Breaching a causeway in Cowichan Bay to give spawning � sh and wildlife more habitat could hap-pen as early as late July.

Geotz Schuerholz, chairman of the Cowichan Estuary Restoration & Conservation Association, explained his group has most of the money and permits

to commission yanking about 45 feet of Westcan Terminals’ causeway.

It leads to Western Stevedoring’s dormant site, and an old dock bordering the bay.

The idea surrounds giving far more Co-wichan River salmon a � ghting chance for survival.

By cutting the solid causeway, � sh headed back to salt water — via the river north of the causeway — can reach the bay’s healthy southern-sector eelgrass beds for food and predator shelter.

Cowichan Land Trust members have planted new eelgrass on the estuary’s south side, where Schuerholz hopes more � sh reach through the breach.

“It’s an arti� cial dike,” he said of the road-causeway. “We’d breach that dike by about 45 feet; the opening would be about 36 feet.”

A double-lane bridge would be built over the gap. Geotechnical survey results show solid gravel deposits at the breach side, which facilitates the design of the bridge’s superstructure.

CERCA’s project has $100,000 from the Southern Paci� c Salmon Commission Fund. It has also applied to Fisheries for $30,000 from the river’s Sandy Pools project, in efforts to help estuary � sh and wildlife.

“Anything would be better than what we have now,” Schuerholz said.

Langford man dead in Malahat motorcycle crash

A 64-year-old man succumbed to injuries he sustained from being struck by a vehicle on the Malahat on Monday afternoon.

The motorcycle rider, Gerald Ernest Loiselle, aged 64, of Victoria, was riding in the northbound lane shortly after 4 p.m. when a SUV turned left from South Shawnigan Lake Road northward onto the Trans-Canada Highway.

The SUV was driven by a 41-year-old Victoria woman, who was not injured in the collision.

The motorcyclist sustained severe injuries as a result of the crash. Despite the efforts of emergency medical services at the scene and en route to the hospital, he passed away.

“Our thoughts are with this man’s family and friends” Sgt. Scott Stephen, detachment commander for the Shawni-gan Lake RCMP, said in a media release. “We’d like to extend our appreciation to those who rendered assistance at the scene, and for the patience shown by ev-eryone who was delayed as we completed our investigation.”

The highway was completely closed for about an hour and a half, while a RCMP collision analyst/reconstructionist conduct-ed a detailed investigation of the crash.

Bald tires, hydroplaning, and driver inexperi-ence contributed to one of Cowichan’s worst traf� c fatalities in recent memory.

The Oct. 14, 2012 crash on the Malahat killed three people and injured � ve others.

B.C. coroner Lyn Blenkinsop’s report explains how a seat-belted Pheap Top, 30, died instantly when her southbound, four-door 1997 Honda CRV — carry-ing four other passengers — collided head on with a GMC pickup truck on the Malahat’s so-called NASCAR corner, near Shawnigan Lake.

Two other passengers were killed during the 11:25 a.m. crash just north of Whittaker Road, where the Honda was split in two on impact.

Diane Muriel Lacasca Bocacao, 19, and Gene Kloie Resu Jamisola, 16, were later identi� ed by the coroner as the other two killed.

The triple tragedy helped spur Cowichanians’ calls for Malahat median upgrades, still being completed.

Top’s hydroplaning Honda started a counter-clockwise rotation, sliding across the highway into the northbound lane in front of a full-size pickup, Blenkinsop’s report explains.

The pickup’s driver tried to avoid the collision by applying his brakes and swerving to his right, but the truck could not stop in time and struck the Honda’s right side. Both vehicles ended in the highway’s east-side ditch, she says.

The front half of Top’s Honda stood upright in the ditch; the rear half ended partly on its roof, and partially in its right side in the northbound lane.

The GMC pickup received extensive front-end dam-age, coming to rest against the passenger-side portion of the Honda in the ditch.

Top’s other two passengers, and the pickup’s three seat-belted adults, were also taken to hospital.

“The driver of the Honda SUV was killed, as well as the female front passenger, and the female in the rear passenger seat who was ejected from the car,” Shawni-gan Lake RCMP Sgt. Rob Webb said at the time.

A 20-year-old male was also ejected and taken to Victoria General Hospital with life-threatening inju-ries, said Webb.

“A six-year-old girl, who was wearing her seatbelt, is described as a miracle for surviving this horri� c crash.”

Wednesday, July 9, 2014 Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 3

Kathy SantiniNews Leader Pictorial

Most people are so busy doing everything that’s necessary to keep a life going — work-

ing, making dinner, supervising homework and carpooling the kids — that they don’t have the time to do the things they’d like.

Things like contributing � nancially or time -wise to the groups and causes they’d like to support.

A new program, called Mealshare, is making that a little bit easier.

Come July 10, � ve restaurants in the Cowichan Valley — Rusticana, Bad Habits, Hudson’s on First, The Old Fork and the Shipyard — will identify a number of their menu items as part of the Mealshare program.

One dollar from the cost of each designated dish will be given to Mealshare. Of that, the non-pro� t, which has been running for almost a year, will delegate about 70% to the Canadian Mental Health Associa-tion’s Warmland House homeless shelter with a small portion of that going to Save the Children Canada.

James Tousignant, Warmland House’s manager, said his orga-nization was contacted by Blair Howard, who’s on the outreach committee for Shawnigan Lake’s Sylvan United Church.

“They had heard about the Mealshare program and they door-knocked from Mill Bay to Lady-smith to see if there was any interest from local restaurants,” Tousignant said. “It’s a wonderful story, Blair’s group did all the legwork, they opened up a lot of doors.”

Tousignant said Mealshare usually

searches for partner restaurants, but in this case it was a committed group of volunteers who did the work.

Joan Keith-Burgwin, the church’s team leader, said it all came about after Howard learned about Mealshare from the internet.

“Warmland had come to us asking for help and we said we couldn’t because we had a tiny budget,” Keith-Burgwin said.

“After Blair found Mealshare, he said, ‘This is fabulous, this is how we can get Warmland more money.’”

After meeting with Warmland staff, Tousignant said they had a second meeting with co-founder An-drew Hall, who was persuaded by their enthusiasm, even though the Cowichan area is smaller than the communities they usually launch in.

Mealshare, in a little less than a year says it has already provided more than 50,000 meals to people in need in Vancouver, Victoria,

Edmonton and Calgary.Co-founder Jeremy Bryant said he

and his cousin Hall were like many Canadian kids, who grew up in nice houses. They didn’t want for much.

“We started travelling and it was a real eye opener, we saw people who couldn’t afford to eat, that seemed crazy given how we grew up,” Bryant said. “It struck both of us that we should do something about it.”

Both keen volunteers, they quickly realized while volunteering in Alberta and Victoria that, “hunger wasn’t over there, it impacts people in Canada too.”

Nick Both, general manager of The Old Fork said a similar concept had been on his radar for about six months before he was approached. The decision wasn’t hard to make.

“It’s important to give back to your community both locally and nationally,” he said. His establish-ment plans to put the Mealshare

logo beside one or two breakfast items and one or two from lunch.

Keith-Burgwin said she hopes that once more restaurants hear about the program, they’ll join too.

While Tousignant said he had no idea how much additional funding the program will bring to his orga-nization, it will all help fund the 70 breakfast and supper meals his or-ganization serves and the additional 50 on the days it serves lunch.

“It’s just wonderful for us, we’re hoping more restaurants come on board.”

UP FRONT

Put another Notch on your kindness beltHe’s a lover, not a fi ghter.Notch, a six-year old Dogue de Bordeaux

pit bull cross has horrible injuries, likely the result of other dogs attacking him, said the Cowichan and District SPCA’s Sandi Trent.

The animal protection agency is asking for area residents’ help to pay for his medical bills.

They’re estimated to be about $2,000.“He has no teeth, so he couldn’t defend

himself,” she said.On top of his numerous lacerations and

injuries, Notch also required surgery to remove an egg-sized rock from his stomach.

Despite his various medical concerns, Trent

said the dog is the most loveable dog around.“He’s a real sweetheart; he gives the best

kisses,” she said. “To know him is to love him.”To help Notch and/or other animals like him,

you can donate online at www.spca.bc.ca/medicalemergency or in person at 7550 Bell McKinnon Rd.

Kathy SantiniNews Leader Pictorial

The City of Duncan, Cowichan Valley Regional District, and Municipal-ity of North Cowichan have placed restrictions on

water use for area residents.Concerns about a low snow pack,

lack of rainfall, and a projected dry summer, means that Stage 2 water restrictions have been implemented in areas throughout the Cowichan Valley to ensure adequate water supply.

The restrictions — watering is al-lowed a total of six hours per week — are:

Even addresses are allowed to water on Wednesdays and Saturdays, 6 to 9 a.m. or 7 to 10 p.m.; while odd addresses are allowed to water on Thursdays and Sundays — 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. or 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Trees, shrubs and gardens can be hand-watered any day during the above speci� ed hours with a hose and a spring-loaded nozzle or bucket.

Residents with automatic sprinklers are reminded they are responsible for programming their sprinklers so they fall within the watering timelines.

Those hearing a � re siren are urged to turn off their sprinklers immedi-ately.

For more information about water-ing restrictions, contact the City of Duncan at 746-6126 or check its web-site out at www.duncan.ca; for North Cowichan, call the North Cowichan Engineering Department at 250 746-3128 and for the CVRD, contact the engineering services department at 250-746-2530.

Local water restrictions bumped upLimits: residents can water up to six hours a week

Cowichan voters must wait until September to know their NDP candidate in the 2015 federal election,

following Saturday’s nominee-meeting postponement.

Hilary Abbott is one of five nominees in the Cowichan-Mala-hat-Langford riding who were set for Saturday’s (July 5) nomination huddle at Duncan’s Island Savings Centre.

Reasons for the delay were un-clear at press time.

Abbott signalled he was disap-pointed, but somewhat relieved, at the date being pushed back by NDP brass.

“It was coming upon us some-what quickly, so all nominees now have the opportunity to work

more this summer to get to know the party faithful,” he said of the tentative Sept. 21 nominee meeting at the ISC.

Abbott, a valley cheesemaker, noted he was “disheartened” a local NDP candidate won’t be chosen in time to “circulate in the riding with the current NDP MP

(Jean Crowder).”Crowder is not running in the

Oct. 19, 2015 election; she’s retir-ing after four terms in Ottawa representing Nanaimo-Cowichan constituents.

Riding hopefuls include Ian Mor-rison, Ellen Oxman, Nick Wade, Allister McGregor, and Abbott.

NDP faithful will have to wait until fallCrowder’s replacement: Decision on who will take her place postponed

Andrew LeongMP Jean Crowder addresses the crowd at the Canada Day celebration at the B.C. Forest Discovery Centre.

Speed not an issue in crashfrom page 1

The highway was in good repair. The site was at a slight downhill angle, and carried an 80-kilometre-per-hour speed limit, reports the coroner.

Both vehicles were going 88 kph, but dropped to 86 kph seconds before impact, their computers show.

“Visibility was good, and traffic flow was light to moderate,” notes Blenkin-sop.

Mechanical inspection of the Honda showed tread depth, on both rear tires measured from zero to three millime-tres, from one side to the other.

Normal tread depth for new tires averages 7.9 to 8.7 mm, notes the coroner.

“What remained of the (Honda’s) tread pattern was below the built-in wear indicators, indicating its tires should have been replaced.”

Tires in this condition would be unable to dissipate roadway rainwa-ter, and would have compromised the Honda’s lateral stability, causing hydroplaning, she explains.

Given those poor tires, any braking or steering by the driver (Top) would have caused the CRV to spin.

Top was licensed, but had only been driving for about a year.

“... Driver inexperience in handling a hydroplaning vehicle would have been a contributing factor in this accident,” Blenkinsop says.

The crash closed the Malahat in both directions for some six hours while police rerouted traffic along Shawnigan Lake Road.

The scene was attended by the Mala-hat and Mill Bay fire halls.

Members used two sets of the Jaws of Life to remove people from the mangled wreckage.

Fire crews later received trauma counseling after attending the horrific wreck.

Courtesy Rob PattersonBald tires, hydroplaning, and driver inexperi-ence are cited by the coroner as reasons for this 2012 Malahat crash that killed three and injured five, along NASCAR corner.

Ashley DegraafNews Leader Pictorial

“Gory.” “The worst.” “Horror stories.” “Hardest physical feat you’ll ever experience.”

These are just some of the ways giving birth is described in a column I wrote almost a year after my son was born.

I recently looked back at this tongue-in-cheek piece about bragging rights with women and their worst labour stories for a couple reasons: last month, I gave birth to my second child, a beautiful baby girl and the way I see childbirth has changed.

I gave birth to Audrey without the fear I felt when I was pregnant with Jack.

It’s probably because I’ve been around the block before, but also because the reading material and conversations I had before were

quite different.Instead of watching episode upon episode

of women white-knuckling hospital bed rails in TLC’s A Baby Story I was watching eye-opening documentaries like The Business of Being Born and � ipping through books like midwife Ina May Gaskin’s Guide to Childbirth.

My outlook towards the big � nale was dif-ferent because I discovered something pretty cool about the mind-body connection.

If you let people’s stories about how trau-matic their deliveries were overtake the way you picture birth, there’s a good chance you will have another “gory story” to add to the others.

Not only does this work in an emotional kind of way, but in a physical sense too.

Gaskin talks about women she cared for during labour. Often when they were strug-gling, or not advancing, she would gently ask if there was something bothering them or that they were holding onto. They’d tell her about

a fear or worry they had.Once they felt the relief of shar-

ing and letting go she’d notice a change almost right away in their composure and cervix. Baby would make its appearance shortly after.

For some moms, talking about their hor-ri� c birth experience is a way for them to heal. That’s OK. It can go sideways, and you shouldn’t hold onto any � rm expectations on how exactly it should play out. But birth doesn’t have to be traumatic.

When I’m asked this time how the labour went instead of starting ‘Oh, man it was horrible,’ I’m more inclined to say things like, ‘It was awesome’, and ‘It was so amazing having her at home,’ and ‘It was quick.’

To be fair, when Audrey decided to make her appearance she wasn’t lollygagging. I’m talking 2 1/2 hours quick.

And you’re probably thinking, ‘No wonder

now you can say it went so well, and it was awesome,’ but for me her arrival was part of an overall experience which included two very calm, knowledgeable and passionate midwives caring for me up to that day.

Now if only more women would brag about how great it was, rather than how aw-ful it was, maybe we’d eventually start to see a change in the way we view birth.

The � nal moment you will remember al-ways is what you were working for the entire time. It’s far from being gory, the worst, a horror story, or the hardest physical feat.

It’s the moment you fall in love forever. Ashley Degraaf is a News Leader Pictorial reporter on maternity leave following the birth of her second child

Any incinerator plan would have a lot to proveShould we? trumps ‘can we’ as question of the day

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”

Most will be familiar with these wise words from the philosopher Aristotle.

They are words that need to be applied in the wake of news Cowichan Tribes is investigating the possibility of building an incinerator to burn waste in Cowichan.

We understand Tribes is facing a cash crunch due to the rising cost of shipping garbage. We understand it is incumbent on chief and council to leave no rock unturned as they try to do what’s best for the community. And we understand the anonymous notes left around the community last week were a textbook example of fear-mongering.

But history has taught us to be very skeptical incineration is the answer.

Certainly concerns about air pollu-tion and the disposal of the toxic materials left behind from the incineration process are of uppermost concern.

In the nearly 20 years that have passed since this community moved away from incineration, technology may have advanced to a point where incinerators can be considered “safe” neighbours. We would like to see strong evidence that is actually the case.

Some say creating energy by burning waste actually creates a net bene� t in terms of a community’s carbon footprint. We will need to carefully look at proof.

Because a clear-cut case of creating jobs and cutting costs to the taxpayer is not enough, not in a community that values quality of life above economic development.

Knowledge is a good thing. In that context, we support Tribes conducting a proper investigation into the potential risks and rewards of an incinerator. But the question begging to be answered is not “how can we do it?”

The more important question is “should we?”

We say:Economic gain not the priority here

Within a week of running our first ad in the Pictorial we began receiving inquiries from families who were unaware of Dwight as an option for their children. Furthermore, we

were consistently impressed by the professional manner and supportive nature in which Pictorial staff conducted themselves. The exposure through the Pictorial has been invaluable for letting parents and children know about the educational opportunities at Dwight, and we value the support we have received from local families.

No project imminent, public will be consultedDear editor

Khowutsun Development Corporation is in fact not days away from approving any such project regarding a garbage plant. Furthermore, Cowichan Tribes leadership assures we will not proceed with any major project regarding waste to energy if it compromises the health and safety of our membership and Cowichan Valley citizens. The key components to poten-tial projects for Cowichan Tribes are safety, security, employment, economic opportunity and the general well-being of those who are involved and affected by any means to the developments being explored.

Working on behalf of Cowichan Tribes membership, KDC has been designated to follow the mandate of restoring economic opportunity through meaning-ful business prospects. To date, Cowichan Tribes chief and council has explored various ideas that could provide long-term bene� ts to our community while also creating employment via sustain-able eco-friendly avenues. It is our responsibility to turn to the community regarding endeavours drawn from membership mandate. So if upon project review � ndings leadership feels a project is worthy of consideration, then we will go to Cowichan Tribes members through a series of information sessions.

It is most important to make clear that Cowichan Tribes leader-ship has surely not given � nal

approval to a major project and will not approve of any hazardous development that could potentially endanger anyone in the Cowichan Valley.William Seymour, chiefCowichan Tribes

Public access should be allowed along the dikeDear editor

What was not mentioned in your front-page article of June 27 is that access to the dike is also plugged. If you attempt to reach the dike from the footpath along the Cowichan River on the Boys Road side of the Silver Bridge, you are brought to a dramatic stop by several huge trees deliberately felled across the path, � ve feet before the dike begins. Private property signs are posted everywhere. You have reached the end of your walk. In the good old days — last year — you could walk unimpeded to the site of the dike and well beyond, to a magni� cent

swimming hole. I used to bring my kids there often. Not any more.

I would like to hear both from the Cowichan Tribes and the CVRD on this matter.Dunstan ChicanotDuncan

Nothing miserable about this experienceDear editor

Having seen the musical per-formed in London by the original cast, and, more recently, having watched the 2012 Tom Hooper movie, we went to the Chemainus Theatre production of Les Miserables with a great deal of curiosity as to how such a lavish show could be adapted to our smaller local environment. We had much curiosity, but frankly no great expectations. Boy, were we surprised! Peter Jorgensen’s direction is inspired. The perfor-mance was superb, from the set de-sign to the singing to the costumes

to the acting. It is hard to single out any speci� c talent, it all worked so well together. All in all, the most memorable performance of all the excellent ones at the Chemainus Theatre festival — an A+++!Peter and Margaret JonesChemainus

Research show fracking should make us concernedDear editor

In your short article about Bill Woollam’s concern on the dangers of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas, you implied this was Mr. Wool-

lam’s fear and belief and you failed to mention that geologists and scientists have done the research and have published peer-reviewed papers that prove that fracking for natural gas does contaminate aqui-fers and groundwater sources. Just use a computer to google search: peer-reviewed research on fracking contamination.Grant PeetDuncan

Reckless dirtbiker is going to kill someoneDear editor

Re: “Dirtbags on dirtbikes” This unlicensed dirtbike has frequently been witnessed speeding through the school zone and playground at excessively high rates of speed regardless of children being pres-ent. On more than one occasion the dirtbiker � ed a police chase, even with the siren on and lights � ashing. That action in itself, is a criminal offence. Speeding past a moving vehicle using the sidewalk, narrowly missing a pedestrian and two children on skateboards, are just a few examples of his negligent actions. His wanton reckless disregard for the safety of the citizens of our community is undoubtedly criminal behaviour.

If this dirtbiker isn’t stopped, it won’t be a matter of if he seriously injures or kills someone, it will be a matter of when. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen to your daughter, son, a loved one or a cherished pet.Lou ClealandCrofton

John McKinley/fileThe causeway leading from the Cowichan Estuary to the Westcan Termi-nals in Cowichan Bay may be opened in order to improve the ecological health of Cowichan Bay.

from page 1

Currently, there’s little to no eelgrass left in the bay’s northern area due to log scouring, Schuerholz said.

“Twenty (north bay) hectares of eelgrass have been taken out of production. It’s been wiped out due to log transport over the years,” said the respected wildlife ecologist and consultant.

That leaves salmon searching for scarce habitat in the bay’s southern end during spawning season.

“There’s been no circulation between the north and south sides for 50 years. We want to get spawn in the south side’s eel-

grass for a much higher survival rate, and it will dramatically enhance the spawn,” he said.

More circulation will also create better habitat for the struggling estuary’s com-plex web of marine critters, Schuerholz noted.

CERCA has a federal Fisheries’ permit for the causeway work. Permits are still needed from the Cowichan Valley Re-gional District, B.C. Crown lands, and BC Hydro has to readjust a causeway power line.

“The province wants an estuary (altera-tion) application from the lease holder, Tidal Harmony Holdings, which is de-

funct. It doesn’t make any sense,” he said.Technically, the causeway road sits on

Crown land leased to Tidal Harmony Holdings. The causeway ends at an old dock formerly owned by the CNR. It re-verted to Crown land, and was sub-leased to Western Stevedoring. That lease expired in 2009, he said.

The group also wants to pull derelict logs from the estuary’s Mariner’s Island, just north of the river, and return it to fish and wildlife habitat.

Meanwhile, given lapsed leases, and most of the money in place, CERCA members are optimistic their planned breach will reach reality this summer.

Breach will allow circulation in estuary habitat

It’s here and it’s hot.

Summer of� cially graced us with its pres-ence on June 21 and we’ve been feeling the

heat ever since.Some days it’s so hot, we’d

really rather wear nothing! Alas, we must (in public) and so here is a list on hot ways to stay cool this sum-mer by jazzing up your summer staples:

Invest in good fabric

Go natural when it comes to fabric content.

Anything remotely poly-ester will have you sweating buckets. Try lightweight cottons, linens, and silks for maximum cool comfort.

Accessorize with H20.There’s a lot of water

bottles out there. And since a good one will last a lifetime,

you’ve got to choose one you love — it’s going to be around for a while.

How do you choose yours? Personally, I go by colour

and sleekness. The Swell brand (which you can � nd at the Duncan Garage) is just that and they also keep your drink cool for hours.

Practical and chic – get one!Jazz up your sunnies

A new season, a new reason to ac-cessorize. Sum-mer shades are a fabulous accessory and each year they

seem to get more interesting. While

they might not exactly keep your body cool, they will stop your eyes from burning and that’s pretty important.

Experiment with shapes and go out of your comfort zone. Summer is all about fun and a funky pair of sunglasses is a joyful way to celebrate the season.

Flip-fl ops foreverNot good for your back, not

good for your feet, but de� -nitely good for your spirit; � ip � ops are a summer staple.

There’s nothing like the ease of slipping on your old

Havianas and not wearing anything else until Septem-ber. Embrace this summer favourite for almost every occasion (just don’t tell your chiropractor).

Wear swimwear as outerwearDue in part to the resur-

gence of everything ‘nineties’,

swimwear as outerwear is all the rage right now. Pair your swimsuit with a high-waisted skirt and Birkenstocks for a super current and cool look; because here in the valley, it’s all about how quickly you can transition from work to the river!

The Duncan Fire Department has been instrumental in making it happen and Rembrandt’s Choco-lates is supplying some tasty prizes.

This Saturday, a new day-long festival in Chemainus will bring the

rockin’ sights and sounds of the 1950s to Water-wheel Park.

The Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society (CVCAS) presents the � rst Chemainus Rocka-billy Rumble Saturday, July 12 from noon to 8 p.m. at Waterwheel Park.

Performers include Hank Angel, Slim Sandy, Sweet Potato Brown, Hell Katz, and Tropic Mayhem. There will also be a display of vintage cars in the Water-wheel Park parking lot throughout the day.

The festival was born when members of Hell Katz wanted to have a rockabilly festival and approached the CVCAS about using Waterwheel Park, explained CVCAS president Bob Johns. The society said it would see

what it could do about organizing the festival, and now, the event is just days away.

“It’s brand-new this year,” said Johns. “The rockabilly community is promoting it quite well, and we’re expecting quite a good turnout for it.

“It will be kind of a Happy Days, 1950s thing, and I’m sure a lot of people will be in the

mood and will dress in 1950s style. The music was the very � rst rock ‘n’ roll that came out, and I think people will really enjoy it.”

Admission is by donation, with $15 being suggested.

For more information, visitchemainusrockabilly.com.

“It’s supposed to be a fun day,” said Johns.

Let’s get ready to rumbleTHE BIG EVENT

Classical singer awarded Walden bursaryGot a comment or a story?email [email protected] 250-746-4471

Zander Felton has been named winner of the annual David Walden Memorial Scholarship.

The $650 bursary was awarded in the wake of a public competition recital held at Sylvan United Church. Felton, a classical voice student, will study music in September at the University of Victoria.

Runners up were Madison Gray, a pianist leaving to study at Dalhousie University in Halifax and Lahna Lampson, a harpist headed to Concordia

University in Montreal. Greg Finnegan presented the scholarship to Felton at the end of the recital. Anyone wishing to donate to the scholarship fund for future years can contact Ruth Williams or Ann Mendenhall.

The late Walden was a professor emeritus from Ryerson Theatre School in Toronto who retired to the valley. The Cowichan Valley Music Teachers’ Association presents the award in his memory to a student committed to a lifelong exploration of music.

Kenyan choirin CowichanEncore! women’s choir

is letting someone else take centre stage.

A premier youth choir from Kenya will be their guests next week for a concert in Duncan.

The State House Girls High School Choir will be here today as part of a journey to British Coumbia culminating in Powell River’s Internation-al Choral Kathaumixw.

Kathaumixw is a bi-annual, international choral festival which runs for one week in July (this year July 1 to 5) and fea-tures choirs from Canada, the U.S.A. and throughout the world.

“After a week of com-petition and numerous concert appearances, many of the choirs go on tour around the province before returning to their home countries,” Encore!’s Ann Yelland said in a media release.

“Over the years, Encore! has had the pleasure of hosting a number of international choirs after their Kathaumixw appear-ances and this year they are preparing to welcome the State House Girls High School Choir from Kenya.”

The release states the State House choir was established in 1954. At full strength, it has 50 members, although not all of them will be attending Kathaumixw. All singers are members of the school and range in age from 14 to 17.

It has performed in the Kenya National Music Festival and won top honours in classes featur-ing set pieces, African-American music and African compositions and arrangements.

The State House Girls High School Choir will be in concert at the Duncan United Church at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 at the door. Children 12 and under are free.

For more information contact Yelland, 250-748-1010.

The moment the ball hit the back of the net will forever be etched in Anna Slang’s memory.

The Cowichan Valley Soc-cer Association product moved up from centre back on a corner kick to score one of those goals players dream about. Her header gave the Vancouver Island Wave U15 girls a 1-0 victory over Sur-rey United and the Provincial A Cup championship.

“Just the highlight of my soccer career so far,’’ raved the personable Slang, 15. “It was insane. It was so exciting.’’

The goal that produced the victory also carried some historical significance.

“This is the first time in the Vancouver Island Wave history that a girls’ team has participated in the finals as well as won the event,’’ noted Andrew Latham, head coach of the Lower Island Soccer Association.

The Wave is made up of Lower Island and Upper Island Soccer Association members and plays in the B.C. Soccer Premier League.

Slang scored in the first half and the Wave held on through a hectic second half. For her efforts, Slang was also chosen the most valuable player of the game by the B.C. Soccer provincial staff.

The lead-up to the provincial final was just the start of a busy summer for

Slang.“I’ll be in Vancouver every day for

pretty much the entire month of July with Phase 2 of the player development program for the provincial team,’’ she said.

“So I’ll be training almost every day of the week, games on the weekend and then we’re finishing with a week-long tournament at UBC against, I think, most of the Prairie provinces.’’

Watch for more on Slang July 16 when she’ll be featured as the Youth Athlete of the Week.

Soccer star claims fame

Don BodgerCowichan soccer product and Frances Kelsey Secondary student Anna Slang made the Van-couver Island Wave’s first Provincial Cup girls’ championship a reality at the A level.

Provincial Cup: Lone goal and MVP selection something to savour for Slang


A novelty round July 2 put ladies’ division members at Cowichan Golf and Country Club on the right course for their annual tournament Sunday.

Kathy Coates, Rosemary Branting, Mazine Klee and Ellen Norton were the novelty win-ners. Cathy Brown had a birdie on No. 9 while Ellen Merriam (No. 13) and Kathryn Oliphant (No. 15) were K.P. winners.

Marianne Hunt, Shirley Walker, Sandy Buchanan and Mandy McKelvie claimed top spot in their handi-cap divisions during a medal, pin round June 25.

Hunt also carded a birdie on No. 3 and won the No. 6 K.P. Oliphant took the K.P. for No. 15 and Joyce Willis had the day’s only other birdie on No. 6.

Chip-ins were made by Merriam on No. 1, Nancy Munro on No. 2 and Val Anderson on No. 18.

A Stableford June 18 resulted in handicap division wins from the blue tees for Merriam and Tina Pace and on the white tees for Munro, Anderson, Willis and Klee.

Birdies were made by Linda Wilson and Coates on No. 13 and Judy Turner on No. 15.

No. 15 also brought a K.P. for Turner. Merriam (No. 6), Pace (No. 8) and Willis (No. 13) were the others who earned K.P.s while Christa Robson and Norton made rare chip-ins on No. 12 and 10, respectively.

The June 4 medal, pin, spoon game brought handi-cap division wins for Doreen White, Merriam, Pace and Louise Ketilson. Hunt recorded birdies on No. 3 and 15, with a K.P. on the latter.

Oliphant was the K.P. recipient on No. 6.And May’s play ended with a par round May 28 that

featured more prolific golf by Hunt. She was a K.P. winner on No. 8 and also made a chip-in on No. 15.

Carmine Wright, Merriam, Carol Willan and Pat Davis topped their respective handicap groups. Lynda Morrison made an eagle on No. 3 and a birdie on 13.

Ladies keep on the right course

Andrew LeongFrom tee to tree, Cowichan member Glenda Barrett finds herself in trouble on the ninth hole, but manages to chip the ball from under a tree onto the fairway at the Ladies’ Cowichan Open on Sunday. Be-low, Cowichan’s Nancy Munro chips the ball onto the ninth green.

Golf digest: Hunt always in the hunt with some great play at Cowichan



Two valley track and field stars are right on track with their focus and results heading into the heart of the season.

Chicago Bains and Taryn Smi-ley both ran well during the prestigious Jack Brow meet in Kelowna.

“Everything is progressing very well, pretty much as planned this season despite them both having some injury issues which we have managed very well,’’ noted John May, who coaches the girls.

“All things seem to be headed where I want for them both, as the following weekend in Kamloops is where one of the two big peaks in their season is targeted to occur.’’

Kelowna provided a challenge, with ath-letes running into stiff headwinds.

Bains jumped into her first of four events, the 100-metre hurdles, and faced Katelyn Slessor from Calgary who’d beaten her by a large margin in Calgary two weeks earlier.

In Kelowna, Bains had a great start and was leading at hurdle six before a very minor

error allowed Slessor an opportunity to get ahead. Bains caught her again and then Slessor just got ahead in the run at the end of the race.

It was a fabulous race for both girls, May noted, with Slessor first in 14.16 and Bains second in a personal best 14.22 despite a negative head wind of 1.0m/second.

“Had there been no wind, I’m sure the girls would have both been under 14 sec-onds,’’ raved May.

Bains and Smiley faced about the same head wind at -1.1 for the 200-metre race. Bains took second in a personal best of 25.49 seconds and Smiley third in 25.60 in a strong race for both girls.

On the second day, the 100 heats were the first event and both girls ran well to qualify for the final. Five heats were required so making the final was by no means a slam dunk, according to May.

Bains then had to win a 300-hurdle race, as the weather turned nasty with swirling

winds. She still ran an incredible personal best of 43.89 and was showing signs of fatigue after the race that was not surprising, according to May.

“There was little time to recover before the 100 final,’’ he added.

Suddenly, it rained hard and the meet was delayed. When they resumed, the girls ran a great final but a rerun was necessary as the camera and timing equipment had not started.

“At that point, I was not in favour of the girls running again, especially soaking wet and chilled, especially Chicago, as the risk of injury was just too high,’’ pointed out May.

Bains did not do the rerun, but Smiley did and finished second with a extremely good time of 12.51 into a negative 0.4 wind during what amounted to her third 100 of the day.

The girls headed to Burnaby for the next meet along with Nicole Lindsay before the provincial championships in Kamloops.

Bains was also accepted to run in the 100 hurdles at the Victoria International Track Classic that put her on the same track with Olympians Tuesday.


Tristan Mandur is just 15, but he’s already on par with some of the best male

golfers on the Island.Mandur just completed

Grade 9 at Shawnigan Lake School and has sud-denly become a household name for some of the electrifying scores he’s been recording this year.

And he’s done it in such a composed manner that it seems no competition of any magnitude can faze him.

David Hyde-Lay, who’s a coach in the golf program at Shawnigan Lake School, has seen Mandur’s incredible performances so many times that nothing surprises him anymore.

“Him qualifying for the USGA junior amateur is really quite extraordinary,’’ said Hyde-Lay. “That’s an Under 19 event.

“Everything he’s been doing has been unbe-lievable. There’s no question about it. But that one in particular is extraordinary.’’

It’s not as if Mandur came out of nowhere, however. Last year, he won both the junior and men’s club championships at Arbutus Ridge Golf Club and many people have seen his emergence coming.

What really put Mandur over the top and garnered him all sorts of attention was a 63 in the second round of the men’s amateur earlier this year at Qualicum Beach. He played with Greg Koster both days and, combined with a 68, won by five shots.

“I’ve shot a five-under and a six-under,’’ said Mandur. “I’ve shot a six-under at Arbu-tus and a five-under at Duncan Meadows.’’

This was a remarkable seven-under on the par 70 Qualicum course that included two eagles, three birdies and 13 pars.

“It took a while to sink in,’’ said Mandur about his performance.

Golf has been part of Mandur’s life as long as he can remember. Dad Tibor was a teach-ing professional and Tristan picked up the clubs and started playing at age three.

So with 12 years of golf under his belt, he already has considerable experience.

The story’s been the same for Mandur in tournaments this year wherever he’s gone.

He came second to elite Island player Kevin Carrigan of Royal Colwood in the Zone 5 men’s amateur championship. His 36-hole 138 was just three back of the leader, prompt-ing Carrigan to say, “The kid’s got game.’’

“It’s good to play with better people,’’ said Mandur. “You learn from them.

“I remember watching him (Carrigan) on TV last year in the Canadian Open. He said coming in, ‘You were scaring me.’ He said, ‘I’m not going to lose to this kid.’’’

Mandur took his game to another level in the U.S. junior amateur qualifying event at Bremerton, Washington. He played 36 holes in one day and came from behind to grab one

of just two available spots out of 70 players.Mandur shot a two-over 74 on the first 18

but fought back with a three-under 69 while other players ahead of him faltered.

That put Mandur into the 67th U.S. junior amateur in Texas that will be televised on the Golf Channel during the week of July 21.

It’s just a small part of a crazy schedule that will keep him hopping most of the summer.

Mandur left Sunday to get ready for the four-day B.C. junior at Meadow Gardens in Maple Ridge followed by the B.C. men’s amateur at Mount Seymour, the U.S. junior amateur at Carlton Woods in Texas, the Canadian junior at Niagara, the Eddy Hogan Cup in Portland, Oregon with the B.C. select team and the B.C. juveniles during the last week of August to round it out.

Don BodgerWhether he’s teeing off, above, hitting out of a trap or putting, Tristan Mandur is an amazing talent who can put all facets of the game together to record some of the scores that are turning the heads of golf aficionados everywhere.

submittedGood friends Taryn Smiley, left, and Chicago Bains finished back-to-back in the 200 metres at Kelowna’s Jack Brow meet, battling the wind and each other in some of the same races.

Leech receives more honours as the top senior athlete at Frances Kelsey SchoolGot a sports story?email [email protected] 250-856-0045 The school year ended abruptly but not

without further accolades for Frances Kelsey’s Jed Leech.

The co-winner of the Cowichan News Lead-er Pictorial’s Cowichan Valley Youth Athlete of the Year award for 2013 was also named the top senior athlete at Kelsey for 2013-14 based on his soccer and rugby prowess. And

that’s not even taking into account his water skiing attributes outside of school that he was cited for in the overall valley award.

The top junior athlete was Desirae Ridenour for her phenomenal results in track and field and cross country.

Another of the valley’s overall top 20, No. 13 Claire Seeliger, was honoured with the Wendy

Erickson Sportsperson award named after the late Kelsey field hockey coach. Seeliger led the Kelsey girls into the provincial champion-ships, capping a brilliant high school field hockey career.

Service to athletics winners included: Hunter Robinson, Bailey Fraser and Jung Woo Kim.

Mandur hits the big time with brilliant golf outings

Putting six Cowichan Secondary, five Brent-wood College and one Shawnigan Lake School grad onto the same girls’

rugby team is dangerous enough.Completing the combination with

six Vanier players, two each from Ladysmith and Stelly’s and one each from Claremont and Bel-mont made an imposing 24-player roster for the Island Tsunami that captured the Provincial Regional Championship at UBC.

Darien Hobday, Meena Manhas, Hannah Morten, Kristin Paddle, Britnie Hearsey and Sophia Murray

made up the Cowichan contingent on the team. Brentwood was rep-resented by Jenn Lemon, Brooklyn Navarette, Ciel Arbour-Boehme, Avi Sharabi and Mckenna Haz while Shawnigan Lake’s Nicole Crowley also suited up and served as team captain.

The Tsunami wiped out the competition with four straight wins, beating Fraser Valley and Vancou-ver twice each.

“The kids played fantastic rugby,’’ said head coach Marius Felix of Brentwood College.

Fraser Valley hadn’t been beaten in the tournament in five years, Felix noted, but the Tsunami did it twice. “That was pretty impressive,’’ he said.

The results were 17-0 during dry conditions and 7-0 during a wet final.”On a dry day, it would have been a lot worse,’’ said Felix.

Lemon, Navarette, Arbour-Boehme, Morten, Crowley and Adrienne Saari — unable to play due to illness — were provincial U18 selections and Haz made U16.


Duncan is getting in the groove for the Island regional Midget AA baseball playoffs coming to Evans Park July 26 and

27.Duncan has won four straight exhibi-

tion games over Victoria’s AA team.The first two in Victoria ended in 12-2

and 15-10 wins.Jordy Frost pitched four shutout in-

nings in the first game and struck out 10. Blair Robertson led the offense with three hits.

Duncan appeared to have the second game in the bag but it required work.

“After building an early 14-4 lead, we seemed to relax and let Victoria back into it,’’ noted head coach Jim Frost.

Starting pitcher Adam Sakuma only allowed one run during his stint. Re-

liever Ethan Whitelaw came in with the bases loaded in the fifth and ended the inning with a strikeout.

Zach Komst, Robertson and Jordy Frost had three hits apiece. Tyler Mc-Whirter, Derek Hayes, Spencer Martin and Reiya Tomida added two apiece.

A doubleheader in Duncan Sunday ended in 10-0 and 18-8 wins for the hosts.

Frost pitched a complete-game one-hitter over five innings in the opener. Robertson’s three hits and a bases loaded double by Keir Baknes led the offense.

In the rematch, “after a shaky start that saw us fall behind 8-1 after two in-nings, we scored 17 runs in the next four innings while giving up none,’’ noted coach Frost.

Reliever Tomida shut out Victoria during the final four innings. Jaysen Paddle and Adam Fukakusa scored three runs each for Duncan.

Youth Athleteof the Week

Montana AbelSoftball was a new experience and a worthwhile one this season for Montana Abel, 10, who lives in Shawnigan Lake and just completed Grade 5 at Discovery Elementary School. The South Cowichan Youth Softball Association provided her with the perfect opportunity to try out the game. “She usually dances and so this is her first year trying a sport,’’ said Montana’s mom Katrina Abel. “She’s just come a really long way. She had no experience catching or hitting. She’s really loved it. It’s been a great team and it’s a great league.’’ “I’ve always wanted to play a sport and I love baseball so I picked softball,’’ said Montana, who played on the Mason’s Intermediate team that couldn’t win any games until it counted most in the playoffs. “We just wanted to win,’’ she said. “It was fun. I learned lots. Now, I know all the rules, unlike in the beginning.’’ The immensely improved team caught everyone by surprise but the players worked at it. “The team has a lot of heart,’’ said Katrina. Montana did her part at second base and in the outfield. “Nobody thought we’d get this far or win even,’’ she said.

Don Bodger“She has the statistics for the most on-base every bats,’’ said Katrina Abel of her daughter Montana.
