Man arrested after jumping from stolen Mustang during police chase Krista Siefken
News Leader Pictorial
A
police pursuit that saw a man jump from a stolen Mustang as its driver sped off was called off Tuesday afternoon due to safety concerns, RCMP say. The vehicle was later located abandoned on the Kingburn Forest Service Road in the Shawnigan Lake area. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP learned about the stolen car at 3:20 p.m. on Tuesday, when a report of an erratic driver speeding northbound on the Trans-Canada Highway past Shawnigan Lake
was called in. A witness, police say, reported the vehicle — a silver Ford Mustang with B.C. plates — hitting the centre concrete meridian near Cobble Hill. The driver almost lost control before driving on. Police picked up the chase near Trunk Road and initiated a traf¿c stop with help from the Integrated Road Safety Unit. However, police say the driver managed to avoid Mounties by speeding through various side-streets. “The vehicle was observed to be travelling at a high rate of speed, making unsafe lane changes and driving in a reckless manner,” Cpl. Greg Pask

said in an email to media. “Due to the unsafe manner in which the vehicle was being driven and the associated risk to the general public at that time of day, the pursuit was called off.” But just as police were being told to stand down, a man was seen jumping from the rearpassenger door as the Mustang continued to speed southbound on Lakes Road, from Calais Road. “This male passenger was arrested for possession of stolen property and is currently being investigated for his role in the stolen vehicle,” Pask said. “A search of this passenger resulted in an empty crack pipe being located.”
RCMP Police Dog Services attempted to locate the driver from where the Mustang was found abandoned, but the track ended at Doran Road. “Follow-up investigation has identi¿ed two individuals believed to be responsible for this incident,” Pask said. “Both individuals are known to the North Cowichan/Duncan and Westshore RCMP.” The vehicle, meanwhile, was seized and is awaiting investigation by forensic identi¿cation investigators. Anyone with information about this incident, or the identity of the driver, is asked to contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP detachment at 250-748-5522.

There’s a myth that says that pipes and cigars are a safe alternative to cigarettes. People who smoke them say they don’t inhale as much so it can’t be as dangerous. Not so. Tobacco smoke from any source is still deadly and oral and lung cancer is still a distinct risk. Best advice? Don’t smoke anything.

Last Summer of Lee-Anne helps local woman deal with Huntington’s disease www.duncanbutchershop.com
Maeve Maguire
L
ee-Anne Peters’ prayers were answered, though in this case, that’s not a good thing. When Peters was 10 years old she prayed to God if any of her siblings should have Huntington’s disease — as her mother did — let it be her. Peters’ mother died from the debilitating disease when Lee-Anne was 16; two years later Lee-Anne learned she too had the disease. Her siblings did not. Huntington’s disease is a genetic disorder that degenerates nerve cells in the brain. For most people with this disease, deterioration takes 15 to 20 years; in Peters’s case, it is happening much more quickly. Her friend Erin Kapela explains. “It’s total neurological rot. Chunks of her brain shut down and stop sending signals. Every single system in the body is affected.” At this point, Peters is losing control of her limbs, which causes them to jerk involuntarily, and her emotional responses are like that of a sevenyear-old. But she is determined to take control of her short life. “Lee-Anne watched her mother go into a nursing home before she was 30, so she knew if she had the disease it would be early onset. When Lee-Anne turned 18, the doctors told her she was too young for genetic testing.” Peters insisted on having the tests, which showed she had the disease. That was eight years ago and she already requires full-time support. “It’s not taking the 20 years to deteriorate, it’s taking ¿ve,” said Kapela. Peters is unique in her awareness of her condition. “She’s always known she could handle it. I watched her move into acceptance, giving up hope of a longterm relationship or having a family. She did that when she was 22. It was heartbreaking watching her realize that. Instead, she’s systematically — ingeniously — built a group of friends who would watch out for her,” said Kapela. Her friends are doing more than watching out for her, they are her fulltime care-givers in this ¿nal stage of awareness. Peters lives with Jai Mills and his girlfriend Corelli Mattice. “When Jai met Lee-Anne seven years ago, he had a feeling our com-

munity of friends would take of her, and he intuitively knew he had a role in her care. He accepted that years ago,” said Kapela. Mills and Mattice are in university, helping to support Peters ¿nancially with their student loans and part-time work. “I looked at the situation and thought, ‘Oh good Lord, we need to take the pressure off.’ Jai and the others were already doing so much,” Kapela said. She started an online fundraising campaign at gofundme.com, called “The Last Summer of Lee-Anne” with the hope of raising $3,333, “to make sure everyone is fed.” Anything over and above will be spending money for Peters. Within a few days they were close reaching their target. “It’s giving them a huge sigh of relief. It’s allowing Lee-Anne to dream.” One of Peters’ dreams came true in the form of a donation from a local
resident. “A member of the community who is not close to Lee-Anne saw what we were doing and took it upon herself to arrange an all-expensepaid trip to To¿no for Lee-Anne and her caregivers. “When they called Long Beach Resort to book the trip, the resort offered to give them three nights’ accommodation, breakfast, a boat ride for free. The donor is paying for every else. Lee-Anne is so excited, like a six-year-old who was told she’s going to Disneyland on Sunday.” Kapela credits Peters for helping others remain positive while she lives with a terminal illness. “I think Lee-Anne helps everybody stay in gratitude. She is courageous. She is amazing.” To make a donation to The Last Summer of Lee-Anne, and to see a video of Peters talking about her situation, visit the website gofundme. com/summerofLeeAnne.

owichan Tribes continues to address the alarming spate of suicides and suicide-attempts on reserve. In May, the First Nations band declared a state of emergency in an attempt to secure more resources to tackle the disturbing trend. At the end of June, the band released an update outlining a variety of meetings and training sessions spent on the issue. A suicide awareness and prevention workshop was held on June 14, 15, 18 and 19, and then on June 22 Duncan resident Shawna Green organized the Compassion 4 Tribes Walk. “Also in June, Cowichan Tribes hosted many meetings with government, agencies, and businesses to develop partnerships and working relationships to not only address the state of emergency but to plan long-term in how we move forward together in a productive and healthy way,” a Tribes update states. In an email to the News Leader Pictorial last month, Health Canada’s Olivia Caron explained the federal department has invited Cowichan to apply for up to $275,000 in additional funding from existing programs to respond to the band’s immediate mental health needs. “Health Canada is providing support to the process by committing to a timely review and response to the two requested proposals,” she said. As it stands now, Caron said Health Canada is providing Cowichan Tribes with $3.7 million for health services in the current ¿scal year. That ¿gure includes $328,744 for mental-health and suicide-prevention programming. “Since 2008, Health Canada has provided almost $19 million in funding for health services to Cowichan through contribution agreements,”

The opinion was obtained from Vancouver’s Caroline & Gislason Lawyers at the behest of the former board’s ¿ve-trustee majority, and suggests trustees could be reinstated to their posts if they challenge their removal in court.

In the end, it was much ado about nothing School board: political stand merely hot air
W
e can’t help but feel it is just the calm before the storm, a brief respite before the vested interests launch their next assault. But Tuesday’s was certainly the calmest, most businesslike board of education meeting we have witnessed in quite some time. And we have to admit, we liked it. Appointed trustee Mike McKay walks in and essentially says “this is what we have, this is what we have to do, this is how we are going to do it.” Isn’t that what most of us want from our leaders? McKay plans to consult the public and be available to provide answers to whatever questions come up. Even if he fails Do we reto deliver, will that be any worse than the ally needs a elected trustees who preceded him? Former chairwomen Candace Spilsschool board bury and Wilma Rowbottom were notoat all? riously slow to return phone calls. Eden Haythornthwaite’s accessibility vanished when she switched from criticizer to criticizee. And then there’s Gary Gunderson, who openly refused to speak to the media and some voters entirely. By ¿ring the board, the district will save $93,000 in remuneration for trustees, as well as $17,600 for trustee travel. (Which, after subtracting McKay’s remuneration and travel expenses of $55,000, means the district can add another $55,600 back into classrooms — you know, “for the kids.”) As it stands we’re not aware of any school trustee duties that cannot be safely handed to school district staff. In most instances, staff is likely more quali¿ed. Few outside employees and political junkies seem to care much about our board of education’s heroic last stand. It simply failed to gain traction with the average Cowichanian. That’s probably because they are the only ones who have a signi¿cant stake in those limited areas under trustee control. And it begs the question: do we really need a school board at all?

Good people, good music, good times in a truly pastoral setting — that’s why the folkfest is so wellestablished. And that’s why organizers should leave well-enough alone.

You won’t change the world sitting on your hands Paul Fletcher
News Leader Pictorial
W
ithin my circle, I am recognized as a person who cares deeply about social and environmental issues. My detractors call me an environmentalist or even a contrarian. Federal cabinet ministers label groups I support as money launderers. The media, the government and those who don’t know me call me a radical, an enemy of Canada and — my favourite — a member of the Tin Hat Brigade. It is tough being an environmentalist these days, or tougher still, being a concerned Canadian. We face a multitude of issues brought on by political shifts in power and thinking. Everything is changing. The retirement age is changing, laws are toughening, armaments are increasing, environmental research and monitoring budgets are being slashed and emergency services are being cut. I don’t know about the average Canadian, but
I often feel overwhelmed. While we read on the surface about each of these issues, it is rare that we are close enough to the issue to feel personally affected to the point of taking action. Most of us are not angry enough that we can peel back the layers and see the real effect. The majority of us can be outraged or miffed about these developments, but in our typical Canadian way, we look the other way hoping the issue will resolve itself or that others will do the dirty work for us. Few see the pain and suffering of unexpected job loss, the impact of personnel reduction, and the loss of services that cannot be replaced. Very few see the long-term impact to the environment, species or biodiversity. The immediate is obviously more important to most of us. Some people, on the other hand, stand up and get noticed regarding the issues. Facebook and Twitter are rife with advocates for this or that cause, many of which revolve around the actions — nationally and
If there is a valley event that needs an injection of something lively and new, it’s this one. What’s with the steady stream of acts that nobody’s heard of except last year’s folkfest crowd?

internationally — of our present governments. Unfortunately, most comments are read and spread by those already in the know and often do not result in direct action. On the other hand, Facebook is also crowded with people spreading news that has no relevance, as if they are in a world where issues do not exist. In a way, the governments in power have taken on a very strategic direction by hitting us with many issues at the same time. It is hard for special-interest groups to attract people to their cause since most are busy with their own. It is a brilliant divide-and-conquer ploy that allows government to move their agendas forward as the opposition reels. Not only are governments hitting us from every direction, so are corporations and corporate-funded special interest groups. We face advertising from huge corporations able to throw millions into a campaign or fund special-interest groups to pipe their message through handpicked mouthpieces, most of
whom do not have an academic background qualifying them to speak. Yet, when environmentalists strive to promote their cause, reaching the mass audience is either unaffordable, or corporate control does not allow the message to be publicized. Case in point is Jimmy Pattison’s refusal to allow Greenpeace to buy billboard space celebrating a Solar Spill instead of an oil spill. We have reached a point of no return. It is time to stand up and be counted, to join your fellow Canadians to say a uni¿ed no to those changes that affect you deeply. It is time to stand up for something beyond your backyard. You are not alone. Paul Fletcher is former Duncan city councillor who writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial.

Fired board gained nothing
Dear editor Would those who support the illegal action of Cowichan’s red school board please tell me what has been gained from it? How exactly is this helping students and their education in the Cowichan Valley? In the unlikely event that this board is reinstated will it receive the budget it had 10 years ago? Who paid for the legal opinion? Who will pay if they proceed to court? Are they hoping for an “Arab Spring” in the streets of Duncan? Their support is coming mainly from district employees, the BCTF and random people on the street with children, who are asked if education should receive more funding. The silence from Adrian Dix is deafening, the NDP education critic does not endorse them breaking the law. One would think other B.C. trustees would have an intimate awareness of the challenges facing this board. The upshot of their lack of support was a withdrawal from the trustees’ association. Former local chairwoman Eden Haythornthwaite and company took their ball and went home because the others didn’t want to play. So they have achieved what they set out to do. They were duly elected to administer the budget that our legislative assembly had been duly elected to draft. Next time the ve should run to become the lawmakers — they can run on a platform that declares that the Cowichan school district should receive whatever money the ve decides it needs. Sally Davies, Shawnigan Lake
New library key to future revitalization of Chemainus In my opinion: Parking lot right spot
I
t was good to see the News Leader Pictorial editorial commenting on the proposal to build a new library as the centerpiece of the Chemainus Downtown Revitalization Plan. Nevertheless, I have to disagree with both your premise and conclusions. The library is only one component of a comprehensive plan for renewal of the town, including the approaches along Chemainus Road and improved access to the waterfront.

1978: environment
DATELINE: COWICHAN
by Ann Andersen
The Cowichan estuary task force headed by chairman Bryan Gates was compiling a report for the provincial ministry of environment. Included was an economic evaluation, results of a fisheries impact study and history of area land use.
Water bombers and ground crews spent several days trying to control then extinguish stubborn spot fires covering approximately 90 acres of a slashed area on the hillside west of Deerholme.

Although proposed names for the new complex on James Street included Discovery, Centennial and Captain Cook Bi-Centennial, centre manager Cesare Gianna said he was happy with plain old Cowichan Community Centre.
Cowichan schools in book controversy Dateline 1978: Dad wants book pulled from library Ann Andersen
News Leader Pictorial
N
ot exactly Fahrenheit 451 but a bold enough move by a local man kept school trustees on their toes during the hot sticky summer of 1978. When resident and values school proponent Graham Harper complained that having some books available in schools was a major cause of current teenage problems, all eyes delved into the pages of Go Ask Alice. The book has been described as an empathetic description of a teenager’s descent into a life of drugs and is still in print today. Quickly, the district’s curriculum advisory committee reviewed the book and recommended to the school board that it be retained as a library selection in the district’s secondary schools. The board unanimously agreed. “We recognize Mr. Harper’s right as an individual parent to request that his child not have access to the book. However, the committee also recognizes that no parent or group of parents has the right to determine reading, viewing or listening matter for students other than their own children,” said CAC chairperson trustee Joan Gillatt. Later that year, Graham Harper was among the so-called Group of Five that ran as a slate in an exciting school board election. Not one was elected.

motorsports spectacular is taking place in downtown Duncan this weekend as part of the Duncan-Cowichan Summer Festival. Motorcycle stunt rider Insane Kane Friesen will be doing demonstrations planned for 1:30, 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. Saturday on Duncan Street and Queens Road. Friesen is more of a trick rider, according to local motorcycle racing legend Don Hatton, who was instrumental in bringing him to Duncan after seeing him in Las Vegas. “I met him at an event quite a few years ago,’’ said Hatton. “I’ve been trying to get him here for two years. “Sharon Jackson played a huge part in bringing him here,’’ he added. “She’s been really amazing

he second wave of Cowichan’s cutting-edge digital creativity crested during Tuesday night’s debut of the 2012 Digital Arts Expo at PORTALS gallery. Cowichan Valley Arts Council’s newest exhibit of two-dozen digital works exemplifying cyber-art was smartly backed by presentations from various artists about how to market work, and more. It’s all part of the arts council’s proactive mandate of pairing patrons with local artists of all media. Some standout pieces at PORTALS colourful show, running until Aug. 3, include Carmen Waterman’s 3-D rendering The Universe; Beverly Koski’s digital painting Andromeda City On Planet X; Neil Fatin’s photo manipulation and digital collage Desert Traf¿c; and Glenn
Peter W. Rusland
Lost Warrior by Neil Fatin is among two-dozen works in the arts council’s current Digital Arts Expo at PORTALS. Spicer’s photo manipulation/collage Leopard Woman. Noted sculptor Spicer simply saw digital art as another, albeit virtual, canvas for methods bridging digital renderings, fractals and algorithmic art, digital painting and vector art, plus photomanipulation and digital collage. “Paints use a brush with small bits of colour; digital artists use pixels and a pen or their Âżnger as a brush to apply pixels.â€? Chemainus stone-carver Daniel Cline viewed
digital techniques as another portal. “There are so many techniques you can use; it opens a whole new area of imagery.â€? Zosia Miller, a new CVAC member, said she’s made digital art since about 1995, using her camera and a computer. “My camera’s my canvas,â€? she told the News Leader Pictorial. “Then I take (the shot) to my computer and play with it in Photoshop and Gimp (program) — there’s so much more to do with it.â€? Other digital-art displayers include Jeffrey Birkin, Julie Nygaard, Joseph Oliver, Nancy Oliver, Jeremy Sagar, Jane Waterman, and Isolde Verbrugge. Once work is made, Koski had ideas about virtually marketing it on the internet. “Websites are for solicitation; if they like your work, they’ll respond.â€? She also touted massive sites showing artwork that can be browsed then bought by patrons surÂżng FineArtAmerica and elsewhere.

Musical recycling Islands Folk Festival: Green theme, familiar intimacy and all kinds of music keep the event going strong Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
E
cology and environment is the green theme of next weekend’s Islands Folk Festival. IFF, in its 28th year at Providence Farm, is toasting its green sheen as an eco-example to other festivals, explained Robert McCourty, artistic director of the hosting Cowichan Folk Guild. “With site recycling, becoming a zerowaste event is one of our goals and we were one of the ¿rst festivals to do so. “We’re putting our money where our theme is.” Ecology is the theme of this year’s Islands Songwriting Contest, being judged Friday. Eco-kids’ workshops on the environment are also being hosted by The Kerplunks, a Rakish Angles member and Linda Rodgers. “The whole energy is toward music helping sustainability,” McCourty said of IFF 28 backed by 400-odd volunteers. Bass veteran Steve McKinnon has played IFF since 1991, and supports the event’s environmental initiatives that have gained strength since then. “Our festival is a great testament to what the original people (IFF founders) have left,” he said, ready for performing-MC duty again this year on the Islands stage — among six venues — under renovations with a $15,000 B.C. gaming grant. McKinnon cited light-and-sound quality as key to the festival. “That’s what made people come to our festival in the 1990s.” One returning IFF fan on this year’s roster of 50-some acts is iconic coastal troubadour Valdy, who recently earned the Order of Canada. “The Islands Folk Festival is delightful,” Sir Valdy said of the Friday-to-Sunday arts bash perennially capped at 3,000 tickets. “There are few festivals left of such a (manageable) human scale. They grow exponentially to take up all available space, and that hasn’t happened at the IFF — I don’t feel crowded when I’m there.” Neither does McKinnon. Andrew Leong/¿le “You can’t get too big by virtue of the Maggie Rich, of the Vancouver Island University tech crew, records the live performance of the Jayme Stone Band with her iPad and (Providence) space.” simultaneously streams it onto the big screen during last year’s Islands Folk Festival. But the site’s more than ample to hold a
ring of vendors, food sellers, a popular KidsZone, beverage garden and more under the wink of Mount Tzouhalem. “Ours is a more intimate setting, a bit more family friendly, with a very good vibe of community and music — and that makes us very special,” McCourty said. Special enough some folks test Cowichan’s fest and get hooked. “I’m still amazed after 28 years some people don’t even know we have a folk festival here. Where have they been?” McCourty asked. “About 75% of our attendees are returnees. I’m trying to appeal to that other 25% — allow yourself to have some fun for a weekend, and you’ll have memories for a lifetime.” Memories of scarce parking are becoming history as many folks ride festival shuttles to hear global acts McCourty starts booking a year or more in advance. “We’re comparable to larger festivals — it’s a world-class line up.” He applauded Irish musician of the year, Niamh Ni Charra; British and European festival favourite Shooglenifty; Turkishdelight HuDost; Canadian songsmith John Brooks; songbird Mary Gauthier; world-music masters Minor Empire; dynamic folk duo Stephen Fearing and Andy White; Celtic crusaders Rant Maggie Rant; Austin’s rockabilly Atomic Duo; and the U.K.’s 100 Mile House who mark IFF 28’s musical menu with festival-founders Deb Maike, and Mike Ballantyne with the Hokum Steamers. They’re all part of what IFF faithful see as the best little fest in the west. “We’re not getting bigger, we’re getting better,” McCourty said.

Your Veterinarian... your other Family Doctor Dear Doctor: I bought a topical flea product that says it is only for dogs. Why can’t I use it on my cat? Gillian Wiley Veterinarian
A: Be very cautious with the products that are labelled: FOR USE ON DOGS
ONLY. These products are concentrated permethrins and are very toxic to cats. In fact there are some products that warn against their use even if there are cats in the same household. Cats are unable to properly metabolize this type of chemical resulting in neurologi-
cal signs ie. trembling, convulsing and death. Monitor their effectiveness on your dog because fleas have developed resistance to some of these compounds. You may need to apply them more often than the label recommendation.

October 26th 1946 – July 2nd 2012 With great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Ejner Hansen at his home in Duncan, B.C. Ejner was born in Vojens, Denmark on October 26, 1946. He came to Canada with his parents and two sisters in 1957. He was predeceased by his father Jen in 2008. he is survived by his dear friend Gail and her family, his mother Johanne, daughter Kerri (Jay) Tranberg, Dana (Brian) Jackman, Shannon Hansen, Toni Hansen, Jenny (Brent) Bowden and their families, sisters Birthe (Phil) Weiten, Kirsten Wilkinson (Paul) and their families. Ejner also leaves behind nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren and his canine companion Jackson. At a very young age Ejner began his professional career as a welder by his father’s side at Jens Hansen Ornamental Iron, Welding and Repair. Later he went on to Duncan Iron Works, ProMac, Hayes Logging and after many years of selfemployment with Hansen’s Rail and Repair he then retired to enjoy the many passions he loved. He loved music, singing, dancing, his beautiful Rhododendrons, as well as his collector cars and his 1928 Ford Model A Hot Rod. Ejner loved his family. He was a sensitive man with a sentimental heart; he enjoyed celebrations and holidays where everyone came together. Christmas was always a traditional gathering he enjoyed. Ejner looked forward to the summer when the boat came out and time for camping and fishing with family and friends. He loved animals and the great outdoors . Ejner was a good friends to all, he was always there if you needed him to give a hand or lend a shoulder to cry on. He will be missed by all the people he touched in his life. Lift a glass and wish him well, he was here for a good time, not a long time.

KONN, Frieda December 27, 1926 – July 9th, 2012. It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Frieda Konn. She was a loving, caring and forever faithful mother and grandmother. Her children and grandchildren were always first and foremost in her thoughts and prayers. She loved them very much. Frieda was a brave hard working woman, immigrating to Canada from Germany with a girlfriend in 1950. She had a zest for adventure. She was always making sure her children were happy and receive the very best she could offer them. Her house and kitchen were always open to friends and family. She always kept herself busy. If not helping her husband building houses, she was cooking, gardening, waitressing and even running a catering business. Prior to coming to Canada Frieda was a school teacher in Poland. In 1952 she married her loving husband Gustav and moved to Duncan from Vancouver. Frieda was predeceased by her husband Gustav, brothers Otto and Ewald, sister Alma. She is survived by her sister-in-laws Hulda Kerber and Alwine Haupt, children Willi (Debbie) Konn, Doris (Bob) Bieberdorf, grandchildren; William, Amanda, Stanley, Rene, Tenneh, Valendy, Valencia. Frieda also leaves behind many nieces, nephews and dear friends. A special thank you to Dr. Pullan, the staff at Cowichan Lodge and Sunridge Place and her companion Jola. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Trinity Lutheran Church, 2704 James Street on Monday July 16th at 1:00 PM with burial to follow at Mountain View Cemetery followed by a reception. If wishing, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Let not your heart be troubled, I go to prepare a place for you. And I will come again and receive you to Myself; That where I am, There you be also. John 14: 1-3 FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL SERVICES

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Pat. He had been fighting a battle with Cancer since Sept 2004. He had a relapse for a while but it finally reared its ugly head again. Pat was predeceased by his parents & 7 brothers. He is survived by many nephews & nieces in England & Australia. He was happily married to his childhood sweetheart, Connie, for almost 60 years. They have known each other since the age of 14 & Connie attended Pat’s 16th Birthday party. They became engaged before he went into the RAF for 2 years National Service & were married in November 1952. Pat left school at age 14 & was apprenticed for 7 years eventually becoming a Master electrician. Pat & Connie emigrated to Toronto, Canada in March 1957 & unfortunately the only job he was offered was on the DEW line, which meant him going off to the northern part of Quebec on a 2 year contract, with no leave for 6 months. Connie was devastated so he turned this down. After 6 weeks of looking for work he obtained a job with the Royal Bank of Canada, first as a messenger, then as a chauffeur driving the AGM around. He later changed to driving with the Toronto Transit Commission where he hel several different positions, including a few years with Gray Coach Lines where he was on Charters. He was a TTC Inspector for a time. He made many good friends on the TTC where he completed 30 years service. When he retired he & his wife were Snowbirds & used to drive to Florida for 4 months, stopping at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on the way back. Finally after spending one winter in Toronto, we finally discovered there was a western Canada, having previously thinking that Canada ended at Niagara Falls. One of our oldest friends whom we had known since the age of 18 told us he had built a retirement home overlooking the ocean in Saltair on Vancouver Island. We flew out for a visit in May 1994, fell in love with the Island & purchased a home in the Properties of Maple Bay. After a trip to the U.K. we returned thoroughly depressed & bought a beautiful view lot on Kaspa Rd where we had our Dream house built. We enjoyed Cruising, sailed from Seattle across the Pacific to New Zealand & Australia. We also went through the Panama Canal, & across the Atlantic to Europe, plus several smaller cruises. We love our present home & fortunately Pat was able to spend the last few weeks of his life here. The Home Care Support tem & the Nurses at VIHA were fantastic & kept him comfortable. He became very weak but peaceful & slipped away at 2.01 p.m. on Saturday July 7th with good friends & his wife, Connie, present. Final arrangements are being handled by H.W.Wallace, 251 Jubilee street, Duncan V9L 1W8. There will be no Funeral by request, Pat will be cremated. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation, 4-466 Trans Canada Highway, Duncan B.C. or the Canadian Cancer Society of the Charity of your choice. There will be a Celebration of Life held in a few weeks time. Pat loved people & would want to be remembered with joy & laughter, not sadness. Don’t Be Sad When I Die When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to comfort you, please know that I still love you, cause I know you love me too. When tomorrow starts without me, and you feel lost and blue, I hope these words I’ve written will help to see you through. Someday your pain will ease, Sadness replaced by fond memories Come tomorrow you will hear I love you whispered on the breeze. When tomorrow starts without me Cause God has called me home I turn, blowing a kiss for thee Sad that you may feel alone. I will miss you tomorrow As I take one last glimpse A tear falls from my cheek I’ll be going home. And tomorrow will start without me.

PETS REMEMBERED
PETS REMEMBERED
BEAR WOODWARD September 15th, 2001 – July 10th, 2012 We are extremely sad to announce the passing of our beloved beautiful girl, Bear. We had so many happy and memorable years with her and will miss her so very much. Only those who have loved and lost a pet will understand our loss. We will always remember you and we’ll never ever forget you. REST IN PEACE BEAR. With heartfelt thanks to Dr. Al Longair, Joanne and staff of Mt. Prevost Veterinary Clinic for all your care and compassion, and thank you Al for going over and above your call of duty. Also thank you to Bob Huber for all your support at the end. With all our love always, Bear, Mummy, Daddy and Rascal, Joanne & Dave, Gary & Eleric.

he Davey Derby has been such a success it basically sells itself and hooks sponsors and avid anglers into participating without hesitation. “It’s really taken off,’’ said organizer Audie Williams of the Dave Nicholson Memorial Benevolent Fund event, now in its 12th year. Fishermen and sponsors alike are gearing up again for the weekend of July 20 through 22 at the Port Renfrew Marina. Everybody Williams contacts is thrilled to be part of it, regardless of any economic hardship or other circumstances because the cause is so great. “They’ve been more than happy to be involved with this,’’ he said. “There’s just more and more people getting on board every year. We are proud of what we’ve been able to do so far.’’ The derby has raised $130,000 for a variety of great causes since its inception. It started out as a fundraiser for the Nicholson family after Dave’s death from cancer, but proceeds after the third year went directly to charities when the family got back on its feet. The ¿shing, the camaraderie and the prizes are what makes the derby great. Every year, Williams lines up an incredible selection of prizes thanks to generous donors. The grand prize for the largest ¿sh is a 9.9 Yamaha High Thrust motor co-sponsored by Linda Slader at the Mortgage Centre and Monti’s Boat Sales.

uncan’s Barton brothers inherited some signi¿cant rugby genes. Randall and George Barton have both utilized their natural talents passed along from dad Bruce, who starred with Cowichan Rugby Club teams for many years. But Randall and George both enjoyed a bunch of different sports — football, lacrosse, soccer, basketball and wrestling — before ¿nding rugby best suited their skill level. Randall even played ice hockey for a year. “I thought they should try them all and let them decide,’’ said Bruce. “When I was growing up we had Little League baseball and that was it till high school.’’ It was a busy time in the Barton household while the guys were all over the place for sports. “There was long nights and sometimes they’d double up,’’ said Bruce. “Sometimes we’d be getting home at nine or 10 o’clock at night.’’ But it was all good and helped in the boys’ development now that they’re basically specializing in rugby. “De¿nitely the basketball helped me with my co-ordination,’’ said Randall. Usually, forwards (in rugby) don’t have good hands. I think I have pretty decent hands.’’ “I think the physicality of wrestling helped me most,’’ said George. Mini rugby at the Herd Road Grounds was the basis for the Barton boys to learn the skills in the game that have carried them forward. George was out there running around at the age of three. “It helped me a lot,’’ he said. “It got me into watching Randy and my dad the most.’’
The Barton boys, George, left, and Randall have already experienced numerous rugby successes. George went to U12 when he was just eight and U14 when he was nine as part of a continued rapid progression, typical of both brothers. Randall’s rugby resume includes: U14 Island Tide, 2008 Summer Games team in Kelowna, U16 North Island Tsunami, U14 B.C., U16 Tide, U16 B.C. Gold that went to the nationals last year in Calgary, U18 Tsunami, a U17 B.C. team that went to California and the U17 national team. George played U14 B.C. for two years as well as going with the Tide to the 2010 B.C. Summer Games. The U16 Tsunami and Howlers sevens have been his latest claims to fame. Randall’s U17 national experience included a trip to the Wellington International Festival this year in England with an amazing ¿eld of international teams. “It was de¿nitely something I wasn’t used to,’’ said Randall. “All the different teams came together at the end. We learned a lot from the experience.’’ The team won against Belgium and lost close games to England and France. “It de¿nitely helped me with my physicality,’’ said Randall. “At the international festival, everyone wants to win and be the best and they were de¿nitely giving 100 per
Don Bodger
cent.’’ Randall’s place on the Shawnigan Lake School First XV resulted in appearances at the world youth tournament in Japan and a successful B.C. high school title defence. The team came 10th in Japan, but beat the eventual champs. “We de¿nitely gained a lot of respect after that,’’ said Randall. As for the provincials, “it was de¿nitely a lot of pressure on us,’’ he added. “We didn’t have many fans there. We got booed when we came on the ¿eld. That just pushed us and we used it to our advantage.’’ George was part of the U14 B.C. team that won the nationals over Ontario in overtime in Calgary last year. “It was more stressful than anything,’’ he said. “It’s a big step up playing with people that are just as skilled as you.’’ George moved up to the Grade 10 team at Shawnigan Lake School in the fall while still in Grade 9. He recently returned from Germany with the B.C. sevens youth elite. Bruce went along as an assistant coach of the team that went 3-2 for third place. “It’s more enjoyable, you go out there and sprint for 15 minutes,’’ said George. “You have to keep up with faster guys and you can’t miss, obviously.
our CVAC Jaguars athletes maintained their high standards in the Trevor Craven memorial track and ¿eld meet at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. Chicago Bains won the midget girls’ 200-metre hurdles in 28.31 seconds and also placed second in the 80-metre hurdles in 12.22. It’s the ¿rst time this season Bains hasn’t ¿nished ¿rst. “I kind of lost focus,’’ she said. “I kind of hit all the hurdles.’’ She still ¿nished just 0.11 seconds behind Nina Schultz of New West in the 80. “It was really good competition out there,’’ said Bains, who will be striving to get back on top in the Coquitlam and B.C.

She was also second in the 200 in 26.21 and ¿fth in the 400 in 1:03.48. Mary-Kate Cross, another women’s youth category entry, was just behind Baker in third in the 100 metres after clocking 12.75. She ¿nished third in the 200 in 26.75. Rounding out the local entries was Austin Palou in the men’s youth division. He placed fourth in the 300-metre hurdles in 42.95 and ninth in the 200 in 24.47. All four of the athletes, along with Colby Peleshaty, will be going to the national championships in Prince Edward Island in August. “The training’s going good, just getting ready,’’ said Bains. A beer and burger pub night fundraiser is being held for the athletes on July 29 at the Cowichan Bay Pub. Tickets are $20 which includes a cheese, veggie or chicken burger plus one mug of domestic draught beer, a bottled cider or beer or a glass of domestic wine. Half of the total from each ticket goes to the athletes. Information is available on the CVAC Jaguars website. Donations are also still needed to send the athletes on their way to national stardom.
