Reunion ride set: Local man still missing two decades after setting out for a bike ride near Skutz Falls Maeve Maguire
News Leader Pictorial
M
ohammed (Mo) Shah loved to ride his mountain bike around the Cowichan Valley. On Aug. 13, 1992, Shah rode up a track at Skutz Falls for what would be the last
time. Anne Khan, Shah’s sister-in-law, described what happened. “He parked his truck at Skutz Falls, visited with some friends, then took his bike out of his truck, put on his pack sack, and headed down the trail around 8:30 in the evening.” Shah hasn’t been seen since. His disappearance initiated nearly a month-long search, including a ¿nancial reward for anyone who could Mo Shah: help with the investigation. what happened? “One of Mo’s brothers posted a reward and it was left in effect for a while but nothing came of it so he took it down,”” Kh Khan said. id Shah’s family has never given up hope of ¿nding answers to what happened to him. Khan described what it is like to live with this tragedy. “It’s very stressful and upsetting to know our loved one is missing. We don’t know where he is and if he’s still alive or if he’s dead. What happened to him? Personally I think foul play was involved. That’s our feeling.” Mo’s love for mountain biking has inspired the family to organize the Walk/Ride for Mo Shah event. The public is invited to join Khan and the rest of Shah’s family and friends to ride a bike or walk the Trans-Canada Trail from Boundary Road in Lake Cowichan to Skutz Falls on Sunday Aug. 12, nearly 20 years to the day Shah disappeared. The group will meet at Boundary Road at 10:15 a.m. For those who can’t participate but want to support the family, there is a gathering at the Skutz Falls parking lot for the participants at noon. The event is likely to be an emotional one for family and friends. Khan and her husband — Shah’s brother — returned to Skutz Falls recently for the ¿rst time since Shah’s disappearance. more on page 6

Cyclist injured in Cobble Hill collision, tour bus passengers OK in separate incident A bicyclist was hit by a car the afternoon of July 29 on Cobble Hill Road near Fisher Road. The 39-year-old male on the bike, a resident of Lanztville, suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries after a collision with a 2012 Toyota Camry, according to Shawnigan Lake RCMP. The B.C. Ambulance Service and Shawnigan Lake Fire Department also attended the scene.
UP FRONT
The man was taken by ambulance to Victoria General Hospital. The 68-year-old driver of the car from Courtenay was not injured. Investigation determined both parties were heading east on Cobble Hill Road. The cyclist began to turn around to assist a partner with a flat tire, but did not see the car coming from behind and was hit.
Earlier that day, Shawnigan RCMP responded to a bus crash (left) on the Malahat. The 2012 Ford passenger bus had 15 people on board, but there were no injuries. The bus, owned by a tour company from the Lower Mainland, went out of control on the right side of the road and came to rest on a cement barricade.

Lightning strikes in Maple Bay yard Sparks Åy: Electrical storm lights up the valley sky, causes power outages in south end Don Bodger

T
uesday night’s lightning and thunder storm struck a little too close to home for Ian and Mollyanne Baker. A portion of a large Garry oak tree in the couple’s yard on Westlock Road off Maple Bay Road split after being hit by lightning. There was no damage to the house, other than one broken window, but fragments of the bark and branches Àew right onto the roof. Debris from the tree covered the front of the house before the Bakers put a clean-up campaign into operation Wednesday. “Fortunately, it didn’t hit the house, but it’s made one heckuva mess in our
garden,’’ said Mollyanne. “No one was hurt, but it really is a mess in our yard.’’ The Bakers were actually unaware of what had happened until alerted by a neighbour after the storm rumbled through and lit up the sky for a while around 7 p.m. “We were having dinner outside with a friend,’’ Mollyanne explained. “We heard the crash and the bang of the thunder and we thought, ‘boy, that’s close.’’’ The Bakers hadn’t heard the noise made by the tree branches coming down because the thunder was so loud. The neighbour who witnessed the lightning hitting the tree rushed over to make sure everything was OK with the Bakers. “He said it was like a bomb explod-
ing,’’ said Mollyanne. “It went straight up and straight down.’’ The friend who was with the Bakers had luckily parked their car in a different spot than usual. Otherwise, “it would have been a sardine can,’’ said Mollyanne. The Garry oak is probably a couple of hundred years old, the Bakers believe. It was rocking in the wind a bit the next day so they were going to have it checked for stability just in case. “You can see the size of the limbs,’’ said Mollyanne. “It’s just enormous. They’re beautiful, but they’re dangerous.’’ Caring neighbours dropped in Wednesday morning offering clean-up assistance and even cranberry juice and lemon cake for the Bakers. Meanwhile, also on Westlock, Tracey Morrison
reports the lightning blew a light switch off the wall in her home. “Now none of our electrical appliances work,” she said. “It even killed the Shaw box.” According to BC Hydro spokesman Jerry Muir, the hardest hit region of the valley was in the south end. Multiple strikes occurred just before 7 p.m. and shortly thereafter.
“The outages were a direct result of lightning strikes to BC Hydro equipment and largely concentrated in Cobble Hill and Shawnigan Lake areas, he told the News Leader Pictorial in an email. Up to 300 customers in the area were impacted and all service was restored by 3:30 a.m. — with a ¿le from John McKinley
What to do in a lightning storm If you are in a building, stay inside away from windows, doors, fireplaces, radiators, stoves, metal pipes, sinks or anything else that could conduct an electrical charge. Unplug all TVs, radios, coffee pots and other electrical appliances. Don’t use the phone or other electrical equipment. If you are outside, seek shelter in a building, cave or any depressed area. If there is no shelter, crouch down with your feet close together and your head down. Don’t lie flat; minimize your contact with the ground to reduce the risk of being electrocuted by a ground charge. Keep away from pay phones, power lines, fences, trees and hilltops. Get off bicycles, motorcycles and any other equipment such as tractors. If you are in a vehicle, pull over and stop away from trees or power lines and stay inside your vehicle.

Bruising is more common as we get older. Tiny blood vessels, called capillaries in our skin become more fragile and are more likely to rupture. Also the skin and contains less fat so there is less protection for the capillaries.

Woman down 180 pounds and counting What you eat: Woman shares how she’s cut her weight in half by eating foods found in the local grocery store Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
C
atherine Dunstan was sick of being fat. At 388 pounds in June 2011, her mobility was curbed by a 2004 car accident, and she faced knee replacement. Gastric surgery was also being contemplated to get Dunstan’s weight down. She’d tried pills, various plans, diets and other weight-loss methods. Then Dunstan discovered ketosis, a way of burning fat, instead of sugar from carbohydrates, for energy. “Ketosis is a state of metabolism of the human body,” the 51-year-old dog trainer and horse owner said. “It’s been around a long time but no doctor told me about it — it was all ‘diet and exercise.’” But a friend was touting costly packaged foods along the premise of ketosis, and Dunstan explained how she forged her own key to unlocking weight loss by eating local foods. “I researched, and read food labels, and looked at health-food products to ¿t the parameters of things I’d enjoy ingesting. I didn’t want to eat cardboard, and I’m a great cook. “I have the disease of obesity but I was getting the information that actually worked.” And how. “In the ¿rst three months I lost 50 pounds, and blew myself away. I thought, ‘Holy crap, it works.’” Dunstan will share how ketosis works, and her weight-loss journey, during an Aug. 10 session called Life in the Fat Lane: Finding The Exit at 7 p.m. in the

Catherine Dunstan was 388 pounds a little more than a year ago. Shawnigan Lake Community Centre. “Nothing else worked, except this. Today I’m down 185 pounds to 203 today, from 388 pounds.” Getting those results basically meant tossing carbs that produce sugar, and replacing them with a lowcarb diet and protein. For Dunstan, fruit, dairy, potatoes, chocolate, processed foods, grains, breads, cereals, and alcohol are gone. “No booze; it’s straight sugar — it’s a killer.”
They’ve been replaced by various high-¿bre vegetables, protein drinks for breakfast, plus various unprocessed meats, ¿sh and foul. Coffee, tea, eggs, some hard cheeses, and olive oil and grape-seed oil for cooking, are OK too. Dunstan also takes a daily multi-vitamin, calcium and phosphorus supplements and vitamin D, plus ¿brelike Metamusil. “I can eat white mushrooms, spinach, salad greens, cauliÀower, red
peppers, broccoli, celery, endive, zucchini, and I found a recipe for low-carb bread.” The mother of two also found nutritional scales to give her the picture about ketosis foods that can include almonds, pistachios, and tofu. “I’m always looking for (replacement) products. “I didn’t want to feel deprived,” she said, noting kelp and soy pasta, and many other nutritious foods, are sold at the Duncan Garage Market, Thrifty’s and elsewhere. “Many things in regular grocery stores can replace these (carb-based) things, even if you’re traveling.” Used in a balanced fashion, she said, ketosis is very healthy. “The ¿rst thing I recommend is getting your doctor on board. Ketosis is a natural way to change your metabolism. “I’m way healthier than I was on June 1, 2011,” she said, working with a ferrier at her home. “I breathe and sleep better, and I’m not facing surgery; my cholesterol is better. I’d liked to have known about ketosis a long time ago.” Dunstan’s next goal is 150 pounds to snub society’s myths about overweight folks. “Our culture thinks if you’re fat, you’re just lazy with no self control.” For more, email renewme@shaw.ca.

Zurrer proud as teammates rise to bring bronze age to Canadian soccer Cowichan kicker: soccer star cheering hard for teammates through dramatic journey Don Bodger

V
alley soccer star Emily Zurrer was not on the ¿eld to receive a bronze medal with her Canadian women’s soccer teammates during ceremonies at the London 2012 Olympics Thursday. But Zurrer, 25, has been with the team every step of the way and still shared in the triumph for her part leading up to the games that she couldn’t participate in due to a hamstring injury. “So many moments in this journey that this team has had to rise and we did,’’ she tweeted after Canada’s 1-0 victory over France in the dying seconds of injury time in the second half. Zurrer suffered a pre-tournament injury and tried to get back on the ¿eld in time for the second game against South Africa, but aggravated her hamstring and was forced to give up accreditation to allow Marie-Eve Nault to play in her place. “She really wanted to get back in,’’ said dad Rob Zurrer, who now lives on the Lower Mainland. “They didn’t think she should.’’ Emily’s mom Leslie, who runs the Embellish store in downtown Duncan, and sister Annie were both in London with her. Rob observed Emily was in uniform on the ¿eld with her teammates after the bronze medal victory. “That’s the ¿rst indication I had she was still a member of the team,’’
Herdman with her sheer determination to make it back into the starting lineup, as Olympic preparations drew to a conclusion. “She fought so hard, he had to put her back,’’ said Rob. But the injury during a pre-tournament camp in Switzerland set her back. Ironically, “she has never been injured,’’ Rob added. “It is awful timing for my ¿rst serious injury, but I’ve accepted it and am ready to represent the Cowichan Valley and my country off the pitch this time,’’ she wrote in a previous email to the News Leader Pictorial.

Soccer’s tough handball rule needs changing Too much: Penalty far outweighs the crime
I
n the debate raging across our country about of¿ciating in the wake of Canada’s heartbreaking Olympic women’s soccer loss to the United States Monday, and in the relief of yesterday’s bronze medal against the Àow of play, an important point about the sport is being missed. The rule that awards a direct penalty kick to the attacking team in the wake of a defender’s handball in the penalty area is a punishment grossly disproportionate to the crime. We don’t have space to get into a complete breakdown here, but we crunched some numbers on what a penalty during the course of a match can cost the offending team in terms of hurting its Direct free chances of winning. (Check our online kick too much edition for an explanation.) According to our calculations, it of a competireduces a volleyball team’s chance of tive advantage victory by 1.3 per cent. For a basketball team, the number is a little higher — 1.6 per cent. Hockey is much harsher. A penalty on the ice can put you ¿ve per cent further away from your ultimate goal. But soccer is nuts. A handball in the penalty area of soccer can reduce your chances of winning by a whopping 38 per cent. To say a handball in soccer is eight times more egregious than an attacking zone hold in hockey, or 25 times worse than a chop to the shooting arm in basketball is ridiculous. Why does a foul that is often accidental and rarely affects a scoring chance draw such a stiff penalty? It’s wrong, and changing it will make the game better. The powers-that-be in soccer will laugh at this. Few institutions are as steeped in tradition; few as conservative, or resistant to change. They will retreat to the truism: “we have a great game.” But they will ignore another truism: “that which is great can still be made better.” It’s a lesson not only for the sporting world, but for the world in general.
We say:
Seeing both sides of: Local government buying local The case against
The case for Local government is from the people, by the people and for the people. It stands to reason that when it shops, it shops local. The dollars it spends are injected into the local community. They benefit people locally. And they are eventually pumped back into local government coffers through local taxation. Never mind the great example it sets. Everyone wins.
Duncan’s anniversary totem will be carved by acclaimed Port Hardy-area Native artist Calvin Hunt.
Tax dollars are hard to come by. Local residents deserve the best bang for their buck. If local products and services are not competitive with those being offered elsewhere, then local government is selling the taxpayer short by spending more for less. All things being equal, then local-first is the best policy. But if things aren’t equal, then better should beat local.
Pipeline posturing won’t change Enbridge reality Tom Fletcher Black Press
T
he B.C. Liberal government is taking its new hard-line approach to federal environmental hearings on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal in September. Environment Minister Terry Lake has ¿led the B.C. government’s notice to cross-examine Enbridge, one of the world’s biggest pipeline operators. Lake outlined the “tough questions” B.C. representatives will ask about spill response capacity on land and sea, tanker escort tugboats, pipe wall thickness, and Enbridge’s sluggish response to a pipeline rupture in Michigan. That’s all ¿ne, and to be expected after Premier Christy Clark’s high-pro¿le confrontation with Alberta Premier Alison Redford going into the recent premiers’ meeting in Halifax. Clark’s demands for “world-leading” safety and spill response, as well as meeting the constitutional obligation to consult and accommodate
Aboriginal groups along the route, are mostly a statement of the obvious. Her call for a “fair share” of proceeds from exported oil to reÀect B.C.’s risk has been assaulted from all sides. Pipeline opponents seized on Clark’s suggestion that a major oil spill might be tolerable if there was enough money in it for B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix picked up the theme as he conducted his own belated tour of the proposed route to reiterate his opposition. There had been earlier hints from Alberta that B.C. might need further rewards for the risk. But when Clark made the “fair share” demand public, Redford was moved to channel Margaret Thatcher, declaring: “The Premier of Alberta is not going to blink on royalties.” All this political theatre doesn’t amount to much. I’ll stand by my January prediction that the Enbridge proposal is unlikely to proceed, mainly due to the tangled state of Aboriginal claims. Wealthy U.S. foundations that view the B.C. North Coast as their 500-year eco-experiment will be happy to help fund a decade of legal chal-
BC VIEWS
lenges, while continuing the media-spinning and protest support they are doing now. Even if some way can be found to levy a B.C. tax on revenues from the Northern Gateway pipeline, it’s no solution. For one thing, it would confer an advantage to the Trans-Mountain pipeline that has been shipping Alberta oil to Burnaby and the U.S. for more than 60 years. The competing expansion proposal by TransMountain’s current owner, Kinder Morgan, shows the inconsistency of opposition to pipelines. Does anyone really believe that a new pipeline built to the highest standards ever would be too dangerous, while a 60-year-old pipeline is acceptable? Protesters have an easy target in Kinder Morgan. With a tenfold increase to 25 tankers a month proposed to sail under the Lions Gate bridge, a heavy oil spill from Second Narrows to Stanley Park would be catastrophic to Vancouver’s environment and economy. Tankers have made that trip safely nearly 100 years, but the congested modern shipping lane offers more threat of col-
lision, and clearing Burrard Inlet for near-daily tanker transits would disrupt the rest of B.C.’s shipping trade. An Angus Reid poll last week showed as many as half of respondents remain open-minded about the costs and bene¿ts of new oil pipelines across B.C. Unlike B.C. politicians, they seem interested in learning more before making up their minds. Dix and the NDP ran to the front of the antipipeline parade early, as they did with the carbon tax and other issues. Clark began the Northern Gateway discussion with a principled position to wait for the result of the federal review, but that’s apparently out the window with an election looming.

A long July is a great July
Dear editor The Summer Festival (39 days in July) in downtown Duncan has been a great time. We are sorry to see it ¿nally wrap up during the long weekend. We keep the green schedule handy in the kitchen and hasten to the train station when thebmusic (or theatre) looks most promising. But sometimes the performer we see by chance is the greatest discovery. Sometimes I can’t stop to enjoy, but it’s good to see it happening as I drive or cycle by. We should have this every year. We really thank the hard-working Longevity John Falkner, his team, and MNP and the many other sponsors and presenters. What a pleasure it is to be in Duncan for a long July! Bob and Helen Nation

SPOTLIGHT
The circle route is getting easier to circle. Work is underway on a new two-lane bridge at Harris River crossing, located about 30 kilometres southeast of Lake Cowichan on the way to Port Renfrew. According to a press release from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the project will cost $1.2 million. The bridge will replace the old single-lane bridge
and is meant to improve safety and reliability for commuters and visitors alike. The $1.2 million contract has been awarded to Don Mann Excavating Ltd. of Victoria. Work began in June of this year and is set to finish sometime near the end of September. According to the press release, the new bridge will enhance the marine environment on this portion of the
Harris River by restoring the natural stream channel to improve stream flow, fish passage, and fish habitat. “The Upper Harris Bridge is located on a busy and popular stretch of highway in the Port Renfrew area, and the new structure will make travelling this route safer and more enjoyable for residents and tourists alike,” states Blair Lekstrom, minister of transportation and infrastructure.

Reich, 46, was proud of her outback outcome after facing her fear of animals. “I was literally shaking; I’m afraid of bears and cougars — creatures of the night,” the of¿ce administrator with Western Stevedoring told the News Leader Pictorial the morning after. “But with our team, I felt I was in capable hands that wouldn’t let anything wrong happen.” Williams, 64, a retired vice-president of Hiram Walker Distillers, was high on gaining outdoor survival skills from local professionals after camping under tents and tarps on Prevost sites marked by glow-sticks. “Cowichan’s (50-member) SAR group is probably the most inclusive group I’ve ever joined — everybody, without exception, wants to involve and engage you, and share their experience.” Bush experience to ¿nd lost folks complements Justice Institute courses in various skills during the 90-hour SAR certi¿cation program.
“You’re not allowed to do anything you’re not trained to do,” Williams said. Smarts in swift-water rescue, helicopter evacuation, ropes, tracking, ¿rst-aid, rappelling and more can be learned and mastered by members often reciting helpful acronyms. LAST reminds members to Locate, Assess, Stabilize and Transport. STOP symbolizes Stop, Think, Observe, and Plan at rescue scenes. Williams wanted to match words with helpful action. “When I retired, I was looking for something to do for myself, and my community. “I didn’t want to volunteer on boards, but wanted something more direct, and SAR offered me that. “It’s a good ¿t for me,” the marathon cyclist and hiker said. Reich found Search and Rescue an outlet for helping Cowichanians in dire straits after loved ones go missing. “I felt like a helpless citizen when searches were conducted here for people such as Tyeshia Jones, and one homeless guy. “Being a mother myself, and seeing Tyeshia’s mom in the media, you feel like you want to help them.” Helping starts with packing the right stuff for the ¿eld, where things can be unforgiving. “On every task, “ said Williams, “we each carry a 24-hour pack to sustain the SAR member, and the subject, for that period of time — we become their saviours.” That means making warmth, water, and ¿rstaid and food available once a missing person is found. “You should never have anything in your pack that you don’t know how to use — everything

Again, SAR veterans share their knowledge about the best and mandatory gear. Searching starts when the call comes. “Members are prepared to give up their time,” Williams said. “SAR is a huge commitment and nobody moans about it.” “Everyone is called out,” Reich said. “Those who can go, do.” Then comes the footwork.
““‘You have to ha focus your fo mind on mi the task,” said Reich. sai ‘“What’s ‘“W the goal?’ ““You’re constantly con re-evalureating ti what
you’re doing, and why.” Finding a body brings closure to the victim’s family, while some members receive counselling for the tragic ordeal, she explained. Discipline follows SAR training twice a month, course upgrades, and mock searches on unknown terrain, by the volunteer crew headquartered at the Bing’s Creek transfer station. The learning curve is constant. “The journey’s only just begun,” said Williams.

Picnic offers all the intrigue two wheels can supply
picnic are well-known. Vehicle owners gather at Valleyview Centre to assemble a convoy for an idyllic drive through the pastoral scenery of Cowichan, eventually arriving at Brentwood College around noon. Then it’s on to the picnic lunch, the Junk in the Trunk sale (a garage sale-style Rotary fundraiser conducted out of the backs of cars) and a chance to show off your ride to the public. Knott says prizes will be awarded at 2:30 p.m. with not very serious categories, including best picnic. Mustering for the ride gets underway at 10:30 a.m., with the ride getting started at 11 a.m. Pre-registration and payment are required for both the car show and for Junk in the Trunk. Admission to view the cars is free.

Book on family with heart fundraising for Heart fund My Way: Cowichan author writes the story of her father Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
E
very family has its story to tell. Few of them get around to writing it all
down. But Colleen PimlottMarsel and her father, Norm Pimlott, put pen — and pictures — to paper in their 259-page memoir My Way!: Norm’s Ups and Downs on the Sea of Life. From each copy sold, they’ll hand $5 to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, a charity dear to PimlottMarsel after serving as a volunteer for years. And Norm, 87, survived quadruple open-heart surgery in May 1992 — another reason his Duncanbased daughter aims to help the foundation fund heart-disease research. “Dad’s always worked hard for the betterment of the community,” she said of her father who was a salesman, Oak Bay grocer, Oak Bay councillor, and chairman of the federal Veteran’s Appeal Board. “It’s a really nice story, about a man’s family too,”
Andrew Leong
Colleen Pimlott-Marsel and dad Norm with My Way! noted Pimlott-Marsel. That’s why the ¿rst-time author includes letters from her grandfather, James, and his roots in Manchester, England reaching back to 1882 on Pimlott Street. “I just wanted to have our history written down to share it with our family, and our future family,” she said of the book also covering the life of her mom, Ruth, a former legal secretary. “My biggest help,” said Norm, “was being married to the girl I’ve been with for 65 years. She was always there for me through thick and thin. “This book’s got humor throughout,” PimlottMarsel said. “You’ll want to meet my dad by the time you’re ¿nished it.” My Way! is sold at Heart and Stroke events, at its Cowichan of¿ce and Volume One Bookstore.

Flawless driving opens the door for Gait in feature
Western Speedway: Young phenom puts the pedal to the medal for Hornet race victory Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
T
Ken Keating (Illusion Photography)
Tristin Gait isn’t quite old enough yet to hug the trophy girls at Western Speedway, but he’s going to become a Äxture in the winner’s circle the way things are going.
ristin Gait is a shifty little guy, but quite the big wheel. The dynamic Duncan kid just turned 14 on March 29 this year, yet left everyone in the dust during the Hornet series feature event at Victoria’s Western Speedway Aug. 1. “He’s actually the youngest Hornet driver to win a main event,’’ said dad Marlin Gait, who owns Marlin Motors and got Tristin started early with so many cars at his disposal. “His mission before he turned eight years old was to drive a standard and he did that,’’ said Marlin. Tristin has dabbled in automatics but still prefers to drive a standard
and made his debut in dad’s Accura Integra during the historic win. “We’ve got 180 cars here,’’ said Marlin of Tristin’s selection. Tristin is sponsored by Steel Paci¿c and has been racing for about two years, mainly at Saratoga Speedway before getting into the action at Western. Tristin placed second in the main event during his ¿rst time racing a ¿gure eight at Saratoga. Marlin said Tristin just has a knack for racing that’s obviously rare for his age. “After the ¿rst few crashes, there is no fear,’’ said Marlin. “He has the natural ability to ¿nd the hole.’’ As soon as Tristin gets ahead, he knows the right line to take and how to bring a race to the desired conclusion. It was only the third time at West-
ern for Gait and he led a ¿eld of 17 cars to the green Àag in the feature. Gait built a sizable lead in the early laps while the others — including Duncan’s Brad Aumen — tried to sort themselves out. On lap 29, a yellow Àag came out for a spinning car on turn one and Aumen joined Gait on the front row for the double ¿le restart. On the green Àag, Gait got away clean and went back into the lead. On lap 38, the red Àag came out when a car caught on ¿re. Emergency crews rushed to extinguish the ¿re and check on driver Blair Davis. Of¿cials then threw the checkered Àag as it was doubtful anyone was going to catch Gait, who was Àawless throughout. Aumen ¿nished third.

Lake summer nights Älled with community entertainment
ON STAGE
Music and the great outdoors combine to bring joy to Lake Cowichan this summer. The Lake Summer Nights series is underway every Saturday at Central Park, offering an open stage for aspiring performers, regular headline entertainment for families (including magician Darren Charles, left), and a chance to help the local arts community.
“Each night features a different band, choir, soloist or other form of entertainment. Bring your folding chair, blanket or rough it and simply sit on the grass at Central Park (the corner of South Shore and North Shore Roads),” organizers state in a media release. “For the first hour, starting at 6:30 p.m., we will have an Open Stage segment where anyone
can apply to come on stage,” the release states. “All entertainment has been cleared to ensure it is family oriented. Pay us what you think the entertainment is worth when our volunteers come around for donations.” Summer Nights is being staged by a consortium of area not-for-profit organizations. The entertainment is expected to continue until Sept. 1.

Powwow preaches peace, harmony and connecting the Cowichans Get up and dance: annual event encourages beginners and experts to jump for joy Maeve Maguire
News Leader Pictorial

uncan Councillor Joe Thorne invites everyone — old and young, Native and non-Native — to the ninth-annual Khowutzun Warmland Intertribal PowWow held this weekend at the Cowichan Tribes Si’em Lelum Soccer Fields. This year’s pow-wow begins with the Grand Entry on Friday, Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. The public will enjoy prairie-style dancing with tribe members dressed in colourful regalia. Prayer, medicine, traditional, fancy, hoop dancing and prairie-style singing are all on the agenda.
Andrew Leong/¿le
Cowichan’s annual powwow traditionally attracts a wide range of dancers in spectacular regalia. According to Thorne, a pow-wow embraces everything that is good. “It’s about peace and harmony. It’s open to everyone. We have non-Native people who participate — they actually dance. It’s a lot of fun, there is a lot of laughter.” Thorne describes one of the partner dances called a potato dance.
“Pick a mate and imagine there is a potato between your two foreheads. Now dance. The MC might say touch the ground with one hand, or turn around. You don’t know where that potato is going to end up.” Entry is by donation with all proceeds towards the pow-wow events and equipment rentals. Thorne wants the event to remain accessible to everyone. “If you don’t have the money, no big deal. A quarter or a buck whatever you have you can donate.” There will be food vendors and arts and crafts, but Thorne says this is a substance-free event. “No alcohol; no drugs. We are here to meet and greet people and create new friendships.” Cowichan Tribes Si’em Lelum soccer ¿elds are located at 5574 River Road. Grand Entry times are Aug. 10, 7 p.m.; Aug. 11, 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.; Aug. 12, noon. Contact Tricia Thorne for more information 250-715-6125.

SALES, Olive Helen (Olly) Sept. 3, 1927 – Aug. 6, 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of OLIVE (Olly) SALES. Our loving and kind Mom was predeceased by her husband of 60 years, Ronald (Ron), in 2008 and her brother Harry Akerman. Olly will be lovingly remembered by her children Larry (Iryna) Sales, Doug (Pat) Sales, Marilyn (Earl) Blom, Sharon (Don) Fern, her nine grandchildren and three great grandchildren, her brother Gary Akerman and sister Diane (Kevin) Sherlock, sister-in-law Doreen (Vern) Hardie all of Winnipeg, MB., brother-in-law Ray Sales from Calgary and her many nieces and nephews. A special thank you goes to her sister-in-law Bev Sales for her regular visits and treats that Olly looked so forward to. Olly was a homemaker, a military wife, and a Mom who was always there with homemade cookies. Olly and Ron lived on several bases across Canada ďŹ nally retiring on Vancouver Island. Their passion for the outdoors and camping with their grandchildren and the Good Sam Club was a legacy they leave behind with many fond memories for all their friends and family. Family meant everything to both Mom and Dad and regular dinners and family parties were at the top of the list. Nana was a rock in the family and held us all together, never forgetting a birthday, anniversary, or any special occasion. The family wish to thank Dr. Manhas and all the exceptional caregivers who loved and cared for Mom in her ďŹ nal years at Sunridge Place. Your kindness will not be forgotten. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of owers a donation to your local legion would be appreciated. We love you Momma.
John Van Dyke Kinsella March 25, 1946 – August 4, 2012
SHEPPARD, Pamela Myrtle (nee Finter), of Duncan BC, passed away on July 7, 2012. Pam was born in Buckingham Bucks, England on the 7th day of December 1921 to Francis and Ellen Finter. Pam loved her early years at Akeley Wood, a large English estate where her father worked as a chauffeur. She fondly remembered walks in the woods where bluebells carpeted the ground beneath the beech trees. In 1936 the family moved to Guilford, Surrey, where her father worked as an auto-mechanic. Pam spent the ďŹ rst years of World War II in the Civil Defense in Guilford. In spite of her diminutive size, she drove huge supply lorries and ambulances. She then joined the ATS (Women’s Army Corps) and was posted to London where she drove staff cars and ambulances. After the war she was stationed at the 21st Army HQ in Hereford, Germany. She continued as a driver of staff cars, her most notable passengers being the military brass during the Nuremburg trials in Germany. Pam met her future husband, Canadian Army Captain Don Sheppard, during the war. They were wed in 1949 at Kitchener Ontario. They soon moved to BC and Pam’s life continued to be remarkable. Don was with Indian Affairs and they lived in some remote and wonderful places—just the thing for raising their three children: Gregory Sheppard, Anne Parry, and Pamela Van Alstyne. Don passed away in 1998.

Pam was very active in her church and community. In 1980 Pam was initiated in the of the Order of the Eastern Star, Sunset Chapter. She served many ofďŹ ces, including Worthy Matron in 1986 and a two-year appointment as Grand Representative of New Brunswick in 2008. She was a longstanding member of the IODE serving as the citizenship secretary. A member of The Royal Canadian Legion, she marched in every Remembrance Day Parade and sported a Veteran’s license plate on her car.

Pam was a gifted gardener, an intrepid hiker, and an avid hockey, curling, and tennis fan. She had a dry wit, keen intelligence, and an indomitable spirit. Liked and admired by all who knew her, she was, quite simply, great fun to be around.
Pam was a vital member of the Manzanita Hikers, an all-female group credited with saving the sanity (and marriages) of many of its members. Her last hike was Mt. Finlayson—at the age of 80.
Pam will be deeply missed by her many friends and family. Her wonderful spirit will live on in her eight grandchildren, and (so far) six great-grandchildren. In lieu of owers, memorial donations to Doctors Without Borders are encouraged. www.msf.ca/donate The memorial service will be held at 2pm, Thursday August 16th at St. Peters Anglican Church, 5800 Church Road (just off Maple Bay Road), Duncan.
It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of John Van Dyke Kinsella after a brief and courageous battle with cancer. Survived by his beloved wife, Anna, of 46 years and their ďŹ ve children Lee Anne (Luigi), Dawn, Nick (Emma), Kyle (Lacy) and Jodi; grandchildren Amber, Josiah, Sierra, Imajica, Giuliana, Aidan, Lorenzo and numerous nieces and nephews. Also survived by his two sisters Marilyn Kinsella, Canmore, AB and Judy (Don) McCaffery of Kanata, ON. He will be sadly missed by his close friends Erle and Sandy, Joyce and John. Van was born in Montreal, QB and was the youngest and only son of Nicolas and Ida Leona Kinsella. He met and married Anna in Montreal in 1966 where LeeAnne and Dawn were born. They moved to Kitimat, BC in 1970 where they had Nick and Kyle and then packed up and moved to Duncan, BC in 1973 where Jodi was born. Van started his career as a lab technician in the aero space industry, worked for Alcan in Kitimat and moved on to his 36 year career as a bleach plant operator at the Crofton Mill where he retired in 2010. He was very involved in his children’s lives, coaching or umpiring all of their ball teams. He loved to entertain and cook for his family and friends. He had a passion for music and ďŹ ne wine and will always be remembered for his extensive hot sauce collection and love for spicy food. His greatest love was his grandchildren. He was always there when they needed him. Each one held a special place in his heart. You could ďŹ nd him at school plays, on the beach, at the movies, dance recitals and often picking them up from school and taking them out for a treat. The family wishes to thank Dr. Tom Rimmer and Dr. Stacey MacDonald for their exceptional care and support as well as the nursing staff on 2 South at Cowichan District Hospital. They would also like to thank Justin at Festubert Pharmacy, the Catholic Women’s League, Father Alfredo of St. Edwards Parish and the Cowichan Valley Hospice who stood by our family during this difďŹ cult time. A mass will be held at St. Edward’s Church, 2085 Maple Bay Rd., on Monday, August 13th, 1:00 pm. Reverend Alfredo Montacelli Celebrant. In lieu of owers a donation to the Cowichan Valley Hospice would be greatly appreciated. To a wonderful husband, dad and grandpa, we will miss you. Thank you for being a big part of our lives.

Pettapiece stakes a claim for silver with Team B.C. women’s baseball
Got a sports story? e-mail sports@cowichannewsleader.com phone 250-746-4471
ATHLETICS
Chemainus Secondary School graduate Rhianna Pettapiece is continuing her long association of high-level baseball with Team B.C. The team was in Spruce Grove, Alberta during late July for the senior women’s invitational national competition.
Last year marked the first time B.C. entered a team at this level and, with Pettapiece on the roster, placed fourth. The goal this year was to make the cross-over game and that’s exactly what happened after a 3-0 win over Alberta.
Pettapiece and her teammates then played Ontario in the gold medal game and lost, but still came home with the silver — a great feat. Meanwhile, Duncan’s Prestlee Cooper and Amanda LeSergent are playing for the Victoria Devils in national fastpitch competition.

ne more year and the Dilly’s done. “Next year is the last,’’ said Ralph Dill, organizer of the Ron Dill Memorial orthodox and slo-pitch softball tournament that’s now been running for 24 years. The 25th anniversary in 2013 will also be the tournament’s swan song. The tournament started in 1989 following the death of Ron Dill in a plane crash. The latest edition of the event had 43 teams, down from 52 last year, competing on the B.C. Day long weekend at the Cowichan Sportsplex and Kerry Park ball ¿elds. “Out of all those 42 teams, 34 were from out-of-town,’’ said Ralph Dill.

hether they’re on the same side or not, a special bond exists between valley ¿eld hockey players Stefanie Langkammer and Claire Seeliger. The junior national teammates switched sides when the U18 nationals were played in Calgary. “As much as we’ve played together, we’ve also been split up, too,’’ said Seeliger. Langkammer was on the victorious B.C. Blue team and Seeliger played for the B.C. White squad that took the bronze medal. Langkammer played primarily at forward
and Seeliger in a defensive role. They literally wound up going head-to-head on the ¿eld when their two teams met. “It was pretty fun,’’ said Langkammer. “They came out pretty strong and so did we and scored some goals early into it. “I was right wing, she was left D. We were up against each other quite a bit.’’ “We were checks for most of the game we played them,’’ said Seeliger. “It was kind of interesting. “We’re pretty much best friends. It was kind of ironic, I guess.’’ Langkammer’s team rolled through the tournament by beating Prince Edward Island 7-0, Nova Scotia 9-0, B.C. Yellow 2-0, Seeliger’s
B.C. White 4-1 in the semi¿nal and Ontario 4-1 in the ¿nal. Seeliger’s team won 4-1 over Manitoba and 13-1 over Alberta U16 before losing to Ontario and then to Langkammer’s team in the semi¿nal. A 4-1 win over B.C. Yellow brought Seeliger and her teammates the bronze. It’s been a busy time leading up to the tournament for both girls, with frequent trips to the Lower Mainland for training. Langkammer’s squad also placed second in the India club tournament and third at the senior nationals. Seeliger’s team also attended senior nationals. “This year has been lots of fun,’’ said Langkammer. “I’ve got to play with so many different teams and learned lots.’’

Dominant Dawgs take Åag football title again Assorted sports: Western finals at Abbotsford no contest Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
T
he Duncan Dawgs won their second consecutive Western Canadian Flag Football Championship, blowing out the Vancouver Villains in the tournament ¿nale at Exhibition Park in Abbotsford. The defending champs rolled through the round robin with a perfect 3-0 record, winning by an average of 23 points per game. They capped the event with a 4620 triumph over the Villains. “No one really gave them a game — they really didn’t even get pushed,” tourney organizer Scott Beadell said, marveling at Duncan’s ef¿ciency. The weekend event marked the third consecutive year that Beadell has staged the WCFFC in Abbotsford. “In general, I thought it went really, really well,” he said. “It’s growing, and it got a lot of positive response throughout the city.” • Just the mere mention of the Alcatraz Sharkfest Swim would be enough to intimidate most people. But not valley swimmers Alison Keple, Amanda Leslie, Rachelle Ferguson and Jen Efford. They went to San Francisco to do the event and lived to tell about it. “It’s an iconic 2.4 km swim from Alcatraz to Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco,’’ explained Keple. “Of course, it has a reputation of cold water, swift currents and shark infested.’’ The group signed up anyway along with friends from Nanaimo and raced with some 900 others. Swimmers are taken by ferry to Alcatraz Island, everyone jumps off the boat, swims to the starting line and then the race starts with the swim for shore. “It was actually really fun, not quite as scary as we thought,’’ noted Keple. “It was de¿nitely cold and there was some-
what of a current, although it was in our favour, and not a shark in sight.’’ Leslie and Efford each ¿nished second in their respective 25 to 29 and 20 to 24 age groups. Ferguson was sixth in 25 to 29 and Keple claimed eighth for 40 to 44. “It was quite an experience, ¿rst of all being in San Francisco Bay as a swimmer, and watching the city get closer while Alcatraz loomed in the background,’’ summed up Keple. “Very cool.’’ • It was another exciting year for the Duncan Wildcats that included participation in the 42nd annual Operation Trackshoes meet at the University of Victoria in June. From the bus ride to the sporting events and the much-anticipated banquet and dance, the Wildcats displayed camaraderie, good sportsmanship and athletic abilities. Many ribbons were won by all, including several ¿rst-place ¿nishes in the 100and 400-metre running events as well as the 25 m swim. The Wildcats also put in a strong effort to win the tug-of-war. Duane Horsman, Daryl Holzman and Joe Clarke all joined the team this year and performed very well. First-time coaches were: Robynne Bloom¿eld and Alan Cutler. Five Wildcats competed in the ¿nal race of the weekend, the 1,500 metres. Alan Hahner completed the race in 6:59 to wild applause from his Wildcats’ teammates. In the end, the Wildcats placed second in the team event, missing top spot by just six points. Everyone went home exhausted and happy and preparations have already started for next year. Ongoing sponsors Kiwanis Club of Duncan, Clean Sweep, South Cowichan Lions Club, Tim Hortons and many others played a huge role in making sure the Wildcats continue each year. — with a ¿le from the Abbotsford News

ob McNab separated himself from the pack on the second day to win the Duncan Meadows Golf Course’s men’s club championship. The clubhouse leader after the ¿rst 18-hole round was actually Jeb Stevens with a 75. Bill Andrew carded a 76 and McNab was tied with Russ Frey at 77. But McNab turned the tables the second day, shooting 33 on the front
nine and then 40 on the back for a 73 to ¿nish with a two-day total of 150. That put him four shots clear of Frey. Frey’s total was 154, but he won the low net with a 138. Stevens hung on to second low net with a 141. Andrew (156), Bill Ferguson (159), Damien McCabe (160) and Jim Brown (162) had the other top low gross scores. R. McKechnie (148), Frank McNab (149) — twin brother of Bob — and Chuck Dandy (150) rounded out the top ¿ve in low net. Paul Benoit won with a 168 from
the white tees. Krista Nabb won the ladies’ competition, shooting 92 and 89 for a two-day total of 181. Cindy Campsall and Audrey Dowd ¿nished tied for second place at 184. Campsall was the leader after the ¿rst round with an 85 and Dowd shot 87, but Nabb overtook both of them. Cathy Brown’s 70 and 71 for a 141 made her the low net leader followed by Judy Thorarinson at 147. Grace Hui of Duncan Meadows said 38 players took part in the competition.
