Mapping the valley’s arts, culture and heritage is the goal of a landmark pilot-project survey being urged for completion by
most Cowichanians.Cowichan Culture Counts could also
spell arts and heritage dollars for valley artists, events and venues too.
“We’re asking them to ll out as many times as applicable to them,” regional arts-and-culture manager Kirsten Schrader said of the Counts survey at cow-ichanvalleyartscouncil.ca.
Culture vultures and heritage hounds of all breeds can do the simple survey holding three steps: area of expertise ( ne- and agri-arts to music and theatre); a brief description of yourself; and personal contact info that can stay private if desired.
“It’ll take maybe ve minutes,” Schrader said the provincial arts-mapping template, “but it has the important data we need for a sense of who’s out there in arts, culture and heritage to deal with cultural planning.”
Results will appear in a consultant’s report in late September.
“Ultimately, we’d have a cultural-tourism website updated with maps of studios, festivals, music venues and more to promote arts and culture in our area,” Schrader said.
That website would boast culturally signi cant environmental features such as the Cowichan River and Mount Prevost, plus heritage structures like Kinsol Trestle, and Mill Bay’s historic little church.
Counts will yield a comprehensive inventory and database of Cowichan’s tangible cultural assets — facilities, organizations, people, public art, festivals,
built and natural heritage — and intangi-ble assets spanning community histories, traditions, and stories, the survey on the arts council’s website explains.
“Data collected can also be used to create a cultural web portal . . . a one-stop-shop for information relating to arts, culture, and heritage within Cowichan.”
“Culture,” said Economic Development Cowichan manager Geoff MiIlar, “is one of our tillers of development. The big
thing is getting hundreds of respondents looking into the survey.”
Counts earned $40,000 from Victoria and Cowichan Tribes to forge an arts mapping tem-plate for other B.C. regions, Schrader explained.
“The Cowichan Valley will be the guinea pig creating the formula for future cultural mapping, using the template
we’re creating with various cultural categories. It’s a wonderful opportunity to put Cowichan’s arts and culture in the province’s mind.”
George Gates, Chamber of Commerce president, was sold.
“Any more tools a business can put on their tool belt to promote themselves, and the Cowichan Valley, is better.”
Counts could help the Warm Land leverage government grants and other cash for Cowichan’s cultural and heritage groups, festivals, shows, artists and venues.
The map might also lead to Cowichan’s rst taxpayer-funded arts-and-culture func-
tion at the regional level, Schrader noted.“There’d by long-term bene ts of grants
and special money they’d be eligible for.“The survey’s the rst step to make the
argument to the powers that be that this (culture) sector’s strong and needs to be recognized as one making a valuable contribution to the economic strength of our area.”

We often mention ways of reducing your risk of medical problems. One you don’t hear about often is marriage. Evidently if you are having coronary bypass surgery, you have a greater survival rate if you are married. It may have something to do with handling stress better or that more married people are non-smokers.
Using heat therapy for sore joints can be very soothing and effective. The length of time heat should be applied is 20-30 minutes per session. Heat is helpful in reducing muscle spasms and arthritic back and neck pain. Heat shouldn’t be used on a new injury, open wounds or infections or swollen or infl amed areas.
Since 20% of Canadians’ weekly food intake comes from restaurant meals there is a move to have more nutritional information available on menus or for the asking. Since some meals are high in calories and
sodium and since hypertension and obesity are real health problems in Canada, this information may help people make better choices when eating out.
Zinc oxide gives the best protection against both UVA and UVB light rays that can damage the skin. A 20% zinc oxide paste provides this protection but it is visible after application and not too acceptable to many people. However for those highly exposed areas like the ears and under the eyes in might be a real option.

Fifty years of family, friendship and down-and-dirty funFifty years of family, friendship and down-and-dirty fun
Maeve MaguireNews Leader Pictorial
It was more like a family reunion than anything else.
The Cowichan Rugby Club celebrated its 50th anniversary last weekend, marking the number of
consecutive years the club has been in operation. Event organizer May Geach said the club has actually been around much longer.
“The club goes back further than that, but because of world wars there were breaks in the timeline,” Geach said.
Founding members, past presidents, current players, alumni and their fami-lies gathered at the CRC to celebrate their membership. The event- lled day started with a game between reigning provincial First Division champions Cowichan Women playing Nanaimo, the team they beat on their quest for the provincial title.
Later, an invitation-only lunch was served to the club’s founding members and past presidents. Gord McGeachy thought that was the highlight of the day.
“Seeing a lot of the original members of the club come back was fantastic. Ev-eryone was genuinely happy to be there and see each other. It was like a step back in time.,” he said.
Geach noticed the same.“The older people who were invited
to the luncheon were absolutely tickled pink to see the people they hadn’t seen for years.”
Family legacy is strong at the rugby club, made clear at the main event where the Sons of Cowichan, a team comprised of men whose fathers had played with the club, competed against the Presi-dent’s XV, an invitational side with men who were current players or alumni with
no familial ties. McGeachy, who was unable to play
due to having just undergone knee surgery, coached the Sons of Cowichan side, which is tting as his father joined CRC in 1966.
“Our rugby club is a family club, totally evidenced by the number of play-ers out for the Sons of Cowichan side,” McGeachy said. “There were enough kids to make an entire team — at least 25 guys. At the 60th anniversary, there will probably be a Daughters of Cowichan game.”
The game ended in a tie, which is
impressive given two players on the President’s XV side were national team players: Doug Woolridge and Brett Beukeboom, who had just signed a professional contract in the U.K.
This high-calibre competition didn’t phase McGeachy.
“Two players do not make a rugby team. Cowichan has a lot of great play-ers.”
Hundreds of people were in attendance to cheer on the two sides, and many stayed afterward for a barbecue dinner and dance.
“It was an exceptional party and an
amazing celebration. I had my friend from London come over for the event, people from out of province and other
places in B.C. came,” McGeachy said.“It was great to reconnect with old
teammates and good friends.”

Red Balloon changes hands while restoration efforts ongoing at old localeRed Balloon changes hands while restoration efforts ongoing at old localePhaedra and Ian Fairwell are the
new owners of downtown Duncan’s landmark Red Balloon Toy Shop.
Phaedra is the daughter of long-time Red Balloon owner, Susan Faulkner.
The Fairwells took ownership May 1 of the popular toy and games store bought by Faulkner some 25 years
ago.Phaedra is a teacher; Ian will man-
age the store offering fun stuff for all ages.
Red Balloon is still operating out of premises at 158 Craig Street while raising and renovations happen at the business’ historic building at the
corner of Craig and Station streets.Red Balloon was forced to move
from its corner home several years ago after a City of Duncan snow plow hit and destabilized the building.
Insurance issues have delayed the re-opening.

Seniors’ group uses last weeks to pass torchSeniors’ group uses last weeks to pass torch
Krista SiefkenNews Leader Pictorial
A dark cloud hangs over Cowichan’s disbanding Seniors Resource Sup-port Society, but there is a silver lining.
Former executive director Jacquie Smith says various programs and services are being saved through talks with other valley groups, busi-nesses and people.
Thrifty Foods, for example, will continue to offer the shopping program for seniors, with SRSS volunteers transferred over. The Good Food Box program, meanwhile, will continue with money dropped off at the Cana-dian Mental Health Association of ce on Festubert Street, and pick-up avail-able at Warmland House.
Still, Smith said it’s a sad time watching as the 25-year-old society is dismantled.
“The fallout has been tragic,” she said.
“Many seniors are feeling orphaned by an organization that worked so hard and provided steady, competent care and nurturing of their concerns. The time is long overdue
for government to be more effective in their outreach, to serve the people they so heavily tax.”
The level of service provided by SRSS, Smith said, won’t be available to the community again — unless another society with a similar mandate forms.
In the meantime, she’s been refer-ring seniors to wherever she thinks they’ll nd the assistance they need. She pointed out many of the seniors she works with want to talk to some-one in person.
“Also, they know that when they call (an organization) often they’re calling someplace else in Canada,” Smith added. “Nobody knows the Cowichan like the Cowichan people, and nobody services the people of Cowichan better than the people
here.”Another concern for seniors, Smith
said, is the move to assistance via the internet.
“They’re disillusioned and upset and furious with the fact that ev-erything is on the web and they’re supposed to learn how to run a computer,” she said.
And Service Canada employees are not permitted to assist seniors ll out forms, so Smith has been
referring a lot of people to Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley’s of ce on Trunk Road.
“And the staff there have noticed the dramatic rise,” Smith said.
“Our closing has created a huge vacuum of support for seniors.”
The last hurrah for the seniors’ organization is July 15’s Elders in the Park gathering, in conjunction with the Duncan Summer Festival. And SRSS will maintain a down-sized of ce presence at its Volunteer Cowichan home until July 31.
“We’re happy to help anybody who needs it before we close, and point them in the right direction — as we always have,” Smith added. “The need is so great. It requires the Of ce of the Senior Advocate, it requires CVRD funding, it requires the active participation of all citizens.
“We’ve done our level best, but even with a million dollars the need is just so great for one organization or society to pick away at. It’s a sad day.”

Three taken to hospital following blazeThree taken to hospital following blaze
Tamu MilesLake Cowichan Gazette
A suspicious re near Lake Cowichan last week oc-curred in a mobile home that was the subject of a tenancy dispute.
At approximately 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 18, residents at the Lake Cowichan Mobile Home Park on Meades Creek Road heard a loud explosion and came into their yards and onto their back porches to discover Unit 27 on re.
Park co-manager Pat Duringer said they had been having trouble with the resident for some time.
“He had been evicted,” she said. “We had an order of possession for July 9.”
She added the issue was more about the company the resident kept, stating she had to deliver a letter March 15, asking his associate to leave the trailer park.
Police called the re suspicious. The exact cause is under investiga-tion. The power had been cut to the residence.
Park co-manager,Mike Duringer
said the man who lives in the home is in hospital, while RCMP Cpl. Larry Olson reported two men in a neigh-bouring unit who attacked the re using a garden hose had to be taken to hospital for smoke inhalation.
Members of the Lake Cowichan and Youbou re departments were on scene for more than four hours containing the blaze, which quickly spread to one neighbouring unit, and threatened others.
“The structures are dangerous, they were collapsing, so that’s why we had to keep our distance a little bit,” said Lake Cowichan re chief Doug Knott. “They’re so close together that
when one started it started the other one.”
Neighbour Kaz Kojder said he was taking a nap when the re started.
“I heard screaming and I looked out the window and from here I could see the ames already. I went out to my back deck and saw how big the ames were so I knew (it) was a goner immediately and that’s when I started to worry about me. I just moved in. I’m almost exactly one month.”
At this time RCMP have no sus-pects and no one in custody. Anyone with information about the re can call local RCMP at 250-749-6668.

What kind of monetary investment is appropriate when it comes to paying your respects to the dearly departed? What price do you put on a funeral?
Usually that’s a personal decision made by fami-lies after consulting with a funeral home.
And usually it works because the funeral director will provide a list of options and the family is free to decide which best suits its means
and their lost loved one.But when the decision is taken out of
family hands and turns into a negotiation, it can get ugly.
Just like it has in the reburial plans for nine people whose remains were unex-pectedly discovered during excavation for the Mill Bay Marina.
As reported last week, marina develop-ers and the Malahat First Nation are at loggerheads about what the developer
should pay for re-interment. Both parties agree the developer should pay something. The developer says it is not obligated to pay any-thing, and thinks an offer of $10,000 is a more-than-fair gesture. The band says its planned reburial will cost $30,000 and that is more ap-propriate. It’s not hard for an outsider to conclude the band is feeling disrespected while the developer feels milked.
It doesn’t need to be this way. Funerals are too emotional to get tied to something as calculated as land development. Laws need to be in place that spell exactly what is expected in these kinds of situations.
Take the negotiation out of it. Give developers the nancial cer-tainty they crave. Give the bereaved family (the band) a pre-decided budget to take into their funeral planning.
Generations of people buried their dead in this valley. You can’t always predict when or where their remains will be uncovered. But you can plan for the aftermath.
Then the dead can be left to rest in peace.
The case forThe case forVancouver Island rail boosters are
pointing to the recent restoration of the Nanaimo train station as pointing the way for line restoration.
And they are right. Communities were built around rail hubs. Duncan is the perfect example of that.
But while its station is still a com-munity centrepiece, that’s not the case in other locales like Chemainus and Shawnigan. Time to change that.
Seeing both sides of: Railway station renovationThe case againstThe case againstWhile the Nanaimo example is won-
derful case of a community coming together, we can’t help but wonder if it was a wasted exercise.
Passenger railway service is dead, people. Other than a few scattered freight trains, the line is on life support.
Rail only exists in the dreams of rail romantics and green commuters.
Show us the train. Then maybe we’ll get on track.
Dayliner service was discontinued in April of 2011.

Jay SiskaNews Leader Pictorial
There are basically four types of driv-ers on the Malahat.
1) The Regular Commuter: this person is a good driver, knows the route, and drives between the speed
limit and 10 km/h over.2) The White-Knuckler: this driver fears the
Malahat, believes it is a death-trap, and drives 15 km/h under the limit.
3) The Self-Appointed-Speed-Attentuator: this person thinks the majority of fellow drivers are speed-crazed and dangerous, and takes it upon himself or herself to never drive above the speed limit in either the single lane or the pass-ing lane, to prevent what they feel is dangerous driving.
4) The Distracted/Bad Driver: this driver texts on their phone, changes lanes without signalling, drifts back and forth to the point of crossing the centre line and comes to a dead stop
in the fast lane attempting to turn left across a double-yellow.
The problem with the ‘Hat — from a design perspective — isn’t so much the road, it’s how to keep the various driver-types from crashing into each other. Current thinking among traf c plan-ners designing the south island roads seems to be focussed on one thing only: slow them down.
This is misguided and wrong. And here’s why: traf c needs to get moved. My grandfather (RIP) was a chief of police in the District of Matsqui (now Municipality of Abbotsford). He told me stories of how he’d ride herd on traf c at the Abbotsford Air Show. His direction to all the cops in his detachment working that event: the most important thing was moving that traf c.
That’s stuck with me because it makes com-plete sense. Move. That. Traf c.
I was on the mainland last weekend in a heavy glut of vehicles coming off the ferry. Once we’d cleared the stoplights for the Tsawwassen area, everyone clicked into a groove. The speed limit was 90 km/h and everyone was doing that,
or 100 km/h tops. Everyone maintained completely safe stopping distance between vehicles, and traf c owed like butter.
Contrast that with what happens on the ‘Hat, and it’s like night and day. Yes, it’s a more twisty-turny route that requires your attention. But when one Driver Type 2 or Type 3 (an island exclusive) gets in front, there’s 40 Type 1s in a tight group right behind, heading south. All of them are fuming and waiting for a passing opportunity.
Then that passing opportunity (the four-lane section between Aspen Road and Tunnel Hill soon to be separated with concrete barriers) is denied by overzealous police enforcement. That same police attention should be focussed solely on blatant speeders, and anyone who is imped-ing ow in the fast lane. And that section should be upgraded to 90 km/h.
Our highway isn’t functioning as it should.Farther south, the rst phase of the concrete
barrier work announced by Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom back in March (after
local pressure for action) looks like it’s been completed. Now, instead of being able to pass immediately after the entrance to Goldstream Park, you can’t pass for almost another kilome-tre. On the uphill.
This is a fail of epic proportions. By slowing traf c, and preventing it from moving, traf c con-gestion will simply back-up and further congest the area between Spencer Road and the park.
While I applaud the addition of barriers to prevent lane-crossing head-ons, deliberately constricting the ow of traf c is something I can’t get behind.
For the love of Jeebus, please make that traf c ow.

Former board chairwoman ready to Former board chairwoman ready to run again on her principlesrun again on her principlesDear editor
In his July 19 column, Patrick Hrushowy tells us he would be quite happy to see an end to local school board representation especially since people he disagrees with might inadver-tently be elected. As for the so-called partisan character of our ve trustees, I nd this comical at best. Though I have no formal membership with any party, all people in this country at least for the foreseeable future have every right to be af liated with political parties which represent their views if one actually exists. In fact, most of the individuals who sit in local government positions (and this applies to our school board) do have party or other community connections as they have every right to do. It would seem Mr. Hrushowy only takes issue with these associations if they are contrary to his political beliefs.
If he is so secure in his declaration that no one cares about the removal of legitimately elected people, then he should be the rst one to ask for a byelection to test his theories. I am prepared to stand by the decision of my community in this regard having been elected three times on the same promise of submitting a needs budget. Eden HaythornthwaiteFormer chairwoman, Cowichan Valley School Board
CVRD continually fails to give us CVRD continually fails to give us affordable choicesaffordable choicesDear editor
Perhaps if we, the peasants who pay the bills, were given choices, Kerry Park may have been given the OK to upgrade three years ago. By the same token if taxpayers in North Oyster had been given a choice, maybe we would be looking forward to a new re hall. In one case the arena upgrade was tied to a new pool, in the other, rst a far too expensive hall, then two halls — at just as expensive a price!
In neither case did we have a choice, between A or B, just take it or leave it. Well we left it. As far as I know, both times it was a bureaucrat-driven agenda, not what was wanted by the real bill payers. In the rehall example, a citizen committee studied the case, then apparently, their recommendations were not followed. It seems to me that a referendum costs money. why weren’t there more options given to vote for? For example: new re hall ($1.4 million), two new halls ($2.3 million), or, no new hall.
I can’t help but think our money is being treated like play money. We still need a new hall, but somewhere, someone, decided we should spend more than $2 million dollars, or do without. How much wasted money is there if this is the kind of bottomless pit our pockets are treated like?
We all have heard of the public/private wage/pension comparisons. There has to be a halt to ever-higher taxes. Private sector wages are not keeping pace with either public ones or taxes. If we have to do with less, fair enough, but to keep paying for more and more from the same dollar cannot go on inde nitely.Ken SharpLadysmith
Time for North Cowichan to toss Time for North Cowichan to toss two-tier system off the diving boardtwo-tier system off the diving boardDear editor
The history of North Cowichan politicians has been one of we want it all and we want it now. The long entrenched North Cowichan style has resulted in a long history of wanting it all, but not wanting to pay for it by themselves. The original community centre, the theatre, and now the Aquatic Centre have befallen a similar fate.
I sat on the Kerry Park Board for many years. We once debated and rejected this very two-tier issue. The board wisely recognized that we are one valley and we welcomed the many residents from the Duncan-North Cowichan area into our facility. They came to curl and
they paid the same as anybody else.It is time for the North Cowichan politicians
to quit whining and open their facility to all residents and toss the two-tier fee schedule off the high diving board.Richard Hughes, Cobble Hillcomments submitted online at cowichannewsleader.com

I am delighted to report that we got national and international coverage about the Duncan Daze Supermoto and this has put Duncan on the map like nothing has for many years.
In addition to your great article, we will be in Canadian Biker Magazine’s fall edition, we were on Chek 6 and there were six professional photographers in attendance. The stores that stayed open reported very good days. About 5,000 photos have been uploaded to Facebook with 1,000 comments. This is absolutely as-tonishing for an event that lasted a total of 2½ hours or less.Sharon Jackson, Duncancomments submitted online at cowichannewsleader.com

I am embarrassed to learn the bylaw against urban chickens will remain unchanged. That makes me, the urban front yard chicken farmer on Cairnsmore Street a law breaker.
Until now I have been a peaceful gardener doing what I think is the right thing to do. Now, I am by law a felon. I challenge the people of Duncan to think really hard about who the real outlaws are in this situation.
I try to maintain a neutral and allowing ap-proach to the waking-up process of our popula-tion. Today, I would like to ask every person liv-ing in our tiny one square mile to speak up and be heard. Let’s quit putting energy into the things we won’t allow and start putting it back into things that build community, feed families and facilitate conscious and creative lifestyles.
I challenge the people of Duncan to write about how you don’t want to be seen as the community that couldn’t even get one simple bylaw changed — a bylaw that only came into existence because of our super cial allegiance to the idea that food from supermarkets and green lawns stands for af uence while chickens and gardens lled with food stands for poverty. Who could possibly ad-here to that kind of thinking in the year of 2012?
Wake up and smell the garlic — and the chickens. Grow food, raise chickens and take back your neighborhoods. Demand enlightened leadership. Try to think just a wee little bit outside the box. In case you can’t tell, the box has not served us well.
We have, per capita, more forward, brave, community conscious people than anywhere else in the world. How is it that a survey answered by only 25% of our residents is the numbers used to make laws that inhibit, hinder and restrain a community.
If you continue to adhere to the fear-based thinking and calculated cautions of the folks who like fertilized lawns and white sugar then you are failing at the task of true leadership.
You cannot keep making rules that address the potential of neglect and misconduct. It is like a teacher who would feel justi ed in continually applying rules and punishment and withholding techniques to the entire class just because one or two children misbehave.
If you want a healthy, vibrant community you must empower them with trust and know we can take care of the problems that arise without creating a police state. If my neighbor suddenly isn’t cleaning his chicken coop and it stinks then maybe I need to go over and make sure he is OK. Maybe he needs some help. Maybe he is de-pressed. Take away so many restrictive rules and create an atmosphere of trust and pride. Watch what happens.
Given a chance you will be delighted by the abundance and creativity and purpose that will emerge.
Those who purposefully repress themselves from all aspects of passionate and creative living tend to be the ones who get outraged by it when it’s anywhere in their own vicinity. God help us when these people get elected into positions of power. Nicolette Genier is the co-owner of The Community Farm Store and a front yard farmer on Cairnsmore Street.

Reduced-service Cowichan Independent Living nds a new spaceReduced-service Cowichan Independent Living nds a new space
Cowichan Independent Living has found a new space for its downsized services.
The local non-pro t for people with disabilities has been forced to relocate
and even cancel programs and services due to fund-ing constraints.
As reported previously, the computer lab and
public drop-in space are gone, as are bus tickets, free bread and the Good Food Box Program.
All services are on-hold between July 27 and Aug. 7 while CIL’s disability services relocate to the Pro-fessional Building, 309 - 394 Duncan Street, across Coronation Avenue from the Caprice Theatre.
“This location will offer appointment-only employment, peer support and advocacy services,
as well as some arranged group activities,” a press release says.
“The new location of Medical Loans will open Aug. 7 at 103 - 121 First Street, behind Coffee on the Moon. This location is smaller but should serve the community well with the same range of equip-ment and excellent service we have always offered.”
It was in June that CIL announced it had to
restructure, or close down altogether.After July 27, no CIL services will be offered at
the 321 Coronation Avenue address it currently operates out of.
“We truly hope that this move will allow us to be more sustainable and to ensure we are able to provide services for many years to come.”
— Krista Siefken

Historic kayak odyssey docked by electronics glitchesHistoric kayak odyssey docked by electronics glitchesPeter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial
Kayak-explorer Wave Vidmar’s scienti c odyssey to Hawaii has been docked by technical glitches.
But Wave will set sail once electronic xes are found to his navigation and
communication gear, said Nick Horscroft of Che-mainus’ Seaward Kayaks that adapted a Pasat G-3 double craft for Wave’s needs.
“He’s had a helluva time. Wave hopes to leave next week,” Horscroft said of the epic 2012 Seaward Paci c Expedition that was charted to start in late June.
The trip see Wave paddle 3,100-odd potentially risky miles to Hawaii, doing scienti c tests plotting pollution, personal health, wildlife, weather and more to share with the world.
‘”It’s not uncommon for expeditions to be late like this; safety comes rst,” stressed Horscroft.
Once Wave leaves ‘Frisco, the News Leader Picto-rial will publish a site for following his expedition.
Peter W. Rusland/ leWave Vidmar’s Seaward Paci c Expedition is stalled by electronic snags with navigational and communication gear. He hopes to start paddling to Hawaii next week.
Grant could improve SaywellGrant could improve SaywellCowichan Lake has its fi ngers crossed for a good
news announcement next month.If it is what the community hopes, it could mean
jobs and a series of new community amenities.Key to the proposal is a potential grant from Min-
istry of Social Development to the Cowichan Lake Outdoor Education Centre.
If funneled to CLEC’s job creation program, it would result in $169,041 worth of projects, includ-ing the restoration of the 1918 CNR box car at the Kaatza Station Museum, and construction of a viewing platform, a public swimming and observa-tion deck, picnic tables and public washrooms at Saywell Park.
“After all the discussions we’ve had, and all the confi rmation and things like that, the grant applica-tions got in, but it’s a fairly quick turnover on this now,” CLEC manager Dalton Smith said.
“We’ll know by the twentieth of August I think. Our start-up date is Sept. 11.”
Six employees would be hired for the project through Community Services or Global Vocational Services, on top of project management and a foreman hired to oversee the physical construction.

For all intents and purposes, the Cowichan Valley Re-gional District is powerless to deal with contaminated soil treatment operations
within its boundaries.Directors want that to change.In the wake of the recent 4 1/2-
hour public meeting in relation to the controversial South Island Aggregate proposal in Shawnigan Lake, the board announced its intention to get that process underway Aug. 1.
“The Cowichan Valley Regional
District is going to be debating mo-tions in the coming weeks that could bring greater focus to its efforts to gain a measure of control over the movement and dumping of soils —
contaminated and otherwise — in the regional district”, a statement released July 19 states.
That same release states Shawni-gan Lake Director Bruce Fraser will
introduce a motion Aug. 1 that will deal with the appropriateness of allowing treatment of contaminated soil in a watershed that provides area residents with potable water.
Fraser said this concern covers all watersheds where communities take domestic water supplies but he is giving his immediate attention to the SIA application for a waste-dis-charge permit as part of a reclama-tion proposal for the Stebbings Road quarry.
“This is a serious issue and we wish to continue to work with the Minister of Environment and the ministry staff in a collaborative man-ner to consider how the CVRD by-laws and the provincial contaminated soil regulations can be harmonized to prevent future risks to major commu-nity domestic water supplies,” Fraser said in the statement.
Wording of the motion has not been released. Neither has the CVRD’s plan to give it any teeth.
Krista Siefken/ leCVRD chairman Rob Hutchins speaks during a recent 4.5-hour meeting to discuss the SIA proposal to bury contaminated soil in Shawnigan Lake.

But arts impresario, Longevity John Falkner, was skeptical.
“The CVRD’s been trying to do this for years so they can have an arts and cultural policy. It greases palms all along the line except the artists’ — how many cents on the dollar will get to the artists?”
Schrader said regional grants could be applied for by local arts and heritage groups, and individuals, through a peer-review com-mittee.
“Even $2 a head for year, or $1 per $100,000 of assessed home value would be a lot of money,” she said of a CVRD function that could go to referendum.
“It’s not fl eecing taxpayers, it’s the price of a Starbucks coffee once a year, but we need to register all the (survey) information.”

Cowichan gets on the bus in increasing numbersCowichan gets on the bus in increasing numbersPeter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial
A new bus route in Eagle Heights, schedule tweaks, bus shelters, and more service hours have helped boost Cowichan transit ridership by about 14% since last year.
“B.C. Transit and the Cowichan Valley Region-al District are delighted to announce ridership on the conventional service is on the rise – up 13.8% over last year,” transit brass say in a release.
Transit’s annual report congratulates Cowichan as a market leader in rides, with 362,389 in 2011/12 versus 318,506 in 2010/11.
The Cowichan Valley Commuter service to Victoria is also up 29%, with 79,807 trips in 2011/12 compared to 62,119 counted the previ-ous year.
“With the addition of 2,000 service hours in May 2011, and 2,500 more service hours in February, B.C. Transit is responding to the grow-
ing need for transit in the Cowichan Valley,” staff say.
A new service was started with route ve in
Eagle Heights, schedule improvements were made to various routes, more trips have been added, and service hours have been extended on many routes too.
“The installation of 27 bus shelters may have also contributed to the increase in ridership,” staff say.
“The Cowichan Valley is a dynamic transit district,” said CEO Manuel Achadinha. “By adding service hours and extra runs on our most populated routes, B.C. Transit is working hard to be customer-friendly and convenient for the local community.”
“I am very pleased that ridership has in-creased so signi cantly. Cowichan residents have responded to taxpayer investments in the Cowichan Valley Transit by choosing a reliable, safe, green and affordable transportation option,” said Ian Morrison, CVRD transit committee chairman.
For information on routes, schedules and fares, call CVRD Transit at 250-746.9899 or visit bctransit.com.
Andrew Leong/ leB.C. Transit reports Cowichan Valley ridership is up by some 14% as residents go green with route changes and more ne tuning.

Poet connects teens and seniors Poet connects teens and seniors through ongoing Elder Projectthrough ongoing Elder ProjectPirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror
She is known as the “poet of the skies,” the instigator of random acts of poetry and the heart behind the Elder Project.
Wendy Morton says she has gotten an education from First Nations people.
As the catalyst for the Elder Project, she has listened to the stories shared between elders and the younger generation. Some are joyous, others are sad and all are a truth spoken in the form of poetry.
It all began while Morton was on a ight and her seatmate Barb Stoochnoff, a teacher at Chemai-nus Secondary School, began talking. Morton said she was a poet and wanted to turn students into poets.
That’s how it all began. She met Denise Augustine, Cowichan’s coordinator for Aboriginal education, who shared her vision of a book of poems created by the students from the stories told by their elders.
Enter Kim Fenner at Coast Capital Sav-ings and a corporate donation to the project. Coast Capital Savings and the Toronto Dominion Bank were instrumental in mak-ing the ongoing project possible.
This project expanded to include First Na-tions students across the province, resulting in half a dozen booklets with First Nations art on the covers and in the pages, along with photos and of course, the poems.
“They are songs of hope,” said Morton. “Generally even the darkest ones are hope-ful.”
Many of the poems are the result of stories which had not been told, perhaps because of the shame attached or the need to forget, said Morton.
“One of the things I can do as a poet is train these kids,” she said. “This whole thing is about engendering pride. Once they
have that they can do just about anything.”
Some of the First Nations kids she works with are struggling to nd themselves.She said that if these kids can
get out of the traps which keep them from being whole people, the world is open to them.
“They are accomplished, smart and capable, they have a resourcefulness I wish I had.”
The closeness and pride shared by the kids and the elders is evident, especially at the launch of each of the books. This makes Morton very proud and very humble.
“I have a skill set to pass on and it seems to me that it is going to be my path.”
“I want to keep doing this as long as I can keep doing it, I have the energy and the capability.”
Morton, who lives west of Sooke, is the recipient of a number of awards for her poetry, including the inaugural Spirit Bear Prize, Golden Beret Award and most recently the Colleeen Thibaudeau Outstand-ing Contribution Award. She has written four books of poetry and one memoir.

ATCHESON, William Hamilton
April 12, 1914 - July 17, 2012
A hard-working, loving, family man has passed on to his well-deserved rest at age 98.Bill was born in Boissevain, Manitoba to William Wallace Atcheson and Ida Galau. He was the third of 10 children. He was pre-deceased by 3 brothers and 5 sisters, and is survived by his sister Marie Thompson.
His wife of 62 years, Marion, predeceased him in 2002. Together they raised 6 children, and enjoyed numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. He leaves behind his grieving children, Joyce Schmidt, Vivienne Renner, Lorainne (Brian) Hamilton, Larry (Judy) Atcheson, Billie (Andy) Phillips and Ron (Val) Atcheson. Also mourning his passing are his grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Kurt (Laurie) Schmidt (Spencer [Aubrey], Dallin, Kevin, Krista & Parker); Kathy East (Brandon, Jennifer & Walter); Noreen (Don) Weisner; Corinne (Jim) Lyle (Ray & Billie); Gail (Don) Maddalozzo (Maria & Clinton); Dale (Glenda) Atcheson (Tyler, Jordan & Curtis); Paul Atcheson (Jamie, Craig, Kyla & Lucas); Nicki (Allan) Waters; Steve (Danielle) Phillips (Cory & Karah); Laura Atcheson (Alyssa); and Brian Atcheson.
Bill homesteaded with his parents in Saskatchewan until marrying Marion and moving out to Vancouver Island in 1940. He signed up for service during the Second World War, even though he had two daughters and was therefore exempt from the draft. He was posted as an orderly at the 22nd Royal Canadian Hospital in England.
On his return, he worked at the Youbou sawmill, then became a logger for Mayo Lumber. He later worked at the Cowichan Creamery/Co-op until his retirement.
He and Marion were charter members of the Vimy Western Riding Club. They also belonged to the Moose Lodge in Duncan. He was a member of the CreeksideOAPO, where he enjoyed morning coffee and a game of pool. He was also a longtime member of the Royal Canadian Legion.
Bill’s particular passion was for horses, but he enjoyed all aspects of farming. With the help of his small farm on Menzies Road in Duncan, where the family lived from 1950 to 1970, there was always meat on the table. After his retirement in 1970 they moved to Lumby, where he raised sheep. They then moved to Armstrong in 1973, where he continued to hobby farm. They moved to Chase in 1990. As he gradually downsized he took up raising budgies and cockatiels as a hobby.
Bill became a familiar sight on the streets of Chase as he walked almost every day, winter and summer, up until 2 weeks before his passing, to the Post Offi ce and to the Chase Cafe or Craig’s Bakery. He was gratifi ed by the recognition he received on his 98th birthday.
Although we grieve for Dad, we know that he led a good, long life, and we can ask for nothing more.
A Celebration of Life will take place on Wednesday, August 1st at 1:00 pm at the Chase Community Hall, Chase, B.C.
Ogden, Anne Bernadette (nee Kenny)It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of my beloved Mother on July 15th 2012. She passed peacefully in her sleep into the arms of Our Lord. Like releasing a songbird, your freedom brings solace to those of us who grieve. Mom was born in Blackburn Lancs, England in 1929 and immigrated in 1953 to Canada with my late Father Roy Douglas Ogden. Although she missed England, she loved Canada with all her heart and in particular, the Island, where she lived in Chemainus and Duncan for over 30 years. We would like to thank the Staff at Menno Home Abbotsford for all the love and care they gave to my Mother in her fi nal years.Mourned by Son Mark, Daughter-in-law Dawn, & Grandchildren Erika and Nikolas. She leaves behind a large and loving family in Wigan, Lancs England.
Will ye no’ come back again?Will ye no’ come back again?
Better loved ye canna be...Will ye no’ come back again?

Cowichan Thunder goes quiet in nalCowichan Thunder goes quiet in nal
Don BodgerNews Leader Pictorial
It was a an emotional peak Cowichan’s Jr. B Thunder just couldn’t repeat.
After knocking off regular-season champion Westshore in
stunning fashion earlier this month, the team dropped the best-of-three Paci c Northwest Junior B Lacrosse League’s nal playoff series in three straight games.
The series closed Tuesday as the Saanich Tigers beat Cowichan 13-10 in Sidney.
Coach Josh Van Wieren said after the high of beating Westshore in the rst round, and an emotionally devastating loss in game one of the nal, the team simply didn’t have
anything left in the tank to come back from an 0-2 series de cit. Too many momentum-killing penalties played a major factor.
“We started pretty good, but Saan-ich, all in all, played a better game,” he said.
That may not have been the case earlier.
The coach arrived late to the rst game Saturday due to traf c conges-tion, with starting goalie T.J. Prokop in the car with him.
By the time they arrived, Saanich was leading 5-0. Derek Anderson, who was pegged as the team’s starter this season but ran into injury trouble and is still not 100 per cent, did his best to hold off the Saanich onslaught.
It may have seemed like a hopeless situation, but the Thunder showed its true character.
“We came back and made a game of it, for sure,’’ said Van Wieren.
In fact, Cowichan tied it 8-8 by the end of regulation time but received an unfortunate four-minute penalty in the 10-minute overtime, gave up two goals and lost 10-8.
“It was our game to win it,’’ said Van Wieren. “We had all the mo-mentum.’’
The offence was spread throughout the Thunder lineup, with Saanich keying on scoring sniper Stephen Harris, but only marginally limiting his effectiveness.
“You want everybody to be able to contribute,’’ said Van Wieren. “It took an entire team to come back like they did. To fall short was disheartening.’’
Sunday’s game at Bear Mountain ended in a 12-7 loss.
“We kind of stopped doing things that worked for us,’’ said Van Wi-eren. “Once they scored a couple, we got into penalty trouble.’’
It was disappointing after what the Thunder showed in the previous
series by upsetting rst-place West-shore, the hosts of the provincial championships.
Cowichan swept its best-of-three from Westshore 10-9 and 10-8 in overtime.
Van Weiren said it took awhile to form a team out of a group ranging in age from 16 to 21. But the kids eventually stepped up as veterans took charge.
“I’m super proud of the boys,” he said. “If you would have told me we were going to be in the second round at the beginning of the season, I kind of would have had a chuckle about that.”

The mind is still willing and the body is still able.
Valley triathlete extraordinaire Jason Sandquist entered the
Ironman 70.3 World Champion-ship quali er race at Lake Stevens, Washington, with every intention of reaching the pinnacle in his sport. And that’s exactly what happened.
There were two qualifying spots allotted per age group and Sandquist placed second in the 40 to 44 men’s division out of 170 registered. He will now prepare for the Ironman
World Championship race in Las Vegas on Sept. 9.
“My body is still able to put in a good performance when I need to,’’ conceded Sandquist.
In early May, he raced Ironman at St. George, Utah and also quali ed for the Hawaiian Ironman World Championships, but Sandquist decided to pass on his slot to try for a position in the event this year at Las Vegas.
“Mission accomplished,’’ he indicated.

A week full of new faces for the Cowichan Valley Capitals continued with a young man they are calling a proven winner.
Just a few months after an RBC Cup championship with the Pen-ticton Vees, gritty forward Grant Nicholson is now a Cap.
The trade was a small part in a blockbuster trade announced Tues-day that may have been the league’s most complicated. It centred in Penticton and involved eight players, six teams and three leagues.
When the dust settled former Trail Smoke Eater Sam Mellor and ex-Markham Waxer defenceman Rob Mann were Vees, defenceman DJ Jones exited Penticton to become a Victoria Grizzly, former Nanaimo Clipper defenceman Ryan Wells and Victoria goalie Curtis Martinu be-came property of the Ontario-based Waxers, and former Cap property Djordje Leposavic was headed to the Trail Smoke Eaters along with Alex Holland, who started the day in Victoria.
The Caps described Nicholson as a 1993-born hardworking, shut down forward who prides himself on doing anything to help a team win.
“Grant brings us a solid skill set and championship experience that combined with his off-ice commit-ment will make him a welcome addition to the Capitals organiza-tion,” Capitals coach and GM Jim Ingram said.
Leposavic never saw Caps blue and red, posting nine goals, 23 as-sists and 54 penalty minutes in 48 games last year with the North Bay Trappers.
The move comes on the heels of Monday’s Cowichan acquisitions of puck-moving defencemen Tyler
Mueller and Corey ScammonNicholson had 14 points in 59
regular season games and played in all post season games for the 2012 RBC Champion Penticton Vees and was recipient of the Vees humanitar-ian award for his work outside the rink.
The deal allowed the defending champs to reload with a pair of 20-year-olds.
Mann is a 6’4” defenceman who registered 30 points in 40 games in Ontario, while Mellor returns to BCHL after a pedestrian season of college hockey in Alaska-Anchor-age. But the previous two years he ripped the league for 61 goals and 130 points in 104 games in Trail.

Shawnigan skier proves he was good enough after allShawnigan skier proves he was good enough after all
Maeve MaguireNews Leader Pictorial
Desman Perry gets a thrill out of weav-ing between obstacles at 34 mph on one ski while being towed behind a power boat in front of a crowd.
Perry is equally thrilled about win-ning two gold medals and one silver medal at the B.C. Summer Games last weekend in Abbotsford for two reasons: he got a personal best, and he didn’t make the team.
When the towed water sports team selections were made, Perry’s name wasn’t on the list. He wasn’t selected because he hadn’t earned enough points throughout the year as compared with those who did make the cut.
Perry, who, after only two years of training in the sport, won two gold medals at the 2010 Water Ski Provincial Championships and Most Improved Male Water Ski at the 2011 Water Ski & Wake-board Awards, was surprised he wasn’t going to the games, as were his parents.
“We were kind of shocked he wasn’t picked for the team but we understand they can only pick so many kids,” said Lisa Perry, Desman’s mother. When they learned Desman could represent another region as a wild card, Lisa said, “We were thrilled. He was just happy to be going to the games.”
The B.C. Games organizers let athletes enter the games as wild cards when a region doesn’t have enough athletes to ll their quota. If the athlete
wins a medal, the points are allocated to the guest region.
Perry entered the games as a wild card for an-other region (he doesn’t know which) and earned that region 29 points for his gold medal in slalom, another gold medal in trick skiing, and a silver medal in the jumping event.
Desman gets his medals, the region gets the points and Vancouver Island region gets nothing. Which might not seem like a big deal, except when the difference between rst and second place in the overall medal standings is one point, as was the case this year. Fraser Valley beat Vancouver Island by one point.
All that is irrelevant to Desman, who enjoyed being at the games as much, if not more, than the competition.
“I found half the time you weren’t even thinking about the skiing. I was just having a good time with friends.”
Desman, who is humble in his victory, said it could have been any one of his competitors at the top of the podium.
“All my competition and me are pretty much the same level so it’s always back and forth.”
Dwayne Perry, Desman’s father, is impressed by how easily his son took to the sport.
“He practises hard. His heart’s in it. He’s gifted, that’s what it is. He’s one of those kids who picks up a golf club and the ball goes straight.”
Dwayne also recognizes that good talent is rewarded only with great support.
“He gets a lot of coaching too. He’s had a lot of help from Cory Bate and others to get his tech-nique right.”
Perry’s was just one local watersport highlight for local wake skimmers.
Jed Leech, a 16-year-old from Cobble Hill is Canada’s top-ranked water-ski jumper in his age group, posted a winning jump of 137 feet, just shy
of his personal best of 141 feet.He went three-for-three in the water-ski events,
also winning gold in the slalom and tricks compe-titions on Saturday.
Ben Leech, Jed’s younger brother, completed
a family sweep in the jumps, winning the boys 2 division with a distance of 77 feet. Silver and bronze medalists were Perry and Jake Metcalfe of Cobble Hill.

NOTICE OF TEMPORARY USE PERMIT APPLICATION
APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY USE PERMIT Applicable to Electoral Area A – Mill Bay/Malahat
Public Notice is hereby given of Temporary Use Permit Application No. 1-A-11TUP which proposes to permit rock processing on 8.0 hectares of the lands shown outlined on the map below legally described as District Lot 72, Malahat District, except those parts in Plans 518RW and 49974 and VIP86314.
Malahat Holdings Ltd. has applied to obtain a Temporary Use Permit for a three year period to allow rock processing on 8.0 hectares of the 45 hectare subject property located on the east side of the Trans Canada Highway. The processed rock will primarily be used for road construction, infrastructure and lot development on adjacent land north of the site.
Primary access to the site will be from the Trans Canada Highway, which is located along the property’s western boundary. The property is serviced internally by existing gravel logging roads. The existing access to the site from the Trans Canada Highway must be gated and locked when the site is not being utilized. The hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with no quarry operations occurring on Saturdays or Sundays. No permanent buildings or structures associated with this operation will be constructed onsite.
Visual impacts and noise stemming from the operation will be reduced through the use of a vegetated buffer/barrier and stockpiles of materials. Water will be sprayed regularly on access roads to minimize dust impacts. When the operation is complete the rock quarry will be covered with clean ll and seeded with grass. The approximate 500 metre by 200 metre vegetated buffer along the western boundary of the property will be retained as a condition of the temporary use permit. Onsite storage of explosives, fuels, lubricants or other dangerous or hazardous materials is prohibited.
Should you believe your interests to be affected by the Temporary Use Permit, you may submit your comments in writing to the CVRD Planning and Development Of ce, at 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC from Friday, July 20, 2012, to Wednesday, August 1, 2012 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Any comments received by this time will be considered by the Regional Board at the August 1, 2012 Board meeting when the resolution to issue the temporary use permit will be considered by the Regional Board.
A copy of the Temporary Use Permit application and relevant support material may be examined at the CVRD Planning and Development Of ce, at 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC from Friday, July 20, 2012, to Wednesday, August 1, 2012 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Cowichan-Jamaican connection set to harvest some ne reggaeCowichan-Jamaican connection set to harvest some ne reggaeJamaica comes to Cowichan Friday with
the biggest collection of reggae the valley has seen in a decade — if not ever.
The Island Reggae Fest debuts July 27 at the Eagles Hall with a line-up of artists
promoters say would be the envy of any big city.Brought to the island by Kady “the Zion Bell”
and his company One Love Canada Entertain-ment, the roster includes artists such as Hawkeye and Bryan Art.
Kady has been a constant player on the West Coast reggae scene since moving to Vancou-ver from Montreal in 2000. When asked to put together a festival line-up for Vancouver this year, he decided to share the creative wealth and plan a mini-tour that includes Duncan and Salt Spring Island.
“I’m talking international stars, so it’s a big thing. And they all agreed to come and do these smaller shows, which is rare,” Kady said.
As Zion Bell, Kady plays drums, guitar, bass and piano, does vocals, and writes all his own music and lyrics. He can therefore speak from the musician’s perspective when he says the festival is “by artists, for artists.”
The bill includes six full hours of music per-formed by 10 different acts.
“I’m a reggae artist. All I want to see is that love vibe that reggae brings,” he said.
Hawkeye and Brian Art will share the headline honours with back-up from Natural Flavas.
Hawkeye has some 20 years in the dance hall under his belt, and is mixing that experience into the roots scene for a hot new hybrid sound. He’s topped the charts in the Caribbean and the U.K., collaborated with A Tribe Called Quest, and toured festivals across North America and Eu-rope. Hawkeye is known for his signature growl, witty lyrics and charismatic presence on stage.
Kady promised the opening acts will get the audience sweating right off the bat. Performances by a surprise headliner, King Shadrock, Mr. Met-
ro, Fredlocks and more will bring different music avours in rotation through the night, including
a taste of dub plate, the sound that’s currently all the rage in Jamaica.
The all-ages event is planned to be kid and fam-ily friendly, with extra security touring the hall grounds to discourage partying and keep things safe.
“We want to grow it from within the communi-ty,” Kady said. “If we come back every year with this big of a lineup, it’s going to grow for sure.”

A y on the wall at the July 13, 1959 Duncan city council meeting 1959 would have heard the following items:
Cowichan Construction Co. was awarded a city contract to rebuild the Hospital Hill sidewalk with
their bid of $3,807. Council renewed its contract with the RCMP at a cost of $10,527 for 1959/60 for the services of three members of Duncan detachment. In addition, the city would pay nine cents per mile above annual mileage of 3,100 and $725 as its share of of ce and accommodation expenses. The city would also pay half the cost of a police stenographer they shared with North Cowichan.
Approval was given for a small subdivision on two lots of corner property at Trunk Road and Campbell Street owned by Mr. and Mrs. John Wingert. Cowichan Creamery Association won ap-proval for a concrete-block structure for a new poultry processing plant on its property on Queens Road. Council granted $200 to Duncan-Cowichan Chamber of Commerce toward a new printed brochure of the district.
To nish, council authorized a half-day holiday for its employ-ees to commemorate the upcoming visit of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip on Thursday of that week.

Full-plate of rocking now greener and cleanerFull-plate of rocking now greener and cleaner
Krista SiefkenNews Leader Pictorial
Rock of the Woods will be even greener and cleaner this year, but it de nitely won’t be leaner.
Cowichan’s second-annual rock festival has expanded to
three days from two at its new Glenora Farm location, and is boosting both the number of bands and tickets.
And the line-up includes acts like Vince Vaccaro, Rococode, Acres of Lions and Pickwick.
“Glenora Farm lends a hand to growing the festival to a larger size,” ROTW orga-nizer Dave Bains said.
He explained that at last year’s Bamberton site, crowds were limited to 500 people.
“And we’re actually in the woods this year,” Bains added. “We were in and out of them last year.”
So there will be more music, and more trees, but also less trash this year.
“Glenora Farm’s mandate is essentially the same as ours,” Bains said. “Respect where you’re coming from, and how you’re affect-
ing the land.“We’ve always tried
to be as environmental-ly friendly as possible, which is much harder than it sounds.”
No waste will be brought onto the site, Bains said, only compostable products. There’ll be a free water program for those who bring their own water canteen, and all beer
sold in the beer garden will be in cans.He also promises more food options avail-
able on-site this year, and activities such as beach volleyball and yoga.
But the main event, of course, is the music.“We had more than 400 applicants this
year to play the festival, so it was kind
of picking and choosing a lot more than anything,” Bains said, citing Pickwick as a personal favourite. “I think we are very, very lucky to have them for Rock of the Woods.”
There are approximately 30 acts perform-ing between Friday and Sunday, and many of them have Cowichan connections.
“We’ll also see some collaborations with musicians from around Canada playing on stage with one another, and that’ll be pretty
interesting,” Bains said. “Saturday is going to be amazing — that’s the big day of the festival — but we’ve added Sunday with a line-down acoustic day and I think we’ll see a lot fun happening around that.”
Bains says he’s most excited about, though, about the festival-goers themselves.
“Last year we had such a positive reac-tion, just with how the attendees treated everything around them, and reacted to the
festival itself,” he said. “That, for me, is why I continue the project.”

The beat goes on in Chemainus.ArtBeat, the Friday evening interactive
artwalk and street party that dancing into mural town in June continues tonight and every Friday.
According to organizers, the event has proven to be a real crowd pleaser since it launched on June 22.
In sunshine and even drizzle, the enthu-siastic crowds have enjoyed the eclectic mix of visual and performing arts from the region, they said in a media release.
The beat for Aug. 3 will be created by West African dancer Lynn Weaver and musi-cal group Dave Young & Friends.
Later in the month, look for the accordion
group the Gypsy Belles, local up-and-coming singer Evan Miller, Johanna Knight and Friends, and the Saidi Sisters of D’Nile, a gypsy/middle eastern dance troupe led by Deb Shields.

Unknown Miner mural offers sounds and imagesUnknown Miner mural offers sounds and images
Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial
A vein of mining history at Mount Sicker’s Lenora Mine was artistically exposed last month in Chemainus’ newest mural The Unknown Miner.
Local artist and carver Terry Chapman com-pleted the six- by eight-foot 3-D masterpiece on Mural Town’s Silver Mine On Chemainus jewel-ry shop and co-owner Barbara Bond is beaming, but still curious about the miner’s identifty.
“I’d love for people to shed more light on who it is. If we can validate that somehow, they can have a $100 gift certi cate at our store,” said Bond, who commissioned Chapman’s piece
illustrating a dirt-face digger at Lenora.Checking the hard-working guy at Silver Mine
is brought to life by mining sounds piped outside.“People just love it,” Bond said of Chemanus’
mural No. 44.It complements mural No. 22 Lenora Mines At
Mt. Sicker lending intended historical signi -cance of displaying Chemainus’ history on vari-
ous downtown walls.“Cim MacDonald’s responsible for the story
of the mine, and came up with the photo used,” Bond said of the local artist and photographer.
“She walked us through the process.”A nal step sees Unknown Miner added to an
updated Chemainus Mural Book due this year, Bond said.
Tom Andrews, of the town’s Festival of Murals Society, was tickled by the miner mural.
It’ll be of cially unveiled in September during the town’s Congress on Economic Development Through the Arts and culture, in tandem with the Global Mural Conference.
“The FOM thought it was appropriate as it ts into the historical series relating to Chemainus and the Chemainus Valley, and it worked well for her store.
“Barbara proposed the mural to us and we ap-proved the concept. she hired the carver. We like the 3-D aspect and it has sound effects.
“It cover all the visuals and aural aspect. It’s a total experience walking by it.”
