Watchdog wants Pompeo off the public payroll ASAP B.C. Civil Liberties Association: RCMP say judge’s ruling gives no reason to change officer’s restricted duty status quo

Cowichan pilot program making big strides in attaching patients to family doctors was so successful it is being taken province-wide. As part of the GP for Me program, a plan announced last week to meet the lofty goal of ¿nding a family doctor for everyone in B.C. by 2015, the B.C. government revealed the Cowichan Valley Division of Family Practice as one of its three prototypes. “We know that a strong primary care system built around continuous doctor-patient relationships can improve health outcomes for patients,” said Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid. “This new program will make it easier for physicians to provide high-quality care to their patients, and in many cases ease their workload so that they can accept more patients into their practices.” The Cowichan Valley Division of Family Practice exempli¿ed exactly that. “As a prototype community, we needed to do a bunch of the foundational work,” CVDFP chair Tom Rimmer said. According to the province, new primary care clinics were opened for patients, more doctors were recruited, more on 9

here’s no change in former North Cowichan/ Duncan Const. David Pompeo’s status with the Nanaimo RCMP detachment following his conviction for aggravated assault. “I read the judgement,’’ said Supt. Norm McPhail, Nanaimo detachment’s commanding of¿cer. “There’s nothing in the judgement that causes us to change his duty status. “He’s on restricted non-operational duties which means that he remains working for the RCMP but in a nonoperational position which means he’s not interacting with the public and he doesn’t have access to use-offorce tools,’’ said McPhail. Pompeo was found guilty Feb. 14 Pompeo: in the shooting of Bill Gillespie near David Still working Chemainus in September of 2009. The B.C. Civil Liberties Association has some de¿nite concerns regarding Pompeo’s status. “We’ll be watching very carefully,’’ said Josh Paterson, executive director of the non-pro¿t BCCLA, from Vancouver. “If this drags on, we’ll be concerned if this of¿cer remains on the public payroll.’’ Paterson contends the RCMP should not be waiting until sentencing before removing Pompeo from his duties. “It’s beside the point,’’ he said. “They should move now and not wait two months or whatever it’s going to be in order to take action. “There’s no real question about what the appropriate response should be. They need to be moving very swiftly for discipline and, in our view, termination,’’ said Paterson. “We would expect that an of¿cer who has been convicted should be facing internal disciplinary proceedings and that status ought to change. He shouldn’t be on the public payroll for a great length of time.’’ The BCCLA has supported Gillespie throughout the trial process, sending a lawyer to monitor some of the proceedings in Duncan. “We’ve de¿nitely had concerns about the length of time this whole thing has taken,’’ said Paterson. more on 9

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 3
Should Cowichan Lake store more water for a longer time? Will better bucket control reduce the risk of the Cowichan River running dry? The provincial government is prepared to take a close look at the idea. The ministry of Natural Resources is considering a new plan for controlling water levels in Cowichan Lake. A public meeting has been scheduled for March
9 in Lake Cowichan to present it and gather public feedback. Sparked by the Cowichan Valley Regional District in response to last year’s near-drought, the change would effectively use the weir to store more water in the lake longer. The CVRD is asking storage to be
increased by 20 centimetres above current June and July levels, and extending the latest possible date to begin drawdown from July 9 until the end of the month. The public meeting is set for the Lake Cowichan Centennial Hall at 10 a.m.

estructured Catalyst Paper wants to convey the message it’s changing with the times and an abundance of jobs are going to be available in the next few years due to retirements. Catalyst president and C.E.O. Kevin Clarke spoke to a gathering of Chemainus and District Chamber of Commerce members and invited guests Monday at the Crofton Community Centre, painting a rosy future picture for the company since it emerged from bankruptcy proceedings last September. “On a yearly basis, we’re going to come out and make sure we’re communicating to all of our stakeholders in the various communities,’’ said Clarke, who was joined by Crofton division general manager Robert Belanger. “These are great opportunities for me to hear business people or retirees.’’ A lot of people supported Catalyst’s restructuring, Clarke said, and he’s hopeful of a far more positive 2013 than 2012. When Catalyst completed bankruptcy proceedings Sept. 13, it became “the largest Canadian company to come in and out,’’ Clarke said. “I would have preferred not going in.’’ But the experience of easing the debt load and selling off assets has left Catalyst in a much better position within world markets. “It gives us a strength and ability to withstand those Àuctuations in the marketplace,’’ Clarke said. “One of the things big companies don’t do well is change and adapt. When you don’t change and adapt, you don’t survive. I can tell you we’re changing at light speed.’’ One of the things Catalyst has done is introduce new product lines such as Marathon Lite, a newsprint grade that supports the Latin American market. It’s 17 % lighter, Clarke said. “It has the same print holdout. It’s primarily for newsprint.’’ Clarke said eight or nine new products

Along those lines, Catalyst is stepping up its campaign to let educators know of the opportunities that are going to exist in the company so students can start preparing now to ¿lter into some of those jobs. Clarke planned to meet with educators in the region during his tour to the island to help spread the news about getting people to funnel from starting jobs up to engineers and scientists who will be in high demand in the industry. He said 81 people were hired at Crofton last year and “there’ll be additional hiring this year.’’
Company-wide, “in the next ¿ve years, we’re going to lose 50 to 60 % of our employees to retirement,’’ said Clarke. “The amount of skill shortage is huge, probably one million people short over the next ¿ve years in Canada. That’s an issue we’re working with the federal government on.’’ Catalyst’s public relations campaign includes organizing a day for Chamber of Commerce members and business people to tour the mill. “We’ll try to get that scheduled and get people through the mill,’’ said Clarke. A public open house is also being considered. An inevitable topic that arose dur-
ing question period was the Cowichan watershed issue and Catalyst’s operation of the weir. “We’ll continue to very robustly support that,’’ said Clarke. “We’ll continue to put every resource necessary in there.’’ There are already concerns about lower water levels matching last year. “We’re watching it very carefully,’’ Belanger said, to see “if we have to make a decision to operate the weir early.’’ Meanwhile, Belanger continues to do double duty as GM for both the Crofton and Port Alberni mills. Once a new manager is hired for Alberni and has spent a bit of time there, Belanger will return to Crofton on a fulltime basis.
all it the totalling of the totes. The ¿rst stage of the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s new curbside collection service started arriving in the mail this week: a survey asking users what kind of trash tote they would prefer. “Although the use of easyroll totes has increased recycling rates in other jurisdictions across B.C. by up to 30 percent, we are offering people the chance to choose one of four custom tote sizes if they prefer something bigger or smaller than the recommended household size,” CVRD waste operations superintendent Jason Adair said in a press release. The totes will replace yellow or blue recycling bags in CVRD electoral areas when the program launches this summer. Residents will automatically receive recommended size totes for their curbside materials, unless they custom order a preferred size by March 22. Residents wanting to inspect their tote choices ¿rsthand will get that opportunity. “We have some permanently on display at Bing’s Creek, but also hope to have some set up at the CVRD main of¿ce as well as Kerry Park Recreation centre,” Adair said. “Once we’re up and running with the new service, people will have additional time to switch totes if they ¿nd they need a better size to suit their needs after the fact. So, there are lots of options for people.” Surveys are available online at cvrdrecycles.bc.ca/ curbside.

Solo kayak trip to Hawaii goes under Coast guard rescue: Kayaker pledges to try again after being swamped on his first day out Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
S
easoned sea kayaker Wave Vidmar’s epic California to Hawaii paddle — in a Cowichan-made kayak — came to a soggy end Christmas Day. Vidmar — who spoke to the News Leader Pictorial in Chemainus last summer while preparing for his bid to make history’s longest solo-kayak crossing — didn’t respond to an interview request from the News Leader Pictorial in the wake of the failure. However, Nick Horscroft of Seaward Kayaks — the Chemainus ¿rm that custom-built Vidmar’s 22-foot, double Passat G-3 — and reporter Tom Sims of the International Herald Tribune, stitched together what happened to the failed 3,100-mile ocean odyssey. Horscroft’s press statement relates Vidmar’s account of his 2012 Seaward Paci¿c Expedition “albeit with an ending we didn’t foresee.” At 3:50 p.m. on Dec. 24, after months of testing

Kayaking researcher Wave Vidmar checks his 22-foot boat at Seaward Kayaks in Chemainus last summer. His bid to kayak to Hawaii ended unsuccessfully Christmas Day. and preparation, Vidmar launched his 125-pound Kevlar/carbon ¿bre Passat G3 from Bodega Bay, California to begin his epic journey, explains Horscroft. But the weather quickly turned. After battling challenging conditions for 15 hours, with waves breaking over his head, the kayak began taking on water and was being pushed steadily northeast by the current, Horscroft says. “Wave made the dif¿cult, but ultimately correct decision, and decided to return
to shore to regroup. At 6:45 p.m. he summoned help by activating his rescue transponder.” By about 9 p.m. Christmas Day, Vidmar was met by the Bodega Bay Coast Guard. “They received Mr. Vidmar on board and towed the kayak behind their vessel,” says Horscroft, relieved the veteran paddler was saved. “As they neared shore, the kayak was submerged by a large wave and lost.” Likewise, Sims used Vidmar’s Facebook account
indicating “after much delay, he had discreetly started his voyage on Dec. 24, only to make an emergency call some 24 hours later for a rescue after storms began Àooding his kayak.” “U.S. Coast Guard spokesman, Lt. Mark Leahey, wouldn’t name names, but con¿rmed the Coast Guard had rescued a sleepdeprived, Hawaii-bound kayaker on Christmas evening some 15 nautical miles off Bodega Bay. “That’s the town north of San Francisco that ¿lm buffs will remember as the setting of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 ¿lm The Birds,” notes Sims. “Mr. Vidmar said the $10,000 kayak, along with all its supplies, sank as it was towed back to shore.” Still, Sims says Vidmar told him via phone he still planned to make the journey in the spring or summer — minus the help of sponsor, Seaward Kayaks. Horscroft declined to comment further. “We are obviously disappointed his voyage ended prematurely, but Seaward is relieved Wave was recovered safely.”

Cowichan foodies Matt Horn and Marisa Goodwin (inset) are making an impact in the industry. “It’s cool being included,’’ added Horn. “There’s a lot of big names that are in it. It’s nice to be recognized for Western Canada.’’ Horn purchases many ingredients from Cowichan Bay such as Hilary’s Cheese and seafood to make his products. He usually attends one farmer’s market a week while seven Country Grocer stores and 10 stores from Duncan south now sell Cowichan Pasta Company items. “I don’t have a storefront,’’ Horn said. “I just have a commercial kitchen I use. “I’ve been working in the industry for about 15 years, just working in the restaurant business. I ¿nally wanted to do something on my own.’’ Goodwin is originally from Van-
couver and has been in Cobble Hill since 2005. She’s been into a little bit of everything over the years from linguistics to clinical herbal medicines to business, but food has always been a common denominator. “It’s the classic situation of where you learned to cook in the kitchen and I’ve been in the kitchen since I was a little kid,’’ she said. Goodwin’s grandmother worked in the chocolate industry for Laura Secord during the Second World War, thus her obvious inherited connection to chocolate. “I knew I was going to go into business for myself and food would be part of what I did,’’ she said. “I have a desire to make things.’’

he Cowichan Valley consumes two spots in Western Living magazine’s ¿fth annual 40 Foodies under 40. Matt Horn, 31, and Marisa Goodwin, 35, are on the prestigious list for their impacts on the industry. “We’re half a decade into this exercise of scouring the west in search of the young turks who are shaping (and shaking up) the way we eat, shop and drink, and narrowing the list to just 40 has become progressively more dif¿cult each year,’’ reads the magazine’s prelude. Horn is the chef/owner of the Cowichan Pasta Company in Mill Bay that produces such intriguing products as stinging nettle rotini and wakame spaghetti while Goodwin is categorized as a producer with Organic Fair Inc. of Cobble Hill that ships chocolate, coffee, gourmet foods, spices and more across Canada. It’s not only gourmet chefs from traditional restaurant settings that are on the list, but distillers, brewers and mixologists, Goodwin pointed out. “It’s one of those lists, everyone in the food industry, we all look at it,’’ said Goodwin. “There’s so many people on the list that are doing interesting things. I do feel honoured.’’

Among the biggest success stories of the Cowichan Valley Division of Family Practice has been its ability to match new moms with doctors.
Open access meets last-minute needs from page 1
Also, multi-disciplinary teams including nurse practitioners and mental health workers were developed in the pilot communities, which also included Prince George and White Rock/South Surrey. Cowichan’s made its mark by honing in on of¿ce staff ef¿ciency at clinics, including new booking systems and going online with charting. Many clinics, including Rimmer’s Somenos Medical Clinic, have implemented an open access program where half a GP’s day is formally booked ahead and the other half is left open for folks to call in the morning for last-minute check-ups, typically shorter appointments. “It’s nice for patients, especially if they’ve got a sick kid or a prescription
to ¿ll,” said Rimmer. They’ve also put their heads down on the issue of recruiting doctors, and are currently focusing on high-need areas including Lake Cowichan. “We’re trying to emphasize the point you need not only to recruit a doctor, but their family as well,” Rimmer said. And their biggest success included matching more than 250 moms and
their babies with doctors from their care at CDH’s maternity clinic. GP For Me is supported by $132.4 million in funding. A signi¿cant portion of this is from the existing physician master agreement negotiated by government and the B.C. Medical Association in 2012. Among the features being implemented April 1 is funding to enable family
physicians to consult with patients by telephone, incentives for physicians to add patients with complex conditions, such as cancer, onto their caseloads, and support for local physician groups to work collaboratively with health authorities to support better local access to primary care. Studies performed two years ago revealed 4,000 Cowichanians were without a doctor.

Liberties group calls for quicker future investigations “Bill Gillespie waited 20 months for the investigation to complete, and now is seeing justice more than three years after he was shot. We hope that the Independent Investigation Of¿ce will signi¿cantly reduce this time frame for future cases because such delay is unfair not just to the complainant, but also to the of¿cer who is the subject of the complaint.’’ The BCCLA previously weighed in on the case when Pompeo gave a presentation to a Nanaimo community group on behalf of the RCMP in October 2011, ¿ve months after being charged in the incident.

Coaches given a sacred trust not to be abused Behind the bench: There is no place for coach rage
Y
ou may not recognize the name Martin Tremblay, but you probably remember his claim to fame. Tremblay is the Vancouver peewee hockey coach arrested last year for deliberately tripping a pre-teen opposing player in a handshake line-up, hurting the child’s wrist enough that he required a cast. Tremblay’s behaviour is hardly typical of the type of person coaching hockey and other sports in our community. But as the recent incident at Kerry Park demonstrated, coach rage is not something completely foreign to Cowichan’s rinks, courts and ¿elds. And it should be. It must be. Those who It starts with the people in charge: step over the the volunteers running the league, the paying the bills and the umbrella line should be parents associations overseeing sport at a provindismissed cial and national level. These are the people who must cultivate a culture of zero-tolerance for this kind of behaviour, a culture that insists coaches behave like role models or they have no place being on the sideline, or behind the bench. The price for stepping over that line should be dismissal. There are all kinds of reasons for being frustrated with missed calls. Few justify anger and certainly none justify verbal or physical abuse of players or of¿cials — men, women and children who, by and large, are doing the best they can to make the game fair and fun. Judge Patrick Chen gave Tremblay 15 days in a correctional facility as “a signal to other parents heavily involved in the sporting activities of their children that they must be seen as models of good and acceptable behaviour.” He’s got it right. Coaches are given a trust. Their job is not to win games. Their job is to instill values like teamwork, effort, sportsmanship and fair play. Their value is not measured on any scoreboard, but in the number of solid adult citizens they help produce for the community.
We say:
Seeing both sides of: cheering news from Catalyst The case against
The case for How long have the headlines been negative regarding Crofton’s pulp and paper operation? Has it not been at least a decade of cutbacks, shutdowns, layoffs, reductions, bad markets, pleas for tax cuts and out-and-out bankruptcy? The simple sounds of we’re here, we’re healthy and we’re hiring have to be music to the ears of an entire community.
Catalyst President and C.E.O. Kevin Clarke answers a question in Crofton Monday.
Before anyone gets too excited about this week’s Crofton cheerleading session, remember this is not your father’s mill. While Catalyst’s impact on the local economy remains significant, it is still contributing about half the tax base and half the jobs it used to. And most of the new hires it will be doing are replacement positions. Our economic basket still needs more eggs.
Confessions of a fallen smart phone Luddite Jay Siska
News Leader Pictorial
A
fter holding out for, like, forever, I got an iPhone. I’m old enough to say that when the ¿rst of my friends showed up with a cell for the ¿rst time, I asked, “What the hell do you need that for?” — like just showing up with it said “I’m big time.” I was the guy who (after adopting a phone, and for more than 10 years) would get this question when phone shopping: “What do you want to do with your phone?” My answer was always “I want a phone that makes calls and won’t drop them.” Just a phone that had buttons with numbers on them that I could press and call someone. I looked at the developing phone culture and took a no-thank-you attitude. Talk about what phone was better, then later people jogging while checking text messages,
and even later apps to use your phone as a bubble level, I used to think that was totally stupid. And I still do. But I ¿nally broke down and got a “smart phone.” And goddamn if it isn’t totally awesome. It dawned on me when I pulled into the lumber yard and realized I’d forgotten to make a materials list for trusses over a span. I was screwed because I didn’t have a calculator with me. Sitting in my truck considering my situation took longer than it did to download to my phone everything I needed to solve the problem, once I realized I could do that. Anyone who’s reading this, and has had a phone forever, is likely thinking right about now “this guy is a moron.” But I’m 43, a way-late-adopter, and it’s been a couple months of complete mental re-arranging of my learned process of how to work.
My dad is a retired civil engineer who — over the course of his career — built up an impressive library of reference materials on the shelves of his of¿ce. Now, I can get any piece of that accumulated knowledge with my phone, in seconds. It’s just taken me a while to ¿gure that out. The demographic the company I work for serves, means our facebook presence is indispensable. In the end, that is why I got the phone. I shoot a photo — again, with my phone — in the middle of the woods, post it, and our 13-year-old fans comment from their phones while at school. Broadcast radio? Gone. I get exactly the music and talk I want via the TuneIn app, virtually commercial-free. I can watch a sporting event via live stream while texting with friends who are in the grandstands right there thousands of miles away.
COWICHAN LEADERS
We’ve come a long way from the black, rotary-dial phone of my childhood that was plugged into the wall in the hall of my parents’ house. All that had to offer was a sticker in the centre of the dial that said, “BC TEL” with our number typewritten below. I haven’t had a land line since before I interned for the News Leader Pictorial well over a decade ago. But word on the street has members of the newsroom still running around sans cell to this day. C’mon, boys... it’s time to step it up. The dark side is calling.

e’re proud of our school sports teams, and so we should be. Year after year, our young athletes go head to head with the best in the province and come home con¿dent they’ve done their very best. For the ¿rst time ever, in March 1980, a Vancouver Island team north of Victoria won the senior girls’ provincial AA basketball title. In front of 1,500 fans in Vancouver, the Cowichan Thunderettes, backed by coach John Lockwood defeated Vancouver’s Killarney 61-55 to claim B.C.’s top spot. After leading 31-28 at the half, the T-ettes, sparked by captain Lori Glomlien and guard Lori Elliot, showed depth and balance giving them a 44-win, one-loss record for the year. Glomlien was spectacular in the ¿nal, scoring 25 points and hauling down 24 rebounds. Said coach Lockwood: “She seemed to be a human vacuum cleaner at both ends of the Àoor.” Elliot had 11 assists in the game, while Sandy Mercer scored 12 points and Twon Klawer added eight points and eight rebounds to the Cowichan win. Glomlien also won a spot on the tournament all-star team. In an earlier tournament game, Bev Chaster led the scoring with 16 points and nine rebounds.

STARTING A BUSINESS Starting a business can be very exciting as well as more than a little intimidating. There are many factors to consider. Here is some simple advice. 1. Prepare a Good Business Plan A business plan focuses you on important goals and helps you stay on track. You should carefully consider things like your product, customers and competition. What makes your product or services unique? Who are your primary customers? Are there any others out there doing the same thing and how will you distinguish yourself from them? Often an advisor like a business coach can be very helpful here. There are also some excellent books available such as “Great Performances: The Small Business Script for the 21st Century”, by Clemens Rettich. Most importantly, don’t just make a good business plan, use it! 2. Start Up Capital There are a number of excellent sources for start up capital out there. Commercial lenders such as banks, government grants and other sources may be available. Don’t forget resources like Community Futures Cowichan and the Business Development Bank. Do your research and remember to have a plan to pay these people or institutions back. Be careful and make sure that you consult a lawyer if you want to sell shares (equity) in your business to others. The selling of shares and other investments is heavily regulated in Canada and the USA. There are signi¿cant penalties for breaching such laws.
8. Buying a Business One way to start a new business is to buy an existing business. However, in such a case it is very important to Scott Ritter obtain the help of Scott Ritter Law Corporation professionals, including lawyers, to make sure the transaction runs smoothly and ensure you get what you pay for. A properly written business purchase agreement and due diligence are essential. Leases, important contracts and other matters may also need to be reviewed.
many businesses and can pass along some of this wisdom to you. 10. Above All, Have Fun Running your own business is not just about making money. It is about independence, ful¿lling your aspirations and helping others in your community. These are the things that ultimately make small business most worthwhile. If you want to know more, please contact me at the address below. Scott Ritter Scott Ritter Law Corp 921 – H Canada Avenue Duncan, BC V9L 1V2 Phone: 250-748-5857 Fax: 250-748-5869 scott.ritter@scottritterlaw.com The views in this article are personal and should not be relied upon as legal advice. Each person’s situation is unique and you should consult a lawyer for clari¿cation.
9. Work with Professionals Choose your lawyer, banker, accountant, bookkeeper, insurance broker and other professionals carefully. Often the advice you get from these people can make the difference between success and failure. In most cases, such professionals will have experience with
3. Obtain Licenses and Consents There may be numerous licenses and registrations you may need to arrange. For example, you may need a business license, to register with Revenue Canada (for taxes) and perhaps the Workers’ Compensation Board. These are just examples. Your business might have others. Your bookkeeper, lawyer and accountant can help out. 4. Finding a Business Premises You will likely need a place from which to do business. This may be your home, newly purchased building or rented space. All of these have different implications. For example, you may need to talk to your insurance agent if you are doing a home-based business. If you want to buy or lease commercial land, it is important for you to speak to a lawyer early in the process. Buying or leasing commercial land is often very different than buying or leasing residential land. Due diligence is very important on purchases. Commercial leases should be reviewed by a lawyer. 5. Consider Advertising and Promotion How will your customers know you are there? Word of mouth is powerful, but how will you get the ball rolling so the word gets out in the ¿rst place? 6. Proprietorship/Partnership or Limited Company There are many forms of organizations in which to do business. Proprietorships and partnerships have unlimited liability (meaning business owners are personally responsible for all the business debts and liabilities). Limited companies isolate the businessperson from many liabilities (subject to some exceptions). It is wise to discuss this with a business lawyer. 7. Doing Business with Another One way to share the work and ¿nancial load of a new business is to do business with someone else. I cannot stress enough the importance of putting into place a properly drafted partnership or shareholders agreement when you do business with someone else. These agreements should be done by a business lawyer and should set out numerous things like the admittance of new parties, retirement, death, management, ¿nancing and dispute resolution, just to name a few.

DOLLAR A
team of ‘veteran’ hockey players is already gearing up for a visit to Duncan in April by a Russian team as part of a four-game Goodwill Hockey
Tour. Cowichan Valley Capitals’ interim head coach Aaron Plumb and Caps’ director of sales and marketing David van Deventer have put together a team to play the Russians Sunday, April 7 at 7 p.m. at Cowichan Arena. “They’re taking it quite seriously,’’ chuckled van Deventer. “They’re training.’’ Plumb, Kerry Park Islanders’ coach Dale Purinton and former National Hockey League player Mat Ellison are the notables on the local team. Others on the roster will be announced at a later date. The tour starts in Parksville April 5 and includes games in Port Alberni April 6 and

Campbell River April 9. Local teams will be formed in each community to take on the Russians. A relationship with the Russian Hockey Federation was maintained by Port Alberni hockey enthusiast Jim Lawson after Alberni and other island communities hosted games in the World Under-17 hockey championships in 2009, van Deventer said. “As a group, Port Alberni extended this invitation to the Russian Hockey Federation, never expecting they’d say, ‘yeah, we’ll come,’’’ said van Deventer. The Tropic ice hockey team from Tula, Russia — about 200 kilometres south of Moscow — includes players up to 51. “They’ve thrown a couple of 20-somethings in there because they wanted to be competitive, to be honest,’’ said van Deventer. Details on advance tickets and prices for the game in Duncan will be announced soon. Proceeds from the game will go to KidSport Cowichan.

T
he field of synthetic biology combines science and engineering. It relies on the great advances in genetics and nanotechnology (dealing with the manipulation of atoms and molecules). The farranging goal of synthetic biology is to be able to use a patient’s cells to grow a new kidney or other organs that are not functioning well.
March is National Kidney Month in Canada. We are a decade or more away from growing new kidneys for people. An alternative for now is to sign up for organ donation. There are many more people waiting for a new kidney than there are donors. Why not sign up to be an organ donor today? The life expectancy of a Canadian is now so great, many of us are living to be 100 and older. People get to be this old through the healthy eating and regular exercise. Other conditions can also contribute to longevity: being married, living in the same geographical area most of your life; getting a good night’s sleep (at least 8 hours) and not smoking. In 1862, Louis Pasteur first used heat to prevent beer and wine from going sour. This process, called pasteurization, is used today to keep bacterial levels low. In Canada, all milk intended for consumption must be pasteurized. The milk is exposed to heat of at least 72° for at least 16 seconds. It is then cooled to 4° to ensure most harmful bacteria are destroyed.

Injured Duncan duck covered
E
ven ducks have friends in Cowichan. Recently a Scaup duck ran into trouble locally when he was attacked by a hawk, and ended up with several puncture wounds to his neck. The duck was transferred to Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre in Metchosin, where rehabilitators noticed the Scaup had feet sores in addition to his neck wounds, and were worried the sores were too severe to heal completely. Once the Scaup was stabilized, he required surgery to repair the neck wounds. The surgery was successful, but the Scaup’s feet sores were still a concern – when seabirds develop such sores, it is often a death sentence. Fortunately, the rehabilitators at Wild ARC were able to perform an additional surgery on the bird’s feet to treat the affected areas and allow them to heal.
submitted
A Lesser Scaup rescued by a Duncan SPCA staff member on Jan. 4 gets a scrub at the BC SPCA Wild ARC for rehabilitation. The Scaup also needed assisted feedings to sustain his good body condition, as often seabirds and diving ducks are reluctant to eat when in captivity. Following two weeks of intensive care consisting of antibiotics, antifungal medication, probiotics, pain control, homeopathic
remedies and wound care, the Lesser Scaup duck, now fully recovered, was released at the Duncan Fish Hatchery on Monday, Feb. 18, where he paddled down the waterway to join dozens of other local birds. For more on Wild ARC visit wildarc.com. —Goldstream Gazette

Brentwood reaches high for The Heights In the Heights: those in the know saying this one might be biggest of the big Ashley Degraaf
News Leader Pictorial
J
ust when you thought it had raised the bar high enough, Brentwood College’s theatre crew is reaching for new heights. Brentwood’s staff and students are readying to premiere the Tonyaward-winning In The Heights, which joins the growing list of the school’s other big-time productions including Phantom of the Opera in 2011 and more recently Les Miserables. And the sky’s the limit for a cast that has taken great leaps and stepped outside its boundaries to perfect parts for this production. Musical director Phil Newns said this year’s musical is “by far, one of the best ever, (and) I have been a musical director for many a show over the years.” “We saw (In The Heights) in New York on one of the theatre tours a couple years ago,” explained director and producer Edna Widenmaier. “We knew we had the talent here to do the show.” The script plays off life in Washington Heights, a tight-knit community where the coffee corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. In The Heights carries a message of a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you and
which ones you leave behind. “I feel with this production, it will relate to everyone in the audience,” said Brentwood student Andrew Lai, who plays Heights lead, bodega owner Usnavi De La Vega. “Usnavi really goes through a struggle, choosing the opportunity to get out of his neighbourhood, or staying there and sticking along with his neighbours and friends. “Sometimes I too really reÀect on this play,” the Grade 12 student, who moved from Hong Kong to attend school in Brentwood in Grade 9, said. “To suddenly be half across the world, that was a big change for me,” said Lai, whose character’s parents emigrated from the Dominican Republic. Lai, like De La Vega, his fellow students and really folks of all ages, faces dif¿cult decisions. For Lai that includes what to study come his post-secondary education next fall. “I’m looking at studying architecture after this, but I’d also like to get into dramatic arts programs,” he said on being torn between his passion for acting and an education in architecture. Lai’s had some dance experience in the past, but rapping which is very much a part of De La Vega’s culture — was entirely foreign to him. “One of my biggest challenges I would say has de¿nitely been the rapping,” Lai said, noting night-time listening to the show’s tunes helped him sync with the rhythms. “I took it on. I listened to it every night and then the rhyming kind of just stayed in my head.” Lai’s also stoked about the relationship he’s formed with fellow Grade 12 student Davin Killy.
The Largest Selection of Petites North of the Malahat!
Sade Kammen plays Nina Rosario in the Brentwood College School production of In the Heights, opening Tuesday in Mill Bay. Killy played the Phantom in Brentwood’s 2011 production and is digging the transition from classical to street he’s taken on through his character. “It’s been a learning curve that’s for sure,” said Killy, who plays 24-yearold converted hoodlum and street punk Benny. “He’s a very fun-loving individual and he has a good time.” Killy’s not having a bad time either, learning the show’s hip-hop moves. “The dancing really has just been about loosening up,” he said. Both Lai and Killy have scored big with tips from fellow student and Heights choreographer Michelle Mazzarella. Mazzarella’s been working with Brentwood’s head choreographer Lorraine Blake to ¿ne-tune the musical
dance scenes, which include a lot of Latin steps and salsa skits as well as modern hip-hop and street dance. “There are a lot of dance numbers, between 22 and 24, in this production,” Mazzarella said, noting this is the ¿rst musical theatre production she’s assisted with choreography. She’s also in the production’s dance chorus, and even spouts off the line, “No speak English,” in her favourite dance number, The Club. “That is most de¿nitely my favourite part and it is coming together really well,” she said. “The stage just lights up in every number,” boasted Widenmaier. “There’s really an intense fusion of different traditions.
“And we’ve had such a wonderful team working together,” she said of choreographers Blake and Mazzarella, musical director Newns, set creator James O’Leary, and technical director Don Armitage. With universal themes of family, community, and self-discovery, In The Heights is a show which can be enjoyed by just about anyone.

Chemainus Theatre’s Buddy offers zest and a rocking good time Review: just don’t arrive expecting anything more Nick Bekolay
News Leader Pictorial
I
attended opening night of Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story at the Chemainus Theatre Festival expecting big things from a musical based on the man whose death inspired American Pie, Don McLean’s classic 1971 anthem. I left with mixed feelings, but for reasons not every theatregoer might identify with.
I’m a fan of narrative and my level of engagement directly correlates with how detailed and nuanced a storyline happens to be. Buddy was bipolar in that regard. I was disappointed with how writer Alan Janes let the story fall by the wayside halfway through each half. Holly rose to fame during one of the most fascinating eras in American history. Brief references to rock ‘n’ roll being considered taboo because it was considered “black musicâ€? or a “contagious form of mental illnessâ€? hint at American racial and political divisions, as does the portrayal of the Crickets’ comically awkward Âżrst encounter with the coloured performer — played to perfection by Jenni Burke — who opens for
them at the Apollo Theatre. But Janes stops there, failing to layer his story to a level of detail that I had come into the theatre expecting. Nevertheless, Janes delivers successfully in his portrayal of how a star’s unbounded energy and enthusiasm led to short-lived fame and fortune. While the story does seem to trail off, the music more than compensates. Stevenson brings to the stage both a convincing likeness to Holly and a depth of musical talent surpassing anything I’ve encountered in my limited exposure to musical theatre. The same holds true for his fellow cast members, most notably Burke’s enormous, soul-stirring voice
bclocalnews.com
Zachary Stevenson previously played Buddy Holly in the Arts Club Theatre’s touring production. and the vocal talents of Big Bopper Greg Barry. Ultimately, Buddy is the story of a man and his tragically short-lived musical ambitions that delivers two hours of foot-tapping, hand-clapping, crowd-pleasing performance of the very songs that marked the birth of rock ‘n’ roll.

BOOTH, William (Bill) March 8, 1925 – Feb 21, 2013 Bill went home to be with his Lord and Saviour on Thursday, Feb 21st at the age of 87. Surviving him with love are his wife of 64 years Myra (nee Neil), four children, John, Robert, Melanie Lutz (Rick) and David (Arlene), six grandchildren, Sarah Flood (Michael), Shayna Lutz, Kelsey Lutz, Brandon Booth, Justin Booth and Andrea Booth, two great grandchildren, Ezra Lutz and Emily Flood.

Closest to his heart was his home church, Blue Mountain Baptist Church, Children’s Evangelistic Association which he helped found in 1960, the Fellowship of Evangelical Children’s Workers (former Chairman) and Camp Tulahead (former Chairman) and the Blue Mountain Senior Housing Society.

He was a dedicated husband and cared for his wife for as long as he possibly could. He fought a good ďŹ ght with cancer over the last year in a way that demonstrated his calm resolve and amazing endurance. He never once complained during his battle. He was comforted through his prayer and bible reading and time with friends and family. The family would like to thank all those that provided care for Bill over the last year and especially over the last two week period at the Nanaimo Hospital and Palliative Care Unit.

United urges fan support for its Jackson Cup game in Nanaimo Saturday
SPORTS WATCH
Cowichan United has officially won Div. 2 of the Island Soccer League. The waiting game finally ended on the weekend when Nanaimo and Gorge went scoreless. Nanaimo was the last team with a chance to catch Cowichan, but needed to win both its remaining games and that obviously
didn’t happen. With that out of the way, Jason Ovans, pictured with George Thomas and their United teammates can now concentrate on the Jackson Cup. United qualified for the quarterfinal round of the Cup by beating Div. 2 rival Nanaimo United.

rentwood College coach Blake Gage conceded getting off the island in AA senior boys’ basketball has been no picnic this season. That’s why he’s obviously elated his team emerged on top of the pack during the Island tournament at Wellington and is heading back to provincials next week at Kamloops. Brentwood defeated Wellington 66-56 Saturday to win a very competitive Island tournament. Jordan Charles led the scoring with 27 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter when it mattered most, and was chosen the tournament MVP. Jason Tran had 11 and Shalev Sharabi 10. The pre-tournament standings were literally turned upside down. Brentwood went in as South 3, North 1 Wellington quali¿ed for the provincials in the No. 2 spot and South 2 Lambrick Park also advanced in the Island’s third position. South Island No. 1 St. Michael’s had to scramble for the ¿nal Island qualifying spot for the provincials by winning a challenge game over Elphinstone Monday. “We could probably play that tournament three different weekends and have teams come out in three different orders,’’ said Gage. Brentwood did what it needed to, playing clutch basketball at the right times in all three of its wins. “We played pretty well,’’ said Gage. “I
don’t think we were incredible. We were pretty solid.’’ “Blake’s leadership with Shalev and Jordan was really good,’’ praised Shawnigan Lake coach Vito Pasquale, whose own team battled hard in the tournament and managed one victory in three games. “They took care of the tempo.’’ The road to the title began for Brentwood with a tough 55-47 win over Mark Isfeld. “It was close most of the way, a six- to eight-point lead,’’ said Gage. “We couldn’t ever really put them away.’’ Austin Giles started in place of Ulas Zeyrek and did a great job while Hayden Frisch came off the bench in the second half and scored some tough hoops. Shawnigan lost its opener to host Wellington 53-34 after coming off a tough 59-54 win over Ballenas in a challenge game three days earlier to get into the tournament. Brentwood then subdued the three-point happy shooting of the St. Michael’s squad 65-53 Friday while Shawnigan took care of Woodlands 82-72. “They just launched them,’’ Pasquale said of the St. Michael’s regular long-range arsenal. “Blake did the right thing. He just played zone.’’ St. Michael’s wound up missing far more threes than it made. After being tied at halftime, “we got a little bit ahead in the third, but it was very much a back-and-forth affair,’’ said Gage. Sharabi had 15 second-half points. Zeyrek returned in that game to score 15 points while collecting seven rebounds. Pasquale knew exactly what to expect when his team played St. Michael’s next.

Outstretched arms of Brentwood’s Jason Tran, left, and Wellington Wildcats’ opponent Ethan Schulz collide during Saturday’s senior AA boys’ Island Änal at the Wellington Secondary School gym. Brentwood won 66-56. Shawnigan lost 60-33 but it could have been a lot closer. “We played them tough the ¿rst half,’’ said Pasquale. “We should have been winning. We missed six layups in the ¿rst half.’’ Shawnigan only scored three points in the third quarter and never recovered. Nathan Fish, Henry Williams and Mitch McMaster — the big three — were all standouts for Shawnigan. Brentwood opens at the provincials against Sa-Hali of Kamloops.
owichan Junior Thunderbirds lost just their third game of the season and ¿nished third in the Island junior boys’ basketball championships at Vanier. Cowichan and St. Michael’s, easily the best two teams in the tournament, wound up facing each other in a semi¿nal game. St. Michael’s won the game 53-42 and went on to take the Island championship by thrashing Oak Bay 76-38 in the ¿nal. Cowichan secured third and the ¿nal berth into the provincial tournament at Vancouver College next week by beating John Barsby 62-46. The T-Birds opened the tournament last Thursday with a 55-31 victory over host Vanier. Josh Charles scored 19 points in the win while Travis McDonald and Jordy Frost added 10 apiece. Charles (15), Frost (11) and McDonald (10) accounted for all but six of Cowichan’s points among them in the tough loss to St. Michael’s Friday.

he Queen of Angels Grade 9 girls’ basketball team is back at the provincial championships. The tournament is being hosted by Britannia School at the Richmond Olympic Oval. “This will be our ¿fth time going in eight years so it’s pretty exciting,’’ said coach Ciaran McLaverty. The school’s best-ever ¿nish in the provincials was sixth place in 2008. This year’s team is eager to make its mark and recently played three games in the Island championships at Kwalikum Secondary. Queen of Angels lost a tight opening match 22-17 against Cumberland but then turned it around to beat Campbell River Christian 36-18 and Dover Bay 37-20. There’s a good balance between the forwards and the guards on this year’s Queen of Angels team, led by speedy point guard Crystal Brandt and gritty small forward Molly O’Donnell. They’re supported by assistant captain Merryam Rizk, fast-developing Grade 8 post Madison Mahon and sharpshooting Ashleigh Butcher on the starting ¿ve. The other girls bring their own unique strengths to the team.

he kids are all right. Boys playing against men may seem like a guaranteed mismatch, but not where the Kerry Park men’s open bonspiel is concerned. The youngsters held up just ¿ne going against the big guys. The B event winner was a juvenile team from Juan de Fuca that only lost one game in the ¿ve-day event. The team consisted of Duncan Silversides, Benton Boychuk-Chorney, Jacob Zorn,
Timothy Henderson and Evan Scott-Moncrieff. There was also youth on the C event championship side with Paul Henderson, who learned to curl at Kerry Park and now lives in Victoria. His teammates were: Calvin Heels, Eric Lesinger and Byron Heels. Paul Henderson is skipping the Frances Kelsey team in the B.C. high school championships. The A event title was still reserved for the men, with Scott Macdonald, Steve McKague, Jim Cross and Dave Roth leading the way.
Some ladies even took part in the event. Lynn Noble and Lorraine Gagnon were members of the ¿rst-place team in the D event along with Brent Anderson and Brent Winnitoy. The bonspiel has been run with a maximum of 16 teams the last couple of years. “All of the teams were fairly evenly-matched with a wide variety of ages,’’ noted spokesman Joe Goubault. Most of the young men on the one junior team and two juvenile teams were in the bonspiel last year and have improved considerably in a short period of time.

Outlet pass is sought by Cowichan’s Mike Ridgeway, as he’s stopped in his tracks by the Velox defence.
Cowichan Rugby Club’s First Division Piggies are on a two-game winning streak after starting the spring season 0-2. After beating the Port Alberni Black Sheep 21-12 the previous week, the Piggies dug in for a 15-5 win over Velox in Victoria. The game was played on horrendous ¿eld con-
ditions, with nearly two-thirds of the game bogged down in the deep mud. Cowichan jumped into a 7-0 lead when Dan Briggs caught the defence overcommiting to the outside and squeezed through a gap for a try, converted by Carlin Hamstra. “Cowichan continued to stay committed to their game plan of kicking the ball in behind the Velox defence while Velox continued to stay committed to their plan of run-
ning the ball back which inevitably led to ball-handling errors and many turnovers,’’ noted Cowichan coach Gord McGeachy. A poor kicking decision put Cowichan under pressure and led to a Velox try that closed the gap to 7-5. But Cowichan regained composure. Robin MacDowell put away David Cowie for a try in the corner and MacDowell added a drop goal in the late stages.

owichan Valley Bantam Tier 1 Capitals are Island champions after sweeping Victoria Racquet Club in a best-of-three ¿nal hockey series. The Caps won 6-3 at Fuller Lake Arena Saturday and 5-0 at the Racquet Club Sunday. “It was convincing by the scores,’’ said Cowichan coach Derek Topping. “Early on, both games were close. “They certainly seem to be playing the best hockey they’ve played all year, I think.’’ The Caps were automatic entries into the provincial tournament as the hosts but “they wanted to make sure they also went in as winning their division,’’ said Topping. The score was tied 1-1 after the ¿rst period of the opening game. Tanner Tiel scored for the Caps while the team did an excellent job to kill off four penalties. Ryan Hogg and Darrian Harris scored during a fairly even second period, as the
Caps went up 3-2. Dawson Haines scored just 20 seconds into the third period and followed with a shorthanded marker. Tiel wrapped up the scoring with his second of the game. John Hawthorne played an excellent game in goal. It was a great team effort by the Caps in the second game, with all three lines playing well while the defence excelled and goalie Ty Rennie recorded the shutout. Hogg scored six minutes into the game and Kyle Topping notched the second goal after plenty of chances by the team. Hogg added a penalty shot marker and then a lucky bounce on a Keenan Eddy shot made it 4-0. Josh Anderson completed the scoring from a scramble. The provincial championships begin March 17 at Cowichan Arena. Racquet Club gets in as a second Island team with the Caps hosting the tournament. Kamloops and Prince George also secured berths. The Vancouver region is down to the ¿nal four teams this weekend and two teams will eventually qualify for the provincials.

Navy played a second game immediately afterwards and bounced back to defeat Red 4-1 on four goals by Buddy Monks. Hayley Picard had the lone marker for Red. Green and Yellow closed out the day by playing to a 3-3 tie. Markers for the Green team came from Mariah Ketch, Claire Seeliger and Shylayne Davidson. Madelyn Smith (2) and Beth Corish scored for Yellow.

Scoring machine Garrett Dunlop beats Kerry Park goalie Jackson Jane for one of his four goals Tuesday night at Kerry Park Arena. The Islanders had hoped to make it a closer series than the minimum four games, but the Nanaimo Buccaneers had other ideas.

T
he Kerry Park Islanders’ season is done. The Nanaimo Buccaneers completed the sweep over the Islanders in their Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League quarter¿nal playoff series with a 5-2 win at Kerry Park Arena Tuesday. The Islanders were hard-pressed to score goals in the series. Their offense was limited to ¿ve in the four games. Garrett Dunlop was virtually a one-man wrecking crew for Nanaimo Tuesday with four goals. Islanders’ goalie Jackson Jane still had a solid game, stopping everyone else but Lee Orpen once, and ¿nishing with 33 saves. Trevor Parkhouse and Anthony Gilbert scored for the Islanders.

Swept away: Playoff series with Nanaimo over in four straight
“We actually had a good game, we just didn’t score,’’ said veteran Islanders’ forward Kyle Peterson. “We just couldn’t get anything going.’’ When they did, Nanaimo goalie Cameron Large was there to shut the door with 24 saves. “The ¿rst three games, they were working harder than us, worked as a team,’’ said Peterson of the big hole the Islanders dug for themselves. The team still played a much more competitive brand of hockey after Dale Purinton took over as coach. “He told us work hard every shift, not give up — work hard in the corners,’’ said Peterson. The Islanders expect to have a much better season next year and Peterson plans to complete his ¿nal year of junior eligibility with the team. For now, the plan is to “hopefully ¿nd a job somewhere,’’ he said.
