Wednesday, July 17, 2013 Cowichan News Leader Pictorial A3

Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial

A Duncan woman is homeless, but has a renewed perspective on life in the wake of a July 11 � re.

Lawyer Alix Reid was at work when � re ripped through her

North Cowichan home on Molly Avenue in a spectacular afternoon blaze.

But in a letter to the News Leader Pictorial, Reid talked not about her loss, but about what was saved and the people who stepped up to make a bad situation better.

“I understand the sanitation worker noticed smoke coming from my garage and sounded the alarm, and that he then kicked open my dead-bolted front door so my neighbour, Ken Stubbs, could get inside, and run upstairs to rescue my two dogs,” she writes.

“I owe a huge debt of gratitude to both of

them. My dogs were the two most precious things in my house that day. My two cats, who both must have been outside, also survived: one returned the night of the � re and the other on Saturday morning. Thank-you to everyone who kept an eye out for the second one.

“Once I had her back the � re that could have been a tragedy turned into just a major inconvenience.”

North Cowichan south-end � re hall Capt. Brad Coleman says it is suspected the � re started in the garage of the split-level home, then spread but the � re wall prevented a total loss.

Despite water damage, there are salvageable belongings in the living room and elsewhere in the home that sustained extensive damage, he explained.

There was no damage to nearby properties, Coleman noted.

Reid said once the damage is cleared, she intends to return to the neighbourhood.

“Many, many thanks to all the volunteer � re� ghters who responded to the call, espe-cially for protecting my neighbours’ houses when the � re threatened to spread beyond mine. To all my neighbours, thank-you for your kind words and support, and to the children of Molly Avenue, my apologies that you had to go through such a frightening afternoon,” she writes.

“Davey and Brodie are going to miss your pats and ear scratches while we are temporar-ily displaced, but we will be back.

“Fire exposes your priorities and reminds you that lives are irreplaceable and stuff is just stuff.”

An investigation by North Cowichan’s as-sistant to the � re commissioner, Rob Clark was ongoing. He had not returned calls by press time.

Firefi ghter Adam Macrae

was part of the North Co-wichan South End fi re crew

that responded to a house

fi re on Molly Avenue, off of Gibbins Road,

on Thursday July 11.

It’s business as usual at Duncan Mall and Duncan Plaza amid re� nancing and foreclosure action against some of the complex’s owners.

“The mortgage is current, and there’s no impact on tenants, or effects on retail stores,” Adam Gant, CEO of Victoria-based League Assets, said Tuesday.

July 8 saw Duncan court foreclosure action, concerning TCC (Trez) Mortgage Holdings Inc.’s $18-million mortgage to a group of borrowing � rms.

Those borrowers now have a six-month redemp-tion period, expiring Jan. 10, 2014, for repaying $17.148 million.

“In two or three months, we’re hoping to get re� -nancing completed with a couple of lenders,” Gant told the News Leader Pictorial.

The group’s � rst mortgage, secured by leasehold properties at 250 and 380 Trunk Rd., happened in November 2010. The 19.8-acre site is owned by Cowichan Tribes.

It comprises the Duncan Mall building, the Dun-can Plaza strip mall along Trunk, the former Roger’s Video building (now Aaron’s Sales & Lease), plus Real Canadian Superstore and Tim Hortons land-lease pads.

TCC’s borrowers include 0811883 BC Ltd. as general partner of Duncan City Centre Limited Partnership, and Duncan City Centre GP Inc. as general partner of the Redux Duncan Centre Lim-ited Partnership, court documents show.

Guarantors include Gant, Emanuel Arruda, and IGW Reit GP Inc.

Spokespeople for TCC were unavailable for com-ment by press time.

The loan was for � rst-mortgage � nancing to help the borrowers repay an existing Kingsett 1st Mortgage, repay investor notes, and fund tenant up-grades, leasing commissions, and other leasing bills.

Gant said TCC took the recent legal route as “completion of all (mall-complex upgades, bill payments) components took longer than expected, and people get impatient.”

Paying legal costs is cheaper than paying more interest fees “to get more patience time from Trez,” he noted.

Alleged Moorfi eld stalker pleads not-guilty to criminal harrassment chargesGot a comment or a story?email [email protected]

phone 250-746-4471 A Duncan man has pleaded not guilty to two charges of criminal harassment in connection with incidents where women were followed in the Moorfi eld Road area in April.

Kamal Bhoondpaul appeared in Duncan Provincial Court Tuesday, pleading not guilty

to a pair of counts of criminal harassment.He’s set to reappear in court Aug. 23 to

fi x a date for trial.This spring, RCMP sent out a press-

release warning folks of a series of nighttime incidents, whereby women were approached or followed by a male.

Shortly after, a man was arrested in relation to the incidents that were “cause for concern.”

“He was released on strict conditions, in-cluding a curfew,” an RCMP press release said at the time.

Peter W. Rusland News Leader Pictorial

A Lake Cowichan man convicted of money laundering — after tossing US $2.6 million overboard as

Mounties intercepted his boat off Sidney — must forfeit the cash, and serve three years in jail.

Jeffrey Melchior was not in custody while awaiting Thursday’s sentencing in Victoria provincial court, presided by Judge Ernie Quantz.

Melchior was convicted May 2 of money laundering, and possession of property obtained by crime, Crown spokeswoman Sujata Raisinghani said in an email to the News Leader Pictorial. It was unknown if he will appeal, nor where he’ll serve his sentence.

He declined to address the court where Crown counsel Sharon Steele sought forfeiture of the funds, plus five years in prison.

His defence lawyer, Mark Jette, took no position on the cash sur-rendering, but suggested 18 to 30 months jail time.

Melchior’s sentencing follows Hollywood-like high jinks.

November 2011 saw the tight-

est police security ever seen at RCMP headquarters in Victoria as Mounties announced they’d landed more than US $2.6 million in one of Canada’s largest seizures of laundered loot.

RCMP Supt. Derek Simmonds, of B.C.’s federal Border Integrity Program, said the money was fished from waters near Sidney during Melchior’s arrest on March 25, 2011.

That nighttime haul happened after the pilot of a suspicious, fast-moving boat — without running lights — tossed a suitcase over-board as an RCMP patrol boat was about to stop it.

After recovering the suitcase, police arrested Melchior, then 44.

He was charged with possession of property obtained by crime and laundering proceeds of crime. The recovered bundles of bills were wrapped in plastic.

Melchior offered two explana-tions when he was stopped: first, that he was scouting dive sites; then that he was on his way to meet a woman, but Judge Quantz said criminal activity was the logi-cal explanation.

In April, Quantz issued a 24-page decision on matters of evidence. Text messages recovered from Melchior’s mobile device

recounted a conversation between him and someone in the U.S. expressing concern about “bikes” and “birds” – possibly referring to coast guard boats and helicopters, the Times Colonist reported.

Simmonds said the five-metre, rigid-hull, inflatable boat was just two nautical miles — six minutes — away from the U.S. border when RCMP intercepted it. Melchior was unarmed, unknown to police, and was the only person aboard.

If it hadn’t been for Melchior allegedly moving at high speed to-ward the international border, on a route known to smugglers, the RCMP’s border-integrity opera-tions centre might have missed his boat, Simmonds said.

The centre relayed the suspicious information to an RCMP marine patrol, he said, then it cut off Mel-chior’s craft before it reached the border. There was no high-speed pursuit.

Simmonds said moving currency or contraband in large sums, such as the soggy cash recovered, is a common identifier for organized-crime activity.

It was expected the $2.6 million will go to the federal government’s general revenues, Simmonds said.

MS athlete planning weekend Cowichan Lake swimLindsay Chung News Leader Pictorial

Susan Simmons, a Victoria woman who has multiple sclerosis, will attempt to swim the length of Cowichan Lake Saturday,

July 20 in the hope that she will inspire others with the disease to swim to stay healthy.

Simmons will be joined by friend Alex Cape, and the pair will leave Heather Campground at 6 a.m. and swim unassisted with no wet-

suit or swim aids until they reach Lakeview Park in Lake Cowichan. They expect the 34-kilometre jour-ney to take 10 to 11 hours.

The swimmers have charted a course up the south side of the lake until they reach Gordon Bay at approximately 1 p.m. They will then cross the lake and swim on the north side of the south arm close to the shoreline, hoping to find some protection from expected strong winds.

The two swimmers will be escorted by friends and family in

kayaks and power boats, which will provide both safe passage and emergency rapid transportation if needed. Family and friends will be hosting a get-together for them at the finish line. The Town of Lake Cowichan is graciously allowing the pair to finish and celebrate at the municipal beach.

Simmons, 48, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis close to 20 years ago.

To learn more, read Simmons’ blog at http://msathlete.wordpress.com.

So this is life after kids:

When it’s a big win both mom and dad stayed awake through an entire movie and when typical

spats have evolved from, “Who was that guy talking to you at the bar?” to “It’s your turn to unload the dishwasher, I did last night.”

There’s no doubt children can take a toll on a couple’s relation-ship.

Proof is in the recent hit-movie This Is 40.

The � lm follows the lives of middle-age married couple Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) as they each turn 40, with their jobs and daughters adding stress to their relationship.

The Islands Folk Fes-tival is a feeling, not just a musical event to festival faithful tuned in for this weekend’s

29th-annual lawn party at Provi-dence Farm.

That’s where the Cowichan Folk Guild, and artistic coordinator Robert McCourty, will host about 3,000 fans plus a slew of all-ages’ acts during one of the west’s best little folkfests.

Children’s entertainer Rick Scott, one-third of the legendary Pied Pumkin trio, compared IFF to summer camp.

“You get to hang out with friends, and the workshops pro-duce amazing, magical, musical moments.”

Duncan songwriter Bever-ley McKeen touted the farm’s tranquil setting for making the eco-friendly festival special.

“Its natural surroundings and beauty of our area is such a wel-coming, inviting place for artists, especially musicians, to come and share their passion. It’s a privilege to be on that site.”

“Providence Farm’s one the most beau-tiful festival sites, ever,” said Scott, who turned 65 July 14. “Beauti-ful build-ings, and (musical) workshops too — it feels like

your home.”Campers will pitch pads along

forested, patrolled trails where � res and glass are banned. Pets, and vehicle idling are also pro-hibited.

Festival lensman Kevin Oke is OK with what’s become an an-nual shoot at the festival offering free park-and-ride shuttles, and reams of recycling.

“I’ll be living there, as usual. The coolest thing is our festival’s a real family event; that feeling’s been lost on lots of festivals that get really big.

“Vancouver’s festival is abso-lutely huge, and that’s not what it’s all about to me — this festival supports young people, and lots of locals get a chance to per-form.”

Like songwriter Paul Ruszel.“I love our festival; the setting’s

one thing that sets it apart,” said the singer with Jane’s Way band.

It’s among dozens of acts on a roster bridging folk queen Judy Collins, blues giant Jim Byrnes, and singer Connie Kaldor, to

countri� ed crooner Ryan Mc-Mahon, multi-instrumentalist Ed Peekeekoot, and many more.

“The acts are always great but we’re not a big-name festival. Some musicians are more famous now after playing our festival,” Ruszel said citing Danny OKeefe and Stacy Earle.

McKeen applauded IFF’s treed shade, and various stages “strate-gically placed so the sound from one doesn’t bleed into another

one.”“You can � nd a place to sit

comfortably, and get music from two stages; the chapel stage is a blessing because of the quality of the room for acoustic music.”

While the festival offers a bever-age garden, McKeen said people aren’t there to swill beer, but to support the artists and their com-munity. She also toasted IFF’s band of loyal volunteers that always needs more hands.

“What’s great is volunteers do come forward and drive our festi-val — if not for the volunteers, it just wouldn’t go.”

Fourteen-year volunteer Sharon Bereskow agreed.

“You get to know everyone year after year, and it gets to be one big family.”

Still, there are bound to be sug-gestions to improve the festival.

IFF veteran Lorna Lawson sug-gested local government give the folk guild annual grants “to allow us to bring in bigger acts.”

McKeen recommended some-where for folkies to safely store belongings, for a nominal fee.

“And every musician who plays — an MC, feature or youth — should get an honorarium of some kind because they put tons of time and effort into prepar-ing.”

“I also hope sponsorship in-creases so we can give a shout-out to them for helping the festival. That helps build more local shopping to keep money in our community.”

IFF29 sponsors include Co-wichan’s Woodshop Recording Studio, 101.7 FM CHLY Radio, CUPE, Thrifty Foods, CHEK-TV, BC Ferries, and Heritage Canada.

Meanwhile, Oke and Scott praised the music at pastoral Providence.

“A good percentage are Cana-dian performers, especially from the valley and the island,” said Oke.

“I’m always amazed how many people have never heard of our festival. It’s not a folk festival, it’s a music fes-tival: there’s country, roots, blues, African, the whole gamut.”

Scott also cheered IFF’s commitment to helping Providence’s package of community programs.

“It has a perfectly karmic his-tory to it, and the work they do there now also adds to the bank account of love and righteous-ness.”

Andrew Leong/� leThe Islands Folk Festival has capped its crowd size at 3,000 for a number of years as part of its goal to maintain its signature atmosphere.

Returning this weekend to Providence Farm: After 29 years, Islands Folk Festival knows how to keep the faithful happy

Reliable Folkfest remains a family affairSPOTLIGHT

Chemainus ArtBeat goes SpooksvilleIt’s been the summer of Spooksville in Co-

wichan, with fi lm crews for the ubiquitous new TV series setting up in virtually every corner of the valley.

But nowhere will the production be more evident this weekend than in Chemainus.

ArtBeat, Chemainus’ Friday-night open-air arts and music festival, is adopting the eerie to

entertain you Friday by hosting a Spooksville Night.

Festivalgoers are encouraged to disguise themselves as zombies, vampires or ghosts before venturing downtown for a haunting good time, states an ArtBeat press release.

“Come meet and join some of the cast and crew...and fi nd out what all the excitement is

about,” the release reads. “The producers of Spooksville will be hosting a costume contest with categories for youth (16 & under) and adults. Winners of the contest will have the opportunity to be background performers in an up-coming episode.”

The fun runs from 5 to 9 p.m. in downtown Chemainus.

“Our festival’s a real family event.”Oke

“It feels likeyour home.”Scott

Don BodgerNews Leader Pictorial

Seven Duncan Stingrays raced among the 617 participants on 51 teams from across B.C. and Canada in the B.C. Open swim championships at the UBC Aquat-

ics facility.“It was our goal going into the swimmers’

major focus competition to race with our personal strategies at the front end —not be swayed by the competition — and trust our training in the back end of the races,’’ noted Stingrays’ coach Leanne Sirup.

“The swimmers’ confidence shone through with numerous heat wins and the climbing of rankings of all our swimmers.’’

Oliver Castle, 12, climbed five spots in the 200-metre backstroke to 11th, three spots in the 1,500 free to 11th and three spots in the 400 free to ninth.

Natalia Garriock, 17, made her greatest climb of 13 spots in the 100 free to fifth place while Laura Kissack, 15, jumped five spots in the 200 free to 19th and four spots in the 400 I.M. to sixth; Tamara Garriock, 20, moved up 20 spots in the 100 breast to third; Malia Prystupa, 11, climbed the most in the 50 free to 11th, up four spots; and Haakon Koyote, 15, gained three places in the 200 free to 15th.

Natalia Garriock, Koyote and Malia Prystupa all earned four personal bests while Castle, Tamara Garriock and Kissack had three.

Montana Prystupa, 13, the other Stingray in the competition, was solely a relay swim-mer.

At least one Stingrays’ club record fell on each day of the event.

Tamara Garriock surpassed her own female open 200 breast record on Day One.

On Day Two, Castle beat Colby Smith’s male 11 and 12 years 800 free mark dating back to 2002.

On Day Three, Natalia Garriock got into the act with a female 15 to 17 years swim in the 100 free that beat sister Tamara’s record.

On Day Four, Castle beat Kurt Vollmer-hause’s 1982 record in the male 11 and 12 400 free; the female open 4x100 medley relay team set a club record and Natalia Garriock surpassed her own 15 to 17 100 fly record.

Andrew Leong/fileSmooth strokes are made by Duncan Stingrays’ Malia Prystupa during the 10 and under training camp earlier this year.

A big weekend is coming up for top track and field athletes from the valley.

The valley’s elite is head-ing to Kamloops for the

B.C. Athletics provincial champion-ships at Thompson Rivers University.

The Trevor Craven Memorial meet at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium was the latest tune-up for the athletes.

Chicago Bains again put on a show there with first place in the 80- and 200-metre midget hurdles and second in the 200-metre dash.

Bains continues to attain personal bests, shaving even more miniscule amounts of time from previous re-markable races.

“For me, it’s hard to tell,’’ she said of those subtle improvements. “I can’t tell when I’m racing.’’

Bains smashed through the 11.60 second barrier at the Jack Brow meet in Kelowna to 11.57 in the 80 hurdles and then beat that again by going 11.55 at Burnaby.

She did the same in the 200 hurdles, going under 28 seconds to 27.89 at Kelowna and then exceeding that to 27.53 at Burnaby.

Bains even amazes her coach John May.

“We have not unleashed her full po-tential yet, saving it for a meet of higher importance,’’ May noted.

“Concurrently, we have been increas-ing her sprint speed and also her 200

hurdle event speed — something that is most difficult to do, in fact rare, at the speeds she is running. Very rare.’’

In other events, Taryn Smiley, who’s also receiving coaching from May, topped the 100- and 200-metre youth dashes.

Tia Baker was second in the 100, but was scratched from the 200 due to a knee injury.

Baker also competed in the long jump and finished fourth, unable to complete all of her jumps because of the injury.

Chase Peleshaty sprinted to second place in the men’s 20 to 22 100 and 200 dashes.

Duncan’s Mark Wallace soared to the junior men’s championship in the Ca-nadian downhill mountain

bike races at Panorama Mountain.

Wallace of Devinci Global Racing finished in 2:34.06, a

mere 0.35 seconds ahead of runner-up Hugo Langevin from Sainte-Catherine, Quebec.

Chris BrantingTalk about bad timing. Chris Branting, 16, just found out he has a stress fracture in his foot that will keep out of action for the remainder of the lacrosse season. There are two major events on the horizon he’ll miss — the Cowichan Valley Midget A1 Thunder’s appearance in the provincial championships and Team B.C. competition at the nationals in Whitby, Ont. The injury doesn’t tarnish what a great season it’s been for Branting to this point. Just making Team B.C. with Thunder teammate Taylor Martin was a huge accomplishment. That process began with Team Island tryouts and then an invite for the final Team B.C. selection in Vancouver. “I started out hoping to be in the top 30 and then when I was in the top 30, I scored one goal and I thought I might actually have a shot,’’ said Branting. He began playing at an early age in mini tyke and took a year off in novice to join football before returning to lacrosse. “I started playing because I wanted to be like my brother (Andrew) pretty much,’’ said Branting. He describes himself as good at “transition and pressuring on D. I’m all right at shooting — getting better.’’

Nothing prevents the Co-wichan Valley Midget A1 Thunder lacrosse team from reaching its goals.

There’s no way the team that’s been through all sorts of adversity was going to concede the island championship to arch-rival Juan de Fuca.

After being rocked by injuries and player absences all season and an un-usual goaltender pad measurement that resulted in the ejection of goalie Pollo Claxton in game two of the island final, the Thunder stayed the course and beat Juan de Fuca 7-4 in the deciding game of a best-of-three series.

“They’re a good bunch of kids,’’ said coach Lorne Winship. “It’s really a family between the parents and kids. They’re a phenomenal group.

“I’d have to say this is probably the best team I’ve ever coached. There’s just something about this team. It’s been a lot of fun and a great ride.’’

The Thunder made sure before Sat-urday morning’s game at Kerry Park Arena that Juan de Fuca wasn’t going to benefit from any more technicalities.

A new set of pads for Claxton that didn’t flair out by an eighth of an inch did the trick. The Thunder had the ref-eree conduct a measurement before the game and Claxton was good to go.

As you would have expected, Claxton rose to the challenge after sitting out most of the previous game and played phenomenal in net.

That’s been the tone of the team this season. No matter what the circum-stances, the players have found a way to come out on top.

This was another game where the team’s clutch players did the scoring and everyone else did their jobs.

“It’s the standard top five or six did the scoring,’’ said Winship. “All the rest of them contributed and played solid defence.’’

Colin Winship opened the scoring on

assists from Taylor Martin and Derek Hayes. The Thunder made it 2-0 on a Hayes goal, assisted by Braylon Lumb.

Juan de Fuca came back to even the score 2-2 after the first period and took a 3-2 lead in the second.

Martin’s marker assisted by Tyson Black and a goal from Brandon Corby with help from Black and Mathieu Jung restored a 4-3 Thunder lead after two.

Black from Hayes, Lumb from Mar-tin and Lumb from Hayes made it 7-3 in the third before Juan de Fuca scored a late goal that didn’t matter.

“It was close all the way till the third when we ended up pulling away by three goals,’’ said Lorne Winship.

The Thunder found out they have lost Chris Branting for the rest of the sea-son due to a stress fracture in his foot.

“It’s real disappointing for him,’’ said Winship. “He’s not going to be able to participate in provincials or Team B.C. We’ll miss him, too.’’

The Thunder heads to Port Co-quitlam next week for the provincial championships that will feature six teams in a complete round robin format followed by a playoff involving the top four and a final game between the winners.

“It’s a track meet,’’ said Winship. “You even have to be careful with that.’’

With the potential for seven games, “you’ve got to play everybody and keep everybody fresh,’’ he conceded.

Winship has much of the same crew back from the provincial A2 champion-ship last year, but winning at the A1 level will require a Herculean effort from everyone against elite Lower Mainland competition.

“It’s going to be really tough,’’ said Winship.

But nothing would surprise anyone with the way this team has played all season. Timely goals and tough defence are trademarks that will make Co-wichan a challenge for any opponent.

“I think we can compete,’’ said Win-ship. “We’ll give our all.’’

First game is next Wednesday, July 24.

Fall was joined by Glen Taylor and Gordie Grant of Victoria’s Burnside club and Joe Hunt from the Lower Mainland. Taylor is a re-markable story since he’s a visually impaired athlete.

“We went undefeated,’’ said Fall of the 14-team double knockout event.

Teufel provides a thrilling conclusion to lacrosse playoffDon BodgerNews Leader Pictorial

It was a wild finish.

The Cowichan Valley Bantam B Thunder won its best-of-three island cham-pionship lacrosse series over

the Comox Valley Wild.It came down to the third and

deciding game Saturday at Na-naimo’s Frank Crane Arena.

The score was tied 8-8 when

Liam Joe fed a perfect pass to Parker Teufel and he scored with 10 seconds left to give the Thunder a 9-8 win. It was Teufel’s fifth goal of the game.

Clayton Raphael and Gavin Spencer added two goals apiece.

Teufel also added a single assist, along with Spencer, Rhys Mazur-enko, Joe and Brayden Grantham.

The Thunder lost the first game of the series but came back to win the next two.

“That really shows the charac-ter of the kids,’’ said coach Dale Nordstrom. “They really started to play for each other as opposed to anything else. They really came together as a team.’’

The Thunder now heads to Delta this week for the provincial championships.

“The B league is an extremely tough league to win,’’ said Nord-strom. “There’s going to be some tough competition over there.’’

It’s comedic relief for couples experi-encing similar changes, and it’s a good indicator marital glitches are common for parents.

“The � rst � ve years are incredibly tough, and even including during the pregnancy there are hard challenges,” con� rmed local counsellor Rebecca Christofferson.

Christofferson’s held her counselling practice for 12 years and worked with numerous couples on family issues..

“There are roles, expectations, and hormones as factors. They come out in different stages,” she said.

Although every couple and their situ-ations are unique on their own, typical issues that arise for Christofferson are isolation, � nancial woes, maternal de-pression/anxiety and intimacy (or a lack thereof).

When it comes to isolation, often moms or dads feel they’re alone in the journey.

“With isolation, the overwhelming fac-tor is much higher,” she explained. “And we live in a generation where so much is needed from the partner, to be a best friend, � nancial supporter, caregiver, and an attendant parent.”

If a partner feels completely alone for more than a few weeks at a time, help should be sought, she suggested.

Even if your partner’s there, it’s a good idea to create secondary support networks.

“Your partner doesn’t have to be your everything,” she said.

Parents should seek groups, join a team or activity of some sort, whether it be a post-natal � tness class or a poker night at a friend’s place.

Another factor in the stress a family endures is � nancial worries.

“The amount of money a family has to make together is quite sub-stantial, and stressful as the job market hasn’t matched that,” said Christofferson.

“And when it comes to careers, most women now have jobs to go back to. These are jobs they’ve committed � ve years educating themselves for. And going back to work now means they have two full-time jobs.”

Taking the time to work on resource management is key, as often families fall into the loop, the more money made, the more they spend.

Another typical scenario among squab-bling parents is one’s anxiety over the other’s responsibility.

When routines become almost robotic, it’s hard to let go, Christofferson ex-plained.

“When you’re on call 24/7 and you

have that magnitude of responsibility, it’s hard handing that over,” she said, noting the camp lifestyle is becoming more common with couples in Cowichan, with more dads working shift work out of province.

“There’s the rotation of routines and mom’s routine is compromised,” she explained.

A very typical, but more private factor that often comes into play is intimacy

and it going out the door when a new baby arrives.

“To be fully interested in your partner after holding your fo-cus all day on your baby and just that level of exhaustion can be tough,” sympathized Christofferson. “If you’re co-sleeping, make

sure to have a sensual nest some-place else. There needs to be someplace

that’s just there for the two of you.”And that place is entirely up to the

couple and likely should be their best-kept secret.

Christofferson’s “doomsday” warning to folks is to seek help when children are between the ages 0-4, if needed.

“I often think to myself ‘Why didn’t you just come in 10 years ago,” she said.

Because glitches are common, it’s not always necessary to seek counselling.

Sometimes situations can ride them-selves out, especially if both partners are mindful and willing to work together.

“But there’s a difference between riding it out and letting things slide to the point it’s not going to end well,” Christofferson said.

She’s familiar with — and a fan of — This is 40 and its predeccessor Knocked Up.

“I loved that part in Knocked Up when (Leslie) says to (Paul) ‘Why didn’t you ask me to go?’ and ‘I like Spider-Man,’” she said, referring to the scene where Leslie’s upset her hubby went and watched the movie without her.

Both movies hit home for Christoffer-son and there’s much to learn from them.

“Sometimes we get into the habits of coping, we often forget to tell each other how we’re feeling,” she said.

Robert DouglasNews Leader Pictorial

The bicycle is becoming an increas-ingly popular mode of trans-portation in communities across North America, and Cowichan is no exception.

Many cities are encouraging us to get on our bikes and leave the car in the driveway by building much needed cycling infra-structure, including networks of bike lanes and paths, bike racks for parking, as well as specialized traf� c signs to improve safety.

The City of Vancouver, for example, recently added separated bike lanes to key streets as part of a larger initiative to increase the number of cyclists on the road.

These efforts have paid off, as Vancouver has seen a 40 % increase in the use of the bicycle as a mode of transportation during the past � ve years, from 47,000 to 67,000 daily bike trips.

In Cowichan, local government is taking steps in the right direction, although a great deal work still needs to be done.

North Cowichan, for instance, has an ongoing program of widening roads and adding bike lanes, and according to at least one well-known cyclist, several routes that were formerly very dangerous are now quite pleasant and safe.

In other areas, however, North Cowichan has added traf� c-calming measures such as sidewalk bulges to narrow roads and make them safer for pedestrians, which has unfor-tunately created new dangers for cyclists as the narrowed gap squeezes them into traf� c.

It has also been a mixed bag with the Co-wichan Valley Regional District.

Although local cyclists welcomed the Trans Canada Trail and other new trails, there con-tinues to be a lack of bike lanes on key roads and streets, and the existing trail networks offer very little connectivity for commuters.

And throughout Cowichan, safety con-

tinues to be a major concern. Accidents do happen, and although they are generally due to an error on the part of the driver or the cyclist, improved road design and other measures could help make the bicycle a safer mode of transportation.

With these and other issues in mind, many were pleased with the announcement Dun-can, Cowichan Tribes and North Cowichan would be working together to develop an Active Transportation Plan to make the region friendlier to pedestrians and cyclists.

With this plan likely being made public in the coming months, many hope its recom-mendations result in concrete actions to cre-ate safe bicycle routes and encourage cycling as a viable mode of transportation.

A good start would be adding bike lanes on key roads and streets so we have a net-work of safe routes for commuting, running errands and simple recreation.

Improved signage would be another excel-lent way to promote safety, such as “share the road” signs at roundabouts and other dangerous areas.

Finally, as was recently recommended by the local organization Cycle Cowichan, our local governments need to ensure all new roads, road restorations and road improve-ments include safe routes for bicycles.

Whether local government provides the needed infrastructure or not, we can be sure stubbornly high oil prices and growing pub-lic concern for the environment will continue to make the bicycle an increasingly popular mode of transportation.Rob Douglas writes monthly for the Cowichan News Leader Pictorial.

Which directorsare actually paying attention? CVRD: Senior staff wage hikes raise questions

While it must be heartening for some Cowichan taxpayers to see Ian Morrison step up to ques-tion recent wage increases to senior staff, it has to be troubling as well.

When Morrison states (see In my opinion, opposite page) he was “shocked” and “grossly under-informed” on the issue, one has to question why.

Don’t directors go over budgets and approve what’s spent? Doesn’t staff explain expense increas-es, what they are, and why they are necessary?

Are we supposed to conclude staff was being selective with what opinions they shared, or that directors were not paying attention?

Is either scenario supposed to make taxpayers feel better?

It’s not as though the question of senior staff wages is a new one.

It was � rst brought to public atten-tion in March by Mill Bay resident Blaise Salmon through an In my opinion piece in the News Leader Pictorial.

Shawnigan Lake Director Bruce Fraser raised the issue at the CVRD board table during subsequent budget talks and it has been the subject of a series of reports in the local media.

Previously, reaction at the board table —Morrison included — has been shrugged shoulders. As they often do, politicians seemed to react with a “the people complaining just don’t understand the context.”

Under what context does senior staff raises averaging more than 11% last year make sense? Especially when this comes on the heels of raises of between 11 and 34 % for those same posi-tions between 2007 and 2011.

Somebody needs to pay more attention to how they are spending our money.

We say:No one should be sur-prised here

Echo Heights Park: when will council get the message?Dear editor

It is indeed unfortunate Echo Heights in in the news again. One might have thought North Cowichan council had � nally got the message, after seven years of � ghting Chemainus residents who want their largest wilderness recreation area made a park. Ap-parently not.

To try to argue now that development of 20% of the rare coastal Douglas � r habitat should be acceptable is to display a lack of respect for the residents of Mural Town that is breath-taking in its arrogance. Even an aroused citizenry does not have many resources to � ght city hall. What they do have, however, is patience and their determination to refuse to knuckle under in the face of of-� cial intransigence. They are sustained by the knowledge they are doing the right thing. Nor are they dismayed when one or two individu-als throw in the towel.

As time goes by, and the vast undertaking that will be the reclaiming and rebuilding of the natural environment gains momentum, future councils may well look back on this moment and say “thank God they did the right thing.” But who, exactly, will be remem-bered with pride? Council or the people of Chemainus?Tom MastersChemainus

Dredging calls to mind proverbDear editor

Perhaps Costco can move into the hole being created by RONADear editor

Duncan RONA’s closing will be unfortu-nate. It offers products other local stores do not, which I will sorely miss. However, the silver lining in this situation is that its location lends itself perfectly to a Costco store. I know of many local residents who travel to the Na-

naimo and Victoria Costco locations. Surely, we have the population to support a Costco when you include places like Ladysmith, Che-mainus, Crofton, Duncan, North Cowichan, Lake Cowichan, Mill Bay, Cobble Hill, Salt Spring etc. Perhaps they could be courted by our economic development department.Karen Belangercomments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

What, exactly, is our economic development department doing?Dear editor

Re: RONA’s closure. So the head of the North Cowichan economic development (waste of money) department was not aware of what is going on in the business world! What a surprise — not. Why do we have this farce of committee squandering mega amounts of taxpayers money without one business deal to show for its existance?Jim Copleycomments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

If you want to rush to your death, don’t take me with youDear editor

During the past few years I have made a concentrated effort to ignore most things that bother me. Having read Paul Fletcher’s rant about our local drivers and Chris Carss’ rather contemptuous letter in response, I’ll make an exception.

Mr. Fletcher, if speeding on your motor-cycle is your heart’s desire, I suggest you move to almost any of the European countries where suicide by car seems to be the norm. Mr. Carss, I loving living in the “valley of stop” as you call it. People here in paradise

have somehow managed to remain selectively sane. That’s why we live here. There must be something to our way of life; people are rush-ing to live here and rarely leave unless forced to do so.

There is no place the average person needs to be that necessitates excessive speed unless you are in a rush to die. That being the case, please don’t take me with you.Peggy CetinskiDuncan

Let local documentary shine needed light on child apprehensionsDear editor

I hope the upcoming Harold Joe/Patricia Dawn documentary tells the truth about the horror of apprehensions and the hopeless-ness and trauma of a life in “care.” There is a reason children in “care” end up on drugs, homeless, in prison, and suicidal in far greater numbers than children who are left with even “bad” parents. People have to stop believing the government is a cure-all.

The government can’t even � x a pothole, so why would we believe they can be a good parent? The media, all too often in concert with the Ministry of Children and Family Development and their vast network of part-ners who pro� t greatly from the removal of children, portray these removals as necessary. In fact, large numbers of children are taken from good parents and parents who just need a little assistance, instead of having their world — and their child’s world — ripped apart by an apprehension, which is probably one of the most traumatic experiences a child or a family can go through.Mea Jonescomments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

I would not have supported hikesIn my opinion: Auditor should look into CVRD senior salaries

In the 4 1/2 years I have served as a Cowichan Lake South director, there have been several issues raised by differ-ent communities, as examples of local government not listening to the people.

None has risen to the level of universal con-demnation the way this CVRD exempt-staff compensation issue has in this past month. I want to assure readers I understand their anger and I commit to doing something t.

Last month I was approached by a com-munity member, upset about what he viewed as a pay increase beyond what anyone would view as reasonable. I explained what I knew of senior management receiving two annual incremental increases totalling 5.5 %, in one year, as being unusual. This resident stated a manager in question had received an increase of over 12.5 % in 2012 versus 2011.

I went onto the CVRD website to “Finan-cial Information” and clicked on “Statements of Financial Information” and reviewed the reports from 2011 and 2012. I was shocked!

I proceeded to analyze a random selection of more than a dozen exempt (non-union) staff salaries of those earning over $75,000. The average increase was more than 11½%. I was unable to explain where the additional 6% average increase came from.

I now understand there are “salary bands” within various management job classi� ca-tions. I’m sure that accounts for a substantial portion of that unaccounted-for 6%. I’ve been a director since 2008 when the entire CVRD was re-organized. To my knowledge, the process of determining senior manage-ment salaries has not been fully explained to the CVRD board since I was � rst elected.

I take the responsibility for taxpayers’ money extremely seriously. I make great ef-forts to be well-prepared and informed about CVRD � nances. In this instance, I feel grossly under-informed by the administration be-cause I don’t have the necessary information to explain these increases to constituents who ask about them.

Believe me, people have been asking!I’ve heard your pleas for restraint and � nan-

cial accountability. I have voted for programs and services my community wants or needs, based on all the information available to me.

I would not have voted for an exempt staff salary increase in 2013 if this critical informa-tion was available to board members when the recommendation from staff was made.

I would not have voted for the CVRD 2013 budget as it stands, had I known about the extraordinary exempt staff compensation increases paid in 2012.

I am calling for the municipal auditor to conduct a performance audit on the CVRD’s � nances and operations in order to “provide local governments with objective informa-tion and relevant advice that will assist them in their accountability to the communities for the stewardships of public assets and the achievement of value for money in their operations.”Ian Morrison is CVRD director for Area F: Cowichan Lake South/Skutz Falls

• Executive director Sonja Nagel is calling it the most generous in-kind equipment donation ever received by the Duncan-Cowichan Chamber of Commerce. Joe Godard informed them AGS Business Services is donating a Ricoh Colour Digital Imaging System for the Cowichan Re-gional Visitor Centre, currently under construc-tion at the B.C. Forest Discovery Centre.

• The chamber was also excited to announce Island Savings will provide a 12-foot totem pole created by Nuu-Chuh-Nulth carvers Jimmy, Norman and Eddie John, on long- term loan for display in the Cowichan Regional Visitor Centre. The totem pole originally stood in the former Island Savings branch on Canada Avenue in Duncan.

• Meanwhile, the folks at the Chemainus Visitor Centre offer a big thanks to Drew Smith of Impulse Electronic who donated a new TV complete with a wall bracket and cable,

and Brad Grigor of Turning Point Arts, who donated a DVD player. That means the Once Upon a Day Cowichan video is playing all day to show off the valley’s attractions. Another TV and DVD player donated by Andre Villeux of ComputerEase Solutions will be used for other slide shows, etc.

• Visitors to Cowichan Bay can now enjoy a one-hour tour of the bay’s heritage and natural wonders with Greylag Boat Tours, a new service launched by local shipwright and entrepreneur Tim Doyle.

• Marlene Madsen, Lyle Young and the rest of the crew at Cowichan Bay’s Farmhouse Poultry were honoured in June with the 2013 Rising Star Award for innovation and leadership from the B.C. Food Processors Association.

• With the Youbou Regatta just a few weeks away, M.L. Auger has issued a challenge to the valley: “For the past number of years local challengers for the Whittington 1/4 mile Swim have been outshone, not only by an ‘old fart,’ but by a ‘foreigner’ to boot!

Imagine an organization which has donated funds for more than 65 consecutive years to support cancer patient care, research and equipment. Now imagine the commitment of thousands of members hosting socials and teas, bazaars, raffl es and other fund-raisers, as well as giving freely of

their time to meet their charitable goals.

According to Ruth Foster, Director of Cancer Activities for the O.E.S., “There are four categories of annual giving: educational bursaries, equipment, supplies and Cancer Dressings.”

Last year, $8,362.29 was collected from the sale of cancelled stamps and postcards throughout British Columbia and Yukon to be distributed for Cancer Research or Cancer Dressings, wherever it is needed. (We must thank our friends in the community for keeping us well supplied with stamps.)

Sunset Chapter #44, Duncan has one of our 39 Cancer Dressing Stations, located downstairs in the Mercury Theatre on Brae Road, Duncan.

Last year, throughout our jurisdiction, 170 dedicated members volunteered 8120 hours producing 69,708 cancer dressings at a cost of $9,599.91. (We’ve used up inventory on hand, which once again reduced expenses. There is a need for dressings in Northern BC, so these numbers will likely increase next year.)

Presently, sterilization is only being done by certain Hospitals and Clinics by trained and qualifi ed staff in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna and Prince George. The present method of distribution is - the hospital staff will give the patient a supply of cancer dressings to take home. Local cancer patients requiring dressings are asked to contact the Canadian Cancer Society Offi ce at 250-746-4134.

Cancer is a dreadful disease without the added burden of the expense of dressings often required. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CHARGE TO THE PATIENT. All that is required is a doctor’s referral.

By supporting our Stamp Project, attending bazaars and teas, the Cabaret Night or buying tickets on our annual Cancer Draw, you enable us to continue our efforts in the fi ght against cancer. We’ve had a Polar Swim each February since 2005, fi rst at Transfer Beach in Ladysmith and starting this year, at Departure Bay in Nanaimo. Thanks to pledges/donations, the members willing to brave the chilly water, have raised over $50,000.00 for Cancer Projects.

Please drop off your used stamps at the Cowichan News Leader/Pictorial Offi ce between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, Mon. to Fri., #2-5380 Trans Canada Hwy., the United Steelworkers Offi ce, 351 Brae Road, or the local Cancer Offi ce, #100-394 Duncan Street. NB: Our Stamps Dealers dictate how the stamps are to be trimmed, so we are asking our friends in the community NOT to TRIM stamps off envelopes. Just leave the stamps intact and we’ll do the rest. We don’t want any stamps to be spoiled. Thanks.

Ashley DegraafNews Leader Pictorial

There will be Munsch to Say in several languages, even in Cowichan

Tribe’s Hul’qumi’num come the opening of Chemainus Theatre Festival’s KidzPlay production July 20.

Chemainus Theatre artis-tic director Mark DuMez and cast have been working with First Nations elders to bring the language alive in the cult Canadian children’s author Robert Munsch-based show Munsch to Say!, which includes classic tales Andrew’s Loose Tooth, We Share Everything, and Aaron’s Hair.

“It’s been an exciting community col-laboration and to be part of the language preservation efforts which are integral to this project,” said DuMez, who’s worked with members of the Coast Salish com-munity to explore the languages, sounds, gestures, and pictures from across British Columbia.

“There’s a commonality around the Sal-ish Sea for those of us who live in this re-gion. I want the audience to be captivated by learning new words in the language of our neighbours through story-telling and feel connected to each other.”

The wacky and wonderful production, Munsch To Say! kicks off the theatre’s 2013 Discovery programming.

The youth-based series of shows offers opportunities for young ones and families to participate in and experience the joy of theatrical art forms.

Vancouver Island University Cowichan Campus elder-in-residence and Penelakut Tribes’ Florence James provided dialect

training to the cast.She’s also involved

with the Robert Munsch Project through School District 79’s First Nation Preservation Project translating classic stories into print and interactive Hul’qumi’num audio books.

“I was so pleased when I found out that (Che-mainus Theatre Festival) wanted to do this play,” she said. “The language comes alive on stage. To have non-Natives learn and speak our language, they are like role models to me. This new genera-

tion has beautiful hearts and they will be the change that we need to keep our language and culture alive in the future.”

Morgan McLeod leads the cast, Ian Harmon (Sunshine Boys and Munsch Ado About Nothing), Corey Payette (Jo-seph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream-coat), Susan Coodin (Steel Magnolias, Wilde Holiday Shorts and Anne) and Emilie Leclerc (originally from Quebec, provides French translation).

Also contributing is Cowichan singer-songwriter and story-teller, Ed Pee-keekoot.

Island Farm’s Daisy the Cow kicks off Saturday’s show with free ice cream and pre-show games starting at 10 a.m.

Your ticketWhat: Munsch to Say!Where: Chemainus Theatre Festival
