orth Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP have confirmed the body of a male was located Monday evening in a rural section of property near Duncan. “Police attended and located the body of a male in the bushes,” states North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Jon Stuart in a media release. “As in all deaths of this nature, it is being treated seriously, until the facts of the case can be determined. “At this time the police are still investigating,” he said. Police cruisers were parked along the Friendship Trail, near the Cowichan Commons mall Tuesday afternoon. The new trail acts as a connector path from downtown Duncan to Cowichan Commons. Police said the name of the deceased is not being released at the request of the family.

Chemainus-Crofton connection delayed for another month

hemainus River Bridge’s reopening will take at least five more weeks after earlier hiccups started a domino effect, the project’s contractor explained. North Cowichan council announced Monday the $5-million rural span, between Chemainus and Crofton, won’t be ready until Nov. 25 — a 5 1/2-week delay beyond the previous Oct. 17 opening date. Paul Simpson of Jacob Brothers Construction signalled the later wait basically started back in June. “The main reason the job is delayed was de-

lays in getting the hydro lines moved,” he told the News Leader Pictorial Tuesday. “That created a snowball effect, with some other changes. It’s basically due to relocation of hydro lines.” That work stalled the start of bridge work for about a week after the project was to have begun June 11. Another snag occurred when a bridge worker was electrocuted June 18. He survived. Details about exactly how the near-tragedy happened have not been released. Brass at the nearby Halalt First Nation band

office were taking the bridge’s completion gap in stride — while already dealing with chronic speeders. “At this point (the bridge delay) isn’t a big deal,” said Lonnie Norris, Halalt’s assistantmanager. The longer bridge completion just means more traffic, from the Crofton Ferry and mill, for a longer period on Chemainus Road where the Halalt erected speed-reader board to slow bad drivers, including scofflaws who pass school buses. Norris said the speed-readers aren’t working

“as well as we hoped.” The band has taken its road concerns to B.C. highways’ agents, police, and North Cowichan council. Mayor John Lefebure explained the bridge project is on budget, but delays can happen as timelines are basically a calculated guess. “You estimate how long it will take; it’s impossible to know exactly how long (a job) will take.” Lefebure sympathized with the longer inconvenience to folks using the bridge, but indicated the span is a unique engineering animal that can pose glitches. “I have no indication if (another delay) will happen, and I don’t expect it, but I can’t guarantee it.”

Prevost looking good in early stages of fundraising competition

The online voting is getting down to the nitty gritty and it’s looking good for Ecole Mount Prevost. The Ecole Mount Prevost Parent Advisory Committee applied for an Aviva community grant to fund a unique application for school playground equipment and a multi-use community space. Mona Kaiser, chair of the outdoor classroom committee, reported Tuesday Prevost’s applica-

tion was holding onto fifth place out of 762 entries Canada-wide. “With six days of voting left, we should be guaranteed a spot in the semifinals in December,’’ Kaiser noted. There are additional qualifying rounds from Oct. 21 to Nov. 4 and Nov. 11 to Nov. 25 for those that don’t make the top 30 the first time. Winners will be

announced in January 2014. Kaiser stressed the Prevost entry still needs everyone to vote each day until Oct. 14 and not take anything for granted. Vote at avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf17520. Kaiser added the outdoor classroom committee met Monday to start sketching a plan for the natural play area.

SD79 needs to ﬁnd cash for CUPE raises

Possible HEU strike looms at hospital

Early November: Onus on local boards, with no additional funding from the provincial government Don Bodger

Workers seek mainland parity: Cairnsmore Lodge job action also a possibility

bout 75 Cowichan health-care workers are in a position to strike as negotiations drag with employee Compass Group, their union said Friday. That 98% strike mandate by the Health Employees’ Union was tallied during a vote by island and mainland members, HEU’s Neil Monckton said. Any action would affect housekeeping workers at Cowichan District Hospital facilities, including several members at Cairnsmore Lodge, he told the News Leader Pictorial. HEU’s contract with Compass expired on Sept. 30, 2012. The crux of the talks surrounds wage parity for Compass’ HEU workers with an uplift of about $1 hourly recently reached between HEU members and firms Sodexo and Aramark. “Off the table is an offer of 10 cents an hour more,” he said. “These folks haven’t had a wage increase for at least a year; they prefer to take action.” Island HEU members doing housekeeping work earn about $14.75 an hour, but the living wage is about $18 to $19 for a family of four, noted Monckton. Sodexo (France) and Aramark (U.S.) have settled with HEU workers on the mainland. “They got a $1 an hour over four years (contract) and other improvements,” he noted. Compass agents were unavailable for

A contract dispute between the Health Employees’ Union and the Compass Group — contracted to provide housekeeping services to Cowichan District Hosptial — could lead to job action. comment by press time, while HEU and the employers continued talks about essentialservice levels. “We’re very close. Once we do that, we’ll be in the position to take strike action,” Monckton said of a potential walkout requiring 72-hours notice to employers. He noted the HEU workers were part of some 8,000 fired about 10 years ago during B.C.’s health-care privatization programs. “Some were hired back at about half their wage level; they’re still below what they were 10 years ago.” With less staff, working conditions in medical settings — where Norwalk and

MRSA virus contamination of staff and patients is chronic — concerns HEU brass, he signalled. “Levels of staffing have dropped and that’s really a challenge,” he said, adding some problems getting proper cleaning materials and supplies for housekeepers. Multinationals Aramark, Acciona, Sodexo, Compass, and Compass’ subsidiary Marquise, employ more than 4,400 dietary and housekeeping workers in health care throughout B.C. The four companies posted global profits of more than $3 billion in their past year of reported earnings, an HEU release states.

etting down to the dollars and cents is the next step in the contract agreement reached between the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the B.C. Public Schools Employers’ Association. “We’re actually going to be negotiating in the beginning of November,’’ said president Rob Zver of CUPE Local 606 that represents workers in the Nanaimo and Cowichan districts. “That will give us an understanding how it will look from the local perspective.’’ Zver said bargaining with local boards will take place at the end of October in Nanaimo and Nov. 5 and 6 in Cowichan. With the provincial government declining There seems to be to increase budgets just enough to cover to cover wage worker raises, it’s up to the for this year local boards to find the necessary funding The CUPE agreement calls for wage increases of 3.5% over two years, with 1% retroactive to July 1, another 2% due on Feb. 1, 2014 and 0.5% on May 1, 2014. The agreement expires next June when it’ll be back to square one. Zver said he expects the first year won’t be a problem for Cowichan School District 79 with a small surplus realized at the end of last year. “There seems to be just enough to cover for this year. Next year will be a different story depending on how the government funds. The full impact goes in for next year.’’ The United Steelworkers are part of the same package as the other support union in the district. CUPE positions in the district number around 298 plus 171 casual employees within SD 79. The USW has 120 positions plus 30 casuals. Bargaining must conclude by Dec. 20 for the agreement to take effect.

CVRD launches SIA legal challenge Two-pronged: court stay requested, environmental appeal filed Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

eep dirty dirt out of SIA’s south-end soil-treatment site while we appeal its soil-treatment permit. The Cowichan Valley Regional District’s requested stay of soil dumping was filed last week with B.C.’s Environmental Appeal Board. The CVRD has also launched an EAB appeal about South Island Aggregates’ provincial permit — approved by environment ministry bureaucrat Hubert Bunce in August. “We’re asking the Environmental Appeal Board to issue a stay to prevent SIA from doing any contaminated-soil work until such time as the appeal board has heard the appeal, and rendered a decision,” CVRD Chairman Rob Hutchins’ press release reads. A stay and permit appeal are also being sought by Shawnigan Residents Association lawyers. Those folks — footing their legal bills privately — and the CVRD are co-operating to stop importation of some five million tonnes of fuel-fouled earth from SIA’s yawning quarry treatment pit off Stebbings Road. Residents and regional directors believe the dirty

The CVRD also seeks a B.C. Supreme Court ruling on if the provincial permit must have considered regional zoning that doesn’t allow soil treatment in the pit. “We feel we have no option but to pursue this matter on legal grounds,” Hutchins says of taxpayer legal action. “We can leave no stone unturned in our efforts to protect the drinking water of thousands of people in Shawnigan Lake.”

Eco-critic demanding water-act revamp SIA quarry: Spencer Chandra Herbert hears local water worries as CVRD, citizens prepare permit fight Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

A stand of towering old-growth trees along the Koksilah River is the target of conservationists who want to save it from logging.

Critic awed by Koksilah trees Tree-lovers hope: meetings scheduled for this month can help see old-growth stand protected Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

ncient trees in the Koksilah River could be a step closer to preservation after a recent visit by the NDP’s environment critic and Cowichan’s MLA. Spencer Chandra Herbert, and Warm Land member Bill Routley toured the stand recently with Warrick Whitehead, a valley citizen with a long history of trying to get Koksilah’s old growth stand saved. Chandra Herbert was impressed — especially with the potential tourist value of the towering cedars, firs and hemlocks would offer the valley if taxpayers — through the provincial or Cowichan regional board — bought the acreage from TimberWest. “In my meeting with Warrick Whitehead, I learned there will be a meeting

in early October about that land,” the Vancouver-West End MLA told the News Leader Pictorial. “It’s early days to predict who will do what,” he said of the ancient forest many Cowichanians have wanted set aside as parkland for years. That parkland could spell tourist bucks from folks such as the Ontarians the trio met while on their tour, Chandra Herbert signaled. He cited income from recent protection of the West Coast’s ancient Avatar Grove. “Avatar Grove’s protected and Port Renfrew’s chamber is using it as a tourist draw. In many areas, like the Cowichan Valley, we could also say ‘We have our own big-tree park,’ and that could be very significant for the tourism part, especially because people are often travelling now to see nature.” Chandra Herbert has the environmental resume to brainstorm about Koksilah’s trees. Before becoming an MLA, he was elected to the Vancouver Parks Board. He served as a parks commissioner between 2005 and 2008, and was then a member of the Coalition of Progressive Electors.

ater is life and B.C.’s water act should be revamped to reflect that need, NDP’s environment critic signalled after seeing where imported contaminated soil could pollute Shawnigan Lake’s water supplies. “We need to be looking at the role of community leaders in protecting their own water,” MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert said recently after touring near a massive quarry where South Island Aggregates Ltd. has a provincial permit to dump and treat five million tonnes of fuel-fouled earth. To Chandra Herbert, that permit — recently issued by Victoria,

against stiff local protest — is a textbook case of how the water act isn’t protecting water sources. “The Liberals have basically deleted democratic community control of water supplies, and (ignored) local leaders who say water is vital to life. “We need a higher degree of protection for water than for some other goods. We can’t eat money or gold, but water allows us to have salmon. “It’s the key to life, aside from air of course.” His observations followed visiting near the quarry, off Stebbings Road. “We also looked at the creek, and talked to residents who are extremely concerned. “I could see worry on their faces about what to do with their water if it should become contaminated — pretty shocking stuff.” Shocking enough that the Shawnigan Residents Association and the Cowichan Valley Regional District are working with respective lawyers to appeal the permit, and demand a soil-import stay,

during the appeal through B.C.’s Environmental Appeal Board. “It shows the need for a modernized water act,” he said, lamenting the Liberals’ closure of legislative debate until the new year. Bruce Fraser, Shawingan Lake’s director, said CVRD lawyers are talking with SRA’s lawyers to ensure maximum legal strength for the two-prong permit attack. While that permit was being mulled this summer by environment ministry bureaucrat Hubert Bunce, CVRD lawyers began building their Supreme Court challenge concerning SIA’s improper zoning to treat contaminated soil. SIA’s pit is zoned F-1 (forestry). Under CVRD bylaws, it needs a special zone to treat dirty dirt. “We can invoke a (zoning) bylaw,” Fraser said of the legal complexities, “but unless the province isn’t prepared to trump us, it may not work. It’s not a clear-cut case of CVRD zoning prevails.” Chandra Herbert was dismayed Shawnigan folks are “left to fight the government from their own pockets.”

Shawnigan top cop moving to Island District headquarters Human resources: New role for RCMP Sgt. Rob Webb, with a replacement to be named soon

“I recognize that I was and am very fortunate to have been able to return to the community I grew up in and essentially be the sheriff of Shawnigan/sheriff of South Cowichan.’’ Webb will not be breaking ties with the valley entirely. He’s going to continue living in the area. “I look forward to remaining here in the Cowichan Valley,’’ he indicated. “I have learned a great deal in my time here. “Unfortunately, too much tragedy, however, I made many new friends, renewed old acquaintances since I have been back.’’ Webb reserved a special thanks for all emergency services personnel, and especially all the volunteer fire departments, for such extraordinary dedication above and beyond the call of duty. As for Webb’s replacement, he hinted an announcement will be made soon and little or no disruption should occur.

Time right for some leadership in education

School system: Government has been passing responsibility to school boards for too long

e can see some logic in one of the overarching principles of the B.C. Liberals approach to education. It is true the province cannot afford to bankroll the system in complete disregard for declining enrollment numbers; some form of consolidation is more than prudent, it’s necessary. What is completely asinine, however, is the way the government has handed communities across the province a brand-new expense without giving CUPE raise them the proper tools to deal with it. We are referring, of course, to the with no funddeal the provincial bargaining agent ing typical for B.C.’s school districts just struck with support staff workers. The deal — which calls for raises of 3.5 % over two years is hardly ridiculous, given the cost of living is likely to go up 4 % during that same period. Yet the province has left it up to the local school districts — which rely almost entirely on government per-student grants to operate — to find that money. And the money will be found in the same places it has always been found under the Liberal tenure: school closures, program cutbacks, decreased maintenance and layoffs. It’s time the province stopped treating school districts like prodigal sons on fixed allowances. It’s time it started taking some responsibility and provided some leadership. Part of that is providing some direction on where school districts should be headed and the resources necessary to pay for what has happened and what has to happen. The cycle has been spiralling downward for more than a decade. Step up and help turn this thing around.

We say:

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

This we like

For 15 years, the Tour de Rock team has been ﬂying down the spine of our island in a bid to help children and families stricken with cancer. And for 15 years, communities like ours have responded. One of the underappreciated aspects of the tour is the way it inspires children to step up for their peers. The tour is a gift that inspires a future generation of givers.

Shawnigan students went pink for Tour de Rock.

Attention shoppers: tantrum on aisle six Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

rocery store tantrums. They’re not uncommon, but they weren’t really talked about as much as they have been recently. One particular scenario was spread all over social media: talk radio host and blogger Matt Walsh posted about sticking up for a mom. To make a long story short, Walsh felt compelled to speak up for a mom whose child was having a fit when another shopper made a snarky comment to her. The other shopper had also approached Walsh minutes earlier telling him he was a fan of his radio show. “I guess you thought we were friends, you thought you could confide in me your deepest thoughts. You glanced toward the mother

and the kid, then at me, rolled your eyes and said in a loud voice: ‘Man, some people need to learn how to control their f**king kids.’” Walsh’s experience got me and many others moms thinking. What if my Jack was having a tantrum bigger than one of those kids in TLC’s Toddlers and Tiaras? Before I became a mom, I would have probably wanted to book it out of there. If I was a bystander, I wouldn’t have shook my fist or sneered, but I might have thought something like, ‘Wow, they don’t have much control,’ or, ‘That kid’s sure a bugger.’ Now that I’m a mom, my reaction both as a parent and bystander would be completely different. As a passerby, I’d probably give a sympathetic smile. As momma bear, I’d stick to my guns, try to ignore the fit, and if it didn’t stop, maybe crouch to their level and say something like,

Construction timelines are just estimates. The Chemainus River bridge on Chemainus Road is a valued, but non-essential piece of community infrastructure. And you know what they say about the best-laid plans. Still, when a four-month project turns into nearly six, taxpayers have a right to complain.

COWICHAN LEADERS

‘Look at how silly you look. You’re not getting your way and everyone’s watching, so please stop.’ Or maybe I’d do what my dad did to me on the bus ride to our hotel when all I wanted was to head straight to Disneyland, and say, ‘If you don’t stop, I’m going to make you sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in front of everyone on this bus.’ I was shy, so it worked. Circling back to my pre-parent thoughts about grocery store tantrums, I didn’t have a clue then about how parenting works. I didn’t know no matter how patient and loving you are as a parent, transferring that aura to your children takes time. I’ve never met a child, no matter how typically well-behaved they are, who hasn’t taken a trip to meltdown city. Or as Walsh states, “toddlers are notorious

for losing their cool at the most inconvenient times. Nobody likes to hear it, but it happens.” If you practice patience, it will eventually pay off. But I’m sure it’s going to take a few episodes, however, before your children realize that’s not how we roll. Just keep calm and shop on. Eventually mid-shop tantrums will become few and far between. And finally, if I was to ever pass that radio dude Matt Walsh in the produce section, I’d definitely slap him a high-five.

Opportunity here to build something special at Prevost

Sign petition against gravel pit on farmland

Dear editor I just signed the petition “ALC, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Energy and Mines: Say no to Application No. 2-C13ALR - Balme Ayr Farms’’ on Change.org. It’s important. Will you sign it too? I really think that we have to work toward being able to feed the island and gravel pits don’t do it. The Balmes say “gravel does not grow grass” but right next to their gravel Pedrosa asparagus farm is doing just that — “growing grass” and it looks lush. I have been there and saw it myself. Vera Evans

Firefighting recruitment drive will continue Recruitment and retention: Event kickoff to be reinforced with a more localized push

Malcolm Chalmers

News Leader Pictorial

nly half of the six participating volunteer fire rescue departments attended the Sept. 29 Recruitment Drive Kick Off open house at Sahtlam Fire Hall. And no new firefighters were

Andrew Leong

recruited. That said, Honeymoon Bay fire chief Keith Bird still feels it was a good start to their recruitment and retention program. “It was directed towards politicians and businessmen, prominent people who could sway people’s opinions,” Bird said. “MP Jean Crowder, several area directors from the CVRD and a few dignitaries attended; there could have been more.” With only a small number of people attending, none of the fire halls found any new recruits at this

open house. Bird was not particularly surprised or disappointed. He said he expects his department’s new members will come from a more localized push. “In a small community it’s the local push that you get your members from,” he said. “What I need is people walking in my door.” He says the group — which also includes the Malahat, Sahtlam, Youbou, Mesachie Lake and North Oyster departments — will be holding another one in the future and hopes to attract more members of the public. At the end of Fire Prevention week — which runs from Oct. 6 to 13, Bird hopes to have a fire truck parade. He wants to invite the other Lake Cowichan area VFD’s to participate to close off Fire Prevention week. The event is very tentative — with all details still needing to be worked out. But he envisions it to be similar to what Duncan and North Cowichan do.

Getting your Halloween scare on with the right dose of style

Silver linings Cowichan woman creating wearable art from old silverware

Several ways you can go: depending on your aim and your mood Eliza Faulkner

News Leader Pictorial

t’s that time of year again. The mornings are cool, the air is crisp, and once again you find yourself rummaging through the closet for something to wear to next week’s Halloween party. Here’s a refreshing take on costumes; whether you’re artistic, lazy, or you just want to embarrass your teen, there’s something here for everyone: 1. If you want to show off your artistic skills: Go crazy with the facepaints and channel a Day of the Dead look. In Mexico, Dia de Los Muertos (as it’s known in Spanish), is a traditional Mexican holiday celebrated on the first of November. It’s when families and friends gather

to remember those who have died. With heavily painted faces reminiscent of skeletons and traditional Mexican clothing, people march the streets. All this look requires is some facepaint, creativity, and a very steady hand. 2. If you want to scare your parents: The girl’s been in the news enough for her scandalous antics and barely-there outfits and what better way to scare your parents than to dress up as Miley Cyrus herself. This look requires confidence, white spandex, red lipstick, and perhaps (if you can get your hands on it) a wrecking ball. Trust me, your parents will be scared. 3. If you want to scare your teenager: Dress up as a hipster.

Your Halloween scares can be Day of the Dead traditional, left, or Miley Cyrus, current.

Not very fashionable but I am very glad to have it. To be stylish one must always: Care about what you wear and how it makes you look.

Lock up the silverware Mimi Roy: Cowichan jeweller creating wearable art from classic kitchenware Eliza Faulkner

News Leader Pictorial

n Island Style Q&A with local jewelry designer Mimi Roy: What is your business and what inspired you to start making jewellery? My business is all about upcycling vintage platters, trays and plates into one-of-a-kind jewelry and accessories. I have been creating since I was a little girl. I had a feather earring business when I was 15. I have always loved working on small intricate objects so jewelry making just felt right. As soon as I sawed through my first piece of metal and lit the torch, I was hooked. Where are you located? I have a wonderful new home studio in Cobble Hill. I can be found most Saturdays at the Duncan Farmer’s Market. My jewelry can also be found in some lovely shops in the Cowichan Valley, Victoria and the West Coast. I have an on-line store on Etsy, where I sell throughout the world. What is it that you design and who are

your customers? I design and create earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings and shawl pins. I am starting to create jewelry for men as well. I am always working on new fresh designs. I have an exciting new design concept in the works that I will launch shortly. My customers are of all ages. I was a little concerned that some of my customers that owned, used and cherished their silver plated tea sets, serving trays and plates would not appreciate how I transformed these forgotten treasures, but the response has been more than positive. Everyone loves the idea that I upcycle these antique heirlooms. I am thrilled when a customer allows me to transform their family heirlooms into custom jewelry for the women in the family who really have no interest in inheriting them as they are. What kinds of materials do you use and where do you make your jewelry? Vintage silver platters, trays and plates. Some dating back to the early 1900’s. I also use copper and brass pieces. In my hunt for gently used treasures in thrift stores and garage sales I found that copper and brass vintage pieces were much harder to find so I learned a technique called metal etching. I can replicate some of the gorgeous designs that are found in the silver plates onto brass and copper. Where are your products sold? Fabrications, Radway, Leola’s Studio,

Finding the Look

Equine Emporium Clothes for Fashion and Function

courtesy Mimi Roy

Mimi Roy has managed to turn her passion for crafting jewelry into her full-time job.

House of Hayday, Coast Collective, Reflecting Spirit Gallery (Tofino and Ucluelet), Duncan Farmer’s Market, Christmas shows, Etsy. What is the price range? I have rings for $10, up to $125 for necklaces and bracelets. What are some of your favourite designs and styles right now? All my designs are my favourite; they are all one of a kind so I never get bored. I definitely form a bond with all my pieces because I put love, passion and creative energy into each piece. I am always thrilled to create pieces for art shows such as the Cowichan Valley Fine Arts Show, Coast

Collective Arts Shows and the Sooke Fine Arts Show because it allows me to ‘ push the limits’ in wearable art. What are your aspirations for the business? Well, I always admired people who have decided to quit their day jobs and do what they love, follow their heart and go at it 100%. I always wondered how they could do that, how could it be possible. How could I do that. I had one foot in the boat and one on the dock and I know I cannot do the splits anymore, so I have just taken that leap. I now know that when one believes in themselves and what they do enough to leave the security of the regular paycheck and pour all their energies into the dream and passion, great things happen. It is happening.

Zombie Love Story: Ballet Victoria welds the classic Giselle to the tale of Dr. Frankenstein’s monster Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

gory love story creeps through Ballet Victoria’s cutting-edge world premiere of Frankenstein next week in the Cowichan Theatre. In time for Halloween, dancing choreographer Paul Destrooper and nine dancers stitch together pieces of the classic Frankenstein story, and the tragic Giselle ballet — subtitled A Zombie Love Story. The result, he explained, is a Gothic production, plus some black humour, that would make morbidly creative movie maker, Tim Burton, proud. “The classical ballet of Giselle is the original zombie ballet — it’s about women who died before they got married and are scorned by their fiance or lover, and died a tragic death,” said Destrooper. Original choreography is set to music from selected composers Shostakovich, Beethoven and Verdi, plus an homage to Adolphe Adam’s score of the ballet Giselle, which BV has never staged. Frankenstein’s costumes basically follow “the look of the corpse dress, so you see courtesy Ballet Victoria skeleton parts of the body,” said Amanda Radetzky and Paul Destrooper bring the legend of Frankenstein’s monster to the Cowichan Theatre stage Destrooper. Oct. 18. The monster will sport a

deathly pale demeanor, and a scarred body, he explained. Act one sees Dr. Frankenstein (Eric Hall) making his creature (Matthew Cluff) in the lab — to Mrs. Frankenstein’s (Amanda Radetzky) revulsion — using body parts unearthed by Igor (Destrooper) in a cemetery. One implanted organ is the heart of a young groom from the grave, “and he’s the groom for the corpse bride (Andrea Bayne),” said Destrooper. Their reunion happens in a dream sequence through “the link they have with the heart.” “My character emulates Giselle,” said Bayne. “I’m trying to get across to the audience my love is left at the altar; my husband has died, and I just want to see him again, and that’s Frankenstein (the monster).” Act two infuses ghostly Giselle elements, as the monster flees the lab after accidentally killing Mrs. F. Frankenstein runs to the cemetery where all his body parts originated. The corpse bride and her zombie clan recognize pieces of Frankenstein and accept him, Destrooper explained, digging into the ballet’s morals. “The monstrous creature was created by mankind, but he has redeeming qualities. “Mankind creates things without thinking of the

consequences: some for good, like medicine; or for evil, like weapons.” Bayne and Cluff said BV’s Frankenstein offers something for everyone. “As a dancer,” said Cluff, “it’s really challenging to explore the physical movement as a creature, and make it balletic at the same time with ballet technique. “There are lots of moments when Dr. Frankenstein creates me where it’s a lot more acting, and stiff walking, than dancing — but in act two there’s more dancing as the creature evolves. “The creature loosens up a bit, but it’s still the monster.” Bayne found getting the story’s drama across was challenging, but “technical aspects of the second act are extremely high.” The magic’s in the intertwined tales, she explained. “People who love the classics will recognize some of the characteristics of Giselle in the second act; people who love Paul’s choreography will see that in the first act.” The moral, explained Cluff, is to listen to your heart. “If you want something really badly, things can ultimately work out for the both of you.”

KELLERMAN, Dorothy Iris (Fort) June 15,1925 - Sept 28,2013 at Cowichan District Hospital It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our loving wife, mom, grandma and greatgrandma, Iris, known to those closest to her simply as â€œMaâ€?, peacefully on September 28, 2013 at the age of 88. Iris fought many battles with her health during her lifetime. Her love of life and her family gave her the unparalleled strength to fight a valiant fight. She is predeceased by her parents, Emile Fort and Nina Brockman, and her sons-in-law Albert (Iggy) Fothergill and Austin Holman as well as her faithful companions--her dogs, Eyore and Little Joe. Survived by her husband of 57 years, Victor, and children Ronnie (Richard), Pat (Shauna), Rebecca (Steve) and Lindy-Lou (Doug); grandchildren Todd, Alisa, James, April, Stacey, Cody, Carley, Sam, Dustin, Dane, Sadie, Luke, Caitlin, Frank and Rachel as well as 18 great-grandchildren. Iris was so proud of her large family and never missed an opportunity to brag about them. Her wallet was always bulging with photos. Iris was born an only child in Nanaimo, B.C. and moved to Port Alberni at the age of 18 to work in the plywood mill there. Upon moving to the Cowichan Valley many knew her as a waitress at the old â€œGreenhaven CafĂŠâ€? in Duncan. She later moved to Lake Cowichan and from there to Youbou where her and Victor raised their family and lived for the next 55 years. Iris loved nature and the outdoors, especially the sun and the water. She enjoyed long walks with her dogs (the late Eyore and Little Joe and, more recently, with grandson, Dustinâ€™s, dog, Chance.) One of her favorite activities was to drive down to â€œthe footâ€? and have a sub at Subway or a Teenburger at A&W or her favorite Hazlenut Latte (with lots of whipped cream) at the new Tim Hortonâ€™s. She was an avid sun-worshipper and was known for her deep, year-round tan, the result of being found, more often than not in summer, basking in the sun on her favorite beaches at Pine Point and Maple Grove. She eagerly awaited her first swim of the year in Cowichan Lake on the 24th of May. Iris was well-known for her superior cooking and baking and always â€œcooked for an armyâ€?. No one ever left hungry. Her adage in life was â€œmore is better â€œ. Everything was always home-made until her declining health forced her to make some concessions. An all-encompassing love for animals and their well-being led to her staunch support of the SPCA, Cowichan Cat Rescue and other organizations and she had many â€œpetsâ€?, both domestic and not-so-domestic from the bear she fed that climbed through her bedroom window one day to the many raccoons (who she affectionately called her â€œcooniesâ€?) who would wait patiently at her patio door and the hummingbirds (her â€œhummersâ€?) who came by the dozens to feast from the numerous feeders she tirelessly re-filled. They will all miss her kindness. We would like to thank the many doctors, nurses, specialists, care-aides and physic teams who cared so compassionately for Iris during her last months at Cowichan District Hospital, Cairnsmore Place and Cowichan Lodge. Know that you all made her feel special and loved during this last stage of her life. Avery special, big thank-you to Dr. Stacey McDonald for her unflagging support, honesty, understanding, patience and excellent medical care. You are everything a doctor should be and more. We were so fortunate to have you to care for Iris! Even though we know you were tired and it was time for you to go, mom, we are so very, very sad to have to say good-bye, but we take comfort in knowing that you are once again on the lake where you so loved to be and have been re-united with your faithful companions Eyore and Little Joe who have been waiting patiently there for you. Your absence in our lives has left a large void which will take time to heal but we know that you are now at peace. You have taught us all to be strong and to never give up. There will be no formal service at Irisâ€™ request. Her wish was to be cremated and for her ashes to be taken on the wind and spread over the waters of Cowichan Lake at Mcneilâ€™s Beach which holds so many fond memories for her from all the years we spent camping there. This will take place in the Spring of 2014 with a Celebration of Life to follow. An announcement will be made closer to that time. Donations may be made in Irisâ€? name to the SPCA. As mom would always say â€œFollow Your Dreamsâ€? and â€œGod Blessâ€?. In memory of Iris please be kind to animals and enjoy the beauty of nature. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Â He is survived by his father, Quinby, and predeceased by his mother, Ruth, and has many, many nieces,/nephews and grand nieces/nephews. Les grew up in the valley heavily involved in sports both playing and coaching, and was a huge influence in the lives of many. Â He was very involved in the lives of his children and could be seen cheering them on the sidelines, or running a sound board for his sonsâ€™ band. Â Â â€œWe love you and miss you so much. Â You were the best father and husband anyone could ever ask for; you were our rock, and you will never be forgotten. Â Lana, Miranda & Coltonâ€? A Celebration of Life will be held at Mellor Hall, Cowichan Exhibition Grounds, Friday, Oct 11 at 2:00 pm. Â In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Les Mann Memorial Fund at the CIBC Duncan for the benefit of Â Cowichan Junior Field Hockey.

DEATHS SOMERVILLE, William Arthur June 3, 1924 to Sept. 28, 2013 Bill was born in Montreal and moved to Winnipeg at a young age. He was the only son in a family of 5 sisters. He will be loving remembered by his wife of 65 years Isabel, his daughter Catherine, son Jim and wife Allison, granddaughter Jolene and husband Marshall and great granddaughters Kendell, Sydney and Jordan.

He attended Gordon Bell High School and then joined the Navy for WW2 as a Communicator and took part in the D Day Invasion at Gold Beach. He had varied careers with CN Rail, Duncan and District Credit Union, Pat Bay Cadet facility and Inland Security but the true joy of his life was his involvement in all of his extracurricular activities - Royal Canadian Sea Cadets, Navy League of Canada, the Legion, the Masonic Lodge and all its concordant bodies, the Shrine, the United Church AOTS and the Royal Naval Association. Bill embraced all of these organizations with commitment, enthusiasm, pride and a desire to serve. He made everyone feel welcome and important in his life and was always interested in hearing the stories and remembering the details. Everyone who was lucky enough to cross his path was enriched by his friendship. A Funeral Service and Celebration of Life will take place on Friday, October 11, 2013 at Duncan United Church, 246 Ingram Street at 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Shriners Hospitals for Children. Online condolences may be made at www.hwwallacecbc.com

game against a seemingly much weaker opponent could have been disastrous for Cowichan LMG Pringle. Prospect Lake only had one shot on the Cowichan goal during a Div. 1 Island Soccer League encounter in Victoria Saturday, but itâ€™s one that usually counts way more often than not. With Cowichan leading 1-0, Prospect was awarded a mystifying penalty kick but goalkeeper Joel Wilson made the save to preserve the lead and his flawless goals against record. Cowichan went on to a 3-0 victory and Wilson posted his fourth consecutive shutout to start the season. â€œThe soccer gods came through,â€™â€™ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin after the penalty shot called by the referee had players on both sides shaking their heads. Cowichan players were shocked at an apparent foul by Jesse Winter in the box and Prospect team members couldnâ€™t believe their good fortune. But, instead of being a tie with Cowichan having difficulty finding the net, the momentum went back the other way and Steve Scott scored two late goals, including one on a nifty unselfish pass by Kevin Jones. Dan Citra scored the other goal late in the first half with a header on a scramble. â€œWe came out playing good, dominating the play,â€™â€™ said Martin. But Cowichan couldnâ€™t convert anything despite nearly a dozen corner kicks until Citraâ€™s marker in the 39th minute. â€œWe were all over them,â€™â€™ said Martin. Tyler Hughes arrived late from coaching youth soccer and went into the game as a second-half substitute. Cowichan

kept pressing, but to no avail, and then players thought it might not be their day when the penalty shot was called. But Cowichan took its third victory with one tie in four games for a firstplace tie with Lakehill, with a game in hand. â€œWe had a good game,â€™â€™ said Martin. â€œIt could have been not good if that penalty shot goes in.â€™â€™ Cowichan battles arch-rival Saanich Fusion Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Ladysmith Turf as part of a doubleheader following Div. 2 Cowichan United action against Prospect Lake at 5:45. The Fusion is coming off a 2-1 loss to Vic West and Bays United Liquor Plus also went down to defeat against Nanaimo so that leaves Cowichan in an ideal position to put some distance between itself and the other league powers. â€œThatâ€™ll be a big test for us, for sure,â€™â€™ said Martin of the Fusion game. â€œWe always have very tough, close games with them.â€™â€™ United, meanwhile, ran its winning streak to three by defeating Westcastle 3-2. With Jason Ovans hurt and Matt Fitzgibbon out of the starting lineup, it was a different look for the Cowichan team. John Shah, the leading scorer in the league, put Westcastle into the early lead. Jordan Crocker then made his presence felt in his season debut, scoring off a Jacob Ready shot. Westcastle went ahead again on a Shah penalty shot, but Cowichan pulled out the win in the late stages. Justin Horne notched the equalizer and, with four minutes left, Ready sent a long ball to Robbie Martin, who slotted itl past the â€˜keeper. â€œIt was an epic comeback but our hard work keeps giving us opportunities,â€™â€™ noted Cowichanâ€™s player-coach Neall Rowlings.

I would say we started in earnest a year in advance.â€™â€™ Baker was joined on the trip by other club rowers Pat Durose, Linda Milne, Regina Montag, Ruth Rutledge, Dave Symonds and Ric Tull. The weather added another element to the challenge. â€œIt was smokinâ€™ hot, Iâ€™ll tell you that much,â€™â€™ said Baker. The competition, of course, was rather strong. â€œI was scared to death of the Russian women,â€™â€™ quipped Baker.

Bad timing for broken wrist

Dawn Coe-Jones: Cowichan Lake athlete excited to be a member of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame

On the rise: Improved play brings two victories in three games Don Bodger

awn Coe-Jones had to miss her most recent moment in the spotlight. Coe-Jones was inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame on Sept.19, but was unable to attend the ceremony due to an unfortunate injury. “I fell and broke my wrist when I was home in Honeymoon Bay on Aug. 9, and had surgery on the 20th,” said Coe-Jones. “My doctor said not to travel, so I was unable to attend, which was a huge bummer for me.” Coe-Jones was named to the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame 10 years ago. But joining a list of athletes that reaches out of her field of expertise is a different kind of exciting. “I’m very honoured and humbled to be included in an all-sports hall of fame. I’m in the Canadian and B.C. Golf Hall of Fame, but to be included with other athletes and other business people within B.C. sports was quite a thrill for me,” said Coe-Jones. “A lot of the other athletes that were inducted, and those in the past, I followed their careers — so it was quite a thrill for me to be included in that group.” Though Coe-Jones couldn’t attend the induction ceremony, she had friends who did, and sent emails and photos as things were happening, “but it certainly didn’t replace

Coe-Jones still plays on the Legends tour for golfers over 45, but due to her recent injury, she will be missing a large portion of this year’s events. “Unfortunately for me, the brunt of the schedule is in September and October so I’m missing out on six back-to-back events. So I guess I’m going to be watching from the sideline, and working on therapy to get back into it,” said Coe-Jones. “Hopefully, I’ll get back and play competitively again, but there’s no guarantee. The doctor is optimistic that I’ll be able to get back and play.” Coe-Jones said the same positive philosophy that fueled her successful career applies to her current situation. “There’re ebbs and flows, and peaks and valleys in anything you do. You try to get out of the valley as quick as you can, and ride the high when it’s going,” said Coe-Jones. “I think basically I just tried to have fun while I

was out there, and enjoy myself.” The doctor told Coe-Jones she could start chipping and putting after six weeks, and possibly start hitting balls again in three months. “Hopefully by the new year I will be back hitting balls, and having no problems and issues.” Coe-Jones, who spends most of her time in Florida, still tries to make it to Honeymoon Bay in the summer each year where she has a small cabin, and she also likes to attend a junior tournament she hosts each year at March Meadows Golf Course where she started her career. “I’d like to thank everybody in Lake Cowichan that has supported me over the years. I played 25 years on tour, and I’ve been a professional for 30 years now,” said CoeJones. “Being from a small town you get a lot of encouragement and support, so thanks to anybody out there who’s ever cheered for me.”

hat slow start to the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season is ancient history, long forgotten by the players. The Kerry Park Islanders continued their much-improved play with a pair of victories in three games last week, beating the Braves 5-2 in Saanich Friday and the Peninsula Panthers 4-2 at Kerry Park Arena Saturday after losing a tough 3-2 decision to Westshore last Wednesday at Victoria’s Bear Mountain Arena. The Islanders have now begun to close in on the .500 mark at 4-6-1. They’re still last in the five-team South Division, but only three points out of second and gaining ground fast. “We won back-to-back against two teams ahead of us in the standings,’’ raved goaltender Jackson Jane. “Everyone just worked hard, played our systems, played the game plan, moved the puck. “We have enough guys who can put the puck in the net. We’ve just got to keep them out of our end.’’ Jane has also been coming into his own after a late return to the team following summer work. “The last three weeks I’ve played better,’’ said Jane. “This last week, I felt a lot better yet.’’ Backup Leighton Williams is also getting better with every outing. “We get along well and we’re competitive with each other and we joke around and stuff,’’ said Jane. Cody Short (2), Braeden Cross, Corey Peterson and Francis Lapierre-Slicer scored in the win over the Braves. The Alex combination — Milligan with three and Bilodeau with one — scored in the Panthers’ game.

owichan Valley Capitals’ goalie Robin Gusse has been around long enough to understand a very important thing about junior

hockey. “Don’t go too high when you win,’’ Gusse said. “Don’t go too low when you lose. It’s kind of a learning process.’’ For an almost totally-revamped Caps’ squad in the B.C. Hockey League, that’s certainly the case. The team’s just naturally going to have some ups and downs. The Caps started the weekend well by winning 3-1 over the Clippers in Nanaimo Friday night, but then dropped a pair at home to two high-flying teams, the 8-1 Powell River Kings and the 8-21 West Kelowna Warriors. The Kings beat the Caps 5-2 Saturday night and the Warriors opened up a 6-1 lead on the Caps before the midway mark Sunday afternoon and that’s the way the game ended at Cowichan Arena. “It’s not what we wanted,’’ said Gusse. “We’re not expecting to play below .500 obviously.’’ Gusse played in goal against Nanaimo and backstopped the team to victory with 32 saves. The Caps got goals in the first minute of the game from Steen Cooper and the last minute of the opening period from Daniel Wanner. Nanaimo closed the gap on a Brendan Taylor goal in the last minute of the second period, but couldn’t beat Gusse again and Colton Kehler provided huge insurance for the Caps by scoring on the power play with 8:17 remaining in regulation time. The Caps also got the jump on Powell River the next night with valley product Jordan Topping’s first BCHL goal three minutes into the second period.

The Kings came back with two goals 31 seconds apart by Drew Dorantes and Luke Nogard to take the lead. Nogard struck again in the third and Patrick Arnold found the net for the Caps to keep the game close until Ryan Scarfo put it away on a late power play and Dorantes added an empty-netter for his second goal of the game. Gusse turned away another 28 shots and then started on the bench against West Kelowna in favour of understudy Francis Marotte. The Caps opened the scoring again when Cooper feathered a perfect cross-ice pass to Dane Gibson and he hammered it in. That’s where the good news ended, as West Kelowna’s vaunted attack went to work, starting with a last-minute first-period power play goal by Jason Cotton. The Caps took a couple of penalties late in the first and early in the second and the Warriors cashed in with two power play goals. Despite Marotte’s best efforts, the score reached 5-1 by 7:17 of the second and he was pulled, bringing Gusse back into the net. It took West Kelowna only a minute and a half to score another goal on Gusse, but he shut the door after that to prevent the game from becoming a serious blowout. “I think we still gave an effort there in the third,’’ said Gusse. But he conceded after the weekend, “we have to adjust a couple of things.’’ Gusse remained supportive of Marotte for doing his best against the Warriors’ onslaught. “It’s my role,’’ Gusse said. “I’m trying to be as helpful as I can be with him. “We get along pretty easy. We’re both from Quebec.’’ The Caps face the lowly Alberni Valley Bulldogs Friday at 7 p.m. at Cowichan Arena and then return to Nanaimo for another game against the Clippers Saturday.

Football showdown looming Monday in Langley Wednesday, October 9, 2013

Who’s No. 1?: Bulldogs and Stampeders both remain undefeated Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

owichan Bulldogs and Langley Stampeders are the last remaining undefeated teams in the Vancouver Mainland Football League’s Midget division. One of them won’t be — unless there’s a rare tie — after a monumental clash between the teams in Langley on Thanksgiving Day. Both teams won again on the weekend to keep pace with each other, Cowichan over the North Delta Longhorns 9-0 Sunday at McAdam Park and Langley over the Chilliwack Giants 21-0 Saturday. The teams have similar stats, with 6-0 Cowichan sitting at 160 points scored and 37 points against while 5-0 Langley’s totals are 181 points scored and 28 against. Cowichan has posted two shutouts this season and given up more than nine points only once while Langley boasts three shutouts in five games. On paper, it seems pretty even. It just depends which team rises to the occasion the most on Monday to take clear possession of first place. “The next game is the biggest game of the season — bar none,’’ Bulldogs’ coach Doug (Opie) Williams told his players after the North Delta game. “This is the true test this next game of where we’re at.’’ “We’ve got to really step up that game,’’ said Cowichan two-way standout Wyatt MacWatt. “That’s going to be the game, for sure.’’ The last two games have brought a playoff-like atmosphere for the Bulldogs so they don’t expect any difference in Langley. North Delta came into Duncan with a 4-1 record and posed a serious threat to the Bulldogs’ perfect record. A conceded safety touch given up by the Longhorns to gain better field position, rather than punting deep in their own end, was the only scoring well into the fourth quarter. With only about six minutes remaining in the game, Cowichan quarterback Erik Kenner led receiver Kain Melchior with a perfect pass for a 30-yard touchdown. The convert made it 9-0 but the

game was far from over despite a lack of scoring through three quarters. North Delta received a break when a punt to midfield bounced off the kick returner and right into the arms of a Longhorns’ player. On the very next play, Garion Ferguson made another of his huge patented interceptions to give Cowichan the ball back. After a series of tough runs by Liam Palcu-Johnston and MacWatt ate up valuable time on the clock, Cowichan eventually turned the ball back to the Longhorns but they went nowhere on their possession. Adam Marchetti ended the game with a quarterback sack on the Longhorns’ last desperation third-down play. Players on both sides became a bit testy with some pushing and shoving toward the end of the hard-hitting battle. “They played a helluva game,’’ Williams said to his players in the post-game huddle. “We played a better game.’’ “We had to step up, for sure,’’ said MacWatt, who missed the first three games of the season while in England but hardly leaves the field now playing linebacker on defence and also in the offensive backfield. “Communication, talking and being together as one,’’ MacWatt said are the keys to this Bulldogs team’s success. “We’ve got a lot of key guys. We know we can do that so we will.’’ The mental side of the game means as much as the physical according to MacWatt. “Stay positive — not get down on ourselves,’’ he said. Williams said the Bulldogs had game film on the Longhorns and directed their plan toward stopping a groundoriented attack. “They’ve got a good team. They’re big and strong. They were out of their comfort zone. We forced them to pass.’’ The Bulldogs’ defence remains unwilling to even bend, never mind break. “In my opinion, we have the best defence in the league,’’ said Williams. “Any time anybody does score points, it’s on a miscue. I’m happy with the defence. We didn’t have any major penalties against us.’’ Cowichan’s final regular season home game is Oct. 20 against White RockSouth Surrey.

Youth Athlete of the Week

Amanda Wise Soccer has always been a natural fit for Amanda Wise and her skills keep advancing with age. “I was never really the type of ‘girly’ kid who liked gymnastics or whatever so I thought I’d try the muddy sports and it went really well so I stayed,’’ she said. Wise, 16, a Grade 11 student at Cowichan Secondary School is now playing in the U17 ranks that gets pretty competitive, “especially when we get into our championships and going to provincials and stuff,’’ she said. “It gets pretty rough — lots of stress.’’ Wise seems to thrive under the pressure and makes things happen at the forward position. “Amanda moves into space really well and creates openings for herself and she’s got a beautiful shot,’’ said coach Greg Poirier. “When the ball’s on the ground, she hits it really well and it’s quick.’’ Wise strives to make her team better on and off the field. “I like to bring lots of positive attitude to my team, like when we do our cheer, I really like to amp up the team,’’ she said. “But I really, really like to work on my shots and keeping the ball with me and not kicking it ahead and having to chase after it.’’
