, and I think people are getting tired of this group babysitting them,” she said. “We’re not children, yet (VIHA) is taking away our choice, even our right, to take care of our bodies in the way we see t.”

The critters in question are dozens of small, toothless — and now unemployed — Garra rufa sh who suck away dead skin particles on client’s feet. They’ve been known to release fatigue by stimulating acupuncture points, and they excrete an enzyme that helps relieve psoriasis and eczema.

Now roped off, the tank still uses a three- lter, UV-ray ltration system to cleanse the water.

Simpson suggested VIHA focus on real areas of

concern, such as hospital cleanliness.“There are bigger sh to fry here,” she said.She wonders how her popular sh are any different

than the maggots used on burn victims, or the leeches that assist with limb transplants — effective forms of medicine that employ less-than-sterile creatures.

“There are a number of differences,” said Dr. Murray Fyfe, a medical health of cer at VIHA.

“Maggots and leeches are not reused; they’re dis-posed of as bio-medical hazards after being used on a client. Fish in this type of setting are allowed to interact with one client and then another, so there’s potential for the transfer of pathogens from one client to the next.”

Fyfe explained the sh carry pathogens that are natu-ral to them but can cause infections in humans.

He added the ultra-violet lter does not clean the water completely, and does nothing to sterilize the sh.

And yet there has never been a case of infection or other health risk due to use of a Garra rufa sh spa.

At The Purple Orchid, Simpson personally inspected all clients’ feet before dropping them in the tank, remov-ing all lotions and other potential sh-harmful products, and ensuring there were no cuts or sores on the skin.

Halalt ruling:Halalt ruling: Observers Observers say ruling about consul-say ruling about consul-tation, not ownership of tation, not ownership of waterwaterPeter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial

Halalt First Nation’s recent B.C. supreme-court win concerning North Cowichan’s use of its aquifer has set

a national, and maybe an interna-tional, benchmark, legal Native law experts say.

“This decision further de nes and sets out responsibilities of govern-ment whenever involved in making decisions affecting rights First Nations people have,” said Robert Morales, Hul’qumi’num Treaty Group’s chief negotiator.

“It’s also an important decision in issues of water, which are of ever-growing importance as a resource, and the Halalt decision will assist the HTG in negotiating with the province in terms of water.”

Justice Catherine Wedge’s 178-page ruling basically nds the provincial environment assessment of ce failed to adequately consult the Halalt before granting North Co-wichan’s well-water use certi cate.

Her ruling turned off taps at the municipality’s new $5.7-million wa-ter well project until Victoria shows proper consultation.

Aboriginal lawyer Chris Devlin explained Wedge whacks Victoria’s knuckles about poor talks with Natives about resources, but he stressed her ruling doesn’t give the Halalt ownership of Chemainus River’s aquifer.

“This is an aquifer under an exist-ing Native reserve and the province could have paid a little more atten-tion to that.

“The takeaway message is that the government has to do a much better

job guring out the nature and scope of potentially affected Aboriginal rights, and this applies to treaty rights.”

Environment ministry agents declined to comment about the case while talking to their lawyers about Wedge’s ruling.

Likewise at North Cowichan.“We need to nd out what the

province wants to do now that they’ve been asked by the judge to further consult,” said administrator Dave Devana.

Devlin seemed to share MP Jean Crowder’s suspicions Victoria may appeal Wedge’s judgment, costing the Halalt, and taxpayers, buckets in legal bills.

“The province loves to appeal

these things,” Devlin said. “They don’t want to give up their claim to groundwater.”

Morales agreed.“We’ve had discussions about

water in the past, and the province has maintained they have ownership of water and absolute management responsibility for water.”

Environmental and social costs of Wedge’s ruling and use of the Cowichan River were also being weighed by Cowichan Tribes Chief Lydia Hwitsum.

“We’re very concerned about any accesses or draws that would negatively impact the quality and quantity of (river) water, especially when it comes to our sheries,” said Hwitsum.

“The courts continue to de ne, for each level of government, its requirement to consult.”

She, Devlin and Morales hinted Halalt’s water ruling likely joins landmark court rulings, such as Delgamuukw versus B.C. (1997), regarding government talks about Aboriginal land claims and re-source use.

“Before (such cases as Halalt and others) there was no legal require-ment to consult,” Hwitsum said.

Morales echoed Hwitsum’s pride in legal precedence.

“The Halalt decision re ects First Nations rights that are beginning to become accepted and implemented through courts and other bodies,” he said.

Police are crediting use of survival suits for a happy ending to a dangerous incident at the valley’s extreme west end last week.

According to Cpl. Krista Hobday of the Lake Cowichan RCMP, a 29-foot aluminum boat struck a rock face on the east side of Nitinat Lake July 9, tossing all seven occupants into the water.

Hobday said all were wearing survival suits

that protected them from the cold water. They swam three meters to shore and were

eventually picked up by a vessel that had been travelling a few kilometres behind their route, and taken to the nearby Dididaht reserve.

Hobday said the occupants of the vessel were family and friends ranging in age from nine- to 56-years-old.

Some were treated for minor injuries includ-

ing scrapes, bruising, and cuts, at Victoria General Hospital, and Nanaimo Regional Hospital before being released.

There was no sign of the vessel from the air the next day and it is presumed sunk.

According to Hobday, police investigation led to the conclusion the driver fell asleep. Alcohol and drugs were not factors and there will not be any charges.

The Echo Heights debate will not be settled until after the fall civic election at the earli-est.

North Cowichan coun-cil decided Wednesday to postpone a hearing about the proposed Chemainus development until sometime after B.C.’s Nov. 19 vote.

Council’s ruling basically avoids legal questions, and citizen criticism of council rushing through expected heavy debate about the publicly owned for-est, North Cowichan Mayor Tom Walker explained.

“The zoning stays for now at second reading with no public hearing date set,” Walker told the News Leader Pictorial.

The hearing was set for Thursday evening but a tech-nical error, found by staff in ads about the hearing, killed that date.

Walker said the human error may have left council open to legal challenges had the July 21 hearing happened.

The next hearing date might have been in August “but August is a holiday month, so it was out,” the mayor said.

An early- to mid-September hearing would have nudged toward the civic elec-tion that will end council’s current term, Walker said.

Time is also needed for staff to answer technical questions about rezoning the 54 acres of public land for proposed green housing and parkland.

Council is proposing 58 per cent of Echo Heights be set aside as green space, while the rest is dedicated to the phased-in development of between 200 and 250 dwellings.

The Chemainus Residents’ Associa-tion and others want all of Echo Heights preserved as parkland.

Critics cite studies showing the forest’s biodiversity, and question the pro tability of developing the site.

Life or death matter of 1.4 Life or death matter of 1.4 seconds, analyst says as seconds, analyst says as Brown trial ready to wrapBrown trial ready to wrapKrista SiefkenNews Leader Pictorial

An extra second, maybe a second and-a-half, and Larry Machnee and Martha Ralph might have had time to react.

They might still be alive today.That sobering thought emerged

Wednesday at the Duncan Law Courts during the testimony of Sharlene Puhallo.

Puhallo, an accident reconstruction engineer, was called to the stand as the only defence witness in the B.C. Supreme Court trial of Lucas Ian Brown.

Brown is charged with two counts of criminal negligence causing death, fail-ing to stop at an accident scene involv-ing death, two counts of breaking and entering, possession of stolen property over $5,000, and possession of a stolen credit card.

The charges stem from the Feb. 20, 2010, deaths of Ralph, 56, and Machnee, 59, who were killed after their Yamaha touring motorcycle was struck near Bamberton by a 2007 Honda that had been stolen in North Vancouver earlier that day.

The driver ed the scene of the crash, police said at the time.

Brown, meanwhile, was arrested without incident near the Mill Bay ferry terminal and remanded into policy custody.

His trial began on July 11 when a six-man, six-woman jury was selected.

It continued Wednesday with the testimony of Puhallo, who provided an expert’s analysis of the crash scene.

Puhallo said her calculations of the crash scene report prepared by the

RCMP found the motorcycle to be travelling at 85 to 95 kilometres per hour at the time of the collision.

The Honda — which Brown is ac-cused of driving — that crashed into the motorcycle would have been travelling at 48 to 52 km/h before braking for the left turn, at which point the speed reduced to 18 to 27 km/h.

Puhallo’s calculations indicate that one to 1.4 seconds and seven metres were all the Honda’s driver needed to complete the turn — but for the motorcycle.

“So two people would have been alive if he (the Honda driver) had that 1.4 seconds, is that what you’re saying?” Crown prosecutor Scott Van Alstine asked.

“Yes,” Puhallo answered.When questioned by Brown’s lawyer,

Don McKay, Puhallo also said Brown “may not have consciously seen the motorcycle.”

She explained motorcycles account for one per cent of registered vehicles, with even less of that gure on the road as not all motorcyclists drive bikes all the time.

“We’re conditioned to look for cars,” Puhallo said.

Van Alstine didn’t buy this argument, and went so far as to say Puhallo was speculating and even advocating on behalf of Brown — a claim she refuted.

Van Alstine reminded the court that the Honda’s driver pulled an illegal left-hand turn across a double-solid yellow line.

Puhallo’s testimony wrapped the evidence portion of the trial.

Closing arguments are scheduled for Friday, and the jury is slated to receive its instructions on Monday morning.

Visit cowichannewsleader.com on Friday afternoon for a report on the clos-ing arguments.

Cowichan Valley MLA is lobbying for new regulations to aid sh spaCowichan Valley MLA is lobbying for new regulations to aid sh spafrom page 1

Fyfe, meanwhile, disputed the belief VIHA is not supportive of alternative forms of medicine.

“There are many alterative forms of therapy that coexist and we recognize the importance of these.”

He said Simpson’s spa, however, falls under provincial Provision of Personal Services regulations. That means there’s little hope of revoking the sh spa closure

unless politicians change the legislation.Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley is

already on the job.“I’m going to meet with our (NDP)

caucus and talk about this,” he said Thurs-day. “(Simpson) did all the right things —-- she went to Health Canada to get approval, and she went through the proper licencing authority right there in Duncan.”

He wonders how VIHA could shut the spa when all available research around the world indicates the sh do not pose a

risk to clients, and are an asset to health care.

“They’re actually helping people,” he said.

“This is the kind of bull-headed bureau-cracy that makes everyone cringe.”

Routley has already chatted with the NDP’s health critic about the issue, and hopes to schedule a meeting with the health minister soon.

“It makes no sense,” he said of the spa’s closure. “It’s just too shy for words.”

‘Cowichan District Hospital: Ex-ceptional Care, Exceptional People.’

Many Cowichanians could vouch for CDH’s new mission statement and en-trance sign logo.

And visitors to Cowichan’s medical headquarters after yesterday’s family day will be greeted with the spank-ing’ new sign slapped on in a special ceremony by CDH site director Peter Fahey.

CDH staff plus friends, family and hospital backers got together yester-day for a small fundraiser drumming

up support for the New Hospital Building Fund as part of the Cow-ichan District Hospital Foundation’s efforts to raise money for a brand new hospital.

“It’s really an event to show that the staff and crew are really excited about raising money for the new hospital,” CDH administrative assistant Tina Lamb said prior to Thursday’s fund-raiser. “It’s really more to get staff out there and to raise awareness for anyone interested in contributing to a new hospital.

“We’re out there and willing to help raise the funds.”

Thursday’s Family Day included a barbecue, raf es, bouncy castle, dunk tank, cakewalk, mini carnival games,

and radio station coverage. All proceeds were funneled to the

hospital fund. “The staff want to get behind this

effort in a special way and show how important a new hospital is for this growing community and is very much needed to safely and effectively provide quality health care for the residents of Cowichan Valley,” CDH foundation’s Amy Trippe Brophy wrote in an email.

A new hospital has been on many Cowichanians’ wishlists for several years.

Thursday’s fundraiser is just the start of a string of community-orient-ed charitable events raising cash for CDH’s new digs.

Man dead in Fuller Lake car crashMan dead in Fuller Lake car crashPeter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial

An elderly man was killed Thursday at around 10 a.m. while entering the lsland Highway at Fuller Lake

Road, police say.The T-bone crash saw the man’s

car hit by a northbound car driven by a middle-age female.

The wreck narrowed the Trans-Canada Highway to one lane in each direction while paramedics and re crews attended the scene, and cops took measurements, explained Cpl. Craig Blanchard of the North Cowichan/Duncan RMP detachment.

Names of the deceased male and the female — who was taken to Cowichan District Hospital with

non-life threatening injuries — have not been released, Blanchard said.

It was also unknown at press time where the two motorists live.

The highway was reopened early Thursday afternoon, Blanchard said.

Roundabout boom sparked by ICBC, safety concernsRoundabout boom sparked by ICBC, safety concerns

A 25-year-old man is facing two charges of mischief after allegedly attempting a break-in at The Red Rooster store in Westholme.

The incident occurred at about 10 a.m. last Tuesday, when the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP received a report someone had tried to break into the Trans-Canada Highway store, and then broke into a vehicle in the parking lot before eeing on foot.

According to police, witnesses at the scene had found the suspect in the back of a red Hyundai he’d broken into, and scared him off.

The man, who has no xed address, ed northbound on the Island Highway.

“Police searched the area and located an individual matching the witnesses’ descrip-tion,” Cpl. Kevin Day said in a media release.

“Through investigation, police were able to determine the male was the one respon-sible for attempting to break into The Red Rooster, and breaking into the vehicle.”

Fatalities at the Drinkwater and Somenos road intersection should end when the risky

site’s new traf c circle opens around Aug. 8, municipal staff said.

Meanwhile, motorists are advised to avoid the rural intersection where con-struction started earlier this month, North Cowichan engineer John MacKay said.

He pegged the project’s cost at about $430,000, with $85,000 of that tab contrib-uted by ICBC.

“They usually contribute in the $100,000 range, depend-ing on the accidents at a site.

“ICBC does a review of accidents at the intersection, then calculates savings in claims they’ll make over

time,” he said.According to MacKay, the

Drinkwater-Somenos corner has been the site of several serious accidents and at least one death.

One of those tragedies sparked installation of a ashing amber light.The new roundabout —

the municipality’s 11th since 2005 — will also control east- and westbound traf c to and from Cowichan Com-mons Mall, plus vehicles visiting the new Somenos Ball Fields, he said.

“Those, and developments in the area, are all contribut-ing to more traf c there, and there’s more development planned for that area.”

ICBC has usually kicked cash into North Cowichan’s traf c circles, he noted.

“The amount varies on the accident history of the intersection.”

Some traf c circles also dot developments such as Trumpeter Point and Kings-view, MacKay added.

Most roundabout work has been done by municipal staff

though Gibbins Road’s circle at the bottom of hospital hill was contracted out, he said.

Trees gracing circle centres will grow to “become a barrier in the middle to slow

folks down,” he said.Future roundabouts

planned include River Road at Chemainus Road, and possibly Lane Road at Drinkwater.

Peter W. RuslandCrews work Thursday on the Somenos/Drinkwater roundabout, due to open in about three weeks.

More than 23 million Canadians carry a mobile phone or wireless device.

And, according to a report crafted by Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association, that number continues to grow, as does the number of smart gadgets such as iPhones and BlackBerries.

That’s why cell phone towers in Cowichan have recently surfaced as a hot-button issue.

“Our customers needs are chang-ing,” Rogers Communication’s Marina Guy said. “People are using more devices such as smart phones, tablets and embedded laptops. These devices use much more data than basic mobile phones.”

Two towers have recently been proposed in the valley.

First, locals heard about Cowichan Valley Regional District concerns sur-rounding a proposed Trans-Canada Highway Telus tower in Cobble Hill. Then north-end residents got riled about a Rogers structure proposed for rural Saltair.

“This tower will enable us to continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers by providing a more reliable mobile service,” Guy said about the Saltair proposal.

“Providing our customer with reli-able service is critical. Fifty-seven per cent of calls to 911 in B.C. are made on mobile phones,” she said.

Rogers remains in talks with the CVRD to nail down a suitable Saltair site.

“That will allow us to provide a reli-able network for our customers and t into the community,” Guy said.

“A great deal of research goes into nding cell sites — terrain, height of

land, proximity to our customers, to name a few.”

The wireless provider initially had its eyes on a site kitty-corner to Jarid’s Corner country home bed-and-breakfast on Bill Hutchinson’s property on Olsen Road.

But many of the rural community’s citizens want nothing of that.

About 280 names ap-peared on a petition opposed to the location at last week’s CVRD board meeting.

A passionate Edna Widen-maier spoke about what she thought was a “randomly selected” location.

She urged the CVRD to write a letter to Rogers as well as create its own policies around cell phone tower placement.

The CVRD has no such policies, meaning its hands are tied with Indus-try Canada regulations.

Area director Mel Dorey attended a community meeting and came away with 14 reasons why the CVRD should urge Rogers to discard the current proposal — “it’s too close to neighbouring houses that are within 400 metres of the site,” and “it’s across the road from a CVRD nature

park (Princess Diana Park),” among them.

Residents suggested Rogers re-examine Peerless Road industrial area as an alternative.

For Rogers, it’s simply a matter of lling “holes” or “dead zones” to satisfy its users.

“As more users access the network and use up the capacity of each existing antenna site, ‘holes’ begin

to appear in the network that become ‘dead zones’ for users,” the Connecting Canadians report explains.

“The only way to overcome this problem is to ll-in these holes with additional antennas. Both additional coverage and capacity are needed to ensure networks are avail-able reliably to all users.”

Across the nation, there are approximately 8,000 wireless antenna sites compared to the United Kingdom’s (an area less than 1/5 of Canada’s coverage), 35,000 sites.

Guy also squashed some citizen’s health concerns about tower radiation rays with data supplied from Vancou-ver Coastal Health’s Chief Medical Health Of cer, Dr. Patricia Daly.

Daly recently performed a study on said alleged risks, summing “radiation from cellular base stations is far too low to cause adverse health effects in the community.”

An update on the Cobble Hill Telus tower proposal was not available before press time.

North Cowichan and Chemainus residents dependent on the mu-nicipality for their potable water supply, appear to be up a creek without a paddle as a result of a

Supreme Court decision going in favour of the Halalt First Nations band.

Excuse the metaphor but it does seem to express the lack of options that saying is supposed to represent.

The net effect of the court judgement is to shut the opera-tion of wells drawing clean water from

the Chemainus aquifer until such time as the

Halalt band is deemed to have been adequately consulted and accommodated.

The wells are shut at this time of year in any event under the terms of a certi cate granted by the government after a a ve-year review con-ducted by the Environmental Assessment Of ce.

The plan, however, was to have the $5.7 million well project kick in again in the fall to ensure the safety of the potable supply for Chemainus.

North Cowichan is the ham in the sandwich here as Supreme Court Justice Madam C.A. Wedge ruled it was the province, through the EAO, that failed to properly consult and accom-modate the concerns of the Halalt.

Only the province can clear this log jam.Come this fall, Chemainus residents will have

to rely on a surface water collection system that has already been subject to frequent boil-water advisories due to water turbidity.

VIHA has been patient but has maintained that if North Cowichan has to stick with the surface water system there will have to be signi cant

investment in treatment — perhaps as much as $12 million.

Mayor Tom Walker acknowledges the municipality faces some urgent short term decisions but is waiting for the legal appeal period to expire in about three weeks.

Until that occurs there is no way of knowing if Justice Wedge’s freezing of the project certi -cate can be set aside during the appeal period. This would at least allow the wells to pump this winter, which is the time of least risk of deplet-ing the aquifer.

Meanwhile, Walker will be on the phone urging the provincial government to move as urgently as possible so North Cowichan has a clear idea of the options they must consider.

Much has been made about this court decision setting important precedent. I agree, but I think the precedent set is different than what the Halalt band has been celebrating.

First and foremost is that this decision sig-nalled the court believes the duty to consult and

accommodate First Nations cannot, and will not, be taken lightly.

Justice Wedge was withering in her criticism of what the EAO had described as “deep consul-tation.” She left little doubt it was anything but, in her view.

On the matter of the judgement nally conferring on First Nations access to control of sub-surface water, I don’t think that is as clear as treaty negotiators would like.

In my view, the judge was simply saying Halalt had a legitimate case to be concerned about well water drawn from under their reserve, just like any private land owner would have; and should have the same opportunity to be consulted and accommodated.Patrick Hrushowy writes every Friday in the News Leader Picto-rial.

ECO Depot ECO Depot should be sent should be sent to referendumto referendumVote on it:Vote on it: It’s the only way to gauge support It’s the only way to gauge support

During the year-long saga of the South Cowichan ECO Depot, the Cowichan Valley Regional District has frequently been accused of being a closed, top-down organization that has no interest in what the public has to say on the issue.

A better description might be that it has been a top-down organiza-tion that has decided ECO Depot opponents do not speak for the majority of voters and has become more and more guarded in the

face of increasingly vehement objections.You can’t blame ECO Depot oppo-

nents for being frustrated. They have stated as clearly as possible they do not want this facility at this site. They have pointed out a litany of aws in the loca-tion, the zoning and the competition with nearby private business. And they have demonstrated a broad range of support for their position through petitions, let-ters and protests.

You can’t blame the CVRD for not completely rejecting the project out of hand. Even opponents acknowledge there is widespread support for a facility of this nature. CVRD staff put a lot of work into nding an available site that meets the proper criteria and are convinced this is the one. And directors will tell you they hear a lot of community support for the proposal privately, from people who are scared that speaking pub-licly will make them targets for the wrath of those who disagree.

Unfortunately, the board has lacked (depending on your view on this issue) the courage to take a principled stand on the depot, or any real respect for opposition concerns.

And the situation drags on, resulting in scenes such as the embarrass-ing Balu Tatachari sideshow at last week’s CVRD board meeting.

With courage and/or respect lacking, the time is overripe to give common sense a chance. Why not ask the public what it wants?

There is an election in four months. Put the question of the ECO Depot on the ballot. Let the public decide.

The case forThe case forFew 80-year-olds are as good on the

basketball court as they were in their twenties. Most, in fact, would be leery about stepping on the court.

Driving a car may not be a direct comparison, but the analogy holds — the very old and very young aren’t as physically and mentally sharp as those in between. They need to be tested to ensure their own safety and the safety of those around them.

Poor Waf e’s demise a sad Poor Waf e’s demise a sad commentary on our societycommentary on our societyDear editor

Reading about this poor dog Waf e made me once again think about Gandhi’s quote: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

Seems like we still have a long way to go.Jamie FrancisCrofton

Community should be helping us Community should be helping us maintain our independencemaintain our independenceDear editor

I am concerned about what will happen to me when I turn 80 this year. It is very tough to face the limited time left for us in this wonderful world when we turn 80, and we have the added burden of the stress caused when we Oldies must take a new drivers’ test. I am sure I am speaking for 90 per cent of us when I say that in the next 10 years we may have left to live, we will decide honestly ourselves, with consultation with our doctors, when we have to give up driving. This is how it has been in the past. If this needs to be changed, I have a much more civilized and kind approach to suggest.

What about using the empty parking lots of schools, playgrounds, businesses, etc., in the evening or on weekends, to let seniors, or other drivers, practise their skills under the supervision of retired driving school teachers? That would be fun and people could refresh their driving skills in a relaxed atmosphere. This would be for free in the interest of community service and safety.

I have been a widow for 15 years and with great effort have worked on being independent. I live where a car is necessary. I hope I can keep everything like it is right now.Doris EhrenbergCowichan Bay

Re: July 15 letter, “Heart of the E&N Rail Funding is Black as Coal.”

The Vancouver Transit union argued against automated light rapid transit even after former Premier Bill Vander Zalm ordered it through and was installed; where would they be today, without it? The economy today is still precari-ous and Southern Vancouver Island does not require such extravagance, but it does require

relief from traf c gridlock and clearance for possible evacuation. The E&N rail line and Dayliner train, while needing repairs, are pre-requisites already in place.Clifford David PhillipsDuncan

In any rational system, our In any rational system, our educators are underpaideducators are underpaidDear editor

I admit to being biased because I am married to a teacher, but I must respond to the letter in the July 15 News Leader Pictorial.

On the 188 days my wife works, she stays late every day to clean the classroom and ready it for the next day. Then she brings marking or prep work home every night and works on it after dinner. When report cards are due, my family can forget about spending time with her. Then there are parent-teacher conferences and staff meetings after hours. Many teachers participate in extra-curricular activities such as coaching sports teams. None of this is paid overtime, which many of us with “regular” jobs would expect.

School District 79 administrators work only 200 days a year for their six- gure paycheques, which also come out of our taxes. We pay Christy Clark’s salary; how many days a year does she show up for work? Just for fun, gure out how many days per year Roberto Luongo puts in. None of these people are responsible for two dozen young lives every working day.

The hours and days of work are not the issue. Teachers don’t work with a wrench or a hammer. They don’t bend metal or join wood. They hold the future in their hands, and they shape the minds of our children. For that vital service I believe they are seriously underpaid. Any rational society

should place far more value on teachers than on lawyers, bureaucrats, politicians or athletes.Steve LewisCrofton

Bless justice walkers and their Bless justice walkers and their blisters with more coverageblisters with more coverageDear editor

I am deeply concerned about the lack of media attention given the local connection to the Walk4Justice.

Very recently, I was performing a new song I wrote about murdered girls and women in this geographical area, the Lower Mainland and in Canada in general. I watched tears begin to ow in the crowd and especially from a soft-spoken woman who approached me at the stage. She informed me Tyeshia Jones was her niece. It was heart-wrenching to witness and share her anguish, but also the reason I wrote the song in the rst place. As a mother to my own precious daughter, how could I not be affected by these tragedies?

I will never forget the names of those lost souls, burned into my memory, from the rst reporting of their having gone missing.

Clausen, Seto, Coleman, Hull, Stone and Jones are just a few names that we ought not ever forget. These are the girls and women who are in mind as locals Howard Jim and his mom, Arlene, walk to Ottawa. Let’s give them the support and recognition they need and deserve. Underreporting of this important event of our times does nothing to create more awareness or end the violence perpetrated against females. Bless them and their blisters.Beverley McKeenNorth Cowichan

On the contrary, On the contrary, volleyball a perfect volleyball a perfect t for Canada Day t for Canada Day

In my opinion:In my opinion: Event well in bounds Event well in bounds

I nd it amazing Duncan summer festival organizers can hold an amazing volley-ball tournament downtown and still be criticized.

The day went off without a hitch, beginning with volunteer organizers arriving the day before to spread out donated sand dumped in a parking lot by truck drivers who donated their time.

The following day, volunteers again showed up at 7 a.m. to help shovel, rake, and sweep the donated sand back into the trucks that were being driven by people donating their time to make this event a success.

The critic (July 15, Your turn) suggested soccer, softball, or lacrosse should have been chosen to highlight the kick-off to Duncan’s summer festival, because they are “true Canadian sports” and the facilities are in place. I beg to differ.

Not one of these sports could have taken place in downtown Duncan without a major disruption of traf c, possible property damage, and loss of busi-ness to local merchants.

A tournament at one of these other venues would be outside the rest of the summer festival and that would defeat the purpose wouldn’t it?

Canada has two teams in the top-50 world rank-ings for both men’s and women’s beach volleyball. The U.S. (with 10 times the population) has ve. China (with its population of 1.2 billion plus) has three teams in the women’s and two in the men’s.

B.C. is only second to Ontario in numbers of na-tional level beach players, and the majority of B.C. players are from Vancouver Island.

Volleyball is a global sport, mostly due to the lack of money needed to play and the wide range of countries able to eld competitive teams.

This makes it a perfect t for the “broad diversity of ethnic cultures in our valley” the critic mentioned. The tournament on Canada Day had participants younger than 18 and older than 50, shorter than ve feet and taller than 6’ 4”.

The only reason the other writer may have thought Duncan was “appeas[ing] a small number of partici-pants” was due to size constraints.

It is only fair to mention that in the past ve years, Cowichan has developed a staggering amount of volleyball talent. Frances Kelsey was ranked second in B.C. and Brentwood has been ranked rst in its respective divisions.

A number of local players have been invited to provincial and national training camps and have received scholarships to Canadian universities and colleges.

Cowichan has even produced a national beach volleyball high school championship and a player who competed at the World Under 19 Beach Vol-leyball Championships in Poland.

It is time to stop thinking there is only a select number of sports that should be promoted in the Cowichan Valley and ignore the rest.

The purpose of sport is to promote healthy living and bring people together through activity, some-thing the valley desperately needs.

As long as people are playing together and enjoy-ing themselves, who are we to say what sport they should or should not be playing?Cowichan Bay resident Darian Achurch is an avid local volleyball player and coach.

Walkers 4 Knockers:Walkers 4 Knockers: Cow- Cow-ichan team fundraising for ichan team fundraising for Weekend to End Women’s Weekend to End Women’s CancersCancersAshley DegraafNews Leader Pictorial

Walkers 4 Knockers. If that hasn’t

already gotten your attention, hopefully knowing this group

needs to raise $6,000 in about three weeks for women’s cancers, does.

Walkers 4 Knockers’ Michelle Lariviere, Lila Baban, Lexi Baker and Ryan King have to raise the dough before they can participate in the Aug. 13 and 14 Weekend to End Women’s Cancers in Vancouver.

The Cowichan Valley chums are participating in the popular 60-ki-lometre, two-day trek event for the B.C. Cancer Foundation, for the rst time together as a team.

Team leader Lariviere, however, made her Weekend to Walk debut last year as a solo participant.

She’s also the creator behind the group’s comical, yet catchy name.

“After watching and helping Mi-chelle last year, we were all inspired by her dedication and the workload she put in to join and help this amazing cause,” said group member King.

“It’s very rare to nd someone in this world who has not been affected by women’s cancers in some form.

For some of us, it’s very direct and others, less so.

“Walking 60K, knowing our fund-raising and work can directly help nd cures and save lives seems quite

simply like the right thing to do. “We are so grateful to be healthy

and have a loving community around us so why shouldn’t we do something to contribute.”

Lariviere’s mom and grandma both have had bouts with breast and ovar-ian cancer.

“In my case, my great grandma and grandma both had breast cancer, and they both survived and I’m truly

thankful for that,” team member Baker said.

Each member is required to raise $2,000 to walk the walk. So far, the group’s raised only about $2,000 in total — but they’re not fretting.

They’ve got tons of fundraisers on the go and have also created a Facebook page to keep people in the loop on where they’re at.

The Cowichan Bottle Depot’s also accepting donations on their behalf.

And to donate to the group online, go to: http://va11.endcancer.ca/.

Just click the green ‘Donate’ button and search ‘Walkers 4 Knockers.’

Ashley DegraafWalkers for Knockers teammates Ryan King, Michelle Lariviere and Lila Baban (missing mem-ber Lexi Baker) have to raise $8,000 before the Aug. 13-14 Weekend to End Women’s Cancers two-day 60K walk.

Chemainus portion of Trans-Canada Trail ready for your feetChemainus portion of Trans-Canada Trail ready for your feet

Local political gures, staff

and guests met at the Che-mainus Train

Station to of cially open the Chemainus section of the Cowichan Valley Trail on July 14.

The section marks the completion of trails from Duncan to the Town of Ladysmith and is another step to nalization of the 120-kilometre local stretch of the Trans-Cana-da Trail system.

Gerry Giles, CVRD chairwoman began the festivities thanking every-one involved on the proj-ect including all levels of government from local to national, local community groups including Rotary,

corporate assistance in-cluding Mount Brenton Golf Course and Catalyst Paper, and other funders such as Island Corridor Foundation and the Island Coastal Economic Trust.

According to a CVRD

press release, recent up-dates to this regional trail include a section of “rail with trail” as part of the E&N Railway corridor, and corporate support from Catalyst Paper to allow a portion of the trail

to be located within its waterline corridor.

“It’s all about partner-ships,” noted North Cowichan Mayor Tom Walker.

Speakers also talked about the trail not only linking communities, but providing a place for people to enjoy the out-doors and get active.

The trail will also serve as a great tourist draw, noted Phil Kent, represent-ing the City of Duncan and the economic trust.

“They will come to walk these trails ... to see these communities,” said Kent.

For more on the trail, visit the CVRD’s website, cvrd.bc.ca

Vendors try to revive Sunday marketVendors try to revive Sunday marketAshley Degraaf News Leader Pictorial

The Cobble Hill Sunday Market is making a comeback.

A few weeks after an-nouncing it was folding

its tables into permanent storage, the popular south-end social staple will be back in action this Sunday.

Market devotee Heather Dick-enson has agreed to oversee the revival on a temporary basis until a permanent replacement manager takes over.

“I was one of the vendors and I just didn’t want to lose it and I didn’t want to see it go down,” Dickenson said Wednesday. “I am taking over temporarily.”

Back in June, the News Leader

Pictorial reported the Cobble Hill Sunday Market was swinging its doors shut and south-end residents were being offered the chance to warm up to a Thursday evening replacement.

But for many, the food-oriented Thursday market wasn’t going to replace Sunday’s community-gath-ering feel.

Dickenson said most long-time Sunday vendors, plus some new merchants, have already signed up for this weekend’s comeback.

Stations will sprout in the Cobble Hill Youth Hall as well as the eld and can be accessed from Watson and Fisher roads from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Dickenson’s been a Sunday vendor for about a year, selling mostly plants and owers but has been

shopping stalls for many years. “I used to go and shop at the mar-

ket and then I decided ‘Well maybe I’d like to be a vendor.’ There’s a closeness of the people and they’re very loyal and stick together.

“When the market went down, I had talked to a number of the people and they all said, ‘Somebody’s got to do this. We can’t just leave this market.’”

The market’s closure was mostly the result of the resignation of long-time manager Sheila Haughain and the inability to nd a successor.

For more information, contact Dickenson at 250-743-7018.

The new Thursday market will also continue at the same location between 2 to 7 p.m.

For information on that operation, call 250-510-8343.

Cowichan dominates Cowichan dominates logger sports worldlogger sports worldDateline 1937Dateline 1937: Glenora man top sawyer : Glenora man top sawyer Ann AndersenNews Leader Pictorial

We don’t see much logging sports around here any more — perhaps a bit of bucking at the Cowichan Exhibition.

But back in the rst half of the 20th century, the sport was alive and well; and Canada’s perennial

timber champ lived right here in the Cowichan Valley. In July 1937, Glenora’s Allan N. Heyd, caterpillar “jockey” at

William Grumbach’s logging operations at Hillbank retained his Canadian still sawing championship.

This title is claimed to be equivalent to the British Empire cham-pionship, crowed the Leader.

Heyd retained the title at the annual logging sports at Vancouver’s Hastings Park.

Heyd cut through the 30-inch log in 2.52 minutes, six seconds ahead of Chris Bergdahl who actually made his living as a bucker.

Heyd clinched the victory by using shorter, quicker strokes than his opponent. Two other Cowichan men Henry Robinson and Mervin Wren sawed in the eliminations with Robinson placing fth.

Two more titles came to Cowichan later that month when Heyd repeated his Vancouver victory to carry off the Washing-ton state crown and Henry Robinson won the northwest chop-ping championship.

Kids music pioneer kicks off month Kids music pioneer kicks off month of music amongst forestry pioneersof music amongst forestry pioneersPeter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial

Global kids performer Rick Scott kicks off the forest museum’s month-long Chil-dren’s Performance Series starting

Sunday.“Consider me the pioneer of

it (series) or the tunnel canary,” Scott joked from home on Protec-tion Island. “I’m really looking forward to it. I’m a bit of history nut myself.”

Scott — one third of Canada’s famed Pied Pumkin trio — re-cently played at Port Alberni’s McLean’s Sawmill demo of bygone log-ging operations similar to artifacts at North Cowichan’s B.C. Forest Discovery Centre.

His repertoire is a grab bag of 200-odd tunes penned during the past 40 years of solo shows, dates with Pumkin, and with Pied Pear with singer Joe Mock.

“What would you like to hear?” dulcimer doyen Scott mused. “I’ve got enough of a repertoire I can jiggle things around.

“It’s more fun for me and the audience with a relevant feeling rather than some-thing that just lands in their lap.”

He may be coaxed to play songs from his new musical novel for kids called The Great Gazzoon. It’s based on Scott’s adventures as a circus tightrope walker and

minstrel theatre actor in the ‘80s.Scott likened and tightrope work as “a

metaphor of what’s happening in the world today.” But he shuns politics, preferring to entertain fans of all ages, especially kids.

“I’m getting second and third generations now — that’s my Grammy and my Juno award.

“Kids are so smart and know right from wrong.”

That’s what forest museum manager Vicki Holman also hopes hits home with children and families during the series budgeted at some $20,000.

“Next year we’d like to expand the series to include a symphony,” she said of the se-

ries market tester for more outdoor theatre.Other Children’s Series shows include

B.C. Day Is For Kids Aug. 1, Michael Manchek Illusionist Aug. 14, and The Story of Esther Aug. 28.

Entrance for the events is included in the regular admission.

Childhood meningitis can be a very dangerous, potentially fatal infection of the membranes covering the brain and spine. It can be caused by a virus but the more severe form is caused by bacteria. Symptoms to watch for are confusion, leg pain, rash, neck pain or stiffness and photophobia (extreme sensitivity to light). There is an effective vaccine available that protects against 80% of the disease strains.

Saskatchewan joined many other provinces in Canada to ban the sale of tobacco products in pharmacies. B.C. and Manitoba are the only two provinces that still allow the sale of these products in pharmacies.

It was back in 1939 that the drug warfarin was fi rst isolated and used as a “blood thinner” to prevent blood clots in many medical conditions like atrial fi brillation. It is still commonly used

today and has saved many lives over the years.

Perhaps hundreds of thousands of doctor visits are made each year to have earwax removed. This can be done at home by simply using an eye dropper to instil vegetable or mineral oil into the ear, then using an rubber bulb syringe and some warm water to syringe the wax out. This process can be repeated every few days. Never use cotton-tipped applicators in your ear.

Whether it be a question on earwax or how a certain drug works, you will always receive the right information from our pharmacists.

Cowichan comes Alive Inside for freeCowichan comes Alive Inside for freePeter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial

Hope during bad times is Saturday’s Christian-rock gift called Alive Inside.

Spokesman Brandon Wall, of the hosting Friday’s Cry band, was stoked about support from giving families during last year’s by-donation event — generosity that’s being repeated this weekend.

“Alive Inside’s about being able to lift people’s spirits — people face enough hard things in life.”

That focus packed the Cowichan River Bible Camp site — holding about 2,000 fans — last year, so Wall advises reserving your free ticket online in advance.

“Some will also be available at the gate,” he said, tuning for Alive Inside’s four headliners plus singer-songwriters.

Main acts include Friday’s Cry, Bondless, Grammy-nominated Leeland, and New Zealand rockers Rapture Ruckus who are now work-ing in Nashville.

“We just love hosting an event

through the Oasis Church of Dun-can,” Wall said.

“This started as a one-time thing but the response was overwhelming.”

Other attractions include a kids car-nival, and other amusements such as a mechanical bull. And it’s all gratis.

“Last year was our rst year going free, and the support was great so we’ve taken the pressure off ticket

sales.”

Eaglesmith’s gritty, comic country tunes pushing the Limits in SaltairEaglesmith’s gritty, comic country tunes pushing the Limits in SaltairPeter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial

Alt-country headquarters open at Saltair City Limits during Saturday’s visit by Fred Eaglesmith and company.

Fredheads have come to expect vocals by The Fabulous Ginn Sisters backing Eaglesmith’s band, and SCL will be no exception.

Songwriters Jenny Allen and Leslie Alexander will warm the stage with their insightful brand of countri ed folk-rock featuring hurtin’, yearnin’ songs heavy

with life’s little ironies.Both singers have a raft of CDs under

their own names.The twosome is performing under its

Dirty Laundry dual CD Release Tour 2011.

Meanwhile, painful stains of lipstick, lies and gasoline are the stuff Eaglesmith’s addictive songs. Ask any Fredhead who follows his stage exploits — often laced with comical asides — across Canada and the states, and over to Europe.

He’s likely to play cuts from his latest disc 6 Volts in Saltair, plus numbers from his various recordings made during the past 30-odd years.

His lyrics do the talking about the spills and thrills of fast cars, faster women, dead pals, loaded guns, trains, bad whiskey, dirty crimes — and standing up for the little guy.

Folks are still talking about Juno-winning Eaglesmith’s cameo on The Letterman Show. They’re also proud his chestnut tune, Freight Train, was picked up by country superstar Alan Jackson.

Ultimately, it’s all about what Eaglesmith calls “the weirdest little career that works so well.”

“No matter where I go in the world, there’s always 100 or 200 people willing to shell out 20 bucks to see me,” said Eagle-smith. “I can drive down some little sheep

road in Scotland or Australia for eight hours, and there’s people who’ll gather up in some shack or some barn, or some hall, to see my show.

“It’s the best feeling in the world.”

So you want to be in show biz.

Think again, or get inspi-ration from Wednesday’s Cowichan Theatre version

of A Chorus Line.But director and valley tenor Ashley

Daniel Foot explained his show’s local one-night-stand is no song-and-dance romance created in just 11 days in Courtenay by his Comox Valley Youth Music Centre.

“The moral,” he told the News Leader Pictorial, “is that so many young people have dreams to perform and this explores the cold, hard reali-ties of what it means to be a success — and will you settle for second best or keep pushing?”

His crew of global students and pros is pushing its limits to stage a show that could be another hit if CYMC’s recent versions of Rent (2009) and Sweeny Todd (2010) are any indica-tion.

“Chorus Line explores the life of a dancer and what it means to be a professional,” Foot said of his

35–member cast boasting 19 leads, including several Cowichanians.

“Chorus Line has never been done before on the island and we wanted lots of role choices for students to perform.”

They’re using Kristopher Epps’ 13-piece stage band, Lindsay Sterk’s choreography and improv coach Lori Mazey’s advice.

“It’s wall-to-wall dance for two hours,” promised Foot.

The plot pivots on choreographer Zak (Cowichan’s Jordan Heath, 19) auditioning eight dancers for a show we never see.

Instead, “they discover things about themselves through working with Zak, who wants to get to know them,” Foot said.

“Each actor reveals things from their past and each has his or her mo-ment on stage.”

One moment sees Judy Turner (Cobble Hill’s Talietha Sangha, 17) auditioned by workaholic Zak.

“Mazey’s taught me less is more, and now I’ve got a grasp on comical timing, and how to dance,” said the Frances Kelsey secondary student.

Despite Chorus Line’s lessons,

Sangha wants a career in acting.“Chorus Line shows it’s an

extremely dif cult business to get into, but I really can’t see myself doing anything else — either can my character.

“You have to do it because you love it and everything will fall into place.”

That notion’s recognized by Cow-ichan crooner Josiah George as Rick, and Heath’s Zak.

Heath said his role is pure acting.“This show’s about stripping myself

of theaterisms,” the UBC physics student said.

“You don’t get this kind of theatre immersion; it’s three weeks of hard-core, 10 hours day — then you put on a high-level show.

“The moral’s summed up in the nal song What I Did For Love.“Even though the lives of danc-

ers and performers are insecure and unstable, no one would change it because they love it.”

FUNERAL HOMESFUNERAL HOMES

SAGE, GerryGerry was born in the small town of Lacombe, Alberta on November 4th, 1936. At a young age, he and his family moved to the big city of Calgary. Even at an early age he had the true spirit of an adventurer. After completing High school, he was not content to stay put, so he boarded a freighter bound for the South Pacifi c and Australia. Upon returning to Canada, he met his true love

Ola. The two soul mates were married in 1961, packed up their belongings, and headed for Santa Barbara, California. He enrolled in the Brooks Institute, and graduated with a degree in photography and fi lm. He moved back to Calgary with Ola to start a family and a career. He made documentaries in the Soviet Union at the height of the cold war and above the Arctic Circle at a time when few even contemplated the journey. As busy as he was at the time, he always remained a dedicated husband and father. Gerry shared a love of the coast with Ola and shortly after retirement, they relocated to the community of Chemainus on Vancouver Island. This coastal lifestyle led to many fond memories of boating excursions, beach walks, fi shing trips and drives through the Cowichan Valley. Living on the coast also enabled Gerry to spend time sharing some of these experiences with his beloved granddaughters, Sophie, Claire and Mia. Gerry had a larger than life personality, but he had an amazing ability to put others at ease. His family and friends loved him dearly, and everyone felt comfortable in his presence.After a courageous battle with cancer, Gerry passed away peacefully in Victoria on July 15th, 2011. He is survived by his wife Ola; children Natalie (Mike), Chris (Chieh), his granddaughters, Sophie, Claire and Mia, and brother Bob (Helen). Heartfelt thanks are extended to the staff at the Royal Jubilee hospital for the compassionate care provided to Gerry during his illness. A mass will be held in Chemainus at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church (9727 Elm Street) on WEDNESDAY, JULY 27th at 1:00 p.m. with a reception to follow at the Chemainus Seniors Centre (9824 Willow Street). In lieu of fl owers, donations to World Vision Canada (http://www.worldvision.ca/Pages/welcome.aspx) would be appreciated.

It is with the utmost gratitude we offer sincere thanks for the

outstanding expressions for sympathy and support. The

particular support from NanaimoCommunity Hospice Society wasvery moving. Thank you to our

many friends.

Dodgers make a move when the weather improvesDodgers make a move when the weather improvesDon BodgerNews Leader Pictorial

Tadpoles usually survive quite well in the wet weather.

But these tadpoles needed some drier condi-

tions.The tadpole regional baseball

tournament for seven- and eight-year-olds was met with some rather inclement weather, to say the least, at the new Somenos ball eld com-plex. Action started Friday and ran through Sunday, but it was Saturday that caused organizers concern when two downpours drenched the elds.

“Mother Nature did not want to cooperate with us at all,’’ said tour-nament director Amber Paddle.

A late-morning downpour left organizers no choice but to cancel the opening ceremonies at noon Saturday to keep the game schedule running on time. The two-hour delay worked out and, after conditions improved for a while to get some games in, another heavy rainfall around 5 p.m. closed the elds for the day.

“It was incredible. You couldn’t even see on the eld,’’ said Paddle.

The test after that was to revamp the schedule to nish on time Sun-day. Fortunately, no more cancella-tions were required as the weather improved enough to get through the

nal day.“We had to do some creative eld

maintenance,’’ said Paddle.The ef cient volunteer grounds

crew put the nishing touches on the eld for a heavier schedule Sunday.“Actually, there was some blue

sky and sunshine on Sunday,’’ said Paddle.

Amid the rainfalls, some great baseball was displayed by the young players in the tournament on teams from Duncan, Campbell River, Nanaimo, Gordon Head, Triangle, Lake Cowichan, Chemainus, Ocean-side and Carnarvon.

“Everybody played really well,’’ said Paddle. “It was fantastic. It was so neat to see. They play some amazing ball at that age.’’

The host association was thrilled to have two teams in the semi nals.

Before that, the Duncan White Sox and Red Devils met in the nal round robin game to see who would advance.

“It was a win-win, but it was a lose-lose because one Duncan team was going to be knocked out,’’ said Paddle.

The Duncan Dodgers and the Carnarvon Cannons wound up play-ing for the gold medal and it went to extra innings. The Dodgers, coached by Tony Webb and Doug Cornett, were the winners.

Greyson Godin was the MVP of the nals. He pitched a gem and

made some great defensive plays from the out eld.

All the Dodgers had key hits and made plays at the right time. The coaches were extremely proud how much the players improved in the three weeks of practice leading up to the tournament.

The Duncan Red Devils trailed the Pirates by a large margin, but came back to win the bronze medal.

The Red Devils were coached to their third-place nish by Dean Keck and Randy Branting.

The second-year players really picked it up for the Red Devils, starting with Nicholas Keck laying down a perfect bunt in the third inning. Coehn Keck moved him to third with a single and Daniel Larson followed with a double to score the twins.

In the last inning, the younger players led things off and loaded the bases. Nicholas Keck then teed off on the rst pitch for a grand slam home run that brought the Red Devils within two.

Coehn Keck singled and stole sec-ond and Larson did the same. With two out, it came down to Colton Gareau, who smashed a line drive that allowed Larson to score.

Each game was four innings. Play-ers pitch for one inning and the rest was done with a pitching machine.

“It really speeds the game up,’’ said Paddle.

Just because you beat the best, it doesn’t guarantee a victory over the third-place team.

Cowichan’s cricket team found that out the hard way Sunday at Shawnigan Lake.

After handing United Victoria its rst defeat of the season in the Victoria and District Cricket Association, Cowichan took on third-place Carico and suffered a loss but not without a mammoth ght.In one of the most exciting cricket matches

you’ll ever see, the teams combined for 535 runs — an impressive gure in a 90-over game at any level. The run total was the highest of any game

in 2011.Cowichan won the toss but made the decision to

take the eld rst.Carico set a blistering pace with 272 for seven

after its 45 over innings.Cowichan’s superb bowler Brent Johns found

it dif cult to keep his line near enough to the stumps. Nagy Thomas nished with the best statistics of three wickets for 47 runs but suffered the same fate as the others and couldn’t get on top of the Carico batting.

Cowichan knew it was a huge task to try and overcome the Carico total.

Adam Benning opened the innings but lost three partners within the rst 14 overs with the score at three for 70.

When joined by captain Clayton Bodkyn, however, they went on the attack and found the boundary with ease.

Benning notched no less than 15 fours en route to a century and Bodkyn nished with 83 that included four sixes — two that were hit deep into an adjacent wooded property. The balls weren’t retrieved.

Benning departed with Cowichan at 170 and the challenge continued when Johns came to the

wicket and the total moved to 230 for four.Amazingly, a victory came into sight with 43

runs needed and six wickets in hand.But the unpredictable game of cricket played a

cruel trick.First, Bodkyn was bowled and the wheels fell

off.The next four batsmen were under pressure to

score quickly. Johns had some success, taking his tally to 40 not out.

With one over to go, 11 runs were needed and he was at the wrong end not facing the bowler. A mix-up to nd an extra run left Stuart Munger stranded and he was run out.

Cowichan ended all out for 263, just nine short.Next up for Cowichan is another game at

Shawnigan Lake Aug. 7 against Oak Bay.

Crystal Poland isn’t being swayed by her surroundings to become a Boston Bruins’ fan.

Despite spending the last two seasons playing eld hockey

at Northeastern University in the heart of Boston, Poland couldn’t bring herself to cheer against the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup nal.

“God, no,’’ she said. “I’m from the island. You’ve got to love the Canucks. My dad’s a Bruins’ fan, though. We were bickering back and forth.’’

Poland’s many new friends on the Northeastern eld hockey team and from elsewhere in the region know her allegianc-es only go so far.

Poland went to see a Boston Red Sox Major League baseball game during her freshman year and took some heat from the fans.

“I wore my Canucks’ T-shirt,’’ she said. “Everyone was yelling at me. It was fun.’’

Bostonians would be wise to cut Poland some slack. After all, the valley product is ripping up the scoring records at North-eastern and putting her heart and soul into making the team a contender each season.

In 2009, Poland started all 18 games and was named the Colonial Athletic Associa-tion’s rookie of the year. Obviously, she also made the CAA all-rookie team and was named to the all-CAA rst all-star team.

Poland led the team in goals, points, shots, shots on goal and game-winning goals and tied for the lead in assists.

In 2010, Poland was named to the CAA all-tournament team and scored a bunch of goals again, including four and two assists in one week.

“It was awesome to play really competi-tively,’’ she said. “All of a sudden all these awards keep showing up. I was thinking, ‘what’s going on, we don’t have this in Canada.’’’

Poland is poised to have another banner season after spending time in the valley during the summer to assist young players with their skills.

“It’s actually own by,’’ said Poland of her two seasons at Northeastern. “I can’t believe I’m halfway done my NCAA career.’’

Poland never felt intimidated when she rst made the move to Northeastern.“I think I was just really excited that

everything was new — new team, new friends, new coaches, new city, new every-thing.’’

Poland took a year off after graduating from high school and she feels it was a good move.

“It helped me to actually decide what I really wanted instead of making a rush decision in a month,’’ she said.

“I hadn’t even thought about college or university in the States till about Grade 12. I don’t like making rush decisions.’’

During her year off school, Poland was carded by the national team, lived and

worked in Vancouver and did lots of train-ing.

“It just kind of opened my eyes to how hard you train during practice and to get that tness level up,’’ she said.

Zowie Tucker, now the head coach of Holy Cross, steered Poland in Northeast-ern’s direction at the time.

Coach Cheryl Murtagh had seen Poland play at regional competition and wanted her to attend Northeastern the previous season. But Poland decided to wait it out, and then visited Northeastern and James Madison before being swayed toward the former by Pam Aldridge of Richmond.

“She took me shopping,’’ joked Poland. “That was one of the deciding factors, not just shopping but being out there in the city.’’

Northeastern is a co-op school and, after two years of courses, Poland hopes to do co-op for six months next spring.

In the meantime, Poland will continue to play hard for Northeastern to become a better team. The motivation to perform well is always there.

“There’s a lot of people competing for spots,’’ Poland said. “Your spot is never secure. It teaches you to keep pushing even more. Obviously, there’s pressure to win. But there’s pressure to play well and keep your spot.’’

Going into her third year, Poland knows it’s going to be tough to beat what she’s done. “Whatever happens, happens. I don’t ever try to worry about what recognition you get. I just like playing.’’

The Cowichan Valley Mustangs won two games against the worst team in the B.C. Minor Bantam AAA Baseball League and gave the frontrunners a run for their money in weekend action.

The Mustangs swept Kamloops 11-1 and 15-7 Saturday and played the Vancouver Mounties tough Sunday in a

tight 4-1 loss.Zach Diewert went the distance

pitching in the fi rst game against Kam-loops. “We played some good sound defense in that game,’’ said manager Dean Eaton.

Max Winter started in the second game, with relief help from Jared

Champoux. Zach Komst, pictured, led the offense with a home run.

Robert Busch pitched well against Vancouver before being relieved by Adam Sakuma. Diewert homered for the Mustangs’ lone run.

Shawn Arabsky and T.J. Mah played great in the middle infi eld.

Canadian women’s amateur title will be decided FridayCanadian women’s amateur title will be decided FridayDon BodgerNews Leader Pictorial

The Royale Cup Canadian Women’s Amateur Golf Championship will be decided Friday

afternoon at Duncan Meadows Golf Course.

Several players put them-selves into contention after the cut was made Wednesday to the low 70 plus ties.

Vivian Tsui of Markham, Ont. was the rst round leader with a 71. She was the only player to break par on the rst day at one-under.

Island favourite Christina Proteau of Port Alberni was just two shots back after the rst round with a 73, but ballooned

to an 83 on the second day to fall back from the leaders.

It was expected to be a ght to the nish with so many great young players in the eld.

The tournament not only features top Canadians, but golfers from all over the United States, and even from Australia, Mexico and Argentina.

The valley was represented by Karen Kloske of Lake Cowichan, Darleen Michell of Ladysmith and Cobble Hill’s Janet Ruest. All three missed the cut.

Conditions were windy on the rst day and golfers had to contend with a light drizzle at times Wednesday.

Players have been enjoying the hospitality provided by hosts Ming and Grace Hui.

Zurrer re ects on the World CupZurrer re ects on the World CupDon BodgerNews Leader Pictorial

Valley soccer star Emily Zurrer and her Canadian teammates certainly weren’t alone in the heartbreak they

felt during the World Cup women’s tournament in Germany.

The Canadians were crushed, to say the least, after bowing out of the tournament with three straight losses. But host Germany quickly followed suit with a quarter nal loss to Japan and the United States perhaps had the hardest pill to swallow after losing the championship match Sunday on penalty kicks.

The only team that obviously came out of it 100 per cent satis ed were the champion Japanese, the rst Asian country to win the title.

It’s all part of the changing land-scape in women’s soccer that made this the most exciting tournament ever. The gap between the so-called top and lower-ranked teams narrowed considerably.

“The tournament was good for women’s soccer in general,’’ said Zurrer, who’s now back at home in the valley enjoying a break from the game for a while. “The games were all really exciting.’’

The Canadians went into the tournament playing superb soccer, but couldn’t keep it going and lost 2-1 to Germany, 4-0 to France and 1-0 to

Nigeria.“I just hope people realize one

tournament doesn’t de ne us,’’ said Zurrer.

“It was a good experience, even though we didn’t do as well as we would have liked.’’

The Canadian team was well prepared but things just didn’t come together during the tournament.

“I’ve overcome some hard times in my career,’’ said Zurrer. “I’d de -nitely have to say this is the hardest.’’

Zurrer said the team felt it could build on the good things that hap-pened against Germany in the opener.

“Against France, it was almost like everything that could have gone wrong went wrong,’’ she said.

“They showed up that day and we didn’t. To be an athlete you have to deal with those successes and losses and failures. I honestly think we’ll be better because of this.’’

There has been much nger-point-ing by the media and soccer of cials about what happened, but Zurrer and her teammates are standing

behind each other and coach Carolina Morace.

“You can always say ‘what if?’ said Zurrer. “There’s so many factors go into a performance. I think we grew enormously as a team. I don’t think we’re going to have to revamp our whole program or anything like that.

“We win as a team, we lose as a team. We’re sticking together through this and I de nitely don’t think the coach is the one to blame.’’

The structure of Canadian soccer can always be better, with more money and a domestic league for development seen as key factors.

“European team do put a lot more money, focus and effort into their youth programs,’’ said Zurrer. “That’s something we’re lacking a little bit.’’

Zurrer is currently enjoying a break before training begins again in September in Vancouver. Olympic qualifying takes place next January for one of two spots from the region in the 2012 Olympics at London, England.

In the meantime, a fundraiser for breast cancer involving Zurrer and the Canadian team is coming to a close this week. Players’ sports bras are be-ing auctioned off for the cause.

All the sports bras are unique. “We put our own little air on them,’’ said Zurrer.

Zurrer’s mom Lesley has had breast cancer so she was happy to take part.

“It’s dear to my heart, for sure,’’ she said.

Don BodgerWorld Cup soccer jersey is displayed by Emily Zurrer. She’s currently enjoying a break from soccer. “I want to take advantage of this time to see people I haven’t seen for a while,’’ she said.
