he death of a man Sunday in the Berkey’s Corner area is under investigation by the B.C. Coroner’s Service. “I can con¿rm there was a sudden death on Sunday,” North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Jon Stuart says in an email this week. “As there was nothing criminal, the Coroner’s Service is the lead agency, and they would be the ones to contact for media.” Coroner Barbara McLintock declined to comment about the death as the investigation continued, but expected some details to be available next week. An unidenti¿ed woman who visited News Leader Pictorial of¿ces Wednesday said the man fell on a path near Berkey’s Corner, and died after injuring his neck in a fenced area. Details about the male’s name and identity, his exact cause of death, plus time, place, and witnesses of the tragedy were all unavailable by press time Thursday.

Lake man maintains he pulled the trigger on a dog to save man’s life Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

Cowichan Lake Road resident is standing by his decision to shoot and kill a dog he felt was in the process of causing serious harm to a friend. Wally Baas heard a commotion outside his residence and found Ken Campbell being attacked by four uncontrolled dogs — three Bullmastiffs and a pit-bull cross. “It looked to me like he was getting eaten alive,’’ Baas told CTV Vancouver Island News in a segment broadcast Tuesday. “I went and got my gun and I dispatched one

Police investigating: Neighbours call shooter a hero after dog walker and his pets threatened by uncontrolled large dogs of those dogs. I did what I thought I had to do to save somebody’s life. As far as I’m concerned, a human life is worth more than a dog’s life.’’ Campbell was walking his two dogs when the four dogs escaped from a neighbourhood yard and darted toward him. His dog, Bob, was attacked in the neck. Campbell said he was attempting to give one of the attacking dogs the RCMP chokehold when Baas became aware of what was happening. “Wally saved me as far as I’m concerned — not

just my dog but me,’’ Campbell told CTV. “He’s the only one that came out to help.’’ Neither Baas nor Campbell would comment further on the incident when contacted by the News Leader Pictorial. The CTV interview was “the only one we’re going to do,’’ said Baas. “I said everything to the news,’’ said Campbell. According to a posting on the News Leader Pictorial website by a neighbour, Jon Walsh, Baas was awakened by the noise of the attack. He

quickly assessed the situation, went for his gun and took action. “The dog was shot to protect a human being,’’ noted Baas’ wife Sheryl in another posting on the News Leader Pictorial website. “Whether or not you value human life will determine whether or not the action was necessary.’’ Lake Cowichan RCMP Cpl. Larry Olson said the investigation of the incident is still being conducted. “We do our investigation and forward it to the Crown,’’ he said. In the case of a shooting, it could take a bit longer before the investigation is complete. more on A5

he safety of cutting boards in your kitchen was tested 20 years ago in the U.S. They compared wooden to plastic boards and found that the wooden ones had less bacteria in them than the plastic ones. Plastic boards were dishwasher-safe but the temperature of the water in dishwashers wasn’t high enough to disinfect the boards. Glass and metal boards disinfect easily but also dull knives quicker.

The Good Life has returned to Cowichan

UP FRONT

A Maple Bay woman who took up rowing in her 60s, inspired by her Olympic goldmedallist son. A Duncan man who makes it his mission to make you look good. A skater who may be Cowichan’s oldest female hockey player. These are just a few of the folks enjoying the

good life in Cowichan. And you can read about all of them in the seventh edition of the Good Life magazine, the News Leader Pictorial’s twice-yearly publication for Cowichan’s baby boomers. The fall 2012 Good Life also explores such stories as retirement planning, the hottest destinations for Cowichan travellers, how to

deal with the pressures of Christmas, and what it means to be an elder in Cowichan culture. Plus Lori Welbourne’s light-hearted take on life and Don Bodger’s exploration of Cowichan’s culinary world — look for all of it, tucked into today’s edition.

et back to the bargaining table. That was Wednesday’s message from provincial negotiators to the Canadian Union of Public Employees whose members staged strike action Tuesday and Wednesday at VIU’s Cowichan campus, and at other island facilities. B.C.’s Post-Secondary Employers’ Association boss, Anita Bleick, said PSEA’s ready to bargain with a “reasonable offer.” She urged

6 OUT6 OF 1 ! SOLD

CUPE to “stretch” its demand about wages and more, while Cowichan’s MLA advised both sides their fruitless talks have dragged on long enough. “Obviously, you want to discourage any stakeholders from negotiating through the media,” Bill Routley said. “I recommend the employer and union to get into a room and negotiate. Sit down and bargain in good faith and get the job done.” VIU student Ryan Knowles backed Routley’s advice, supporting wage hikes for CUPE’s inside support workers. “For the job they’re doing, they need the money to make their lives easier,” he said of CUPE’s four-year 0-0-2-2% wage boost recently pitched to PSEA. “But if they don’t get what they want, they should get back to bargaining.”

CUPE, whose Local 1858 covers members at Cowichan’s VIU campus, has been without a contract since 2010. Meanwhile, Routley assured students contract deals are democracy in Bill Routley: action, and are eventuget in a room ally settled. “These things get sorted out. In a democratic society some things happen that inconvenience us,” he said. “I’d rather not see any inconvenience, but as long as people are playing by the rules of fair labour negotiation, that’s always what it takes: people trying to reasonably negotiate a settlement. “Nine times out of 10, they do,” he said.

ermit changes to prevent a 2013 salmon kill, while supplying Crofton mill’s water needs, is under discussion by Catalyst’s paper’s brass. Mill manager Rob Belanger said he and his bosses are mulling a recent forest ministry recommendation that Catalyst seek an amendment to its Cowichan River water licence. Catalyst’s application is due by mid-December for a chance at an April 1 approval by Victoria, regional of¿cials heard from forests ministry staff recently. Catalyst’s license change would allow mill managers to work with local leaders and Native elders about storing spring Àows in Cowichan Lake. That water could then be released Rob Belanger: as needed during the fall to allow we have a role spawning salmon to swim upstream. The heritage river’s coho spawn was hit hard by the summer’s drought, leaving dead coho, locals trucking other ¿sh upstream, and Natives without traditional food ¿sh. It also had Belanger worried his mill might run dry and close. “It was numerous weeks away from impacting us, and managing from that risk is certainly not good,” he said. “The ministry has suggested that, because we’re the licensee, we have a role to play. “We obviously have to consider the rami¿cations of that (amendment), and we’re looking at our options.” September’s river-Àow crisis surfaced because Catalyst’s provincial licence called for it to maintain about seven cubic metres per second Àow rate. “The river has bene¿ts to a large number of people in this community, and we happen to be among them, and we want to do what’s right for the community as well,” Belanger said. He couldn’t speculate on when or if Catalyst would make its decision about seeking the amendment. “The ministry has sent the CVRD what it considers the process is. There has to be some public consultation. “The key message is that we have concerns, and don’t want a repeat of (river drought), and want to participate in the process of addressing it, and we’re looking at what that would mean to us, speci¿cally.” Provincial amendment hoops see a new river curve — Àow rate — identi¿ed by the Cowichan Valley Regional District and Cowichan Watershed Board, then sent to Catalyst and the ministry. The CVRD would tell river and lake property owners of the planned Àow changes, allow a 30-day objection/ feedback period, then hold a public forum. A public hearing would follow, then a 30-day appeal period to the Environmental Appeal Board.

CVRD offering totes for all types Curb your enthusiasm: Ofﬁcials say a range of tote choices should address rural concerns

oting trash to the curb could be a lot easier come June. That’s when many rural-area Cowichanians will likely have received free garbage and recyclable totes, equipped with big sturdy wheels, delivered free to their homes — if a proposed regional trash and recycling plan starts. Some residents are objecting to the plan, saying it won’t be suited to rural needs. “Easy-roll totes will work ¿ne in the city where there are smooth, level paved driveways leading to neat street-side curbs. Out here, not so much,” Anne Wilkinson wrote in a letter to the News Leader Pictorial. “Can you visualize a small woman in her late eighties trying to push one of these up her gravel driveway? But Jason Adair, CVRD’s solidwaste superintendent, is planning for the new waste system, assuring folks they will they can basically get a sturdy tote in a size that ¿ts their needs. “They’re very easy to manoeuvre. They come with 10-inch, heavyduty rubber wheels,” he said of the CVRD’s 17,000 totes of the type now used in other rural communities across the continent. Adair was especially aware some folks have long, maybe gravel, driveways that must be navigated to lug trash and yellow-bagged recyclables to the roadside for pickup. “These wheels are designed to handle that type of terrain,” he said. Those who currently heft their trash and recyclables to their pickup

“If there’s a police shooting, there’s a big investigation,’’ Olson said. “You can’t compare the two, but we’ve got to go through our steps as well.’’ Sandi Trent of the Duncan branch of the SPCA said she had been made aware of the incident by the dead dog’s owner but the organization is not directly involved at this point.

point in a vehicle should be able to continue that practice using their new totes. Adair said the system is supposed to adjust to residents’ needs, not cram them into a strict tote-by-rote system. By June 1, 12,000 residences will get a standard-size 140- to 160-litre trash tote and/or a 240-litre recyclables tote, but they can pre-order a tote in another size if they want. Models of the three totes, spanning 80- to 360-litres, are on view at the Bings Creek recycling depot. Contact the CVRD to arrange for alternate sizes. Homes in all regional areas now receive recycling pickup every other week “and that will stay the same,” Adair said, noting yellow recycling bags will be replaced by totes. “Areas D, E, F, G and I, get

regional trash pickup now every other week, and that will stay same,” he explained of those homes to get garbage totes. Areas A, B, C, and H get private trash hauling now. That’ll be status quo unless residents demand their area director get them public hauling, then they’ll receive trash totes. Objectors to the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s $1.8-million public hauling drive have until Monday to gain 2,550 names on of¿cial forms to force a referendum about the proposal. Resident Bill Dumont is spearheading an effort to collect the necessary signatures, however, neither he, nor the CVRD provided any information in response to requests on how well the campaign was going.

“We are actually waiting to hear back from the RCMP,’’ said Trent. “We weren’t actually paged out on it.’’ Walsh said in his posting on cowichannewsleader.com that those living in the area are all too aware of the dangers the four dogs have posed during the past few years. He said a little boy was bitten through the fence by one of the dogs. “This attack had no good outcome,

no matter how you slice it,’’ Walsh wrote. “The only saving grace is that the dogs lost this one for a change. I doubt any of us would be second-guessing this man had it been a child, maybe your child being attacked. This man’s actions were heroic under the circumstances, not malicious.’’ The owner of the shot dog could not be contacted.

Man arrested after weapons and stolen goods seized by police

40-year-old man is facing several weapons charges and possession of property obtained by crime while charges are also being sought against a 34-yearold woman after police executed a search warrant on an Arbutus Street residence in Chemainus.

North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP seized more than 10 prohibited weapons Monday, according to Cpl. Jon Stuart. One Derringerstyle prohibited ¿rearm and approximately 30 knives were seized as well as drug paraphernalia, four portable DVD players, a laptop and a Conn brand saxophone. The saxophone was believed

stolen, but police are still trying to identify the owner.

Investigation needed to see if shots necessary Dog shooting: Ofﬁcers can’t turn a blind eye

ublic shooting isn’t something a society should generally condone. But there are certainly exceptions to the rule. That is why a recent shooting incident in Lake Cowichan bears watching. To be clear, the circumstances surrounding the incident are unclear. Police say a man walking his two dogs was aggressively approached by three other large, uncontrolled dogs. A man in the neighbourhood came to his aid, shooting and killing one of the dogs. The two men involved in the incident declined an interview with the News Leader Pictorial, but each made their Hero, or not on a CTV News piece and were police are just case supported by others posting on cowichannewsleader.com: the dogs were doing their dangerous, the man and his pets were job being threatened and the shot was necessary to protect their safety and maybe their lives. And if the incident happened as the men described it, we’re inclined to agree. Not all dogs are cuddly pets. Large canines like the ones described are capable of signi¿cant damage and being on the receiving end of aggressive behaviour from them would be terrifying. But the police are not paid to take things at face value. They need to determine things happened the way those involved said it happened, to ¿nd out if there are any extenuating circumstances that need to be considered. Part of that investigation should focus on how and why these potential dangerous animals came to be roaming uncontrolled in the ¿rst place. But mostly they need to determine how great a threat, or appearance of threat the dogs posed. We understand why the people involved are upset their actions are being questioned; it’s natural given the circumstances. But discharging a gun in a residential area is serious business, all the moreso when that gun is aimed at a living creature. It will be sorted out. The police are just doing their job.

Seeing both sides of: Duncan yard waste pickup The case against

The case for Years without has done nothing to the fond memories many Duncan residents hold for the old yard waste compost site on Cliffs Road. They’ve been seeking an alternative to the long haul out to Bings Creek pretty much since the yard closed. Duncan council is listening and is testing a trial yard-waste residential pick-up day this weekend. It’s a welcome indication council is listening.

The fallen leaves are piling up and Duncan residents are working to get rid of them.

Duncan chicken bylaw seems properly hatched Patrick Hrushowy

News Leader Pictorial

here is something comforting about the thought of chicken coops dotted throughout the Duncan area, with chickens contentedly pluck, pluck, plucking their way through the day, with the occasional “screech,” which I have always associated with the laying of an egg. We had chickens on “I can see the our acreage in Cobble sense of the rather Hill a few years ago — brown ones, although I detailed rules don’t know what breed they were. Duncan’s new We didn’t get them for chicken bylaw their eggs; we were hoping to acclimatize one of lays out.” our horses who insisted hens were demon lizard monsters from another

Hrushowy

planet and would get all puffed up and snorting with his eyes bugged out! The acclimatizing effort seemed to have worked and we returned the chickens to their original home. I didn’t really miss the little ladies, who had spent their afternoons gossiping among themselves as they scratched for bugs in and around the vegetable garden. Freshly sprouted seedlings are apparently very tasty to chickens. This led me to keeping a stash of little rocks on the sundeck to use to shoo the girls away. Didn’t work for long as they always returned when they saw me go back into the house. One day I ¿red a rock with surprising accuracy and bonged one of the hens square on the head. It dropped on the spot. Boy, I thought, am I ever in trouble! What was I going to tell my wife? Happily, the hen was only dazed; she got up grumbling and complaining to her lady

Bings Creek may not be as convenient as the corner of Cliffs and Banks, but it’s hardly a long hard journey. Duncan taxpayers are already paying for a decent system that effectively takes care of the issue. Taxes are high enough already. Taxpayers don’t need the additional expense this pick-up day will cause. People are perfectly capable of making the trip north.

COWICHAN LEADERS

friends about the idiot with the rocks. If they were laying eggs, I had no idea where that was because we only provided a temporary shelter to keep them somewhat protected overnight. They were going home soon enough, so elaborate fencing and coops didn’t seem justi¿ed. With this limited experience I can see the sense of the rather detailed rules Duncan’s new chicken bylaw lays out. A secure coop makes absolute sense because, as I understand it, rats will get in and steal the eggs if they get a chance. More importantly, from a neighbour relations point of view, keeping those hens in your own backyard must also be deemed essential. A hen pecking and scratching for food can do a rather thorough job of weeding a Àower bed, or vegetable garden, to the point of

altering the design that the human owners had intended. So, let’s see; the new rules require a secure coop and a secure run — both being somewhat costly to provide. And, you have to purchase feed, and keep the coop and run clean and free of smell. Seems like a lot of work when we have so many small farms in the valley offering clean and organic eggs. Maybe Duncan resident Alycejoy Blom was on to something when she insisted: “Support local farmers and pay $2.50 or $3 for a dozen eggs.” Patrick Hrushowy is the president of the Cowichan Valley constiuency association of the B.C.

Waste haulers might have a better offer

Supporting our military not the same as supporting war

Dear editor I was saddened to see Paul Fletcher chose to politicize Remembrance Day in his Nov. 16 column. He cannot resist taking potshots at our present government for spending money on our armed forces after successive Liberal governments simply ignored the need. Does he believe we should just eliminate them? It seems that way because he scolds the government for spending tax dollars on doing much-needed upgrades of our armed forces. It begs the question: why have them at all if they are going to be poorly equipped and unable to do their job? I don’t think you can have it both ways Mr. Fletcher. Either modernize the forces or do away with them. And that begs another question, who then will defend us from terrorist attacks? Would he be willing to let the U.S.A. do the job for us as we surrender our sovereignty to our powerful neighbour to the south? Or is he in the local NDP camp who just a few years ago were calling our troops in Afghanistan the “real” terrorists? About one in four Canadians voted for our present government. In our strong three-party system that is enough to produce a majority government. To make the claim that two-thirds of Canadians somehow do not support the government’s actions and that they are inherently against what most Canadians believe is a bit of a stretch. I am wondering if Mr. Fletcher has done some extraordinary polling to make such a claim. I think most of the people in this country back our military and are supportive of their actions in the cause of peace and ¿ghting despotism and terrorism. Yes, it would be great to stop war forever but it is, unfortunately, never going to happen as long as evil lurks in the hearts of men. I, for one, will continue to remember the sacri¿ces of our armed forces and support the government in the words of the old Boy Scout motto: “ Be prepared.” Reed Elley

In my opinion: CVRD should be consulting private interests

t appears the CVRD may be losing sight of some key elements of the Solid Waste Management Plan. In particular, we note that while the plan’s guiding principles and objectives commit to a “public consultation process in a co-operative manner between government, private enterprise and community stakeholders,” we haven’t been consulted about CVRD moves to get into the waste-hauling business directly, or to establish a new south end ECO Depot when existing, privately operated facilities are nearby. Further, we note the Solid Waste Management Plan does not contemplate nor authorize the CVRD to establish a curbside collection business, Andrew Leong processing facilities and a Àeet of waste-hauling Conductor Robert Mari leads the Cowichan Consort Orchestra and Choir in the presentation of The Armed Man: vehicles.

oung Professionals of Cowichan is an organization still in its

infancy, but hoping to grow through a membership drive. The group that facilitates unifying Cowichan’s Under-45 business professionals is meeting Saturday at the Shipyard Restaurant.

The festivities begin at 6 p.m. “We’re kind of making things of¿cial,’’ said Ryan Bruce, YPC’s public relations person. Christina Tipton of Lake Cowichan is the ¿rst president.

NEW LOCATION NOW OPEN IN DUNCAN MALL

Our exclusive offer is causing waves. $50 for you & $50 to charity.

“Our intent of the Shipyard is to ¿rm up our paid membership,’’ added Bruce. The basis for the organization is ¿ve pillars, according to Bruce: professional development, community involvement, business networking, social networking and personal development. A volunteer component will be important for a very signi¿cant reason. “It seems there’s a trend happening where the volunteers are getting older and older,’’ said Bruce. Considerable focus is being put on professional development. “We feel it’s important to take care of ourselves and what’s right here around us,’’ said Bruce. A small group kicked things off with the organization in April. At that time, “we set a path for building the membership,’’ said Bruce. YPC already has a Facebook page and a website at www.ypcowichan. ca is under construction. Contact to RSVP for the membership drive can be made through the Facebook page or by email at info@ ypcowichan.ca. Mixers are planned every two weeks, with lunch-andlearns once a month. Bruce said Young Professionals are becoming a movement all over the island. He cited the example of the Nanaimo members who raised more than $500,000 to help refurbish the train station there. Similar groups also exist currently in the Comox Valley, Campbell River and Port Alberni. Bruce would like to see the Cowichan organization put on the map as well through a variety of projects, including the Walk of Nations next June. “The walk by itself was great and everyone came together. We felt we could do more with it,’’ Bruce hinted. The group would like to include programs and workshops in the Walk of Nations planning.

Stay Safe from september to december, we’ll give you $50 as well as donate $50 to a charity of your choice when you open a new chequing account*. We want to partner with you to benefit our community by spreading what we call “Waves of Kindness.”

1976: contracts

1976: hearts

DATELINE: COWICHAN

by Ann Andersen

Cowichan District Hospital board and medical staff mounted a campaign to raise money for a $250,000 coronary care unit. In addition to federal and provincial funds, the community must raise $70,000, said CDH board chairwoman Phyllis Whittome.

1976: torches

Despite the offer of an eight per cent salary increase and a dental plan, talks between Cowichan teachers and the Cowichan school board had reached an impasse and would likely go to binding arbitration.

Royal Canadian Legion Cowichan Branch members were driven to the top of Mt. Prevost so they could see CeeVAC members place a lighted torch on the memorial cairn. The torch was carried in relays from the Legion building by the young athletes.

t’s heart-wrenching to hear of deaths on the Malahat and know that most could be prevented by a median. But other stretches of road have experienced more than their share of accidents. Even after the new road was installed at Dougan’s Lake, eight miles south of Duncan, there was trouble with the camber and the sudden intense glare of the sun through the windshield as drivers negotiated the sweeping curves. On a November 1976 morning, four separate accidents involving 12 vehicles caused major traf¿c delays. The accidents, reported police, were triggered by heavy fog and a burning ¿eld and caused more than $10,000 in damage. No major injuries were reported in the series of mishaps — all rear-enders — that put at least one vehicle in the ditch, caused several cases of whiplash and damaged a Nanaimo ambulance on its way to Victoria with a patient. One day later, a tragic accident took the lives of four Crofton teenagers just south of Chemainus when their car reportedly skidded into the path of a truck. Police said the marks indicated the young driver was trying to get back into his own lane when he overcorrected and went into a skid.

McLEAN, Norman Bruce Norman Bruce McLean, much beloved husband of Arlene, went to be with our Lord on November 19, 2012.

Besides his wife Arlene (nee Newton), he is survived by his children Michele, Larry (Donna), Greg and Doug; grandson Jeff (Stacie) and great-granddaughters Jaedyn and Tyce; granddaughter Kristen (Carl) and greatgranddaughter Alexis.

Born in Kamloops, BC on February 27, 1931 he spent his early years in Estevan, Saskatchewan until the age of 17 when Bruce entered his apprenticeship in Winnipeg with the CNR. He held various positions throughout his career at the Transcona Shops until he retired for the CNR in 1987. Bruce and Arlene moved to the Cowichan Valley in 1990. The family would like to thank all the staff at the Hospital and Dr. Gilbert for their compassion, care and respect given to Bruce and the family. In lieu of ďŹ‚owers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice. Memorial service will be held on Monday, November 26, 2012 at 1:00 pm at St. Andrewâ€™s Presbyterian Church, 531 Herbert Street in Duncan, BC. Online condolences may be offered at www.sandsduncan.ca SANDS of DUNCAN 250-746-5212 THORPE-DOUBBLE, Thomas Peter (Pete) Peter was born March 7th, 1915 at the Ramsgate Coast Guard Station which was under his fatherâ€™s command and was being bombed that night by the Germans. Peter was an only child, born to Thomas Leslie and Blanche (nee Foster) ThorpeDoubble. They lived in England for the ďŹ rst seven years of his life while his father was on active military duty as a captain in the Royal Navy, before taking up residence in Oak Bay. Blanche was born and raised in the Cariboo and longed to return to her family, who was by then residing on the Island. Peter was determined not to become a navy man and dropped out of school at an early age. By sixteen he had started his own truck hauling business and for many years contracted hauling logs. He married Ina May Erb on June 8th, 1940. At that time Peter was logging in the Ladysmith area and by 1942 they had moved to a little house in Arcady, just south of Ladysmith. Peter and Ina bought their property in Chemainus in the mid-1940â€™s and built their family home in which they raised their six children. In 1954 Peter and two partners bought ten acres at Cassidy and built the Cassidy Drive-In Theatre. Peterâ€™s intention was to be a silent partner, but by 1956 he took over the operation of the business. Peter never particularly enjoyed working with the public, but he and Ina worked hard to build the business and sold it in 1969, at which time he turned his full attention to raising horses, which was his lifeâ€™s passion. Peter lost Ina in 2000 after sixty years of marriage. He was also predeceased by his grandsons, Terry Young in 1982 and Dustin ThorpeDoubble in 2002. Pete left us in the evening of November 15th, 2012 and is survived by his children, Patricia Ann Lambie, Penny (Ron Evans) Young, Mary (Glen) Hiebert, Joan (Harry) Phillips, Tom (Susan) Thorpe-Doubble, and Steve (Sandy) Thorpe-Doubble, eleven grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren. He was weeks away from the births of two more great grandchildren and his very ďŹ rst great-great grandchild. Peter instilled in his children a strong work ethic and taught them the value of a dollar. He never discarded an item unless all avenues of repair or re-purpose had been explored. He was the epitome of the phrase â€œnecessity is the mother of inventionâ€?. He invented many time and laboursaving devices over the years. He lived by the philosophy of paying cash on the barrelhead . Pete was never one to mince words and his colourful adjectives left his family alternating between mortiďŹ cation and ďŹ ts of laughter. He was a great believer in alternative medicines and lived completely independently until a few weeks before he passed. Special thanks to Nicole who helped Gramps keep his independence a little longer, and to the second ďŹ‚oor staff at Cowichan and District Hospital. Gone, but never forgotten.

Maria Jakovickas passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family at Sunridge Place, Duncan BC, at the age of 84 yrs. Pre-deceased by her loving husband Alfonsas in 2005, her mother Elizabeth Kronstein and her father, Wendle Hanich. Mother to her son Joe (Mary McCuaig), daughters Wendy Quinn (Brian), Maria Brooks (Jim), Sonya (Graham Benson) and Rita Harden (Warren Barker). Sister to Katie (Fritz), Rosi (Fred), Resi (Horst, deceased), Franz (Rosi), and Erna (Horst), who still reside in Germany. Grandmother to Molly, Kyla, Tanya, Cassidy, Lindsay, Derek, Ella, Ashley, Sam, Matt, Brittany, Kirby, Julie, Sabrina, Emily, and Kelly. Great-grandmother to Reubyn, Conner, Stella, Gabriela, SoďŹ a, Kobie, and Katie-Jane. Born in Krndia, Yugoslavia June 25, 1928, Maria bravely travelled alone by sea to Canada, while only speaking German, at the age of 21. Maria settled in Vancouver where she gained employment as a seamstress at the Western Cab Company. It was during this time that she met the love of her life, Alfonsas. Maria and Al were married in Vancouver in 1951. Shortly thereafter, they moved to Lakeside Cabins in Lake Cowichan, then settled in Youbou where they resided for 53 years. Some of Mariaâ€™s enduring attributes included her love of gardening and her talent for knitting her family slippers and toques. She was a well-loved and respected woman in her community and an active member of the Widows Club in Duncan. Maria had a wonderful sense of humor, was a loyal friend to many and was always there when you needed to talk. Mom happily taxied us to our sporting events and never missed school functions. She loved to cook and there wasnâ€™t anything she couldnâ€™t process in her canner with her unbounded energy. Mom loved to be the centre of attention and was happiest when she was surrounded by her family and friends. Hugs were always there for everyone and anyone. We love you Mom and will never forget your many lessons, or the smell of fresh-baked bread when we got off the school bus at the end of the day. Service of Celebration will be held at Sands Funeral Chapel 187 Trunk Road, Duncan, BC Saturday, December 1st at 1:00 pm. Mom you were: â€œAbsolutely Number One Perfectâ€?!!

Girls Änding their rhythm Brentwood volleyball: Provincial appearance will be the eighth straight for the program Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

oach Jill Fougner likes what she’s seeing from her Brentwood College senior girls’ volleyball team at the critical point of the season. The team took a giant leap forward during the AA island championships at St. Michael’s University School, placing second and earning a place in the provincial tournament at Cedar. That will make it eight consecutive provincial appearances for Brentwood. “I think the girls were feeling a bit of that pressure as well,’’ said Fougner. Brentwood came through with Àying colours, with a little help from Head of School Bud Patel. During a spirited talk, Fougner and Patel made the girls aware when they signed up for volleyball at Brentwood, the pressure comes with the program. “I think they really took that to heart,’’ said Fougner. Brentwood placed second in pool play, beating John Barsby and St. Margaret’s in two sets while losing a tight 22-25, 23-25 contest to Lambrick Park. In the quarter¿nals, Brentwood swept Gulf Islands 25-21, 25-15. That set the stage for a semi¿nal with nemesis Cedar.

Setting up the attack helps Brentwood’s Kendra Stoner earn all-star status. After a poor start in the ¿rst game and an eventual 18-25 setback, Brentwood came on strong to take the best-of-¿ve with 25-12, 25-19, 26-24 triumphs. “We had to win that in order to get to provincials,’’ said Fougner. “We just crushed them the second game, 25-12. Everything fell into place.’’ Brentwood lost a rematch with Lambrick in the ¿nal in four sets. Karlien le Roux and Kendra Stoner were named tournament all-stars. Provincials will be played at Cedar starting next Thursday.

hen ¿rst meets worst, it’s almost certain what’s going to happen. Even though Cowichan LMG Pringle, the top team in Div. 1 of the Island Soccer League, scored a 2-0 victory over last-place Gorge Friday night at Victoria’s Hampton Park, it was anything but a foregone conclusion. Cowichan dominated the play but dodged a bullet with a 1-0 lead in the second half when Gorge’s Quinn Van Gylswyk, who possesses a dangerous free kick reminiscent of Cowichan’s Tyler Hughes, sent one off the crossbar. Cowichan eventually went on to score the insurance marker to wrap up the victory. “They’re de¿nitely a vastly-improved team since we played them last,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin. Matt Arnett put Cowichan on the scoreboard just before halftime at 42 minutes. “The second half we really carried that over,’’ said Martin. “We totally outplayed them — the old cardinal soccer sin, we couldn’t put them away.’’ It might have been a frantic ¿nish for Cowichan had Van Gylswyk scored on his free kick. “Finally, we got that second goal,’’ said Martin. “That took the pressure off.’’ The marker came from Tasos Liaros, a Ladysmith product who’s a star in the Victoria Highlanders development program, with 16 minutes to play. The main thing to that point, Martin conceded, was “we stayed patient when we weren’t scoring.’’ Liaros ¿t into the lineup well while Sam Beswick, a recent addition to the team, was solid at right back and received the hard hat for Cowichan player of the game. Martin also expects to add Dan Cato to the playing ranks this week to help ¿ll the void left by some recent player departures. Darian Achurch played goal in place of the injured Joel Wilson and recorded the shutout. LMG continues its road swing with a rare Saturday

Achurch recorded a second shutout in goal for Cowichan United Div. 2 in a 5-0 win over Nanaimo United at home. The last time the teams met it was the ¿rst game of the season for Cowichan and it lost 1-0 “when we should have won,’’ according to coach Neall Rowlings. “This time was very different with three suspensions, four injuries, we had to make do.’’ Jason Ovans was signed and he changed Cowichan’s team for the better. Russell Lederer and Colin Knight were additional call-ups and Ovans, who hadn’t played in years, ¿gured in all the scoring with a goal and assists on the other four. “He was just amazing on our set pieces,’’ noted Rowlings. Other goals scored by Jordon Korven, Jordan Crocker, Knight and Jacob Ready.

he pieces all fell into place for the Duncan Christian School senior girls’ volleyball team to win the island A championship in Campbell River. The DCS girls had three important factors going for them, the intangibles that separated them from the pack. The return of Chantal Bouchard from injury, the great contributions of young players Danielle Groenendijk and Lauren KingNyberg, and the continued consistent and inspirational play from the rest of the team made the difference in the DCS title run. That’s not to mention just how this group ¿t together into a cohesive unit. “It’s not so much we won, it was all about the character-building,’’ said coach Mary Joan Visscher. “It’s exactly what a team should be.’’ The players started to hear and understand a familiar refrain from Visscher. “After every game, my quote to them was ‘winning takes talent, but repeating it takes character,’’’ she said.

POST-GAME WRAP

Cowichan Secondary School grad Amber Thomas ended her U.S. collegiate field hockey career in fine style. Thomas, completing her fourth and final season at the University of Louisville, was selected to the Longstreth National Field Hockey Association Div. 1 All-West region first team and is also

eligible for all-America consideration. Thomas was already an all-Big East Conference ﬁrst-team selection. The Cardinals’ co-captain led the team with 10 goals and 21 points for the season. Her career totals were 24 goals and three assists for 51 points. Thomas and the Cardinals were

ranked 25th nationally and finished with a 12-8 overall record. They earned a seventh straight appearance in the semifinals of the Big East Conference Championship. The season ended with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss in overtime to No. 5 Connecticut in the Big East semifinals.

nactivity didn’t cause any rust to form on the Cowichan Rugby Club’s U18 women’s team. Cowichan came out of the gate strong in a B.C. Rugby Union U18 Women’s League game Sunday at the Herd Road Grounds, building a 27-0 halftime lead en route to a 44-20 victory over top-ranked Bayside. Cowichan coach Brad Skene was extremely pleased with the performance of his players. “The game was predicted to be a tough defensive battle,’’ he noted. “Two very quick tries caught the visiting team off guard and continued pressure on offense and defence allowed Cowichan to build their lead.’’ November, to that point, had included a bye, a cancelled game due to weather and the Remembrance Day weekend for Cowichan so the players de¿nitely weren’t coming into it with any momentum. “We talked before the game about how athletic and skilled Bayside would be and that we need to play our best rugby of the season,’’ Skene indicated. And that’s exactly what transpired. Allie White and Sam Jory went in for early unconverted tries and Cowichan was off to the races.

Cowichan’s focus was to be mentally strong and to execute under the Bayside pressure and that continued throughout the half, with White scoring two more tries before the half while Adrienne Saari added another and Mackenzie Saysell kicked one conversion. Bayside fought back in the second half and broke loose for a couple of long tries, but Cowichan maintained control with White’s fourth try of the game, Jory’s second, one from Brittany Reid and another convert from Saysell. White made her scoring sprees looked effortless, using her long strides to easily leave Bayside pursuers in the dust. Six-foot tall White has aspirations in rugby and, since there wasn’t any U18 option in Victoria and St. Michael’s didn’t have a high school team, she moved to Duncan and enrolled at Cowichan Secondary. “It is very rewarding that she was attracted to our program at the rugby club and the high school,’’ Skene noted. He praised all his players for their actions and commitment during the Bayside game. “There were several key moments in the game where we could have caved under pressure but we stayed strong physically and mentally,” Skene raved. Unfortunately, due to the tiebreak system and numbers, Cowichan is not playing in a B.C. ¿nal this weekend.

Cowichan offers resistance to UVic Rain a drain: McCulloch sisters sparkle in less-than-ideal conditions for women’s game Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

Vic teams provided a tough challenge for the visiting Cowichan Rugby Club men and women in weekend

action. The Cowichan women knew they faced a tall order against a UVic side fresh from the university season.

“The Vikes came on strong and scored right away,’’ noted Cowichan captain Sherry Spence. “The Piggies knew they had to make every tackle and to communicate very well against this team.’’ It was a back-and-forth game with strong scrums in a driving rain, but UVic ended up winning 17-0. The McCulloch sisters — Caity and Nenagh — were both exceptional. “Their ability to steal ball in

contact really helped the Piggies,’’ Spence pointed out. Nenagh McCulloch was co-player of the game for her two try-saving tackles, along with Janelle Kerrone, as selected by the Vikes. The Cowichan First Division men took it on the chin from the UVic Norsemen 67-23 in high-scoring Times Cup action. Both the women and men are away again this weekend.

Mike Needham scored the ¿rst try following a ¿ne back movement and forward drive. Velox fought back to pressure the Cowichan line, but the home team held ¿rm and added to its total when Cameron Hall made a ¿ne weaving run and touched the ball down between the posts.

Velox got on the board with an unconverted try, but Ladysmith’s Quinton Ogden, who’s also a prominent baseball player, replied for Cowichan and Hall converted to bring the halftime score to 19-5.

oin us this Friday, November 30th, for our annual Christmas Kick off Event. This night is for exploring and having fun on a night when most retail businesses stay open late. Parents, grandparents, children and lovers of Yuletide joy all have reason to thank the Downtown Businesses for creating a downtown Christmas launch so appealing, it makes an ‘all-ages’ outing both enchanting and unforgettable. Park your car, walk into town and enter into a familiar and comforting atmosphere where treelined streets sparkle and beautifully decorated holiday windows feature a cleverly disguised and individually named, ‘Lamb’ mascot. Gather together with friends, family, neighbours and visitors for a Kick-Off to launch a month of shopping opportunities. With the chilly, wet and wintry weather we all look to other sources for warmth and comfort – a crackling ﬁre, a warm drink, a hug from a loved one or perhaps a friendly greeting on the street from a familiar face. Downtown Duncan is where community gets together. continued on page B3

Starry Starry Night in Downtown Duncan from page B1

s holiday cheer abounds, and music ﬁlls the air there’s a very good chance that as you wander the streets you’ll happen upon a Christmas chorus. Singing Carolers grace the streets with their Seasonal Songs and familiar Christmas Carols, which remind some of times past, and for the young a new opportunity to hear Carols. Wafting through the air will be another familiar seasonal aroma –chestnuts roasting – on a ﬁre - bring your gloves. While you’re in City Square be sure to explore the collection of Christmas trees that have been donated and decorated by local businesses and service organizations in a desire to add a little sparkle or to remember loved ones at this time of year. If you have to wait in the

cold, there’s lots of street entertainment in and around City Square stage…music, bands, choirs and food too. Don’t forget the coffee shops, hot dog stands and all the restaurants open to keep you warm and entertained. Of course, browsing in any of our

wonderful, d f l iindependently d d tl owned shops is the perfect way to shake off the chill. Read books, look at wonderful gift ideas, play with toys….it’s all a delight. As you and your family munch chestnuts and sip hot mocha, be sure not to spill anything waving at Santa as he arrives at City Hall at 6:30 p.m. Kids won’t want to miss his dramatic entrance down the ﬁre truck ladder! And don’t miss your chance to sit with Santa to tell him your Christmas wishes! This will be followed by the amazing ﬁreworks display at 8 p.m. It doesn’t matter where you are downtown, the best seats in the house will be in the Square for what is sure to be a crowd pleasing display of explosive light and colour.

Black comedy and social symbolism woven into Mercury Players Old Lace Review: Vintage comedy raises questions amidst the laughs

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

n the surface, Mercury Players’ amusing Arsenic and Old Lace is vintage black comedy. But drilling for social symbolism in director Maria Ridewood’s version that debuted last Thursday at the Mercury Theatre — also tapped timely messages about morals, acceptance, romance, and family love. True, Arsenic ain’t a heavy drama or a murder mystery. It’s a comical look at what happens when two spinster sisters, with too much money and time on their hands, come to play boarding-house God — deciding their mission of mercy is putting lonely, old guys to rest with poisonspiked elderberry wine. The sweet sisters have 11 bodies in their basement

cosmetic-surgery lab. Jonathan enjoys killing. Gallacher’s portrayal of a dis¿gured Frankenstein, with temper issues, was adequately chilling. He and booze-soaked surgeon Einstein (Bob Sullivan) elbow into the Brewster home, like gangsters taking hostages. Kesselring’s respective disdain for physicians’ greed, and inept police work, was crystal clear. Despite Thursday’s makeup malfunction, Gallacher simply stayed in character, illustrating how some folks are so wicked, we want them gone. Kesselring strikes again, questioning legal versus deserved capital punishment. Arsenic and Old Lace gave us a long (2 1/2-hour) entertaining look at live theatre — and ways to search for symbolism in unlikely places. Just try not to be suspicious if you’re offered some elderberry wine. Arsenic and Old Lace concludes tonight and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. at the Mercury Theatre.

Island Savings Opens its Doors at Duncan Centre President and CEO Rod Dewar opens the doors to the Island Savings’ new Duncan Centre branch

On November 17, Cowichan Valley residents gathered for the grand opening of Island Savings’ Duncan Centre location at the Duncan Mall. The afternoon event featured speeches, an Aboriginal blessing, prize giveaways, family activities and the opportunity to tour the contemporary, Island-inspired branch facilities. Duncan Centre is Island Savings’ ﬁrst location to feature their revitalized brand, with a redesigned layout that offers more selfservice options (including a 24 hour drive-thru ATM and foreign currency ATM), private ofﬁces to conduct banking and insurance business with advisors, a dedicated community space – with a digital wall – and many other little touches to help members feel right at home. Duncan is where Island Savings’ story began over 60 years ago, and the staff were excited to share the next chapter with the community that has supported them for so long!

“E

very time they play a symphony it’s like a great work of art, like seeing Michelangelo in the museum but played professionally for us.” That is how Ted Rhodes, president of the Cowichan Symphony Society, described the Tafelmusik Orchestra. This internationally renowned orchestra is coming to Duncan “This is a oncein-a-lifetime treat. Sunday afternoon This is brilliant.” as part of its Galileo Project Canadian Tour. The Galileo Project is a unique mix of music and visuals. During the performance 72 HD pictures from various space agencies will be played on a

circular screen to musical selections with astronomical themes. “This is all part of the show. The theme of the show is the Galileo Project, the ¿rst man to invent the telescope. It’s called music of the sphere and it is music about space,” Rhodes explained. Tafelmusik bass player Alsion Mackay elaborates. “In response to an invitation from two of Canada’s most distinguished astronomers, Dr. John Percy and Dr. James Hesser, we created an event which uses music, words and images to explore the artistic, cultural and scienti¿c world in which 17thand 18th-century astronomers lived and did their work,” she writes in the event’s program notes. “Subsequent performances of the concert around the world have brought isnto contact with scientists, stargazers and music-lovers in many diverse communities.” The orchestra, which has played all over the world, specializes in baroque music. This style covers a 150 years of music from the 1600

to 1750. Tafelmusik orchestra plays to and engages with its audience, making its performances unique. “This concert will be played from memory, there is no music on the stage. It’s a stage concert so the musicians will be in the audience, they don’t just sit there. They will walk around and come into the audience.” Rhodes said. The evening is divided into four sections: Harmony of the Spheres (Vivaldi and Lully), Music From the Time of Galileo (Monteverdi, Merula, Galilei, Purcell and Marini), The Dresden Festival of the Planets (Rameau, Handel, Telemann, Zelenka, Lully and Weiss) which includes the Astronomical Drinking Song, and the ¿nale, Harmony of the Spheres II (Bach). Rhodes has always loved orchestra music and is thrilled this professional orchestra is coming to the island, especially to a small area like the Cowichan Valley. It is not often an orchestra of this calibre plays in Duncan. “We are a small community and
