Thousands line up online to support Terry the Terrier Dog beating: Online petition urging hefty sentence gains momentum on the web

T
he story of ‘Terry’ the Boston terrier-French bulldog assaulted April 21 in Cowichan has gone viral again. That’s thanks to a petition created by Chris and Leigh Davies, witnesses to the April offence. As of Tuesday morning, the online Justice for Terry petition had collected 14,464 signatures calling for tough punishment if the dog’s
owner is found guilty in the case. “We the undersigned respectfully request that Crown Counsel recommend to the judge the maximum sentence available under the law and that, if Brandon Scott Harrison is found guilty of the crime of animal cruelty against his dog ‘Terry,’ the honourable sentencing Judge in the Provincial Court of British Columbia apply the maximum sentence available for this offense,” states the petition. “We also request that, if Harrison is found guilty, the court, in accordance with Section 24(3) of the British Columbia Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, ‘prohibit the person from owning or having custody or control of an animal’ for the rest of his lifetime.” This recent online action followed thousands of Facebook page visits and 345 shares of a post about the incident shortly after it
happened. That incident saw the Davies come across the dog (they’ve since called Terry) while driving down Cowichan Lake Road. Terry stepped with caution onto the road at the Gerz Road turnoff. The Davies pulled over, flashing their lights to warn oncoming traffic to stop. That’s when the situation turned ugly. “We saw a 20-something thug coming down Gerz Road, obviously the owner of (the dog) shouting... (The dog) was cowering now and sat down in the middle of the road,” Chris said after the incident. According to Chris, the “thug” then pinned the terrier by the neck to the road and punched him three times in the head. And that’s not all. more on page 6
chool District 79 is handing out accolades to its staff for a “remarkably smooth” beginning to the school year. “Given the amount of change imposed on our school system we have had a remarkably smooth start-up this year,’’ stated superintendent Joe Rhodes. “We had a few glitches, as we do every year, but no more than in other years.’’ Parents have expressed concerns about revised bus schedules, and squalid conditions in a Frances Kelsey Secondary School portable as school opened. But assistant superintendent Lorna Newman said Joe Rhodes: work was done to alleviate the concerns at the portable. shared excitement And the district took the step of issuing a media release praising staff for the enormous job undertaken and completed under massive restructuring program. “Now that we have worked through the startup issues, we want to share our excitement and pride about some of the projects successfully completed by our staff,’’ Rhodes noted. Changes arising from the restructuring were made with a one-time budget of about $750,000. “The scope and scale of work accomplished by school district staff is nothing short of impressive,’’ noted Rhodes. About 12,000 boxes were packed, moved and unpacked; 27,000 library books reprocessed; 4,000 students registered for busing; 1,500 computers reconfigured; 500 computers moved or recycled; and increased wireless capacity for all school buildings. The transformation of two schools, Ecole Mount Prevost and George Bonner, from middle schools into elementary schools were singled out as being particularly impressive within tight timelines. Changes made to the schools included the creation of five kindergarten classrooms, including the installation of in-class washrooms. more on page 6 bchonda.com

Island Savings explores merger with interior credit union
Friday, September 13, 2013
Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 3
Better together: Talks underway with First West about joining forces with valley credit union
Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
T
he Island Savings’ promised ‘banking experience’ could sure grow if the Duncan-based credit union joins First West Credit Union. Boards of Island Savings and First West said Wednesday they’re having “exploratory discussions” about the merger that would see First West own Island Savings. “Through First West Credit Union’s one-of-a-kind partnership model, Island Savings would retain its local brand, local leadership and island community focus,” a press release from IS board chairman James McKenzie said. No branch closures or staff layoffs would occur, the credit unions’ brass explain, touting boosted lending capacity to small- and mid-size businesses. But before finalizing a deal, the two credit unions must do “due diligence” and seek provincial regulator consent through the Financial Institutions Commission. The merger also requires a vote from Island Savings’ 60,000 or so members in around February, said IS CEO Rod Dewar. His head office would stay in Duncan where community contracts,
such as Island Savings Centre funding, will remain status quo. Dewar echoed McKenzie’s notion joining Langley-based First West will allow IS to grow faster than it may have on its own. “Together, our credit unions will have greater resiliency to market fluctuations and be more agile in meeting our members’ needs today and into the future,” McKenzie says. Added Dewar: “This merger would take us from being a mid-tier player to something much larger. Our lending cap would also more than double.” Dewar dismissed notions his larger credit union would become another a fat-cat bank. “Not true. We’ll remain a local business making local decisions.” First West’s partnership model has proven a boon to other B.C. credit unions, including Envision Financial, Valley First and most recently, Enderby & District Financial, McKenzie says. “We’ve been really impressed with Island Savings’ member focus, financial strength and commitment to local island communities,” says Shawn Neumann, First West’s chairman. “They’re definitely a like-minded credit union that shares our perspective that co-operative banking should be about creating real value for our members and being the

Island Savings CEO Rod Dewar says a merger with First West would give both credit unions better resiliency during tough times. best option for British Columbians who know the value of banking locally.” The merger would mean one of B.C.’s most extensive credit union networks spanning the central and south island and Gulf Islands, through the Fraser Valley, north to
Kitimat and throughout the Okanagan, Thompson and Similkimeen valleys. Led by Launi Skinner, First West is B.C.’s third-largest credit union with $7.1 billion in assets under administration, more than 171,000 members, close to 1,300 employees, and 40
branches throughout the province. Island Savings is a Top-50 Best Employer and Top-30 Greenest Companies in Canada, offering financial, insurance and investment advice and products to some 100,000 islanders while managing a total portfolio of $2.8 billion.

Valentine’s Day conviction now waiting for Halloween sentence
Const. David Pompeo’s sentencing on an aggravated assault charge in the shooting of Bill Gillespie in 2009 will now take place over two days, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, in Duncan Provincial Court. The sentencing has been delayed numerous times since Pompeo’s conviction on Valentine’s Day of this year. The latest round of delays got into constitutional arguments about the Crown’s
decision to pursue a longer period of incarceration than previously discussed. A claim that was prejudicial to Pompeo has since been dismissed and it’s back to sentencing. At the same time, the dates of defence counsel Ravi Hira’s appeal of the conviction have also been pushed back. The appeal was originally supposed to be heard next week, Sept. 17 and 18, in
Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 5
Vancouver but will now take place Dec. 9 and 10. There’s a possibility the appeal dates will be moved to Victoria. It will be exactly four years next week on Sept. 18 when Gillespie was shot during a routine traffic stop near Chemainus at a residence on Juniper Road off Henry Road.

No charges coming in Duncan garbage blaze Late June fire: Federal government orders clean-up measures on site, Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
N
o charges or fines are being laid against a Cowichan Tribes member who burned a mountain of garbage near Duncan in June, a federal agent says. Results of the federal probe into that blaze are outlined in an email reply to News Leader Pictorial questions sent to Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada’s Hazel Desharnais. AANDC brass would not name the person who torched the machine-piled junk sitting off Indian Road. “The waste site in question is held through a traditional holding arrangement with the Cowichan First Nation, which is not registered with AANDC in
any official capacity,” she notes. “Regional (Cowichan) officials had a discussion with the operator in July 2013, and delivered a cease-and-desist order against further burning,” Desharnais’ email says. “The operator has agreed not to burn any additional waste.” The operator had earlier been handed a cease-and-desist order by AANDC in February 2013 concerning garbage storage on the site. The department’s investigation followed a fire that choked parts of Duncan with smoke for four days. The blaze of construction debris, trash, rail ties and other buried stuff was ordered snuffed June 28 by Tribes’ Chief Harvey Alphonse. AANDC has asked the operator to haul all site wastes to a licensed disposal facility, and remediate the Tribes’ site to residential or commercial
standards, the feds say. AANDC is working with Tribes to implement measures ensuring no more fires happen at the site, Desharnais notes, but the department doesn’t explain those measures. “As with any fire,” answers Desharnais, “an individual who witnesses a fire can help protect the public by calling 9-1-1, or the local emergency service to request emergency support.” Cowichan Tribes contracts with North Cowichan to provide fire protection services on the site. But North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure has stated his fire hall had no jurisdiction on Tribes land. Neither did Duncan’s volunteer hall, city Mayor Phil Kent said. Asked if any haulers to Tribes’ site are being investigated, Desharnais’ says, “Investigation of the dumping is ongoing, there-
fore further comment about what action the department may take would be inappropriate at this time.” Meanwhile, her department’s seeking answers if a permit was issued, to whom and when, for extracting gravel from a massive pit — beside the burn site — overlooking the fish-bearing Cowichan River. “Under the Indian Act,” says Desharnais, “a permit is required for extracting gravel on reserve lands. “AANDC’s permitting process is rigorous, involving submission of a Band Council Resolution consenting to the permit and detailed planning documents, including environmental impact assessments. “To ensure waterways are protected, the planning documents are forwarded to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for review,” she says.
former Cowichan school trustee is unimpressed by the province’s decision to cancel a planned election this fall to replace our fired board of education. Duncan Brown, a member of the board that was dismissed in June of 2012 for failing to pass a balanced budget, believes the real issue is the fact a byelection was not held a long time ago. “There should have been a byelection called as soon as we were released,” said Brown. “Every other district in the province, when a board has been dismissed, they called an immediate byelection within 60 days, or at least a couple of months.” Brown said the reason was clearly politics. “(Then-education minister) Duncan Brown: George Abbott at the time said he 60 days would not call a byelection because he was afraid the same people would be elected,” said Brown. “In other words, the people of the Cowichan Valley did not get to vote because they would not vote the right way—in a nutshell that’s what he said.” Current Education Minister Peter Fassbender revealed late last month in an interview with the Victoria Times Colonist that a new nine-member board will be elected during B.C.’s scheduled 2014 civic vote. The province states the decision could save taxpayers $100,000. Brown disagrees. “I don’t believe it costs anywhere near $100,000 to run an election for the school board,” said Brown. “Democracy isn’t cheap, but it isn’t near $100,000.” Fassbender’s decision flipped an earlier ruling that put appointed trustee Mike McKay in charge of School District 79 until an election this fall. McKay, the superintendent of the Surrey School District is now expected to continue in his current role until next fall. Since his appointment McKay has overseen a major restructuring of Cowichan schools, closing some facilities and transforming the mandate of many others. Brown is not impressed. “He is a representative of the ministry, not a representative of our valley, so in that way I would say he is representing the interests of the ministry quite well,” he said. “I do not believe he is representing the interests of the students, and parents of the Cowichan Valley.” That echoes his feelings about the ministry of education in general. “They look at the saving, but they don’t look at the costs—to make a long story short.”

Also accomplished was the adaptation of other washrooms with steep stools to accommodate smaller children; replacing some lockers with coat hooks and bulletin boards; installation new swing sets and play structures; and converting a computer lab into a daycare. George Bonner and Ecole Mount Prevost are the largest elementary schools in the district with 465 and 430 students, respectively. “Parents have been blown away by the facility,’’ said Chris Clark, principal of George Bonner, in a press release. “They really like the beautiful school site, the impressive facade at the front of the school and features like the large gym. “Students are enjoying the modern, clean and spacious building, especially
the atrium and courtyard area.’’ The new playground is also a big hit, he said, and state-of-the-art athletic facilities are allowing for the creation of many sports opportunities. At Ecole Mount Prevost, principal Pedro Mengual is equally positive about the changes. “Students like the new space and enjoy the wide hallways and nice ambience,’’ he said in a press release. “There are also dedicated music and art rooms to more fully support our successful programs. But more than building specifics, the students now feel more united as a school as we are all in one building. “Even the process of moving engaged our school community and created a rich environment where we all pulled together.’’

“He then picks him up by the scruff and flings him over the road and into the ditch,” said Davies. Harrison pleaded notguilty in Duncan provincial court May 28 against three separate charges in connection with the beating of the terrier-bulldog. The 26-year-old suspect is facing charges of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm (as a result of an alleged altercation at the scene) criminal harassment and causing an animal to continue to be in distress. Harrison’s trial date is set for Oct. 15. If convicted of the animal cruelty charge, he could face up to two years jail time and a fine of up to $75,000.

ake Cowichan resident Wayne Atkinson welcomed the news that Ministry of Transportation crews had installed overhead lighting at a pair Youbou Road crossings in recent weeks. New lights were erected above crosswalks at Beaver Road and at Neva Road where Atkinson’s commonlaw wife, Sandra Dempsey, died last summer. Dempsey, 48, was crossing Youbou Road on the night of Aug. 4, 2012, with a neighbour’s dog in tow when she was struck and killed by a motorcycle driven by Arthur Barnard. Barnard, 60, also died in the accident, but his passenger — an unidentified 49-year-old woman — survived. Atkinson referred to the new lights as “the one good thing to come out of a bad tragedy.” “The (Neva Road) crosswalk was unmarked and it wasn’t painted,” Atkinson explained. “I kept on complaining to the Ministry and finally something’s getting done. That makes it a little bit safer for everybody. Unfortunately, two people had to die in order to get this done, but it’s getting done now.” Atkinson said the new lights were “absolutely” welcome, especially now that summer’s giving way to fall, bringing with it the damp, dark days of winter. He’s narrowly escaped being hit on more than one occasion, he said, and he’s witnessed dozens of close calls on this section of road in the past year alone. “I’ve almost been run over once or twice,” Atkinson added. “My girlfriend, she’s almost been hit once or twice, and my roommate, too. It’s a welcome change, for sure. A lot of people use both crosswalks and the

Plus, a lot of kids use it coming back and forth from school.” Weather permitting, the new lights were to be installed and operational by the first week of September, wrote MoT representative Kate Trotter. This “safety enhancement project” cost the MoT $42,000, an investment proven to be “effective in reducing nighttime crashes,” Trotter explained. Trotter made no specific mention of the deaths of Dempsey and Barnard when outlining the MoT’s motives for installing the lights. Instead, she stated “the safety of the travelling public is always a top priority for the ministry.” “The ministry has an ongoing practice of reviewing intersection safety and undertakes upgrades as required to ensure continued safety of road users,” Trotter added.

The foot tour will help guide council’s looming November decisions about the exact route, plus costs, of an upgraded, controversial road across Maple Bay Peninsula — and through municipal forest lands some folks want saved as parkland. “Cowichan Tribes were invited, but no one is taking part. It’s unfortunate and odd,” said Koury, who’s not on the committee.

Looming Village Square mall’s pledge: shopping in Chemainus for Chemainiacs
& auto service
October opening: Geothermal heating one of prominent features of Village Square Mall
Tyson Jones
News Leader Pictorial
C
onstruction work on the Chemainus Village Square Mall is on schedule, and stores are set to open by the beginning of October, said Ian Spurling, one of the project owners. Construction on the 65,000-square foot centre began in June 2012. Several businesses are set to move into the new centre, and space is available for several more companies to lease. “Currently, we have the 49th Parallel shopping centre, a Pharmasave, a liquor store, and Island Savings,” said John Kelly, the marketing manager for GeoTility Geothermal heating systems Vancouver Island. “The remainder of the space — approximately 25,000 square feet — is for leases, so we are going to have local companies in there.” The Island Savings is not set to open until January 2014 said
Spurling. The complex is being built as a shopping centre for locals, but Spurling would like it to be more than that. “We have lots of opportunities for bistros, coffee shops, and that kind of thing,” he said. “I’d love to see an art gallery go in to help with tourist numbers.” One aspect of the shopping centre that varies greatly from a traditional commercial space is the way that it’s heated — with geothermal energy. “Traditionally, commercial spaces are heated with gas, electric heat pumps, boilers, or a combination,” said Kelly. “ The difference with geothermal is it uses the Earth’s energy to draw warmth from the Earth for heating, and when air conditioning is needed for the summer, it puts the warmth from the building back into the earth.” There’re several advantages to using geothermal technologies, which is something that has been around for quite a while, but is only now becoming a more af-
fordable option for commercial spaces, and private homes. “The advantages to geothermal are you save money because you’re burning no fossil fuels, so there’s savings there,” said Kelly. “Depending on the uses the savings can vary, but generally a user will save between 50 to 70 per cent of traditional heating costs.” Along with savings by storeowners, there is also a great environmental advantage to using geothermal heating. “There is no adverse reaction for the environment,” says Kelly. “Greenhouse gasses go to zero, so there’re big advantages environmentally.” One of the five buildings that comprise the centre isn’t completed. The date for its completion was uncertain, but residents of Chemainus will be able to enjoy the rest by October. “I hope the local community is pleased with the final product,” n said Spurling. “We have Olots ur Owof r e o fl green space, and amenity li w Causpace — the landscaping will really be something to talk about.”

Your Veterinarian... your other Family Doctor Roundworm Dangers
Gillian Wiley Veterinarian
The larval form of the common roundworms of dogs, cats and raccoons produce a syndrome in humans called larval migrans. This is the prolonged migration and persistence of larvae in internal organs
and tissue. The worst damage can be to the eyes and brain. The larvae of the raccoon roundworm are particularly deadly. They can cause brain damage and death. Young children are at the greatest risk of infection because they play in and eat dirt. They can ingest the eggs which hatch in
the gut to the larval form which then begin the tissue migration stage. Prevention of human infection consists of deworming household pets on a regular basis, discouraging raccoon visits, covering sandboxes when not in use, regular cleanup of feces, hand washing after play and before eating.

Let’s literally put some words into action Big book sale: good reads for a good cause
A
ction may be what ultimately gets things done, but words are still wonderful things. Words have power. You know that, or you wouldn’t be reading. Black ink on a white page is a spark that lights the engines of a mind. It fires the flames of ambition, desire, creativity, reflection, judgement and change — all of those dangerous qualities that cause individuals and societies to progress. Words make the mind move — to exotic locales and experiences, to the limits of our imaginations. And, on Saturday, words have the Saturday power to make a difference for the event set to good folks at Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association and other worthhelp CTRA while valley charities. and others You know CTRA, the acclaimed organization operating out of Providence Farm for the benefit of the physically and mentally challenged. The thrill of riding and the bond with their mount gives children and adults alike an opportunity to enjoy sport and recreation in a way that would be otherwise denied them. The words coming to their aid are printed on the thousands of used books available at the News Leader Pictorial’s annual Big Book Sale. Fiction and non-fiction, hardcover and soft, big and small: these books are for sale with the proceeds this year going to CTRA and the beneficiaries of our annual Pennies For Presents fund. In its first three years, the book sale has raised $17,000. This year’s — featuring a barbecue from Original Joe’s, music and a bouncy castle for the kids — promises to be the biggest yet. Stop our complex, off the highway just south of the silver bridge, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Help us turn words into action.

Remember why credit unions were formed? Remember how they were supposed to be an alternative to the cold, remote and impersonal big banks?

When do they become so big they lose their ability to meet that goal?

Somenos development threat must be stopped Paul Fletcher
News Leader Pictorial
I
f it weren’t for forward-thinking individuals, New York’s Central Park and Vancouver’s Stanley Park would not exist today. To suggest removing even the smallest slice from either would be political suicide. This past spring the Municipality of North Cowichan announced its intention to remove a piece of public property from our Stanley Park, the Somenos Marsh Conservation Area. The process to exclude this property from the SMCA, as well as the Agricultural Land Reserve, started before any public announcement was made and before any discussion was had with North Cowichan’s political partners in the flooding process. North Cowichan argues the property now sits on the ‘dry’ side of the new dike, no longer has any ‘ecological value’ and that the ALR additions promised mitigate the loss of ALR land in Somenos.
The Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society counters the land is part of the Somenos Marsh ecosystem, has significant ecosystem service values that outweigh any development values and the ALR additions do not reflect real agricultural land gains. The public, as seen through many letters and comments on social media, and at the single open house, believes the property should remain part of the SMCA and that there are better places to develop. The SMWS believes developing North Cowichan’s parcel of land is just the preliminary for much larger-scale developments in close proximity to Somenos Marsh. The new University Village public process for example, started after the ALR removal applications were in place. Planning is already finished for Beverly Street infrastructure work. Recognizing the new dike has conveniently made many of the taxpayer-owned Beverly Street properties more developable, albeit still within the floodplain, one needs to ask “Could there be a plan that the commu-
If you want your local credit union to be an effective alternative to the corporate fat cats you have to give it the weapons. And one of the weapons lacking in the small credit union arsenal is strength in numbers. A merger does not change the credit union philosophy, it merely spreads it across more members and provides more stability and security. What’s wrong with that?

One is the North Cowichan property now slated for a new police station. The second is the Fun Pacific Golf Driving Range. It too has asked for ALR removal yet again, coincidentally at the same time as the North Cowichan application. Fun Pacific is already zoned commercial so it is only a short step to further development. The third site is School District 79’s administration and maintenance complex facing Beverly Street. SD79 has announced plans to move and sell, and the University Village planning area includes this property within its boundaries. What’s its future? To encourage support for ALR exclusion, North Cowichan is offering protection of the SMCA through conservation area zoning, as well as a look at invasive species management and some type of stormwater management
around the proposed police station. Prohibitively expensive and potentially beyond the scope of North Cowichan, the promise of wetland creation will not mitigate the large stormwater flows that drain into this area from urban areas. The SMWS believes it has a better approach to flooding and development issues in the area. Members will be presenting their case at the Sept. 27 Development and Diking Issues in Somenos Marsh public forum at the Cowichan Theatre. SMWS is convinced the public will attend in force to demonstrate its support for an untouched and protected Somenos Marsh.

New school start times just aren’t working for families
Portable cleaner than some teen’s bedrooms
Dear editor As a Frances Kelsey Secondary School parent, I am disappointed with your Sept. 6 article that leaves a negative impression about the condition of the school and invokes fear in our parents. I have been into the portable complex that was reported on, and I found it to be clean and well-equipped for student learning. In fact, I would have to say it is much cleaner than most teenagers’ bedrooms. As parents we must put aside our fears and realize our children can embrace change. We must allow the administration, teachers and support staff of our children’s schools to get back to their primary focus: student learning. Brenda Wilson
In my opinion: Who’s watching the kids?
N
ow that the changes in School District 79 are actually here, the amount of people they will affect is going to be incredibly high, and not in great way. For example, all the teenagers in the valley now attend school for approximately one hour Shawnigan Lake after the elementary kids.

Great Lake Walk cancellation leaves a void

Walk-out: Participants hoping 56-kilometre ultramarathon event will be back next year Nick Bekolay

ight-year-old Alex Sawatzky would have participated in the Great Lake Walk for his very first time this year, making him both the youngest and most disenchanted member of Team Hoola-gns. Alex had planned to walk the Walk as a member of a tropically-themed relay team pieced together by his mother, Amanda Sawatzky, and fellow staffers from Cowichan Lake Community Services. “There were seven of us altogether,” Amanda said. “We were going to form our team, called the Hoola-gns, partly because we were going to wear grass skirts, decorate our van up in a tropicaltheme, and wear the really cool tie-dyed shirts we’d made. We were going to go loud and big.” Relay teams were first introduced to the GLW this year as a means of boosting registration, and a team approach to the trek would have provided young

walkers like Alex with “a perfect opportunity” to participate, explained Amanda. “If his little body couldn’t handle it, he could let his team take over,” Amanda added. “So for him, it was probably most disappointing.” Amanda, meanwhile, understands why dwindling participation led to the Walk’s cancellation. Amanda participated in the GLW in 2010, she said, completing her solo circuit of the lake in “just over 10 hours.” As she rounded the lake on her pilgrimage, Amanda came to realize that the Walk’s success hinges entirely on the Herculean efforts of vol-
unteers. “I was astounded by the rest stops and the organization of the Walk itself, and just how important it was as a walker to have that,” Amanda explained. “I had never really thought it through before, but when you’re digging the bottom of the barrel at points, thinking ‘I’ve just got to keep going,’ and then you hit this rest stop and everyone was so supportive and cheerful. It was nice to know that you had that to look forward to.” Having an appreciation for the sheer manpower required to run an event like the GLW, Amanda conceded that “there has to be (enough) walkers registered to justify that.” Having aspired to participate in the GLW ever since his mother completed it, young Alex is crossing his finger in hopes it will return for 2014. “For him, it was a bit more of a disappointment because it would have been his first time,” Amanda explained. “Hopefully next year he will be able to be a part of it again.”

The type of entity in which you choose to do business can have a significant impact upon you and your business. There are a number of ways you can do business including sole proprietorship, partnership and as a limited company (incorporation). In Proprietorship: proprietorships, you are the business and the business is you. Even though a trade name may be registered for the business, the business is not separate from you. Proprietorships are relatively inexpensive to create and maintain, but they suffer from several disadvantages, including inflexibility and unlimited liability (meaning you are personally responsible for all of the debts and liabilities of the business). This Partnership: form of business organization consists of two or more persons doing business in common. Sometimes the parties have a written partnership agreement. Partnership suffers from several disadvantages, including the fact that each partner is liable for the acts of his or her fellow partners and that each partner has unlimited liability (discussed above).

An unexpected source of tourism during the summer has come from Alberta. “Alberta with the floods was major to our benefits,’’ said Nagel. “We’ve had a lot of Albertans. Their weather hasn’t been great. “Our European visitors, our visitors from Alberta are up. The sunshine has brought some additional visitors. We’re seeing more visitors from activities like whale-watching, kayaking, totem tours.’’

Germany and Switzerland residents are the most common European visitors. Kirsty Grant, who was hired in the spring as Visitor Services Coordinator, added there have also been quite a few Quebec residents and people of French origin visiting as well as one family from Israel. “We’ve had a vast array of visitors in the summer,’’ she said.

un and SunFest helped boost tourism numbers in the region after a slow start to the season. Once what turned out to be a prolonged period of sunshine started in early July, the visitors also began to flock to the Warm Land. “2013 is on target and exceeding our expectations, primarily international visitors,’’ said Sonja Nagel, executive director of the Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce. The numbers really spiked during the SunFest country music festival on the B.C. Day long weekend. “We did better with SunFest at the visitor centre,’’ said Nagel. “Their numbers were through the roof.’’ More than 15,000 people attended the concert over four days.

In September 1954, trustees prepared a building bylaw to submit to the province for approval after ward-elected trustees lobbied for construction of much needed schools in their own areas. Trustee George Bonner, Cobble Hill, asked for an eight or 10-room junior-senior high school for the south. However, when Bonner spoke for small elementary school units, Trustee Don Campbell was quick to respond. “The department (of education) will not, I am sure, stand for a willy-nilly program of building one-room schools up and down the district.” Eventually, trustees agreed on six new schools and a sports track and fence on the grounds of the three-year-old Cowichan High School. Also included in the bylaw were new three-room schools for Sahtlam and Somenos; Koksilah and Glenora, tworoomed buildings; one-room additions to Mill Bay, Bay View and Crofton; and remodelling of Sylvania. If approved by the provincial government, the bylaw would go to referendum.

Scott surprised you again, didn’t he? There will be a Celebration of Life at the property in Chemainus on Saturday, Sept. 21, 1-4 p.m. at 3137 Henry Road. Drive past the house and go through the large main gate. Dress casual and have a great afternoon. It would be nice if everyone who comes bring some good stories that made us laugh so hard together. Please bring photos and written stories to leave with the family so April, Sacha and Jordan
can have those memories in the years ahead. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation, to North Cowichan for its ever increasing debts on behalf of Scott Baker.
Memories that last Over the past few days, family and friends of Scott Baker have gathered around the table in their home where most of Scott’s business was done when he wasn’t on the road at some far-flung place. The phones have barely stopped ringing as people called to offer their condolences and to remember the special way in which Scott touched their lives. Many people had similar thoughts as they remembered Scott. He was very loyal. If you were his friend, he was always going to be there for you. You could count on him. You could confide in him. He was like the brother his friends never had. Those who worked with Scott called him a ‘genius’ when it came to problem solving, fixing things and overcoming obstacles. Scott was a problem solver with machinery and in life. He was a real McGyver and could get out of any fix. He could fix anything. He was a true Renaissance man. He could turn his hand to any task. He was confident and fearless. He could do almost anything. He was also a natural leader, not a follower. He ran for Mayor because of his frustrations with the municipality. He wasn’t one to just complain. He had to do something about it. He wasn’t content to just sit. He had to act. Everyone remembers Scott’s humour. He was the original ‘wild and crazy guy’. He was a practical joker and didn’t mind at all if the joke was on him. Scott was a fun guy to spend time with, always full of life. “We all lived vicariously through him,” said a friend. Another said: “I will always think: “What would Scott do’ in a situation? Scott was so down to earth. He liked working and wasn’t too good to fix a fence or chase a pig. He never felt he was better than someone else. He was never pretentious.
The love Scott had for his family – April, Jordan, and Sacha – drove him to pure genius. He worked day and night to give them everything they could possibly want and then some.
Family was always at the centre of Scott’s world. He adored his son, daughter and April and was always talking about the kids.
Scott Baker October 15, 1965 – Kentville, Nova Scotia September 8, 2013 – Chemainus, BC Scott had a huge heart and in his death, he made the ultimate donation, giving his organs in order to give life to five other people. Scott left behind his beloved wife, April Miller, and children Jordan Miller and Sacha Baker. He is also survived by his mother Barbara George and father Keith Baker; his sisters Tamara Wambolt and Lisa Gosselin, nieces, nephews, cousins and a large circle of close friends including Brad, Bruce and all the others… you know who you are.

Ferguson and King breathe new life into fundraising event
Heavy load: Firefighting gear will be a burden for 5K MD walk in Nanaimo, but dynamic duo determined to complete it

hen Cam Ferguson and his sister take on a challenge, they aren’t simply full of hot air. The Cowichan Bay Fire Rescue deputy chief and sister Cathy King are putting their mouths where their money is. What began as a friendly sibling challenge has escalated into a full-blown fundraiser for a worthy cause. They’ll both be walking five kilometres in full firefighter gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus, as the premise of a fundraising promise during the Nanaimo Safeway Walk for Muscular Dystrophy Sept. 28. Ferguson made a pledge over social media that he would do the walk in full firefighter gear if he raised $1,000, wearing breathing apparatus if the total

reached $1,500 and breathing only the air on his back if he hit the $2,000 mark. King got into the act and pledged to do the same. The only difference is she’s not a firefighter. Only two weeks before the event, they’re sitting neckand-neck in the fundraising. Current totals mean both will at least be wearing full firefighter gear and a self-contained breathing apparatus. King’s making a push to win the competition and will also be breathing from the tanks if she has her way. King is going about her fundraising slightly differently by collecting bottles while Ferguson sticks to the social media route. The event takes place at Nanaimo’s Maffeo Sutton Park from noon to 3 p.m. Sept. 28 with a barbecue, entertainment and two firefighters going above and beyond the call of duty to support those affected by neuromuscular disorders.

is song, Sonny’s Dream, is an East Coast music legend. His battle back from throat cancer is a triumphant feel-good story. And the guitar he’s bringing to Duncan is a signature Dreadnought model built in his honour by Dragon’s Den winners MacKenzie and Marr. Ron Hynes will be sporting all three when he hits the Duncan Garage Showroom stage next Thursday and Friday nights. A Hynes show is certainly an experience that made an impact on John Prine’s guitarist Jason Wilber. “Watching Picasso is a song I wrote about seeing a Canadian singer-songwriter named Ron Hynes

someone new like that. Of course, he was only new to me. In Canada he was well-known. I walked back to my hotel room that night and was so inspired by the experience that I tried to put it down in a song.” He may have been new to Wilber, but that’s not because of a thin resume. From Hynes’ website bio: “With a songwriting career that spans more than 30 years, Ron Hynes is a six-time East Coast Music Award winner, a Genie Award winner and a past Juno, CCMA and Canadian Folk Music Awards nominee. He’s been recipient of both Artist of The Year and the prestigious Arts Achievement Award from the Newfoundland & Labrador Arts Council, as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award from the St. John’s Folk Arts Council. “Ron Hynes also holds an honourary PhD from Memorial University for his songwriting and contribution to the cultural life of his beloved home province of Newfoundland.” Hynes returns to the Showroom at 8 p.m. on Sept. 19 and 20. Tickets are $27 advance, $30 at door.

are, envisioning how they should be. Nolan effectively used lighting, offstage voices and simple sets — a kitchen table, a lectern, and a Parliamentary podium — to wage war. The play was cleverly threaded with Tommy’s quotes handpicked by Nolan for maximum impact about a simple man with a simple plan — undeterred by greed. “The root of evil is the love of money,” said Tommy.

D
id you know that our bodies contain about 10 trillion human cells. Coexisting with these cells are bacterial cells numbering 100 trillion. These bacterial cells are called the “microbiome” of the body and play important roles in digestion, skin health and our immune system. Bacteria aren’t all bad. The total fertility rate in Canada in 2011 was 1.61. This the average number of children per woman. The lowest rate was in B.C. at 1.42 while the highest was in Nunavut at 2.97. Drug researchers are still looking to nature to find ways to treat common diseases. Gout for example affects about 2% of Canadians over the age of 50. The humble cherry might be a source of relief. There is something in cherries that helps decrease the amount of uric acid in the body. Uric acid build-up is associated with the pain and swelling well-known to those with gout. Electronic cigarettes have not been OK’d for sale in Canada. They vapourize pure nicotine to satisfy the smoker’s urge for the nicotine high. However, there is no evidence of the long term safety of inhaling nicotine and the risk of addiction is always a possibility. For now, those wanting to stop smoking can use other forms of nicotine replacement. Our pharmacists can help.
Our pharmacists will be happy to talk to you about smoking cessation. As well as having the will to quit and a way of replacing the nicotine you won’t be getting from smoking, good counseling is also really important. We can help.

Actor finds deep personal connection to A Pretty Girl A story of survival: One decision changes the course of a family’s life forever in latest from Chemainus
Lindsay Chung
News Leader Pictorial
W
innipeg-based actor Harry Nelken says he felt a magnetic pull to A Pretty Girl — A Shayna Maidel, the latest production at the Chemainus Theatre Festival. Partly, it was the connections he saw with his own family, and partly it was the play’s messages about family, love and survival. In A Pretty Girl, written in 1986 by Barbara Lebow, the consequences of one innocent decision changes the course of a family’s life forever. The theatre presents the story as this: “After many years of separation, Polish sisters Lusia Pechenik and Rayzel (Rose) Weiss have reunited in a collision of vastly different worlds. Amid the chaos of becoming reacquainted, each girl struggles to honour her past and live for the future.” The story begins 20 years after scarlet fever, the Depression, and the Second World War divided their family between Holocaustseized Poland and sheltered New York. Meeting now as grownups in mid-century Manhattan, they share little in common beyond their fragile bloodline. As sudden roommates, strongwilled Lusia (Luisa Jojic) and selfish Rose (Susan Coodin) endeavour to rise above their obvious differences by confronting unexpected family truths, revealing scars of their past, and dealing with their domineering father’s relentless guilt, states the release. Nelken plays Mordechai, the girls’ “blustery and imperious father.” While checking the websites of various theatre companies looking for work, Nelken came across A Pretty Girl on the Chemainus Theatre’s website. “It had an enormous impact on me because of personal connections

There are some deep insights I got about my parents that I didn’t get from them. “I think the magnet pull for me was that it was a wonderful gift and a chance to get to know my parents better from their pre-Canada days and what it meant for them to lose everything and come here and start over. There are a lot of personal resonances.” Nelken feels the play is all about

survival, and about flesh and blood. “It’s all about relationships, abandonment, betrayal, deep hurt and that’s kind of balanced with the more positive human emotions of re-connecting,” he said. “There are moments in the play that kind of hit me, and I’m sure the audience will feel things too. It’s just a story about family and the impasses and what’s needed to break those down and become a family again. “It’s a long, hard road, but the affirmation of life is what shines through in this play. You never give up.” Nelken feels the opportunity to act
in A Pretty Girl is a gift, and he is eager to share that gift with his family, many of whom will get a chance to see the play. This is Nelken’s second production with the Chemainus Theatre Festival. In the spring of 2010, he played Al Lewis in The Sunshine Boys. Nelken says that was a fantastic experience, and during his time here, he got his parrot, Baby Mischief, from Sooke. “We take her everywhere we go, and she’s here again,” he said. Nelken thanks Chemainus Theatre artistic director Mark DuMez and

In loving Memory of
GETZ, Kathleen Theresa It is with deep sadness that the family of Kathleen Getz (nÊe Brown) announces her passing on September 2nd, 2013 at the Royal Jubilee Hospital. Deeply beloved by her children and their spouses Russell (Colleen) Getz, Brenda (Arthur) Blackwell and her grandchildren Andrew, Erin, Jennifer and Alan, and predeceased by her beloved husband, John. Kathleen was born in Duncan, BC, on February 3rd, 1921. She was educated at local schools and at St. Ann’s Academy in Victoria, after which she worked in the office of the BC Government Agent in Duncan. After John’s service in the RCAF in the Second World War, Kathleen and John made their home and raised their family in Duncan until they moved to Victoria in 1992. They enjoyed an extraordinarily happy and prosperous life, filled with family, church and community activities. Throughout her life, Kathleen’s family was her supreme joy and pride. She was a wonderful mother and wife, an accomplished homemaker, and a warm and gracious hostess. In addition, Kathleen was a highly successful businesswoman, managing Getz’s Ladies Wear and working with John in Petters and Getz Contracting. Kathleen had a profound faith which animated every aspect of her life and informed her renowned kindness. Kathleen was, above all, a person of character, wisdom and compassion who will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her family wishes to thank Kathleen’s caregivers, the staff of the Kensington Retirement Community and the doctors and nurses of the Royal Jubilee Hospital for their wonderful care. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm, Saturday, September 14th at Holy Cross Church, 4049 Gordon Head Road, Victoria. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Kathleen’s name to the Lung Association of British Columbia.

It’s been three years since you passed away. Seems like yesterday we saw you last. You were taken from us way too soon. But now you’re our guardian angel, watching over us, soaring above the moon. You live on in our memories and in our hearts. We miss you oh so very much. Love you always and forever, Lewis, Joell, Brian, James, Madisen, and Delaney.
LITTLE, Robert (Robbie) Gordon April 1, 1949 – September 4, 2013 It is with love and deepest sadness that the family of Rob Little wishes to announce his passing. Rob passed away peacefully on September 4, 2013, surrounded by his loved ones following a brief and brave two-month battle with cancer. During his battle and even through terrible pain Rob’s wonderful sense of humour and inner strength did not waiver. His cheerful nature shone through as he enjoyed his visits with family and friends. Rob is predeceased by his parents, Gordon and Ruth Little (nee Murphy). He is survived by his loving wife of 17 years, Teresa, his children Ryan Little and Jennifer McAllister, mother of his children Barb Hilborn (Howard), sister Donalea Baldwin (Ron), nieces Shanon Baldwin and Renee Farquhar (Bruce), stepdaughters Maria Haagerup (Rene) and Maxine Scott (Steve) and 7 wonderful grandchildren. Rob was born in Vancouver and moved to Crofton when he was 15, making it his lifelong home. He started working at the Crofton Mill in 1975 where he met many of his closest friends. Rob lived life to the fullest enjoying baseball, boating, traveling, dancing and his favourite pastime, riding his many motor bikes. Rob was always the life of the party, enjoying them right until final call. He had a mathematical mind, playing a mean game of cards and always winning at Scrabble. Rob will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. From Crofton to Mexico (his favourite place) to England and the US, Rob touched the lives of all who had the pleasure of knowing and loving this warm, wonderful, gentle, fun and loving man. We wish to thank Dr. Manny Fritsch for his compassion and care during his difficult struggle, and all the wonderful nurses at CDH and CHCC who brought him comfort and relief. A special thanks to this niece Renee who nursed him through out, her love for him was a shining light. Thank you all for being so kind and loving. The family will receive friends and family for a celebration of Rob’s life on Sunday, September 15th from 2 – 5 pm at 7588 Babine Place, Crofton. Rob, although you have parted from us, know that you will never be far from our thoughts and forever in our hearts.

BLAINE Hal Lee May 26, 1956 - Sept 07, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our father, grandfather and friend to many, Hal Blaine on Sept 07/2013 at the Cowichan District Hospital with his family by his side. Predeceased by his parents, John and Melva Blaine. He leaves behind his children, John (Kari), Rob, Natasha (Brian), grandchildren, Brayden, Austin, Dylan and one soon to be, his brothers and sisters, mother of his children, Irene, many sister and brother in laws, nieces and nephews. Hal was born in Pittsburg, California and moved to the Cowichan Valley with his family in 1968. He started a family of his own in Crofton where he volunteered with the Crofton Fire Department for many years. In 1988, Hal and his family moved to Sahtlam. Hal worked many years in the glass industry, but in recent years he made a career change to a Cowichan Valley transit driver, where he enjoyed the interaction with his coworkers and passengers on a daily basis. Hal also really enjoyed being the caretaker at the Cowichan Exhibition Grounds where he resided. Dad had a busy life and worked very hard to provide for his family. When he wasn’t working, he enjoyed spending time with his family and telling the occasional joke. Dad had many talents, from building a dirt bike from a box of parts to teaching a dog to talk, as well as he could fix just about anything. He will be deeply missed by all family and friends. Our family would like to thank the ER staff and 2nd floor nurses at the Cowichan District Hospital. A Celebration of Life will be held for Hal at Mellor Hall, Cowichan Exhibition Grounds on Saturday, Oct 12/2013 from 11:30-3:30pm. “Always in our thoughts, Forever in our hearts.�

Testing, testing: Four girls reach the pinnacle with Gold credentials and begin seeking more Don Bodger

hey’re the Golden Girls of the Fuller Lake Figure Skating Club. Four club members have passed Gold tests in the last two seasons. “We’re kind of more of a competitive club, the higher test club,’’ said Fuller Lake coach Shannon McKinlay. “For a small town, it’s a pretty good accomplishment to get these Gold tests. As a club, we’re proud of the discipline and hard work they’ve put into the sport.’’ Marina Ellison, a Grade 10 student at Frances Kelsey Secondary, has her Gold Skills and Gold Freestyle. “That’s the most difficult one to get because of the jump levels,’’ Ellison said of the latter. More Gold is being detected by Ellison. “I’m going for Gold Dances,’’ she said. “I have three dances left in the Gold category. “And we’re going to start a Gold Interpretive soon.’’ Riley Buckner turned 14 on May 14 and attends Grade 9 at Chemainus Secondary School. She has her Gold Interpretive and Gold Skills.
“My goal is to pass Gold Freeskate and Gold Dance as well,’’ said Buckner. “I hope to get both of them this season. “I’ve just got to work at it. I took six months off the ice.’’ With school courses becoming more demanding, Buckner thought about packing it in. “I’m glad I didn’t,’’ she said. Buckner will be cutting back, but “I’m still going to be competing,’’ she said. Sarah Kedves, 13, a Grade 8 student at Ladysmith Secondary School, passed her Gold Skills test at the end of last season. She’s starting a new season after a minimal break. “I got two weeks off,’’ Kedves said. Part of the reason has been her foray into pairs skating with Lucas Pollard of Nanaimo. “I’m going to Western Challenge for pairs and I might go to nationals for pairs,’’ said Kedves. “That’s just a might.’’ Like Kedves, Grade 9 Ladysmith Secondary School student Amber Ree, who turns 14 on Nov. 22, attained her Gold Skills at the end of last season. Ree is just getting back into the skating season in the last week and said she will “probably take some time’’ before reaching her next Gold level, likely in Interpretive.

Four girls from Fuller Lake possess Gold test qualifications, including, left, Marina Ellison, Sarah Kedves and Riley Buckner and, above, Amber Ree. Coach Shannon McKinlay is looking forward to another productive season, but “we’d love to get more (skaters),’’ she said. The club has another ice show this season in March.

Kay knows only one way to play every day
It’s all in the wrist action for golfers
All-out efforts: Carding a big reward for Duncan rugby player Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
P
atrick Kay turns 20 next week on Sept. 19 and hasn’t even approached his prime time as a rugby player. The sky’s clearly the limit for the Cowichan rugby star and the News Leader Pictorial’s Youth Athlete of the Year from 2010. Kay has been virtually going non-stop during 2013 playing sevens and full XV rugby at home and abroad. The UVic student is clearly one of the top players at his age level in the country. “Starting from last summer, it just keeps getting better,’’ he said. “I’m not going down. I’m going up.’’ Rugby Canada recently announced Kay has been named one of its carded athletes to live and train in Langford with the support of Sport Canada’s Athlete Assistance Program and Own the Podium. This is an important step for Canada’s national rugby players preparing for the debut of rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. “You get nominated for it,’’ said Kay. “It helps a lot with some funding. It’s more time for training.’’ Kay completed the previous rugby season in the spring with the UVic Vikes in the B.C. Premier Rugby League. “For 15s, we had an all right season, better than the year before,’’ he said. “This year, we should be even better than last year.’’ But that was just a small part of a big year for him. Kay played on a UVic team that went to the Las Vegas Invitational Sevens tournament in February and won the college division. The final in the big stadium where the RBC sevens are played was “in front of a big crowd,’’ Kay said. In March, Kay led UVic into the Canadian Interuniversity Sport sevens national tournament in Langford. “We kind of had a home-field advan-
tage,’’ said Kay. “We won that.’’ UVic defeated Western University of Ontario handily in the final. “The year before we lost to them in the final,’’ said Kay. The U20 Canadian national XV team picked Kay as captain, as it went to Chile for the World Trophy tournament. The tournament was preceded by a trip to Minnesota for a pair of tune-up games with the United States that Canada won. The streak continued in the World Trophy tournament with wins over Tonga, Japan and Uruguay before Canada lost in the final to Italy. “This is my third and final year,’’ said Kay of his U20s experience. He’d never been to South America prior to this year but also went to Cali, Colombia with a Canada Selects sevens team for the World Games, a multi-sport event where the Canadians placed third. The B.C. Bears XV team playing in the Canadian Rugby Championships has been the latest venture on the agenda for Kay but he’s not traveling this weekend with the team to Ontario for a game against the Ontario Blues. “I have a shoulder injury so I’m not playing this weekend,’’ he said. Kay said it’s nothing serious. He’s coming off a brilliant performance in a previous 40-18 win over The Rock, a Quebec and Maritimes representative, with 20 kicking points. “I had a pretty good game,’’ conceded Kay. The B.C. Premier League schedule is just getting going again, with Kay also missing the opener Friday against James Bay. Kay’s now in his third year at UVic. “It’s a pretty busy schedule,’’ he said. “Right now, I’m just a part-time student.’’ Kay’s working toward a degree in recreation health education. Through it all, he’s stayed very grounded and the best is certainly yet to come. “There’s a lot coming up I could potentially be selected for,’’ he said. Goals include sevens tours to Australia in October and Dubai in November.

adies’ division members at the Cowichan Golf and Country Club kept hot streaks going through the end of August, even if the weather did turn on them. Aug. 21 conditions were sunny and warm for a Medal, Pin, Spoon Round and none of the players were hotter than Nancy Munro. Munro won her handicap division and also made a chipin for a birdie on No. 7. Christa Robson, Rosemary Branting and Camilla Carson were the other respective handicap division winners. Arlene Lepp and Melinda Spoor had birdies on No. 7 and 9, respectively. Diane Owens (No. 6), Ellen Lyon (No. 8) and Marianne Hunt (No. 15) were the K.P. winners. Andrea Morris made a chip-in on No. 16. Players endured cloudy and wet conditions the following week for a Par Round. Ellen Merriam, Louise Ketilson, Mandy McKelvie and Pat Davis claimed the handicap division titles. A chip-in for a birdie on No. 2 was the highlight for Merriam. McKelvie also made a chipin on No. 8. Jeanne Wilkinson had the K.P. on both No. 8 and 15. Carol Willan and Gloria Claxton were the respective No. 6 and 13 K.P. winners.

hawnigan Lake’s Jed Leech did his very best to keep Canada in contention. Leech, 17, a Grade 12 student at Frances Kelsey Secondary, was on the six-member Canadian water skiing team that took on the mighty United States in the Can-Am Challenge in St. Louis. “It went really good,’’ said Leech. “We all had a good time, the

We were pretty close to beating them this year.’’ Points were awarded for each individual placement by the skiers and then tallied up to determine the overall team scores.

Leech keeps Canada competitive trick for second overall. Leech and Metcalfe trained at the site before the competition. “There was a team camp there where we trained for a week,’’ said Leech. He returned home on Labour Day, just in time to get back to school Tuesday. “I’m pretty excited to start (school) on time this year,’’ Leech said. He’ll be taking a bit of a break from skiing now. “I’ve been skiing pretty hard since December of last year,’’ Leech said.

Coe-Jones being inducted into B.C. Sports hall of Fame thursday
SPoRtS wAtCh
It’s been exactly 10 years since Lake Cowichan golfer Dawn Coe-Jones was inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame. Coe-Jones, who grew up playing at the March Meadows Golf Club in Honeymoon Bay, will be further honoured with an induction into the
B.C. Sports Hall of Fame during the 45th-annual banquet of champions Thursday, Sept. 19 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Coe-Jones played on the Ladies’ Professional Golf Association tour for 25 years and is considered one of the most successful Canadian
female golfers of all time. She won three Tour events and posted more than $3 million in career earnings. Among the others being inducted are: Kevin Alexander (lacrosse), Pat Quinn (hockey), Brent Hayden (swimming), Robert Hindson (rugby) and Peter Reid (triathlon).

Volleyball season brings renewed hope for teams Starting over: DCS tournament the first chance for players to get onto the same page
Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
H
igh school volleyball teams from the valley concentrated on getting organized during the first tournament of
the season. The Duncan Christian Senior Girls and Boys Welcome Back Tournament provided a great chance for new teammates to begin the process of finding cohesion, without worrying too much about results at this stage. Gulf Islands won the six-team girls’ event, with Frances Kelsey finishing second, Chemainus third, Duncan Christian fourth, Lake Cowichan fifth and Cowichan Secondary sixth. Gulf Islands defeated Kelsey 25-8, 28-26 in the conclusion to the Saturday playday. “We had beaten them previously in the day in pool play,’’ said Kelsey coach Mark Jackson. That two-game set was split 25-14, 16-25 but Kelsey prevailed by two points overall. The final was a case of Kelsey
running out of gas, particularly in the first game, before regaining some wind in the second game. “We’re still in the process of forming our team,’’ said Jackson. “We only had six kids. “I was impressed how they looked for their first tournament of the season. As the day wore on, they played eight matches with only six of them — not much left.’’ Lauren Barnes, Emma Aichelberger, Sabrina Barr, Rochelle Reirison, Carly Cameron and Juliet Lyon played their hearts out for the team. Four of them are Grade 12s. Kelsey has five with one other player who wasn’t there plus one Grade 11 and two Grade 10s. “We’re very hopeful of having a solid season, a really great group of kids,’’ said Jackson. “We were pleased to make it to the final in our first tournament when we didn’t know what we had.’’ David Vanderschaaf, who worked with Mary-Joan Visscher last season,
has taken over as coach of the DCS girls with Visscher’s departure to Langley. The DCS girls were second in Pool A and ended up losing a barnburner in the semifinals to Kelsey, 25-20, 28-30, 7-15. “We look fairly strong for having one practice,’’ said Vanderschaaf. “We were also playing without Danielle Groenendijk. She was doing 4H stuff.’’ Sister act Becky and Brenna Bazinet will be team leaders this season along with new setter Lauren King-Nyberg. “I’m working with her a bit extra in the practices just to get her confidence up,’’ Vanderschaaf said of King-Nyberg. In fact, confidence is one of the four Cs Vanderschaaf is looking for the team to be consistent this season. Composure, commitment and concentration are the other elements. Juliet King brings star power to the blocker position for the team.
Vanderschaaf feels he’s wellprepared to steer the girls toward a successful season. “I’ve been working hard all summer,’’ he said. “We had an open gym here all summer long. “Myself, I spend two or three nights a week either watching volleyball videos or planning for the season ahead.’’ Last year’s experience will go a long way toward setting the table for Vanderschaaf. “I got to know the core group of the players,’’ he said. Both Kelsey and DCS are entered in a tournament at Dover Bay this weekend. “That’ll be the first real test,’’ said Vanderschaaf. “I didn’t put too much into the tournament this weekend.’’ The four teams on the boys’ side of the draw played a straight round robin, with Belmont finishing first. Nanaimo District was second, Duncan Christian third and Gulf Islands fourth. Replacing Bennett King-Nyberg, who’s made the Vancouver Island University traveling team this season, as setter has been the biggest chal-
lenge for DCS coach Peter Day. He’s found his man in exchange student Yiyi Yan, who’s learning fast. “He’s gone from never touching a volleyball for the first 16 years of life to being our setter,’’ said Day. “He’s coming along amazingly. We need him to do a job and I think he’s going to do it.’’ Having Team B.C. player Douglas Groenendijk as one of his returning players is a godsend for Day. “He’s playing with confidence,’’ said Day. “We just need to get the ball up in the air to him. It’s a challenge we’re going after.’’ Alan Park and Nick Kapteyn are the other returning players. David McKinlay and Grade 9 players Mike Brandsma and Adam Kapteyn are the other members of the squad, with two other spots still up for grabs. “They’re tall. We have a big team,’’ said Day. “That’s always good for blocking and playing defence.’’ DCS girls and boys are hosting the single-A provincials this season. “I feel quite confident if we continue at this pace, we’ll finish in the top 10 in the province,’’ said Day.
