Flagger succumbs to injuries

Dumptruck tragedy: Community rallies to help young family of Maggie Feeley Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

Becky Sanesh and her daughter Kayla Parchem get ready to go for a jaunt with Chip on the Cowichan Valley Trail. Sanesh said the contraption has given her elderly dog a new lease on life.

nd off he went. “Chip seemed to know what to do right away and he was gone,” said the owner of the 13 1/2-year-old German Shepherd cross, Becky Sanesh.

Getting around: Canine wheelchair gives Cowichan Valley pooch a new lease on life Chip was fitted Oct. 17 for a special doggy wheelchair. “Once it was done he took off with his stub wagging. Several tears were shed. Chip was so happy.” Duncan Animal Hospital’s Jessica Lemke recently assisted Sanesh in researching and sourcing out a chair for the aging Duncan pooch. Chip, who will be 14 in January, was losing mobility in his back-end quickly and has very little feeling if any in his back legs, explained his owner. “I was on the verge of putting Chip down. It had been discussed with the vet that when he could no longer get up he would be put down.” Sanesh had some blood work done on her companion as well, and the tests turned out good. “This made the decision even harder

to consider. I sat with it for a few days and called Dr. Gillian Wiley and discussed a wheelchair option with her and asked what she thought. “She said it was a great idea since he is otherwise healthy.” Sanesh got Chip from the SPCA in 2000. He was about six months old and had been rescued by the local branch. “His tail had been docked and he was starving and found on a local beach somewhere with his brother, Dale,” Sanesh said. Chip’s an extremely loyal dog and very patient with her granddaughter. “He loves to sleep in my bedroom but that requires climbing stairs. After several falls down the stairs, he now waits for me to help him up, and I guide his back legs while he climbs with his front legs.”

Before Sanesh looked into a wheelchair, Chip was steadily becoming depressed. “The day before we put him in the wheelchair he had stopped eating,” said Sanesh. “I used to take him for long walks very regularly and for the past year he hasn’t been able to go.” Both Duncan Animal Hospital’s Wiley and Lemke knew the wheelchair was the answer for Chip. “He was a perfect candidate,” said Lemke, who worked at a clinic in Edmonton that specialized in animal orthopedics. “He had the desire and ability to walk on his front end.” The chair, which cost about $430 US (no duty or taxes), was ordered through doggon.com and came from Hawaii. more on A4

owichanians are rallying to support the family of a traffic flagger who died Wednesday after suffering workplace injuries in Duncan Monday. Bottle drives and pizzaparlour donations are aimed at helping the young children of flagger Margreta (Maggie) Erin Feeley, 29, of Lake Cowichan. At press time, southCowichan’s Moo’s Pizza had raised $1,740 in donations and from facebook bids on five Classic Feast pizza packages. The Duncan Flagger’s Family Relief Fund, set up through gofundme by Pamela Mitchell, had gained $880 by press time toward a $5,000 target. There’s also a bottle drive Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon, at Cowichan Secondary School, supported by Island ReturnIt. An RBC account is also being established to accept funds for Feeley’s family. “Feeley was working as a traffic flagperson on a paving construction site, in the 2500-block of Beverly Street in Duncan, on the morning of Oct. 21 when she was struck by one of the vehicles involved in the construction work,” coroner Barb McLintock’s release states. more on A4 bchonda.com

Capsule Comments

any people might be experiencing more frequent headaches due to the pain relievers they are taking. This condition is called medication overuse headache. The theory is that pain sensation is reset and there is a rebound effect between doses. The way to stop this is to wean yourself off the drug slowly over a few months. Can be difficult but ironically can result in fewer headaches. There are many gourmet salts on the market. They are made differently but chemically they are all the same. They contain sodium chloride. They are not healthier salts. Some salts making that claim substitute potassium or magnesium for some of the sodium so that could be called “healthier”. The Conference Board of Canada rated Canadian provinces on how well their citizens looked after themselves. Three criteria were used: overweight, smoking and physical activity. B.C. came out on top and these good results lessened going east. B.C. was given an A, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec a B. Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador rated D while the rest were given a C. If you have diabetes, it is very important that you understand the disease... what it does to your body if it isn’t controlled properly. Knowledge is power and your knowledge of diabetes will help you maintain a healthy life for years to come.

Our pharmacists can answer your questions about diabetes. Let our knowledge help increase your knowledge to better control the disease.

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial A3

Rob says goodbye as Ray says hello

There’s a changing of the guard within the North Cowichan/Duncan and Shawnigan Lake RCMP detachments. Rob Webb has already left the Shawnigan detachment to be replaced as detachment commander by Scott Stephen, who’s currently wrapping up his duties with the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP. See story below. Webb is now in a human resources role at Island Dis-

trict Headquarters. The community will be thanking him for his services on Wednesday, Nov. 6. The gathering will take place at the Mill Bay Community Hall at 7 p.m. and everyone is welcome. “At that time we hope to present him with a printed collage of various photos of his involvement in the community,’’ noted Shirley Walker, president of the South Cowichan Community Policing Advisory Society.

Meanwhile, Ray Carfantan started settling into his new position Monday as detachment commander for North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP, replacing Kevin Hewco. After leaving Island District Headquarters, Carfantan rode in the Tour de Rock Cops For Cancer fundraiser and then visited his daughter at the University of Montevallo in Alabama before assuming his new duties.

“She was immediately taken by ambulance to Cowichan District Hospital, and was then transferred to Victoria General Hospital where she died on the evening of Oct. 23.” The coroner, WorkSafeBC, and RCMP continue to investigate the incident, McLintock notes. WorkSafeBC is investigating exactly how Feeley came to be under that Stone Pacific Contracting gravel truck, towing a trailer, on the work site opposite Cowichan school board offices on Beverly Street. “We’re at such early stages of the investigation,” WorkSafeBC’s Alexandra Skinner-Reynolds said Thursday, noting the probe could take a couple of months. But Melissa (Moo) Cottam of Moo’s, and Sophy Roberge at Island Return-It (formerly the Cowichan Valley Bottle Depot) are taking benevolent action now to financially assist Feeley’s family. Cottam answered a facebook post by local Julie Grimsson about helping Feeley’s mourning family. “I did it human-to-human,” Cottam

told the News Leader Pictorial about facebook auctioning of her pizza feasts, then matching a $400 bid Thursday. Cottam said she didn’t know Feeley, but acted to help — even before official word the flagger had died. “Her family needed help, regardless of what state (Feeley was in),” she said. One generous guy also dropped $50 in to her pizza shop, along the Island Highway in Cobble Hill, for the cause. “I have opened an account at the bottle depot in Duncan so please drop off your empties for the account Maggie Feeley,” Grissom wrote on facebook. “I will be at the Cowichan Secondary school parking lot this Saturday from nine to 12 collecting bottles, so please share this with everyone you know.” At Island Return-It, marketing manager Roberge said all ready-to-drink beverage containers will get a 10-cent refund toward the depot’s Feeley fund. “We’re actually pretty touched,” she said of Cowichan’s kindness. The depot has created the Maggie The Flaggirl Account so proceeds from sorted recyclables can be donated. “It’s just to help the community; we’re there to help,” said Roberge.

CENTRAL SECTOR LIQUID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS TO SERVE ON THE

PUBLIC & TECHNICAL LIQUID WASTE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) is proceeding with an amendment to the Central Sector Liquid Waste Management Plan.

Protestors demonstrate in front of Walmart Friday, urging the store to remove farmed salmon from its shelves.

Protestors want farmed salmon off store shelves Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

small group of protestors against stores selling openpen farmed salmon took their message to Duncan’s Walmart Supercentre Tuesday. “Safeway and Overwaitea have already changed their policies,” said Shawna Green of Wild Salmon Forever. She explained Walmart brass have signalled a willingness to ban open-pen farmed salmon, but failed to pull it from their freezers. “They haven’t changed a thing. Our job is to let people know, so maybe (Walmart) will change its policy. It’s really up to consumers now.”

Walmart leaders are following the retail giant’s sustainable-seafood policy — while keeping doors open to feedback from groups such as Green’s, plus other nongovernment groups, its corporate affairs director said. Alex Roberton explained his company’s policy recognizes claims by various NGOs, the Global Aquaculture Alliance, and followers of best aquaculture practices. “At this point, we don’t have any plans to pull open-pen farmed salmon from our shelves, but we’ll continue dialogue (with various groups),” he told the News Leader Pictorial from headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario. Green, and several other supporters in Duncan, claimed activity and compounds in openpen fish farms are damaging the

coastal environment — claims that are vehemently disputed by the industry and not supported by government. They also cited sea lice, and three viruses, affecting wild-salmon stocks. “It’s affecting the ecosystem,” Green said. “Lots of people don’t know the dangers of open-pen farmed salmon.” Protestor Leanne Hodges claimed she does. The former federal fisheries worker explained she left her job in 1997 after realizing what she saw as impacts of openpen farmed salmon on wild stocks. “No one knows if salmon parasites go into people. It’s insanity on multiple levels.” Hodges explained how wild salmon help sustain some 200 plant-and-animal species in coastal ecosystems.

Cowichan, get ready to live like you were dying Tim McGraw: SunFest headliner a game-changer

lbum sales in excess of 40 million in the United States alone. Eleven consecutive albums to debut at number one on the Billboard album charts. Twenty-five number one hit singles. Fourteen Academy of Country Music awards, 10 American Music awards and three Grammys. The eighth best-selling music artist of the 1990s and the 2000s. And co-headliner (with his wife, Faith Hill) of the highest-grossing tour in country music history. You could say Tim McGraw is kind A-list star of a big star — maybe the biggest — will have eyes in the world of country music. And you have to applaud the folks at turned to Wideglide Entertainment for scorCowichan ing this coup and vaulting Duncan’s annual SunFest to the pinnacle of the national country scene. It wasn’t that many years ago that SunFest was the home to relatively modest ambitions and a series of aging Canadian classic rock acts like Trooper, Tom Cochrane and Kim Mitchell. Switching the event’s focus was an intriguing choice that proved to be a perceptive reading of the prevailing winds of local tastes. But that pales in comparison to the ambition shown by adding increasingly popular and expensive acts to the marquee in a bid to push SunFest from a comfortable evening for 3,000 people to a three-day party for 15,000. But an act like McGraw — an A List’s A-Lister — is pushing things to a whole other level. And it could make an unprecedented impact on the valley next summer. The eyes of the province will be on Cowichan next summer. Others talk about what should be done to bolster interest in our community. Wideglide did something.

We say:

Seeing both sides of: farmed ﬁsh in local stores The case for

The case against Many think open-pen farmed salmon are a threat to sensitive wild stocks, as carriers for sea lice and other parasites. They believe concentrated numbers of fish within the pens pose a risk to the surrounding environment and the conditions these fish are raised in can lead to their flesh having lower nutritional value. Why take the risk? Getting farmed fish off store shelves is better for consumers and nature alike.

These protestors want farmed ﬁsh off store shelves.

What, exactly, are they teaching our children? Tom Fletcher Black Press

As the B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive moseys back to the bargaining table, I’m reminded of former education minister George Abbott’s thoughts on his time trying to establish a civil discussion with the province’s most militant union. It started with a lecture. “In my first meeting with the BCTF, and I gather this is characteristic of all first meetings with education ministers, the TF advises that yes, they are a union, but first and foremost they are social activists and agents of social change,” Abbott recalled. Their buzzword is “social justice,” which is portrayed by leftists as superior to plain old justice, in ways that are seldom defined. So what exactly are the goals of this “social change”? Parents may recall the 2008 introduction of an elective high school course called Social

Justice 12. This was mainly the result of intense protest by a couple of gay activist teachers, and the ministry curriculum describes its emphasis on inclusion of racial, cultural and sexual differences. That’s all good, and it’s now bolstered by urgently needed anti-bullying and empathy efforts at all grades. Then there is the BCTF version. It’s not just a battle against “racism, homophobia and sexism” but also “poverty and globalization.” The BCTF has a Social Justice Newsletter. Readers of the latest issue are reminded at length the United Nations takes a dim view of Canada’s record on human rights. Undefined poverty statistics are cited, although Statistics Canada has nothing but incomplete relative measures. One article describes a social justice club for Grade 2s and 3s, with activities that include collecting food bank donations and “writing the premier asking for a systemic plan to address child poverty.”

The ﬁsh farming industry has repeatedly addressed the concerns raised by its opponents. The government has examined these same concerns and decided to allow salmon farming to continue. Armed with both sides of the argument, consumers and businesses are wise enough to make their own choices about whether or not to buy. Let them.

BC VIEWS

Leaving aside whether eight-year-olds understand what “systemic” means, this rhetoric is taken directly from the tired old NDP policy book. It rests on the cherished myth that poverty is imposed by right-wing governments that refuse to double the minimum wage and pile more taxes on “the rich.” And what about that darned “globalization”? The BCTF still has a 2001 teaching guide on its website promoting the claim Nike is uniquely guilty of making shoes and exercise gear in Third World sweatshops. Teachers are to instruct students how to organize a boycott of Nike, thus passing the received wisdom of campus radicalism to the next generation. This was all debunked years ago. A quick web search will show this is a stale old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid complex questions. A BCTF official assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe they could check their teaching unit

on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice” truth team. Entitled What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Supertankers, it boasts wildlife photos and “key sources” from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) to the far-left fringe (Pipe Up Network). It is another protesters’ guide designed around a pre-determined viewpoint. BCTF bosses love to talk about the importance of “critical thinking.” These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite.

Flaggers need more protection

Dear editor Regardless of who may be a fault for this week’s tragic flagger accident, much more needs to be done to protect traffic control persons and ensure guidelines are strictly followed. I was a TCP and can tell you that far too often it is the fault of the driver that most of these kind of accidents happen. It is rare anything is ever done for those of us who dare to undertake such a dangerous job not to mention the little pay there is for doing so. Controllers are often abused for the work they do and it is rare they are rewarded for keeping the public and the work crews safe. Let us demand better but hope for the best.

Signs of culture: Oral histories collected and added to displays

News Leader Pictorial

ignage and oral histories are now part of the world’s largest collection of outdoor totem poles, City of Duncan staff says. Completion of the Totem Interpretive Project was toasted Wednesday morning in Charles Hoey Park, beside the train station-museum building. Signs fronting Totem Town’s 37 poles were developed based on oral histories recorded from carvers and their families. Those stories, collected by Jane Mertz, accessed previously unknown information about the artists and their kin — and acknowledges the artists’ voices in the stories of the poles they made. Carvers’ cultural knowledge is now housed in the Cowichan Valley Museum and Archives for use by visitors and scholars. Duncan’s totem project began in 1985 to help lure tourists and locals to town. The project also includes an

each of the four different age categories. Don’t be surprised to see some shop owners add to the atmosphere by dressing in costume, and offering treats to those close by. Other SPOOKY activities for kids will be a fabulous Halloween character photobooth next to the CIBC, and maybe a few other SPOOKY surprises . . . like a ZOMBIE WALK! Keep a gooey eyeball out for the zombie walk coming through the streets of downtown Duncan, starting at 10:30a.m. Follow the undead back to activities, an art raffle & BBQ fundraiser for United Way at Charles Hoey Park, being hosted by Cowichan Community Options Society. In addition, the Island Savings Centre is offering a $2 Halloween Skate from 1:00p.m. - 2:20p.m. and will be accepting non-perishable donations for the Food Bank. For the Fright Night ghouls, the Aquatic Centre has their activities in an entirely HAUNTED POOL from 6:00 8:30pm! Contrary to popular belief, downtown Duncan really does have plenty of accessible street and lot parking, which can be found off of Canada Avenue, Kenneth, Duncan, and Government Streets. Or if you’d rather, why not try something possibly completely different, and take the bus (a.k.a: our Cowichan Valley Regional Transit System), by having them safely drop you and your scary brood off, at the bus stop right next to our historical train station? Once you’ve arrived, everything is within easy walking distance, so go ahead and take the time to experience what we have to offer during this Halloween season!

New Faces New Places One of Downtown Duncan’s newest additions has also been nominated for a most prestigious national fashion award. Eliza Faulkner, who operates a studio upstairs at the former SilverFern Clinic on Jubilee Street, is presently in Toronto as a nominee for “Designer of the year 2013 – Ones to Watch!” Eliza’s sense of fashion is quite obviously in her genes as the daughter of Jean Cardno, owner of the Island’s favourite shoe store Cardino’s Shoes! Combining sporty fabrics with feminine touches, Eliza’s designs echo the casually fashionable vibe of the West Coast.

weekly compilation of facts, figures, and fascinating Cowichan culture: • Given Cowichan Valley Hospice’s fundraising yardage from its popular Reel Alternatives film series, folks should mark Oct. 28, 7 p.m. on their calenders for Cowichan Theatre’s screening of No. It sees ad executive Gael Garcia Bernal cook a campaign to defeat Chile’s late brutal dictator Augusto Pinochet in the torn country’s 1988 referendum. • Cowichan’s POGs have hung a host of hand-pulled prints in the community centre’s PORTALS gallery until Oct. 29.

Repaired and Replaced

The Printmakers Only Group show will be chased by the arts council’s perennially popular Teeny Tiny Art Works Show, sporting pieces 8 by 10 inches and smaller. • Trisha Oldfield’s fanciful array of multi-media works called (My) Body Of Work in Cowichan Theatre’s lobby will be swapped in November by painter Tammi Hunter’s acrylicon-canvas display dubbed Common Threads. Work in the lobby changes monthly; December heralds painter Barry Coté’s bright acrylic works titled Some Old, Some New. • It was good seeing August’s SunFest headliner Thompson Square — couple Shawna and Keifer — on Arsenio Hall Oct. 8. • Canadian tenor-titan John

McDermott delighted a Cowichan Theatre crowd during his Looking Back anniversarytour launch in Duncan. The laid-back gentleman crooner told jokes and moving stories between tunes spanning The Dream, All The Diamonds, and To The End Of The Road to My Bonnie and his trademark hit Danny Boy. After hearing songs from the Scottish lad’s first two decades, we’re looking forward to McDermott’s next valley visit. Tenor concert rating: 10 tartans out of 10. • Ballet Victoria spared us any monstrous clichés during its marvelous masterpiece Frankenstein, staged Oct. 18 in the Cowichan Theatre. Instead, dancing-choreographer Paul Destrooper (Igor) and his troupe wedded the classic Giselle ballet with author Mary Shelley’s chilling tale of amok morals when egotists such as Dr. Frankenstein (Eric Hall) play God by creating life — like his stitch-chested monster (Matthew Cluff).

The clean, comfortable choice: the value of natural gas By Kerry Vital Natural gas is rapidly becoming a popular way of powering your home, for a large variety of reasons. One of the benefits of natural gas according to FortisBC is its convenience factor. Natural gas is available at the push of a button, so you don’t need to worry about running out of fuel for your barbecue, or having to wait for your fireplace or outdoor firepit to get hot. It is easy to find stylish and functional appliances that use natural gas, so homeowners never have to sacrifice their sense of style. Imagine coming home from a long day at work and being able to sit in front of your natural gas-fuelled fireplace with a glass of wine, or toss together a gourmet meal for a dinner party with your gas cooktop or oven. That dream is easily made possible with a natural gas system. One of the great things about a natural gas cooktop and oven is its ability to cook food evenly. You will no longer have to worry about burning one side of the pan while the other is undercooked. Natural gas can also heat your hot tub or pool, which is especially important when it’s cool outside. The water will be heated consistently and quickly, so your relaxation can begin almost immediately. Canada is the world’s third largest producer of natural gas, so it is an abundant source of energy, as well as being extremely popular. Natural gas meets 30 per cent of Canada’s energy needs, according to FortisBC. It is also a cleaner type of energy, emitting almost 30 per cent less carbon dioxide than oil. Another fantastic benefit to natural gas service is the value it adds to your home. Because of its popularity and other benefits, it can contribute to a better resale value for your home. While you’re living in your home, having natural gas services make it easier to convert other appliances to natural gas when your budget permits. Homeowners with natural gas service

will be interested in the rebates that are available through FortisBC in a variety of categories. The first is for space and water heating. You can receive a $1,000 rebate for swapping your oil or propane heating system to natural gas and installing a new ENERGY STAR-rated high-efficiency heating system. Replacing your old water heater with a qualifying natural gas ENERGY STAR model will also make you eligible for a rebate of up to $500. “Heating water can consume 20 to 25 per cent of a home’s total energy use,” says Beth Ringdahl, program manager, energy efficiency and conservation for FortisBC. “So when it comes to looking at natural gas-powered water heaters, it makes sense to get the most efficient model you can find. Some of the new technologies make it possible to get a tank-less model, which is a bonus for smaller spaces.” In the appliances category, homeowners who buy a qualified ENERGY STAR washing machine will receive a $75 rebate if they purchase the new machine by Dec. 31. ENERGY STAR washing machines use 35 to 50 per cent less water, just as one of their benefits. Keeping warm with an EnerChoice

fireplace will net you a $300 rebate if you purchase it by May 31, 2013. EnerChoice fireplaces must have a minimum of 62.4 per cent efficiency rating for a fireplace, 61 per cent for an insert and 66 per cent for a free-standing stove. Not having to keep a supply of firewood on hand is just one more great thing about having a natural gas fireplace. Those in low-income households are able to take advantage of the Energy Conservation Assistance Program, which offers a free home energy evaluation, free installation of energy saving products and personalized advice. If you are a FortisBC natural gas customer, a BC Hydro customer and live in a low-income household, you can apply on the FortisBC website. “FortisBC offers a number of energyefficiency incentives that help homeowners get the most out of their natural gas appliances and space heating,” says Ringdahl. “For example, FortisBC is a partner in the LiveSmart BC program for whole home retrofits. This provides homeowners energy audits that point out easy ways to make energy-efficient improvements and rebates to save on energy costs.” However, rebates are not the only way homeowners save with a natural gas system. FortisBC states that natural gas heating equipment such as furnaces are 98 per cent efficient, so heating costs are lower than with other types of systems, such as oil or propane. A natural gas water heater heats water more efficiently than other methods, and can dramatically bring down your heating costs. For more information about natural gas services, check out FortisBC’s website at www.fortisbc.com. In-depth rebate information can be found there, as well as information about the types of appliances available, more benefits of natural gas and information on accessing your account.

Natural gas. Good for shaving expenses. Heating water accounts for about 20 per cent of your home’s energy use. Choosing a high-efficiency natural gas model offers plenty of hot water when you need it—plus savings on your energy costs. Rebates are available.

Williams wrote the book on music teaching

tudents learn while music teachers turn pages in composer Garth Williams’ instructional book The Scampering Scarecrow (And Other Pieces). “This book took me the past spring and summer to put together,” the veteran teaching violinist said of his easy-learning book for violin and piano. “The individual pieces were on my website, and I wanted to put a book together for situations where I could explain in the book, and on the pages. “Every piece has the scale the piece is written in, along with the rhythms contained in that piece; it’s really a good teaching medium.” Williams said he recognized younger instructors needed direction on how to go about teaching a piece. Peter W Rusland “My plan is to have a teacher start with the Garth Williams showcased his new music teaching book — and his violin skill — during the News Leader Pictorial’s Big scale, then use the rhythms that go along with it, Book Sale in September. because the rhythms are taken from the piece. “Before the student starts learning the piece, one, but I kind of forgot it.” Hesitant and Skipping Rabbit tunes are for they’ve spent time working on its scale and Other Scarecrow pieces (the title tune honours Easter. rhythms,” he said, of works usually holding four Jonah Chua) include The Mischievous Mop “What’s important about my book is chilor five rhythms.

Mr. Williams taught me that Halloween.” so I’ve recorded all the pieces on MP3,” he said.

“If someone buys the book, they can go to the website and download all the MP3 files for free.” For pupils working on a particular piece, Williams has scanned in all the piano pieces for Scarecrow and other tunes. “I can slow down the speed so they can play it comfortably, and we can gradually speed it up,” he said of the MP3 files. “You can increase the speed as the student’s ready to handle a new speed. It makes the whole learning process easier for teacher and student,” he said of his teaching tools. “With MP3 players, teachers with the book can do exactly what I do in my studio.” Students can also load piano parts onto USB drives for practice playing the violin parts with the piano. The violin parts of a tune can be downloaded too. “Because they know the piano part, they can practise knowing they’re in the right part. It’s a great teaching tool.” Williams advertises his book, and teaching method, in the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers magazine. His ad also appears in the B.C. Music Teachers journal Progressions. “I think teachers will really use it. “A teacher in P.E.I. bought the book and says all her kids have played seven of the 11 pieces,” he said, noting his MP3 files were also used. Instructors of any instrument can use his readlisten-play, speed-flexible format for any piece. “Find the rhythms of a piece, and use all my suggestions in my book — you build it like building a chimney,” he summed. Williams is eager to show and tell his method during music-studio demonstrations, or conventions. “That’s the best way to show people how it works,” he said. He’s aiming for a spring concert of Scarecrow works played by his students, accompanied by his pianist wife, Ruth. The Scampering Scarecrow sells for $21.50 at Duncan Music, Long & McQuade, and Tom Lee Music. It’s $20 on Williams’ website kantatastudios.com.

Delightful instrumental Interlude In E Minor, was a hauntingly sultry tune by McKeen and bassist Martyn Jones. Guest sax man Pierre Komen’s reed work was refreshing throughout, exhibited nicely on the tragic Ode To Billie Joe, and upbeat wish Happy Days To You. McKeen has evolved far past the reluctant singer/songwriter who emerged from Cowichan’s musical closet back in 1997. Recordings like Auracles testify to the untapped talent waiting in us all.

Yes, 11-song Auracles is understandably imbued by McKeen’s multi-faceted feelings spanning humour (Cupful Of Guitar Picks, pulled from fretman Ed Peekeekoot’s dryer), to playful (Midnight Man), prophetic (Life’s Like A Mirror), and inspiring (Why Not?, the simple question from a Haitian woman rescued from quake rubble). She and her band — anchored by drummer Andy Okell — strolled other musical avenues too.

RYZAK, Daryl Alwyn (November 5, 1954 May 11, 2013) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Daryl Ryzak. Daryl was born in Chemainus on November 5, 1954. He was predeceased by his mother Freda. He will be lovingly remembered by all his family: his father George, his daughter Tanya (2 grandchildren - Elijah and Isaiah), his sisters Georgia (Nikos), Tanya and Tammy (Ron), his brothers Randy and Ian, his stepsister Susan, his stepbrother Chris and his stepmother Peggy, his aunts Ethel and Anne and several nieces and nephews. Daryl grew up in the Cowichan Valley a place very dear to his heart. Daryl loved the woods and the rivers and streams and fishing and hiking were his great joys. For some time Daryl lived close to 2 nieces and 2 nephews and he so much enjoyed time spent with them (Carmen and Bethany, Elijah and Jordan). Daryl also derived great satisfaction from his excellent art work. Darylâ€™s deep love for God gave him peace and comfort. A Celebration of Darylâ€™s life will be held on October 26th at the H.W. Wallace Cremation & Burial Centre, 5285 Polkey Rd, Duncan, BC at 1pm.

H.W. Wallace 5285 Polkey Rd. 250-701-0001 FORREST, Charles J FIMI Oct. 8, 1938 â€“ Oct. 16, 2013 Charles was eldest son of John and Christina Forrest, born in Govan, Glasgow, Scotland. He passed away quietly and with dignity in the Cowichan District Hospital after a short intense illness. He is survived by his one true love, Sheila, his daughters Karen (Mark) Turner and Elaine (Richard), his grandchildren, Kathryn and William Turner, his brother Ian and several cousins, nieces and nephews in Scotland and Canada. Charles had a long and distinguished career in the Automotive Industry beginning in 1957 when he graduated from the Engineering College in Auto Mechanics. He was a heavy truck mechanic in the RAF and did a tour of duty in Cyprus. After immigrating to Victoria in 1970, he became a Marine Power Mechanic on the W.J. Stewart for the Hydrographic Department of the Federal Government. In 1971, he returned to the Automotive Industry when he joined Metro Toyota Ltd., a career that lasted until he retired in 2008. An important member of the team at Metro and with the Jim Pattison Automotive group, Charles received many awards for Excellence in Parts and Service Management and Customer Service from Toyota Canada. For himself, a highpoint in his career was when he achieved his FIMI, Fellowship in the Institute of the Motor Industry. Charles Forrest was so much more than a knowledgeable and distinguished â€˜carâ€™ guy. First and foremost he was a devoted and loving husband, marrying Sheila on June 6, 1961. A great father to Karen and Elaine, he was not above a good snowball fight, piggy back rides or camping in Tofino. He supported and encouraged his daughters, grand-children and â€œguidsonsâ€? to be the very best they could be and was proud of all the achievements they made. An avid photographer, he pursued photography and darkroom techniques with the same enthusiasm that he approached life in general. He loved RC models, building, flying and driving them. He enjoyed woodwork and helping his neighbors with special projects. He will be missed the most for his wry sense of humor, laughter and the light that he brought to everyday life. Always positive, although sometime stubborn, he was the best of fathers, the greatest of mentors to many and a man of great character and integrity. All of these things made him successful in life. We say good-bye, with love and know that in our memories, Charles will always be with us. In lieu of flowers, if wishing, donations may be made to the Cowichan Hospital Foundation. A Celebration of Life will be held on November 2, 2013 at 1:00pm at the Vancouver Island Greek Community Society Hall, 4648 Elk Lake Dr, Victoria BC.

BERGSTROM, Karl Johan Rune Rune passed away in the Cowichan District Hospital peacefully on October 21, 2013. He was born on October 20, 1927 and immigrated from Sweden in the late 1950â€™s. Rune loved his wife Marie of 45 years dearly which they were seldom separated over the past few years. Rune is predeceased by his son Terry, his parents Erik, Alinda, and Frida, and in-laws James &Â Rachael Lewis. Dad is lovingly remembered by Gary (Sandra), Kelly (Vicky), Rick (Patti), Shelley (Manuel), and Teresa (Ralph). Papa was cherished by Jacqueline, Christina, Christopher, Richard, Parker, Kendall and great-grand children Nixon and Adelyn. Rune was loved by his many extended family and friends. Rune loved his 4 seasons of Fishing, Gardening, Playing cards, and Hockey. Everyone enjoyed seeing his flowers as they passed by his home. Rune has a special place in his heart for his home away from home â€˜Port Renfrewâ€™. He was active member with the Royal Canadian Legion, local seniors centre, and the Scandinavian Club in the past years. Celebration of Life will be held on October 26 in the Basement of the Centennial Hall at 12:00pm. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Sylvia Eha Bligh

March 15, 1939 - October 23, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sylvia following a courageous battle with cancer. Survived by her loving family; husband Gordon, daughters Sandra and Kathryn; and her brother Bob. Sylvia was devoted to her family and had many happy memories of trips taken, particularly to Long Beach and time spent at home and in her garden. Always thoughtful, Sylvia never forgot a birthday or special occasion. Throughout her illness she maintained her typical determination and unique sense of humour. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. At Sylvia's request, there will be no service. Flowers and donations gratefully declined.

As a young man he joined the Royal Navy, serving from 1947 until 1949.Â He immigrated to Canada in 1950 and joined the R.C.A.F.Â His military career as a transport pilot took him around the world.Â Flying the Hercules Transport C-130 on missions to trouble zones like Korea, Kashmir and Cyprus, he became part of the renowned Canadian Peacekeepers.Â In 1988 the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces, and Jeff, along with those who served with him, was named as sharing the honour.Â A modest man, he rarely mentioned the recognition of his contribution, and many who knew him were unaware of this part of his history.Â In 1974 he ended his military career, retiring as a Squadron Leader.Â During the ensuing years, (1974-1986) Jeff flew for the Department of Transport as a check pilot.Â Flying across the country, he felt a particular attraction to the Arctic and Coastal B.C., hearing the siren call of ocean scattered with islands, and determined to live on the Pacific side of the continent.Â He landed into full retirement on Saltspring Island, then later in Duncan.Â He loved to look out across the water and monitor the passing boats.Â His life settled into happy quiet routine, the enjoyment of literature, travelogues and walks along native trails.Â He was a learned reader as well as a devoted cryptic crossword player.Â He loved the hunt for words, and kept a reference library devoted to the cause.Â All who knew him recognized him as a gentleman of thoughtful good taste and kind consideration.Â His last days ended as he wished, shared lovingly with Sandy beside him.Â He walked along the beach watching the water lift the boats at their mooring.Â He settled into his favourite chair.Â Just as life began for Jeff at home, so too, it quietly ended, his last breath taken in the comforting surround of home.

THANK YOU On October 7th we approached the LCVFD about joining in to assist us with a fundraiser for the Newman Family. Without hesitation they were on board and that night the NEWMAN Family Fundraiser was in the works. We simply cannot express our thanks to each and everyone of you for helping make this such a success. Our goal was 3 months worry free for the family or about $12,000.00. The total reached in those 12 days was $33,644.00. Thank you to the businesses, the individuals, the service clubs, and the volunteers. It warms our hearts to know that along with the Cowichan Valley it was Vancouver Island as a whole that has come together and shown support in a time of need. Darlene Pohn and Laurie Johnson

DEATHS

COZENS, Jean It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jean Cozens of Lake Cowichan on October 21, 2013. Jean is survived by her husband Bill, brothers Ken (Anne) and Ron (Shirley), sisters Arlene (Len) and Judy, son Marty (Sue), daughter Charlene (Markus), step-daughters Karmen and Candice, and grandsons Lukas, Liam and Logan Wenzel. Born in Edmonton in 1941, Jean moved to Victoria in her 20’s with her young family. She worked for 26 years at the Law Courts, retiring to Lake Cowichan in 1996. Despite a short and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer, Jean was grateful for her many healthy years of retirement, travelling the world, boating and skiing, enjoying her grandsons immensely, annual trailering trips to Mexico with Bill, and building a new home on the lake. Jean hiked with Victoria’s Club Tread and the Duncan Hiking Club. She set up the Cowichan Lake “Retreads”, brought the Terry Fox run back in 2011, and explored with the Cowichan Valley ATV Club. She was a regular among the “Red Hatters”, enjoyed bridge and scrabble, and her love of badminton took her to the 96 Atlanta Games as an official. Her spirit blossomed in retirement, as could be seen by the wide, infectious smile that will so be missed. In lieu of flowers, a donation in her honour can be made to the Victoria Hospice, where she spent her final days. Heartfelt thanks to the amazing staff, and friends and family who went out of their way to make Jean comfortable: Willa, Candice, Penny, Charlene, and Edie. A celebration of her life will be held at the Cowichan Lake Curling Club on Saturday, November 9th from 1-4. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Second half surge overcomes a slow start by the Bulldogs Skeleton crew: Injuries force remaining members to raise the level of their play Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

t took a while to get on track, but all’s well that ends well for the Cowichan Midget Bulldogs. The ‘Dogs found themselves trailing 10-1 at halftime in a Vancouver Mainland Football League game against the White Rock South Surrey Titans, but rallied for a 21-10 victory. “We came out weak in the first half,’’ said Cowichan coach Doug (Opie) Williams. “We had a few injuries.’’ The Bulldogs were without Darren Aitchison, Kain Melchior and Eric Williams for starters. “Three of the four starting receivers were out and there was a couple of guys missing on D (defence),’’ said Williams. Take out Kole Lochbaum, Wyatt MacWatt and Clayton Key there and the Bulldogs were left with a real skeleton crew, even though Halloween’s still a week away. Near the end of the second quarter, Nick Thomas suffered a neck injury that required attention

from ambulance attendants. Fortunately, Drayson Price returned from injury and got things going in the second half for the Bulldogs. “We made some adjustments at halftime to stop their running game,’’ said Williams. “And the offense really started to move the ball.’’ Price broke a counter play down to the two-yard line and then Liam Palcu-Johnston punched the ball in for a touchdown. Price then ran in for a TD himself and Darian Slater added two field goals to put away the Titans. Williams cited Eddy Walt and Niko Stephenson for their solid play among the Bulldogs’ limited personnel. The Bulldogs complete the regular season with road games against Meadow Ridge Saturday and Nanaimo Sunday, Nov. 3. The Nanaimo/Cowichan Red Dogs fell to 2-5 on the season after a 10-0 loss to North Delta Longhorns in a preceding game at McAdam Park.

Bantams’ success starts in the net Stingy defence: Few goals against and a balanced attack leads to Seafair title

Andrew Leong

Looks of determination show on the faces of Cowichan Secondary’s Sam Gillman and Billy George of Gulf Islands, who go stride-for-stride with each other in pursuit of the ball. Gulf Islands won a few more pursuits in the senior boys’ high school soccer game at the Cowichan Sportsplex last Thursday, taking a 7-1 victory.

ack-to-back tournaments produced great results for the Cowichan Valley Bantam AAA Capitals rep hockey team. The Caps won their eight-team division at the Seafair tournament in Richmond Thanksgiving weekend. Cowichan doubled Cloverdale 4-2, beat Racquet Club 7-2 and lost 5-4 to Seafair in the round robin. The Caps only gave up two goals in their playoff games, defeating Nanaimo 6-1in the semis and 4-1 during a rematch in the final with Seafair. “It was good play all-around,’’ said Cowichan coach Derek Topping of his team. Chris Akerman and Derek Krall split the goaltending duties and both were outstanding.

Ben Berard was the leader of the offense. “Beyond that, everything was spread around,’’ said Topping. Kyle Topping and Trey Watson, both returnees from last year’s team that hosted the provincial championships, were effective throughout the tournament. “A lot of the kids managed to put pucks in the net,’’ said Derek Topping. The Caps headed to Kelowna for another tournament last weekend and came close to winning again against a whole different field of teams. Victories by 4-2 counts over Abbotsford, 6-3 over Richmond and 6-4 over Hollyburn got things rolling. The surge ended with a 6-4 loss to Langley in the semifinals. “For stretches, we were the better team,’’ said Topping. Langley opened up a 5-2 lead, but the Caps cut it to 5-4 and looked dangerous at making a successful comeback. Berard had a breakaway, but hit the crossbar. “That could have been the difference right there,’’ said Topping. Langley added another goal on a late power play to clinch the win. The Caps have just one game this weekend, playing at Nanaimo Saturday.

owichan United’s four-game winning streak ended in Div. 2 of the Island Soccer League with a 2-1 loss to the Saanich Fusion Saturday. Saanich remained undefeated at 6-0-1 while United is tied with Comox Valley for second place, but has played two more games. Cowichan came out strong against United with chances by Kevin Smith

and Matt Fitzgibbon scored a goal at the 35-minute mark on a long ball from Adam Taft. “We controlled the game until the half with aggressive checking and moving the ball forward very quickly,’’ noted Cowichan’s Neall Rowlings. But the second half was a different story. “The difference was they never took their foot off the gas and we did,’’ offered Rowlings. Saanich tied it on a turnover and notched the winner with four minutes left on a long throw and header flick.

Crossing shot by Kerry Park’s Braedan Cross causes chaos for Comox Valley goalie Michael Hails and defenceman Calvin Hadley in the first period Friday. The Glacier Kings came back from a 2-0 first-period deficit to win 4-2 over the Islanders at Kerry Park Arena.

Season series with Comox all over

Scheduling oddity: Islanders can only take one of four meetings in rapid succession Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

erry Park Islanders started and finished playing the Comox Valley Glacier Kings in one fell swoop. The teams completed all four Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League meetings against each other in the span of just nine days, with back-to-back meetings on Oct. 11-12 and 18-19. “Usually we see a lot of the south (teams),’’ said Islanders’ captain Eric Mansueti. “For some reason, we got rid of Comox for this year.’’ That’s the way the schedule worked out and the Islanders are disappointed to have only won one of the four games between the teams. “We actually have pretty weird games with them, for some reason,’’ said Mansueti. “This last weekend we just struggled with consistency. Obviously, it wasn’t what we wanted. They’re definitely a beatable team.’’ The Islanders lost 4-2 to the Glacier Kings in a rare Friday night game at Kerry Park Arena. The rematch Saturday in Courtenay was much the same, although the Islanders fought back from a 3-1 deficit for a

point during a 4-3 overtime setback. “We turned it on in the last eight minutes,’’ said Mansueti of the second game. Alex Milligan and Corey Peterson scored during the first period of Friday’s game. Comox Valley tied it in the second after peppering Islanders’ goalie Leighton Williams with 24 shots and scored the eventual winner early in the third on a power play. The Islanders only had one goal from Francis Lapierre-Slicer to show for their efforts the next night until Milligan scored with just 5:45 remaining and Lapierre-Slicer added another with 3:58 left. Ali Gotmy secured the win for the Glacier Kings with a goal at 4:14 of overtime. Jackson Jane played goal for the Islanders and kept his team in the game with 32 saves. The Islanders faced a dubious task Thursday, going against the powerful Victoria Cougars on the road. “We have good games against them,’’ said Mansueti. “I feel like we can compete against Victoria.’’ The key, he said, was discipline because Victoria has the best power play in the league. Last time the Islanders faced the Cougars Oct. 13, they gave up four power play goals in a 7-0 defeat. The Islanders also play Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Kerry Park Arena against the Peninsula Panthers.

owichan Rugby Club teams created quite a buzz in Nanaimo Saturday. But it wasn’t good news for the hometown Hornets teams that all lost to the invading Piggies. The Cowichan women’s team recorded its first victory of the season by taking a 22-15 decision. It was an evenly-matched game during a previous meeting of the teams. “Last time we played them we were short players and only lost by two tries and this weekend we had a full squad,’’ noted Cowichan captain Sherry Spence. Laura Russell came back from a concussion in Cowichan’s first game to score three tries. Jamaina McLeod added a try, converted by Tanja Ness. McLeod and Russell were named Cowichan’s players of the game by Nanaimo. The Cowichan Third Division men won 55-0 and the Firsts eked out an 18-17 victory to complete the sweep, with tries by Louis Gudmundseth and David Cowie and eight kicking points from Owen Wood.

rgentinian rugby players already knew all about valley hospitality from last year’s visit to Brentwood College. But the weather provided a completely different experience. The Argentinian team competing in the Americas Cup rugby championships at Langford ventured away from the tournament site last Thursday for a day of training and camaraderie within Brentwood College, enjoying ideal weather compared to last year’s pouring rain. The Argentinians held morning and afternoon training sessions as well as a clinic for Brentwood’s male and female rugby players. “That was a very good part of the afternoon and the weather didn’t hurt,’’ said Brentwood rugby coach Mike Flynn of the clinic put on for the kids. The participants learned the universal language of rugby and that many aspects of the game are the same even at the highest level, other than perhaps being a bit more technical. “From the feedback I got from the coaches and our players — very productive,’’ said Flynn. “We have no insecurity about asking anyone to come in and coach our kids. They just reinforced what we are doing. “When they started coaching, it was very easy for them to communicate with the

kids.’’ Flynn said Brentwood kids who’ve been on tours in the past know all about the benefits of these types of experiences. “One of the best things is when we practiced with the other teams,’’ he said. The Argentinians enjoyed a couple of meals on campus before returning to Victoria. “They said they would love to come back up,’’ said Flynn. “I think they enjoyed the facilities. “They are so passionate

about the sport. They were passionate about passing on and motivating the kids to do well.’’ The players even jumped into the water for a cooling-off period. “They got their ice bath treatment in the ocean,’’ laughed Flynn. The Argentinians took on Canada the next day and won by a narrow margin en route to the tournament title. The U.S. was second at 2-1, Canada went 1-2 and Uruguay 0-3.

Coach Karen: Lake Cowichan mom’s commitment to the game second to none

and District Minor Baseball Association. Hoskins said she felt a little uncomfortable when she learned earlier this week that she was being honoured. “I was embarrassed,” said the 37-year-old mom of two young boys, who also call her “coach.” “I’m not the person who likes to get the recognition, I

just do my part and that’s all it is.” Baseball B.C. sent out a notice earlier this year asking for nominations for the award. Hoskins, who runs a daycare, is also involved in hockey, and was almost a shoo-in for the award, said Ryan Watters, of Baseball B.C. “There are baseball coaches, then there’s Karen Hoskins of

Lake Cowichan,” he said. “I can’t tell you how many candidates we had, but the cool thing is we had candidates from across the province and at different age groups.” The things that tipped the scales in Hoskins’ favour for the first Coach of the Year honours are her commitment to the game and the kids she coaches, said Watters. “They are second-to-none,” he said. “What she does in the community for the baseball

program and for her kids is simply awesome —the hours of volunteer time she puts in is unbelievable.” Watters said a call for coach of the year would go out again next year. “Once again it will be following the summer season across the province and a call out will be made on the Baseball B.C. website and social media channels,” he said.

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial B3

Although Derek Hyde-Lay converted a Cowichan try, he narrowly missed on two penalty attempts in the ﬁrst half against James Bay, resulting in an 11-5 win for the visitors at Wharncliffe Park. Rose, Booth and Irving were sidelined with injuries.

1965: hockey

Coach Tom Yano said he was pleased with the ﬁnal game of the football season when Cowichan Timbermen fought the visiting Campbell River Raiders to a 13-13 tie. Miles Dobson compiled 64 yards on just two of his rushing attempts.

Ray Ellison led the scoring with four goals when Duncan Falcons trounced Nanaimo Juveniles to take ﬁrst place in the Mid-Island Hockey League. Other goals in the 13-2 rout were scored by Grant Carrigan, Gerry Odegaard, Ed Weberg and Ed Bannick.

f you can remember the curling rink was once on James Street, then you probably recall that in October 1965, the future of valley curling looked uncertain. The struggling rink had been purchased by Karm Singh and associates for $48,000, $1,000 more than Duncan Curling Club’s offer that had been rejected by shareholders of Cowichan Cooperative Curling Association. As the lease on the building had been signed by the club for the coming season, the club would continue its normal use of the premises. However, on the heels of the announcement of the sale of the arena to the private group of shareholders, the curling club, the rink’s tenant since the rink opened in 1952, decided they would construct their own facility. Club members offered to contribute to the cost of building on land purchased that year on Sherman Road and cleared by Ellison Excavating. Dr. Peter Postuk was in charge of drawings for the building, and Ken Brownsey served as construction chairman. The executive of the club at the time was Al Taylor, president; Clayton Wright, vice-president; Don McCool, director; Dr. Mel Smith, chairman of finance; Vera Wilson, secretary-treasurer.

The BMWi8

PHOTO SUBMITTED

BMW: Birthplace of the truly green machines LEIPZIG, Germany: BMW believes there is a big future for wind power in its cars. No, not for the propulsion of the prestige brand’s models but the making of their sleek machines of the future. Long before visitors arrive at the auto manufacturer’s new hi-tech factory in this economically depressed region of what was once communist East Germany, they greeted with a wave from four giant wind turbines. Those metal giants power the production of the impressive five-seater BMW i3, test driven today in Driveway. The i3 models now roll silently off the production line; silently, not just because it’s an all-electric vehicle but also because the entire manufacturing process rarely rises above a whisper. The BMW i3 is the first of the manufacturer’s projects for which the environmental sustainability objectives were determinedly set at the same high standards as the economic goals applied to the manufacturing process. Next year, it will be joined by the i8, which looks every inch a super-sports car. To achieve those lofty dual goals, the BMW Group retains close control over the complete production process from the carbon fibre production, which starts in a hydroelectric powered plant in Moses Lake, Wa. Entire noisy and stinky processes associated with manufacturing in steel are gone. Robots screw and bond the important parts together and send the shells on their way, suspended form an overhead rail. Happy workers can actually hear each other chat down on the factory floor, bathed in sunlight and breathing freely courtesy of an efficient hi-tech ventilation system.

Amazingly, the energy used is 50 percent of that required to turn out a conventional car and 70 percent less water is used. My group roamed around looking for waste, which turned out to be a waste (of time) in itself. The bits and bats and ‘wasted’ trim are gathered up and recycled for use elsewhere along the Yhe energy used production line. is 50 percent of that BMW even boasts the required to turn out a lithium ion batteries that will power each conventional car. car’s motor will outlive the individual car’s life. Keith Morgan They can be used as storage batteries when the car is put out to pasture, sorry, recycled. If one of the eight modules should fail then a replacement easily drops in rather than there be a need for an entire battery replacement. The lightweight body is also designed with a view to quick and economical repair in the event of a collision. Body parts again drop into place with the minimum of fuss and cost. They say the cost of a fix will likely mirror that of putting a BMW 1-series back on the road after a similar crash. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca twitter.com/changegears

This new 2014 Mazda3 is the third vehicle to be built using Mazda’s Skyactiv Technology, behind the Mazda CX-5 SUV and Mazda6 sedan. Looks The platform used to build this all new Mazda3 is a shared chassis with the other two Skyactiv products. They elongate, widen or shorten the platform to suit each vehicle. In this case, it is slightly shorter then the CX-5. In fact, the new Mazda3 is lower, wider and slightly shorter than the last model but the wheelbase has been stretched by 60mm. This pushes the wheels out to the corner of the car, providing a solid stance and improving interior space. Then Mazda went about hand forming the body to produce a style that conveys motion, even standing still. Sold as a sedan or

hatchback, the long hood, sweeping lines and powerful stance make a statement in a class that can be rather subdued. Inside The goal for this latest model was to have a dynamic looking interior, fitted with materials and features not typically found in a compact car. The dashboard is covered with, not only a soft material, rather a plush-feeling dash. Then there is the dash-mounted communication screen placed in the centre of the dash. This is standard on the middle GS and upper GT trim; the base GX is not so lucky. The driver can touch the screen to access music, navigation and phone settings but once the car is in motion the screen is only adjustable through a rotary dial controller between the front seats. Mazda places three, easy-to-memories, buttons above the dial for access to the most common functions. On the top GT model there is even a heads-up display that sits right on top of the driver’s instrument cluster, helping to keep the information high enough that it focuses the driver’ s attention on the road. The seats are comfortable and can be fitted with leather on the top model. Even though Mazda lengthened the wheelbase by 60mm, the back seat isn’t long on legroom. Drive By developing the direct injection engines, chassis and transmission at the same time, the Mazda engineers were able to shed weight. The lighter platform and powerful 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp is a nice match on the base and GS trim levels, driving either a 6-speed manual or all-new 6-speed automatic. The top GT is equipped with a 2.5L engine with 184hp but is only available with the automatic. I’m surprised that the manual is not offered with this engine, as driving enthusiast will be attracted to this engine right away. On the road, the steering is very quick and the feedback well above average. The previous Mazda3 was at the top of the class in terms of driving dynamics and this new model takes it to a whole new level. I’m confident in saying that this new model feels like a much more expensive car. Verdict The standard features list is strong, including keyless entry, push button

start, Bluetooth and USB connectivity for $15,995. If you equip the base model with air conditioning and automatic transmission, the price jumps to $18,795. The middle GS trim is the place most Canadians will shop and the range is from $19,695$22,595 for things like heated seats, leather steering wheel, rain sensing wipers and more. The top GT with the larger engine, 18-inch wheels, xenon headlamps, Bose stereo and navigation, ranges from $25,855-$$29,855. As you can see, the price can ratchet up rather quickly. The upside is that

this is a car that can provide solid, fun to drive transportation, wrapped in a stylish package. Higher-end models feel like a much more expensive car, with qualities not found previously in this class of car. So, the price might be justified. I truly believe that Mazda is onto something, this is the best car in the compact class. zack@motormouth.ca The Lowdown Power: 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp or 2.5L with 184hp Fill-up: 9.9L/7.0L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $1`5,995-$29,895

Near New: Ford Fusion 2010 to 2012 Amid lingering global financial turmoil, recession recovery was already in high-gear at Ford, with an over a 40 per cent year-over-year sales gain that made Ford the top-selling automaker in Canada, in 2009. It was also the year it launched an allnew 2010 model year version of its popular mid-sized family car the Ford Fusion. The 2010 Fusion was offered in SE and SEL trim levels with a choice of a 2.5-litre I4 Six standard or a 3.0-litre V6 engines airbags helped the and a 3.5-litre V6 powered an all-new Fusion Fusion attain a top Sport model with five-star crash-test all-wheel-drive. Ford rating. also introduced its first hybrid edition of Fusion Bob McHugh with an Atkinson cycle version of the 2.5-litre engine and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (e-CVT). The hybrid’s battery is a nickel-metal hydride type that’s smaller and lighter than competitors and it’s temperature is controlled by air extracted from the passenger cabin. Claimed city/highway fuel consumption is a very impressive 4.6/5.4 L/100km.

Fuel consumption ratings for the other Fusion engines are as follows; 9.4/6.4 L/100 km (city/highway) for the 2.5-litre; 11.1/7.3 (city/highway) for the 3.0-litre V6 models; and 12.7/8.3 (city/highway) for the 3.5-litre with all-wheel drive. A new optional safety feature on the 2010 Fusion (well worth having) was a Blind Spot system that comes with Cross Traffic Alert, which was a unique to Ford system. Radar sensors in the rear side quarter panels can detect a moving object within a 20 metre (65-ft) range on either side. Great to have when vision is restricted (as it often is) when backing out of a parking stall. This generation is also a quieter Fusion. Changes to reduce cabin noise levels include an acoustic windshield, thicker front-door glass, new hood insulators, additional sound deadening in the trunk and a new headliner in the cabin that’s made with an absorption material. An air filter that removes respiratory irritants and toxins from entering the cabin was also a new standard feature of Fusion. A new standard innovation was a fuel filler system called EasyFuel. Not only does it eliminate the need to remove a gas cap when filling up, it

A problem with the manual recliner mechanisms on the front seats may cause additional movement of the seat back. Dealers will replace the seat recliner mechanisms. 2010 A park pawl in the automatic transmission may not fully engage when shifted into “Park” and this could allow the vehicle to roll on an incline, if the park brake is not activated. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the park rod guide retention pin. 2010/2011- The lug nuts on vehicles equipped with 17 inch steel wheels may loosen and this could result in wheel separation.

reduces evaporative emissions. You simply push the fuel-pump nozzle into a gas tank receptacle and it automatically seals shut when removed. Six standard airbags helped the Fusion attain a top five-star crashtest rating. If an air bag is deployed, Fusion also has a unique emergency alert system that flashes the hazard warning lights and sounds the horn, to attract attention. An electronic stability-control system with a brake-activated traction control system was a new standard safety feature. The MyKey security system was made a standard feature on the 2011 Fusion, a spotter mirror, to help eliminate blind spots, was incorporated in the door mirrors and the SE edition got standard automatic headlights. No significant changes were made for 2012. Good reliability, owner satisfaction and low cost of repair ratings helped the 2012 Ford Fusion get a “Recommend” rating from Consumer Reports. Ford Fusion buyers also benefit from having a good supply of them on the market and used prices tend to be reasonable. A potentially great value pre-owned purchase. Drivingwheel@shaw.ca

ragons’ Den survivor Sam Koffski is stoked about looming hot sales from his unique workbench backed by dragon Arlene Dickinson. “I’ve been working on this thing for 30 years. To see it finally on sale is phenomenal,” the Duncan inventor said of today’s 5 p.m. Home Depot Duncan launch of his 3-D MultiHorse. Koffski was still emotionally high after being flown to Vancouver three weeks ago to meet Home Depot’s merchandising vice-president Jeff Kinnaird — during a surprise visit by $75,000-investor Dickinson — as MultiHorses hit the Canadian shelves. “Arlene said ‘We’ll pursue world marketing.’ I can hardly believe it.” Chinese-made through Peak Products, the MultiHorses, said Koffski, will span 1,800 American Home Depots, and 96 Mexican branches. Koffski, 83, was reluctantly thrilled about his return of MultiHorse bucks; his take will tally 5% of wholesale sales. “I hate to even think about it,” he said when asked if his cut could reach millions of dollars. Koffski asked Dickinson if

Sam Koffski debuts his Dragon’s Den-approved product in the Duncan Home Depot Friday. she could visit the Home Depot at some point to help promote his adjustable, use-anywhere sawhorse/workbench bracket. “She said she doesn’t control her own destiny (schedule).” But Koffski’s destiny took a turn for the best after he and son, Sid, appeared on CBCTV’s popular Dragons’ Den in March 2012 to pitch the adaptable MultiHorse. Koffski struck a deal with Venture-capitalist Dickinson, in exchange for all rights to the then-named Workhorse II — plus the 5% royalty.

Dickinson gave glowing comments to Metro Calgary in February about Koffski, and similar folks making the best of bad economic times. “You think about Dragons’ Den and the numbers of entrepreneurs in the country that are coming forward — I think we are being very entrepreneurial,” she said, noting the trick for innovators is moving from concept to commercialization. She cited Koffski’s 3-D MultiHorse — an innovation Koffski developed in his Duncan garage.

Dickinson explained how Koffski wrestled to find financing, patents, manufacturing and distribution. Then he entered the Dragons’ Den. “It’s about to go into stores, hopefully, across the world,” Dickinson said earlier this year. “Sometimes what great ideas need is just somebody to open the doors, and also to put the weight behind the idea to make it successful.” Koffski signaled his good fortune is still sinking in. “It’s hard for me to comprehend.”
