Judge orders psychiatric assessment of accused bowman Shooting victim recovering in hospital: questions surround suspect’s broken nose and black eyes Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
M
arvin Antoniuk Jr. — the valley man accused of attempting to murder his father with an arrow — has been remanded in custody for a psychological
assessment. Antoniuk appeared brieÀy Tuesday before Duncan court Judge Wayne Smith who granted the forensic assessment request from Antoniuk’s lawyer, Jeffrey Arndt, a move agreed to by Crown counsel. The assessment in Port Coquitlam will take about ¿ve weeks, and will determine if Antoniuk, 48, is ¿t to stand trial. The accused was booked to be back in Dun-
can court on April 9. Antoniuk, dressed in a grey sweatshirt, looked haggard and expressionless standing in the witness box as Arndt told Judge Smith why the assessment is needed. “There’s been a history of dissociative conduct,” he said. Arndt noted the accused’s family has also indicated Antoniuk’s condition needs investigating before court hears details of how and why Marvin Antoniuk Sr. was hit in the chest with an arrow Jan. 27 at the family’s home at 1658 Maple Bay Rd. The RCMP said Monday Antoniuk Sr., in his 70s, is recovering in a Victoria hospital after being admitted in critical condition. Antoniuk Jr. was arrested on scene Jan. 27 when he’s alleged to have wounded his
father at about 7 p.m. with a non-hunting, target arrow ¿red from a compound bow, of¿cials say. Exactly what happened at the Antoniuks’ place remains foggy until evidence is presented in court, Arndt explained to the News Leader Pictorial. “Alcohol was involved, no question,” Arndt told the NLP. Questions could centre on how and when the suspect suffered a broken nose, black eyes, and two lost teeth on the night in question. Crown counsel, Brad Tomlin, said it does not appear the suspect was beaten by his father. It was unknown by press time Tuesday if Antoniuk Sr. was well enough to give a statement to police. more on page 4

Question: When a death occurs, who is in charge of making the decision for after death care? Answer: Disposition decisions of the deceased is often a difficult task. By law, the deceased must be buried or cremated in British Columbia. The Cremation, Interment and Funeral Service Act of BC states if there is not a personal representative named in the will, then a spouse will make the decisions. If there is no spouse there is a very specific list to be followed in order to find out who becomes the authorized representative. If wishing more information please feel free to call one of our Funeral Directors.

Man arrested with help of police dog after vehicle taken in Shawnigan Lake

UP FRONT
Shawnigan Lake RCMP have a Shawnigan Lake man in custody after a vehicle was taken without the owner’s consent near Shawnigan Beach Estates. Police responded to a complaint just before 3 a.m. Sunday and located the vehicle a short time later. Police immediately tried to stop the vehicle, but could not due to the driver’s actions. About one hour later, the suspect returned home
and fled on foot when police arrived. RCMP Police Dog Services was called and the work of dog Tony resulted in the accused being located hiding in a neighbour’s yard. He was arrested without further incident. Police say the same suspect has also been identified in an incident where a man had been dropped off by a local shuttle service and threat-
ened the driver with a knife just prior to the stolen car being reported. Charges are pending against Mitchell Wallace, 25, including: taking an auto without the owner’s consent, uttering threats, possessing a weapon dangerous to the public peace, and driving while prohibited.

4-H reports future of farming in good hands Islands Agriculture Show: Next generation’s torches burning bright with a love of farming Peter W. Rusland

-H clubs are an investment in growing Cowichan’s agri-business future, young members explained during the weekend’s Islands Agriculture Fair. “4-H teaches kids what agriculture’s about, and how to take care of animals,” said Tamara Allum, 21, of the Cowichan 4-H Horse Club that mounted a booth in Cowichan Exhibition’s Mellor Hall. “They’ll always be a part of the agricultural industry — they’ll continue having horses or other animals for life.” That ground-level interest fertilizes the valley’s diverse, farming sector. “We’re learning about animals, and some of us can become farmers after learning at an early age about it, so it becomes natural for us,” said Tasmin West, 13. It’s also natural for 4-H kids to boost their self-con¿dence by educating locals about animals and agriculture, indicated Makayla Mercer, 15. “We run lots of shows and that encourages people to bring their animals (to fairs),” she said, noting smarts about feed and grain-growing. “Feeding animals helps animals, local feed businesses, and farmers growing feed,” she said. “It’s a like a big cycle.” That cycle includes having animals as a hobby, signalled Haylee Elzinga, 12. “The elders show kids how to carry on; how to provide (food and feed) through your own garden, and grow feed for your animals,” she said, noting her school education is supplemented by agricultural knowledge passed from her grandfather. Matthew Smith, 16, explained kids involved in the land early get a ¿rm grounding in farming that might mean jobs later. “It may not be a farm position, but an of¿ce

Agriculture Show growing The weekend’s Islands Agriculture Show show saw numbers grow in visitors, industry delegates, and exhibitors, organizers say. Geoff Millar (right) of the hosting Economic Development Cowichan reported the Friday and Saturday ag show, fielded at Cowichan Exhibition grounds, drew 1,500 paid visitors, including some 600 kids from various valley classrooms. Registered farm-industry delegates to educational sessions, hopped to 190 from 140 last year. And exhibitors staging booths, displaying everything from fertilizers to solar hot-water heating, rose to 68 — up by 13 from 2012, Millar said of the show that was taxpayer-cost neutral. “It’s all paid by revenue generated by sponsors, the gate, and exhibitors,” he said.

Sunday. Against the solid thump, thump, thump of drums, backing songs and hugs, more than 250 folks of all backgrounds circled at Duncan’s former downtown mound site, then marched down Trunk Road and across reserve land to the Quw’utsun’ Cultural Centre. ‘Harper: Listen for a Change’ read one sign as noises of discontent rippled through the all-ages crowd scented with sage smoke. “It makes me feel great our people are coming together again,” said drummer Jason Seyward, Sr. “We just want our voices heard.” William Pierre wanted Prime Minister Stephen Harper to hear Aboriginal demands for fair treaty settlements. “Give us all the stuff we’re asking for.” Joyce Scott said she attended to support demands of Natives, and Métis, folks who believe their rights have been trashed by Ottawa’s omnibus bills C-38 and C-45, affecting environmental studies, and much more. “We need to honour our land and

Natives such as Evelyn Thomas face federal effects on land and water rights in Bill C-45, challenged in Idle No More rallies such as Sunday’s gathering in Cowichan. water, not exploit them,” dance teacher Scott said. “It’s obvious. “I don’t think the (government) knows what it’s up against.” Leanne Laberge did. “This is our forth revolution, including 1812, 1885, 1999, and 2013. “We hope this is a peaceful one as opposed to other ones, but it’s in (federal government) hands.” Debra Toporowski told Harper Idle Nor More “isn’t a rally but a movement for change.” “Harper made a formal apology (for Native residential-school abuse), but it was empty. “He’s just using Native negotiations as a smoke screen to take all our rights for water and land, then sell them to corporations — just like (ex-B.C. premier Gordon) Campbell did.”
Bob Isbister prayed for open minds and hearts among national leaders toward Native demands, after centuries of what he saw as cultural and economic abuse. “To set it right, we all must put our shoulders to the wheel — be friends with a First Nations person; hire a First Nations person,” he said. Brant Johnny was angry Harper’s Tories passed omnibus Bill C-45 without consulting Canadians. Local rally co-organizer Sheila Johnny said that bill affects all Cowichanians and their children’s future. “We’re not going anywhere until this (treaty protest) is settled,” vowed co-organizer Evelyn Thomas, telling Harper: “It’s time to take us seriously.” Plans for a fourth Cowichan rally were pending.
MANAGING YOUR MONEY The cost of missing the RRSP deadline Yes, it’s true that investments held within a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is the best tax-deferred, income-building way for most Canadians to save for retirement. It is similarly true that missing the RRSP deadline for making your maximum 2012 contribution can be very costly. • If you are in a high income bracket this year but will have a lower marginal tax rate in a future year, your tax benefit from that future RRSP contribution will also be lower.
• If you are claiming a spousal RRSP deduction for a deceased spouse or common law partner, the contribution to the spousal RRSP must be made in the year of death or during the first sixty days after the end of that year or the opportunity for this deduction will be lost. •The deadline for making RRSP contributions for the 2012 tax year is March 1st, 2013. Don’t miss it and don’t miss out on other tax-saving, incomebuilding opportunities – talk to your professional advisor soon.
• The additional tax refund you didn’t get because you didn’t contribute this year is not available to make investments or pay down non-deductible debt. On the other hand, if you do make your max RRSP contribution and do get an additional refund, you should consider investments appropriate to your diversification requirements and tolerance for risk, rather than depositing your refund into a savings account. • The government does not allow you to make RRSP contributions after the end of the year that you turn age 71. So, if you (or your spouse) are turning 71 in 2013, you should consider making an RRSP contribution by December 31st, 2013, or you’ll lose that tax-saving opportunity. • If you are making a contribution to a spousal RRSP, do it before December 31st each year to reduce the time before it can be withdrawn. Under ‘attribution rules’, a contribution to a spousal RRSP must stay in the RRSP for three calendar years before it is withdrawn, or the withdrawal will be attributed back to the contributor.

they were supposed by a fruitless species. “People were stepping on cherry seeds and tracking them into stores,” she said of staining. Jackson was unsure what species will replace the cherry trees, but said various species will likely be used to provide a shade canopy. “People are very passionate about trees, so we want to get them up as fast as possible.” Duncan has no tree-cutting bylaw. Its policy concerning cutting on public land is to plant one tree for each one chopped. Council has also ordered planting of 100 trees to mark the city’s centennial.

t’s not in high-def, the surround-sound technology has yet to arrive, and it does not exactly feature your typical cast of wall-to-wall Hollywood action heroes. But the latest digital creation to hit screens around Cowichan has a value that can’t be measured by typical Hollywood box of¿ce methods. If you follow local politics, bookmark this address right away: cvrdmeetings.ca/sirepub/meet.aspx. It is the internet address of the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s latest attempt to communicate with the public. It consists of an online podcast of each CVRD board meeting. And it’s a tool we Putting board should be thanking them for. meetings on We stick by the concept that democis participatory and everyone should the net a step in racy attend a local government or board right direction meeting at least once in their lives, if only to observe how the people they put in charge conduct the business of their community. But those who attend on a regular basis can attest to the fact a lot of what goes on can be a humdrum routine of bland reports and technical documents moved and seconded in dull bureaucratese. The broadcast itself is nothing special — a stationary low-resolution camera perched above the board table that records debate. But the point behind it is special. The broadcast comes with a search tied to the meeting agenda that allows you to skim through to the items you are interested in and witness exactly what happened. More importantly, it provides a real, visual record that provides more nuance and detail than any scribe’s of¿cial record ever could. Technology has changed the way we do business in so many areas. And institutions like municipal government have been slow to take advantage. It’s good to see that changing.

Walking side-by-side a step toward reconciliation Maeve Maguire

n 2007, Coast Salish artist Maynard Johnny Jr. and his non-Native friend Ryan Bruce walked across the silver bridge on the Trans-Canada Highway, hoping to be counted. They were protesting a Facebook page called How many Indians on the bridge? The page encouraged drivers to submit the number of First Nations people they saw on the bridge while they drove across it. The page’s creator was quoted in the Times Colonist saying it was all in fun, there was nothing racist about it. Johnny disagreed. “The game was outright racist. What if we said, “Let’s count the black people on the bridge”? It’s no different.” Gone are the days when there was a sign in the theatre stating Native people were required to sit upstairs. But the racism is still there, and while it’s not a
daily occurrence, according to Johnny, it’s weekly. Johnny credits his friendship with Bruce for helping him reconcile his anger and resentment toward non-Native people. The two share a mutual respect for each other and talk at length about government and the First Nations situation. He said, “I can ask him as a First Nations person where he stands on things. I learned from Ryan not to jump to that defensive place. That’s where many First Nations people go. They build that wall because they are angry and intimidated.” Johnny keeps an open mind toward the many non-Native people who know little about his people’s history. “We as First Nations people need to understand people don’t know what happened, or why we are upset today about the residential schools. When they ¿nd out, they are in awe. I like to educate people, to tell them it’s OK to ask questions.” Better understanding is the ¿rst step to reconciliation, but it’s not enough to break apart detrimental assumptions from all sides. There has been a missing piece from the Truth
Maybe Family Day is such a new concept Cowichan really hasn’t decided what to do with it yet. But we should offer a few words of advice to those eagerly anticipating some sort of community celebration marking our latest statutory holiday: maybe you should think about planning your own.

and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), the tribunal that crossed Canada last year. We heard the truth from residential-school survivors about the horri¿c abuses, family separation, and attempted cultural eradication, but there has been no opportunity to reconcile with Native and non-Native people. Now that we are beginning to get the full picture of what happened, what can we do about it? How can we actively make a difference? That walk across the silver bridge was Johnny and Bruce’s way of showing others that an alliance is possible between these two people. Their thinking was if you’re going to count the Native people, you might as well count the nonNatives too. It was a small gesture—fewer than 10 people participated—but it inspired a much bigger walk two years later. The Walk of Nations was created as a legacy to the North American Indigenous Games where people of all nationalities worked side by side to produce the best NAIG event in its history.
Bruce, Jenn George and Michelle Nowzek at Social Planning Cowichan created the event to build on the multicultural relationships that had developed during the Games. This year the Young Professionals of Cowichan are throwing their energy into raising awareness and money for the Walk. There is a symposium about First Nations history for the Young Professionals groups on Vancouver Island, a gala fundraiser in May, and they are speaking to First Nations and other community groups about joining the walk in June. Participating and contributing to the Walk, and the events leading to it, is one way everyone can begin to reconcile with their neighbours.

Idle No More is about a Canada that is best for all Canadians
Dear editor I carefully read and reread John Brackenbury’s Jan. 25 letter about the Idle No More movement (Harper’s only agenda is saving us from ¿nancial disaster) and realized this poor chap must be living in another world. Our governments have for eons of time overspent our tax dollars — a perfect example is their golden pensions and salaries. Having said this, why then is it a hysterical, stupid and outrageous idea for Canadians to stand up and voice their concerns as our constitution allows? We voted these people into of¿ce to manage our country, look out for our well-being and guard our tax dollars to be used in our best interests. Canadians for years have put up quietly with our various government’s poor management of our country, but have now decided it’s too much to see all of our natural resources owned by foreign corporations. Idle No More, really this says it all. Good for those Canadians who banded together, all races, colours, and creeds to stand up for what belongs to us as Canadians, very similar to those Canadians back in 1812. If Mr. Brackenbury equates this “government reduced spending” to saving and balancing our affairs and he was aware of what Prime Minister Stephen Harper is doing, he would realize that for every dollar in cuts Mr. Harper has spent another million of our tax dollars promotes foreign ownership of our natural resources. A simple ¿x to this is that a national naturalresource policy be developed and that foreign corporations can own only 49 % of the development of the resource, and all resources from logs to coal to oil must be processed in Canada by Canadians then and only then exported. Historically in countries that applied this philosophy, it worked and bene¿ted every citizen

Live on the reserve before you judge E&N rail line must be brought back this movement Dear editor to viability Whose land does letter-writer John Brackenbury live on? How does he earn tax dollars, from what resources? Until you pay the original owners, you are in debt. About $1 billion goes to bureaucrats and administrators and their lofty of¿ces. I invite you to live on a reserve for one year, under those conditions and resources. Past governments put us on poor lands, too small to develop while taking our best lands. Surely you live in a fairy-tale land. I grow sick of people who speak of money and rights when they know very little of conditions on reserves. Let me imprison your children, take away their culture and beliefs, their families and security. Deal with it at the point of churches, governance and police who don’t give a darn about you.

So you want a letter published? Here are some tips: Keep it short — 300 words or less; Keep it local — letters raised in response to issues raised in our pages get top priority; Keep it clean — attack the issue, not the individual. You must include your full name, home community and a phone number where we can reach you during office hours. Addresses and phone numbers will not be published. Letters will be edited for clarity, grammar, length and good taste. Name-withheld letters will not be published. We receive more letters than we have space for. Publication is not guaranteed.
Dear editor Who would these people be who doubt that a proper run rail service is purely speculative? Methinks some people have an ulterior motive such as Àogging the land right-of-way for oodles of pro¿t. This rail line must be brought back to viability, no more clapped-out bud cars from Montreal. Change the arrival and departure times so commuters will make full use of the service. G. Manners Cowichan Bay
Council should have asked for this info right from the start
Dear editor Kudos to the Maple Bay Ratepayers Association for hosting a most informative meeting on the Stoney Hill road issue on Jan. 29. And full marks also to all the elected politicians who turned out. The information passed along to citizens that evening was revealing. It is a pity such meaningful consultation did not take place before the ill-fated alternative approval process took place in December. Hopefully our councillors will show they listened well by tabling the matter when it comes up before them on Feb. 6. Mark Kiemele Chemainus

s a proud father and grandfather, I know ¿rst-hand the importance of labour peace and the negative impact prolonged job action has on students, parents, and teachers. That’s why I am proud to be a part of a government demonstrating leadership to break the acrimony and put the needs of children at the forefront. Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Don McRae recently proposed a framework to reach a 10-year labour agreement with teachers that would bring stability to our education system. It would mean children in Grade 2 today could graduate from high school without losing a single day of their education to a labour dispute. This isn’t about the government or the union; it’s about making sure classrooms are never closed to children because the adults can’t agree. It’s about being a good example to them. And another important tool — one designed to help students — is the Fundamental Skills Assessment test. It’s one this government vigorously believes is a way for parents and teachers to better understand how students are doing. The FSA tells us how Grade 4 and 7 students are performing in reading comprehension, writing, and numeracy. Most importantly, it helps us identify young learners who may require personalized guidance and assistance to fully achieve their academic potential. We know from research that when we intervene with classroom supports early in a child’s school career, we can signi¿cantly increase their chances of greater success in later years. The FSA allows us to do this. The tests are supported by parent groups, educators, and the independent Representative for Children and Youth because they understand the information is a valuable tool to ensure vulnerable students do not fall through the cracks. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, British Columbia’s Representative for Children and Youth, puts it best: “Some are suggesting a better approach would be to assess a sample of students in order to obtain a provincial picture of performance. This view overlooks the fact that the FSA is a useful predictor of individual success. Testing just a few students provincewide would eliminate an indicator that a child is in dif¿culty and needs help.” But that’s exactly what Adrian Dix and the B.C. NDP want to do: take away this valuable tool and replace it with random sampling so the information is meaningless. Under the NDP’s scheme, you would lose access to vital subpopulation data. In other words, you would lose access to critical information about how Aboriginal youth, or children in care, are doing in school. These are the very children to whom we should be paying special attention. Why would the NDP want to replace an effective system that is supported by parent groups, educators, and advocates with one that is meaningless? Well, because they promised the union they would. Dix and the NDP would do away with a valued assessment tool — one that provides vital information about children potentially at risk – not because the tests aren’t valuable, but because one of their biggest backers has issued their marching orders. John Les is a B.C. Liberal MLA for Chilliwack.

lthough Duncan’s dog park has been around for more than ¿ve years, that doesn’t mean folks aren’t in need of a brush-up on its doggy dos and dont’s. “There are quite a few rules and guidelines actually,” North Cowichan parks and recreation manager Ernie Mansueti said of the unsupervised park located on Beverly Street. Infractions that come up most for Mansueti often involve the park’s age restrictions — which state children must be older than 10 years to enter the park, and any dog handlers must be 15 or older — as well as aggressive dogs causing chaos. Besides that, the Somenos Creek Dog Park has acted as a positive place not only for pooches but their owners as well, Mansueti said. “The users of the park have been absolutely fabulous,” he said. “It’s a very well-used park.” Ladysmith resident Judy Lindop agreed. She said the majority of folks who come to the park use it exactly the way it should be. “It’s a great park and there are some great people and their pets that come here,” she said.

Shiloh, a Äve-year-old West Highlander, visits Somenos Creek Dog Park in January. She brings Shylo, her border terrier, to the park for some much-needed socialization and playtime when she’s in Duncan doing errands. She and Shylo braved soggy weather last week as part of their weekly routine. “We haven’t had any serious problems here at all,” she said, noting her only pet peeve is owners leaving their pooch’s poop along the outskirts of the fenced-park. But the consensus remains most folks are minding their Ps and Qs.

The park is ideal for owners who aren’t comfortable letting their dog off leash in open areas, or have the time or health to walk, run or hike with their dogs. And there’s peace of mind knowing there are fences and secure gates surrounding the premises, one user, whose dog is deaf, said last week. “We did a lot of research and we worked with other municipalities with dog parks,” Mansueti said of the park project which came to life in 2008. And with any park, facility, meeting place
there are folks who use common sense and those who need be reminded of the rules. “If your dog shows any sign of aggression you don’t bring them or you take the dog away, right away,” Mansueti said. “You really need to know your dog.” “And you can’t just throw your dog in the park and sit in the car either,” he said. “It’s like if you took your small child swimming, you would be in the water with them too, wouldn’t you?’’

Racing birds require special meals for maximum athleticism before the big race, he said. “They’re fed top quality feed, including peas, corn, wheat and barley. And closer to the races they eat real high-energy food. “They’ve got the same pedigree as race horses,â€? he said. “The modern racing pigeon has been speciÂżcally bred from a variety of pigeons and unlike the feral pigeons which plague most cities of the world, the racing homer is to pigeons what the thoroughbred racehorse is to horses,â€? conÂżrmed the Mid-Island society’s website. “Racing pigeons are bred down from many generations of forbearers, from which certain attributes such as performance, stamina, intelligence, size and breeding ability have evolved.â€? Races are held every weekend, usually on Tomshak’s property once the season opens, which is in mid-April and runs until October. Race organizers choose distances, most often 100- or 200-mile runs for the birds to compete in. Their release time is documented as is their arrival. And like with any sport there are risks.

y the way, did you hear: • Les Mann tells us local band Lucy Mistreated received a lot of positive comments in the wake of a recent NLP article. He thinks the Peter W. Rusland piece helped the band jump from fourth place to second in best teen band in B.C. competition. Vote at bandcontest.youthink.ca. • Arlene Robinson wants the community to know that Neighbourhood House in Chemainus is collecting gently used household furniture to help out the families who lost their belongings in the Lockwood Villa apartment ¿re last month. Give her a call at 250-246-3203 if you can help out. • Condolences to the family of Ron Jarvis, the local doctor who died late last month at the age of 58 after a six-year struggle with early-onset dementia. Ron was the early face of Cowichan’s edition of the annual Walk For The Memories. • In other Walk For Memories news, Duncan’s Bill Zylstra of Investors Group received a framed print by B.C. artist Ted Harrison in recognition of the company’s support as title sponsorship of the latest edition of the walk. This year the walk was dedicated to Janice Rees. • Add Charles Davidson of Cobble Hill to the list of locals sharing stories of Cowichan Christmas spirit. He lost his wallet 10 days before

ON STAGE
His name is Mike Feeman. Hers is Tania Opland. Together, they have the Cowichan Folk Guild excited about its Feb. 9 monthly Duncan coffeehouse. “This duo is rather astonishing — she’s from Alaska and he’s from England, and between them they play hammered dulcimer, fiddle, guitar, recorder and whistle, excellent percussion, sing, and have a wonderful stage presence,” Folk Guild
artistic director Robert McCourty said in an email. Their repertoire is vast, and includes things like sing-alongs in Russian. Their credits include numerous U.K. and U.S. tours and seven albums and fans around the world. “Freeman and Opland will have you out of you seats,” McCourty states. “Do not miss this extremely talented duo at the February Cowichan
Folk Guild coffee house. The duo takes the stage Saturday at the Duncan United Church, 246 Ingram St., Duncan. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. open stage begins at 7 p.m. The evening also includes the usual coffee house open mike. Admission for CFG members is $5, for non-members it is $10. No charge for open-stage performers.
Golly gee whiz, Oklahoma’s a good’un Review: South Island Musical Society delights with barnyard classic Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
O
klahoma! lassoed all that exooberant singin’, great dancin’, and prairie-dog laughin’ all wrote up in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s big Broadway moosical which opened Friday down in the Cowichan Theatre. South Island Musical Society’s spunky cast, led by Lesley Croghan and choreeographer Cathy Schmidt, waltzed real good with Hilary Coupland’s pit orchestry. But as good as Oklahoma! was, this trusty stage saddle needed a dab o’ creative oil on its editin’ shears to shine it up even more. But there ain’t no mistake. The venerable valley troop is growed-up right, usin’ trained talent, and minin’ actin’ potential, as seen in Oklahoma! and it’s reecent produkshuns. Them smarts, all that great orchestra pickin’ and tootin’, and them clever sets, almost guarantee sumthin’ your family’s gonna remember. Friday’s full house loved SIMS’ version of this rollickin’ love stury. The cabin, windmill, and smokehouse, by set designer Geoffery Cram glowed all shiney-like under that glowin’ lightin’. Doc Graham Brockley’s aw-shucks cowpoke, Curley, was purfecly paired by purdy Sarah Lane’s virtuous, barley-been-kissed Laurey. Their swap from words of little schoolin’ to colossal croonin’ was real remarkible. Laura Cardriver steered her way well as crusty Aunt Eller, referee to hi-jinx aplenty as bumpkin chaps from the bunk house chased a Àirtin’ chorus of skirts. Comic relief was nailed by set-builder Cliff Braaten’s pole-cat peddler, Ali Hakim. Toss in Emily Brockhurst’s annoyin’ cackle as Gertie, Jim Armstrong’s shot-gun packin’ Old Man Carnes — plus teasin’ Ado Annie (songbird Georgia Bennett) “Oklahoma! was chased by lovestruck (shiny theatrics by a charmin’ night Will Josiah George). to remember.” A don’t fergit stage greenhorn Dave Ehle’s dramatic work as doomed dud, Judd, was nothin’ short o’ stellar. The Poor Judd Is Daid scene, where kindly Curley tries coaxin’ seedy Judd outta his sulkin’, was real magic-like. So was Laurey’s dream about Curley been daid after been choked by Judd.
Rusland
TEAMAN DUNC
Yes, fans got the heapin’ helpin’ of live theatrics they come for. Still, their Oklahoma! mighta been more. Just shy o’ three hours, includin’ a 20-minute intermission, the 20-scene show hit some slow clip-clops. Gun play by Curley and Judd, plus Aunt Eller’s attenshun-gittin’ pistol shot, needed realistic shootin’ irons packin’ blanks, not an offstage ‘pop’. The ¿nal ¿ght betwixt Curley and Judd also needed a real dust-up. Costumes by Georgie Weeks Heyd was sensational, but mighta been better by a homemade-look of Àour-bag dresses, baggy pants, and a grab-bag of bowlers, top hats and skimmers — insteada just cowboy hats. However, Oklahoma! was a charmin’ night to remember. It’s must viewin’ for local Broadway buffs. Oklahoma! rides agin Feb. 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. Romance-musical ratin’: 9 spurs out of 10.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Harry Haldorson after a short illness and stay in the Cowichan District Hospital. He leaves to mourn his loving wife, Verna, his sons Don (Elizabeth), Eldon (Sherry) and daughter Marlyn (Greg), eight grandchildren and eight greatgrandchildren. Harry has lived in the Cowichan Valley since 1948 and during these years worked at Hillcrest Mill in Honeymoon Bay and in Chemainus as a millwright for many years. He retired in 1982 and enjoyed the last several years spending time with family and friends. He had a very strong work ethic and he instilled that value in his offspring. Harry loved being with people and never missed an opportunity to spend time with family and friends. Over the past few years, he would often be found with his good buddies Jeff, Tommy and Rudy at various coffee shops around Duncan. He loved going to the OAP during the week and playing crib with his friends. Perhaps this was the activity which kept his mind sharp and clear to the very end. Harry served in the Navy during the Second World War and through these experiences he had developed a compassionate, caring concern for others. Even when he wasn’t feeling well, he always asked how everyone else was doing. When in good health, he volunteered his time at the local Food Bank and did what he could to help others. Harry had a wonderful sense of humour and even while in hospital he could be found making little jokes to cheer us up. The family wishes to thank the staff at CDH an his family doctor, Roy Gilbert, for all the compassionate and excellent care shown to Harry during his stay. We are truly grateful for all their efforts to make him as comfortable as possible. In lieu of owers the family would ask that donations be made to the local SPCA FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL SERVICES

voiding ties helped Cowichan LMG Pringle stay ahead of the pack in Div. 1 of the Island Soccer League. But the situation has changed drastically in the last three weeks, with Cowichan playing to ties against the bottom two teams in the division. A chance at the league title to complement its recent Jackson Cup success now seems remote for Cowichan. Cowichan’s game on the road against Prospect Lake Saturday ¿nished scoreless, the same result that occurred two weeks ago when Cowichan and Salt Spring Island both failed to produce any goals. Prospect is in ninth place with just seven points and Salt Spring is last with six. Yet, Cowichan couldn’t match its vaunted offense of a year ago with a goal against either team. As a result, Bays United Liquor Plus has taken over top spot with a 14-1 record for 42 points from 15 games. Cowichan slipped to second at 13-1-2 for 41 points from 16 games and Saanich Fusion stands third at 13-1-1 for 40 points from 15 games. Cowichan visits the Fusion Friday and could drop all the way to third if it doesn’t get a result. While the Cowichan defence remains strong with just eight goals against, the offense isn’t producing the goals.
Fusion cements 1-0 victory
Andrew Leong/Âżle
Great goalkeeping by Darian Achurch always gives Cowichan United Div. 2 a chance to win, no matter what the circumstances. “It’s a little depressing. We couldn’t put it away,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin of the Prospect Lake game. “They worked hard. They had a game plan. They sat back and absorbed a lot of punishment.’’ The Prospect goalkeeper made three key saves off Tyler Hughes. Cowichan also had an apparent goal by Ryan Andre nulliÂżed on an offside. Martin felt optimistic at halftime that something would break in the second half. “It was just feeling like it was a matter of time,’’ he said. Cowichan goalie Joel Wilson was forced to make a couple of key saves
Cowichan United of Div. 2 had its two-game win streak snapped in a 1-0 loss on the road Saturday against the Saanich Fusion. Cowichan remains just above the .500 mark, tied for third place at 7-6-2. Saanich came out strong and put Cowichan under the gun. Goalkeeper Darian Achurch made a big save on a well-placed free kick, but Saanich still opened the scoring with the only goal it would need on a header from a long throw-in. Cowichan stepped up and made it an exciting game, but couldn’t ¿nd the equalizer. Jordan Korven turned in an outstanding performance, playing centre defense and ¿nishing at striker. George Thomas joined the United ranks for the ¿rst time this season and proved to be a valuable addition. Cowichan plays its ¿nal league game Sunday at 2:15 p.m. at McAdam Park against league-leading Lakehill United. Lakehill won the previous meeting of the teams 2-0. But Cowichan hopes its solid home record will make a difference in the rematch since only one team has left the valley with a tie this season.

on Prospect counterattacks. “We were pressing hard,’’ said Martin. Jesse Winter was not in the lineup, but Cowichan found an admirable Âżll-in to play alongside Hughes in Brennen McCleary from the Victoria Highlanders. The key game with the Fusion will be followed in short order by a Âżrst round Jackson Cup battle against Bays United Feb. 16. “If defense wins the Cup, we’re going to be in good shape,’’ said Martin.

Rachael Bakker Rachael Bakker doesn’t sacrifice tenaciousness, but knows the Duncan Christian School Chargers senior girls’ basketball team can’t afford to have her in foul trouble. “Sometimes it’s hard not to foul like a fast break or something your feet aren’t planted,’’ said Grade 12 student Bakker, 17, part of the DCS team’s twin tandem with sister Olivia. “She will go after the ball,’’ said coach Michelle Nederlof. “But she’s pretty clean so we’ve been fortunate with her and fouls this year. She’s learning how to include all the players on our team and is looking for all corners of the key and passing it outside. She realizes she’s a playmaker and has to put that ball in the hoop, but she also realizes that there’s other ways to do it.’’ The Bakkers also realize the team is depending on them for success. “It’s really important that Olivia and I just take more of a leadership role,’’ said Rachael. Her sports calendar with volleyball and basketball has always been full. “It’s really nice cross-training,’’ she said. “It really helps keep you in shape. I think I would probably choose basketball post-secondary, but I love volleyball as well.’’

Duncan Skating Club teams performed well in the Mountain Synchronized Skating Championships for B.C. and Alberta entries at Abbotsford. The Elementary team, left, placed first and the Beginner I team, far left, came second. “Both teams skated flawless programs,’’ noted coach Lorraine Francisty. “I am very proud of all of them on their performances.’’

Inside lane is occupied by Travis McDonald of Cowichan, above, as he goes up for a shot against Liam Catto of St. Michael’s University. Cowichan won the championship game 56-55 Saturday. Below, Callan Rakimov of Cowichan wins the Äght for the ball over Jeff Calton of Stelly’s Friday.
owichan Junior T-Birds are not only blowing lesser opponents away, they’re playing clutch basketball against the tough teams. The host T-Birds captured top spot in their own Thunderbird Classic Saturday with a 56-55 victory over St. Michael’s University School. The game tested the character of the team after it trounced Handsworth 54-39 in the semi¿nal and destroyed Stelly’s 98-13 earlier. “I think we’re de¿nitely moving in the direction of being an elite team,’’ said co-coach Graham Scargall. “The Handsworth team coach said, ‘We played just as well as we could play and couldn’t keep up.’’ “I think the biggest thing is we’re still improving,’’ said co-coach Lucky Walia. “The pieces are working together.’’ It’s not always easy to get players on the same page. But the T-Birds’ mix of scoring, rebounding and defensive talent is a formidable combination. “They’re starting to buy in with the ball movement,’’ said Scargall. The great thing for Scargall about the end result is Cowichan went 1-4 against St. Michael’s with essentially
the same core group of players on both sides in Grades 8 and 9. The ¿nal, Scargall added, was “maybe closer than it needed to be in the last two minutes, but we’ll work on ironing out those details.’’ Cowichan led by 14 points at the half before St. Michael’s came charging back. “We de¿nitely managed to survive the onslaught, even though it was a bit exciting at times,’’ said Scargall. Handsworth won the third-place game over Walnut Grove 47-24. Oak Bay beat Claremont 61-38 for ¿fth and Valleyview escaped the cellar in the eight-team event and took seventh spot with a 49-26 triumph against Stelly’s. Josh Charles of Cowichan was named the tournament’s most valuable player while teammates Tyler Hudson and Travis McDonald were selected as all-stars. The rest of the all-star team included Graeme Hyde-Lay and Max Pollen of St. Michael’s, Mihai Lapuste of Handsworth and Andrew McKay from Walnut Grove. Cowichan plays a league game at Chemainus Thursday and an exhibition against Mount Douglas Saturday before hosting the Mid-Island tournament Feb. 15 and 16. “They’re the nicest group of guys you could ask for,’’ said Scargall of the T-Birds.
Islanders, Storm heading for a Feb. 17 showdown News Leader Pictorial
N
othing else that’s happened to the Kerry Park Islanders this season will matter Feb. 17. That’s when the Islanders take on the Campbell River Storm in a Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League wild card game to determine which of the two teams moves into the playoffs. The game will be played at Victoria’s Bear Mountain Arena at 1:30 p.m. “We’ve been doing pretty good against them,’’ said veteran Islanders’ forward Kyle Peterson. “It’ll be an intense game.’’ The bottom two teams in the respective south and north divisions will square off two times before then, Friday at Campbell River and the following Thursday, Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at Kerry Park Arena. But it’s the game on Feb. 17 that will
determine which team advances with the other seven league members to the postseason. Kerry Park had another strong outing against a highly-regarded team, the Saanich Braves, Saturday at Kerry Park Arena, but lost 7-4. “We were up 2-0 and they came back and won,’’ said Peterson. “We don’t play a full 60 minutes and they have a lot of skill guys on their team.’’ Eric Mansueti led the Islanders with a pair of goals. Kyle Peterson and Cody Short notched singles. “All of our games have been really close games,’’ said Peterson of the Islanders’ meetings with the Braves. The Islanders’ leading goal-scorer, Alex Milligan, was called up by the B.C. Hockey League’s Cowichan Valley Capitals. His presence to complement Peterson’s scoring was sorely missed.

rentwood College juniors hung tough with Cowichan’s explosive Junior T-Birds for three quarters Thursday at Cowichan Secondary School. But Cowichan ¿red up the attack and tightened up the defense to turn a 38-30 lead into a 53-32 victory in junior boys’ basketball league action. “Cowichan started the fourth quarter with a sense of urgency,’’ noted co-coach Lucky Walia of the team’s 15-0 run before Brentwood scored the ¿nal basket. Josh Charles led Cowichan with 24 points and Tyler Hudson added 10. Skylar Rustad was tops for Brentwood with 15. “I was very pleased with our game against Cowichan,’’ noted Brentwood coach Liam Sullivan. “They are one of the best teams in the province with arguably the best player for his age in the province in Josh Charles. So for us to be within six points at half was a great result.’’ Brentwood is having a strong season with a 16-4 record overall and two tournament wins.

Islanders’ Kyle Peterson tries to break away from the Saanich defence. Peterson said the Islanders still need to do some work if they hope to win the wild card game and make any kind of impression in the playoffs if they qualify. “It’s mostly our defensive zone we need to work on,’’ he said. “Our offensive zone is doing pretty good.’’ The Islanders face off against the Nanaimo Buccaneers Saturday at 4 p.m. at Cowichan Arena in Duncan as part of Hockey Day in the Valley.
Queen of Angels School placed ¿rst in both junior boys’ and girls’ categories during the Campbell River Invitational wrestling meet. “I’m very pleased with the team results for junior boys and junior girls,’’ said coach Nick Zuback. Fifty-four kids from the valley competed, broken up into school teams for this meet rather than the Cowichan Valley Wrestling Club banner. Andrea Morris topped the charts in 43-kilogram girls for the fourth time this season. “She kept on doing what she’s done in the past,’’ said Zuback. On the boys’ side, Ryan Kuruvita had a great meet, winning the 54 kg boys’ class. Results of other top ¿nishers in junior girls’ divisions were as follows: 34 kg — Eachoe Siatecki (Queen of Angels) third;
43 kg — Nadya Ellis (Queen of Angels) third, Natasha Williams (Queen of Angels) fourth; 64 kg — Rayne Hankins (Quamichan) ¿rst, Kylie Kinrade (Queen of Angels) third; 40 kg — Stephanie Mould (Queen of Angels) third; 54 kg — Pandora Smith (Queen of Angels) ¿rst. Junior boys’ top ¿nishers were: 35 kg — Xavier Juneau (George Bonner) ¿rst, Antonia Diaz (Lake Cowichan) second; 45 kg — Quinn Smith (Queen of Angels) fourth; 48 kg — Nicholas George (Queen of Angels) fourth; 51 kg — Fraser Smith (Queen of Angels) second; 54 kg — Will Wright (Queen of Angels) fourth. In senior girls, Hannah Lauridsen of Cowichan placed third in 60 kg. Colton Koopman of Cowichan placed ¿rst in senior boys’ 70 kg, Kayden Dorma from Kelsey came second in 48 kg and Cowichan’s Owen Pite grabbed fourth for 63 kg.

Concussions another challenge for Caps Hard knocks: Injuries to key players Cooper and Brown not making it any easier to end struggles Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
T Andrew Leong
Keeping things light on the Caps’ bench, Darren Rodney enjoys a chuckle in conversation with interim head coach Aaron Plumb.
he last thing Aaron Plumb needed while making his head coaching debut with the Cowichan Valley Capitals was more adversity. Concussions took two key players out of the Caps’ lineup before and during a B.C. Hockey League doubleheader against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. No. 1 defenceman Jarrett Brown suffered a concussion in practice and didn’t play during Friday’s 4-1 loss to the Bulldogs in Port Alberni. He returned to the lineup
Saturday at Cowichan Arena in a 5-3 setback against the Bulldogs, but clearly wasn’t 100 %. Forward Steen Cooper lasted three shifts in Port Alberni before leaving with a concussion. “I imagine he’ll be out for a long time,’’ Plumb said of Cooper. “It’s not my debut I was hoping for. It’s been one of those years. It doesn’t matter how hard you work, it just doesn’t go your way.’’ Luke Gordon scored the Caps’ lone goal Friday. The Caps brought up local product Alex Milligan Saturday from the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League’s Kerry Park Islanders to help ¿ll the void at
forward left by Cooper’s injury. “He’s a good kid and he’s got some grit to him,’’ said Plumb of Milligan. The Caps had a 3-1 lead on the Bulldogs in the rematch after the second period, but couldn’t hold on. “It seemed like the wheels fell off the bus,’’ said Plumb. Alberni’s Evan Tironese started the comeback in the ¿rst minute of the third on a power play. Nicholas Kerr tied it less than three minutes later and Tironese notched the winner with 2:16 remaining before Ryan Lough’s empty-netter in the last two seconds. Hayden-James Berra, Grant
Nicholson and Jesse Neher scored for the Caps. Plumb said his mandate is to be there for the kids and keep them positive. “It’s a bit of an honour to be looked upon to try and have the composure and keep ourselves together at the seams,’’ he said. “It’s also very stressful. I care about the kids. I’m going to do the best I can.’’ The Caps play a home-andhome with Nanaimo Friday and Saturday and visit Powell River Sunday. “It’s going to be tough,’’ said Plumb. “It doesn’t matter what we’re dealt, we’ve got to play it.’’
Eating healthy, staying wealthy

ating on a budget doesn’t have to mean an endless rotation of ramen noodles and boxes of macaroni-and-cheese. “Healthy eating really doesn’t have to break the bank,” says Carol Dombrow, a registered dietitian for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “Once you know what to look for, you will realize that eating well can be inexpensive, easy and quick.” Carol shares some tips for healthy dishes on a budget: • Keep healthy staples, like legumes, whole-grain pasta and herbs and spices on hand. • Always shop with a list and a plan. Download the Health Check Recipe Helper app at heartandstroke.ca/mobileapps. • Buy seasonal vegetables and fruit and check out the frozen and canned lower sodium varieties.
• Cook healthy meals in batches and freeze. • One-pot meals, such as stews, chili or soups are a great way to get your nutrition, while stretching your budget. • Check your cupboards and refrigerator before going shopping. • Check for coupons and the weekly flyers for deals on healthy items. • Eat before you shop. This will help you avoid buying foods not on your shopping list. For more information on healthy recipes and tips, visit healthcheck.org.
