Man barred from Duncan

Micah McClure: declared a proliﬁc offender after multiple offences in a short time Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

THAT’S A WRAP!

Spooksville: TV crews end Cowichan’s longest ﬁlm project ever full of warm feelings and hopes crews will be back Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

“I

think you’ve been discovered.” These words straight from the lips of former Fox Kids Network CEO, Hallmark Channel creator, and current head of United States-based Hub Network’s Margaret Loesch. She’s referring to Cowichan as a prime location for television series producers who work for networks like hers, which is set to air the TV action-adventure series Spooksville come fall. While many crews have shot films in the Warm Land, Spooksville boasts the longest run, spanning four months. It wraps up filming today. If ratings go well once the show hits the small screen, there’s a good chance more episodes will be filmed in Cowichan, hinted Loesch. “(Producer Harvey Kahn) first suggested Vancouver Island to us and at first I was skeptical,” the Los Angeles-based long-time television producer said in an interview Wednesday

Andrew Leong

James Head directs one of the final scenes of Spooksville’s first season of filing. at Duncan’s curling club, an important location holding three of the show’s main standing sets for the past four months. “This was a complete mystery to me. (Producer Jane Startz) and the location crew took photos here last winter and not only did the photos take our breath away with the beauty here, but the diversity was amazing. I was

instantly smitten,” she said. But Cowichan folks — and Cowichan bank accounts — also have Spooksville’s production designer — a man known simply as Tink — to thank. “I was interviewed for the position about a year ago and started scouting on Vancouver Island,” he explained. After a scouting trip to Duncan, he was also a tad skeptical there wasn’t enough of the pieces to put together the Spooksville town puzzle. But on a second trip to the valley he came across Chemainus. “The second time back I saw Chemainus and it was just this quaint, very cool seaside community and I knew it could work here.” He, like many of the folks on the 100-strong Spooksville crew, fell in love with the Warm Land. In fact, Tink fell head over heals so much he now has a Canadian residence at Cherry Point. Production manager Michelle Samuels shared the same love. more on page 3

t’s not very often folks are ordered to stay at least 40 kilometres away from their hometown. But it happened to Duncan’s Micah Jair McClure. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP announced yesterday that a three-month investigation resulted in McClure’s Aug. 6 guilty plea for four of the 13 breaking-and-entering related charges he was facing. He was sentenced to two years less a day followed by two years of probation, including the 40-kilometre order. In addition, McClure has also been officially identified by cops and community partners as a prolific offender. According to Cpl. Jon Stuart, the designation is made in collaboration between the police and a variety of other public officials. An officially designated prolific offender is immediately offered assistance in helping them stop their life of crime. “These persons are identified when they have come to the attention of the police, usually once they have been the subject of numerous files in a short period of time,” he said. “Those who take advantage of this have been very successful in ceasing criminal behaviour. Those who choose not to seek change are faced with enhanced police attention, which always results in criminal charges and incarceration.” McClure’s charges were in relation to a series of crimes that took place during a span of three weeks late this winter: a Feb. 18 break-in at the Chuck Wagon general store in North Oyster, and a Feb. 27 incident at the Save On gas at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Bench Road, said Stuart. Related to McClure’s charges, Duncan’s Margaret Conrad has been convicted of assault (involving one of the witnesses) and obstruction of justice. And Duncan’s Laurie Marshall is charged with two counts of unlawfully and with intent to provoke a state of fear, obstructing a court participant by threats and obstructing justice.

ur feet are amazing. They are relatively small for the weight they have to carry but contain an intricate network of bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles to support that weight. Problems can occur with our feet and it’s important not to ignore them. Pain, numbness, swelling and other symptoms should be checked to rule out major problems. Pepto-Bismol can be taken as a preventative for traveler’s diarrhea at a dose of (2 tablets 4 x daily for up to 3 weeks). For treatment, the usual dose is 2 tablets every 30 minutes up to 8 doses. It does contain a salicylate and shouldn’t be used in children under 12 and with caution in those taking anticoagulant drugs or who have gastric ulcers. Epilepsy affects 60 million people worldwide and about one-third of those are not able to control their seizures. Research is being done on a new device where an electrode is inserted between the skull and the brain and it records continuous brain activity. The signals are analyzed and a readout on a hand-held device can predict when a seizure will occur. It will be a definite plus to some epileptics. Many admissions to hospital are due to problems with medications. Many of these are preventable by simply understanding the medications you are taking and taking them according to your doctor’s/ pharmacists instructions.

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 3

Suspect sought in Country Grocer break-in

A sketch has been composed of a suspect being sought by Shawnigan Lake RCMP in connection with a break-and-enter and theft at the Country Grocer Store in Cobble Hill early Wednesday morning. The man was wearing a toque and has a pencil-thin mustache as well as a trace amount of hair on his chin. Video footage shows an older model pick-up truck driving by the storefront twice around 3 a.m. Wednes-

day. A short time later, the male suspect smashed a glass door to gain entry. Shawnigan RCMP report the man can be seen on the video trying unsuccessfully to remove an ATM machine. The suspect then walked to the customer service area, grabbed a small garbage bin and ﬁlled it with cigarettes. The suspect was seen wearing white gloves on the video footage.

Damage from the break-and-enter was discovered by Country Grocer employees arriving for work around 7 a.m. RCMP believe the suspect may be the same man responsible for a theft of the Cobble Hill Market ATM last week. Police are continuing to investigate and welcome any assistance from the public in identifying the suspect.

“I considered this a working vacation,” she said Wednesday. In some ways, so did the three main cast members. “As soon as I got off the plane, I was like, ‘Wow, there’s mountains,’” Spooksville’s leading lady, Ontario’s 14-year-old Katie Douglas (Spooksville’s Sally Wilcox) said. In between filming, she and cast members Keean Johnson (Adam Freeman) and Nick Purcha (Watch Waverly) — among other activities — got a chance to catch the Great Gatsby at Duncan’s Caprice Theatre as well as a have bite at Cow Bay’s Cow Cafe. They agreed dips at the Cobble Hill Quarry after shooting were among their favourite experiences. “They pretty much nailed it on the nose,” 16-year-old Port Coquitlam native Purcha said of producers picking Cowichan. Even their moms were soaking in valley amenities. “If my mom’s not hiking, she’s obsessed with this cross-fit class in Duncan she’s been doing,” said Johnson, also 16, who hails from Los Angeles. “I love the island. It’s definitely going to be a culture shock when I get home.” Spooksville’s staff is made up of about 50% of folks currently calling Vancouver Island Home. About 70% have lived on Vancouver Island at some point in their lives. Those percentages include first assistant director Shamess Shute, who calls the capital city home. Closer yet is assistant location manager Paul Russell, who grew up a Cowichanian. Russell lived in Cowichan Bay

before moving to Vancouver. He’s now living back in Duncan. “This is the best production I’ve worked on,” he said, counting 13 years experience under his belt.

“We’re so fortunate to work with such unique locations. No one has ever shot at the quarry before.” Filming was also done on Mt. Tzouhalem, at the Cowichan Bay

Peeking onto the set Someone belts out “Rolling!” before a loud bell rings through the building. All the clunks and clatter, and sounds of folks talking fade away for a few short minutes before the chaos commences again. The News Leader Pictorial’s tour of the Sherman Road Curling Club ﬁlming site may have been a small smattering of what’s gone on in the last four months during Spooksville’s stay here, but it gave reporter Ashley Degraaf and photographer Andrew Leong an interactive, ﬁrst-hand taste, nonetheless. “The coolest part has been seeing the world come to life,” Spooksville’s production designer Tink said Wednesday from the club. The club held three of the show’s standing sets, the interior of Adam’s room, interior of Watch’s lab, and interior of the castle’s

Curiosities Room. Those and a few less permanent structures, including the mayor’s cardboard box home and cardboard “hallway of his mind.” The dark and dingy Curiosities Room (left) is by far the coolest structure. “I haven’t seen a set like this since Dark Angel,” assistant location manager Paul Russell said, comparing Curiosities to sets in the American biopunk/cyberpunk science fiction series created by James Cameron and Charles H. Eglee. A dominating black fireplace is played as the centrepiece, with black accents, candlesticks, lamp posts, large chandeliers, in every corner. It was inspired by Victorian-era Scottish Baronial mansion Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria.This set was one of Tink’s favourites. “This set probably took me about a month and a half to finish,” he said.

hall, Bucky’s Sport Shop and the Green Door. But while shootage was shot in Cowichan Bay, Saltair and Ladysmith, the epicentre of Spooksville filming was in Chemainus. Willow Street was transformed into a zombie apocalypse, several local homes were swapped for the character residences, Kudos Japanese restaurant became the Holy Mackerel diner and the Hermit’s Trail worked perfectly as a spooky over-grown garden exterior. “I’ve actually been living in (the home that serves as) Sally’s set in Chemainus,” said producer Startz, who’s worked on many children’s shows including Magic School Bus, Baby Sitters Club, and several other Scholastic projects. “This has been the best experience of my entire career.” Loesch commended cast, crew and her producer. “Everyone has given 100% and the cast, I’ve seen how these kids have grown through this experience,” the studio head said, adding of Startz: “she has this very strong tenacity, and it’s a tenacity that we share.” And she had only nice things to say about Cowichan’s hospitality. “I’ve been so impressed with the folks here. A lot of times, we can be seen as intrusive and some people are skeptical of us, but that hasn’t been the case here.” The crew’s last day of series shooting took place today at the curling rink, but Monday and Tuesday they still had to shoot five in-between episode commentary clips they’re calling webisodes. Staff expect the 22-episode Spooksville to be aired in the states on Discovery’s Hub in the fall as well as on a pending Canadian network.

Hospital gets huge legacy donation

Friday, August 16, 2013

generous donation from Art Renshaw’s estate will allow the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation to direct considerable funds toward necessary medical equipment. Five of Renshaw’s family members attended the hospital foundation’s monthly meeting Thursday afternoon to present chair Brian Payne with a cheque for $234,000. The family wanted the donation to go toward hospital equipment at CDH. Nothing specific has been earmarked for it as yet. “The board will decide how we spend the money,’’ said Payne. Renshaw was 79 when he died on Nov. 29, 2010. He was born in Athabasca, Alberta, spent some of his younger years in Ladysmith and then lived in Burnaby for many years before coming to Maple Bay to retire. He lived at a residence on Arbutus Avenue for about 20 years. Sister Vera Colliar joked Burnaby’s loss was Cowichan’s gain. She said Renshaw told her about 40 years ago that if something happened to him money should be donated to the Burnaby hospital. “You should be grateful he moved to Duncan,’’ said Colliar to the

CDH foundation board members. “Most of it is from his house and he had a bit put away,’’ said niece Leah LaRiviere. “The hospital got the most money.’’ Renshaw died at CDH, LaRiviere said of her uncle. “He was not always well. He had his medical issues over the years. He never had children. For him to give that sizable donation to a foundation was really special.’’ LaRiviere’s husband Gord, cousin Ed Rasmussen and Renshaw’s sister Mary Rasmussen also represented the family at the meeting. Colliar had the honour of turning over the money to the foundation. “It’s not every day I write a

cheque this big,’’ she understated. “We’re pleased and honoured to have you join us for your donation,’’ said Payne. Leah LaRiviere, who’s the executive director of Prostate Cancer Foundation B.C., knows all about the significance of such donations from personal experience in her position. “Our foundation mimics yours so that the money goes to the cause,’’ she told Payne and the board. “That’s really important for me. We know his donation to the foundation will go to services needed and equipment needed.’’ A fountain, part of a grounds rejuvenation project, will also bear Renshaw’s name.

t’s always a good start to the work day when your office space hasn’t been broken into. That’s the recent thinking of Cowichan Energy Alternatives’ Brian Roberts, anyway. The non-profit society’s executive director said their workspace located on Station Street has been broken into four times between Aug. 6 and 12. “It’s completely messed me,” said Roberts Thursday, happy the building, which also holds space for the Cowichan Land Trust as well as other services and businesses, hasn’t shown any sign of entry since the last incident Monday. Roberts guessed the value of what was taken from the numerous robberies was between $8,000 to $10,000. The unusual piece to the puzzle is how the culprit(s) gained access. “We’re not really too sure,” said Roberts. “We’ve been locking up the building as we always do. There’s never been signs of forced entry.” Although Roberts didn’t want to get into specifics or conspiracy theories, he noted the office space’s security is due for an upgrade. He’s miffed about items thieves took, which likely don’t mean anything to them, but lots to his non-profit. “It’s kind of in your face,” he said, noting equipment like computers, cameras and monitors on the list, but worse, personal items like day-timers, project files, and receipts. He’s assured members of the society none of their personal information has been compromised.

Cowichan Energy Alternative’s Brian Roberts stands on the roof of the Hudson Building where his non-profit society’s office space has been broken into four times. In the meantime, he’s asking anyone with information about the robberies to contact police. Any donations to the society would also be much appreciated. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP have been notified of the break ins and are currently investigating. Thieves work for four hours Meanwhile, the same detachment’s requesting the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect responsible for a B&E at the Barton Insurance Office at 102-109 Trans Canada Hwy on July 12. “The suspect gained entry to the building by breaking into a vacant neighbouring unit at 3:04 a.m. and

then using tools to break through an interior wall into the business,” states a press release. The suspect was in the unit for four hours. “Some cash was stolen from the business and building repairs are estimated to exceed $4,000. The suspect’s image was captured by surveillance camera’s in the area.” The suspect is described as a white male, slim build, brown medium length hair, wearing a black leather jacket, black hoody, black hat, and white shoes. Tips can be called into the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP detachment at 250-748-5522 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Fear of property loss and mistrust of authorities feeds water storage appeal

Water Act appeals: Six Cowichan-Lake area landowners have filed Water Act appeals with B.C.’s Environmental Appeal Board Lindsay Chung

News Leader Pictorial

hy is it necessary to store more water in Lake Cowichan? This is one of the questions six Cowichan Lake-area landowners are asking after filing Water Act appeals with B.C.’s Environmental Appeal Board (EAB) objecting to processes allowing new storage and release of Cowichan River water in the lake. Michael Dix, E. Weir, Darcy Lubin, Catherine Willows Woodrow, Greg Whynacht, and Ian Poyntz have filed appeals so far. Their concerns include: water storage is encroachment on their property rights; storage causes nuisance factors preventing property enjoyment; water storage constitutes trespassing on their private property; and storage could cause more erosion of their property, affect septic systems, and lakeshore ecosystems.

Other issues: it denies them of full use of their property; a lack of historical storage-volume data used in allowing boosted storage; a lack of respect for lakeside property owners’ rights; and ignoring of a Dec. 6, 1955 letter from (former) B.C. Forest Products guaranteeing consultation, remedying and compensation for any negative impacts storing water has on the lake’s waterfront lands. Whynacht, who lives in Youbou, says they feel like their property rights are being encroached. “We’re losing our private property to water,” he said. “It’s not necessary if other things were done to mitigate the water issue. We’re certainly not opposed to having more water run down the river, but we’re looking at alternative ways of doing it.” As a waterfront property owner, one of Whynacht’s concerns is erosion issues caused by the higher water levels. Whynacht says one frustration is that they aren’t getting any specific answers about why this is necessary. “With all the discussions we’ve had, there seems to be a revolving pointer — sometimes it’s for cleaning the river, sometimes for fish habitat, sometimes for diluting pollution in the river,” he

said. “We have never been given a definitive answer as to why the river level has to be raised.” “Every time we speak with either the CVRD or Water Comptroller or whomever, we don’t get definitive answers as to what the final objective is,” he added. “One of the things that came to light at one of the town hall meetings is even though there’s a willingness on behalf of the CVRD and the Water Comptroller for raising the water again, it’s what they call an interim step. “At one meeting, we were told it’s an interim step to building a dam. They don’t say that in any documentation. We know there’s another agenda they don’t tell us about. It’s like you’re invited to a card game, but the people who invited you don’t tell you what game you are playing or what deck you are using.” In his letter to the EAB, Dix, who owns Billy Goat Island and is chairman of Cowichan Lake Recreational Community Inc., states it is his opinion that “the Order changes the intent of the original licences and the rule curve significantly enough to justify the need for an application to increase water storage.” Appeals must be filed with the EAB by Aug. 30. —With files from Peter W. Rusland

Think about how you can leave a great legacy too

Estate donations: Your life’s work can make a difference, wherever you see ﬁt

rt Renshaw’s donation of $234,000 to the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation is a reminder people need to get their affairs in order sooner rather than later. The good that can come from donations like Renshaw’s can’t be emphasized enough. Instead of leaving a potential bureaucratic mess for authorities to sort out by not specifying his desires, Renshaw was very clear about what he wanted to do. The Cowichan District Hospital was to be the beneficiary and that’s exactly what happened Thursday when the Renshaw family turned a whopping cheque over to the foundation. example one There have been some other enorto consider mous donations in the past, but not many. Pat Carson’s contribution for a new CT scan at the hospital comes immediately to mind. Renshaw did not have any children and because he’d received great care in the medical system, the recipient of the largest portion of his estate was a non-brainer. The Cowichan District Hospital Foundation is very diligent about raising funds through its annual golf tournament and gala/auction, but contributions like this from private individuals can make all the difference toward patient care. Equipment is in constant need of updating or replacement and funds to do that on a regular basis just aren’t readily available anymore. And think what a great legacy it is for the family to know Renshaw’s support could potentially benefit so many people. It’s something worth considering for those fortunate enough to have the financial means and even for the average person just to set aside something for such a worthwhile cause. Giving a gift to make hospital care better is just so precious.

Seeing both sides of: increasing lake storage The case against

The case for

Here’s what opponents have been told many times, but somehow refuse to accept: Increased storage is not going to raise lake levels any higher than their current winter high water marks. The lake and the river are resources that beneﬁt the entire population of the valley, and the precious eco-system they live in. This is about self-interest, not property rights. The fears of a handful should not get in the way of the many.

The Cowichan Lake weir continues to spark debate.

Discovering 60 and all the beneﬁts of aging Paul Fletcher

News Leader Pictorial

K, I accept it. I am getting older. It’s not the aching joints, the hair loss, the eyes going somewhere, or the hearing issue I apparently suffer from that bothers me. What bothers me most is when others decide I am getting older — like my bank, which, without being asked, now generously returns to me a seniors rebate of $4 a month. Having recently turned 60, but still thinking I am not, daily life is helping me realize I have now passed middle age. It’s a very gradual process — like someone holding a door for me, or someone letting the old guy into the grocery lineup because the milk looked heavy. Thankfully, since I do not use crosswalks a lot, my fear of an offer of help to cross safely still remains a faint fear.

The mirror is easily denied. I am an expert at it. But once in a while I wear my glasses while gazing into its glass. It is amazing the depth and brevity with which life carves ones face and how far ones forehead goes back before meeting the hairline. It’s like everything is racing backwards without turning back the clock. It brings back memories from when I used to wear my long hair wild and loose in the wind. Now I risk having it blow away. Getting older is really great for getting my daily dose of cardiac-building regular exercise. I live at the top of one flight of stairs and I now run these steps several times a day. This is not a planned fitness program. It’s just that I have to return to my apartment to fetch forgotten items, or to turn off hot appliances. I used to walk the stairs but, since my

Erosion of the lakeshore and the effects of human engineering are a constant issue along the lakeshore. And government science has not shown itself to be infallible, in the past, not to mention the long legacy of decisions made due to political reasons as opposed to the overall public interest. Why should they simply accept and trust what they are being told. Why shouldn’t they protect their property?

COWICHAN LEADERS

home returns are increasing, I have built enough muscle to run up the stairs instead of walking. The benefits of aging are actually really cool. I have now learned the value of a list and have also discovered sticky notes, making me able to regularly rewrite my lists and post them in places where I won’t forget them. The weird thing is many end up stuck on my shoe heel providing me with an important stretching opportunity when retrieving them. Unfortunately most heel recoveries are old lists but, once in a while, I discover an unfinished list providing me with a whole new day’s entertainment. Another benefit of aging is what I describe as relaxed hearing. Relaxed hearing is when background noise drowns out voices that are not at my earside. It’s not all that bad since some stuff I don’t

want to hear anyway and other stuff that does filter though is often distorted enough for me to completely misunderstand what was said often leading to hilarity. Aging has also helped me become accustomed with dollar stores. Since the eyes started fading, I have become an avid ‘readers’ user. For the young set, ‘readers’ are magnifying glasses disguised as eyeglasses and are best bought at dollar stores. Shopping for new readers usually means you have no readers left to use when shopping making reader shopping twice as much fun.

YOUR TURN

Are Cowichan’s leaders doing enough to protect our environment? “I know the cost is high, but we should put a priority on cleaning up the messes we’ve made in the past.”

Derick Wallis, North Cowichan

“Probably not. Most efforts that go to help the environment end up not doing enough. I just don’t think politicians know how to (protect) it in an effective way.”

Courts need to be tough on men like William Elliott

Dear editor Twenty-five years possible for William Elliot? Really? The law is there to protect every man, woman and child. The courts have the power of our judicial system to give out sentences to everyone who breaks the law, no matter your race, religion or stature in our society. What this man did to Karrie Ann Stone and Tyeshia Jones is unforgivable. Kidnapping 10 years minimum; rape 10 years minimum; unlawful confinement five years; violent battery 10 years; murder 25 years: if a person commits any one of these crimes they should be charged in a court and given the above sentences. A sentence of 25 years with a chance for parole on good behaviour would be outrageous and totally unforgivable. He should be sentenced for all counts above, times two. Anything less is a total injustice to all people under the law. With a slap on the hand he could get out in 15 years and do this again. Please fix this problem. I’m so sorry to the families of Karrie Ann Stone and Tyeshia Jones. May we band together and put this monster away for the rest of his natural life. He deserves no less. B. Lynch Duncan

New logic needed on burning restrictions

Dear editor George Croy’s July 7 “guest opinion” was an excellent comment on life in the ecosystem. I have two acres, half of which are trees. I live right next to Crown lands, and I see their point, working as I have, to keep the ground free of debris. It is just fuel for a forest fire if there is one. Hording all this debris is ridiculous, tarping over huge piles of debris to wait for a burning day, is crazy as you would end up burning for a week or more, because the fire size they have told you can have is too small. Not to mention the rats and the like who take up residence in these piles. Driving to a drop-off centre “centrally” located, so as to stop excessive pollution from vehicles, hasn’t happened (the people poo-pooed it). So now I get to go to the gas station more often, get my oil changed

In my opinion: Prepare, take care and help keep the Cowichan clean

Malcolm Chalmers/file

Cowichan River tubing may be fun, but it’s also something that involves some forethought and responsibility and care, according to the “In my opinion” piece at right. more often, get tires sooner, just to stop CO2 emissions, better it be carbon monoxide and all those other invisible chemicals that come out of cars, than my burning sticks (CO2 ) Hmmm... the logic is getting thinner. I can see the Gods saying one can’t burn huge piles of waste, garbage, and other things that produce toxins, but backyard burning of yard waste, and air tight stoves, should be controlled using more liberal rules than they have enacted. Here’s the other, shall we say, interesting item associated with the wood stoves: if they told all of the “wood burners” to stop, we would not have enough electricity to power Vancouver Island, brown-outs would be a routine event, and then there is the CO2 for the trees, it would be gone.

danger to themselves and other road users. A reduction in speed limits is just what is required along with strict enforcement through radar and police attention. I have driven the Malahat for more than 30 years and watched and experienced all the alterations and one overriding truth is apparent. In literally thousands of journeys I have overtaken in a slower car in, say Mill Bay, only to find it alongside at Spencer Road or the next light and had the reverse happen when a faster car overtook me earlier. Nothing is gained by speeding and the only consequence is more chance of accidents. The Malahat is not a freeway or motorway and never will be. Ask yourself, how much time can be saved on a journey that only takes about half an hour? Dave Hewson

Lower speed limits, more trafﬁc enforcement on Malahat, please

Slow down, relax and enjoy the drive

Shawnigan Lake

Dear editor Jay Siskas’ July 26 opinion piece on the Malahat beggars belief. The only sensible comment was the sentence “maybe I’ve read the situation all wrong.” He just does not use critical thinking. He mocks law enforcement and “other invested parties” in their attempts to save lives. It is not a mantra to say “speed kills,” it is a fact. His conclusion that lowering the speed limit would have the public “up in arms” is sheer uninformed speculation. Most drivers seem to behave sensibly, obeying the posted limits or at least not exceeding them excessively. The usual suspects are those who treat the road as a race track and represent a

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.

Mill Bay

Dear editor Further to Jay Siska’s July 26 column on slowing traffic over the Malahat, I cannot condone his (and others) seeming desire for speed. Safety is cited as a serious concern for all who travel this portion of the Trans-Canada Highway. As it takes about 18 minutes from the start of Malahat Drive to the end under the current allowable speed limits, I recommend incorporating the time into your trip to drive safely. Sheesh, we all know its limitations, so why rush? Slow down, follow the rules of the road, respect others, relax, enjoy the drive and we’ll all arrive safe and sound. Daphne Moldowin Cobble Hill

s residents of Duncan and frequent recreational users of the Cowichan River, we wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to all who came to our emergency assistance July 27. Two savagely deep lacerations on the left foot of 12-year-old Winter Koyote — in a steep-banked section of the river downstream from Vimy with no readily apparent way out — plunged the 12 tubers ranging in age from five to 68 into a terrifying situation. Our family would like to extend our deep gratitude to: Dennis and his wife (last name unknown) who phoned 911 and guided rescue access to the road, Robert and his wife who voluntarily interrupted their river ride and helped carry our daughter to the ambulance; and Rhonda, for providing access through her property to assist in the retrieval of the shellshocked remainder of the group. We further commend the quick response of the paramedic team and the skilled staff at Cowichan District Hospital— in particular Dr. Isabel Rimmer. This experience renewed our commitment to appropriate footwear. Well-fastened, strongsoled river shoes are indispensable: avoid flipflops! Appropriate shoes protect against sharp objects and make it easier to walk on the river bottom, and enable climbing through the bush on the banks if necessary. The Cowichan River is a wilderness setting which presents its own natural hazards: the addition of broken glass, or even crumpled tin create the unnecessary potential for genuine tragedy. Please pack out what you take in. The clinical eye assessing the severity of the injuries Winter sustained determined she undoubtedly stepped on a jaggedly broken bottle. Our daughter will recover, though she and her pony Licorice will be sidelined for this years’ show season. A few years ago, a volunteer group snorkelled the length of the river’s most used sections retrieving cans, bottles, and other detritus. Perhaps we should consider organizing such a party again. We can all do our part to keep our valley not only beautiful, but safe too! Most of all, we wish to acknowledge and thank the three adults who coordinated the rescue: Winter’s uncle, Patrick Kelly, and his brother-in-law, Dean Chen, both residents of Shanghai, China — who facilitated the rescue and held the group on the river together respectively — with the assistance of Winter’s paternal tubing-grandmother, Dr. Alison Wilcock. If there is anyone we failed to mention please accept our apologies for our oversight, and on behalf of all members of the immediate and extended Koyote family, our most sincere thanks for your help.

Rupert and Kate Koyote are Duncan residents. The annual Cowichan River Clean Up is Sunday Aug. 18, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Registration and free continental breakfast at the Little Big House, near the Cowichan Tribes Si’em Lelum Gym. For more, call 250-749-3055 or 250-701-0143.

the number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias is growing. New statistics indicate that if nothing changes the number of people living with dementia in B.C. will more than double over the next generation. The cumulative healthcare cost is projected to reach more than $130.2 billion.’’ With incidences of Alzheimer’s disease on the rise, the importance of exercising your brain as well as the limber parts of your body can’t be emphasized enough. Mind Games will test the expertise of music trivia buffs to identify numerous songs and artists from the 1950s to the present. There’s still room for interested persons to take part. Teams of eight are being formed to take part in the competition. Teams of fewer than eight can still register, as can individuals or smaller groups looking to combine with others looking to fill out their teams. Numerous sponsors have already jumped on board to donate prizes for the event. There will be many draw prizes in addition to rewards for members of the top teams. It promises to be an exciting night and all proceeds from the $25 entry fee per person will go to the Alzheimer Society.

HEART OF COWICHAN

High Summer Means “SOMETHING’S” Right Around the Corner… Story by Jen Coyle oesn’t it seem that we were just getting excited for the kids to be getting out of school for the summer, with warm days ahead, outdoor activities & unregimented time off? Seen through the eyes of a child, Summer really does seem to last forever, but here we are mid-August, and the reality is that September’s only a stone’s throw away. So much to do, so much to plan….yet, why not see that as a good thing?! Picturing your little ones starting up in dance classes for the fall & imagining how beautiful they’ll look adorned in the brightest styles & colours offered at Body Wrapsody – Dance & Fitness Wear, or from the array of choices at Giggle Gear Clothing Co. Concerned with showing their own brand of style, while maintaining that casual playfulness, the boys may be eager to check out Area 51 for skate shoes, boards & apparel. They’ve expanded to being Canada’s largest Online Skate Shop, and have grown from maintaining their friendly

small town service commitment, to offering the best brands online. While the kids are busy looking on one of their devices, it might finally leave the family computer for you! With all this fantastic warm weather, it’s probably been a while since you’ve had an opportunity to surf the net, so why not beat the rush and have your PC updated or maintained professionally by Seaside Computers on Queen St. in downtown Duncan. Having a fully equipped repair shop with highly trained and skilled technicians, they can diagnose your problem and give a free estimate in all cases. Perhaps you’re a shopper that enjoys that in person experience, of running your hands through the fashionable textiles, draping from gleaming racks throughout our fashion forward stores in Duncan. Back to school style trends can always be found at Wall Street, with their large selections of ladies clothing, accessories, menswear, footwear and gifts displayed in their multi-leveled showroom.

hree quail families used my garden as a stop in their daily foraging route this year, the little ones scuttling along behind dad with mom encouraging the lingerers from the rear. As the days passed, the size of the covey diminished as cats, mink and the neighbourhood raccoon discovered an easy lunch. In August 1919, the Leader published Vancouver Island’s hunting seasons for the year. Between Oct. 18 and Nov. 23, hunters’ daily limit for quail was 20; season limit was 100. Wild bird hunting was a big part of life in the early years of the 20th Century, and opinions differed on when the seasons for deer, ducks, geese, grouse, pheasants and quail should be. Mayor T. Pitt, chairman of the Duncan Board of Trade’s game committee, was a critic of the Game Conservation board regulations that had been approved by the provincial government. Instead of a three-week lull between the grouse and pheasant seasons, grouse shooting should be allowed right up to the beginning of pheasant season, he said. As well, how could the provincial police check on the kills on top of their regular duties, he mused. That year, bounty on cougars was increased to $25 and on wolves to $15.

Experience Downtown Duncan

HEART OF COWICHAN

If you’re looking for something unique & affordable, a wander through the Garment District should satisfy that need. You’ll be pleasantly surprised when the upscale looking outfit you think might be out of your league, is in fact dangling an extremely reasonable price tag! While you’re on Craig Street, a great place to go for natural fibres & fair trade brands on everything from dresses to leggings, scarves to purses, or soaps to lipsticks, is Prudence Organics – Natural Beauty and Fashion. Sometimes it’s not all in the name… Martin’s Men’s & Boy’s Wear might present a surprise to some, when looking for youth fashion and catching a glimpse of the cute tops for girls in the windows, when walking by. Not only do they offer a huge assortment of sport and dress wear for gentlemen, youth and boys, they carry brand name jeans, t-shirts and dresses for the female variety too. Although updating wardrobes is necessary and can often be a challenge, you can’t talk about back to school without going back to talking about back to school supplies. Let Monk Office be the Helpful Office People they say they are, and I think you’ll find that it really is true! They started out with a premier store in Victoria over 60 years ago, showing their dedication to the products they sell, the service provided & their support of community and the environment. It’s easy to see

New Faces, New Places

why they’ve grown to ten stores on Vancouver Island and why their store in our downtown is full of friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. Let them take a look at your supply lists and help you get the right products at the right price. Before we know it, the warmer days will be returning to the cooler breezes of Autumn and we’ll be back to our indoor routines soon enough. Make sure to take advantage of these beautiful day lit evenings and take a stroll through our beautiful city’s downtown to see what can still be experienced outside.

Neatly tucked into City Square between the Wine Bar and Belongings is the City Square Barber. Owner Sharon has created the perfect space for the entire family to drop in for that back to school haircut or trim. No appointments necessary! While you’re out and about, check out the changes at Indigo Children’s Consignment on Station Street. Under new management, the business’ downtown Duncan location has undergone major renovations, and reopened with its amazing and affordable selection of clothing, toys, and children’s gear Friday August 9th. Also look for great deals as the seasons change at Pursuit of Happiness; they are in a new bigger location in the Merchant Building, beside the Twisted Mug Café, on Craig Street!

Buy One, Get One! Extra Lean Ground Beef

Hot rods roll through north end

On Sale

entral Island classic car buffs are fine-tuning their engines, polishing their chrome and shining their tailfins in preparation to roll through the Cowichan Valley’s north end this weekend. The two-day 10th-annual Ladysmith Show and Shine and Rod Run thunders its way through Ladysmith and Chemainus today and tomorrow. Friday night’s Rod Run offers local fans a chance to spot their passing favourites as a convoy of classics makes its way from the A&W on Highway 1 just north of Ladysmith, down to Chemainus and back. Ron Howe, Show and Shine’s chairman, said Rod Run participants will congregate at the A&W prior to their 7 p.m. departure. The caravan is scheduled to roll through Ladysmith via First Avenue and

Dogwood Drive before crossing Highway 1 to follow Chemainus Road to the roundabout at Oak Street and Victoria Road in Chemainus. From there, the motorcade will retrace its route back along Chemainus Road to Highway 1 before returning to its starting point. “The route usually takes about an hour,” Howe said, “and it seems to be getting bigger every year. Last year, we had upwards of 70 to 80 cars.” The following morning, Show and Shine launches at 10 a.m. along a lengthy span of First Avenue, extending from Warren Street to Roberts Street in downtown Ladysmith. Howe has 40 vehicles signed up to date, he said, with room for 260. “Most people sign up on the day of the event if the weather’s good,” Howe said, adding that last year’s show drew “between 250 and 260” cars and bikes, including a rare 1918 Cadillac.

Emerging Canadian balladeer to percolate in the Showroom Sandra Sperounes of the Edmonton Journal calls Colleen Brown “a national treasure in the making – along the lines of Joni Mitchell, Anne Murray, Gordon Lightfoot or k.d. lang.” Cowichan music fans can ﬁnd out why Sunday when the Edmonton-based folk/pop singer performs at the Duncan Garage Showroom.

Brown grew up on the prairies of Alberta and Saskatchewan and is now a force on the Canadian music scene, travelling coast to coast, singing and playing guitar, piano and bass. Her promotional material says writing music that takes on the subjects of love, work, disappointment and the many facets of humanity,

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 17

Brown is currently recording her fourth album in studios across North America. She expects to release her new album this winter. Brown performs Aug. 18 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. For more information, visit duncangarageshowroom.ca.

Venerable Woodstock still something Special Fourteen years and counting: annual event helping the disabled celebrate the joy of music

Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

he Special Woodstock festival may be going on its 14th year in Cowichan, but its concept and spirit are very much as strong and the same as when it made its debut. “I had been playing music for people with developmental disabilities for a number of years in their homes and at community centres and each time I left one of those music sessions, I was filled with awe,” explained organizer Shelley Vaags of the time of her life before Special Woodstock existed. “(I was in) awe of how happy everyone I met was despite their disabilities. How they could laugh, sing and play music despite the difficulties they were obviously faced with every day.” The catalyst for the festival occured when Vaags was watching a stage play of Godspell at the Royal Theatre in Victoria. “A lady in a wheelchair came into the balcony with her caregiver and sat near the back. I didn’t notice her until the music started and she squealed with delight quite loudly, which frankly was the way I was feeling inside but had learned to control the urge with societal conditioning,” Vaags said. “Many of us turned around to see where it was coming from out of curiosity. “I believe the caregiver was afraid that her client was disturbing us, because she promptly wheeled this lady out of the theatre immediately. I felt terrible for this lady.” This got Vaags thinking. “Where could these people that had no control over their verbalizations and spontaneous movements go to express and enjoy their love of music?” With a grassy outdoor venue envisioned, Vaags moved forward with the concept at her next music session with disabled folks. “I suggested this to the people there who were singing so well or performing,” she said. “We should go on the road. What if we had a place for you to perform on stage for all of your friends and family? And we could invite all the other musicians who do what I do to donate a set — kind of like Woodstock.” Although Vaags was keen, it took about four years until she realized she needed to power on with the idea by herself. “I talked to the Lions Club of Mill Bay and the Malahat because I was talking to a friend in Shawnigan about this idea and she told me

Andrew Leong/file

David Simms dances with Tawny Daw to the music of 20th Century Men at last year’s edition of Special Woodstock. her dad was in the Lions Club and he would help me out. Her dad recommended I go to a meeting and explain the idea to them. I worked out what it would cost and divided it by the amount of clubs on the island. If each gave me $150, we could do it.” The folks at Providence Farm were happy to allow Vaags to use their space as the festival’s venue. “It was the perfect spot to have it. I knew it as soon as I walked on to the gravel driveway and saw the sun beaming through the trees and the baby lambs leaping in the field.” And with the final, yet most important piece in the puzzle still to be placed — the music — Vaags tapped into her circle of talented musician buddies. “Many of these musicians had never been involved with the special needs community before. It was truly uncharted territory for most, but everyone trusted their gut that it was time to make a change and bridge that gap in our community,” she said. Fast forwarding 14 years, the concept for the festival’s very much the same.

“We have had many wonderful entertainers, Rick Scott, Allison Crowe, The Timebenders, Ken MacCoy, Swinging Trio, as well as the best bands from all over the island step forward to help us create an energetic, fun, safe, family-oriented festival,” she said. This year’s lineup includes Scott, who also acts as an ambassador for the Downs Syndrome Society of Canada. Also featured are high-energy country band Montgomery County, the Smileys, Sloppy Joes, Stiffler’s Mom, What About Us, Jupiter Jill, Mahri Sherlock, Peter Bourne, Peace, Love and Joy, Linnea Bruce, Hope King, Martyn Jones, Len Smiley, Bill Levity and Shauna McAllister. Also front and centre will be participants from group homes and day programs across the island who’ve been preparing for their stage appearance all year. “I come across clients throughout the year still proudly wearing their Special Woodstock concert shirts,” said Vaags. “It’s the music that brings people out, but more than that it’s become a gathering of people who want the best for their families and

Let us help bring it to reality. Call or visit our showroom.

everyone in their community on the Island and as a world community.” Growing festival participant numbers are a true testament to its success. That, and the smiles spread across folk’s faces, added Vaags. “One thousand, 400 people joined us last year. I saw nothing but smiles.” And besides entertainment spread out on three different stages, the festival boasts stilts, magicians, giant puppets, a station to make a musical instrument, an adult changing area, food vendors, craft booths and Karaoke. “I know why I continue to do this,” said Vaags. “It’s a great party with all my best friends old and new. I walk away feeling hope for the world and love for everyone, and a peace in my soul that comes with knowing that everyone else I know wants that too.” Your ticket What: Special Woodstock When: Sunday, Aug. 18 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Where: Providence Farm Admission: donations accepted

Those whom we love go out of sight, But never out of mind; They are cherished in the hearts of those they left behind, Loving and kind in all his ways, Upright and just in all his days. Sincere and true in heart and mind, Beautiful memories he left behind. Love Barb, Barry (Kristine and Ashton), Bret and Victoria, and Kelly For it was not into my ear he whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

CLARKE, Gordon Steven Dec. 17, 1961 â€“ Aug. 8, 2013 All of a sudden, the world became a little quieter. The voice that expressed excitement for all things old and new, the voice that we all know and loved has been silenced. Gordy was born on December 17, 1961 at Cowichan District Hospital. He lived with his family in Honeymoon Bay for his early years where he climbed fences, watched the Big trucks and enjoyed watching hockey and being in Daddyâ€™s Truck. Gordyâ€™s family remained close to him throughout the years and the love they had for him showed, in how Gordy expressed his affections. Left behind to mourn his loss is Gordyâ€™s mother and father, Geoff & Murphy (Arlene), his sister Ina (Kelowna), his sister Sharon (Ontario), his brother Gerald & sister-in-law Rhonda (Ft. St. James) as well as nieces and nephews that loved their Uncle Gordy. Also left to mourn his loss is the many friends that Gordy had in Duncan and with Vital Society. He will be sadly missed. A memorial service will be held at Clements Centre, Lunch On Clements on August 20, 2013 at 1 â€“ 3 p.m.

Juniorsâ€™ scores superb

John Hicks tournament: Jones leads a top-notch boysâ€™ field Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

mazing golf by junior players makes the John Hicks Memorial tournament at Mount Brenton Golf Club one to watch. Future stars in the sport put it all on the line over two days with scores more expected of experienced players. â€œWeâ€™ve got some real dandies,â€™â€™ said Pat Irwin, the Zone 6 director for junior development and the man whoâ€™s long been behind the interest in junior golf at Mount Brenton. â€œWeâ€™re coming up with some real good ones.â€™â€™ Players like Shirin Anjarwalla of Nanaimo are way ahead of themselves in terms of development. Sheâ€™s just 13 but came one shot off the ladiesâ€™ course record at Mount Brenton the first day with a sizzling 70. Backed by a 77 the second day, Anjarwalla easily topped the three girls in the event with a low gross 147. On the boysâ€™ side, Mount Brenton golfer Dallas Jones of Ladysmith fired an incredible 66 the first day followed by a 73 for a two-day total of 139. A total of 32 boys joined the three girls in the field. â€œItâ€™s been down this year,â€™â€™ said Irwin of the tournament entries basically around the island. But the calibre remains extremely strong, judging by the scores players like Anjarwalla and Jones are recording. The Hicks tournament has long provided a great opportunity for

young players to compete in a highlevel tournament with others from the island and the occasional participant from the Lower Mainland. â€œI named it the John Hicks junior before John Hicks passed away because heâ€™d done so much work for the junior golf,â€™â€™ said Irwin. Behind winner Jones in the low gross standings for the boys was Zach Anderson of Nanaimo with a 140 after rounds of 69 and 71. Gavin Hollebakken, a dual member of Mount Brenton and Cowichan, was third at 147. Jack Nessler of Arbutus Ridge was the low net winner at 127 followed by Nolan Descoteau of Nanaimo (130), Nick Honour of Salt Spring (136) and Riley Kazanowski of Nanaimo and Jones, both at 137. Anjarwalla finished with a 10-stroke advantage in girlsâ€™ low gross over Abigail Rigsby of Crown Isle. Emily Adams of Mount Brenton shot a 162 and was cited by Irwin as one of the reasons why he loves being involved in junior golf. â€œYou canâ€™t ask for better kids,â€™â€™ he said. Mount Brenton players went straight into the club championship and Adams, as the lone girl, joined the boys. â€œI put her off the blues (tees),â€™â€™ said Irwin. She shot a 76 in the first round for third overall and eventually fell back to sixth among the seven total players. Garret Margetts led the boys with a low gross 134 over two days, with Jones second at 139.

Stingrays receive royal treatment

Exciting experience: Young swimmers put themselves to the test in a spectacular international venue Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

even Duncan Stingrays raced in the popular King Aquatic Club’s July Invitational meet in Federal Way, Washington. More than 900 swimmers from all over the Pacific Northwest attended. “It was an exciting experience for all of our swimmers, especially those who had never raced off of Vancouver Island,’’ noted Stingrays’ head coach Leanne Sirup. For Cate Cochrane, 10, Olin Dahlstrom, 10, and Ty Dahlstrom, 8, it was a unique experience to race internationally at a large facility where the 1990 Goodwill Games and 2012 United States Olympic trials for diving were held. The only other swimmer who was a first-time racer at the facility and at the high magnitude of competition was Lalaine Gower, 14. Jessica Castle, 10, Oliver Castle, 12, and Cecilia Johnson, 14, all competed there last year.

Don Bodger/file

Oliver Castle set two Duncan Stingrays’ club records for his age group during the King Aquatic Club’s meet. Oliver Castle and Ty Dahlstrom both posted personal bests in all their swims. Jessica Castle, Cochrane, Gower and Johnson were each one short of personal best

perfection and three personal bests were earned by Olin Dahlstrom. Heat wins were enjoyed by all, with awards of the coveted rubber duck for each one. Gower and Johnson both qualified for five finals each. Two Duncan Swim Team club records were broken by Oliver Castle in the 400- and 800-metre freestyles, originally set the previous week during the provincial AAAs at UBC. The 400 record was previously held since 1982 by Kurt Vollmerhause and the 800 since 2002 by Colby Smith. Top 10 placings were as follows: Oliver Castle (one silver, four bronze); Olin Dahlstrom (one silver); Ty Dahlstrom (two bronze); Johnson (one fourth, one ninth); Jessica Castle (one sixth, one eighth); and Gower (one sixth, one 10th). “We are excited for our young team of swimmers who are learning to race in unfamiliar environments and achieve success,’’ summed up Sirup. “This is a difficult skill to learn and our swimmers made it look easy.’’

Loss impacts cricket playoff hopes

Athlete’s feats: Sturrock a great addition to soccer squad, Radcliffe earns four medals Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

pirited competition from here, there and everywhere: Cowichan’s playoff hopes took a big blow when it lost a close Victoria and District Cricket Association match at Metchosin Sunday. Cowichan’s four-game win streak was snapped in the process during the two-wicket loss. Cowichan scored 198 for seven in 45 overs, with Stephen Cannon leading the way with 113 runs. Metchosin posted 199 for eight in 40.4 overs. Nagy Thomas was the leading Cowichan bowler.

Cowichan’s record now sits at 9-7, just back of the 8-6-1 Albion team that occupies the fourth and final playoff spot. Cowichan finishes the regular season schedule with two home games. United Victoria provides the opposition at Shawnigan Lake Saturday. • Continued success is paying off for Cowichan LMG Pringle in attracting new players to the Div. 1 Island Soccer League team. The latest addition to workouts that have been going on for more than two weeks now is Blair Sturrock, 31, who was born in Scotland. He comes with an extremely impressive soccer resume playing overseas and recently had a stint

Cowichan is gearing up for the start of the regular season the weekend after Labour Day. “We’re still in the process of training camp, guys trying to make the team,’’ said Martin.

Girls thrive in nationals

U18 field hockey: Valley players prominent on B.C. teams

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

he fine line that separates the top teams in the U18 girls’ national field hockey championships was evident again in Vancouver, with three valley girls garnering gold while three others just missed the medals. Casey Crowley, Stef Langkammer and Claire Seeliger all played key roles for the championship B.C. Blue side. Sara Lowes, Chelsey Cleemoff and Jenner Court gave it all they had with the B.C. Yellow team that finished fourth. Ironically, the head-to-head meeting between the two teams that wound up on the same side of the draw for the round robin ended scoreless. But B.C. Blue otherwise went undefeated by beating Alberta 10-0 and Nova Scotia 19-0 in the other round robin games, B.C. White 6-1 in the semifinal and Ontario 3-0 in the final. B.C. Yellow clobbered Nova Scotia 17-0 and beat Alberta 5-2, but fell 4-0 to Ontario in the semifinals and then lost a heartbreaker in a sudden death shootout for the bronze medal with B.C. White. It was the third national title for Langkammer and the first for Seeliger. And it came with an added bonus for the good friends. “This is the first year Stef and I have

been on the same team so it was extra special,’’ said Seeliger. Seeliger played on the flawless B.C. Blue defence that didn’t allow a goal and Langkammer patrolled a forward position. “It’s always fun,’’ said Langkammer. “We know all the girls now. It’s not like we’re introducing ourselves to anyone new.’’ Outside the top four, the scores were obviously very lopsided. “It wasn’t what we wanted to do,’’ said Langkammer. “It came down to goal differential,’’ added Seeliger. Crowley is also becoming a veteran at the national level, having played previously on U15 Blue. She played in the midfield. “It was a step up, more intense play,’’ Crowley said. “I’m used to playing with some of the girls like Stef and Claire.’’ In the final, “we held them off getting the ball out of their D,’’ said Crowley. “That’s where we won the game, I would say.’’ Court was one of the more experienced players on the B.C. Yellow side. “We have lots of younger girls — not many Grade 12s,’’ she said. Court played centre mid, Cleemoff sweeper and Lowes defender. All the girls spent July weekends travelling to Vancouver for training before the tournament.

Tour de Rock golfing fundraiser at Cowichan Golf and Country Club

SPOrTS wATCH

They’ll be rockin’ at Cowichan Golf and Country Tuesday. The Cops For Cancer Tour de Rock campaign for 2013 is off to a rousing start and a full calendar of events includes the upcoming Cowichan Canadian Tire Tee-Off for the Tour Aug. 20 with a shotgun start at 1 p.m.

Proceeds from the fundraising event will help send kids with cancer to Camp Goodtimes, a place where they can get away from it all for a while with others who share the same challenges and just be kids again. The fun day of fundraising also just happens to include some golf. Media

riders Joe Perkins of CTV and 107.3 KOOL FM’s Jillian Vandergeest, pictured, will be there. The ongoing support of Bob Bridger and the team at Canadian Tire and the Cowichan Golf Club team of Stormin’ Norman Jackson has been a huge benefit with the campaign.

Horseshoe world champion finds her focus Overcoming obstacles: Beating autism only one component of life’s conquests now Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

Don Bodger

This is what a world champion looks like. Lindsay Hodgins returned to the valley from Utah as the best in her category with a big trophy to show for it.

vercoming the odds sets Lindsay Hodgins apart from others in her daily life and in competition. Hodgins, 16, who’s going into Grade 12 at Cowichan Secondary School, has autism but that didn’t stop her from finding her niche in sports and winning a National Horseshoe Pitching Association world championship. Autism is described as a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and verbal and non-verbal communication, and by restricted, repetitive or stereotyped behaviour. Horseshoes has proven to be a great outlet for Hodgins, bringing her out of her shell and gaining many friendships along the way. She just shrugs when asked about the effects of her autism on the ability to focus and compete. “She’s Mrs. Sociable now,’’ said her grandfather Wayne Hodgins, who’s been a great mentor for her on the road to the world championship she just won for junior girls in St. George, Utah. Lindsay, a member of the Victoria Horseshoe Club, was featured on a CHEK-TV report after her return home from the worlds and made a matter-of-fact assessment about bringing horseshoes more into the mainstream. “I’d like to see more people my age get into it, instead of electronic stuff,’’ she said. “She’s a great ambassador for the club,’’ added Victoria Horseshoe Club’s tournament director Tony Moffat. “She’s smiling all the time when she’s playing horseshoes,’’ said Wayne. Lindsay immediately points to Wayne as the reason she got into horseshoes. “I played when I was young at her age at a cottage,’’ said Wayne. “Then I hadn’t played for 40 years.’’ He’s been the vice-president of the Victoria Horseshoe Club for four years and that coincided with the time Lindsay began playing in 2010. She went in four tournaments that first year and her average was about 9%. “It took awhile,’’ Lindsay conceded to catch on. “I put a pit in the yard where we used to live and I used to play with her pretty well every day,’’ said Wayne. “It got to the point she was beating me and she enjoyed it.’’ It got to the point where Lindsay was beating a lot of people of all ages and genders — even longtime valley player Jerry Melissa, who has many championships on his resume. “I beat him once,’’ said Lindsay. Last year, she hit the big time by winning the island championship, provincials and Canadians in Saskatoon

for girls 18 and under. Changing to a better kind of horseshoe was also significant and Lindsay did the rest to become somewhat of a rarity as a Canadian winning a world championship in her first try at it this year. “It doesn’t usually happen,’’ said Wayne. In fact, Lindsay is just the third Canadian junior girl to win a world title since competition at that level began in 1950 and the first from B.C. “We were hoping to make the final day playoff when we got there,’’ quipped Wayne. Lindsay was clearly superior in the final round. The closest of her five victories was 40-25 over Heather Feavel of Wisconsin. She also prevailed over two competitors from Montana and one each from Vermont and Illinois. “Right before the fourth game, I knew if I won that one I automatically won because none of the others could catch up,’’ said Lindsay. She posted averages ranging from 56 to 91%, amounting to better than every second shot being a ringer. Lindsay also showed she’s quick to make adjustments in the world championship. “She’s never played in clay before,’’ said Wayne. “It’s a big difference from playing in sand.’’ “After you stop short, it won’t slide on,’’ said Lindsay. She’s been playing in tournaments virtually every weekend before and after the world championships. The key to success for Lindsay? “Just concentrate on the pegs,’’ she says.

ummer’s over. Hockey’s starting. Well, not quite — the summer part at least. It goes on till Sept. 21, but hockey is indeed back on the horizon with the Cowichan Valley Capitals getting set to begin preparations for the 2013-14 B.C. Hockey League season. “Officially, we can’t start training camp till the 19th,’’ said new Caps’ head coach Bob Beatty. The team will have between 55 and

60 players in camp, with the first ice session Monday, Aug. 19 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Cowichan Arena. There will be practices each day at the same time Monday through Wednesday and scrimmages in the evenings from 7:15 to 10:15 p.m. “We’ve got more players at fall camp than I anticipated that we had planned on just because there’s some competition and we wanted to make sure we included local players,’’ said Beatty. A Thursday intersquad game is planned for Thursday at 7:30 p.m. and then the Caps will head into

exhibition play Friday, August 23 at Fuller Lake Arena against Alberni Valley. Subsequent exhibition games will be played in Lake Cowichan Aug. 24 — an all-rookie game — against Nanaimo and a rematch there with more of a veteran lineup Aug. 27. The Caps then go to Nanaimo Aug. 28 and Victoria Aug. 30, host Victoria Aug. 31 and start the season in Chilliwack at the second-annual Showcase tournament. “I’m excited to see a lot of the players and get to know them,’’ said Beatty.

Don Bodger/file

Bob Beatty, who was named the new Caps’ coach it seems like ages ago, is getting ready to put players through their paces on the ice. “Lots of them have good backgrounds. It’s a matter of what their

compete level’s like and what they do under pressure.’’
