Cowichan Folk Guild retrenches in bid to make sure Folkfest turns 30 One step back, two forward: Gaming grant scare prompts venerable organization to take a closer look at how it does business
Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
H
ard times have hit the venerable Cowichan Folk Guild, sparking a fiscal revamp to pave the way for next year’s 30th Islands Folk Festival. Guild president Bill Levity said the guild’s cash crunch nearly cancelled July’s folk festival — which later soldout. He called the scare a “curse and a blessing.” Still, he was confident next July’s festival will happen. “We’re going through a year of complete restraint, and our approach to financial stress.”
He confirmed the looming departure of Robert McCourty, CFG’s current artistic director, as his contract expires Oct. 1. “It’s become obvious we can’t afford a full-time artistic director, and that’s a reflection of our fiscal standing,” Levity said, awaiting more numbers about the guild’s exact financial health. Instead, the guild will rely on a director on a limited contract to oversee IFF30. That person will be complemented by guild members and board directors helping stage the guild’s various coffee houses and
other concerts, Levity added. The songwriter pinned part of this summer’s festival crisis on unreliable news about B.C. Gaming grants. “They made a major shift, from June to Aug. 31, to let folks know if they’re getting money, and how much.” The guild finally got gaming cash after the Aug. 31 deadline of informing applicants of approval and payouts, he noted. “It was very tense.” So tense, guild brass negotiated deals with various suppliers to reduce festival charges, boost in-kind help,
and other tactics. “You can’t totally rely on (gaming money),” he said of Victoria’s funding pool created to help community groups. But the gaming grant system underwent a restructuring in recent years. Those changes left many groups, such as CFG, annually applying for gaming grants, then guessing if they’d get any dough while planning events. That fog left folk-guild brass scratching for cash in January to host July’s folk festival. “We cut back everywhere we could;
we just squeaked through. But even by the end of August (2013) we hadn’t heard,” he said of the CFG’s Gaming application. He didn’t see any “red flags” on CFG’s books right now, and didn’t foresee a major hop in festival ticket prices. “I think we’re in good shape. We hope to be in better shape by IFF 30. We’ve been edging up ticket prices, but not significantly, to cover costs.” Those bills may be addressed by more festival sponsors, raffles, higher beverage-garden prices, and other ideas, Levity explained. “There are other ways to raise money at the festival.” bchonda.com

ir purifiers are really air cleaners and won’t remove gaseous pollutants like cigarette smoke. Since particles of tobacco smoke are designed to be inhaled into the lungs, they are quite small. The best protection from second-hand smoke is to not allow smokers to smoke in your house. We tend not to run to the doctor for every little symptom but some symptoms can’t be ignored. These include the following: a persistent or high fever; shortness of breath; weight-loss that you can’t explain; flashes of light in the eyes; sudden mental changes like confusion or disorientation. If you experience any of these, see your doctor right away. If you have a sore throat, it always feels worse in the morning because your throat gets dry overnight. To soothe a sore throat, keep it moist. Suck on lozenges or hard candies to stimulate saliva production. Drinking plenty of fluids is also important. If the sore throat persists for more than a few days, see your doctor. This year’s flu vaccine will contain protection against four strains of flu virus rather than the three we are used to in the past. Called a quadrivalent vaccine, it will contain vaccine to protect against two strains of both Influenza A and Influenza B. This new vaccine promises to be more effective for people over 65.
When you need information about flu shots, our pharmacists are up to date on the current knowledge.

Recreation is yours for free this weekend at a number of public facilities
Being lazy and broke just isn’t going to cut it as an excuse for not getting some exercise Sunday. It’s Free Recreation Day in the Cowichan Valley and there’s a couple of different options for people to consider for the sake of their health without any burden at all on the pocketbook. The Island Savings Centre and Kerry Park and Fuller Lake Arenas are providing incentives not to

Cowichan man in for long recovery after being rescued from flaming RV
RV convoy: Driver seriously injured after northbound driver plows into his vehicle in the southbound lane Chris Bush
Nanaimo News Bulletin
A
Cowichan-area family is offering its thanks to those who took part in rescuing the driver of a motor home involved in a head-on collision. The crash happened south of Nanaimo Sept. 9 on the Island Highway near the Duke Point Highway turnoff. A car being driven into oncoming traffic slammed into a motorhome, trapping the RV’s 81-year-old driver behind the wheel as the wreck ignited underneath him. The driver and his wife, whose family has asked they not be identified, are recovering in hospital. Janet Patterson, the couple’s daughter-in-law, contacted the News Bulletin Thursday to offer an update on the couple’s condition and extend the family’s gratitude to Good Samaritans, who stopped to help by discharging fire extinguishers to contain the fire, and to the police, ambu-
lance crews and firefighters who attended the scene. Patterson said her father-in-law, who suffered burns and multiple injuries, is being treated in the Vancouver General Hospital burn and trauma unit where doctors are assessing his condition day by day. The couple was travelling with a convoy of RVs from the Courtenay-Comox area to Rondalyn Resort and RV Park near Ladysmith the day of the crash, which claimed the life of Ryan James Jackson, 20, of Nanaimo. Derek Bayly, a logging equipment mechanic who lives in South Wellington, was among the first people to stop and lend a hand. He had just pulled onto the highway after stopping to refuel his work truck when he came upon the wreck, which had just started to burn. “I’m required to carry two five-pound fire extinguishers in my truck at all times, so out of just instinct, I jumped out, got in the back seat, grabbed a fire extinguisher and ran over there,” Bayly said. “I was the only one there at the time with a fire extinguisher.” Bayly discharged the fire extinguisher underneath the motorhome where he saw flames, then ran around to the other side

Emergency crews work around the aftermath of a head-on collision between a motorhome and a car in the south bound lanes of Chase River hill on the Island Highway. and knocked down a second fire. “Then I’m wandering around just checking if there’s any other spots where there’s fire and I look inside and I see the driver of the motorhome’s legs trapped underneath the thing and flames all around him, so I just stuck the nozzle in and just let her go,” Bayly said. By this time, seven or eight people from the RV convoy and other vehicles had joined in to help. The first firefighters from Nanaimo Fire Rescue Station No. 4, A Platoon, arrived on scene minutes after the crash and controlled the fire as one of its team entered the motorhome and pulled Patterson’s father-in-law from the wreckage.

Police campaign focused on increasing pedestrian safety
Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
A
campaign is running through October to promote local pedestrian safety. Cowichan Community Policing volunteers intend to be out in full force, beginning Sept. 30, with attention directed at unsignaled and mid-block crossings. The second week will focus on reflective materials, with reflectors handed out at the
Cowichan Community Policing office; Week Three is about seniors and vulnerable road users, with talks at local senior centres; and Week Four wraps things up with driver awareness at safe crossings and school zones. Carol-Ann Rolls, manager of Community Policing programs and volunteers, pointed out darker times ahead with rain and fog, among other factors, reduce driver visibility. Pedestrians can take measures to protect themselves. “It is easy to overlook devices that are designed to keep us safe while walking,’’
Rolls indicated. “Studies have shown that wearing bright or white coloured clothing is not sufficient to be seen within the required stopping distance of a vehicle travelling 50 kilometres per hour. “A pedestrian can enhance his or her visibility by using a reflector. A driver using low-beam headlights can see a pedestrian who does not have a reflector from only a distance of about 40 metres away while a reflector-using pedestrian is visible from 150 metres.’’

Routley accuses Liberals of dodging issues Friday, September 27, 2013
Duck and cover: Lack of fall legislature sitting not sitting well Karl Yu
Nanaimo News Bulletin
C
owichan’s north-end MLA is not happy he won’t get a chance to work the house this fall. The announcement there won’t be a fall sitting of the B.C. legislature, has B.C. NDP Nanaimo-North Cowichan MLA Doug Routley calling foul. According to Routley, there are many issues to deal with and the B.C. Liberals should be held to account. “There are lots of things we could’ve dealt with; a new water act, we could’ve dealt with the pay hikes at BC Ferries — get its bonuses under control; a plan to deal with liquid natural gas; 1x6-leader net ad.tfn - Composite
Doug Routley wants to be back in the legislature this fall. and clearly, the changes necessary for municipal financing and elections – spending limits and those kinds of things. Routley highlighted education, noting the province has slipped to having the lowest per-student funding in the country and learning conditions, and support in classrooms, particularly for vulnerable students, has become diluted and reduced. He also noted members of the legislative assembly have only sat in the legislature for 36 days so far. “We feel it’s a real insult
to the people of B.C. to imply that there’s no business that needs to be done. Obviously there are huge issues facing our communities, including in Nanaimo, school issues that are driven by a lack of funding and a lack of attention from the government,” Routley said. B.C. Liberal member and Parksville-Qualicum representative Michelle Stilwell said the provincial government recalled the legislature immediately after the election, delivered a throne speech, reintroduced and
passed a budget, conducted ministry estimates and had question period. She said there isn’t always a fall session and this year, the provincial Liberals want to focus on preparing for the February session and a new budget. “MLAs do most of their work in their constituencies,” Stilwell said. “We have an open line to the ministers and to say that we’re not working when the legislature is not sitting is simply wrong. I think there’s important work to be done and MLAs are busy engaging British Columbians.” Stilwell pointed to the development of a new taxation structure for the liquified natural gas industry as something the government will be working on. “MLAs around the province will be working very hard over the course of the next few months and the only thing we won’t be doing is passing more laws in Victoria,” she said.

Arts and culture as far as your senses can sense Cultural contribution: Arts scene here to be honoured or simply enjoyed
E
lsewhere in this morning’s paper you’ll find an ad seeking nominations for the News Leader Pictorialsponsored Perpetual Arts Trophy. Presented through the City of Duncan, it honours an artist, performer, patron, teacher or group that has excelled in promoting arts in the Cowichan Valley. It is also one of the many ways this community celebrates its wonderful, vibrant arts and culture scene. If the latter phrase rings hollow in the same issue we write about the struggles of the Cowichan Folk Guild, Nominate an remember the guild has been staging the Islands Folk Festival for 30 years, artist, check to consistent crowds at or around out our arts 3,000 people. Or, if you are searching for more guide evidence, check the inserts of today’s edition or a variety of local outlets for what has become our annual Arts and Culture Guide. Produced in conjunction with the CVRD’s arts and culture department, the guide is your bible for hundreds of arts and cultural events scheduled for the valley for the next three months and beyond. Basically, it includes listings of all the events that have been brought to our attention — dance, theatre, music, art shows and more. And we can guarantee there will be a slew of other events that will surface as the year proceeds. You’ll find there is something happening virtually every day, thanks to the talented people living in our community and the hard-working arts-lovers who are dedicated to bringing them to stages near you. If you haven’t sampled this scene, you are missing out. Check out what’s available and wonder how the City of Duncan ever decides who to award its honour to.

Seeing both sides of: marsh area development The case against
The case for
Somenos Marsh is an important element of the Cowichan eco-system, but that does not mean it should remain untouched. In fact, the marsh area needs to be massaged and guided in a manner that is in the best interests of the people and properties that surround it. Any line dividing that should and should not be developed is arbitrary, but the new dike will work better than most.
A public forum is being held at the Cowichan Theatre, 7 p.m. tonight to discuss Somenos Marsh.
Freedom and security in a battle on our roads Jay Siska
News Leader Pictorial
I
s it just me, or is the subject of driving becoming more and more of a hotbutton issue? Maybe it’s just what I follow on Facebook and Twitter, but it seems now, more than ever, politicians, the media, advocacy groups and regular-folk alike are sounding off about speeds, policing, roads, safety, you name it. When I share my opinions here — which I frequently do — about the Malahat, bad drivers and low speeds, those columns get far and away more reader response and on-line interaction than any other topic I write about. I’ll usually also get four or five personal emails from people who don’t want to comment publicly, but want to let me know they support my ideas or have additional thoughts of their own.
So maybe it’s not just me. The YouTube video Speed Kills: Your Pocketbook has racked up 1.14 million views in less than three weeks since its release. The 15-minute viral success critiques policing, artificially low speed limits that are routinely ignored by all drivers, and media coverage of issues related to speed and policing. Those of you who haven’t seen it can check it out at the website of the motorists’ advocacy group SENSEBC (sense.bc.ca/). If it’s got wheels, a motor, and some way to steer the thing, we all seem to have an opinion about it — be it positive or negative. The Town of Sidney — in perhaps one of the most laughable ideas in a while — proposed at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities conference that all mobility scooters and power wheelchairs be subject to testing and licensing of their respective drivers.
In point of fact, urban incursion into Somenos Marsh has gone too far already. Decades of attempts to control the flush and flow of the river and 100 years of development pouring its residues into this important ecological landmark have diluted its power and threatened its health. An immovable line must be drawn, and now is the time to draw it.
COWICHAN LEADERS
That proposal, not surprisingly, failed to pass. Also getting scuttled at the UBCM was Victoria Councillors Shellie Gudgeon and Ben Isitt’s pitch to lower the speed limit on residential roads from 50kmh to 40kmh. Apparently, not even the province’s local politicians are willing to go that slow. One traffic proposal did pass at the conference: Penticton’s idea to bring back photo radar — but only in school zones. Surprising? Probably not so much because, hey, think of the children. And despite the UBCM’s backing of the concept, the province is unlikely to enact it as Premier Christy Clark has said there’ll be no return to photo radar as a policing method. So where does that leave us? No one likes to have their driving criticized or overly regulated, but it seems we’re all too willing to dish out the criticism and
some are wanting to regulate piloting a vehicle to a point approaching ridiculous. The pace of everyday life has accelerated exponentially during the past couple decades. We all want to feel relaxed, safe and unencumbered when on the road, but that can mean vastly different things from one driver to the next. There does seem to be a much more open dialogue now than there has been before — and that’s a great thing. But it also seems we’re getting further and further away from reaching a common consensus.

“There’s no simple answer. What are the statistics showing if people evading liquor laws, and to what degree? Are kids carrying liquor in their cars to parties?”

Mentally ill deserve simple human dignity
Let’s help farmers to keep farming
Dear editor The Balme Ayr Farm land has been used for agriculture and been an active dairy in the Cowichan Valley well over 60 years. The surrounding lands in the area have also had trees removed and some have been completely cleared, with the land upgraded and cultivated for different crop production and many multi-purpose uses over the years. Am I now supposed to believe that all of these neighbours no longer support agriculture, work their land or eat and drink any kind of dairy products? I find it hard to believe our local farmers would get so little support from our community. To suggest this family should change its family business to suit someone else’s idea of what should be farmed on agricultural land is unjust. With the closure of more than half the Cowichan Valley’s dairies in the past 10 to 15 years, we as a community should all be more supportive of those dairy farmers still willing to produce for the general public and community as a whole, the dairy products sold in our stores. We have a family milk cow, but I still purchase Island Farms products in our local stores. I do, however, whole heartedly agree with Mrs. Balme, that my cow neither eats trees nor gravel and would hope that my neighbours would not expect her to. Shannon Johnson
In my opinion: Police are contributing to unfair stigma
I
am very concerned about recent developments in mental health. The president of the Association of Police Chiefs, Jim Chu, said police should not be the front line on mental health issues. He said the number of people apprehended under the Mental Health Act inVancouver had more than quadrupled since 2002 to more than 2,600. This should be of concern to everyone. The Canadian Mental Health Association has been using the statistic that one in five people will be diagnosed with mental illness during their lifetime. Most people, if they do not get the diagnosis themselves, will know someone who does. A guide to the B.C. Mental Health Act is pubMaxine Davies lished online. It states — “The main purpose of Royal Canadian Navy Captain Tom Tulloch presents Commanding Officer Commander James Stride of the British the Mental Health Act is to provide authority, Royal Navy (left) with a replica of Duncan’s 10-metre 2012 Centennial Totem.

Fields versus trees in perennial local battle

News Leader Pictorial
L
ike many grandparents in Cowichan, I enjoy watching my grandchildren play Saturday league soccer at the jam-packed Sherman Road fields. In September 1966, soccer fields throughout the district were hard-pressed to keep up with the 300 youngsters then in soccer leagues. In fact, discussion got a mite tetchy as Duncan-Cowichan Chamber of Commerce criticized what it saw as lack of co-operation between Duncan and North Cowichan councils in providing modern playing facilities. Ratepayers would have to adopt the attitude of stern parents to stubborn children before needed changes were made, warned Dick Benzies, chamber vice-president. A major hiccup seemed to be a choice between trees and development, the chamber realized: A dozen of them stood between young soccer players and more playing accommodation for them at Wharncliffe Park. “I suppose you are thinking the same thing about the trees on the mound,” remarked School District 65’s board chairman Will Dobson to Louise Underwood, Indian (sic) Band Council secretary-treasurer and chamber member. “I’m afraid so,” Miss Underwood responded in a reference to planned removal of the mound itself to provide space for a shopping plaza.

t’s always a big deal whenever the Vancouver Canucks stage any kind of community event in the valley. Saturday’s fundraiser for autism is going to be especially huge because it’s actually being staged on a 160-foot barge. “The logistics of this thing are quite staggering,’’ said spokesman Steve Housser. “It’s going nicely — the participation of the Canucks, the cause itself and 10 restaurants with 10 wineries. I think it’s striking a bit of a chord.’’ The Canucks have a passion for autism as a cause because Paolo and Clara Aquilini, owners of the Canucks, have a son with autism and are hoping to broaden their horizons to reach families on Vancouver Island facing the challenges of dealing with the disorder. The fundraiser is at the Mill Bay Marina from noon to 4 p.m. and Seaspan is donating the barge to house most of the action. The themed Sip, Savour and Support — the Best of the Cowichan Valley — event features food and drink samples from the participating restaurants and wineries. Live entertainment is being provided by Juno-nominated blues

guitarist David Gogo and there will be several celebrity guests, including representatives from the Canucks. There will be a silent auction and Cam Drew is conducting a live auction. Tickets are $100 apiece, with $50 eligible for a tax receipt. The event is not yet sold out, Housser said, but is restricted to 300 people, including 50 food and beverage personnel. Essentially, that means a total of 250 tickets are available to the public. Housser said people should check with him (250-732-2322) or the Mill Bay Marina for ticket availability. No tickets are being sold at the function. Autism currently affects one in every 88 children. Leslie Smith of Mill Bay has a 15-yearold son, Gavin, with autism. For her, this means locking doors to prevent him from wandering into danger in a world he doesn’t understand. “How fantastic if there can be a program for children and their families living with autism — together,’’ said Smith in a media release. Dozens of volunteers are coming together to make the event a reality. Proceeds will help create a new threeday family camp for families living with autism in the valley, Victoria and Nanaimo. It will be held next summer for 100 participants.

Jeep club scours Chemainus River Park Tonnes taken: Volunteer efforts key to keeping wilderness playground clean Nick Bekolay
News Leader Pictorial

embers of the B.C. Jeep Club hauled more than two tonnes of scrap metal and trash from Chemainus River Provincial Park during its second annual cleanup and toy run Sept. 14. Cathi Manness, a BCJC global moderator, said this year’s cleanup effort led to the removal of 4,642 pounds of garbage and 650 pounds of scrap metal from the riverside park. On top of its massive cleanup effort, the club raised $330 for the President’s Choice Children’s Charity by cashing in the scrap metal it had collected and combining those funds with donations from BCJC members, and the public. The idea for an annual cleanup originated during the summer of 2012, Manness said, when she noticed the “horrendous amount of garbage” dumped in the park. Manness sought and received sponsorship funding for a cleanup from local businesses before posting the idea to the BCJC’s forum to gauge her fellow four-wheel enthusiasts’ level of interest. The response she received from
courtesy BCJC Local members of the B.C. Jeep Club recently cleaned up more than two metric tonnes of scrap metal and trash from Chemainus River Provincial Park. the club’s 5,000 members was “overwhelming,” Manness explained. What followed was the BCJC’s inaugural cleanup event on Oct. 28 last year. Combining 3,600 pounds of scrap metal and 2,000 pounds of garbage collected by the club in 2012 with the refuse removed this year brings the club’s total contribution to a cleaner park to an astounding 10,892 pounds — just shy of five tonnes. Manness credited the support of numerous Vancouver Island businesses with making the cleanup effort possible, including the following Duncan-based retailers: Karnage FabWorks, Lordco Auto Parts, Mobil 1 Lube Express, Boston Pizza, Walmart, Mr. Mikes, Just Jakes, Bow Mel Chrysler Jeep, Safeway, Coast Environmental and Steel Pacific.

Francis worked in the fire services during WWII and after the war ended, he spent the next 10 years in the forestry industry until moving to Devon, where he started farming.

Did you know that the Cowichan Food Connection, which operates the Bread Van, relies on public donations to FUEL the Van?

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.

her edge. The Cowichan forward pick by Velox was McCulloch for her hard hitting and powerful running. Velox is a Premier level team and the Cowichan ladies played with plenty of heart and never gave up. Cowichan takes on rival Nanaimo this weekend in what’s expected to be an evenly-matched game. Nanaimo lost in the B.C. final in May.

owichan Midget Bulldogs moved to 4-0 in the Vancouver Mainland Football League’s Midget Division with a 24-14 victory over the Giants in Chilliwack. “We came out strong,’’ said Bulldogs’ coach Doug Williams. “We thought it was going to be another blowout.’’ Cowichan slipped a bit after the strong start and that kept Chilliwack in the game. “We were our own worst enemy,’’ said Williams. “It was better we do it now in the season than in playoffs. “There were holes we just couldn’t capitalize on. We were controlling the ball most of the time.’’ The Bulldogs overcame their first long day which was an experience itself. “Getting up early, it was the first road trip for us,’’ said Williams. “I don’t think a lot of the kids were really ready.’’ Cowichan forced a fumble on the opening kickoff and Landon Conville recovered it to set the tone. Liam Palcu-Johnston went on a 45yard scamper to the end zone on the first offensive play. The defence then came up strong with Niko Ceska pulling in an interception and returning it 42 yards. Cowichan’s offense promptly ran a

power to Drayson Price, who ran 20 yards for another TD. Chilliwack started to move the ball better after giving up the two TDs on two plays, but a diving interception by R.J. Piche snuffed out any momentum. Before you knew it, Eric Williams ran down to the one-yard line and Price punched in the team’s third TD. All extra points were missed. Chilliwack got back into the game on an 80-yard interception return for a TD. Chilliwack later got down to the oneyard line after two penalties and scored another TD. Darren Aitchison closed out the scoring on a 10-yard pass catch and 10 more on the run for the TD. Garion Ferguson played a great defensive game with three knockdowns and an interception. Brock Gowanlock was solid again with five tackles, three assists and one hurry. Piche and Kole Lochbaum contributed three tackles and an assist each. Kain Melchior sparked the offense with four catches and 55 return yards. Price finished with 110 yards rushing and Palcu-Johnston added another 84. “The players are getting into tempo now,’’ said Williams. “The practices are getting a lot better. We’ve just got to focus on North Surrey.’’ That game goes at 4 p.m. Sunday at McAdam Park after a Nanaimo Midget game at 2 and Bantam action at noon.

nder 17 and 18 Cowichan Valley Soccer Association girls’ youth soccer squads continued jockeying for position in the seeding stage of the season. The U17 girls played in a downpour at Sherman Road Park’s Martin Field and got off to a quick start but lost 3-2 to Prospect Lake U17. Amber Cook scored mere moments into the game, but chances were hard to come by after that for a while. Prospect went ahead 2-1 at the half and added another before Cook’s second of the game with about 10 minutes left completed the scoring after great work by Christina DeCarlo and Olivia Poirier to set her up. “This is likely the best team we’ll play all year,’’ noted Cowichan coach Greg Poirier. “I think the Prospect Lake quick response to our first goal was a shock to us and it took the girls a while to get back into the game. They probably had more outright chances in the game, but the girls kept battling. “We still have some early-season jitters as we have only been a team for a few weeks. We will only get better as the girls learn to play together.’’ The rain made things a little awkward for the players, Poirier conceded. There were many slips and falls that created some scrappy play, with some girls feeling they were fouled. Things got heated toward the end of the game with Prospect Lake directing its anger at the ref. “I think a good rivalry has started,’’ Poirier indicated. “Hopefully, the girls will continue to play well and we’ll be seeded in the top tier, as I’m sure Prospect Lake will.’’ Meanwhile, the Cowichan U18 Silver girls won their game over Juan de Fuca U18 Silver 3-0 at Juan de Fuca. Caleigh Coels posted the shutout. All the Cowichan goals were scored in the second half, including a Tiara Wakelyn-Enger penalty shot, a Chloe Boon marker and a Juan de Fuca own goal.

Pacific Christian won the tournament, John Barsby came second and host Gulf Islands rounded out the top three. “It was an OK weekend,’’ said Kelsey coach Mark Jackson. “It was a tournament, I thought, if we got to the level we’ve been pushing for, we could win it.’’ But Kelsey got derailed in its first match against Chemainus. After winning the first set 25-8, Chemainus came back to take the next two 25-22, 15-9. “That affected us a lot for the rest of the tournament,’’ said Jackson.

Hips pointer: Injury situation he endured probably wasn’t a good idea Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
T
his isn’t the way Nick Boucher wanted his hockey career to end. But retirement due to injury is the reality for the valley product and former Cowichan Valley Capitals’ netminder. He sat out all of last season with the Fort Wayne Komets of the ECHL and decided a comeback just wasn’t in the cards after enduring arthroscopic surgery on both hips. Boucher, who turns 33 in December, attended Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire after his junior career ended and then went into the Pittsburgh Penguins’ system before becoming a free agent and eventually landing with the Komets. In all, Boucher played nine seasons professionally. “It would have been my 10th year,’’ said Boucher. “It was kind of one thing after the other. A lot of things that had been lingering for a lot of years, I finally took (last) year to go ahead and get things fixed.’’ After the surgeries, “the hips were still not in any kind of shape,’’ Boucher said. “I reached what they called maximum medical improvement. “It got to the point being over 30 years old, it was getting harder and harder to justify doing the damage to my body.’’ Boucher became somewhat of a medical expert through all the injury situations that arose. His plight is not uncommon among goaltenders. “It’s from a butterfly dropping to your knees to make saves,’’ Boucher explained. “I had a lot of cartilage loss in the hip joint. Both hips are arthritic already.’’ Boucher conceded he will need to have a hip replacement at some point in the future. He figures the condition has especially plagued him for perhaps the last two or three years, but he played through it. “In hindsight, it wasn’t too smart.’’ But Boucher has much to be pleased about and to reflect on from his days in pro hockey.
submitted
Butterfly stance by Nick Boucher took its toll after many years and forced the valley netminder to pack it in at age 32. The Komets won four championships in the five seasons he played for the team. “If there’s one thing I’m proud of the most was just my ability in big games to come through,’’ Boucher said. “In elimination games, I was 8-0. “Over the years, you develop that confidence in just being able to handle the pressure. I think I was able to do that.’’ Playing for one of the most storied minor pro hockey franchises in history was an honour for Boucher. “The team’s been here for a 62nd season,’’ he pointed out. “Aside from the Original Six and Hershey, they’re the longest tenured pro hockey team. It’s obviously a very high-profile team in the city.’’ And the team is going to honour him for his service. His No. 33 jersey will be retired on Oct. 26. “I’m kind of sweating the speech and stuff I’ve got to give,’’ Boucher chuckled. “It’ll be quite a night.’’ Boucher is staying in Fort Wayne, Indiana, working as a senior loans officer/mortgage broker at Rouff Homes Mortgage. But he’ll always treasure his days in the Cowichan Valley fondly. “I think about it every time and again when I come home to B.C.,’’ Boucher said. “I’ll see The Stick there and I remember growing up and playing so many games there.’’

Cowichan lawn bowling champions on a roll
Champ of Champs: Two titles and two close calls a great showing against the best of all the south island clubs Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
C
hampions are surfacing left, right and centre at the Cowichan Lawn Bowling Club. The Bowls South Island Champ of Champs tournament held at the Juan de Fuca Lawn Bowling Club really put the Cowichan club on the map to a greater number of people. Club newcomers Jim Nivisen and Wendy Montgomery won their respective novice categories while Phyl Ingram and Tom Slemko narrowly missed adding titles in their singles events. Bowlers first needed to win their club championships for the right to qualify into the competition against club champs from other clubs. Nivisen and Montgomery just joined the Cowichan club in July. Montgomery also happens to be the daughter of Tom and Litza Slemko so she and partner Nivisen obviously benefited from some great lawn bowling experience. The Slemkos originally joined in Juan de Fuca but brought their lawn bowling talents to the valley five years ago. Nivisen displayed amazing skill, completing the competition with a perfect 6-0 record to win his event. Montgomery took her Cowichan club championship one step further in the women’s novice category, tying for top spot and then winning in a playoff.
“Certainly, I was surprised,’’ said Montgomery of her result. “We had some really good coaching. My parents were coaching both Jim and I.’’ Slemko and Ingram almost made it a grand slam for Cowichan. A mere matter of inches separated them from titles. “That’s how close it was,’’ said Slemko. “Then it would have been a clean sweep. No one’s ever done that.’’ Slemko easily could have won it all in his final game, but just fell short and conceded second place wasn’t too bad. Ingram’s considerable skills carried her into a three-way tie and then a tiebreaker declared the winner of the women’s trophy by one point. “They haven’t had a three-way tie before,’’ noted Ingram. “Then they had a mini playoff.’’ Those games were limited to three ends, creating many tense moments. “Good competition,’’ Ingram said was the most memorable part of the experience for her. “It makes you ‘up’ your game.’’ Ingram reiterated she found the challenge of having to first win the championship here at the Cowichan club to be very tough going. “There are some awesome bowlers here in Duncan,’’ she indicated. The stress level of the Champ of Champs event was high for Ingram, who called it a “lose sleep three nights in a row experience. “The competition was of such high calibre with champions from many other clubs convening to battle
for the trophies. Men and women, novice and seasoned, all champion bowlers, competed for up to four days in a row. Some of the games were the tightest I’ve ever had to play. A game I missed was only by one point and it was cut short due to the bell at the 1 1/2-hour time limit. That gives you the gist of the competitiveness.’’ “For a club to do this well in all four categories is a truly remarkable showing against some of the top bowlers from all of the south island clubs,’’ raved Slemko. “Cowichan was well-represented,’’ added Ingram. “Everyone said Cowichan’s doing so good.’’ The rallying cry now is ‘wait till next year.’

Ingram acknowledged it’s tough enough just to win the Cowichan club championship, never mind being among the elite for the entire south island with all the other club champions, but Cowichan did itself proud.

Another fine fall for fungus approaches
Salmon Mushroom Festival: Annual event focuses on some of the delicacies of the Cowichan wilderness Malcolm Chalmers
Lake Cowichan Gazette
D
id you know there is a mushroom that grows here in the Cowichan Valley that is poisonous when consumed with alcohol? It’s coprinopsis atamentaria, more commonly called inky caps or alcohol inky caps. When consumed with alcohol up to three days later it can cause violent vomiting and make you temporarily ill. That is only one of the 200,000 known species of mushroom in North America. Only five per cent of those are considered to be poisonous to humans. Because mushrooms grow many places in the Cowichan Valley and are, for the most part, edible and tasty, and the salmon are running, we have the Salmon Mushroom Festival. Happening Sept. 28 and 29 in Lake Cowichan’s Centennial Hall, it’s billed as a great place to discover new ways to find and enjoy these fungi
and fish. Local mycologist Ingeborg Woodsworth has been searching and identifying mushrooms for more than 50 years. “The Cowichan Valley has such a bounty, such a variety,” she said. There will be mushroom slide shows to help identify species found, and local, guided field trips on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. Also, you can taste delicious soups and other
mushroom and salmon delicacies on site. A market of local arts and crafts, a Cowichan Valley Arts Council display, music and food are all part of the two-day celebration. Woodsworth is excited. “The six First Nations — Penelakut, Lyackson, Stz’uminus, Halalt, Cowichan and Lake Cowichan — people will have an exhibit and may perform at the festival.”she said. Bring a paper bag to the festival with mushrooms you would like to have identified. Admission Saturday and

the Inky Cap can make you ill if ingested with alcohol. Sunday is $2, children get in for free. Register for the field trips on Sunday at Centennial Hall. For more information, phone 250749-6291 or visit SalmonMushroomFestival.com.

O
n Thursday Mill Bay’s Joerg Rosenthal wasn’t feeling well, so his Blipfoto of the day features an artistic shot of a bunch of pill bottles and pills scattered on a
table. That was his 414th photo he’s snapped using the Edinburgh-based online daily photo journal and social networking service allowing people to share pictures and tell their stories one day at a time. He’s been following the Blipfoto, one-shot-aday, mantra for more than a year now. The German-born photographer/print/web designer and social media freelancer’s got much to capture as his day-to-day’s jam-packed busy. Rosenthal rises every morning at the crack of dawn to get to his post as a janitor at Brentwood College School. Afternoons are busy capturing cool shots and working for his design business. And in his free time, the 47-year-old volunteers with the Mill Bay Community League, The Mill Bay-Malahat Historical Society and the Cowichan Intercultural Society. He’s also very much a travelling man, who’s been bit by the bug and has lived among many beautiful landscapes. For almost 2 1/2 years, he travelled across Europe. He then began a backpacking tour through the United States for three months and that’s where he met his wife Julie. The two lived on the East Coast before moving to Mill Bay about a year and a half ago. Windsurfing and running are also favourite hobbies. It’s keeping busy and meeting new people that lights up Rosenthal. And his camera. With more than 15 million page views a month, Blipfoto has a strict rule allowing its users to post
