Accident south of Chemainus blocks highway for a half-hour

Two women suffered non-life threatening injuries Sunday when their SUV rolled on the TransCanada Highway south of Chemainus, Crofton’s ﬁre chief says. Lee Burridge said the mishap occurred on wet pavement at around 1:30 p.m. in the highway’s northbound lane, about a half-kilometre south of Mural Town.

The wreck allegedly saw a Chevy Blazer hit a car, then roll. The crash caused what Burridge called extensive damage to the car’s rear-end, leaving the flipped Blazer blocking the highway for about a half-hour. Crofton firefighters attended the scene. They were backed by Chemainus fire hall’s rescue truck

in case the Jaws of Life were needed to remove folks from the wreckage. “The two females got out of there themselves,” he said. The pair was taken to Cowichan District Hospital with unknown injuries while North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP sorted out the crash’s cause.

Dike project ﬁnished on time and under budget

But: less provincial funding than expected means local taxpayers have to make up the shortfall Peter W. Rusland

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial A3

owichan taxpayers have plugged dike-upgrade bills after provincial grants fell short of expectations, local leaders explain. Still, the new dikes nearing completion — on time and under budget — got an estimated $9.6 million worth of work done for about $9 million, regional staff noted. Residents of North Cowichan, Duncan, Cowichan Tribes and the Cowichan Valley Regional District tossed an additional $950,000 of their provincial gas-tax money into the dike project after local and provincial funds tallied about $7.75 million. That local top-up followed Victoria granting just $5.16 million of $18 million in dike-fix dough requested by valley

governments from B.C.’s infrastructurerenovation program. The four local governments’ one-third of the costs totalled about $2.6 million. That sum was coupled with Victoria’s two-thirds, totalling $5.16 million — then Cowichan’s additional $950,000 was added. North Cowichan is installing a $750,000 pumping station on York Road, using municipal money and regional gas-tax dollars as part of the $9-million budget. “Right from the beginning, we knew we had to do a pump station — we just didn’t get all the money we wanted to,” Mayor Jon Lefebure said of bucks building the dikes to protect to the 200-year flood mark. Local government staffers tightened belts and sharpened pencils. “We had about $8.5 million and were hoping, through efficiencies and competitive tendering, to try and get $9.5 million worth of work done for around $8.5

million,” CVRD head engineer Brian Dennison said. CVRD staffer Norm Olive’s number crunching shows the project could reach about $9 million — still under budget expectations. “The pumping station should be done in a couple of months. There’s also some work on the south side being done that’s about one month away. We’re pleased,” Dennison said. The new dikes would have handled Cowichan River flooding that doused areas around Duncan in 2010, he noted. Meanwhile, Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society members are worried about how the dike work, and potential future development, will affect the sensitive marsh and its surrounding areas. Those concerns will be aired at Friday’s 7 p.m. meeting in the Cowichan Theatre, featuring a panel of stakeholders to discuss issues and answer questions.

jogger got the surprise of a lifetime when he recently came face to face with a cougar near Lake Cowichan. That big-cat encounter was one of two sightings reported last week around Lake Cowichan’s King George and Cowichan Avenue areas. Conservation officer Stuart Bates said officers received another cougar-sighting report Wednesday near a lake school, but the news was discounted as being second-hand, Bates explained. “It’s tough to deal with second-hand reports; we get more details with first-hand reports.” But Thursday’s 8 a.m. encounter by the jogger, along a lake area trail, was investigated. “The guy saw a deer jump out, and when he came to that point, he saw a cougar sitting there. It walked over the trail behind him and he did what you’re not supposed to do — run,” Bates said. The cat swung back into the bush and re-emerged on the trail for the jogger’s second fright, before vanishing into the woods. While the meeting was injury-free, Bates advised folks to realize there will always be cougars in the lake area, and to learn precautionary

measures. Don’t make them comfortable by feeding deer or raccoons that mountain lions like eating, he explained. “By feeding deer and raccoons, you’re laying out a smorgasbord for them.” Vigilance for cougars was next on the safety list. “Go into wooded areas with someone else,” he said, noting the cats are on the prowl around dusk and dawn. “If you meet one, grab your children, don’t run, and don’t scream because high-pitch sounds sound like wounded prey.” The idea is to make yourself look as big as possible — open your coat or umbrella — and stare the cat in the eyes while backing away slowly. Luckily, people don’t fit a cougar’s prey profile of “fourlegged and furry” critters, Bates said. “While someone was attacked by a big cat last year near Sproat Lake, it was a rare incident, he indicated. “I’ve never seen a cougar in the wild,” added Bates, a Cowichan native. They joined a summer list of mountain lion action on the south island, Bates said. Some sightings involved livestock kills, he said, noting the curious cats remain “pretty elusive.” To report a cougar sighting, call B.C.’s Report All Poaching and Pollution line at 1-877952-7277.

Cowichan Valley’s rural fire departments launching intensive membership drive

Recruit and retain: Volunteers needed to step up and help serve six Cowichan communities Malcolm Chalmers

News Leader Pictorial

our community needs a few more heroes. And your chance to step up comes this weekend. On Saturday, members of six volunteer fire departments from the Cowichan Valley are collaborating on a recruitment and retention program. The goal is find more keen and dedicated volunteers who have the time and commitment to become firefighters in their communities. During a special session at the Sahtlam fire hall, you can ask questions, receive information and hear first-hand accounts of how rewarding volunteer firefighting can be. These six communities have one thing in common: they tend to be small communities and have little work in the area. Members have to travel outside of their community to work and are not able to be called to fight fires if necessary. This is why attracting new recruits is so important. “We are an older retirement community with less younger people in it,” Honeymoon Bay fire chief Keith Bird said. “We are looking for new recruits because they bring in new skills, new directions and new motivation. It also helps with retention for our older members as well, when they see new people joining up they want to be part of it and mentor these people.” To volunteer, you need to be 19

Keith Bird or older, with a clean bill of health and class 5 valid drivers licence. Junior members age 16 to 19 are welcome and will be utilized in a non-firefighting role. Members 19 to 65 (or 85 in the case of one member in Sahtlam) receive National Fire Protection Association approved training — the 13 essential skills needed to fight fires to the standard held across North America. Being physically fit is an asset, but there are many jobs not on the front line that can be accomplished by someone in less-than-top condition. “Nobody is put in danger. We can do this right, firefighter’s lives come first, before we can save anyone else we make sure we are safe,” Bird said. “Safety is number one in all firefighting” Males and females are welcome. “We do medical first response calls and 50% of our calls could be for females, there is nothing better than walking in to treat a female

community member and having a first responder that they are comfortable with,” Bird added “Being a member of a small hall is all about community. When you go to someones home at three o’clock in the morning they are glad to see you because they know you, they are comfortable with you before the ambulance gets there.” The job is not all saving lives or structures; Social events, parades, fundraising for MS and regular training sessions all play big parts. Still, Bird said, there is room for it in most lifestyles. “Being a volunteer firefighter your family comes first, your job second and all volunteer things come third, so members might only come to regular practice two hours a week. There may be an extra hour here and there depending on your position in the unit.” There is no cost. Safety equipment and training is paid for and members receive a small stipend paid by the CVRD on a participatory basis. Insurance is provided. “What you gain is the lifesaving training that you can use all your life,” Bird said. “I found I treated my kids and relatives more than any one else. It’s a lifeskill you take away with you.” If you are interested in joining, members from Malahat, Sahtlam, and North Oyster will join three Cowichan Lake area halls (Mesachie, Youbou and Honeymoon Bay) at the Sahtlam Fire Hall, 4384 Cowichan Lake Rd on Sept 28 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. to fill you in on the details.

Wednesday, September 25, 2013

Celebration of life scheduled for first weekend in October

from page 1

Police investigation continued into how Foote’s white eastbound pickup collided with Newman’s white westbound pickup — towing a boat bound for a fishing trip off Port Renfrew — at about 6 a.m. Wednesday near

Hillcrest Road. The accident left Foote’s unidentified male passenger with injuries after he was thrown clear, a witness said. That man, and Newman’s daughter, Kennedy — who was also injured — were released from hospital, the RCMP said Thursday.

“No charges yet, but the investigation is continuing,” RCMP Cpl. Jon Stuart said. Witness Mark Primmer said he and his friends — headed on a fishing trip off Port Renfrew with folks in the westbound truck — tried to call for help, but there was no cell-phone

reception at the crash scene. Two air ambulances attended the scene to transport injured people to hospital. A celebration of Foote’s life will be held on Saturday, Oct. 5, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Glenora Hall, 3660 Glenora Rd. in Duncan.

target, providing adequate water to release, a media release from Crofton’s environmental manager, Brian Houle, says. “Starting Sunday, Sept. 22 at noon — and ramping up over the rest of the day — the water flow on the river at Lake Cowichan will be increased from the current flow of 13 cubic metres per second (cms) to a pulse flow of 18 cms. “This increased river flow rate will be sustained for about two hours, and is important as it signals salmon to begin their annual spawning cycle.” Unlike previous pulse flows, this year it slowly dropped flows by yesterday. “The plan is to repeat this same pulse flow routine beginning Sept. 29,” Houle notes. Catalyst urges citizens, especially boaters and swimmers, to use extra caution on the river. “Increased flows, combined with natural storm events, can create stronger currents and undertows.”

pawning Chinook salmon are being helped by bigger Cowichan River flows that start Sept. 22, Catalyst’s brass says. The flow boost from 13 to 18 cubic metres per second involves manually adjusting gates at the Lake Cowichan weir. The move will be conducted to help the upstream migration of spawning Chinook, says a release from Catalyst, owners of Crofton pulp mill that’s held two provincial river-water licences since the 1950s. The higher flows follow a joint agreement between the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Cowichan Tribes, Cowichan River Hatchery, and Catalyst Paper’s Crofton Division. “Water storage levels in Lake Cowichan are on

Overpass not the solution, but a bypass might be Island Highway: There’s a reason why the Duncan strip sees so many accidents

he recent tragedy that took the life of Cowichan teen Natasha Joe is neither rare, nor unique. The signalized Boys Road intersection — just outside the News Leader Pictorial front door — has been the site of more than its share of accidents in the decade we’ve been at this location. That reality has started a quiet buzz about doing something to fix the situation, with many fixating on an overpass as the preferred solution. While that may be a solution, it is Route not, however, the best solution. What Duncan drivers and pedesthrough traftrians really need for their safety and fic around the convenience is a bypass. You see, this issue goes far beyond city the Boys Road intersection. It encompasses Trunk, Coronation, James and Beverly and pretty much every stretch of sidewalk in between. The issue is the island highway being asked to not only carrying out its main role of being Vancouver Island’s main artery of through traffic, but also being asked to shoulder the role of being main street Duncan at the same time. The same commuters desperately trying to get to work in Victoria, or an appointment in Nanaimo are collliding with pedestrian and vehicle traffic heading up the street and around the corner to the homes and businesses. How many of these tragedies are happening on regular basis on the main drag in Ladysmith? Chemainus? Parksville? That’s because their main streets are not the highway. That should have happened here and still could. Reduce the risk and the frustration by detouring through traffic around the city. Limit city traffic to those who really want to be in the city. Build a bypass.

We say:

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

This we like

Good news arrived on the school front late last week. Support staff workers in School District 79 joined their union brothers and sisters across the province in reaching a tentative agreement to keep our schools running smoothly this fall. It’s not going to solve all the problems in our district, or in the provincial system. But it is one less thing for parents to worry about.

The Great Lake Walk could return next year.

Let local people solve local recycling dilemmas Aaron Bichard

News Leader Pictorial

n our government’s letterhead printed on virgin B.C. paper, the outstanding awesomeness of our province is unmistakably clear. Super natural, beautiful, the best place on earth, the place where Canada starts; over the years the claims to fame get bolder and brighter and better. On recycled paper, however, British Columbia’s proclamations of prowess have of late become slightly smudged. This is largely due to the inability to learn from our own mistakes, and the almost dogged determination to repeat them. Our leaders have a tendency to come up with decent ideas then completely muddle the delivery. The latest example can be seen in giving an industry-run organization the mandate to offer a one-size-fits-all solution to residential recycling throughout B.C.

In May of next year Multi Material B.C. is destined to roll out a curbside recycling program built with the intention of shifting recycling costs away from the taxpayer on to the producer of the material needing to be recycled. The Packaging and Printed Paper Stewardship Program was designed at the behest of the province to achieve a 75 per cent recycling rate province-wide. Newspapers, retailers and other producers of packaged goods will be responsible for collection and recycling of the materials. MMBC’s program will work by offering money to existing municipally run collection services to do their bidding and contracting out those collection services in areas where recycling collection doesn’t currently exist. Everyone involved seems to think the idea of increased recycling is a good one, but nobody other than MMBC seems happy with the way the contract is written. Fees of $5,000 for loads with greater than three per cent contamination rates have cities

For most of the past decade, today’s paper would be including a recap of the Great Lake Walk. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen this year. Sadly it’s not alone. For reasons probably best chalked up to changing community interests and priorities, it seems like a number of longtime community staples, many of the smaller variety are at, or nearing their ﬁnal days.

COWICHAN LEADERS

across the province wondering how much money the taxpayer will end up owing. On Thursday at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention a resolution was unanimously passed to demand more time with MMBC to negotiate the contract. The problem here is two-fold. First, the province has given the responsibility to design a program palatable to B.C. taxpayers to a sector that is driven by profit. Industry will take this opportunity to write an agreement that falls in its favour. They will also treat their partners as they would other corporations, demanding arbitrary deadlines be met and using non-collaborative tactics to push ahead. This is problematic when it is the taxpayers who are the partners. The second, and to me more troubling problem, is the belief that provincial issues can be dealt with by imposing one solution on everybody. Just think about the diversity we find here

in our own neighbourhoods, throughout the Cowichan Region and Vancouver Island. The only way to efficiently and accurately create programs and solutions for local problems, such as how to increase recycling rates, is to put the power in local hands, and let local groups come up with individualized programs to meet those needs. The province needs to demand the contracts be written in a way that demonstrates increasing recycling rates is the most important goal, not covering industry’s costs to recycle material they produce. Then the province can step back and leave it in the hands of local organizations to deliver the best service to meet local needs. Aaron Bichard writes for newspapers and recycles them.

verwhelming community support for special causes is nothing new in the valley and the Sept. 14 garage sale for 2 1/2 year old Kenzie Lynn Hamilton is just another example. Kenzie is having brain surgery on Friday pertaining to her diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis. A Facebook page has been set up for information on TSC and to keep people updated on her progress at www.facebook.com/ kenzieandtsc. The family still can’t believe the response the garage sale generated. “It went very, very well,’’ said Kenzie’s grandmother Wendy Tague. “We were higher than kites, to say the least.’’ Tague said at least 1,000 people turned up during the sale on Jaynes Road. “We have shed many tears and are still in awe at the support of our friends, family and community,’’ noted Kenzie’s mom, Tracy Hamilton. “What we thought was going to be a small garage sale between friends and family became so much more. The world is a better place because

he Cowichan Beekeepers Club gained almost half its membership in the last year, reported a very tickled club president Paul Peterson. “We’ve got so many new people. It’s becoming a phenomenon across North American,” said Peterson who’s been involved with the club for five years, and who’s from Duncan, but keeps honey bees in Cobble Hill. “We have 20 new members and in total we have 50. That covers the whole Cowichan Valley.” One of the club’s youngest new members is Duncan’s 10-year-old Grace Thompson. The Tansor Elementary School student created her first hive this past spring and has been hooked since. “My dad was working for a man who told him he had bees and we could come see them,” she said. “The next day, me and my dad went there. It just fascinated me. I was just standing there and they didn’t even notice me. They were flying all around me and through my hair. “I just wanted to know more about them.” Grace’s father, Gil, is very impressed with the local bee club. “They’ve got an amazing mentorship program and Paul has been really great,” he said. So great, Grace’s focus has turned to lots of volunteering for the club at places like the Cowichan Exhibition and Duncan Farmers’ Market, reading more

books on bees, working on successful crops, and making their own honey. “The funnest thing has been discovering how the bees act and how big the queen bee really is,” Grace said, showing about the size of a Loonie with her fingers. It’s been a pretty similar fascinating learning curve for Cowichan mother-of-two Charlene Morris. Morris started beekeeping in 2012. “It was something I always wanted to do because we had the property to do it, and honey bees just always fascinated me,” she said. “My friend was taking the beekeeping course here at Malaspina and asked if I would be into it too, so we did it together.” Morris is also one of the new members of the Cowichan Beekeepers Club. “My first honey crop was great and I managed to keep my bees alive over the winter. Every week through the winter I would knock on the outside to see if I could hear a buzz, which obviously meant they were alive,” Morris said, estimating start up cost for keeping bees was about $1,000. That includes the bee suit, a couple hives, bees, a smoker, hive tool, and the “must-have beekeeping course.” “When this spring came I was so excited to see what they were going to do,” said Morris. “My colony was strong and I ended up splitting it to make two hives and then I thought I should just leave it be for awhile, but I left it too long and my old colony swarmed,

which at the end of the chaos we got them back out of a tree.” The lesson Morris learned was “climbing up a tree with a ladder in a bee suit (is) not fun. I check them every 10 days, and have learned it’s very important to do that.” That and, “I’m pretty sure my kids think I am nuts and so do the neighbours.” Like Thompson, Morris is amazed when watching bees at work, creating a strong colony and protecting their queen. “It’s so cool to open up a hive and smell fresh honey, and know that your bees are thriving and doing good for the environment, all while making honey. It’s so amazing to see them fly with pollen tucked away in their pollen baskets back to the hive.” Beekeeping does come with its challenges. There are certain diseases and mites that affect crops. “All bees will get mites. In the early days, the mites would just wipe out your bees, so they treated them with heavy pesticides and chemicals,” said Peterson. “But over the last while they’ve been combining different genes and different queens. They’re able to sense when the mites are in the cells with the young bees.” “Every beekeeper has a different way of doing things and there’s no set rules,” said Morris. “I have met some great people through the Cowichan Beekeepers Club, who are always there to answer my panicked questions.” For more on the beekeepers club, go to cowichanbeekeepers.ca

Kate Wilson works a Sept. 13 prescribed burn at the Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve. Inset, the largest Garry oak on the preserve (and perhaps in all of Canada) stands in the middle of a freshly burned plot. The tree’s thick bark is resistant to the fast burning grass ﬁre, but as extra precaution crews clear dry vegetation away from the base of the tree and hose down the trunk before the burn. The Nature Conservancy of Canada uses controlled burns to maintain open meadows at the preserve. Fire burns quickly through the dry grasses, prohibiting the growth of invasive weeds and preventing bushes and trees from taking over the meadows.

RCMP’s biggest fan happy

On track

New boathouse launched: Volunteer recognized for her years of sheltering Shawnigan police boat Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

hawnigan Lake’s Ann Thow is sad to see RCMP crews not using her boathouse for lake patrols anymore. But she’s also really glad they’ve made a huge upgrade to a shiny new boat station at Shawnigan Lake School. “They needed a boathouse about 10 years ago and that’s really the story,” said Thow recently after being recognized by the detachment for her years of volunteer help. “I really care about the lake and I knew they didn’t have anywhere. It came together so easily.” Members of the detachment presented Thow with flowers and a plaque in August. “Ms. Thow stepped up years ago and gave the detachment a boathouse to utilize every summer for the police boat,” said Sgt. Rob Webb in an email. “She is always very welcoming when she sees us, whether it is during patrols or the unfortunate late at night or early morning emergencies over the years.”

Shawnigan Lake RCMP partnered with the Shawnigan Residents Association (SRA), Parks and Recreation and Shawnigan Lake School to create the new boat facility worth about $75,000. “We’ve been very pleased with the positive relationship between the RCMP and the school throughout the process,” said Webb. “The final product, which was designed and built by Dan Salmon, is a facility I think everyone will be proud of for years to come.” The new location will reduce response time on the water by more than 50%, with a less-than-fiveminute drive from detachment to docking. The boathouse, located east of Shawnigan’s Read Crewhouse, was built in the same style as the rest of the school’s facilities. “(SLS) is proud to partner with the RCMP in this initiative,” said the school’s director of communications Ryan Panton. “We recognize that accessibility for emergency personnel is paramount to the safety of this entire area. As members of this community, we see helping facilitate the RCMP in fulfilling their duties efficiently and

Meanwhile, Thow’s still “sorry to see them go.” “They’re a great crew. There have been accidents on the lake, plane crashes, and I’ve been here. They work hard. I’ve seen them come in tired, beat up, and at 3 a.m..” But the new house was a long time in the coming. “It should have been done years

and years ago,” said Thow. “The lake is growing with more people, boats and skiers and they really needed it.”

Cowichan investigating opportunity to be Caring Co-operatively Oct. 4 meeting: Community candidate for provincial project aimed at creating seniors care co-ops Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

owichan could be a selected site for a B.C. Co-operative Association program developing elder care co-ops across

Canada. But first, seniors living in the valley have been asked to attend a meeting hosted by Cowichan Co-operative Connections and featuring a presentation by a co-ordinator of the Canada-wide initiative. “In the hopes that Cowichan can be one of the selected sites for this project, Cowichan Co-operative Connections is hosting a meeting for all Cowichan seniors and support agencies to discuss what type of model would best address our needs in the valley,” states CCC’s Rick Juliusson. “The co-ordinator of this Canada-wide initiative will make a presentation prior to the community dialogue.” The B.C. Co-operative Associa-

tion program, funded in part by the government of Canada through its Social Development Partnerships Program and the Vancouver Foundation, is aimed at supporting three different kinds of co-ops: housing co-ops, aging in place and foster care co-ops, and co-op residential care facilities. “The program, called Caring Cooperatively, will provide development funding of up to $20,000 for pilot co-op projects, designed and directed by seniors, senior organizations, and communities,” states a press release. “The project is designed to empower seniors to work together on the provision of services that they need, and that they design,” said project coordinator and director of Co-op Development at the B.C. Co-op Association, Kevin Harding. The B.C. Co-operative Association is a provincial association of co-operatives and represents more than 600 co-ops across B.C. With its members, it works to build a cooperative economy. Cowichan Co-operative Connec-

Meet Lake Cowichan’s world-class track star

Marg Radcliffe: Eight medals in B.C. Seniors Games whets appetite for trip to Brazil for another crack at the worlds Tyson Jones

News Leader Pictorial

local athlete has won eight medals in this year’s senior games, and has hopes of obtaining more at this year’s Huntsman World Seniors games, which takes place in Brazil. Marg Radcliffe, 71, is no beginner when it comes to competing in the B.C. Senior Games. Since 1997, Radcliffe has competed in all the games except for 2005 in Duncan, and 2007 in Nanaimo. “I won silver in the 100 (metres), the hammer, and the weight throws. I won gold in all the rest,” said Radcliffe. “I would say earlier on I had better years because I’ve had a lot of knee problems, NEW PATIENTS WELCOME

so I just go and do what I can now.” Radcliffe has not been a track athlete her whole life, but has always had an interest in the sport. “I did some track in high school, but that pretty well ended when I was 16 because there was nobody interested anymore,” said Radcliffe. “I didn’t start again until I was 55.” After only two years of competing in the provincial games, Radcliffe made the move to the worlds with great success. “In javelin, I do fairly well. I’ve won some gold medals in javelin. I’ve also won medals in high jump, and some of the relays, but javelin is my best event.” Radcliffe is not optimistic about winning at this year’s world games, but said there is still a

She is headed to Brazil in October for the worlds. chance of a podium appearance. “A medal is possible in javelin, it’s also a possibility in the high jump, but that would be as far as I get,” said Radcliffe. “If I throw well it could be gold, but I haven’t been throwing well—so I’m not counting on that.” There is no end in sight for Radcliffe’s athletic career, but there

have been a few setbacks along the way. “I’ll keep competing as long as health wise I can do it. I already have one knee replaced, and I’m looking at getting the second one done,” said Radcliffe. “I don’t know how that will work with track, after that I might just become a thrower.”

Radcliffe does not just compete for fun or the competition; she hopes that she can inspire those younger than her. “I hope that I can inspire some younger people to get out there, and do stuff like this because you’re never too old,” said Radcliffe. “It doesn’t matter how good you are, I’m doing it.

Online forum available for health support Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

n online medical forum for folks living with diabetes, heart, kidney and lung disease can be at the fingertips of Cowichanians. Simon Fraser University professor Scott Lear and his research team’s My Health Connect was established for patients living throughout B.C. They’re currently looking for participants in the Cowichan Valley. “At present, we have patients involved in a variety of areas throughout the island, but not from the Cowichan Valley area,” stated research coordinator Kaitey Vincent. “We are actively recruiting here and are looking for interested individuals to become involved.” Vincent said the program is available to residents living with two or more of the following five conditions: congestive heart failure, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, COPD, and chronic kidney disease. “Chronic disease rates are higher in small urban and rural areas, yet access to care is limited to larger cities,” Lear said in a press release. “Patients from remote areas often end up traveling long distances to receive

care, sometimes at great time and financial costs.” Developed in collaboration with the province’s health authorities and currently undergoing study throughout the province My Health Connect tracks symptom data and measurements such as blood pressure, weight and sugar levels. It is also monitored by a nurse. “Using a computer algorithm, if a value falls outside an individual’s normal range, an alert is sent to a designated nurse, who telephones the patient and provides counseling and advice on whether to see a doctor,” a press release states. “Since patients manually enter the data, no specialized equipment is necessary. The program also provides access to dietician and exercise specialist support.” Given the program’s coordination with the patient’s doctor, My Health Connect is set up to prevent disease progression, reduce the need for patient travel for care and keep patients out of hospital. It’s funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research. Anyone interested in the program can contact Vincent at 1 (604)-806-8242 ext. 68242 or toll free 1-855-444-1265.

Save the Bread Van!

Did you know that the Cowichan Food Connection, which operates the Bread Van, relies on public donations to FUEL the Van? Our fuel bill alone is over $2000/month and many months we do not have the necessary funds & the bills are piling up. 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). Go to http:// cowichanfoodconnection.com to find out how you can help or contact the secretary, Kim Sayer at 250-856-0046 for more information.

Lachlan Polson of Camosun slams the ball past Trevor Dykshoorn of VIU, above. Left, Rylan Brouwer of VIU makes his point count against the defence of Alex Sadowski (7) and Vitor Marcedo (11) of Camosun. The Chargers won all four sets in convincing fashion.

Groenendijk’s injury hurts DCS during exhibition against Belmont

Volleyball spotlight: Camosun College Chargers defeat VIU handily in feature men’s exhibition match at Duncan Christian School Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

uncan Christian School’s senior boys’ volleyball team not only lost a match, but an important player on the undercard of a men’s volleyball night at DCS. DCS got things going last Wednesday against Belmont in exhibition play and dropped three sets. In the process, star player Douglas Groenendijk suffered an injury, tearing a ligament in the top of his foot.

Groenendijk is expected to be out of action for up to three weeks. “We thought it may have been worse at the time,’’ said DCS coach Peter Day. Luckily, the schedule is light the next little while with DCS Mexico Missions and West Coast Trail trips going on at the same time. When DCS next plays at the VIU tournament in early October, Groenendijk could be just about ready to return to action. With Groenendijk missing most of the exhibition against Belmont, DCS was hardpressed to keep pace. “They’re probably going to be a top-10

ranked team in AAA,’’ said Day. “That’s not to say we didn’t play. They’ve definitely played longer together. “The more reps you get in, the better. We’re still working toward a goal. I would definitely say Wednesday was a step back for me.’’ A dominant performance was turned in by the Camosun College Chargers men’s volleyball team against Vancouver Island University in the feature match. The Chargers won all four sets in convincing fashion. Bennett King-Nyberg, a DCS grad, got into some action for VIU.

Girls’ volleyball: Three local squads face some intense battles Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

tiff competition forced three valley teams to battle hard in the Dover Bay high school girls’ volleyball tournament. Brentwood College finished with three wins and three losses. Victories came against John Barsby, Woodlands and Frances Kelsey, with losses to Lambrick Park, Vanier and Nanaimo District. “It was a good start for us,’’ noted coach Jill Fougner. Coach Dave Vanderschaaf’s Duncan Christian School girls started with an 11-25, 21-25 loss to provincially-ranked No. 9 AAAA team Handsworth. A victory over Kelsey 25-12, 25-19 and 17-25, 18-25 loss to Dover followed to close out the first day. Second-day action for DCS included a 13-25 loss to Cedar, 17-25, 19-25 setback against Ballenas and a wild 25-17, 19-25, 13-15 narrow defeat to Woodlands. “I was very happy with how we did,’’ said Vanderschaaf. “The Saturday games were more important, I guess. The way we played in the Saturday games was awesome. They just gave their all.’’ Ballenas, No. 8 in AAA, was another

high-powered opponent that put DCS to the test. Vanderschaaf stressed to the girls his players needed to be louder and make themselves heard, a strategy that worked well. “They were stoked with how well they did,’’ he said. But the Woodlands game was the piece de resistance that went right down to the wire. DCS held leads of 6-0, 12-2 and 19-9 in winning the first set 25-17 but couldn’t quite duplicate the feat in the ensuing sets. Kelsey found itself against some of the top teams in the tournament as well. “We weren’t looking too much at the score,’’ said Kelsey coach Mark Jackson. “We put aside our desire to play it safe to win a match.’’ Scoring 17 points in one game against Handsworth was a great achievement. That result was fairly typical for Kelsey in its five other matches. Jackson has the team doing earlymorning workouts before school to work out the kinks. “I’ve got a pretty new squad,’’ he said, and “they were a little overwhelmed,’’ at the tournament. “I’m quite confident by two-thirds into the season, we’ll start to come into our own.’’ Lauren Barnes was Kelsey’s standout.

When Piggies fly, it looks like this. Runaway Piggie Mike Needham of Cowichan eludes Eli Cummins of Comox to score a try during Saturday’s 48-0 Cowichan whitewashing at the Herd Road Grounds.

Young team playing like old pros Piggies flying: Black Sheep and Kickers overwhelmed by Cowichan machine Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

he first two games of the season have been a breeze for Cowichan Rugby Club’s First Division Piggies. After demolishing Port Alberni Black Sheep 55-5 the previous week, Cowichan went back to work at home Saturday and shut out the Comox Valley Kickers 48-0. It was another dominant performance by a good young Cowichan

team. With upwards of 50 guys coming out to training, “it should be a good year,’’ noted veteran Andrew Gudmundseth. That’s what’s been happening so far at least. But there’s always room for improvement. “Despite the lopsided score, we did squander several scoring opportunities in the second (half) and left a lot of points out on the field,’’ noted returning coach Gord McGeachy. But it was hard to knock that part of the game for McGeachy,

who added he was “happy with the defensive effort in keeping a clean sheet.’’ Robbie McDonnell scored the game’s first two tries, with George Bantin converting one. Chad Evans and Mike Needham completed the first-half scoring, with Bantin adding another conversion. Owen Wood, Cam Jervis, Cam Hall and Bruce Moss accounted for second-half tries. Hall converted his own try. McGeachy is looking forward to a tougher test for his team at home against Nanaimo this weekend.

Erik Kenner The man to guide the Cowichan Bulldogs’ Midget division football team this season at quarterback was pretty obvious. Erik Kenner, 18, who graduated from Frances Kelsey Secondary in June, has been playing for head coach Doug (Opie) Williams for five seasons so he clearly fit the bill. “I really like his leadership qualities,’’ said Williams. “He’s stepped up. He’s not only leading on the field, he’s leading off the field. He knows my system. He understands what I want.’’ “Quarterback’s a tough position,’’ said Kenner. “It is definitely worth it. I like leading the guys and the guys, they follow me.’’ Scrambling out of the pocket is one of Kenner’s strengths. “We like to have plays where I can roll out, throw the ball while on the run,’’ he said. “It’s a bit easier for me. I don’t have the strongest arm.’’ The Bulldogs were a strong contender in the Vancouver Mainland Football League last season and have returned as a force with Kenner at the controls. “This is the best team I’ve ever played on,’’ he said. “We have all the pieces to the puzzle. Now, we’re just trying to put that puzzle together and hopefully win a championship.’’

Scoreless game between Div. 1 soccer powers

Wednesday, September 25, 2013

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial A25

Even steven: Cowichan has the better of the chances, but can’t make one count

Who says soccer isn’t a contact sport? Cowichan’s Connor Crichton and Scott Jones of Bays United get their arms entangled during Friday night’s scoreless Div. 1 Island Soccer League game in Duncan. Drizzle falls on the two players and spectators kept bundled up under their umbrellas during the game at Sherman Road Park’s Bill Keserich Field.

News Leader Pictorial

he first battle of the Div. 1 Island Soccer League heavyweights goes as a no-decision. Both Cowichan LMG Pringle and Bays United are fine with that. The teams fought to a scoreless result Friday night at Sherman Road Park’s Bill Keserich Field. “It was a hard-fought game without a doubt,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin. The rainy evening with wet grass was a great equalizer. Cowichan had three glorious chances in the late stages. “I thought we were going to pull it out, but we didn’t,’’ said Martin. He was still happy with the point under the circumstances. “The last few times we played them, they beat us,’’ Martin said of the defending Jackson Cup champs. “It would have been exciting to pull it out at the end.’’ Bays was playing without top scorers Jordie Hughes and Greg Fiddick that limited its attack. In the second half, “they kind of sat back and tried to slow the game down,’’ Martin said. Joel Wilson made one especially big save en route to his third straight shutout to start the season and continued a remarkable Cowichan streak. That’s nine consecutive league games dating back to last season that

Cowichan has not surrendered a goal. Cowichan has a bye this week and then plays on the road the following weekend against Prospect Lake.

Fast start fires up Div. 2 United

Div. 2 Cowichan United finally got the start it needed to beat Gordon Head 2-1 on the road for its first win in three games to open the season. “I changed up the line and something just clicked,’’ noted player-coach Neall Rowlings. Daryl Kobe, who came down from Div. 1, provided some spark with infectious hard work.

Cowichan came out strong and got a goal from Jose Muro which was almost flicked in first by Jordan Korven. Kevin Smith then finished off a rebound with force after a Nelson Devana header. Gordon Head got lucky on a free kick to close the gap to 2-1 in the end. “Our first half was intense and if we start games like that, we will be a top place team,’’ enthused Rowlings. “We have a very deep lineup and any one of these players can step in. Having 19 guys will be a challenge to balance if they keep playing like this.’’ Cowichan plays away again Saturday against Gorge.

SPORT SCENE

Cowichan teams are back in action each weekend playing Vancouver Island Ladies’ Field Hockey Association games. Last weekend’s schedule included a 1-1 draw for the Div. 2 Cowichan Swifts against the Sailors. Ali Andersen, who coaches the Frances Kelsey senior girls’ team, had the Swifts’ goal.

Cowichan Cardinals also played to a Div. 2 tie, 2-2 against Lynx II, with both goals from Shylayne Davidson, pictured. In Div. 3, the Cowichan Stellars earned a 2-0 win over the Devils on goals by Lynne Dayton and Makayla Styba. Cowichan Kestrels took care of the Demons 3-1 on two goals by Sharyn

Higginson and one from Lexi Anderson. The Stellars beat the Kestrels 3-2 the previous week in an all-Cowichan battle. Lauren Kellar, Olivia Burton and Styba scored for the winners, with replies from Jill Roberts and Terri Bachynski. Cardinals and Swifts both defaulted their games.

t’s early, but the Cowichan Valley Capitals are generating plenty of enthusiasm within their ranks and among their fans with a 4-1-1 start to the B.C. Hockey League season. The Caps beat the Victoria Grizzlies 4-2 and still received a point after a 3-2 overtime loss to the Surrey Eagles during games on back-to-back days at Cowichan Arena Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. “We knew it was going to be crucial,’’ said Caps’ coach Bob Beatty about his team’s success out of the gate. “It is only a start, but certainly it’s great. A start’s good for confidence. There’s no question.’’ And the Caps are a confident group right now. They’ve already climbed onto the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s top 20 honourable mention list based on their winning percentage. “They’ve deserved it,’’ said Beatty. “They’ve worked hard. “We’ve got a good group of kids. They’re willing to work and be coached.’’ “I don’t think it’s a surprise at all,’’ said Caps’ rookie and Cowichan Valley rep hockey system product Jordan Topping, who just turned 16 in July and is among the team’s impressive newcomers. “I think we have a pretty good team this year.’’ It’s a great thrill for someone like Topping to be on the team after coming up through the ranks in the valley before going to the Nanaimo Bantams and North Island Silvertips of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League last season. His Western Hockey League rights belong to the Tri-City Americans. “I was at my WHL camp for a while,’’ said Topping. “When I came back here, I didn’t know for sure (about being on

the team). I was trying to work my way up.’’ Beatty likes what he sees in Topping. “He is a young guy who has a lot of potential,’’ he said. “He’s got good size and a good shot. The learning curve will be a little steep.’’ Topping, a Grade 11 student at Cowichan Secondary School, concedes he has a lot to learn. “It’s mostly about learning from the guys around me and taking my chances and doing the best I can with it.’’ Many other Caps’ newcomers, mostly older than Topping, are in the same boat, trying to find their way with the team. Everything’s working out well and it starts in goal with the veteran presence of Robin Gusse. “He’s not getting rattled,’’ said Beatty. “He’s performed extremely well under pressure.’’ The Caps led Victoria 2-1 on goals by Mason Makowich and Taki Pantziris when Armand Uomoleale scored a huge goal 3 1/2 minutes into the third period. Dane Gibson’s marker in the late stages provided insurance. Gusse was the difference with 36 saves. He faced 15 shots in each of the last two periods. Back on the ice less than 24 hours later, the Caps were leading Surrey 2-1 on a pair of goals by Myles Powell when the Eagles’ Jonah Renouf tied it with only 8:04 remaining in regulation time. The teams went into overtime and Renouf played the spoiler with the winner at 4:11. The Caps hit the road this week for games in Trail Friday, Penticton Saturday and Merritt Sunday afternoon. The Vees are always a challenge to beat in their building and have another strong team this season. “We’ve got a tough road trip ahead of us,’’ conceded Beatty. Next home game is Oct. 5 against Powell River.

Rolling puck causes some anxious moments for players trying to assume control during back-to-back weekend B.C. Hockey League games at Cowichan Arena Saturday and Sunday. The fall guy, above, is Surrey’s Nicolas Pierog, as Cowichan Valley Capitals’ Taki Pantziris wins the battle. Left, stick slapping is conducted by Victoria’s Brandon Egli to ward off the Caps’ Myles Powell. The Caps are off to a 4-1-1 start, benefiting from a great mix of contributions from everyone in the lineup to get the job done.

Shadlock boys ride high in wakeboarding

Sizzling summer: Brothers prove they belong among the elite with some amazingly consistent results Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

submitted

Shadlock boys Mason and Deklon occupy second and third place on the podium, respectively, at the provincials this summer.

he valley’s Shadlock boys are wakeboarding dynamos. Brothers Mason, 13, and Deklon, 11, Shadlock worked really hard on their wakeboarding this summer and attained some top-notch results in the 14 and under age category. The summer schedule began at Deep Cove in Vancouver at the Covet Wake Jam where Mason placed first overall and Deklon finished fourth.

It was back to Sproat Lake after that to train hard for the next event. The next tour stop was on Long Lake in Nanaimo where the boys had another successful weekend. The placings were exactly the same with Mason in first and Deklon fourth. Both boys were then asked to go in a head-to-head competition and Mason made a spectacular showing for Rip Curl Canada’s Grom of the Year award. A grom refers to a young and skilled wakeboarder. The provincial wakeboard team then gathered at Sproat

Lake for a training camp and to learn some new tricks. The Sproat Lake Water Sports Association hosted the third tour stop of the summer on the B.C. Day long weekend where Mason came first and Deklon third. Mason advanced to the open division and faced all of the best riders in the event, but still placed second overall. The provincials took place the following weekend at Shumway Lake in Kamloops and both Shadlocks reached the podium. Mason placed second and Deklon third. The Shadlocks finished the

season in the Muskoka Lake region of Ontario where there was stiff competition from all across the country. The boys knew they had their work cut out for them, but were not to be denied with great performances again. There were three heats and the top two in each advanced to the national finals. Riders from B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec took part. Both boys had a great first ride and advanced to the final. Deklon, the youngest rider in the finals, ended up sixth and Mason second in the country.

Hanging tough: Undefeated Nanaimo and Victoria imposing opponents, but don’t get their two points easily Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

K Andrew Leong/file

Jackson Jane’s stellar goaltending kept the Islanders in two games against VIJHL powerhouses.

erry Park Islanders held their own against the two undefeated teams in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. The Islanders faced a tall order, taking on the North Island and South Island Division leaders on back-to-back nights at Kerry Park Arena. They held the explosive offenses of the two teams in check relatively well, but couldn’t generate much

offense themselves. The Nanaimo Buccaneers, leaders of the North Island, moved to 7-0 by defeating the Islanders 3-1 Saturday. The teams were deadlocked 1-1 until midway through the third period when Chad Bell scored on a power play, his second goal of the game. Derian Hamilton added an empty-netter with 14 seconds remaining. Corey Peterson scored the lone goal for the Islanders. The outcome spoiled a great goaltending performance by the Islanders’ Jackson Jane,

who made 32 saves. The task was even more daunting Sunday afternoon when the Islanders played the Victoria Cougars. The Islanders ran into a string of minor penalties early in the second period and gave up three power play goals that ran Victoria’s lead to 5-1. But the Islanders shut the door after that and didn’t allow another goal, as the game ended 5-1. Tylor Branzsen had the Islanders’ marker while Jane was outstanding in goal again with 43 saves.

Learn how to rock from the pros

Who better to teach you how to rock than a pair of men who earn their living in the business. Odds guitarist Murray Atkinson and Trooper bassist Scott Brown are the headline instructors in a pending tutorial dubbed the Headliners Rock School. Musicians aged 12 to 17 are urged to join the pair Monday at the Duncan Garage Showroom

for the ﬁrst installment of a 10-week session aimed at playing in band, playing loud and having fun. “During organized rehearsals you will learn cover tunes selected by the band and rehearse to perform live on stage show at the end of the session, promotional material states. “Performers have an authentic music experience that they

will remember. Organizers are looking for vocalists, guitar & bass players, drummers and key/piano players. Rehearsals will be held once weekly on Mondays. Students must hold basic playing skills and have basic chord and note knowledge. For more information or to register please call 1-250-585-1811 or headliners.ca

Funny bones brace for a whack from the Burnstick One night stand in Cowichan: Canadian comic back to one of his favourite stages in the country

Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

on Burnstick’s title for his Cowichan comedy skit, One Night Stand in Cowichan Valley is very ironic. That’s because the Cree comedian’s picked Cowichan as one of his preferred communities to perform in. And it will be his second time here. That’s a result of a positive experience and good turnout to a show he did at the Cowichan Theatre about five years back, the Edmonton, Alberta-based, Alexander First Nationborn healer and comedian said. “It went really well. There was lots of good laughter, lots of good people,” Burnstick said in a phone interview from Northern Quebec last Monday. “I pick certain places where there’s a following and I like getting to these places and opening it up to the general public. I picked Cowichan because of the venue and the good people.” Burnstick’s gearing up for his Sept. 28 performance at the theatre. “What I do, is I go for the local content, so people will be thinking, ‘Hey, he really knows what he’s talking about,’” Burnstick said. “A lot of it’s just about being Canadian. The thing about what I do, is I come from a First Nations perspective. I’ve been compared to many ethnic comedians. Russell Peters is a great example or Larry the Cable guy.” Not only are Burnstick’s skits “very B.C.”, they’re also seen as medicine to those folks who might need to see a turnaround in their life.

Thanks to the generosity of supporters, Longevity John Falkner has managed to keep his Duncan Garage Showroom operating on a shoestring budget for ten years. Peter W. Ruslamd

“As a Cree born in Alexander First Nation in Edmonton, Alberta, Don had a rough start growing up,” Burnstick’s promotional material reads. “His home was quite violent, he began roaming the city streets and was addicted to drugs and alcohol. At the age of 21 years, he sobered up and pursued his education in holistic urban youth development and drug and alcohol counselling. “Today, Don travels the continent performing stand-up comedy for what he calls ‘holistic healing.’ By combining humour and healing he has become a significant beacon of light in the eyes of our youth. Unlike any comedian before, Don has brought to light our Native habits, likes, dislikes and told them in an epic performance that we will never forget.” Burnstick’s mantra is to avoid holding shows at places where there’s booze available, like pubs and bars, he said. “My humour is very wellness based. I don’t do my shows where there’s alcohol. I try to educate,” he said. He’s not going to get too political either, he added. He’s also not a fan of swearing on stage. “In the 17 years as a comedian, I’ve never said the ‘F’ word,” he said. Although, his ‘One Night Stand’ might have some suggestive material, and probably won’t be appropriate for little kiddies. Burnstick’s been working on the healing/personal wellness movement for the past 20 years. He also wrote and individually performs the play I Am Alcohol -

Don Burnstick says he caters his comedy very speciﬁcally to the local Canadian audience. Healing the Wounded Warrior. “In this play, without preaching or moralizing, Don presents a gripping dramatization of the addictive power of alcohol and drugs, and the connections to other destructive forces that have plagued the Aborigi-

nal community.” Meanwhile, Burnstick’s established himself as one of Canada’s best comedians. “I’m just really looking forward to putting on a real good show and making more fans,” he said.

Cowichan musicians stage beneﬁt for iconic Showroom Ten years of tunes: Music mecca survives its ﬁrst decade, but it’s viability still month-to-month

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

en years and some 2,600 performances later, and the landmark Duncan Garage Showroom is still alive and kicking. Impresario Longevity John Falkner celebrates his artistic survival with Saturday’s benefit fundraiser at the Showroom (his popular venue opened on Sept. 26, 2003). The legendary curio-collector’s 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. garage sale ushers a ‘patio picnic’ evening of musical guests including Eugene Smith and The White Boys, Bill Levity and Marty Jones, Gláucia Regina Desrochers and others. The benefit by Showroom friends was

originally planned for Avalon Equestrian Centre, but has now shifted to Falkner’s venue, which can use the cash. “We are still open, not as a financial success but as a critical player in the various Canadian music scenes,” his email says. “Being open 10 years has been a case of stubbornness, as opposed to solid business planning. As we all know, monies and the arts-and-cultural sector are not always the closest of friends. “We do thank those who have quietly stepped up to the plate financially — and our landlords have been more than considerate in their acceptance of ‘late’ rent payments over the years (as opposed to Shaw and Hydro... haha). The bottom line is we need to continuously raise monies to stay open.”

Falkner accepts cash donations, or through PayPal on his website. Anniversary week action starts with Thursday’s gig by Vince Vaccaro, who’s tossing $5 from each $20 ticket back to the Showroom. Friday sees a by-donation showcase of Duncan’s Got Talent 2013 starting at 8 p.m. with Shayde Dame, Jaclyn Childs, Patrick Dixon, Mary Harrison, Rachael Gagnon with a band, and more. Sunday offers a 2 to 4 p.m. show by Andrews and Lawrence, the Showroom’s first act. A&L delivers “highend, tongue-in-cheek, amazingly delivered gospel,” Falkner said of the $10 ticket, that includes some aftershow players. For more, call 250-748-7246 or visit duncangarageshowroom.ca.

early 60 participants put a strain on their brains in Mind Games, a battle of music trivia wits, in a benefit for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. Saturday night at Fuller Lake Arena. Hosted by the News Leader Pictorial’s Don Bodger, his wife Theresa and brother Dave, the music trivia game pitted members of seven teams against each other in a contest to identify song titles, artists and round themes. The event raised $2,588 and was dubbed Georgina Falt Memorial Mind Games Music Trivia in honour of Theresa’s mom, who had Alzheimer’s. “It’s the face of the disease that makes the difference,’’ said Jane Hope, the Society’s support and education coordinator for North-Central Vancouver Island. “Most people know somebody.’’ There are currently more than 70,000 people in B.C. living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias, according to Hope. Worldwide, there are more than 36,000,000. With the first of the Baby Boomers reaching their mid-60s, the incidents of Alzheimer’s are expected to climb significantly. “With that huge influx of people that are aging, they figure by 2038 the numbers we have today are going

to double,’’ said Hope. The strain on the medical system is already enormous, but would be even more if not for the great commitment of caregivers. “Caregivers in B.C. provide about 33,000,000 hours of unpaid care every year for people with dementia,’’ Hope pointed out. Proceeds from the game entry fee and donations went to the Society. Numerous sponsors provided draw prizes as an incentive for participants. “The donations go to support programs and services for people who are impacted by dementia,’’ said Hope. The event was arranged to coincide with World Alzheimer’s Day. The entire month of September, in fact, is World Alzheimer’s Month. January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in Canada. Hope is always grateful for the awareness and funds created by community events such as this. “It absolutely means a huge amount,’’ she said. “We would love to have more people do something.’’ Hope attended the event to receive a giant cheque from Theresa Bodger. Hope says there is always hope with the research being done. “That’s the Alzheimer Society’s mission is a world without Alzheimer’s or dementia,’’ said Hope. In the meantime, publicity helps people to learn about what’s happening to their loved ones. “I think the more people know about what’s going on in the brain and understanding it’s a disease like cancer or any other, they can learn to be a little more accepting of the changes,’’ said Hope. The team known as Former Drummers of Spinal Tap laid claim to the Georgina Falt Memorial Trophy by topping the team standings. “Everybody had a great time,’’ said team captain Debra Hartlen of Shawnigan Lake, whose team also consisted of Peter Smith, Loralee Smyth, Miranda Willson, David Marshall, Lori Willson and Dan Salmon. “It was good to get together with people who appreciate music and to support a good cause,’’ added Hartlen, who’s actually the great niece of Falt. “It was a lot of fun and it was for Auntie Tow.’’ Jenn George’s Boy George Michael team was the runner-up followed in third by News Leader Pictorial editor John McKinley’s Generation Gap team that included his daughters and dad.

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.)

p m a St Out r e c n a C

Presently, sterilization is only being done by certain Hospitals and Clinics by trained and qualified staff in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna andd Prince George. The present method of distribution on is - the hospital staff will give the patient a supplyy of cancer dressings to take home. Local cancer patients requiring dressings are asked to contact the Canadian Cancer Society Office at 250-746-4134. 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.

We don’t want any stamps to be spoiled. Thanks.
