mproper zoning to treat contaminated soil is being cited by Cowichan directors fighting a provincial permit for dumping and remediating five million tonnes of earth near Shawnigan Lake. Cowichan Valley Regional District’s notice, served Thursday to South Island Aggregates, claims the company’s proposed soil-remediation facility violates zoning on its property, Friday’s news release states. SIA’s property is currently zoned primary forestry, F-1, CVRD staff said. “We have instructed our lawyers to inform SIA the proposed remediation facility and land use is not permitted under the CVRD’s zoning,” said Rob Hutchins, CVRD Chairman.

CVRD resets to battle Shawnigan Lake soil dump on zoning grounds

Will ask court to rule: Regional district says operation not legal under zoning “Consequently, we are in consultation with lawyers about making an application to the B.C. Supreme Court to ask that it rule on the CVRD’s authority to enforce the zoning on the SIA property.” SIA’s F-1 zoning allows gravel extraction from its quarry, where the contaminated soil, from various sources, would be treated, explained Tom Anderson, CVRD’s head of

planning and development. “But we’re saying they need a new zoning allowing such as a (soil) treatment facility.” The CVRD passed a bylaw in around 2000 banning contaminated soil storage anywhere in the regional district, he noted. SIA is also seeking a mines permit to refill its pit as rock quarry reclamation, added Anderson.

“Our next actions will depend on the responses we get from both SIA, and the Environmental Appeal Board,” Hutchins says. The CVRD has also requested an investigation under Section 29 of the Drinking Water Protection Act. “The CVRD has been firm in its opposition to the proposed soil remediation facility, and has taken action to protect residents who depend on potable domestic-water supplies from the Shawnigan Lake watershed,” writes Hutchins. The CVRD estimates more than 12,000 people depend on Shawnigan’s watershed. That includes some 2,700 residents served by CVRD-owned and operated systems drawing directly from the lake, and from wells drilled into aquifers down-slope from SIA’s property, he explains. more on page 3 bchonda.com

Automated waste collectors coming to electoral residents next week

Starting Sept. 23 electoral area residential garbage and recycling will be picked up using an automated, dual compartment collection truck. “Manual collection is being gradually phased out by automated collection due to the signiﬁcant gains in worker safety, routing efﬁciency and increased public satisfaction,” states a CVRD press release. “Communities that have imple-

mented an automated system have experienced increases in recycling rates by as much as 30%, simply because residents are offered more room for recyclable materials.” The automated trucks use mechanical arms that wrap around each tote and tip contents into the truck. About 18,000 new totes are currently being

delivered to homes throughout the CVRD region. Residents are asked to look inside to ﬁnd an informative package containing their new collection schedule and tote user guide. It applies to folks living in Mill Bay, Shawnigan Lake, Cobble Hill, Cowichan Bay, Cowichan Station, Glenora, Sahtlam, Honeymoon Bay, Saltair, North Oyster and Youbou.

oast Environmental opens its doors publicly tomorrow so folks can see the array of stuff they’re recycling and treating in Chemainus’ industrial park. The 2 to 3 p.m. open house and tours include a question period when citizens can ask about the firm’s planned recycling operation — needing Cowichan Valley Regional District permit – to take construction wastes, cardboard, and paper at a half-acre site. “We do the sorting and recycling for you,” said Coast’s Dan Lazaro. “You back in and it’s our job.” That waste facility will complement its others, including North America’s first building-contained kitchen-waste composting operation. Coast’s fuel-contaminated soil remediation facility — B.C.’s first to be totally covered — can also be seen. But perhaps Coast’s most controversial operation is its non-covered, septage transfer station some Chemainiacs — especially workers in nearby businesses — suspect is a source of a sickening stench. “It’s a horrible smell,” said Sam Godkin of Thermoproof. “It fills our whole building, and we can’t get rid of it,” she said of the embarrassing odour greeting customers. “There’s got to be containment.” Lazaro wants that kind of feedback Thursday. “We want to be as odour-tolerable as

Coast Environmental is opening the doors of its Chemainus Industrial Park operation to the public Thursday. possible, so we’d definitely look at (containment),” he said of Coast’s septage transfer facility boasting a bio-filter between trucks and tanks. “We investigate odour complaints. You can never be odour-free, but odour-manageable.” But Lazaro believed his firm gets a bum rap from folks claiming Coast causes the stink. He cited area farmmanure lagoons. “People interpret odours differently.” The problem, said a CVRD agent and North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure, is pinpointing the stench’s source. Some of Coast’s odours come from

composting piles, an email to a local resident from CVRD environmental technologist llse Sarady explains. Coast received, then dealt with, recent CVRD odour warnings concerning an oversize pile, Sarady says. “Regardless of the source or situation, the CVRD agrees no one should have to experience such foul odours for any extended duration.” Lefebure agreed, noting other stench culprits. “We’re pretty sure there’s been some overlap with manure spreading on farms,” he said, adding investigating complaints can sniff for sources.

Peter W. Rusland/file

Given recent stench issues, council amended its zoning bylaws to yank future composting firms from industrial zoning, without applying to council, he said. Still, Janice Gowanlock of nearby Profab called the stink “absolutely atrocious,” demanding Coast be closed or ordered moved. “We don’t have the ability to shut them down,” Lefebure said. “There are no provincial regulations dealing with odour. Objectionable smells would almost be impossible to measure and regulate — it’s very similar to noise issues.”

The CVRD plans to fight the environment ministry’s permit to SIA, through the Environmental Appeal Board. The CVRD aims to claim the ministry didn’t adequately take into account that SIA’s proposal does not comply with CVRD zoning regulations, Hutchins’ release says. The CVRD also plans to apply to the appeal board for a stay to prevent SIA from acting on its permit — basically stopping soil dumping — during the appeal. SIA was issued the permit Aug. 21 by ministry bureaucrat Hubert Bunce, against overwhelming opposition from lake-area residents. The Shawnigan Residents Association has already launched its own appeal of the decision, and requested an appeal board soil-dumping stay. Hutchins says he expects the CVRD and SRA will co-operate so both parties maximize their legal dollars without duplicating efforts. The permit allows SIA to build and run a soil-remediation facility capable of treating up to five million tonnes of contaminated soils, during 50 years, in a quarry off Stebbings Road.

Shears sharpened as Tour de Rock nears Cops for Cancer: Mother and daughter keep head shave tradition alive

Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

melia Rafter-High is pretty tickled about getting a pixie haircut. “I don’t want my hair anymore,” the seven, but soon turning eight-yearold said about donating 20-or-so inches to the Canadian Cancer Society as part of the Tour de Rock campaign. “I just really want to to raise a lot of money for cancer.” The Carlson’s School of Dance student and her mom Sandra High are both donating locks to the cause and having their cuts/shaves done when the Tour de Rock riders make their Duncan, Beverly Corner’s stop Oct. 1. A student at Cowichan’s Vancouver Island University and mother of two, Sandra will be shaving her 20-or-so inches completely off to support her daughter’s decision to have her first hair cut. “Amelia has never had a haircut, trims yes, but cut no, ever,” said Sandra. Both mother and daughter have been affected by many folks diag-

Amelia Rafter-High and her mom Sandra High are donating their long locks to the Cops for Cancer campaign. nosed with cancer. Amelia’s nanners (nana) was diagnosed with breast cancer about four years ago. “Amelia was there for the loss of (her) hair and the choosing of wigs,” said Sandra on the Tour de Rock website. “I was looking at her wig and asked her about it and she took it off and there was nothing there,” said the sparky soccer player.

“She’s been nattering for over a year about getting a pixie cut,” Sandra said. “We just thought we’d do it all up, and get the ball rolling. We’ve always been involved with the Tour de Rock, donated and went to events, but just not quite in this capacity.” Nanners is about two years clear of cancer now, but in the meantime, Amelia’s papa was diagnosed with lung cancer this July and underwent surgery in August. An aunt has also been diagnosed with lung cancer this summer. Last year, Sandra also lost a friend to breast cancer. “She was under 30, and left behind her beautiful daughter,” she explained on the website. Together they’re hoping to raise $2,000. And about 40 inches of hair will be donated to make wigs. In between now and the Duncan Tour de Rock shindig, Amelia and Sandra are hoping to spread donation forms throughout the valley and are also hoping to set up tables at various local locations. They’re both extremely excited about the riders pass through Duncan and events that coincidence. “We’re really making a big to do out of it,” Sandra said. Donations can also be made online at copsforcancerbc.ca.

NLP’s Big Book Sale bigger than ever News Leader Pictorial: Big Book Sale raises about $8,000 for charities

Hundreds of Cowichan bookworms merrily crawled through thousands of titles Saturday during the News Leader Pictorial’s annual charity Big Book Sale that raised more than $8,000. That tally will help the Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association’s programs at Providence Farm — plus other local charities through our perennial Pennies For Presents drive. Office manager Kim Sayer

North Cowichan has got you going in circles Trafﬁc circles: development has been good for the valley, but they aren’t a cure-all

oundabouts are great and local government needs to be applauded for turning to them to create safer, cheaper and more efficient intersections. But the valley — North Cowichan in particular — seems to be rapidly approaching a point where it seems to be going in circles on traffic circle development. Traffic circles have been popping up in the valley on a regular basis since making their debut about a decade ago at Symonds Street and First Avenue in Ladysmith. And it’s pretty hard for anyone Roundabouts who remembers what it was like at that spot before the switch to argue it great, but hasn’t been a big improvement. Same how many do goes for the Beverly and Lakes Road intersection in North Cowichan, and we need? the Henry Road/Chemainus Road intersection in Chemainus. These were spots where traffic back-ups were common and the chances of frustrated drivers and fender-benders seemed to be growing daily. Enter the roundabout and voila: traffic moving smoothly and fender-benders a thing of the past. Not only were the roundabouts safer and more efficient than installing traffic lights, they were cheaper as well. But somewhere along the line local planners seemed to have forgotten that old staple — the stop sign — still has a role in the traffic equation. Roundabouts have started appearing in simple, relatively quiet intersections, like Donnay Drive. If we read North Cowichan’s plans correctly, there will soon be four roundabouts in less than a kilometre along Chemainus Road, including a stretch of three consecutive intersections. Is there really enough traffic flow or potential for accidents to justify this expense?

We say:

The good and the bad of this week in Cowichan This we don’t

This we like

The Cowichan Wine and Culinary Festival is in the books for another year, and we’d like to mark that with a look back, way back. Cast your mind back a decade or two ago, when Cowichan wineries were a ﬂedgling dream and its culinary splendour a virtual secret. Kudos to all those involved in the industry for their efforts in putting Cowichan on the map.

This June waste blaze raised concern but no charges.

Working people discovering co-ops the way to go Robert Douglas

News Leader Pictorial

e live in an age where social and economic inequality is growing to levels not seen in generations, where more power is concentrated in the hands of wealthy investors and foreignowned corporations, and millions of working people are unemployed, underemployed or underpaid. The economy is not working as it should, and this is forcing many of us to explore alternatives. In Canada and the USA, we are witnessing an historic development as labour unions and co-operatives are joining forces to develop new business models that give working people a bigger piece of the pie, democratize and localize the economy, and create decentpaying and stable employment. The United Steelworkers, representing 1.2

million working people in North America, has led the charge, actively promoting employee-owned businesses in a wide range of sectors. They base their model on the Mondragon Corporation, a network of worker-owned businesses in Spain that includes more than 250 co-ops and 84,000 worker-owners. Founded in 1956, the Mondragon co-ops produce computer chips, high tech industrial machinery, household appliances, and many other products — bringing in total annual revenues of almost €15 billion. And while Spain struggles with unemployment levels above 25%, Mondragon’s workforce has remained stable, with laid off workers typically taken on by other companies within the co-operative when times are tough. The United Steelworkers were so impressed with Mondragon that in 2009 they announced a formal partnership and began working together to develop similar models in North America.

The lack of accountability in the case of the late June reserve blaze that smoked out parts of Duncan for a few days is troubling. Basically, it seems like the only repercussion for this illegal burn is that the person responsible is being forced to promise not to do it again, and to promise to haul away the remaining debris. If he fails to keep those promises, we expect he will be asked to promise again.

COWICHAN LEADERS

And they are seeing progress. The United Steelworkers and Mondragon are now in the process of establishing the Pittsburgh Clean and Green Laundry Co-operative, an environmentally friendly and industrial laundry that will employee 100 people, each with equity in the new business. Other unions are promoting the co-op model as well: employee-owned farms that trains young farmers and food production workers, while selling produce, a solar energy company, and a three-acre hydroponic greenhouse. The question is could such models work on Vancouver Island and other parts of Canada? Locally we are already seeing examples of employees buying out companies and running them effectively, and other instances of working people establishing and democratically running their own businesses. Look no further than the Harmac pulp

mill in Nanaimo and the CHEK TV station in Victoria – both of which emerged from dire straits only after their employees assumed ownership. Viridian Energy Co-op, a solar energy company based in Cowichan, provides another excellent example of a successful business owned and managed by its workers. With our economy failing to deliver for so many working people in Cowichan and other communities across North America, now is the time to explore alternatives. And the new model being promoted by our labour unions and co-ops is a great place to start. Rob Douglas is the newly elected President of the Cowichan Valley NDP Constituency Association.

Connect through music and stories Mother Goose: Leaders needed, training available to share stories and songs with children Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

olks with Cowichan Valley’s popular children’s song and storytelling Mother Goose program are calling for new instructors. Parent-Child Mother Goose is a program where parents and children learn songs, rhymes and stories, in a bid to nurture parentchild relationships and foster family wellness. “We are looking for committed individuals to receive this two-day facilitator training at no cost in exchange for a commitment of facilitating three programs over a two-year period in the Cowichan Valley,” Wendy Lambert said in a press release. “Becoming an instructor requires willingness and a commitment to deliver the program.” Those interested in the training, but not keen on the two-year commitment, can still participate in the training at a cost of $225.

Background experience related to early child development and enthusiasm for children’s stories and songs will help. The training program require three steps. The first is the two days of training, followed by an internship with an experienced facilitator. The second will include a team of two instructors who meet once a week for an 8 to 10 week session to teach songs, rhymes and oral storytelling to parents and children. Sessions follow a weekly structure that includes songs and rhymes, snack and sharing time, and storytelling for the parents’ enjoyment. “Often the stories are fables or stories with a moral or an amusing message,” Lambert states in the release. “These sessions are repeated seasonally, up to four times a year; with three being the norm from fall to spring. The final portion will see instructors connect with each

Cowichan families climbing family trees

Genealogy classes: Vancouver Island Library and Duncan Family History Centre join together for popular family history sessions Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

he best part about teaching folks about family history is seeing them “bit by the bug,” said instructor Jeannine Powell. “And the excitement of finding out the ‘something (they) never knew.’ I am thrilled with each success, particularly for those who are just getting started.” After a series of wellreceived family genealogy classes last fall and winter, the Duncan Family History Centre and local branches of the Vancouver Island Regional Library decided to link arms again. “Many people come in with questions about genealogy,” explained South Cowichan, Mill Bay library branch manager Monica Finn. “It’s a popular topic in this area and we wanted to get some experts in to help customers interested in learning more about their history.” When Finn was a librarian at the Cowichan Branch in Duncan, she approached the Family History Centre, looking to offer a free genealogy class at the library. FHC director, Lori Hamilton, was delighted to accept. “We’re lucky to have some very tal-

ented, knowledgeable people teaching classes anyway,” said Hamilton, “So why not hold them in co-operation with the library, which has a higher profile and additional promotional resources?” The first class, Tracing Your Family Tree – For Beginners, went off without a hitch. And folks were asking for more. Seven classes were arranged, including one in Mill Bay at the South Cowichan Library. Attendance increased steadily and grateful students returned to further their knowledge. “Our aim is to educate anyone who’s interested in how to search for ancestors and document their family history,” said instructor Carol Stiles. “In that process, you get in touch with who you are, where you are from, and why you live where you do.” “We bring experienced instructors, plus the Family History Centre is always there to offer ongoing resources and support,” said Hamilton. “It’s the same amount of work for our volunteers to teach a class of five or 25 students. We like knowing that we’ve helped more people with their genealogy.” Upcoming Classes in Duncan Oct 5: 3 to 4:30 p.m./Learning Legacy (Basic Introduction) Oct. 19: 3 to 4:30 p.m./Using FamilySe-

Meet: the Clarkes

Wedgwood House Seniors’ Complex

Ian owns and operates Island Kung Fu Family Martial Arts; he is also the general manager of West Coast Pre Fab, a local mill maintenance and structural steel company where Chantal, his wife, is the ofﬁce manager. We have two children Oliver, who is eight and enjoys soccer, kung fu, writing stories and Lego. Lily is six. She loves singing and her Sparks club. What’s your strategy for balancing work and family? My mom! Live in the now! Things are never going to be perfect; sometimes the housework doesn’t get done. Be engaged, you only have this time once, enjoy every minute, and be proud of your kids. Tell us about a big parenting challenge you faced and how you solved it? Two years ago Ian was diagnosed with cancer; it was a real shock to the family and very difﬁcult on the kids. We needed to pull together as a family and always kept our kids informed and secure that Dad was going to be OK and beat this. With the love

and support from family and friends we are happy to say Ian is now 100% clear! What’s your go-to activity for keeping the kids occupied? Walking in the Cowichan Valley; it has some amazing parks, and lots of fresh air really helps work off the kid’s energy. Our favourite places are Glenora Staging Park and Chemainus Lake. What’s the most laugh-out-loud thing your kid ever said or did? I think the one time that always makes me laugh even now is when I went into my son’s room a while back. Lily had her kindergarten interview the next day. Oliver had all his books and papers all over the room he looked at me and said “she’s not going to make it Mom!” I said “What do you mean?” He said “she can’t even count properly!” He was so stressed that his little sister would not get into her kindergarten! Name a local resource every parent needs to know about. For me it was Mother’s Morning Out. I made some lifetime friends, and it helped me meet new mums and learn about what was going on in the community and all the amazing programs available to new parents. What do you and/or your partner do to make time for yourself? For me it is Coronation Street and a pot of tea. For Ian any kind of martial art and music although we both enjoy spending time with our family and being involved with the community. Ian is the vice-president of Cowichan United Way and I have coached the Duncan Wild Cats for many years. The best advice another parent ever gave you? You are your biggest critic. Whatever you are doing to raise your family, whatever obstacle you have to overcome, do your best, and always ask for help when you need it.

Country Queen plays 10 of them in Crofton

ON STAGE

Take a look at the picture: Bonnie Kilroe looks nothing like Dolly Parton or Patsy Cline. But you may not agree after you get a chance to see her in action. Kilroe brings her award-winning celebrity impersonations to Crofton Thursday, where she will play no less than 10 country legends in her one-woman show, Country Queen.

Her impersonations include Parton, Cline, Shania Twain, Tammy Wynette, Reba McEntire and more. “Bonnie has been singing and strutting her stuff to the enjoyment of local, national, and international audiences, in theatres, convention centres, casinos, cruise ships, and less exotic stages,” her promo material states.

“....Fabulous medleys of music, video and physical comedy, to produce a multimedia entertainment experience with professional production values, combined with surprising twists, which brings much laughter, delight, (and even some tears.” Country Queen hits the stage Sept. 19 at the Crofton Hotel & Pub, 1534 Joan Ave. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Call 250-324-2245.

First of ﬁve feasts served Saturday by the VSO Season preview: Organizers hoping revitalized classical program will pack them in to the Cowichan Theatre

new musical season dedicated to an old friend marks Saturday’s Victoria Symphony opener in the Cowichan Theatre. The late Rev. Fran Darling, an avid sponsor of the hosting Cowichan Symphony Society, will be remembered as maestra Tania Miller leads the VSO — and global guest pianist Alain Lefevre — through works by Debussy, Mathieu, and Tchaikovsky. Valley singer Ted Rhodes of the CSS can’t wait for the 7:30 p.m. curtain. “This season has a tremendous amount of variety,” he said of the year’s four concerts, plus an educational show for youths. “We start with a hugely romantic evening (Sept. 21) with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4. It was one of the first symphony’s I heard as a kid at the Royal Festival Hall in London; it made me love music for the rest of my life.” He’ll also adore Lefevre’s turn on the ivories during Mathieu’s Piano Concerto No. 4. “It’s also a huge modern romantic work. Mathieu was from Quebec; Alain Lefevre discovered this work and has championed it for many years — and recorded and performed it all over the world to great acclaim.” Saturday will also hear Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. The whole evening is a prelude to the VSO’s Nov. 29 yuletide visit under Miller’s baton. That’s when soprano Nancy Argenta, mezzosoprano Aiden Ferguson, tenor Benjamin Butterfield, bass-baritone Stephen Hegedus, and Victoria’s Vox Humana chamber choir lend aural muscle to J.S. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. “The board decided to do a serious Christmas concert. It’s not a traditional carol concert,” Rhodes said of Bach’s Noel work peppered with the pipes of VSO’s guests. “It should really whet the appetites of all those who love Baroque music.” Violin lovers will also be moved by the

VSO Jan. 18 when Miller hosts bow doyenne Caroline Goulding during the world premiere of Osterie’s New World: The Golden Door, Copland’s Orchestral Variations, Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy, and Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 5. “Caroline Goulding plays Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy that’s very well known,” said Rhodes. “People will recognize it when they hear it.” They may also recognize the violin virtuosity of Chooi brothers Nikki and Timothy, during the VSO’s March 21 date led by Timothy Vernon. “It’s a very up concert,” Rhodes explained

of the evening of Ravel (Mother Goose Suite), Sarasate (Zigeunerweisen, and Tzigane), Bach (Concerto For Two Violins), and Schubert (Symphony No. 4 Tragic). Finally, Rhodes was stoked about the society’s annual Education Concert Feb. 19 designed for some 1,400 students to Feel Every Note among the wonders of classical music. “We bus them in to a VSO concert at the theatre as part of our community service,” said Rhodes hoping to expose more Cowichanians to VSO shows. “All we need is more people in seats,” he said,

BAKER, Scott October 15, 1965 Kentville, Nova Scotia

H.W. Wallace Cremation & Burial Centre Inc

September 8, 2013 Chemainus, BC 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.

MARSEL Marion Rose (Oelrich) April 30th, 1923 to Sept.4th, 2013

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 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, three nieces, one nephew, cousins and a large circle of close friends including Brad, Bruce, Eric and all the others… you know who you are. 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 on behalf of Scott Baker to North Cowichan for its ever increasing debts..

Sarah Oelrich family.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Marion Marsel, on September 4th, 2013 at Princeton, BC, at the age of ninety. Marion was a special mother, grandmother, great grandmother and aunt, as well as a good friend to many. She was born at Cold Spring Ranch in Princeton and was the last of ten children of the Albert and

Marion was predeceased by her husband, Sandy Marsel (“the love of her life”) November 3rd, 1978; her daughter, Sandra, on March 17th, 1968; and her son, Lance, on March 3rd, 2011. She will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her sons, Bob Marsel (Colleen) of Duncan and Blaine Marsel (Arlene) of Princeton, and various nieces and nephews, grandchildren, great grandchildren and one great-great grandson and great-great granddaughter. Marion was a pioneer of Princeton and was actively involved in many clubs and activities over the years, including: the Princeton Business & Professional Women’s Club, the Red Hat Society, the Vermilion Field Naturalist Club, TOPS, Curves, the Movers and Shakers Singing Group, Rebekah Lodge, the Crisis Line, the Princeton Legion Auxiliary Branch #56 and the Princeton Hospital Auxiliary. Marion always took time to visit friends in the hospital and at Ridgewood Lodge. She enjoyed watching performances of local theatre groups, dance groups, as well as playing the piano and singing along. Marion loved to read. She was an excellent crossword puzzle solver who loved the English language, and walking and exercising to keep in shape. She was proud of the fact that she was the first woman taxi driver in Princeton when they opened Marsel’s Taxi Service in 1954. Marion was voted Woman of the Year by the Princeton Chamber of Commerce in 1992 and received a Pioneer Family Award in 2010. She always enjoyed time with her many friends at the Senior Citizens Centre, Branch #30 and at the Adult Day Centre at Vermilion Court. She was a classy lady who loved to be “dressed to the nines” and modeled in many fashion shows over the years. She was so pleased to celebrate her 90th Birthday with all her family and friends at the Princeton Legion Hall in early May of this year. The family would like to give a special Thank You to Dr. David Smith, the caring Princeton Hospital nursing staff and community services, as well as Guadalupe Gutierrez. Marion requested no funeral service, but a Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 21st, 2013 from 1PM to 3PM at the Senior Citizen’s Centre in Princeton. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her name to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, PO Box 73, Duncan, BC V9L 3X1.

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.”

Telford of Ladysmith (250)245-5553 QUAST, Robert Frederick (Bob) Born: February 08, 1947 in Chilliwack, BC Bob passed away peacefully surrounded by family on September 10, 2013 in Victoria, BC. He had valiantly battled both cancer and heart complications over the previous 15 months. Bob is survived by his devoted and loving wife, Neva, his eldest son, Jeremy (wife Vanessa), and his youngest son, Brady (wife Jenna). Bob’s pride and joy were his adorable grandsons Sebastian (33 months) and Dominic (15 months), sons of Jeremy and Vanessa, and Evan (8 months), son of Brady and Jenna. Bob was also survived by his loyal brothers Lloyd (wife Dawn) and Bill (wife Erin), along with numerous nieces and nephews, and was pre-deceased by his mother, Lena, his father, Emil, and his brother, Don. He also leaves to mourn, Neva’s parents Clyde and Alice Smith, along with Neva’s siblings, Sandra Logan and Kendall Smith and their families. Finally, Bob leaves behind an army of friends and colleagues, who he was proud to have known and loved. Bob spent the majority of his life in Prince Rupert, BC, working as a firefighter for 33 years. He was elected as a School Trustee, a position in which he served for nine years, where he advocated for students, teachers, and support staff, as a community of learners. Bob volunteered many hours of his time coaching and officiating athletics in Prince Rupert. He was a valued community member, and had so much pride in being a ‘Rupertite’. Bob and Neva relocated to Duncan, BC in 2006 in order to be closer to their children and their future grandchildren. His love for golf, classic cars, and travel continued to pervade his lifestyle in Duncan, allowing him to truly enjoy what retirement had to offer. Bob truly loved life, and was taken from us far too early. He is a testament to what a man should strive to become. In honour of Bob’s wishes, he will be cremated and family will gather at a later date to honour his memory; there will be no formal service. So, swing a club, mow a lawn, polish a bumper, or simply raise a glass in memory of Bob Quast. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either the BC Cancer Foundation or the BC SPCA.

Every week we deliver in upwards of 3000 loaves of bread and baked goods throughout the Cowichan Valley. It is all donated to people who would otherwise go hungry (schools, Food Banks, Seniors Centres, & many more).

he offense is looking stronger, but the defence remains the forte of Cowichan LMG Pringle. Cowichan is off to a 2-0 start in Div. 1 of the Island Soccer League with five goals scored and none against after beating Nanaimo 1-0 Saturday night in Nanaimo. The team is picking up right where it left off last season with flawless defence and a second straight shutout for Joel Wilson. “In the last 20 league games, we’ve given up eight goals,’’ said coach Glen Martin. “We’re confident. We’re obviously priding ourselves on that.’’ Dan Citra scored the lone goal to beat Nanaimo at the 65-minute mark on a cross from Steve Scott. Citra beat his defender to the ball and headed it in to the far post. Scott, formerly of Sooke, was dangerous throughout just his second game since joining Cowichan. “He’s only got the one (goal), but he’s created six really good chances for himself,’’ said Martin. “It’ll come.’’ The Cowichan-Nanaimo game went pretty much as expected, with two really strong teams battling it out. “They had a good team,’’ said Martin. “They played well. We didn’t play as well as I thought we could. We did what we had to do. “We gave up a lot of free kicks outside our box. They didn’t do too much with them.’’ Wilson made one big save in the first half. Cowichan faces a bigger test in its next game against defending Jackson Cup champion Bays United Liquor Plus Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Sherman Road Park’s Bill Keserich Field. “It’s a good time to play them,’’ said Martin. “They don’t have all their big players back yet.’’

Andrew Leong/file

Dan Citra is a key man on the Cowichan LMG Pringle attack and produced a big goal in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Nanaimo. But, despite absences and injuries, Bays has still scored six goals in two games. “They’re scoring lots of goals without those guys,’’ said Martin. Sniper Jordie Hughes, brother of Cowichan’s Tyler, is one those players still on the shelf and unlikely to play.

Format fosters friendship

DCS boys going through growth

Three divisions: Girls’ field hockey teams start on equal footing Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

he Friendship Cup tournament that opened the high school girls’ field hockey season switched gears and went to a three-division format at three different venues. The new concept seemed to work extremely well, with all games being much more competitive. Usually with 12 teams in the tournament, organizer Alanna Martin of Brentwood College managed to bump it up to 14 with development teams. “It worked out really well,’’ said Martin. She praised Oak Bay for being a real trooper and going into the Premier Division with stronger teams from Cowichan Secondary, Frances Kelsey, Shawnigan Lake School and Collingwood. St. Michael’s, Mark Isfeld, Glenlyon Norfolk, Mount Douglas and Brentwood played in the Competitive Division. The Development Division included second teams from Brentwood, Kelsey and St. Michael’s plus Queen Margaret’s School. “It was a challenge organizing three divisions,’’ said Martin. But seeing how the younger, less experienced players — including many of her own on the Brentwood College team — benefited from the format made it all worthwhile. “You want to really protect them and enjoy the sport at their own level,’’ said Martin. “I think for ourselves and I know for a couple of other coaches, it was a great idea,’’ said Cowichan’s Jen Budding, back at the helm taking over for Gillian Braun, who’s gone to Vic High. “I think it worked out quite well.’’ The Premier Division games played at Shawnigan Lake School were very

well-balanced. Interestingly, scores were reversed from round robin play to the championship round. Kelsey beat Collingwood 2-0 and Cowichan topped Shawnigan 2-1 in the round robin. But in the playoffs, Collingwood knocked off Kelsey 2-1 for third place and Shawnigan defeated Cowichan 2-1 to take the title. “I think it was a good battle all around,’’ said Budding. Cowichan has numerous players with Team B.C. experience but just five Grade 12s — Stefanie Langkammer, Michelle Pewarchuk, Kim Smith, Jenner Court and Krystyna Neal — who were on the team when Budding last coached two seasons ago. “I think there’s lots of potential,’’ she said. “I think we have some good skilled players. “Gillian took a number of them last year to second place at provincials.’’ It also helps having a solid goaltender back like Tara Eriksen, she added. “It’s just a matter of trying to group everybody to get them on the same page so they’re playing the same style,’’ said Budding. “That’ll be a key component. I’m looking forward to the season, for sure.’’ In the Competitive Division at the Cowichan Sportsplex, Mark Isfeld won all its games to place first. St. Michael’s was close behind. For Brentwood, “although it did not seem like we were successful on the scoreboard, we were thrilled with the improvement displayed by the team over the two days,’’ noted Martin. The Development Division was a oneday tournament at Brentwood College. The Kelsey junior team won all its games, including a 2-0 result over runner-up Brentwood. Queen Margaret’s made a good showing with two ties.

magine an organization which has donated funds for more than 65 consecutive years to support cancer patient care, research and equipment. Now imagine the commitment of thousands of members hosting socials and teas, bazaars, raffles and other fund-raisers, as well as giving freely of their time to meet their charitable goals. According to Ruth Foster, Director of Cancer Activities for the O.E.S., “There are four categories of annual giving: educational bursaries, equipment, supplies and Cancer Dressings.” Last year, $8,362.29 was collected from the sale of cancelled stamps and postcards throughout British Columbia and Yukon to be distributed for Cancer Research or Cancer Dressings, wherever it is needed. (We must thank our friends in the community for keeping us well supplied with stamps.) Sunset Chapter #44, Duncan has one of our 39 Cancer Dressing Stations, located downstairs in the Mercury Theatre on Brae Road, Duncan. Last year, throughout our jurisdiction, 170 dedicated members volunteered 8120 hours producing 69,708 cancer dressings at a cost of $9,599.91. (We’ve used up inventory on hand, which once again reduced expenses. There is a need for dressings in Northern BC, so these numbers will likely increase next year.)

Lexi Corby Lexi Corby is a big wheel on the roller derby circuit. Corby of Crofton, who turns 14 on Oct. 12, is a Grade 9 student at Gulf Islands Secondary School and serves as captain of the Candy Crushers junior roller derby team. She’s an excellent skater, one of the best jammers for her age and an amazing blocker. Corby got her skates on-line and it’s the only pair she’s used. “I was in the garage jumping over broomsticks and stuff like that so I got used to it,’’ she said. It was exciting for her to see the juniors emerge. “My mom started the team with my coach Amanda,’’ Corby said. “I was the only kid in it. We started putting posters up all around town and kids started coming in.’’ She’s known by a different identity in roller derby. “I selected my name with my hair because it’s blond but it’s kind of goldish and my name is Lexi so I picked Goldie Lex,’’ she said. Corby went to Rollercon in Las Vegas this summer and even got to skate on the Strip. “It was nothing I’ve ever done before,’’ she said. “I was probably the second youngest one because I’m a junior. There was a lot of juniors there, but it’s a mostly adult convention.’’

Cancer is a dreadful disease without the added burden of the expense of dressings often required. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CHARGE TO THE PATIENT. All that is required is a doctor’s referral. By supporting our Stamp Project, attending bazaars and teas, the Cabaret Night or buying tickets on our annual Cancer Draw, you enable us to continue our efforts in the fight against cancer. We’ve had a Polar Swim each February since 2005, first at Transfer Beach in Ladysmith and starting this year, at Departure Bay in Nanaimo. Thanks to pledges/donations, the members willing to brave the chilly water, have raised over $50,000.00 for Cancer Projects. Please drop off your used stamps at the Cowichan News Leader/Pictorial Office between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, Mon. to Fri., #2-5380 Trans Canada Hwy., the United Steelworkers Office, 351 Brae Road, or the local Cancer Office, #100-394 Duncan Street. NB: Our Stamps Dealers dictate how the stamps are to be trimmed, so we are asking our friends in the community NOT to TRIM stamps off envelopes. Just leave the stamps intact and we’ll do the rest. We don’t want any stamps to be spoiled. Thanks.

uncan Christian School’s senior boys’ volleyball team battled some top-notch opposition and finished 11th in the Douglas College Invitational at Coquitlam. “It’s definitely a growing period with a young team,’’ said DCS coach Peter Day. “I can honestly say every player on the floor improved this weekend. “Right now, what really comes into play is systems — knowing what you’re doing on the floor. We ran into some confusion on the weekend.’’ On the positive side, the squad is actually one notch ahead of last year’s powerful DCS team that placed 12th in the tournament. DCS opened pool play with a split against McRoberts of Richmond, 25-19, 15-25. The team then took on Langley Fundamental with its five Team B.C. players against Douglas Groenendijk, the lone DCS player with Team B.C. experience, and lost 9-25, 14-25. DCS completed pool play with a 22-25, 15-25 loss against Richmond Christian, a highly-touted single-A school that Day felt was beatable. In the consolation round, DCS prevailed in a tight match against Moscrop of Burnaby 26-24, 27-25 and then kept pace in the first set but eventually fell 20-25, 12-25 to J.N. Burnett of Richmond. The DCS boys will take on Belmont Wednesday at 5 p.m. as part of a high school and university-college men’s volleyball night at DCS. After that, the DCS team goes on a break for Mexican Missions and West Coast Trail trips. Camosun and Vancouver Island University teams play in the feature match at 7 p.m. The VIU squad includes 2013 DCS grad Bennett King-Nyberg.

Islanders allay any Friday the 13th fears with their first win

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

riday the 13th fears didn’t faze the Kerry Park Islanders when they ventured to Campbell River for a Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League game. In fact, it was entirely the opposite as the Islanders put their first notch

in the win column this season by beating the Campbell River Storm 6-4. After three straight losses to open the season, “it was nice to get it out of the way,’’ said Islanders’ captain Eric Mansueti. “We really needed it early on.’’ The Islanders peppered the Saanich net in a previous 6-4 loss and that carried over into the Campbell River

game, as they directed 49 shots at two Campbell River goaltenders. “I think we’ve almost outshot every team we’ve played this year,’’ said Mansueti. They haven’t been rewarded for those efforts until now. Matt Grant completed a hat trick for the Islanders with an emptynetter. Francis Lapierre-Slicer had a pair of goals and Ryan Paisley

added a single. The Islanders kept the momentum up the next night at home and opened a 4-0 lead midway through the game, only to collapse and lose 6-5 in the second overtime to the Westshore Wolves. The Islanders got goals from five different players in that game: Alex Milligan, Mansueti, Tylor Branzsen, Braeden Cross and Lapierre-Slicer.

“We were all over them again,’’ said Mansueti. “We struggle sometimes with discipline and it came back to bite us.’’ The Wolves scored three times on the power play. Three-year veteran Mansueti likes the composition of this year’s squad. “It’s a great group,’’ he said. “We’re all friends off the ice. We grew up together, a lot of hometown guys.’’

Getting over the hill a good thing at Port Angeles hill climbs

AthLetiCS

These guys aren’t over the hill. But they are concerned with getting themselves over the hill. That may sound a bit confusing, but three riders are ardent hillclimbers and put themselves to the test in the Hurricane Hill motorcycle hill climbs in Port Angeles, Washington

during the Labour Day weekend. Pat Barry, John Hind and Kurt Allan of Barry Racing made up the Canadian contingent during the event. Some of the classes the trio rode in were very competitive. But they made a very good show-

ing and even managed a first place and earned a spot in the money of a cash payout class. The host Olympic Peninsula Motorcycle Club prides itself on having never cancelled an event, no matter what the circumstances. — Don Bodger

New-look Caps subdue Alberni in home-opener

Beatty beating: Coach’s debut at Cowichan Arena a success, with players showing strong puck movement Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

he biggest thing Cowichan Valley Capitals’ coach Bob Beatty wants is for the team to establish a presence at Cowichan Arena. Success at home obviously keeps the fans happy and coming back. Besides that, it’s integral to having a productive season in the B.C. Hockey League. The Caps kicked it off in fine style Saturday night at Cowichan Arena, beating the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 5-1. “We want to make it a tough place to play,’’ said Beatty. “We want to be a team that’s notably hard to play against.’’ The new edition of the Caps won over the fans immediately with a gritty display for the two points. “It was a good crowd, a good way to start the season,’’ conceded Beatty. The sense of anticipation is always high for the first game of the season at home among both newcomers and veterans. “There was some nerves, for sure,’’ said Beatty. “To be honest, I thought it was more comfortable than at the Showcase.’’ The Caps played their first two regular-season games the previous weekend in that tournament, winning against Prince George and losing to Trail. But at least it got the players back into their game mode

before opening at home. The Caps took the early lead on a goal by Myles Powell, but Alberni’s Hunter Stewart got that one back just 19 seconds later. The way the Caps responded to that Alberni tally impressed Beatty. “Nobody let up,’’ he said. “It was good to see we went right after it again.’’ Their efforts were rewarded with a power-play tally by Steen Cooper 4 1/2 minutes later and Sam Curleigh made it 3-1 after the first period with a goal in the last two minutes. The Caps put two more goals on the board in the second period — Curleigh’s second and one from Mason Malkowich. “They skated well, took away time and space,’’ said Beatty of his team’s effort. “I thought we were moving the puck better. There’s still room for improvement.’’ Robin Gusse wasn’t overly busy in the Caps’ net, facing just 21 shots, but showed the stability in net the Caps definitely need when things go awry. “He doesn’t panic,’’ said Beatty. “It was a good shot that beat him and he made some timely saves when the game was close.’’ The Caps didn’t quite light it up at the other end, either, with just 23 shots directed at Blake Pearson, but they made five of them count. Beatty likes the way his team is coming together and the 2-1 start helps set things in motion. “I do think the chemistry is good,’’ said Beatty. “I think we’ve got some

real good kids. At this stage, there’s no lack of focus.’’ The Caps head back to Alberni for a rematch with the Bulldogs Wednesday. Beatty expects the Bulldogs will provide a greater challenge back on their home ice. “They’re going to be pretty hungry,’’ he said. “They’re 0-4.’’ Beatty will make sure his players are well aware of that fact and come prepared to work hard. The Caps have a doubleheader at home this weekend. They take on the Victoria Grizzlies Saturday at 7 p.m. and the Surrey Eagles Sunday at 2 p.m. at Cowichan Arena. After that, they head to the Interior for three games.
