Local driver airlifted from crash scene at TCH and Herd Early Sunday: Crash closes highway for several hours Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
A
pickup-truck driver was airlifted to Victoria General Hospital from Cowichan District Hospital early Sunday after a two-truck crash on the Trans-Canada Highway at Herd Road. The collision happened when a semi-truck, southbound on the TCH, hit a Ford F-150 that was eastbound on Herd Road, police said of the crash that closed the highway for several hours. The drivers’ identities, and the wreck’s cause, were unavailable at press time Tuesday. News Leader Pictorial lensman Andrew Leong said the totalled, white pickup — whose driver was extricated by ¿re¿ghters using the Jaws of Life — landed against the fence of a former Esso gas-station at the Herd Road corner. The white semi-transport truck, reading Wallace & Carey (commercial distributors), had its front-end mangled. The big rig blocked the highway where ambulance paramedics tended the driver’s injured ankle, Leong said of the 1 a.m. scene littered with debris, and smeared with Àuids. more on page 14

Cowichan Bay area blaze destroys family home off Telegraph Road Three-alarm blaze: Firefighters from Mill Bay and Duncan called in to help bring house fire under control Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
A
Cowichan Bay-area family is homeless after Thursday night’s ¿re claimed their rancher-type home at 784 Aros Road. The blaze off Telegraph Road was battled by Cowichan Bay ¿re¿ghters backed by Mill Bay and Duncan hall’s tanker trucks, Cow Bay’s chief Ken
Bulcock said of the 11:55 p.m. ¿re during which a propane-tank fuel-line broke. “We heard the noise of it leaking and turned it off,” Bulcock said of the 500-gallon tank that could have done serious damage had it blown. Still the three-bedroom, insured home was destroyed. “The roof was inside the house when we got there,” he said, noting no injuries though a family cat may have died in the ¿re. “It’s believed the ¿re started outside in
the back-porch area.” Photographer Andrew Leong stayed way back. “It was a long driveway, and there were no hydrants nearby so Duncan and Mill Bay hall’s trucks kept ¿lling the (reserve) pool,” Leong said Those tanker rigs were ordered by Cow Bay’s deputy-chief, Cam Ferguson, soon after he reached the fully involved inferno scene, said Leong. Crews fought the ¿re until about 4 a.m.
“The family was home and they all got out safely, but ambulances were standing by,” the Leader’s lensman said of the ¿re that “Àattened” the home. The family’s name hasn’t been released but Bulcock believed those folks are staying with neighbours or family. They also got assistance from Cowichan Valley Regional District’s emergency program. The ¿re’s cause was under investigation at press time Friday.

Paralympian retires: Cowichan salutes its beloved Bear as he eases into hibernation Don Bodger

E
verybody loves Cowichan’s Golden Bear. Richard (The Bear) Peter is clearly a favourite son of the entire community, judging by the response to his homecoming Sunday at the Cowichan Exhibition’s Mellor Hall. The ¿ve-time Paralympian, who ¿nished a magni¿cent career in London, England with his third gold medal in men’s wheelchair basketball, is the pride of Cowichan Tribes and the entire valley for the marvelous example he has set for youth. A whirlwind trip arranged to the valley was a chance “He’s a role for all to celebrate model for the Peter’s younger people. accomHe does an awe- plishments. some job and he Family, friends seems to really and fans enjoy it.’’ enjoyed a luncheon, traditional mask dance and presentations in Peter’s honour. “To me, he’s still a youth but he’s

also an elder because of the status he’s attained,’’ said Peter’s aunt Philomena Pagaduan. “He has all those teachings now.’’ “He accepted what he had and did what he had to do to the best of his ability,’’ said Pagaduan’s husband Peter Williams. John and Abby Pavelich of Enderby, Peter’s in-laws from his marriage to women’s wheelchair basketball great Marni Abbott, have nothing but good things to say about Peter’s character. “His determination and his laid-back attitude,’’ John Pavelich said are two things that stand out for him. “He’s quietly aggressive,’’ said Abby, who was in London to see Peter win the gold in his ¿nal Paralympics. “He’s very dedicated to his sport.’’ “He deals with young kids,’’ added John. “He’s a role model for the younger people. He does an awesome job and he seems to really enjoy it.’’ Peter takes great pride in being able to pass on his knowledge and wisdom to the younger players and the next generation. He announced before the London games that he would be retiring from competitive basketball and turned 40 on the same day as the closing ceremonies, Sept. 10. “I guess that still hasn’t sunk in,’’ said Peter, who is one of three team members to con¿rm their retirements after playing in ¿ve Paralympics. “We de¿nitely really enjoyed it.’’ “I’m happy to be home, especially on

Richard (The Bear) Peter celebrates his Paralympic basketball gold medal with the community during a gathering at the Cowichan Exhibition’s Mellor Hall Sunday. a day like (Sunday),’’ he added. “I’m just sitting back and saying, ‘yeah, I’m done.’’’ September was a month of milestones for Peter with the Paralympic gold, his 40th birthday, seventh wedding anniversary and retirement all falling in short order. He was heading to Las Vegas for a week after the Duncan celebration. “Everything just sort of fell into place, just really reÀecting on my whole career — three gold medals and one silver,’’ said Peter. “It’s been a good run for us. It’s been a lot of fun.’’ Mom Gloria, many aunts and uncles and other family members all did their part to make Peter’s special day
happen. “It’s great for me to come home whenever I can and share with the family,’’ said Peter, who has made his permanent home in Vancouver for many years. Peter — who lost the use of his legs in a bus accident at age four — knows the Canadian Paralympic basketball team’s success will continue without him. “We’ve still got a lot of young guys,’’ he said. “I tried to let them know ‘you guys get out and enjoy this as much as possible.’’’ Peter puts himself in the young players’ shoes and recalls what it was like in the beginning in 1996 in Atlanta.
He considers himself very fortunate to have enjoyed such a long tenure in the game. “I just remember going into that ¿rst opening ceremonies was unbelievable. It was de¿nitely a joy and experience back then and that’s what I try to remember with the younger guys we’ve got.’’ Peter has observed a tremendous advancement in the Paralympic movement during his time. “It’s totally changed with all the different sports and the athletes that are out there. “The biggest thing is awareness. I didn’t know anything about wheelchair sports when I was growing up.’’

Tour rides in to a Warm Land welcome Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
A
mazing weather and an equally warm response greeted Tour de Rock Cops For Cancer cyclists as they rolled into the Cowichan Valley Tuesday. The day began with a breakfast at the Chemainus Legion and a visit to Chemainus Elementary before the riders headed to Lake Cowichan and then back to Duncan for stops at Drinkwater Elementary, Canadian Tire, Queen Margaret’s School, Khowhemun Elementary and Beverly Corners. At Drinkwater, the riders were presented with school fundraising proceeds of more than $700. “What we did and this is something that’s a tradition at the school, we do a bottle drive at the end of September, speci¿cally to raise funds for the Tour de Rock,’’ said spokesman Fiona Somerville. “It’s for a wonderful cause.’’ The bottle drive ran for ¿ve straight days. “It’s just a big effort to get it all done,’’ said Somerville. The entire student population of more than 370 chipped in. “It’s the biggest elementary outside of Duncan elementary,’’ said Somerville. “We just put up signs, we talk about it, we remind kids in their planners every day.’’ At Queen Margaret’s School, Grade 3 student Amelie McLean, who’s battling leukemia, rode in the escort car throughout the valley

McLean, escorted by younger sister Miranda, presented the tour with a big cheque for $300.85 on behalf of QMS. The proceeds came from Cities Day where the 150 QMS junior school students got to wear clothing other than their uniforms for a toonie. “Every single junior school student contributed,’’ said QMS communi-
cations co-ordinator Hayley Picard. Amelie McLean’s cancer experience brought the message of the tour home for the students. “I think it’s just been a realization,’’ said QMS junior school principal Susan Cruikshank. “Kids are used to their uncle or grandfather having an association with cancer. It makes it a real experience for them.’’

Ride along the pipeline Änds concerns grew as riders headed west Picture the story: Local photographer tours Enbridge route looking for reaction Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
A
verage folks in B.C. and Alberta are divided about the economic bene¿ts and eco-costs of Enbridge’s planned pipeline. But Ride The Pipe motorcyclists Paul Fletcher and Daniel Sikorskyi also found, during their summer road trip, people in both provinces share opinions on Ottawa’s handling of the controversial oil pipeline. “The farther west we went, the deeper the knowledge of the project — and the resistance to it,” Fletcher said. Faces and biases of folks affected by the proposed pipeline were captured
by still and video cameras during their three-week motorcycle marathon. Fletcher and Sikorskyi, both 59, covered 5,200-odd kilometres aboard Harley Davidsons.They reached communities that could reap bene¿ts, or disaster, from the line carrying bitumen and condensate west and south from northern Alberta’s oil sands. “I wanted to hear from people less directly involved in the issues,” said former Duncan councillor Fletcher. “We basically focused on the average guy in pubs, coffee shops and restaurants. I wanted to give people a voice about the project.” They spoke through 1,000 frames on his Nikon D-700. Ride The Pipe, from Aug. 10 to 31, saw them travel from Duncan to Calgary then Edmonton, Dawson Creek, west to Kitimat (the line’s tanker port to Asia), Prince Rupert, Port Hardy, then back to Cowichan. Some 50,000 people learned about
Paul Fletcher
Faces along the pipeline included (from left) Roy Henry Vickers, Tera Brooks and Susan Oe. Ride The Pipe through social media, he reckoned. Fifty of Fletcher’s shots, pictures by Sikorskyi, and video-documentary from friends Michelle Staples and Judy Stafford’s summer pipeline shoot, will appear in a spring show. Staples and Fletcher are slated to speak at Thursday’s 7 p.m. Duncan

United Church screening of Frank Wolf and Todd McGowan’s pipeline documentary On The Line. Fletcher found common ground among pro-pipe Albertans, and antipipe British Columbians. To many of the 100 or so folks met by ex-oil-patch worker Fletcher, the line’s risks to land and water far outweigh its
job and tax bene¿ts. “It’s the human-error aspect. Albertans seemed to want the oil re¿ned in Alberta, then pumped to eastern Canada. “Many disliked the idea of shipping (raw material) to China. Suddenly the divide wasn’t so great,” he said, “But I don’t think our federal government wants us having that conversation.” Folks were also leery of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s private talks with Chinese leaders about the project opposed by many Aboriginal elders whose lands the line would cross. “The whole process isn’t transparent because of the desire to make money as fast as possible. For 270 full-time jobs in B.C., and a bunch of construction jobs, you’re risking a Native culture thousands of years old,” he said. “First Nations are the front line, and will lay down their lives for (stopping) this pipeline.”
Fraud frights
would never ask for personal information by email or during an unsolicited phone call.
The two leading types of fraud in North America are identity theft and real estate fraud. You may think that you will never be a victim of fraud, but unless you take the right precautions it could happen to you.
•
Identity Theft in 2009, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) received identity fraud reports from 11,095 Canadian victims, for a total loss of more than 10 million dollars.1
Be prepared should your credit or bank cards, driver’s license or SIN card are stolen or lost by keeping a list that includes expiration dates and account numbers in a safe place.
•
If you’re concerned, conduct a property search to be sure title to your home is in your name.
Real Estate Title Fraud Industry experts estimate that the average real estate title fraud amounts to $300,000 and costs Canadians as much as $1.5 billion a year.2 The most common forms are mortgage fraud - when a buyer provides fraudulent information to secure a mortgage; and title fraud - when a person fraudulently assumes the identity of a homeowner and takes over title of the home, sells the property or arranges a new mortgage then takes the money and runs.
Fraud can ruin your finances and personal life. Your professional advisor can provide the information you need and strategies you can use to prepare for the potential effects of fraud. 1 Royal Canadian Mounted Police Website -- http://www. rcmp-grc.ca/scams-fraudes/id-theft-vol-eng.htm 2 FCT Website -- http://www.protectyourtitle.com/ FraudFacts/PYT_Whatistitlefraud.html

Cowichan needs to be a partner in its own water Cowichan River: Loosen the hands on the tap
I
t was during Graham Bruce’s term in of¿ce during the ¿rst half of the past decade — right about the same time the Cowichan was named a national heritage river — when this community ¿rst started a concerted, organized effort to examine, protect, reclaim and enhance the Cowichan Lake and River system. Industry, conservationists, farmers, ¿shermen, local government — pretty well everyone with an active stake in the river was involved. Since then their work has continued — quietly perhaps, but with nothing less than diligence. They’ve reached some important conclusions and it is time the Province rest of the community took heed. Our lake needs to be better utilized as a needs to listen water storage tank. And we need a more active hand on the river’s tap to react and to watershed adapt to what Mother Nature presents us. watchdogs We’ve seen enough of this group to know that while they are motivated by different interests, they share a common mantra: the Cowichan Lake and River system is our most precious resource. It must be managed effectively. It must be handled with care. They’ve done the research. They’ve put in the effort. They have the community’s best interests at heart. We trust them to know what is best for this valley’s 80,000 inhabitants. So when they say the regulations governing lake water storage and river Àow management need adjustment, they need to be taken seriously. And the province needs to listen. We are not suggesting the province be removed from the equation. On the contrary, provincial presence is necessary to act as an outside arbiter, preventing one parochial interest or another from overwhelming the long view, or the greater community good. But we are suggesting they loosen the reins and become partners in water management, rather than ivory-tower decision-makers. Everyone of us depends on that water system every single day.
We say:
The good and the bad of this week in Cowichan This we don’t

Cowichan women prepare for the Apocalypse Maeve Maguire

hy is it called canning when we use jars? This was just one of the questions Àoating around my head while my Renaissance sisters and I peeled, blanched, julienned, and cubed vegetables and apples at a canning workshop hosted by Ruth Fenner, president of the Somenos Women’s Institute (SWI). The Renaissance Women are a local group of women dedicated to re-skilling: learning backto-basic skills so we can survive an apocalypse should it occur. During the past two years we have learned, among other things, how to keep bees, cast a Ày rod, make bread, soap and fermented soda, sew an apron, and taste wine — an important post-apocalyptic skill. This month’s workshop was dedicated to canning. I remember my mom making crabapple jelly when I was young, and that it was my
favourite thing to spread on hot, buttered toast; apart from that, I had little experience eating home-canned food, let alone preserving it. I liked my ketchup and jams predictable in consistency and high in sodium and synthetic sugars; in other words, store-bought. Trends change and these days it’s cool to preserve your own food. Martha Stewart shares canning tips that help you seal jars while making you look good in the process, or at least that’s the impression you get looking through her magazine pictures of evenly spaced, uniform jars of what must only be freshly preserved home-grown tomatoes sitting on a wooden table outside with rolling hills in the misty distance. Friends of mine post pictures of their colourful jams and salsas on Facebook, as if to seek validation for their hard work, and raise the stakes for lurkers: You think you can can? Check these, friend. Competing over preserved goods is nothing new—visit any of our local fairs and you’ll see rows of labour in the form of canned pears,
The man who rolled a tanker truck and spilled thousands of litres of fuel into the sensitive Goldstream River, with three times the legal limit of alcohol in his blood, will receive 200 hours of community service, a driving prohibition and a conditional sentence for the incident. We hope that is enough to send a message. More than fish could have been killed here.

peaches, strawberry jam — but it wasn’t always trendy. While I was a kid turning her nose up at pickled root vegetables, Fenner was feeding a family of four almost entirely with food she raised and grew on her Peace River farm. It wasn’t a chosen lifestyle then as it is now with hobby farmers who have moved out of the city to get dirt under their ¿ngernails. For Fenner and women like her, it was a way of life, a physically demanding but purposeful one, which is what many escaped city dwellers are likely seeking. Meeting Fenner reminded me how de¿cient I am in the basic skills required to get the most from the abundance of food naturally provided in the Cowichan Valley. But she was thrilled to see so many of us interested in becoming pro¿cient in food preservation, and encouraged us to join the local Women’s Institute to bring fresh ideas and energy to the group. The Women’s Institute was founded in Alberta nearly 100 years ago by rural women who
wanted to improve quality of food and health for families. What our B.C. Women’s Institute has accomplished is awe-inspiring. Most notably they were inÀuential in the establishment of the B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver and the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children in Victoria. Theirs was the ¿rst Buy B.C. campaign in the 1930s. All that, and teaching us amateurs how to can. I am grateful for Fenner’s work, as will my children be, eventually. After that workshop, I too can can, and did so with a pile full of crabapples from our neighbour’s yard. Now my kids will remember how delicious their mom’s crabapple jelly tasted on hot buttered toast. For more about BC Women’s Institutes, visit bcwi.ca near you.

Dear editor We must protest in the strongest terms, we must do everything we can to stop contaminated soil from Victoria to be dumped at Evans RediMix on Koksilah Road.

The suspect’s car Àed the scene and was found abandoned in woods on his property. Folks at home con¿rmed the car had arrived at a high speed. The dog squad didn’t ¿nd the driver despite a three-hour search of some four kilometres around the home. Police spoke with the driver’s mother, who lives at the residence. She said she’d bring her son to the detachment when he arrived home. At around 2 a.m. the driver showed at Shawnigan’s detachment, accompanied by his mom.

The driver said he hadn’t stopped because he couldn’t hear the of¿cer over loud music in his car, Kerr explained. The suspect was identi¿ed as a 17-year-old male from Shawnigan Lake, who was the car’s registered owner, and sole occupant. Then things got nasty. Told he was to be prohibited from driving, Kerr said the male became upset and tried to grab his driver’s licence from the of¿cer. “When this attempt failed, the male sped off, crossing the road and almost colliding with a tree. “The driver then did a U-turn to face in the direction of the of¿cer, who was returning to her police car.” “As the of¿cer passed the front of the police car, the suspect car passed

uck-liver ice cream? No thanks, I think I’ll pass. But that expected response didn’t last long for Cowichan chef Marissa Goodwin. In fact, taste buds were quacking for more after foodies tried Goodwin`s four-spice duck-liver ice cream with chocolate sauce and duck-fat cashew toffee. Daring participants at Victoria`s Number One Festival of Meat last month were surprised at the savory taste and their ability to keep the liver down. “It was actually good! It was one of those concepts that you think about and you think it`s going to be good and you get worried but it turned out great,” Goodwin said. “I would never serve something disgusting to 500 people.” Most testers were not immediately willing to try the Organic Fair Farms gourmet’s creation but after some
coaxing they changed their minds “There were a lot of guys and daring men will try things — ‘the woman dared me so I have to eat it’ — and I have a good bossy mother voice that also works to get people to try it,” Goodwin explained. “Once they tried it, they were like ‘this is good.’” Goodwin said she wanted to do something original using mostly organic ingredients from her farm. “The whole idea of the event was to showcase the local meat and beer but I knew that most people would be using the common cuts,” she said. “I wanted to take something that we wouldn’t normally use and do something different with it. I wanted to challenge myself and challenge people to eat it.” Goodwin, who’s been cooking professionally since 2005, says she added a secret ingredient to her ice cream to make it taste better. “Booze makes everything taste a little better!” she said. If you still aren’t convinced, that’s OK. Goodwin is among more than a dozen master chefs taking part in the
second-annual James Barber fundraiser at Providence Farm on Oct. 7. She’ll be making a honey pumpkin spice ice cream with caramel corn for less daring foodies. It’s part of the annual Chef’s Table fundraiser for Providence Farm programs. Other chefs include: Allan Aikman, Vancouver Island University; Brad Boisvert, Amuse Bistro on the Vineyard; Fatima da Silva, Bistro 161; Frédéric Desbiens, Saison Market Vineyard; Jonathan Duquette, Moby’s Oyster Bar; Matt Horn, Cowichan Pasta; Dan Hudson, Hudson’s On First; Bill Jones, Deerholme Farm; Dave Lang, North Island College; Janice Mans¿eld, Real Food Made Easy; Cory Pelan, The Whole Beast; Brock Windsor, Stone Soup Inn; Bruce Woods, Bruce’s Kitchen; and Chef Ryan Zuvich, Hilltop Bistro. Tickets are $100. Guests will be provided a $50 charitable tax receipt. Beverages are included. To order tickets, email provfarm@providence.bc.ca or call 250-746-4204.

Greg’s RV celebrates journey of expansion
A
sked to comment on Greg's RV' success, owner Greg Robson is not one to claim full responsibility. Started as a two-man show 13 years ago to 25 local employees today - referred to by Robson as `the family' - he attests the steady and impressive growth has come from a highly dedicated group over time. “Thirteen years ago I had no idea at all what was possible. I had no idea that we would grow the way we did. When we moved from Boys Road to our second location of 6000 sq. ft. I never considered that I would have to expand again. And once that expansion was complete, I never dreamed that I would build the new facilities we have now.” Island born and raised, (after high school, Malaspina and UNBC) Robson got his start in logging with his father, Roly. When senior Robson was considering retirement, and with Greg's wife, Carli expecting their first child, younger Robson had to choose between buying his father's company and staying in the industry, or making a change. With the logging business assuring lengthy periods away from home and with a child on the way, Robson was open to alternatives. “I had heard that The RV Place on the corner of Boys and the highway, a repair facility at the time, was for sale. I decided to buy it.” says Robson. “I hired a technician and it was just the two of us in parts and service. In the end, and most importantly, is that none of this would have been possible without the support of my wife, Carli and my two children, Delaney and Grady.” Thirteen years later, the decision obviously paid off. Greg's RV recently completed a 15,000sq. ft full-service facility. Robson had outgrown the two previous expansion buildings and rather than continuing to add structures he chose to bring everyone under one roof, which fit well with his philosophy regarding the Greg's RV team. “I'm extremely proud of my dedicated staff. They think of our customers as friends and treat them the same way we all want to be treated. Our management is fantastic. I can't put enough emphasis on our group, our family - we call them our family and we mean it. From service to parts to finance and insurance, sales...everyone. Everyone is part of a really good core of people.” Unlike many industries, Robson’s philosophy is substantiated in the company’s low employee turnover. Many company personnel have been with the organization since the early years. With consistent and reliable staff the customers have taken notice over time, recognizing and building relationships with the same familiar faces in parts, service and sales departments. On the surface, sales would seem the driving force behind growth. However, Robson only partially agrees, “The reason for our growth is not just because we're selling. We're growing because our customers trust us and know they will be looked after. There's a big difference there.” Greg's RV has also been actively involved in fund-raising for good causes. Robson has, quietly working with other organizers, raised over $100,000 through golf tournaments for the BC Children's Hospital.
THIRTEEN YEARS AGO I HAD NO IDEA AT ALL WHAT WAS POSSIBLE. I HAD NO IDEA THAT WE WOULD GROW THE WAY WE DID.

Musician spreads the legend of Cougar Annie Taking aim: Katrina Kadoski puts a musical spin on feisty gun-toting West Coast pioneer Caitlin McKay
News Leader Pictorial
A
Vancouver Island legend is coming to Duncan. Musician Katrina Kadoski’s critically acclaimed show Cougar Annie Tales, depicts the life of the legendary Cougar Annie, a feisty pioneer woman who developed a reputation for hard living and sharp shooting. The show brings Cougar Annie to life, as Kadoski using music and photos to tell her life story. “There are photos of her throughout the show, showing her as a young girl and through life, and I think that`s what people are drawn to. It’s a real story, I’m not making it up,” Kadoski said. “I’ve never put on a show like this before, where there are all these elements on their own, but it`s something really special when you put them all together to tell a story about a person.” Cougar Annie was born Ada Annie Rae-Arthur in 1888 and she settled near Hesquiat Harbour at Boat Basin in Clayoquot Sound. She was nicknamed Cougar Annie, after shooting so many of the big cats. She claimed to have killed 62 cougars and 80 bears before her death in 1985. Her house was restored and turned into a non-pro¿t organization called the Boat Basin Foundation. It was
there Kadoski ¿rst learned about this spirited woman. Kadoski was hired to work in the garden which was the pride and joy of Annie’s life. “The caretaker job opened and it was a golden opportunity for a songwriter to go to a magical garden and live in a beautiful cabin. People would come and take tours so I had to get to know her story quite intimately,” she said. “I started to explore different ways to expand the story and that`s how I came up with the show.” Kadoski says everyone can learn from Cougar Annie’s life and her struggles to be an independent woman and the talented musician tries to convey her hero`s message to her audience. “I think the message is survival...as far as making a place for yourself in the world and working toward it and doing everything you can to survive and make your life as good as you can.” A pioneer woman and 21st century musician might not have a lot in common but Kadoski says she still can draw parallels between them and feels a connection to Annie. “We are women of a different world but I see some parallel — to not be afraid, to do my own thinking. I carved my own path and I think that`s where we could relate,” she said. “She wanted to create a life for herself that was so different from what
Katrina Kadoski portrays Vancouver Island legend legendary Cougar Annie in her musical show, Cougar Annie Tales. everyone else was doing and she was on the edge of her culture.” It is from this connection that Kadoski draws her inspiration for the show. She says she can feel the presence of Annie on the stage with her. “When I ¿rst wrote the show it was all song and I would tell the story of
her by introducing the songs but now she is actually on stage the whole time through the pictures,” she said. “I think there is a real spirit of her in the show and it is really cool for people to learn about her in a new way.”

TEAMAN DUNC
aintings and reupholstered furniture make good bedfellows in Bonnie Schmaus’ world. Samples of her acrylic (and maybe oil) paintings, capturing local people and places, grace this weekend’s show and sale by the Maple Bay Painters and Cowichan Valley Potters at St. Peter’s church hall. “I do the Cowichan Valley; whatever hits me,” said the Edmontonian, and 1964 Alberta College of Art grad. “I paint lots of gardens, forests, people, and lots of sheep. I’ve always painted.”
But brushes and budgets didn’t often meet, she took Camosun College’s ¿ne-furniture course in 1990 to pay the bills with restorations. “Everyone needs a place to sit down, then you need something to put on your wall,” said the former Vancouver fashion-buyer. “I moved to Victoria to retire, but soon got bored, and got into furniture,” the 10-year Cowichanian said. Her joy comes from making sofas and canvases “that are easy to live with.” “It’s very important choosing a sofa — like choosing a husband — because you’ll have it forever, and the kids will probably have to keep your paintings as well.” Results of both passions appeared in her
recent PORTALS solo show, that included Schmaus’ Cowichan couch. That piece, made from all-local materials, now needs valley Àeece for stuf¿ng, and a weaver for fabrics. Eventually, she plans on daughter, Arwen, assuming her furniture business so Schmaus can resume painting. “I’m usually outside, and our valley’s wonderful — I’ll probably paint more people.” Your ticket What: Maple Bay Painters and Cowichan Valley Potters Show & Sale When: Oct. 5 and 6, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Where: St. Peter’s church hall, 5800 Church Rd.

PARENT, Patricia Anne
H.W. Wallace
Patricia Anne Parent (Trish) was born May 10, 1956 in Calgary Alberta to Ernest and Mona McDuff. After a lengthy battle with Cancer, Trish passed away suddenly on Sept 16, 2012 in her home.

She will be deeply missed by all her friends and extended family, but especially by her children, Stephen (Tammy), Amanda, Matthew, her grandchildren Jordan, Joseph, Shawnae, Cheryl-Anne, Alissa, Dakota, Grace and Brady, her sister Debbie, and her brother Danny. Trish was active for many years within the MĂŠtis community, serving as an Employment Counselor and Program Coordinator for the Vancouver Island Regional MĂŠtis Management Association and the MĂŠtis Nation British Columbia.

For several years she was part of the Special Woodstock Society helping people with specials needs to express themselves through music on-stage at an annual outdoors celebration. Trish was a person who always had time for a friend whether it was an ear to listen, a helping hand, or some sound advice. She was a strong, independent, caring person who touched the lives of everyone she met and her beautiful smile will be sorely missed. A Celebration of her life will be held Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 1pm at the Eagle's Hall, 2965 Jacob St, Duncan BC.

T
rying to win their ¿rst game of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season is proving far more dif¿cult than the Kerry Park Islanders thought. Even with a two-goal lead and an eventual three-goal cushion in the third period, the Islanders still couldn’t put the Comox Valley Glacier Kings away Saturday night at Kerry Park Arena. The Kings came storming back from a 5-2 de¿cit with three goals to tie it 5-5 and then won 6-5 in overtime. The loss dropped the Islanders’ record to 0-6-2 for two points and last place in the VIJHL’s South Division. Nolan Kinney and Trevor Parkhouse staked the Islanders to a 2-0 lead in the ¿rst period. The Kings tied it in the second on markers by Nicholas Tupper and Jordan Kamprath. The Islanders struck for three goals just 2:46 apart early in the third period to seemingly take control. Braden Lundahl and Alex Milligan got it started with power-play markers before Milligan put away another marker while at even strength. It took less than a minute for the Kings’ Brook Trainor to reply and another goal less than two minutes after that by Mitch Ball closed the de¿cit to one. The equalizer came from Cody Eliason with 5:03 left in regulation. Still with a chance to grab the two points, the Islanders gave up another goal at 3:38 of overtime to Trainor that decided the issue. Both teams had plenty of power-play chances. The Kings went two-for-nine with the man advantage and the Islanders three-for-seven. It was a much better effort for the Islanders than the previous night in Saanich, although it may have been dif¿cult for the players to appreciate that, when they were swamped 8-0. Tanner McGaw recorded the shutout with 22 saves. The Islanders were only in it for the ¿rst period. They surrendered ¿ve goals to the Braves in the second. The Islanders will try to end their winless drought with a rematch against the Kings in Courtenay Friday. The Islanders take on Saanich in a 3 p.m. start Sunday at Kerry Park Arena.

M
y intrigued reection upon how I have beneďŹ ted from receiving help from United Way Cowichan who partially funds the Breakfast Program at Hiiye’yu Lelum (House of Friendship) Society. My name is Travis S. I am a born and raised Cowichan Valley resident that is currently attending adult basic education courses at Vancouver Island University (Cowichan Campus), which I love immensely. I have been attending the Breakfast Program for a couple of years and ďŹ nd it a good place to meet friends and family and to have an enjoyable breakfast and when I need I make a request for dry socks. Like many people in this day and age I too have beneďŹ ted substantially from receiving help from United Way. With their help I have been able to

eliminate completely the consumption of alcohol and pain medications, I have also been able to obtain the necessities of life, such as food, clothing, emotional and spiritual help. United Way has helped me greater balance the sometimes almost impossible task of being self sustaining and practicing self reliance to return to work, attend appointments, enjoy healthy positive meaningful relationships. I am a person who grapples with depression and A.D.D. I have attended the Cowichan Valley Basket Society located on Garden St, Duncan, BC. Cowichan United Way has enabled me to learn happiness is not a station you arrive at but a manner of travelling. Courage is grave under pressure. Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference! I would like to take this time to give thanks to any and all (past, present, and future) who support United Way Cowichan.

Citra’s pair sets the pace in 4-0 blanking of Sooke
Playing keepaway from Doug Armstrong of Sooke is Cowichan LMG Pringle’s Matt Arnett. Cowichan is off to another great start in Div. 1 of the Island Soccer League despite the loss of Brian Carriere, a key member of last season’s squad. “We’ve got guys that are Ă„lling in and doing the job,’’ said Cowichan assistant coach Kevin James.

owichan LMG Pringle remains undefeated four games into its nine-game homestand to start the Vancouver Island Soccer League’s Div. 1 season. Cowichan’s goals for total reached 15 with just one against after a 4-0 victory over Sooke Celtic Friday at Sherman Road Park. “They were missing a few players,’’ said Cowichan assistant coach Kevin James. “They had
Andrew Leong
four or Âżve call-ups.’’ Sooke always plays a physical game, but couldn’t match the pace of Cowichan. Dan Citra scored a pair of goals while Chris Arnett and Tyler Hughes, off a free kick, added singles. “It was an absolute cracker into the top corner,’’ James said of the goal by Hughes, who was the team’s man of the match. Joel Wilson recorded his third shutout. “Our Âżtness level is getting better and better,’’ said James. “When you’ve got pace and Âżtness, it’s pretty hard to defend that.’’
Cowichan is making the most of its string of early-season home games to jump into the lead in the standings, just as it did last season. “It’s good to have some home games in the Âżrst half the way our pitch deteriorates halfway through the season,’’ said James. Cowichan’s record will be tested when Vic West visits Friday night. Vic West is 3-0. “They’re a good, fast young team,’’ said James. “We’re not going to be able to run by them like we’ve been doing the last couple of games. “They’ll match up a lot better in pace.’’

South Delta maintains a bond Ferreira Äeld hockey: Spirit of competition benefits Cowichan and Kelsey girls Don Bodger

redit South Delta Secondary for keeping some form of the John Ferreira ¿eld hockey tournament alive. There wasn’t time or enough available teams to stage a proper tournament this year, but South Delta made a commitment to come anyway, playing games against Cowichan Secondary and Frances Kelsey Sunday at the Cowichan Sportsplex. No trophy was awarded, but the tournament will return in an expanded form again next season. Cowichan and South Delta tied 1-1 in the opening game. South Delta then defeated Kelsey 4-1. “They’re using this as a team bonding thing,’’ Cowichan coach Gillian Braun said of South Delta. South Delta coach Neil McLennan knew Ferreira, the former Cowichan coach whom the tournament is name after, and has always made an effort to bring his team over from the begin-
ning. “We have a connection ourselves and we can look at each other and see we’re warriors of this sport,’’ said Braun. A lot of coaches, including Braun, and teams weren’t available for the weekend due to the 50th anniversary of UVic athletics Friday and Saturday in Victoria. “A lot of the umpires we normally have and coaches wanted to attend that,’’ said Braun. South Delta added a game against Brentwood College Saturday to make the overnight trip more complete. The Cowichan-South Delta clash was like many meetings between the teams in a glorious past tournament history. “There was good structure from both teams,’’ said Braun, who’s returning as Cowichan coach this season after a ¿ve-year absence. She said goalkeeper Tara Eriksen did a great job keeping Cowichan in the game with a style reminiscent of a young Jaimie Coulter or Monica
Morgan. “It’s good she’s stepped up,’’ said Braun of Eriksen. “We had nobody on the ¿rst day of tryouts.’’ South Delta still scored ¿rst. “I thought, ‘oh, oh’ because we were really tentative,’’ said Braun. But Cowichan turned it on and got the tying goal from Krystyna Neal. “We just need to work on our team process,’’ said Braun. “I’ve got a good feeling about our team. They’re certainly hard-working and come focused to practice.’’ Kelsey mixed a team of juniors and seniors together for a friendly with South Delta and scored ¿rst. “The girls all enjoyed playing in the fun game together, a good experience for them all,’’ noted Kelsey coach Wendy Erickson. Junior goalie Hannah Quayle and Grade 9 student Marina Ellison had excellent games. Exchange student Livlrene Korstad enjoyed her ¿rst ¿eld hockey experience. The teams play in the prestigious Bridgman Cup on the long weekend.

our valley girls are included on the list of the top 63 players in Canada to participate in the Target 2017 national program. Frances Kelsey’s Chelsey Cleemoff and Claire Seeliger, Shawnigan Lake School’s Casey Crowley and Cowichan’s Stefanie Langkammer are in
the talent pool that will receive technical and physiological development leading up to the U16 Pan-Am Games and 2017 Junior World Cup. “It was exciting and surprising when I received the letter because I never thought I would be pursuing ¿eld hockey at this level,’’ noted Crowley. Despite being from hockeymad New Zealand, Crowley didn’t pick up on the sport until she came to Canada.
The four players have also made Vancouver Island’s ¿rstever Premier ladies’ team. Cleemoff was captain of the U15 B.C. Blue team that won the U16 nationals in Surrey with Crowley and other Cowichan products Sara Lowes, Krystyna Neal and Maddie Smith on the roster. Kelsey Goodman and Brittany Smith were members of the B.C. White team that claimed the bronze medal.

here’s something strange about early-season B.C. Hockey League battles between the Cowichan Valley Capitals and the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. “Very weird match-ups with those guys,’’ conceded Caps’ coach Jim Ingram after his team defeated the Bulldogs 6-4 Friday night at Cowichan Arena for its ¿rst win since the opening game of the Showcase tournament in Chilliwack Sept. 8. A previous meeting with the Bulldogs ended in an 8-7 shootout loss for the Caps in Port Alberni. “It had that feel again,’’ said Ingram of a high-scoring affair. “It’s never over.’’ The second period actually ended with the Caps leading 6-4 and there was no scoring in the third. “We talked about coverage in our zone and lack thereof after the second period,’’ said Ingram. The Caps tightened up and protected the lead well, giving up just nine shots in the third. “When you go young on the back end, you want to be out there in your dress shoes helping out any way you can,’’ quipped Ingram. It’s simply a process that will take time for the young defence corps to become a unit. “We’ve got a good feel about us,’’ said Ingram. “We knew we were going to have some tough days.’’

Space race requires Steen Cooper of the Caps to move the puck quickly while being chased by Alberni Valley’s Ryan Lough Friday night at Cowichan Arena. On the offensive front, it was a good game for the Caps with ¿ve players collecting two or more points. Matt Grant and Steen Cooper led the way with two goals and one assist each. Recent changes gave the Caps’ forward line a new look, with the addition of Teal Burns, Travis Stephens and Kerry Park Islanders’ af¿liate Kyle Horsman, who was the Fortis B.C. Energy Player of the Game. Burns contributed two assists and “I think he’s going to be a good ¿t for us and put some points on the board,’’ said Ingram. Former Western Hockey League player Ryan Hanes continued his tor-
rid pace with a goal and an assist. The Bulldogs and Caps meet yet again Friday at Cowichan Arena. “I’d like a little bit less drama to it, to be honest with you,’’ said Ingram. Saturday night, former Caps’ coach Scott Robinson brings his Salmon Arm SilverBacks to town. Robinson and Ingram go way back and still keep in contact. Ingram formerly served as an assistant to Robinson with the Caps. “I’m glad he got back in the league,’’ said Ingram. After leaving the Caps, Robinson went to the Dawson Creek Rage of the North American Hockey League. The franchise lasted just two seasons before folding.

Toby Owen Toby Owen found his calling when he switched to field hockey goalkeeper as his sports specialty. Grade 12 Frances Kelsey student Owen, who turns 17 on Nov. 28, took advice from Alanna Martin to heart. “She recommended field hockey,’’ said Owen. He ended a long run in soccer after Grade 10. “I realized I probably had a future in field hockey and I’m way better at it than I am in soccer,’’ Owen said. He played on the U16 B.C. team that won the nationals last year and the victorious Canada Cup U18 squad this summer. Owen is currently with the Victoria Selects Premier League team. He’s learned a great deal about the mental game required of a goalkeeper. “If you let a goal in, it’s a challenge to bounce back and not blame it all on yourself,’’ Owen said. view video at www.cowichannewsleader.com/Don Bodger

n a unique turn of events, a married couple will cruise Vancouver Island as part of the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. Const. Dorothy Junio, the Oak Bay police school resource officer, will tackle the Tour de Rock alongside husband Const. Jett Junio of Saanich police. They are the first married couple “You only get to to take part in the do it once and do it Canadian Cancer together …” Society fundraiser. “You only get to do – Const. Dorothy Junio it once and to do it together …,” Dorothy began. “It’s a unique opportunity for sure,” Jett finished. “We have the luxury of debriefing everything we do from work to riding because we’re on the same page.” They also share in fundraising responsibilities and aside from police work, in a local business as well. Jett returns to the Saanich police ranks in January after an 18-month leave to run Riders Cycles, a bicycle business on Cloverdale Avenue that the couple purchased a year ago. The Junios came to Victoria four years ago after long careers with the Edmonton Police Service. Cops for Cancer fundraisers were

rooted in Edmonton. The Island-wide ride, Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, developed from those events in the mid-1990s. “We knew the event (in Edmonton) was raising funds for kids with cancer, but the magnitude didn’t hit us until we got here,” Jett said. “The fever we didn’t feel until we got to the Island,” Dorothy added. “The whole Island embracing it is amazing.” With their kids, Adam and Ethan hitting 16 and 17 this year, they felt an opportunity to make a commitment to the cause. Plus it’s a year of milestones for the pair; both turned 50, celebrated 25 years of policing and it’s the 15th year of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. Then there’s the illness itself. Dorothy’s mom developed cancer (she’s faring well right now), and suddenly they saw it throughout their peers. “It became a big deal,” Dorothy said. The biggest hurdles won’t be the kilometres-long hills or rainy days spent on a bike. “It’s going to be the emotions,” Dorothy said. “You sometimes have to battle that along with the physical.” As for the highs, just participating and seeing people dig deep to give is already providing those. “The ride itself is secondary,” Jett said. “It’s a vehicle to reach out to people for a greater cause: the kids.”
