Duncan strip claims another
Warren Rogers obituary: Popular Duncan publican killed after being hit by a car Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
M
r. Fix-it. Father. Computer geek. Roughriders fan. Baseball pitcher. Curler. Barkeep. Friend. These and many other titles were used by family to describe Warren Rogers, who died Sunday in Victoria hospital. His death followed being struck by a car Saturday night along Duncan’s highway strip. He was 49. “Warren was probably the smartest person I ever met,” said former partner Amy deWit, with whom Rogers owned Duncan’s Courts Sports Lounge for the past eight years. “He ran the computers and arranged everything.” “He could do anything on computers,” echoed daughter Morgan, one of Rogers’ four kids —the other children being Jordan, 2, Chase, 5, and Kayne, 15. The Regina native’s sudden death shocked his many friends and patrons — who he hosted for events like the Courts’ popular Saturday afternoon music jam, and UFC TV fight nights. “I’ve had at least 1,000 messages,” said deWit, shaken by Rogers’ death. “Wrong place, wrong time.” She and Morgan, 19, explained Rogers died after stumbling off the sidewalk near Duncan’s Warren Rogers: Dog House restaurant. four children “He walked into the car,” deWit said of the vehicle driven by a female. “She was with him the entire time,” Morgan added of the driver’s care for her critically injured father. He was whisked to Cowichan District Hospital, then airlifted to Victoria General Hospital. more on A7
Second World War veteran robbed of his medals Replacement likely: Thieves raid Arbutus Ridge man of four honours earned serving in Europe and Asia Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
A
ceremony at Government House in Victoria Dec. 10 may have to wait until a valley Second World War veteran who had his medals stolen either gets them back or a replacement set arrives from England. Gerald Farrow, who turns 93 on Dec. 3 and lives at Arbutus Ridge, had four war medals stolen from a vehicle while it was parked at the Valleyview Centre last Tuesday afternoon. Farrow is among the people being honoured by Lt. Gov. of B.C. Judith Guichon a week after his birthday. Farrow is obviously distressed at the loss of
his medals: the 1939-45 Battle of Britain Star, the Burma Star, the Defence Medal and the 1939-45 War Medal. Each of the medals is in a black clamshell case and has the service number 7349476 engraved on the back. Farrow isn’t holding out much hope of the medals being returned. “It didn’t enter my mind that someone would help themselves to it,’’ he said. Farrow said the culprit might not have known exactly what they were taking. “The trouble is they put them in nice little boxes,’’ he said. “You’d think it was jewelry. You wouldn’t know.’’ Farrow is astonished how people from the Shawnigan Lake RCMP to the British government have been jumping through hoops to do
whatever they can. “To be honest with you, I’ve been amazed at the support I’ve had,’’ he said. “Everybody has put themselves out.’’ Farrow’s brother-in-law did some groundwork after the incident by contacting the Governor General in Ottawa, and officials in Victoria were also notified. “We explained the circumstances,’’ said Farrow. “We phoned England. They said they’d get a new set. “England has said they can’t guarantee they’ll get here by the 10th. It may still be the 10th if they come. “They don’t destroy these medals. They make them.’’ more on A7 bchonda.com

Noble’s jersey retired in tribute to late valley hockey player
Number 11 won’t be forgotten by his community. The late Tyler Noble’s Kerry Park Islanders’ MidgetAA hockey sweater is being hoisted by friends and family tonight at Kerry Park Arena at 10:30 p.m. Friend Teresa Mitchell said the rink kudo, and dropin game, marks the second anniversary of Noble’s death.
Noble was on the 2007-2008 team that won Kerry Park’s first and only B.C. championship. His jersey will be displayed permanently at a spot pending in the arena. “Tyler loved the Cowichan valley,” dad Ken said. “He told me he wanted to buy a house in the valley, and have two kids.
Cowichan News Leader Pictorial A3 “He loved his friends. The support for us has been unbelievable.” Shawnigan Lake resident Noble was punched, and later died, after an argument involving Brandon Huth, and others, on a Victoria sidewalk on Nov. 26, 2011. Huth was convicted of manslaughter last week. His sentencing is set for Jan. 24 in Victoria.

avid Simms is getting some Christmas warmth early, thanks to Cowichan Samaritans. This time, valley generosity is coming from Mark’s Work Wearhouse managers donating a new coat to Simms, after his coat was recently stolen from the Cowichan Aquatic Centre. His mom, Elizabeth Caldwell, was
delighted by the pre-Christmas gift from Marks’ Cowichan Commons’ store. “Mark’s Work Wearhouse has stepped up and replaced David’s jacket,” she told the News Leader Pictorial Monday after Friday’s cowichannewsleader.com story about the coat caper. “A wonderful woman, Jennifer, contacted Mark’s, and told them the story, and the rest is history.’’ Special Olympian Simms will be representing the province in July in the Nationals at UBC.

jacket — worth about $260, and with his name written inside — was swiped from the Cowichan Aquatic Centre’s locker room Nov. 16, between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. while David was training. It makes Simms visible while walking home after training for the B.C. Provincial Swim Team. The jacket also lets his mom, Caldwell, know her son is safe. “This theft was a real slap in the face to David,” Caldwell told the NLP prior to Mark’s gesture. “He works during
the day then goes to the centre for workouts. “He leaves the facility well after dark during the week, and then has a bit of a walk to get to his place. “The jacket provided him warmth, and most of all, safety and, for me, peace of mind — I can’t imagine why someone would do such a thing.” But the events since the story broke have restored her faith in people. “We have also had other calls to help David. It is an incredible community we live in.”
owichan Tribes members will get a chance to meet the eight hopefuls running for chief in the Tribes election at a forum being held this Thursday. Members of the community can submit written questions in the forum’s first round at the event which starts at 6 p.m. and wraps up at 8 p.m. at the Si’em Dining Hall on River Road. Tribes members will head to the polls Dec. 5 between 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Si’em Lelum Gymnasium. “About 2,200 are eligible for voting of the nearly 5,000 Tribes members who reside on an off reserve,” states a Tribes press release. “Successful candidates will have the opportunity to lead seven traditional villages and nine reservations along with the growing number of off-reserve First Nations people.” The eight candidates for chief include Harvey Richard Alphonse, (Ron) Benedict George, (Howie) William George, Sharon Ann Lewis, (Risa) Lorissa Peters, (Chip) William C. Sr. Seymour, (Tony) Patrick Anthony Stock, (Dick) Richard R. Williams. More than 60 candidates are also running for the 12 councillor positions.

Farrow served in France and in Burma
Courts sings in salute
from A1
from A1
Farrow did a yeoman’s service during the Second World War years, spending time in France and also Burma where he was part of a mobile surgical unit. “I was originally going to be working for the local big hospital as a casualty officer,’’ he said. But Farrow was told if he was in the army, he was going to serve. “I went there to do a job,’’ he said. “Medals didn’t interest me then. We did our job and we were very successful.’’ For now, the medal ceremony date is pending. “As soon as I get the medals we’ll make a new date,’’’ said Farrow. “I’m not particularly worried now that they’re working on a new set.’’ Shawnigan Lake RCMP is asking anyone who might have information on the theft of the medals to call 250-743-5514. Warren Rogers was an avid slo-pitch player and tournament organizer.
Rogers was on life support when his heart stopped Sunday. “Warren made the decision himself,” deWit said of Rogers succumbing to his injuries. Later Sunday, his Courts friends toasted him by singing I Love This Bar. DeWit remembered karaokecrooner Rogers singing Sinatra’s My Way in the Courts. “People came into the bar just to talk to Warren. “He loved football, and being a Saskatchewan fan,” deWit noted. Ironically, Rogers died Sunday as his Saskatchewan team mauled Hamilton’s Tiger Cats, winning the Grey Cup 45-23. Morgan said her dad was

“always doing stuff for his friends.” She also remembered a rollicking road trip she took with her dad, crossing the Prairies in his RV. “He had the best of the best toys.” Sadly, some of those toys — a laptop, iPod, jewelry — were stolen from Rogers’ home as he lay injured in hospital. But the journeyman painter usually brushed off life’s bummers. “He went through them with humour; but sometimes that wasn’t enough,” deWit said. A celebration-of-life service is planned for Friday, Dec. 6 at noon at H.W. Wallace Cremation and Burial Centre, 5285 Polkey Road.

More light needs to shine on our violence issues Go purple: Cowichan’s rate of gender-based violence still double the provincial average
T
his week, seeing a purple haze is a good thing. We’re hoping instead of traditional red and green Christmas lights, you’ll be seeing plenty of purple lights strung in folk’s windows, at local businesses and on trees downtown. They’re meant to be a gentle reminder of gender-based violence issues and the effects they have upon children and families in the Cowichan Valley. Cowichan’s rate of violence against women is about double B.C.’s average. And that’s one of the reasons a Action needed number of events are being organized locally. on violence Last week we heard Cowichan’s against Heidi Mendenhall’s personal violence experience and now we’ve also learned women many locals are also stepping up to shed a light on the startling statistic. “Community response has been enthusiastic,” Cowichan Women Against Violence Society victim services worker Kendra Thomas said. She commended folks for a “fantastic reflection of how community members value safe, healthy families in the Cowichan Valley.” The “16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence” is a global campaign beginning on International Day Against Violence Against Women Day Nov. 25. It wraps up on International Human Rights Day, Dec. 10, and includes a Dec. 6 noon vigil at the Vancouver Island University Cowichan campus. That latter event recognizes National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. We’re tickled to hear Cowichanians are getting on board. And we can only hope that will make the difference and be the light at the end of the tunnel toward a solution for lowering Cowichan’s violence cases.
We say:
The good and the bad of this week in Cowichan This we don’t
This we like
In the wake of something bad, it’s always good to see some good arise. In this case, the bad was the likely theft of David Simms high-visibility winter jacket. But the good was the way Mark’s Work Wearhouse stepped up and quickly replaced the valued coat of the local Special Olympian. What is equally good is the fact that if Mark’s hadn’t done what it did, many others were willing to do the same.
David Simms and his high-visibility coat.
Adding a whole new layer to ‘eating your fill’ Aaron Bichard
News Leader Pictorial
I
f I asked you how many times a week you slapped someone less fortunate than yourself in the face, or told a kid you didn’t care about his future, hopefully you’d answer “never.” Unfortunately, what you do is probably much, much worse. In fact, the majority of us who live in the western world display these types of destructive attitudes on a daily basis without even realizing it. Our instrument of social malfunction is food. We show our addiction to self-indulgence when we go to the grocery store and buy more than we need. We do it when we let food go bad on our counters and in our fridges. And we do it when we overeat. According to the United Nation’s Food and Agricultural Organizations’ report, Food Wastage Footprint: Impacts on Natural Resources, one-third of the food produced world-wide
annually, about 1.3 billion tonnes, is wasted. It’s wasted in the production stages through poor farming, storage practices and pests. It’s wasted during transportation and preparation. It’s even wasted when we consume more than we need. And that waste, that squander, that malignant misuse has massive negative global implications on the environment, the economy and egalitarianism. I don’t know how many times I was told as a kid to make sure my eyes weren’t bigger than my stomach, to only take what I needed. I was also told to finish food on my plate because there were starving people in the world. Both parental pearls of wisdom had the intent to teach me that wasting food was bad, but the direct consequences were never readily seen. Would a starving kid halfway around the world really want to eat the crust of my toast? Really? I didn’t get the connection. With the focus on food becoming more and more prevalent in all social settings and conversation, it’s becoming frighteningly obvious food is connected to, well, everything.
Yes, it is inevitable that construction projects get delayed for myriad unforeseen circumstances. And the community seems to be surviving just fine without its Chemainus Road link between Chemainus and Crofton. But the fact the four-month project is slated to now wrap up in six months isn’t one of the high points of 2013 in Cowichan.
COWICHAN LEADERS
In a recent presentation, Dr. Richard Swannell, director of design and waste prevention at the U.K.’s Waste and Resources Action Proramme (WRAP), tried to put the food waste problem into perspective and draw those connections. He said projections suggest nine billion people will live on the planet by 2050. That means the total number of people who were alive on the planet in 1950 will be added to the current population. The increase in population means by 2030 demand for water will increase by 30% and energy and food demand will increase by 50%. On a planet with finite resources, this demand is going to be a real problem to meet. The obvious place to start to feed all these mouths is by capturing the food currently produced and eliminating waste. In developed countries, we waste on average about 100 kilograms of food a year per person. Prof. Tim Benton, U.K. Champion for Global Food Security, says if the rest of the world’s population were to demand the
amount of food an average North American demands, we would need four Earths to produce all that grub. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think we have three more Earths at the ready. If we do, they aren’t showing up yet on my Google Maps. This is the time of year when images of starving children start flooding the airwaves, and donations are sought for food banks and humanitarian organizations. This is the time of year to start thinking about how our food choices impact others. With every bit of food that doesn’t get eaten, the whole world suffers. And that truly is a waste.

Things are moving slowly in Ottawa
Showroom gone, Garage still here
Dear editor It seems there is a wee bit of confusion associated with the closing of The Duncan Garage Showroom. If space allows, could you please mention in one of your columns or editorials that the Duncan Garage is not closing. In fact, Longevity John Falkner’s Showroom business, is not closing either. It’s just moving from its current location. Everything else about the Duncan Garage is business as usual. The Duncan Garage Café and Bakery, The Community Farm Store, Ten Old Books, Time to Heal and EK Hair are all still there! It remains a thriving hub — it just won’t have the shows anymore. From our understanding, Longevity John will find another place to operate and the valley will still be able to look forward to his high caliber shows. He will always have our support and appreciation for all that he has done for Duncan — especially the 39 Days of July! Nicolette Genier

fter years of complaints about late notice of grants, the federal government is finally changing the timelines for Canada Summer Jobs applications.

Visitor bulge hits record numbers
Already there: Lake Cowichan community leaders hope to use area assets to capitalize on tourism while maintaining town’s character
Ross Armour
News Leader Pictorial
T
his year has seen a record number of visitors come to the Cowichan Lake area. Cowichan Lake District Chamber of Commerce confirmed the lakearea has attracted over 28,000 visitors since Jan. 1. “That’s a 13.9% increase from last year,” said Katherine Worsley from the Chamber of Commerce. “We’ve increased our promotion of the area and go out and look for business.” Most of the visitors are B.C. residents, with the second most coming from Alberta, and the third from as far as Europe. Worsley agrees the fact that most of the Lake’s visitors these days come from within the province improves the chances of people moving to the area. “We want to encourage growth. I’ve had 2,356 inquiries via email this year also,” said
Worsley who works daily at the visitor centre. “The inquiries are either about business or from people looking to move here. The chamber’s vice-president Ron McKenzie outlined the vision going forward. “We don’t want to be like the Okanagan Valley where lake access is minimal at best. We want to maintain that access,” said McKenzie, who also admitted his desire for Lake Cowichan to not turn into a tourism town amidst the challenge of attracting more people. He wants visitors to end up buying homes here as well. “We want to be included in tourism but we don’t want to be overblown by tourism. There’s a fine balance and that’s the hard part.” But seemingly the tourism label will be present for evermore. “We have a characteristic the rest of the Cowichan Valley Regional District doesn’t have. We have the biggest jewel in the district and that’s our lake,” said McKenzie. Worsley wants to keep tourism attraction,
but also preserve the obvious natural resource in town. She says “it’s a battle.” McKenzie says Cowichan Lake has a lifestyle like no other.

Showroom boss quickly finds new home at the Silver Bridge Inn
ON STAGE
Cowichan’s entertainment ringmaster Longevity John Falkner is pitching his metaphoric tent at Duncan’s Travelodge Silver Bridge Inn. Falkner’s Duncan Showroom Productions, and inn managers Donna Petrie and Chris Jones are finalizing details about how he’ll bring music, comedy, drama, spoken-word, films and other cultural occurrences to the highway inn.
Those plans follow Falkner’s decade-long run, of some 2,600 shows in downtown’s Duncan Garage building. “We’ll have fun, and continue taking this town on a positive journey. We have mutual desires.

Cow High tries Little Women on for size Marching with the Marches: Student cast primed to bring Alcott classic to life on stage
Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
F
amily flashbacks await Cowichan females with sisters during Cowichan High’s version of Little Women. Everyone else can simply enjoy the trials, tribulations and tiffs between four strong-willed March sisters this week in the school’s Quamichan Campus Theatre. Drama teacher Rosalynd Roome confessed she’d never read Louisa May Alcott’s beloved story, but grew to love it during rehearsals. “I picked Little Women (to stage) because I knew I had students who wanted a story of this nature: classic and simple, and they’re handling it,” she said of 10 actors prepping their Nov. 27 opener. “The kids have made me love the script since they started to bring it to life.” Grade 12 actress Brooklyn Minnie turns mother hen as eldest sister, Meg. “I’m the mother when their mother (Courtney Wright’s Marmee) is working, and father’s at war,” she said of 1860s, Civil War-torn Massachusetts. “I decided to challenge my maternal instincts, because I have to act like a mother to the girls.” The coming-of“I watched 1,800 age plot pivots on the sisters “talking episodes of Inabout their lives, and exchanging stories, side The Actors’ like sisters do.” Studio.” Directions shift when Father March (Logan Swain) is wounded. “They also speak in a different language from other plays, so that’s helped my acting,” Minnie said. “There’s also not much humour here, and I’m used to comic plays. I figured out how I want to play the character.” The moral, Minnie said, “is to be true to
Moroz
yourself, follow your heart, and do what makes you happy.” Holly Moroz is happily portraying Jo March. “I like everything about this play; the relationships between the four sisters — I have three sisters and, no matter what time you’re from, the eldest is always trying to mother, the middle is always ignored, and the youngest is always a brat.” Despite real-life experience, the Grade 12 student is learning during dramatic duty. “I had to work hard to do it justice — having the strong emotional presence of the script, or it doesn’t work,” Moroz said. So she armed herself with advice from big stage guns. “I watched 1,800 episodes of Inside The Actors’ Studio, then picked what I liked to help me. Anthony Hopkins said to ‘Read the script 100 times so it’s like your own words’, so he can just concentrate on how he feels.” Jo now feels like an early, outspoken feminist to Moroz. “I’m trying to be true to her, not hold anything back. You just have to go out and do it.” Zach Ollett is doing the role of awkward neighbour, Laurie. “I play him as a boy becoming a man, but he’s not really ready; he doesn’t want to grow up, so he’s selfish and by himself.” But Laurie hangs out with the sisters, becoming Jo’s best friend. Little Women is also Oullett’s opportunity to stretch his dramatic muscles. “I think of something sad that happened in my life; that puts me in the mood,” he said, noting lines came easily, while he tweaked his timing. Alcott’s message is about doing what you want, not what others tell you, he explained. “I want the audience to come away feeling happy, and blessed for the family.”

Holmes’ last show a night of Bliss
Review: Late theatre stalwart would have been proud of friends’ Hay Fever
N
Peter W. Rusland
Bliss family listens to David (Alex Gallacher) read from his new novel as their guests slip out during Vagabond Theatre troupe’s Hay Fever. Cora (Debbie Champken). That window opened momentarily when the Bliss’ guests arrive for a sanity-questioning evening. Jaunty bachelor Sandy Tyrell (Nathan Schock) tries for a tryst with Judith; socialite Myra Arundel (Jesse Mann) expects a fling with Simon; dapper Richard Greatham (Michael Terides) aims for amour with Sorel; naive Jackie Coryton (Lauren Cooper) hopes for enlightenment from David. But the Blisses prove so annoyingly offbeat the night becomes a muddled maze of musical affairs. And the family was so selfabsorbed they neither notice, nor care, when their once-pompous now-puzzled guests quietly bolt for the door.

News Leader Pictorial
oel Coward’s canny antidote to snobbery and idle wealth was fantastically foisted on Cowichanians during the opening weekend of Hay Fever. Vagabond Theatre Company has dramatically saluted Cowichan’s late, great director-actor David Holmes — and his hero Coward — at Duncan’s Mercury Theatre. Director Jim Cleough kindly assumed Hay Fever’s helm after Holmes’ recent death. The troupe’s teamwork tossed a touchdown as the nine-member cast rubbed society’s nose in the folly of fakery. Hay Fever’s well-heeled, bohemian Bliss clan are folks insouciantly ignorant of everyday struggles, even after invited guests enter their trivial, insulated world. Apparently, Coward had an ample dunking in this brand of nauseating antics in 1920’s Britain. His revenge was cleverly embodied in faded stage actress Judith Bliss (Jennifer Lally), glib authorhusband David (Alex Gallacher), and their spoiled adult-kids Sorel (Corinna Cornforth) and Simon (Aren Beagley). Perhaps their only link to reality was via housekeeper

J.S. Bach: Christmas Oratorio
Holmes, Cleough, stage manager Leslie Sanchez, and their quick crew, clearly knew why during this exceptional trip toward selfexamination, dotted with comedy. Gallacher was perfect as sputtering David reading from his new novel. Lally’s conceited stage countess deftly deflated the self-important. And bellicose Bliss brats Cornforth and Beagley showed why rods shouldn’t always be spared by parents. Holmes would have been happy with the comical comeuppance he began as his swan song. Catch your dose of Hay Fever Nov. 28 to 30 at 7:30 p.m., and Dec. 1 at 2 p.m. Social-satire play rating: 8.5 prigs out of 10.

DEATHS
DEATHS WUNDERLICK, Wilfred Joseph
Wilfred Joseph Wunderlick was born in Cudworth Saskatchewan July 13, 1926 died November 15, 2013. One of eleven children, he learned early to work hard on the family homestead. Migrating to Giscome in 1941 they opened the Wunderlick Dairy farm and worked in the nearby sawmill. The Dairy flourished and allowed the family to move on to a new and larger home on Dawes Hill in New Westminster. Although he was too young, he signed up in the Army and volunteered for the War in the Pacific. He became an Instructor in Physical Training, Un-armed Combat. Leaving with the rank of Sergeant, he continued his involvement by training young soldiers, developing a civil defense organization and other activities for many years. Wilf wanted to make the world a safer place. His career always involved organizing, caring for and protecting others. He became a Registered Psychiatric Nurse (#736), Trainer and Safety Director on the northern DEW line project, Personnel and Safety Officer in Vancouver Bay (a BCFP Logging Camp), and the Safety and Protection Supervisor for the BCFP Crofton Mill. He retired and then continued on as a safety consultant to many large companies. During his tenure, Crofton Mill was named the safest in Canada and he chaired the Pacific Forest Products Safety Conference held in Victoria. Wilf is well remembered for his explosive demonstration teaching new workers to be mindful of the potential dangers when working in a mill. The Wunderlich Safety Program he designed was especially focused in that direction. He was particularly proud of the Life Membership in the CPU union presented to him on his retirement. It was given in ‘recognition of an outstanding contribution to the development of the Canadian Paperworker’s Union and to the welfare of fellow workers�. Wilf felt it was important to contribute to his community. He served on the executive of local organizations wherever he lived....Vancouver Bay Community Club, Crofton Community Center Society, the Rate Payers Association, the Hospital Board and the Royal Canadian Legion. Politics were no stranger to him and he remained an active ‘letter to the editor’ writer until about 4 years ago. He donated part of his earnings to scholarships for local students and supported families in need at Christmas in those communities where he worked. Wilf was predeceased by Edith, his wife of over 60 years, his brother Reynold and his sisters Ursula, Marcella, Bridget and Lauretta. He is survived by brothers Arthur, Norman, and sisters Marie and Kathy. He leaves behind his three children Barbara Lines (Peter), Randy Wunderlich (Jeanne), and Rick Wunderlich (Virginia) and ten grandchildren, Catherine (Mark), Jessica (Gord), Thomas (Robin), Adam (Corinne), Warren (Rebecca), Hayley (Bill), Sarah (Andrew), Jesse (Jenna), Mary (Andrew) and Paul, and fifteen great- grandchildren. A celebration of Wilf’s life will be held on December 12, 2013 at 2 pm in the Crofton Community Hall. Donations to the Kidney Foundation of BC would be greatly appreciated.

Batting 1,000, one pet at a time
Animal rescue society: Meet Smudge the cat, the thousandth pet helped in seven years Diana Hutton
News Leader Pictorial
T
hey are our best friends and willingly devote their lives to us. They protect and entertain us, cheer us when we are blue and stand by us when the rest of the world lets us down. They ask little more in return than a safe home, clean water, decent food, basic care and kindness, and often we let them down terribly. They are our pets; the millions of dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, etc. that we call friends and thankfully, they too have friends. The Lake Cowichan Animal Rescue Society was formed seven years ago in November 2006 and on this lucky anniversary the group has reached the milestone of assisting its 1,000th animal. Meet Smudge, a curious and rambunctious, overgrown male kitten, who thanks to the society was scheduled to be neutered so in future he will not be a contributor to the population explosion of kittens in the valley. His owner, Lorri Pringle, is thrilled and extremely grateful. “This is absolutely incredible,” said Pringle. “I’m on government subsidy with health issues and I would be saving my pennies for a very long time to be able to afford this and there aren’t a lot of pennies left to save when you’re on subsidy.” As part of the society’s mandate to encourage the spaying or neutering of companion animals, Smudge will be picked up by a society volunteer, transported to the vet in
Duncan where he will be immunized and neutered then returned home to Pringle: all this for a $35 donation to the society. Society volunteer, Mick Bedard acts as the pet taxi driver in this case and explained the logistics. “Low-income people can apply to us for the subsidy and if accepted, the society covers the whole bill and they pay just a $35 donation,” said Bedard. “We try to do about 10 a year. We’d like to offer more but we have to save some money for kitten season.” Kitten season starts in March or April and runs through to about the end of October. About 95% of the animals that the society deals with are cats. “Our spay/neuter program is key and already we’re seeing a difference,” said Society president, Margaret Livingstone. “It’s getting better. Since offering the subsidies as well as trapping and sterilizing feral cats we’re seeing way fewer kittens.” It is estimated the average un-spayed female cat (with her un-spayed female offspring) can produce more than 3,200 kittens in 12 years. The feral cat program consists of the cats being trapped, immunized, sterilized and marked, then released on their home turf. Lake Cowichan Animal Rescue is a “no kill” society. “An animal would be euthanized only if it could not be made comfortable during its last days,” said Livingstone. The society is strictly volunteer-run and non-profit. Unlike many charities, 100% of all donated monies go directly to expenses that directly impact the animals, including food, veterinary attention and keeping the

The society also gladly accepts donations of pet food, kitty litter, pet carriers, leashes, grooming supplies, etc. Monetary and donations in kind are all tax deductible. It is always in need of more volunteers and people willing to foster unwanted animals until permanent homes can be found. The cost of kindness is high and in 2012, the society ran up almost $12,000 in vet bills despite the Duncan Animal Hospital and Prevost Veterinary Clinic providing services at a discount rate. To meet its financial obligations the society fundraises on an ongoing basis. It operates a garage sale twice a month in the old Elk’s Hall on Southshore Road, does catalogue sales through La Montagme and often has
an information table set up outside Lake Cowichan Country Grocer. “We’ll be celebrating our anniversary with an open house on Saturday, Nov. 30 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Bell Tower School (behind the Kaatza Museum),” said Livingstone. “We welcome people to drop in and check out what we do. We’ll have our scrapbooks out and refreshments.’’ The society offers help to animals and their owners in any way it can. It can provide help and information on care, feeding, behaviour issues, training, feral cats etc., all at no charge. For more information on the society and the work they do, check their website at lakecowichananimalrescue.com or call 250749-4040.

Peewees a contender
Keeping pace: Narrow losses to powerhouse teams a sign the team can compete with the best Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
T
he Cowichan Valley Tier 1 Peewee Capitals continue to prove they belong in the same category as the best teams in B.C. The Caps had narrow defeats in the Gil Martin Memorial peewee hockey tournament Remembrance Day weekend in Langley against highly-regarded competition. The Caps got off to a 2-0 lead in their first game against the eventual runnerup Cloverdale Colts but ended up losing a tight 3-2 decision. Sasha Rochelle was the game MVP, holding the Cloverdale snipers to three goals, while Ty Brant was a stalwart on defence and received the digger award. The second game brought a dominating performance from the Caps in a 5-1 victory over Richmond Seafair. Owen Easton led the team with two goals and received the digger award while Corson Hopwo picked up a goal and an assist and earned MVP honours for his
dynamic performance at both ends of the ice. Hopwo then racked up a goal and four assists, as the Caps routed Chilliwack 9-2. JoJo Tanaka-Campbell scored twice with one assist and Kabore Dunn added a goal and two assists. Daniel Larson notched his first goal of the season and was selected game MVP, with Marcus Steen picking up two goals for the digger award. The Caps came up a bit flat in the quarterfinals, but still held their own with a 5-3 loss with an empty-net goal to Burnaby Winter Club. Game MVP Cody Sheppard notched two goals in vain. Campbell received the digger award. The tournament concluded with the sixth meeting of the season with island rival Nanaimo. Cowichan won the previous five, but Nanaimo prevailed in this one 4-3 in the shootout. Cowichan outshot Nanaimo 57-43. Luc Wilson had two goals and was the Caps’ MVP while Tynan Ewart played his usual dependable defensive game to take the top digger award.
Islanders much improved
Terrific trio: Uomoleale, Branzsen and Lapierre-Slicer on fire Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
T
he Kerry Park Islanders are now only two games below .500 and gaining ground on their Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League South Division opponents. The Islanders won both their games last week and are now just three points out of second place in the division. No one is going to catch Victoria for first, but the Islanders at least have as good a chance as the others now of finishing second. The Islanders had a wild one last Thursday night at Victoria’s Bear Mountain Arena and prevailed 8-7 in the second overtime period over the Westshore Wolves. Armand Uomoleale scored the winner at 3:26 of the second overtime.
It was his fourth point of the game, matching the contribution of teammate Francis Lapierre-Slicer, who scored a hat trick. Tylor Branzsen racked up three points on a goal and two assists. Alex Milligan and Cody Short had the other Islander markers. The Islanders scored a pair of goals just 48 seconds apart in the third period Saturday at Kerry Park Arena to beat the Peninsula Panthers 5-3. Once again, Uomoleale, LapierreSlicer and Branzsen did most of the damage, combining for eight points. Uomoleale had a pair of goals while Lapierre-Slicer and Branzsen added one apiece. Ryan Paisley rounded out the scoring. The Islanders’ improvement will be tested against the Cougars in Victoria Thursday. They’re at home to Oceanside Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Tough times: Losing streak reaches eight despite some decent moments of play Don Bodger

G
ripping the stick a little tighter is a typical symptom of a team mired in an eight-game losing
streak. The Cowichan Valley Capitals will try to snap out of it when they host the Nanaimo Clippers Wednesday and the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Friday at 7 p.m. at Cowichan Arena. The Caps dropped another pair of games to division rivals last
week, 3-2 to the Victoria Grizzlies at home Friday and 3-0 to the Bulldogs in Port Alberni Saturday. “We play a decent game and don’t get the results,’’ said Caps’ coach Bob Beatty. “It’s frustrating. “We’ve been in three or four games in this losing streak. I thought a bounce or two and we would have got a win, but it hasn’t happened.’’ Beatty felt his team was certainly deserving of a better fate against Victoria. “I thought our pace was pretty good,’’ he said. “We seem to be hungry for the puck.

His stature is definitely in keeping with a lineman. But Darian Slater’s game is more rounded than that and catching opposing football teams off-guard. You see, Slater, 16, a Grade 12 student at Dwight International School, is an accomplished field goal kicker. “He can kick consistently 35-yard field goals, no problem,’’ said Cowichan Midget Bulldogs’ coach Doug (Opie) Williams. “I’ve seen him kick a 45. And he just gives us that good field position to start with. When teams can honestly respect that field goal, then they’re going to take you a little more seriously.’’ That aspect of Slater’s game started in junior bantam. “Our kicker didn’t show up for our game and I said, ‘well, let me kick it,’’’ he said. “The coaches said, ‘Wiggy, you’re a D lineman.’ Well, I kicked the ball well over the trees (at McAdam Park) and they just stood back and couldn’t stop laughing their butts off.’’ Wiggy’s had that nickname since the day he was born. “I guess I was just such a big baby that they called me Wiggy Piggy,’’ said Slater. “It stuck. One time my mom just yelled out, ‘Go Wiggy,’ and everyone was like, ‘who the hell are you talking about?’’’

some mistakes, but I don’t think we were outplayed.’’ Taki Pantziris and Jarrett Brown scored the Caps’ goals. It was a bit of a different story in Port Alberni, as the Caps were outshot 50-31 and shut out by the team’s former goalie Connor LaCouvee. “We were flat,’’ said Beatty. “Our first 12 minutes we didn’t seem to have the jump we needed to, for sure.’’ Changes could be in the offing before the Dec. 1 cut-down date. “We’re certainly active,’’ said Beatty of trade talks.

Cut off at the pass: Running game stopped dead in its tracks during Sunday semifinal football playoff Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
T
he Nanaimo Redmen’s ability to shut down the Cowichan Bulldogs’ running attack made all the difference in a Vancouver Mainland Football League semifinal playoff game Sunday at McAdam Park. Other than a first-quarter scamper by Drayson Price from his own 11-yard line to the Nanaimo 21, running yards were hard to come by for the Bulldogs in a 14-9 defeat that spelled the end of their season. Cowichan was forced to scramble to find an alternative through the air that only produced a couple of decent completions to Eric Williams — one for a touchdown — along with a diving catch by Darren Aitchison and a pair of sideline snags by Kain Melchior. Nanaimo coach Sean Roden said his team installed a brand-new defence to work against Cowichan’s power run game. “The boys embraced it. They were all confident it would work and it did. They executed it beautifully. “Cowichan plays really, really good defence but we were able to have the majority of the possession of the ball and did quite well in field position.” “Nanaimo’s got a good team,’’ countered Cowichan head coach Doug (Opie) Williams. “They made some good adjustments on us. They were able to stop our run game.’’
Don Bodger
Hanging on for dear life, above, is Cowichan defender Cory Lewis to ensure Nanaimo Redmen’s Jonah Wassell doesn’t get away on him. Circus over-the-head catch is attempted, right, by the Bulldogs’ Kain Melchior against the tight defence of Nanaimo’s Tyler Gavin. Melchior made a big leap over a Nanaimo defender earlier in the game on a punt return. As much as Williams gave credit to Nanaimo, he also stated the obvious to his players after the game that this was not their best effort. “They played better than us,’’ he said. “We did not play our best game. When it comes to playoffs, you’ve got to play your best game and we didn’t do that.’’ Most of the Bulldogs’ players were quite emotional after the game, ranging from tears to outrage at the result. “We’re pretty devastated right now,’’ said Bulldogs’ defensive stalwart Adam Marchetti, who was pressed into some action on the offensive unit as well. “We gave
what we could, but got the short end of the stick. “It’s very frustrating.’’ “I know it’s tough, boys, but now is the time you let this game go to drive you to be even better next year,’’ Williams said. Unfortunately, the senior players who aren’t returning won’t have that chance — not at the midget level at least. Frustrating was the operative word for the Bulldogs, as everything that could go wrong did at crucial times. Darian Slater’s first field goal attempt went wide for a single point and he later had two more field goals and a convert kick blocked, as

Cowichan experienced some problems with its blocking coverage on the line. Eric Williams had a fumbled punt recovered by Nanaimo that eventually led to quarterback Austin Lyle going over for a touchdown. But the malfunctions were occurring at most junctions and Cowichan never really found its form that led to a 9-1 record during the regular season, including a 15-10 victory over Nanaimo. A huge crowd of supporters for both sides packed the sidelines and created a great atmosphere. At times it was rather quiet, however — a reflection of the game’s ten-
sion. After Cowichan’s opening point, Nanaimo’s Jonah Wassell got behind the Cowichan defence and hauled in a pass from Lyle for a 40-yard touchdown. Cowichan evened the score 7-7 at the half after Williams converted a third-down play by beating the defensive coverage and hauling in a perfect pass from quarterback Erik Kenner. It stayed that way until Lyle’s TD late in the third quarter. The Bulldogs got the ball down to the Nanaimo threeyard line with three minutes left in the game, but Wyatt MacWatt got stopped short of the end zone on third
down. The Redmen were tackled in the end zone on the next possession, giving up a safety touch. The Bulldogs’ offense had one final crack at it and moved the sticks a couple of times, but couldn’t get into good position for the potential winning points. “The boys, they didn’t give up,’’ said Williams. “They gave it right down to the bitter end.’’ North Surrey Bears upset the first-place Langley Stampeders and will face the Redmen in Sunday’s championship game at Langley’s McLeod Park stadium. — with a file from Greg Sakaki, Nanaimo News Bulletin

Kelsey seventh on the Island in conclusion to the volleyball season
Frances Kelsey Breakers finished seventh in the eight-team Island AAA senior girls’ volleyball championships at Timberline in Campbell River. “We placed fourth in our pool, although it was very close between ourselves and Reynolds,’’ said coach Mark Jackson. Reynolds beat Kelsey in three sets.
The Breakers wound up playing in the match for seventh and eighth places and claimed the higher spot by beating Esquimalt 25-14, 25-21. “We’re kind of like the little team that never died,’’ said Jackson. “We played big. We had big hits. We had a lot of elements to our game that were considered
advanced.’’ But it never quite came together for the girls to obtain better results. Lauren Barnes was the team MVP all season and earned an all-star award. Rochelle Reierson was strong on the serving line and Carlie Cameron’s passing and hitting was exceptional.

While Credo swept to glory, there was great satisfaction with the Chargers’ performance — led by Provincial First All-Star team selection Doug Groenendijk. “I think our team really came together and played as a team,’’ said Groenendijk. “We didn’t have as much talent as last year. We definitely had more heart.’’ Playing in front of the home crowd was a huge benefit for the Chargers. “They pumped us up, especially when we were down,’’ said Groenendijk. “It helped us get up a couple of times.’’ The Chargers’ fate weighed heavily on Groenendijk’s shoulders, but he handled it well and his teammates rose to the occasion. “It was a lot of pressure,’’ he said. “I wasn’t too nervous. It was just for fun.’’ There were some definite low moments in the tournament for the Chargers before they reached the highs. Groenendijk specified the team’s final game Thursday against Carver Christian as a prime example. “We played terrible the first set and were playing terrible the second set,’’ he said. “Halfway through the second set, we picked it up and ended up winning 25-19. The third set we went crazy and won 15-6.’’ Gronendijk had to sit out part of the semifinal with an ankle injury Saturday against Credo and DCS ended up losing 22-25, 12-25, 13-25. DCS started tournament play with a 23-25, 23-25 loss to Centennial and then defeated Abbotsford 27-

That led into the final two matches against Credo and Abbotsford. Credo’s Zachary Vanderploeg was the most outstanding player in the tournament. Joining Groenendijk as Provincial First Team allstars were: Nathan Struyk (Centennial), Landon Uy
(Cedars Christian), Austin Mao (Carver), Connor Pruin (Credo) and Eric Vaags (Abbotsford). Second Team all-stars were: Travis Hoogland (Vernon), Cole Nutma (Centennial), David Noort (Credo), Aaron Postma (Abbotsford), Samuel Roosma (Richmond) and Owen Delege (Houston). Alan Park and Nick Kapteyn of DCS were all-star honourable mentions.

t’s the girls’ turn for the second of two provincial volleyball tournaments on consecutive weeks at Duncan Christian School. The provincial A high school championship starts Thursday and, due to the enormous 16team draw, some preliminary games are also being played at Chemainus Secondary School. Duncan Christian Chargers will be in a pool with Kelowna Christian, Carver Christian and Chetwynd. Opening ceremonies are at 9 a.m. at Duncan Christian followed by the opening matches at 10:45. Going into the tournament as the No. 12 seed and second on the island wasn’t the plan, but Chargers’ coach Dave Vanderschaaf said the girls are ready to prove that spot wrong. “We are looking to maintain or improve on our seventh or better finish from last year’s team. We are looking to finish second or better in our pool to get a good head start for the playoffs. I know the girls are very excited to play in this tournament. “A lot of the girls had the opportunity to host some of the boys’ team at this past weekend’s provincials as well and so have immersed themselves in the provincial atmosphere already. Overall, I’m excited to see what we can do and who we might surprise.’’ The bronze medal match is at 5:30 p.m. Saturday followed by the gold medal game at 7.

Quiet insistence: Trudy Thorgeirson saluted for NDP service Ashley Degraaf
Look who just turned 100 years young

uncan’s Trudy Thorgeirson’s got a quiet assertiveness about her. That’s how Nanaimo-Cowichan New Democrat MLA Doug Routley describes the 84-year-old who was recently honoured with a life-time achievement award at the B.C. NDP convention Nov. 16. “She’s devoted, but there’s a quiet insistence about her,” Routley said of the Cowichan party’s long-time devotee and the constituency’s financial agent. “They don’t just direct their energy with their parties and their attack, they also become a sort of bedrock for their movements.” “I’m just really interested in this community,” Thorgeirson said of why she’s become so involved. “Here in Duncan I just find it a very interesting community with a lot of people with different backgrounds.” That explains why the busy-bee has had so much involvement with numerous Warm Land organizations, including Volunteer Cowichan, Cowichan Family Life, the former Seniors Resource and Support Society, and now, as a director, the Cowichan Co-operative Connections Association. “When you retire, you just have to find something else,” the former medical microbiologist/ researcher said. And Thorgeirson’s name may ring a bell to many folks as well as she’s fond of writing letters to the local newspapers. And among many local issues, her topics

have included taxes, school trustees, and seniors support. “People have to say what they think more often,” Thorgeirson said. “They can agree or disagree.” The Ottawa-native was also instrumental in creating the Cowichan Council for Canadians organization more than 20 years ago. And as part of the New Democratic party, she’s been focusing her attention on a grass roots policy committee, where
ideas are sought from “ordinary people.” “We’ve already had one big workshop on that,” she said. More than 800 delegates attended the B.C. NDP convention, which looked to be their biggest yet, at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Thorgeirson attended with her husband and son. “It was great, and there were a lot of speakers,” Thorgeirson said. “One of my favourites was Stephen Lewis. He always

Meals on Wheels delivering last meal
Alternatives available: Less funding, fewer clients mean seniors aid program parked Ross Armour
News Leader Pictorial
C
owichan Lake Community Services has announced it is closing Meals on Wheels program provided to local seniors. Executive director Carol Blatchford explained the main reason for the closure was due to lack of funding. “We (always) got our funding from the Ministry of Health and we lost the funding due to lack of clients,” said Blatchford, who said the funding was “dwindling” in recent times anyway. “They didn’t cut our funds, we just haven’t been able to get the numbers ,so we just can’t do it anymore.” Meals on Wheels provides hot meals to seniors or people with seri-
ous medical conditions or injuries, whilst staff who deliver the meals constantly check on the safety of the recipient. Blatchford said closures of a similar ilk are happening across British Columbia. “This is not just Lake Cowichan, this is happening all over the province and the majority reason is that programs just don’t have enough clients.” Seemingly though, Cowichan Lake Community Services has a short-term plan in place for the current small crop of meals clients. “We have a list of four other agencies that deliver meals so there is an alternative,” said Blatchford. “That could be the reason for the decline. You look at the grocery stores, people can easily buy salads or frozen meals these days. With some of the other agencies too, people
can choose what they want to eat, and we can’t do that so that could be another reason.” Cowichan Lake Community Services chairperson Scott Paro said in a press release he was “sorry” about the closure. He stated “the board has been trying very hard to keep this program going over the past two years but with the continuing decline in funding and decrease in clients, the program is no longer viable.” Paro said current clients have been given other options. The last day of service will be Dec. 31. Nevertheless, a defiant Blatchford retains hopes of opening a similar program for the lake again one day. “We would never close the door to anything,” she said. “If this again became a service that was in great need, we at community services would look at it.”

enny Boden said she did a lot of crying the first time she attended a ‘Living With Cancer’ support group meeting as part of the local Cancer Society. But as much as you’d think this wasn’t a good thing, it was for Boden. Boden had just been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and given only another two to four years to live. But being comfortable enough to share her experiences and release her emotions was an experience she needed.
Fast forward 12 years and Boden has beat the odds and is now the current chair of the support group, which meets on the last Friday of the month from 10:30 a.m. to noon at Cancer Society headquarters on Duncan Street. “The really important thing is, when you get cancer you all of a sudden think that you’re alone and you don’t have to be,” Boden, 73, said, noting at times it’s nice to reach out to others who aren’t so emotionally affected as family members can be at times. “It’s about getting comfortable with those people there and being able to share your thoughts.” Boden says there are 11 or 12 folks who regularly attend the meetings. They also have a phone list of folks wishing to be called rather than visit at group meetings. Boden became a group leader in 2004. She and two other ladies basically run the group.
“We do our little opening words, light a candle and go over the rules,” she said, Some rules include, no interrupting, and not knocking doctors who aren’t present to defend themselves. “We also pass an eagle feather around, and that person with the feather it’s their turn to talk,” she said. “Sometimes we have a mom with a son who has cancer who comes, and sometimes grandchildren have come with their grannie with cancer or people bring their spouses, and friends.” Refreshments are also available. Anyone interested in attending can call the cancer society at 250-746-4134. Anyone interested in volunteering for the support group —or for the Canadian Cancer Society’s many other hats that need filling — can also call Marg Tames at 250-743-0910 or email tntames@ telus.net.

UBC salutes the Lake’s space doctor Alumni award: Lake Cowichan native was the medical backbone of the NASA space program
Lindsay Chung
News Leader Pictorial

Lake Cowichan Secondary School graduate who became known as the “world famous physician” in 1969 has received a prestigious award from the University of British Columbia. Dr. William Carpentier, who grew up in Lake Cowichan, received an Alumni Award of Distinction from UBC Nov. 14 in Vancouver. “(Carpentier) is acknowledged as one of the greatest contributors to the field of space life science,” an announcement from UBC states. “His later career has focused on nuclear medicine, and four decades of exceptional work has resulted in important applications and advancements in radiology, diagnostics and cancer treatment.” Carpentier, who graduated from UBC medical school in 1961, was nominated for this prestigious award by the Faculty of Medicine Alumni Association. “It’s a very nice honour,” he said. “As they said at the awards dinner, there’s something like 280,000 UBC alumni — to be singled out as somebody who has done something out of the ordinary is quite an honour.” Carpentier says his time at UBC and in Lake Cowichan before that helped instill a feeling of wanting to do something with his life. “Deciding on a career is based on your lifetime experience, and I was very lucky in my life I think — I was raised in a family that

encouraged members to think for themselves and plan and make something of themselves,” he said. “I think going through high school in Lake Cowichan, that was emphasized. Then I think at UBC, that atmosphere encouraged you to make something of your life, to do something.” After medical school, Carpentier went on to become the chief physician for the Apollo 11 crew. Carpentier’s first interest was around aviation and aerospace medicine because while studying at Victoria College, he developed a passion for flying. While in medical school, Carpentier discovered that Ohio State University offered a program in aviation medicine, and he was accepted into the program. His interest in space was also kindled while he was in medical school, as Yuri Gagarin became the first man to fly in space in April 1961, and Alan Shepard was the first American to fly in space May 1961. Carpentier was selected as one of NASA’s first aeromedical clinical investigators in 1965. He was responsible for the health and welfare of the astronauts, and he helped develop a sophisticated set of standardized measurements for NASA’s astronauts. Carpentier served as flight surgeon for several Gemini and Apollo missions, including Apollo 11, the first lunar landing. “He worked closely with Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins during their pre- and post-flight training, accompanying them on their 45-day worldwide tour and even standing in for the astronauts when they were unavailable, earning him the nickname ‘world famous physician,’” according to UBC. When the Apollo program ended in the 1970s, Carpentier went back to school for

Dr. William Carpentier, far right, with his wife (far left) Willie, brother Gary, and sister-in-law Sharron, at Gary and Sharron’s granddaughter Kirsten’s recent graduation. a training program in nuclear medicine. He joined the Nuclear Medicine Division at Scott & White Healthcare in Texas in 1973, where, according to UBC, “he was instrumental to the division’s success and expansion, particularly during the significant growth of nuclear cardiology.” Carpentier retired from Scott & White in 2003. He still lives in Texas, in a small town on the lake called Belton. Since retiring, Carpentier has been working with NASA researchers to study changes to the cardiovascular system in microgravity. “At first, I was looking to write a book on the Gemini program because some of the data got lost,” he said. “That turned into a much bigger

project. I am trying to develop a database, especially on the changes to the cardiovascular system in space, starting at the beginning with Al Shepard’s flight in May 1961, and documenting changes flight by flight.” “I’m having a great time,” he said. “It’s really neat when you can go through your life and keep on learning. There’s never a week that goes on in my life that I don’t learn something new.” Although Carpentier now calls Belton home, he does get back to Lake Cowichan — where his brother Gary and sister-in-law Sharron Iive with their family — quite often, and he and his wife spend their summers at a cabin they built on Pender Island.

Many congratulations in order
y the way, did you hear: • A warm welcome is being offered from the folks in Chemainus for the return of Jan Donaldson. Jan Donaldson Designs used to be located on Chemainus Road and specialized in custom children’s wear. With her focus more on adult clothing now, including stage wear, Jan has set up her studio in the former Toad Hall. • How about a hearty round of applause for Anne and Andrew Broadley and folks at Duncan Oilcheck. For the sixth time, they have been recognized by the Better Business Bureau of Vancouver Island Torch Awards for business ethics and integrity in the marketplace . • Gillian Thomas wanted to pass along a public thank you to thank Roses and More for their weekly generosity in providing generous quantities of beautiful fresh flowers to Cowichan Lodge. We’re very happy to do exactly that. • Congratulations are in order to Anne Muir for being named the new executive director of the Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association after 14 years of working with the MS Society of Canada as a fund-raiser and community development co-ordinator. Former ED Jennifer Barnes van Elk moves over into the role with the CTRA communications officer.

• And more congratulations are in order, this time to Blue Grouse Winery. Blue Grouse’s 2009 Pinot Noir was hand-selected by chef Rob Harrison of Rushton’s Catering to feature with his dish at the Gold Medal Plates’ Canadian Culinary Awards in Regina, Saskatchewan and was named runner-up for Best of Show. Meanwhile, its new ‘Quill’ label design won an American Graphic Design Award in the 2013 Graphic Design USA’s annual awards competition. The design was created by Joe Chauncey of Boxwood. Not a bad start for new owner Paul Brunner and family who are set to open unveil an entirely revamped operation in the summer. • The catchline for the big fundraiser put on by Chief Michael Harry and the Malahat nation earlier this month was “Where We Gather, We Thrive.” You could say that was an understatement. More than $105,000 was raised for the Malahat Kwunew Kwasun Cultural Resource Centre during the sold-out gala at Brentwood College, attended by more than 300 people, including actor Adam Beach.
