Push for new park continues to Echo in Chemainus

In the Heights: Council to seek more feedback as 20% development proposal remains on the table Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

ocal Chemainiacs demanded all of publicly owned Echo Heights forest be preserved as parkland Wednesday, while council remained split on that idea. After heated debate, council voted to send a planning department report — based on saving 80% of Echo Heights as park — to three committees for debate and recommendations to council. A public meeting would follow those committee reports. The other 20% is targeted for 54 residential lots, on 4.2 hectares, for phased sale to developers, given market conditions.

Duncan man arrested after stabbing sends man to Victoria hospital

The victim of a stabbing last week at a Duncan apartment is recovering from multiple wounds. His alleged attacker, Miles Justin Boyles, 33, of Duncan has been charged and remains in custody. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Jon Stuart said the alleged fracas began Oct. 9 at about 1:50 p.m. when RCMP received a 9-1-1

call that a male in front of a Duncan apartment building on Dobson Road was screaming he had been stabbed. Mounties attended and witnesses explained the victim had been driven by a friend to Cowichan District Hospital. “He was located at the hospital suffering from multiple stab wounds,” Stuart’s release says. “The

victim was air-lifted to Victoria General Hospital where he underwent surgery.” Shortly after the incident, the accused was located a few blocks from the scene. Boyles is charged with one count of aggravated assault, and one count of assault with a weapon, Stuart said. The suspect remains in custody, and investigation continues.

But Councillor John Koury, head of council’s economic development committee, seemed sick of talking about saving any more than 80%. He pulled staff’s recommendation to send the planning report to the EDC. Koury miffed the mayor by suggesting Lefebure was basically “indifferent” about how much of Echo Heights to save. Lefebure objected as some councillors and residents walked out of the tense chambers.

That happened after CRA members told council why all of Echo Heights must be saved, a tune they’ve sung to council for years. Biologist Kelly Bannister suggested councillors accept expert advice available about Echo Heights’ ecological, scientific and cultural values, noting studies done so far are “quick and dirty assessments.” For instance, she cited further archaeological and hydrological data needed — finding it “ironic” council officially received its climate-action plan award

Wednesday before debating the controversial forest. Tom Masters said there’s no community support for developing the Heights. “It comes down to the people want it saved, and it’s the right thing to do.” Gus Lolaric explained housing projects already underway in Mural Town are selling slowly, despite reduced prices. “Spend (taxpayer) money on projects of more benefit to the community. Don’t cut down the trees for short-term gain.” Diana Hardacker told how

Mary Dolan said folks have used the Heights as a park for years, as it is “remarkable in its diversity”, before CRA chairman Bernie Jones pointed to some 1,400 petition signatures so far to save the site. Lefebure said he didn’t expect a public meeting about Echo Heights until January, after the planning report is discussed by the three committees.

Brave bargers score win for autism effort Canucks and more: Mill Bay fundraiser called a major success

John McKinley

News Leader Pictorial

ost hockey fans appreciate a player willing to barge his way into a tight spot to make a play under the most adverse of conditions. That applies to fundraisers just as much as it does to hockey games. Vancouver Canucks Kevin Bieksa, Alex Edler, Jason Garrison and Dan Hamhuis were among the notable names braving high winds and rain off the shore of Mill Bay Sept. 28 to board a barge to raise money for local families living with autism. Event spokesperson Steve Housser called the Sip, Savour & Support – The Best of the Cowichan Valley fundraiser a fabulous afternoon. and a huge success Nearly 300 people crammed a

giant barge tethered to the Mill Bay Marina for the event, which raised $113,268, including a $48,000 donation from Macquarie Group Foundation. “The fundraiser was such a success there’s already talk of a repeat next year,” Housser said in a press release. “But because the 160-foot barge could barely handle all the guests, there are plans afoot for two barges and possibly having the Sip Savour and Support act as a kickoff to next year’s Cowichan Wine & Culinary Festival. “This should mean more support for Cowichan Valley families living with autism as well as a boost to tourism and a showcase for valley wines and fine food.” In addition to the hockey stars, Gareth Rees of Rugby Canada fame and Olympic silver medalist rower Silken Laumann were among the other athletic celebrities on hand. Housser reports guests posed for pictures with them while rocking to the sounds of blues guitarist David Gogo and Cobble Hill up-andcomer Scotty Hills. “Equally as remarkable as the high calibre of athletic talent

was the exquisite food and drink provisioned by ten local restaurants, paired with ten local wineries,” he said. “It was a feast of culinary expertise all enhanced by exceptional wines, beer and cider.” The Canadian Autism Network event was spearheaded locally by Andrew Purdey, the Mill Bay owner of Ruskin Construction. The Vancouver-based non-profit organization was founded by Paolo and Clara Aquilini, owners of the Canucks, whose son Christian has autism. “The unqualified success of the inaugural fundraiser means up to 100 families affected by autism will be able to enjoy a free, three day camp next summer at Shawnigan Lake,” Housser said. “The local organizing committee is humbled and amazed by the generosity of so many individuals and corporations who so eagerly stepped forward to make this event possible. A big thank you to them and especially to all the guests who braved gale force winds and lashing rain to enjoy an incredible afternoon.”

Communication Is The Foundation Of All Relationships

Cowichan mom concerned after her daughter approached by strange man Attempted abduction? Police don’t think so Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

aney Haywood is trying to alert as many folks about what she is calling an attempted abduction of her daughter Tuesday afternoon. “Yesterday, on Oct. 15 a man tried to abduct my daughter on Mary/Philip St. at 2:22 p.m,” Haywood wrote in an email to the News Leader Pictorial. “He was driving a white Dodge Ram with a canopy.” Haywood’s daughter, who’s 12 years old, was walking home from the Cowichan Valley Adult

Learning Centre at the former Duncan Elementary school. She was at about the corner of Mary and Philip Streets when the Dodge rolled up behind her. The man, who’s been described by her daughter as Caucasian, about 5’7” and in his mid-40s with a short-haired handlebar mustache, yelled at her, “Hey” out the truck window. He then got out of the truck and approached her. That’s when she ran. And thankfully, she was able to call her mom from her cell phone, who was working not far away at Coffee on the Moon at the time, and came and got her. By the time Haywood got to the area, and found her daughter at the end of Mary Street, the man had disappeared. The man was also described wearing jeans, a green plaid shirt, a

black ball cap with a brown rim, a dark brown leather jacket and had a large belt buckle. Police have also been notified of the incident. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Jon Stuart encourages anyone with information to contact police. “I would like to clarify we are not investigating this as an attempted abduction,” Stuart said Thursday. “It is confirmed that a vehicle stopped, and a male got out, but no overt action was reported to us to show that it was anything other than a suspicious occurrence. “When we received this file, we investigated, made patrols and attempted to locate vehicles matching the description.” Information can be reported to the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP detachment at 250-7485522.

Your sense of hearing is fundamentally important to your well being.

Time to put Echo Heights back on a high shelf

Let’s move on: Listen to what the people are saying

es, we have blasted North Cowichan in this space for financial irresponsibility. Yes, just last issue we were calling on the community to create more affordable housing. And yes, the 20% proposal for Echo Heights forest could be a significant step toward addressing each of those concerns. But we’ve come to the conclusion any plans to develop this chunk of municipal forestland should be shelved for the foreseeable future. The reason is not because it is a precious piece of rare ecology — it’s not. And the reason is not because counThis is not cil has no place in the development what the business, or that there are better places to build. people want No, the reason is better than those, at this time or any of the many other reasons that have been put forth in the past decade. Our reason is much more basic: the community does not want it. There were plenty of good reasons to build a recycling depot on Cameron-Taggart Road. We supported the idea when it was first proposed. But within a few weeks we had reversed that position. It very quickly became clear the community simply did not want it. And the first lesson of democratic government should be “give the people what they want.” If the CVRD had heeded that guideline in the ECO Depot fiasco, it could have saved taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars, and buckets of ill will. The Echo Heights proposal has been around much longer than the ECO Depot was, and, if anything, opposition to the idea has intensified. If the community doesn’t want it, council needs to accept that. That’s why this is called a democracy.

We say:

There is no such thing as being too careful when it comes to letting people know about potential risks to public safety. If a child reports being approached by an adult in an odd or threatening manner, then it is the responsibility of the public to let others know so they can make up their own minds about what, if any, precautions should be taken. Better safe than sorry.

How afraid should we be of strangers?

No need for prorogue to get your mouth foaming Patrick Hrushowy

News Leader Pictorial

rorogue is not something Ukrainians cook up and serve with fried onions slathered in butter – those are perogies. Prorogue is something governments do when deciding to end a session of Parliament or the Legislature. Now that the Harper government has opened a new session in the House of Commons, it might be instructive to review Parliamentary procedures so that when this new session comes to an end — and it surely will — we can spare people some of the gnashing of teeth and the setting of shorts on fire when once again Parliament will be prorogued. In the British Parliamentary system, a session begins with a Throne Speech, read by the monarch’s representative. This speech is largely a formality that provides some hints

of what the government hopes to accomplish in the new session. When the government of the day wants to end a session, they go through a process called prorogation, and once again the monarch’s representative is involved in closing out the session. The representative thanks the members of Parliament or the Legislature for the work they have done on behalf of their voters. This sounds simple enough but leaves out the essential element of politics. Governments have the power and authority to call a session when the politics of the day suits them; and similarly they can end or prorogue a session with timing that suits their own political needs. There is no rule in Ottawa that says the government must schedule a session of parliament on any particular date, nor is there any rule that demands a session of parliament last for any particular period of time. In B.C. we have ensconced in law that a

Fear is a powerful motivator and our society already has enough unhealthy fear and mistrust of strangers to inﬂame that fear without good reason. It is not a crime for an adult to speak to a child, nor should it be. And we need to be careful about creating a society where any overture between people is something to be automatically greeted with mistrust. Community is something we create.

COWICHAN LEADERS

session must be called in February each year with the reading of a Throne speech and the presentation of a budget. The government retains the authority to end a session whenever it wishes. The only real requirement an Ottawa government faces is it cannot spend money without an annual budget authorized by parliament. Even then, there are special exceptions that can provide for emergency spending beyond the one-year budget period. In practice, governments call sessions on an annual basis in order to further their own legislative agenda for passing new laws, and for proposing, debating and passing a budget. In all cases, government retains the authority to end a sitting of Parliament or Legislature when the politics suits it. There is nothing unusual about that. All govern-

ments do it. Another thing to keep in mind is a Parliament in session is a little bit like an iceberg; that which you see is only 10% of what is really going on in the process of government. Actually sitting in the House comprises a very small part of what an MP or MLA does as an elected representative. When an opposition political party, and/ or the Press Gallery foam at the mouth over the attack on democracy when a government prorogues a session, please rest assured you are watching great and grand political theatre, and not something you should be terribly worried about.

Mural committee can do something about substandard murals

Dear editor I have to respond to the Huffington Post’s comment Chemainus is tacky. Look at the truly magnificent work of the Chemainus Communities in Bloom group. It has made the entry into town from Henry Road quite lovely; the best I have seen it in 20 years. There is absolutely nothing tacky in their work. I have to say much the same about the current work of the mural society; its restoration work is of the first order, especially if they are getting the usual paltry sums from the municipality. I believe two aspects of town were noticed by Huffington as tacky: the high vacancy rate in the Willow Street shopping leaving nasty empty spaces; and the very poor quality of some of the newer murals, noticeably ones the society has inherited, that were not initially promoted by the society. There is not much that can be done with empty shops, except perhaps lowering rents, but something can be done about tacky murals. If the whole of the mural committee sees a mural as poor, then simply it must go or be improved by the original artist. If a new mural is planned, the mural society would do well to get well-established expensive artists like David Goatley and make sure they like the work before the artist is paid. Poor work does not deserve payment without a careful review. Forceful people with poor taste can railroad the society into accepting poor work when the committee at large is the best judge. Fergus Anderson Chemainus

Truth still needs to be heard in smart meter debate

The World Health Organization in May 2011, has called this RF a possible carcinogen. There is a lot of awareness-raising which needs to be done in North America.

Emma Jaggers, 5, selects a pumpkin during a tour with her family at the Abby Lane Farm pumpkin patch on Oct. 12. enjoy a good documentary, Resonance, a James Russel film is a good synopsis of the concerns. The crux of our challenge here in Canada is that our safety standards are lax. The allowable limit of microwave radiation is 1,000 times more than what is allowed in Australia and most countries in Europe. So if scientists and governments there are cautious, why are they not in Canada? In the past several months, our government did admit our standards are to protect us against burning tissue only, not against adverse biological effects such as cancer and Alzheimer’s. The general public is a long way from finding and accepting the truth. Dorothea Banman Cowichan

Roundabout transportation better than Salt Spring’s spinning wheels

Dear editor I am moving to Crofton soon, after living on Salt Spring for 10 years. Here is why: There are no roundabouts and no traffic lights here either. But even worse, there are no right turn lanes at any intersection. People just refuse to pull out even when a driver signals a right turn. This is the fear factor and roundabouts totally eliminate it. I am originally from the U.K. and there are major roundabouts everywhere, two-lane roundabouts that double-decker buses and big trucks with trailers use daily without problems. Recently, I was in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. There two-lane roundabouts in both cities. They work. They don’t get rusty, or need paint, or break down and they don’t need replacing — only some flowers and a little clean-up. They also look

Culture is not a costume to wear

Dear editor In your recent issue, there was a woman with her face painted as a Dia de los Muertos skull accompanied by instructions on how to achieve this look. Encouraging people to paint their faces as Dia de los Muertos skulls is a serious issue of cultural appropriation. Dia de los Muertos is not “Mexican Halloween.” It is a tradition and it is offensive when that tradition is treated as nothing more than “fancy dress.” As you mentioned, the holiday is meant to honour the deceased, however it does not tie into Halloween whatsoever. There is no single representative for such a large group of people but dressing up like that is not honouring the culture. People’s beliefs are not costumes and with every cultural erasure, society is taking a step backward. Kelly Carleton Duncan

want to express my appreciation to everyone from Cowichan Bay (Area D) who came out to the Sept. 26 zoning bylaw discussion at Bench School. I especially want to thank the large number of members from the floathome community in the bay who shared their views and engaged in a constructive dialogue. One thing I heard was that they want to be hooked up to the sewer system. I promise to Lori Iannidinardo: work hard to help them to do that as soon as pos- waters important sible. The waters of Cowichan Bay are important to all of us. These waters are experiencing impacts from a variety of sources, including upland and road runoff. This was not explained in previous articles written about Cowichan Bay and floathomes. Impacts on the bay’s environment are not just coming from one source. I am working with CVRD staff and groups like the Cowichan Watershed Board to protect the bay in all the ways we can. Some of the things we are pursuing include: requiring new developments to better manage stormwater as part of the OCP; working with farmers to improve farm practices and keep water in the bay clean; and encouraging stewardship by private landowners. Sewage from floathomes and liveaboards is just one factor that has been heavily emphasized in the media. There are many living on the water who manage their waste responsibly and many more who want to connect to sewer. My goal is to ensure that everyone can connect. I am also committed to ensuring bylaws affecting marinas support other aspects of health and safety, such as access for ambulances and firefighters to respond to emergencies. We are in a process of moving from a very old bylaw that doesn’t allow floathomes at all, to developing new bylaws that will accommodate our float home community in a way that fits with current health and safety regulations. The current draft zoning bylaw is just a starting point. I’m working with staff to find positive ways to help take the community through the transition. The health of our watershed and our community have to be worked on from many angles. It’s great seeing the interest from the float home community in being part of the process. Lori Iannidinardo is the Cowichan Valley Regional District director, for Cowichan Bay (Area D). The regional district is pursuing bylaw revisions that would legalize currently illegal floathomes, but only under conditions some feel will force them to move.

Concerns mount about community centre booze Dateline 1978: Liquor licence causes stir Ann Andersen

he Cowichan Community Centre had yet to open its doors in October 1978 but already a controversy was brewing over its application for a liquor licence. Although the centre’s manager Cesare Gianna emphasized the liquor licence was strictly for use in the theatre lounge during a play, opponents let local officials know they feared expansion of the licence once it was approved. Among those in opposition were Duncan United Church Elders. In their letter to the liquor control and licensing branch, they listed seven reasons. These included that students from Cow High would be using the premises; and the availability of liquor could spoil enjoyment of swimming, use of the library and other activities. “It is quite probable that performances in the theatre will be spoiled by those who have over-indulged,” they wrote. Other points raised included the suggestion there’d be traffic fatalities on James Street because of congestion and impaired driving. The elders surmised beer and cider drinkers could be watching school sports; that granting of the application could lead to a real pub on the centre and on its grounds; and that under provincial law, the pub could be open 14 hours per day.

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula

Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement.

Solid foundation: Assistance of students and teaching staff literally takes a huge load off the Barkers

News Leader Pictorial

he Garden House Foundation’s famous book sale begins a new chapter Saturday in a different location with a lot more books. The charitable event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at George Bonner Elementary School. “It’s been at the Cobble Hill Hall for the first five years,’’ said Jackie Barker, who runs the foundation with husband Jim. “It’s moved to the school at their invitation.’’ Bonner has been involved from the beginning but is taking a more direct role with students pitching in as a community service project. Jackie Barker said Grade 7 teachers Myra Rogers and Dave Posey have worked very hard with the students. “They’ve been working with us all year to move books down in the basement and sort so it’s been a really great help to us. “The school district went a

step further. They’ve afforded us their school district storage which just happens to be in the basement of George Bonner School.’’ There are now some 20,000 books in storage. A literacy fair is being held in conjunction with the sale that the Barkers both believe in strongly as former educators. The Barkers founded the foundation in 2008 under the umbrella of the Victoria Foundation. “The advantage of being with them, they have the board of directors and look after Revenue Canada requirements,’’ said Jackie. The Garden House Foundation is currently carrying a balance of $60,000, she added, and grants will continue to rise as the amount of the fund increases through the book sale and interest. Families in crisis and animals in need are the focus for the foundation, with the Duncan SPCA, Cowichan Family Life and Cowichan Women Against Violence receiving funding each year.

The foundation is the Barkers’ way of giving back. “We have wanted for years before we retired, we talked about carrying on in the community in some way,’’ said Jackie. She’s expecting the fund could hit the $70,000 mark by the end of December and will continue to climb from there.

“It’s a different idea of fundraising,’’ Barker said. “This was a different approach, smaller at the start but bigger at the end.’’ The book sale raised about $9,500 last year and $10,500 the year before, so she expects proceeds will be in that range again this time.

Having a complete record of your medications helps us to ensure you’re taking your medications correctly and safely. A vasectomy is still one of the best birth control methods. A minor operation using a local anaesthetic, it involves severing the tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the penis. The operation doesn’t result in immediate sterility so alternate birth control methods should still be used. No sexual difficulties result from the operation however it doesn’t protect against sexually-transmitted diseases. We’ve mentioned the “polypill” in this column in the past. It’s a drug delivery system that combines 4 drugs in one pill for patients with heart disease. The pill contains ASA, a cholesterol-lowering drug and one or two blood pressure-lowering drugs. It’s a way of ensuring the patient gets all the medication needed to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Not on the market yet, but perhaps soon.

Musicale about to make mornings musically intimate Getting interactive: New Cowichan Theatre series lets you get close to elite musicians

Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

icture your favourite music in live concert format being played in the comfort of your own living room. This image would probably have a lot of folks feeling tickled and delighted. And for those people, there’s a similar concept brewing at the Cowichan Theatre. The theatre’s Morning Musicale project kicks off Oct. 21 and is essentially an interactive concert series. “The idea is to break down the barrier between audience and musician, to facilitate a more intimate concert experience, as if I was inviting folks to my living room,” said Vancouver pianist and Morning Musicale hostess Sarah Hagen. Hagen is also the first featured performer. “My hope is (participants) will be enriched by the music, have a deep listening experience, will feel very

much that they are closely a part of the music-making. And they will enjoy themselves on a profound level.” The new program taking place on select Monday mornings will begin with coffee, tea, and treats and a chance to chat with musicians. Hagen has invited world-class performers to bring their artistry to the valley. And the artists, all known for their perceptive, eloquent and entertaining commentary, will take time to offer personal insights into the music. Onstage seating allows audience members an up-close, personal experience. “This will be a great forum for music students as well as any music lovers who want that up-close experience,” said Cowichan Theatre manager Kirsten Schrader. Schrader met Hagen last April at an annual presenters conference in Burnaby. “The series had been happening in Nanaimo and Courtenay, as well as on the lower Mainland, so mostly the Cowichan series is a result of word spreading among presenters,” explained Hagen. “It took a few months to settle on how many concerts, the format, the days, and then for me to piece

Vancouver pianist Sarah Hagen will be your hostess for the Morning Musicale series. together a balanced roster of musicians. I have eight series this year so I am juggling quite a number of dates and guest artists.” Hagen loves getting to know her audience. “My experience has been that the relationship between myself and the audience continues to grow with each concert. Rather than a series where each concert has completely different musicians, there is some-

thing comfortable about having the continuity of the same host. “As each series continues I notice a level of trust growing. Audience members know I will only invite the finest musicians, the programs will be set to suit the venue, everything will be of the highest calibre. Eventually they start making requests and suggestions for musicians and repertoire, which I love.” The concerts are about 75 minutes

Also featured on Cowichan’s Morning Musicale schedule are Rebecca Wenham, cello (Nov. 25), Marcus Takizawa, viola (Jan. 13) and Jennie Press, violin (Mar. 24). “I believe (the series) has worked because people build friendships with each other and with the musicians, as we are all drawn together by the common thread of music,” said Hagen. “It’s a gathering point for classical aficionados and the community continues to expand because of the relationships forged and the experiences had. “I think this series will thrive in Cowichan.” Your ticket What: Morning Musicale, Sarah Hagen (solo piano) When: October 21, 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Where: Cowichan Theatre Tickets: $22 /Elder College $20 (Oct. 21 concert promotion: bring a friend ‘2 for 1’ tickets.Call 250-7487529

GOODSELL, Mildred Dorothy March 30, 1925 - September 22, 2013 It is with heartfelt sorrow, sadness and great love we say goodbye to Mildred â€œMillieâ€? Goodsell (nee Hawkins). Born in Comox March 30, 1925 to Ellen and George Hawkins. Millie lived most of her life in the Comox Valley where she met and married her husband Don Goodsell (predeceased 1993) and together they raised their two daughters Linda and Patricia. Her husband Don lovingly nicknamed her â€œCookieâ€? and that name stuck with the entire family. Millie joined the Forces @ the age of 17 and served the war effort in Canada, carrying on after the war with a career in the civil service until retirement. Don and Millie loved their leisure time together enjoying driving the back roads of British Columbia hunting, fishing and camping in their travel trailer. She dedicated her time to the womenâ€™s auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion - Comox Branch 160 of which she was a 60 year life member and was instrumental in the development of dâ€™Esterre House Seniorsâ€™ Centre in downtown Comox. In retirement Millie and Don spent many years snow birding to Mazatlan Mexico in their RV enjoying that time with old and new friends. In later years, her health failing, she moved in with her daughter Patriciaâ€™s family in Duncan where she could have close family care and spent her last 5 years. Millie has left behind Linda MacLeod and her husband John and Patricia Wallis and her husband Bryan, seven grand children and 12 great grand children. Thank you to Comox Home Care and People at Home care workers who attended to Millie while she was living in Comox with her brother Bob. The family wish to express their sincere thank you to the many health care workers who, with considerable kindness, attended to Millie while in Duncan and thank you to the staff of residential care facility of Cairnsmore Place and the Cowichan District Hospital.

SCHMIDT, John Joseph (JJ or Smitty) At the age of 86 passed away peacefully on the morning of October 6th at the Cowichan Valley Hospital after a long battle with Alzheimerâ€™s. John was survived by his beloved wife Norma, son William and many other loving relatives and friends. Born and raised in Saskatchewan, Smitty was an engineer with the Department of Highways for 25 years. Smitty was a pioneer in his industry, most commonly known as an innovator & entrepreneur for his work on traffic marking machines.Â Smitty wasnâ€™t an actor but he had to get his lines straight all the same, he was in his glory sitting atop his marking machine, painting lines on the road for miles and miles.Â Smitty always had a story to tell and a laugh to share and you could always find him at one of his favorite places, dancing dixie with his wife Norma. Smittyâ€™s wife is grateful to the dedicated health professionals, family and friends who made Smitty toughest years much more beautiful. Our lives wonâ€™t be the same without John, he will be missed terribly and remembered fondly.Â A Memorial will be held in Regina in the early spring and a drop in tea will be arranged,if wishing to pay your respects in Duncan.Â FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL SERVICES

Caps beat ex-Canucks’ squad

Peewee hockey: Hopwo wins the battle over coach Morrison at Burnaby Winter Club Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

owichan Valley Peewee A Capitals took down a former Vancouver Canuck player’s team for one of their two victories in the Burnaby Winter Club Invitational Thanksgiving weekend hockey tournament. Coach Brett Hopwo’s Caps knocked off a Calgary team coached by ex-National Hockey Leaguer Brendan Morrison 6-1. Corson Hopwo had a gritty twoway performance with a goal and an assist to earn MVP honours for the game. The Caps preceded that game with a 3-1 loss against a powerful Langley team. The Caps dominated play with a 26-11 advantage in shots on goal, but Langley capitalized on a few lucky bounces for the win. Cody Sheppard’s strong play

pirited competition from here, there and everywhere: • Shawnigan Lake School rowers are competing in the biggest two-day regatta in the world this weekend, the Head of the Charles, in Boston. The boys’ team includes: Lauren John, Liam McKay, Mykael Hughes-Mussio, William Laumann Wallace, Bailey Walker, John Mitchell, Bayley Wells, Cody Sayer and Morgan Stade. Members of the girls’ team are: Maia du Toit, Annabel Irwin, Sierra

Farr, Shanti Thurber, Alex Lubbe, Danielle Schmidt, Maria Wallace, Georgie Stadnyk and Anna Koehler. “There are 85 boats in each of our races,’’ noted coach Tim Coy. “Entries are secured by a top placement from the previous year. The rest of the entries are drawn out of a hat. Pure chance. This is the first time we have attempted to enter as a school and both crews got accepted.’’ • Cowichan’s U17 and U18 girls’ soccer teams clash Sunday at 10 a.m. Both teams have been placed in the Gold division for U18 girls fol-

lowing a seeding tournament that comprised the first five games of the season. Juan de Fuca U17, Prospect Lake U17 and U18, and Bays United U18 are the other teams in the division. Cowichan U18s played to a 2-2 tie with Juan de Fuca U17 in their latest game. Caisa Heyes and Chloe Boon were the goal-scorers. Cowichan U17 girls tied 1-1 with Bays United Chaos U18. “It takes lots of character to come from behind,’’ noted coach Greg Poirier. “Everyone did a great job picking up the play in the second half.’’

The final game of the tournament for the Caps against Kelowna went to a shootout. There were four lead changes in the game and it eventually went to a four-on-four overtime. When that didn’t decide it, a shootout was necessary and Kelowna prevailed. Jo Jo Tanaka-Campbell was selected the Caps’ game MVP. Wil Gurski played extremely well during his stints in goal for the team. “We are improving by playing higher quality teams,’’ noted coach Hopwo. “However, we still have a lot to work on, but we are definitely looking forward to future games against top mainland competition.’’

Cowichan United U13 girls give away a little in age, but they make up for it with a great work ethic. The Cowichan Valley Soccer Association squad plays in a division with both U13 and U14 teams. United has played five games so far this season and only lost once.

The team has compiled an impressive 15 goals scored and given up just four. Playing against Bays U14, pictured, Cowichan posted a 3-2 win. “We are ecstatic to have the seeding stage so that we can immerse ourselves in games like

this which will force us to battle for every result,’’ noted coach Neall Rowlings. The team features 18 very dedicated young girls, he added. They’re all working hard and attendance has been strong at each game and practice.

Smith inducted into the Softball B.C. Hall of Fame

Picture-perfect pitcher: Pan-Am gold stands out among career highlights Don Bodger

Having a whip for an arm carried Rick Smith a long way in softball. Now he’s content to make appearances such as the Gord Closson Classic oldtimers’ tournament, above, at Glenora’s Waldon Park in August.

alley pitching sensation Rick Smith has long been considered a shoo-in for the Softball B.C. Hall of Fame. The actual induction officially happened Oct. 5 in Richmond. Smith, 42, didn’t know his name had been put through the nomination and then election stage until a few weeks before the induction ceremony at the Executive Airport Plaza Hotel and Conference Centre. “It’s kind of last minute which was humbling, for sure,’’ said Smith. “It solidifies your career. I guess you were good at one time. I was definitely fortunate to be surrounded by some very good teams.’’

Points on the third ball hard to get

Order on the court: All aspects of Kelsey volleyball squad’s game haven’t come together Don Bodger

he Frances Kelsey girls’ volleyball team is still very much a work in progress. And coach Mark Jackson is sticking with the plan of playing the toughest competition and sacrificing results in order to get better before it counts the most. The Breakers took their lumps again during a tournament at Vanier Thanksgiving weekend, finishing eighth out of 12 teams. “They had a bit of trouble with the third ball,’’ said Jackson. “The third ball was not finding the

court. “Once again, we’re staying the course on a system that we think will pay off.’’ Jackson is still seeing many positive signs in the team’s play. It’s just a matter of whether the players can put everything together. “Our passing has improved,’’ he said. “Our serving is quite good. It’s on target.’’ But that pesky third ball problem reared its head time and again. It was the main focus of the team’s practice following the tournament. The host Vanier team provided the opposition in Kelsey’s opening game. Vanier is a tough opponent, ranked at No. 8 in AAAA, and

beat Kelsey 25-10, 25-12. Against Carihi, Kelsey lost 1725, 13-25 and fell victim to weak passing in that game, but maintained a decent serving standard. Mount Douglas was a good third match for Kelsey and ended in a 22-25, 14-25 defeat. “Game one was very exciting,’’ said Jackson. “It looked like it was going to go our way.’’ After the repooling, Kelsey went to three sets against Highland, winning 26-24 before dropping the last two 20-25, 9-15. Kelsey was then beaten 20-25, 13-25 by Terry Fox and completed the tournament with a 25-23, 9-25, 6-15 result against Mark Isfeld.

Caps add to woes of lowly Bulldogs Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

he Cowichan Valley Capitals continued their mastery over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Wednesday. The Caps beat the Bulldogs for the fourth straight time during a B.C. Hockey League game in Port Alberni. Mitch Ball, Armand Uomoleale and Sam Curleigh scored goals in

the third period, as the Caps eked out a 5-4 victory. The Caps trailed 2-0, but rallied in the last half of the second period to tie it 2-2 on goals by Myles Powell and Adam Moody. The teams traded power play markers in the third before another power play goal by Uomoleale put the Caps ahead to stay. Curleigh’s goal provided what turned out to be significant insurance, especially after Alberni’s Hunter Stewart tallied in the final

minute of play. Caps’ goalie Robin Gusse played a huge role in the victory, as the Bulldogs held a 40-24 advantage in shots on goal. The Caps returned to the .500 mark at 7-7-1, with four of their victories against the Bulldogs. Alberni Valley fell to 1-11-3. The Caps are into a busy weekend with three games in three days, including a meeting with the Chilliwack Chiefs Saturday at 7 p.m. at Cowichan Arena.

He grew up playing softball in Sooke. “My dad was a pitcher,’’ said Smith. But he was primarily a third pitcher during his time in Sooke, playing mostly shortstop and second base. When Smith moved over to Cordova Bay and started pitching, his career took off. He relocated to Duncan in 1993 and has since lived in Crofton for nearly three years. Smith excelled at the highest level for many years and was a member of Team Canada from 2000 to 2007. Playing on the national team that won the Pan-American gold medal in 2003 in the Dominican Republic was a definite highlight. “The group of guys you share that with you can never take that away,’’ Smith said. His resume included pitching stints with the prestigious Victoria franchise for 10 years

under the Payless, Legends and Travellers Inn banners as well as the Vancouver Grey Sox and various teams in the U.S. Smith’s final season was 2011 with Saskatoon. “I battled injuries my last two years,’’ said Smith. “It wasn’t fun going to the ballpark when you couldn’t feel your fingertips anymore.’’ He encountered shoulder troubles that created numbness down to the fingertips. Smith took two years off and has now started throwing in oldtimers again. “I don’t have those aches and pains anymore,’’ he said. Smith is obviously proud of his career, but happy now to adjust his priorities. “You make a sacrifice for so many years as you’re chasing your dream,’’ he said. “It’s a sacrifice the family makes and it’s time to get back to the family, for sure.’’

More than 50 kids and their parents attended the third-annual Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day at the Cleasby Bike Park in Cobble Hill. “We had families from Salt Spring, Victoria and throughout the valley,’’ noted Matthuw Ronald-Jones, a South Cowichan director for the South Island Mountain Bike Society.

Duncan’s Cycle Therapy helped with bike and helmet checks and brought a gift for every participant as well as plenty of prizes. Bonterra Pizza was on site to sell slices of pizza, with a portion of the proceeds going to the society. “A big thanks to the ride guides and whoever ordered the weather,’’ added Ronald-Jones.

Thanksgiving showdown: Bulldogs’ perfect record falls in 10-9 loss

owichan LMG Pringle had to allow a goal sometime. It’s just unfortunate for the Div. 1 Island Soccer League team that the first goal it gave up this season also coincided with its first loss in five games. Cowichan gave up an early goal around the five-minute mark on a corner kick and that was all the Saanich Fusion needed for a 1-0 victory in the second game of a senior soccer doubleheader Saturday at the Ladysmith Turf. “We just kind of poorly defended it,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin of the game’s lone goal. “After that, we were just chasing the game, trying to score.’’ Cowichan had its chances but couldn’t make anything count. Saanich goalie Ryan Hulstein was there to make the saves whenever shots at the net were finally generated. “To not get one goal is pret-

onday’s game between the top two teams in the Vancouver Mainland Football League’s Midget Division lived up to its billing. The Cowichan Bulldogs ventured to Langley and suffered their first loss of the season, 10-9 in a barnburner against the Langley Stampeders. The Stampeders now own top spot all to themselves at 6-0 while the Bulldogs are 6-1. “It was a very defensive battle,’’ said Cowichan coach Doug (Opie) Williams. The Bulldogs were in tough with Kain Melchior and Drayson Price both out of the lineup with an illness and injury, respectively, and then lost Kole Lochbaum to injury in the first quarter. The game was literally a toss-up to the end. The Stampeders took advantage of a Cowichan penalty on a third-down punt in the second quarter and broke the next play for a 40-yard touchdown run. Langley added a field goal in the third quarter for a 10-0 lead. Cowichan came back in the fourth with a short Wyatt MacWatt TD run. Langley also gave up a safety for better field position late in the game. Cory Lewis had two interceptions for the Bulldogs and Nick Thomas recovered a fumble. “We didn’t play our best game in my opinion,’’ said Williams. “If we can eliminate the mistakes, we’re the No. 1 team.’’ Cowichan hosts White Rock South Surrey Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
