raphic testimony by Bill Gillespie described the Const. David Pompeo approachmoment he es the Duncan courthouse for was shot by Const. David Pompeo on Sept. 18, 2009. his trial Wednesday morning. “I knew I’d been shot,’’ he said during questioning by Crown Counsel Todd Patola in Pompeo’s aggravated-assault trial this week at the Duncan courthouse. “I couldn’t believe it. It was one of those Àash bangs. Then I remember lying on the ground and blood gushing out all over my face. I remember tasting it and choking on it.’’ Gillespie acknowledged he was driving while prohibited on Henry Road, heading toward friend Dale Brewer’s place when he noticed a police vehicle behind him. “Panic set in,’’ Gillespie said. “I got nervous and realized the police were behind me. I ¿gured there was nowhere to go so I pulled up into Dale’s driveway where I was going in the ¿rst place.’’ The panic stemmed from a three-year driving ban dating back to 2007, he said. He testi¿ed he coasted down Juniper Road to Brewer’s driveway, aware of the of¿cers’ presence and stopped in the driveway. “I didn’t see the problem moving ahead 70 feet to pull into my friend’s driveway.’’ Gillespie said he stopped immediately in the driveway. “There was no skidmarks or anything. I just came to a nice controlled stop.’’ At that point, “Dale and I were both ordered out of the car at gunpoint,’’ said Gillespie. “I heard both of¿cers. I, myself, was paying attention to the of¿cer on the driver’s side of the car.’’ That was Const. Pompeo, who was accompanied by Const. David Barnett. “What did you hear the of¿cers say?’’ Patola asked of Gillespie. “Put your hands on your head and get down to your knees onto the ground,’’ responded Gillespie. more on A5

Students go back to school with drunken party Three-hour gong show: Police custody and hospital visits after drunken underage party in Shawnigan Lake area John McKinley
News Leader Pictorial
S
omeone forgot to tell south Cowichan’s next generation of leaders: graduation is in June. Shawnigan Lake RCMP arrested four people and sent three more to hospital after breaking up what they were told was a grad party in rural Shawnigan Lake
Tuesday night. According to a release from Cpl. Jason Kerr, police received a complaint about a large party at about 10 p.m. When they arrived, they found 100 plus young people, most of whom were at various states of intoxication and most of whom were under the legal drinking age. Kerr said the youths identi¿ed themselves as the “grad class” from Frances Kelsey Secondary School. “Due to the high level of intoxication for some of the youths, B.C. Ambulance Paramedics were required to attend to assist in treating and assessing. Ambulance crews from Mill Bay and Duncan responded to the scene,” Kerr said. “Three youths — one female, two males, all under age — were determined to require medical treatment due to their high levels of
intoxication and were subsequently transported via ambulance to hospital in Duncan. Police held four boys in custody until they sobered and expect charges to be laid under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act. Parents and sober friends of the attendees were called to attend in order to safely transport the people home. “This incident occupied a signi¿cant amount of emergency service resources as all the onduty members of the Shawnigan Lake RCMP were required to attend along with two B.C. Ambulance crews,” Kerr said. “Police spent approximately three hours breaking up the party, ensuring those requiring medical attention received it, contacting sober people to pick up the intoxicated persons, making sure no one was attempting to drive drunk and transporting some to cells.”

he most serious of all female cancers is ovarian cancer. Over 2600 Canadian women are diagnosed every year and 1750 succumb to this disease. There is no screening test to detect this cancer but when found early and treated, the survival rate is 90%. If you have any abdominal symptoms that last for more than three weeks, see your doctor.
Many people tend to take vaccines for granted but they do save lives. The number of children saved from dying of measles during the past decade was over 9,500,000 worldwide. This represents a 74% drop in measles deaths. Probiotics are “friendly” bacteria found in food products like yogurt and also available in capsules. Diarrhea is a side effect of many regular antibiotics. By taking probiotic supplements during antibiotic therapy, diarrhea can often be prevented. It is best to take the probiotic dose 2-4 hours after the antibiotic dose. Head lice often become at problem in children at this time of year. Some of the older lice treatments are not as effective anymore. Nyda is a spray solution that can be used in children over the age of two and is effective against the lice as well as eliminating the nits (eggs). Our pharmacists can advise you about this product.

Convicted murderer Kleven denied parole One of Cowichan’s most notorious killers will not be free to come and go as she pleases any time soon. Rachel Kleven, convicted of helping then-boyfriend Keith Haynes club his mom, Rhonda, to death with a frying pan in the Haynes’ Cobble Hill home in 1995, has been refused parole. In an Aug. 24 decision, the National Parole Board
of Canada ruled Kleven, 36, an undue risk to re-offend. According to the parole report, psychological assessments have consistently concluded her risk for future violence is low. However, a continued weakness for destructive relationships and substance abuse, as well as poor behaviour during a previous day parole stint have made the board reluctant to give the former teenage murder accomplice the
Cowichan News Leader Pictorial A3 benefit of the doubt. Kleven is serving a life sentence for second-degree murder and was first granted day parole in 2006. Those privileges were revoked last summer for deception, theft and drugs. Keith Haynes was convicted of first-degree murder and continues to serve a life sentence in Nova Scotia.

Riding the nation for transplant salvation Trekking for transplants: Cowichan pair arrives tomorrow on final leg of cycle journey across the country Maeve Maguire

K
ibby Evans got a little choked up when she saw the Welcome to British Columbia sign on her way into the province from Alberta. “Coming into B.C. was amazing. It’s our home province,” Evans said. Evans and her partner in life and cycling Daman Milsom were entering the province from the Rocky Mountains of Alberta on their cross-Canada cycling trip in aid of Trekking 4 Transplants. The two embarked on their 9,000-kilometre cycling trip on June 2 and were having a rest in Kelowna, Milsom’s hometown when the News Leader Pictorial caught up with them. Milsom, who met Evans while playing with the Cowichan Valley Capitals, said the couple tries to do seven to nine days of riding then take a rest day. “Kelowna is the best rest stop because it’s home for me. It’s been great seeing family and friends. It’ll be tough to leave.” The two have raised $22,000 in donations so far, and they have inspired many to sign up as organ donors. They are raising awareness and funds for the cause because of long wait times for transplant patients, something Evans’ family dealt with ¿rsthand. “Kibby’s father was waiting for a liver transplant when we started planning this trek. Fortunately he was able to get the transplant in December,” Milsom said. Evans’ father is doing well since the transplant, something that only provided evidence they were doing the right thing. “His whole life completely turned around since he’s had the transplant,” Evans said. The pair has visited several transplant centres along the way. “It’s been powerful to meet some of the transplant recipients,” Evans said. One of her most memorable moments occurred when they were given a tour of a pediatric renal dialysis unit and spoke with a 10-year-old boy who

We knew by going from east to west we would be riding against westerly winds, but we really wanted to end at home.” After the interview, the two embarked on the last 550 km of their trip toward Mile Zero in Victoria, with a stop in Evans’ hometown — Duncan — on the way. They arrive tomorrow in the parking lot of M&M Meats for a barbecue at 2 p.m. The following day, they leave from Cycle Therapy, which has sponsored the tour, at 10 a.m. on their way to ¿nish line.

.C. Government and Services Employees Union members in the valley joined others across the province in Wednesday’s one-day strike. “From what I understand, the only places that would have been open would have been anything essential,’’ said a spokesman at the Duncan liquor store. Workers were off the job at liquor stores and government of¿ces. “I don’t have any specific details on job action in Duncan and the Cowichan Valley,’’ said Evan Stewart of BCGEU communications in Burnaby. The action was basically the same in 153 communities, with about 1,700 work sites affected.

People walking the picket lines in Duncan said they were not at liberty to discuss the details. The action was an awareness campaign and to start the ball rolling toward negotiated settlements with the government, according to Stewart. “Our members haven’t had a wage increase since
April of 2009,’’ he said. “The morale on the picket lines from our members was very good.’’ The action involved 25,000 BCGEU members and about 2,000 members of the Professional Employees Association and the Canadian Of¿ce and Profession Employees in support. Both the government and the BCGEU remained unwilling to budge from positions after negotiations broke down over

CDH breathing easier thanks to looming completion of $1.6-million renovations Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
P
atient care at Cowichan District Hospital is getting a $1.65-million booster shot as revamps and relocations are completed, health authority brass explained Friday. Upgrades on-stream soon include renovations or changes in the ER, pediatrics, chemotherapy, and ORsterilizing departments while 10 new patient spaces open, and the longawaited MRI unit arrives. “The approximate 1,500 chemotherapy patients seen at CDH each year will bene¿t from relocation of chemotherapy services to the third Àoor, which provides a more functional and appealing space for patients and staff,” site director Peter Fahey says in a release. “Relocating chemotherapy services
Cowichan District Hospital. has allowed the hospital to use the now-vacated area to open 10 new patient spaces for use during the busiest times in this hospital”, said Dr. Len Roy, chief of staff. A nurse-call system, and new overhead lifts are being installed to accept winter patients. CDH has also improved its Medical Device Reprocessing Department, where surgical instruments are decontaminated and sterilized, Vancouver Island Health Authority
staff says. A new case-cart system will smooth the Àow and processing of surgical gear to and from CDH’s three operating rooms. Renovations are underway in the old pediatrics unit space too. Changes will see existing pediatric rooms become four family centered private rooms, allowing families to be together during patient stays. CDH’s MRI pad — fronting Gibbins Road — for the continent’s ¿rst mobile MRI unit will usher some 3,800 yearly scans. The MRI is being shared with hospitals in Port Alberni, Comox, and Campbell River. The $1.65-million tab is being shared by the health ministry and VIHA, Cowichan Valley Regional Hospital District, and the CDH Foundation as a new Cowichan hospital is being planned for the current site, or property elsewhere.
Gillespie denies he wanted to be shot that day “They were both shouting the same command — to get your hands on your head to where you can see them and get down on your knees and down on the ground.’’ Gillespie said he complied. “I made bloody sure he knew I had nothing in my hands. I could see Const. Pompeo’s gun. Then I knew they really weren’t messing around. “I got down on my knees. I reached in front of me to lie down on the ground. At that time, I heard the loudest bang I ever heard in my life. It was like getting hit by a freight train. My body was on ¿re. It was beyond words what was going on.’’ The bullet struck Gillespie in the top of the shoulder, close to the neck. “Did you want to be shot that day?’’ asked Patola. “Heck, no,’’ answered Gillespie.
Under cross-examination, Gillespie seemed to grow increasingly weary from a grilling by Pompeo’s defence lawyer, Ravi Hira. Hira asserted Gillespie knew the police were behind him, he tried to Àee, had drugs in his possession, did not follow commands to remove his hands from his pockets and refuted his claim Pompeo kicked him. It was also suggested Gillespie hatched an elaborate plot with Daniel Topping Sr., with whom he was living at the time, to stage an accident where he could claim money from ICBC. “That is so not true,’’ said Gillespie. Gillespie agreed when confronted by Hira that he went to the Supreme Court of B.C. in February 2011 to start a civil suit against Pompeo. Hira suggested Gillespie was attempting to get rid of the drugs when stopped by police. He also suggested Gillespie talked to

Brewer about trading places in the car with him to avoid the law. “Yeah, I wanted Dale to switch spots with me,’’ Gillespie said. “I don’t deny saying that. It was jokingly said to Dale. I was not serious about it.’’ Becoming agitated at that point, “I don’t know what this has to do with me being shot,’’ said Gillespie. Gillespie reiterated he “absolutely, categorically, was not Àeeing.’’ After being ordered out of the car by of¿cers, “I deny moving forward towards him at all,’’ Gillespie said. Gillespie denied throwing his car keys or reaching for his pockets after being stopped by police. “He said, ‘don’t move or we’ll shoot,’’’ said Gillespie of the orders from Pompeo and Barnett. “I was pretty much on the ground when I was shot. I was two inches away from the ground.’’ The trial continues.

One dead, another injured in ATV crash on steep, hairpin turn near Nitinat Lake Names not released: Driver initially could not be found in aftermath of crash Tamu Miles
Lake Cowichan Gazette
A
woman is dead and a man seriously injured following an ATV accident in the region’s far west end. Lake Cowichan RCMP were called to the scene of a fatal ATV accident on Ditidaht First Nation territory near Nitinat Lake at approximately 10 p.m. on Aug. 27. Cpl. Krista Hobday says the Malachan First Nations Volunteer Fire Department was ¿rst on the scene, followed shortly by B.C. Ambulance attendants. There were two individuals
involved in the accident, the driver of the ATV, a 52-year-old male, and a 45-year-old female passenger. The female was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver was taken to a hospital in Port Alberni, and then transferred to Victoria General Hospital with serious injuries. “The driver is in serious condition, but he’s hanging on,” said Hobday on Aug. 31. Police have declined to release the names of the pair. The man was from Nitinat, the woman from Port Alberni. When police arrived at the scene, the female was trapped under the ATV, and police noticed evidence to suggest a second person was
involved. “The of¿cers couldn’t ¿nd him,” said Hobday. “They had to call in a dog to locate the second occupant.” A collision analyst was called from South Island Traf¿c to determine the cause of the accident, but police said the pair was on a road in the Malachan reserve, travelling down a steep hill with a hairpin, right-hand turn at the bottom. “No cause has yet been determined, but there are possible charges pending, depending on the outcome of the investigation,” said Hobday. It has not yet been determined if alcohol was a factor in the incident. Police were on the scene until approximately 2 a.m.
Cash injection helps Lake Cowichan in bid to kickstart downtown renovation with Renfrew Square project
A
downtown remodeling project in Lake Cowichan just got one-third of the way to its goal. On Sept. 4, the Island Coastal Economic Trust announced funding approval of $126,500 for construction of the $380,000 Renfrew Town Square Project. According to a press release from ICET, Renfrew Town Square will link pedestrian and cycle movements in all directions, serve as an outdoor gathering space and host live performances, art displays and a wide
range of other community uses. “This revitalization will breathe new energy and vitality into the community of Lake Cowichan, which will attract more visitors, business activity and economic bene¿ts to the region at large,” said ICET chairman Phil Kent in the release. The project is expected to be a catalyst in conjunction with the revitalization tax exemption incentive program Lake Cowichan council adopted to encourage redevelopment within the downtown core. “We are thankful that the Island

You can help protect our precious coast Conservation area: Let’s make this a reality
T
here’s no disputing it. One of the best things about living in the Cowichan Valley is our splendid coastline. Whether you enjoy it on the water, or from the shore, the vistas and opportunties created where the Warm Land meets the water in brilliant blues and deep greens is obviously one of our ¿nest assets. Would you like to see it preserved? The federal government is considering making that happen. Parks Canada is doing its due diligence on a 2005 proposal that would turn a Push to area of south preserve area 1,400-square-kilometre Georgia Strait into a national marine waters a good conservation area. Local high-use harbours — including one Chemainus, Crofton, Maple Bay, Mill Bay and portions of Cowichan Bay — would be excluded from the plan. But virtually everything else on the Cowichan and Gulf Islands coast would be included and see increased protection of the marine ecology and area resources. The government seems to be bending over backwards to make it clear First Nations interests will be respected and existing commercial and recreational users will be able to continue activities, although with greater emphasis on conservation. North Cowichan council recieved a presentation on this Wednesday. It is generally supportive and pledged to work with Parks Canada to involve local citizens in the process. The News Leader Pictorial appreciates the pains being taken to respect existing interests. But there is no doubt we want to see this happen. Phone Parks Canada at 1-866-944-1744, email straitofgeorgianmca@pc. gc.ca with your questions, or support. Let’s make a protected Salish Sea a reality.

Seeing both sides of: Duncan’s ‘grafÄti mural’ The case against
The case for Process is less important than results. The mural is both attractive and appropriate to its location. It is an improvement to what was there before and it adds to the character of our downtown. We’ve seen Duncan’s sluggish approval process in action and we don’t blame the painters for jumping the queue. Make them fill out the paperwork, sure, but leave this artwork up.
Are there rules in place to protect this community from a development free-for-all? Or is it OK to do what you want, when you want, downtown? If council does not take a stand against someone who clearly and deliberately defied city bylaws, what message does that send to anyone else who doesn’t like the law? Send the right message. Take it down.
This mural is under scrutiny by Duncan council.
Answers hard to come by in Shawnigan village Jay Siska
News Leader Pictorial
I
’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what can be done in Shawnigan Village since I wrote about its current state back in April. And the only conclusion I can come to is: I don’t know. We have, in abundance, what we don’t need: medium- and large-size retail/of¿ce units smack in the middle of the village. There are two buildings full of them, and all but one unit is vacant and has been since day one. What does that tell us? Most likely either the rent is too damn high or the lease terms are unacceptable, or both. Any potential lessees have looked at what’s on offer and have said, “No thanks.” And we’re stuck with it. “Wouldn’t it be nice if...” is something I hear from people time and again in regard to their personal vision of what the village environment should, and could potentially be. Quaint little
shops, Àowers, a place for a glass of wine, a specialty deli.... It changes from person to person, but basically the idyllic little village setting where you can walk and pick up everything one might need. In my perfect village, there’s small retail shops with accompanying small residences above. Basically, live/work without the pretentious “loft-space” cachet. Anyone who’s been through Victoria’s Dragon Alley knows exactly what I’m describing — minus the alley aesthetic, of course. Outside the central village, further development and in-¿ll housing would be of an equally small scale: affordable houses for new families, with the addition of back- or side-yard mini houses to existing properties to meet local rental demand. This would increase the population density of the village area, without adding sprawl or three-plus storey condo buildings. This increased population could then support these new local businesses and shops. Lather, rinse, repeat.
But here’s the problem: we don’t have a community sewage system that is capable of carrying this increased capacity. Despite technological advances, a septic system on a property can only be so small before there’s severe limitations on what it can handle. If I were to demolish my house in the village, I could conceivably replace it with a building containing four two-storey, live-work units and provide off-street parking for the tenants. But without sewerage it’s a no-go, and even adding a mini house to my backyard is impossible without a major upgrade to my septic system. So none of that is going to happen. It’s not that without sewers the village is going nowhere, but the lack of them certainly isn’t helping. And are local taxpayers even willing to foot the bill for a village sewage system until a portion could be repaid via development cost charges or some other method? I’m in the group that stands to bene¿t the most, and even I’m on the fence about it.
COWICHAN LEADERS
Which gets us right back to where we started. Aitken & Fraser has a huge for-sale sign in front. The sister building to what’s commonly referred to as “The Subway Building” acts as a glori¿ed parking area and is as empty and desolate as ever. As is the former church just up the hill on Wilmot Road, and the former credit union space. I’ll reiterate that I love where I live, but any visitor coming to Shawnigan this summer couldn’t be faulted for leaving with the impression that businesses are trying to get the hell out. Wholescale. I’m open to any ideas. But I have none.

Don’t run and hide in a cave to deal with oily realities
Bill for pool troubles should be placed at the feet of politicians who approved it
Dear editor Zosia Miller’s Aug 24 letter is indicative of the depth of thinking surrounding the whole topic of world’s dependence on this ¿nite energy form. It is you and I who create the demand for energy not the oil companies. We, worldwide, create a market presently for 88 million barrels of crude per day. More than half is shipped by sea. It is you and I who use this resource to pollute the atmosphere through our need for energy. You and I need to ¿x it. We need solutions. Be proactive as there are practical solutions with today’s technology to reduce this energy form used in the auto industry by 80% over 10 years — or sooner. Decrease your ignorance by ¿nding vehicles that use the fuel most ef¿ciently or not at all. Buy only these, form large groups to buy only these vehicles and get a practical price. This is one way, but ‘just say no’ like Suzuki is not an option. The Chinese have implemented a plan so perhaps we could be good followers. A BP oilspill in our backyard? Really? Is the Lions’ Gate Bridge the same as a dental bridge? Make proper comparisons. Learn the difference between probability and possibility. Read the de¿nition of toxicity. Why has bitumen not poisoned the whole Athabaska water system to the Arctic after millions of years? Gather facts ¿rst, weigh pros and cons then arrive at a balanced conclusion. How many oil spills occur world wide? How many in harbours? How many under pilotage with tethered tugs, in double-hulled ships in chartered waters? Can/should a very large resource be ignored? What are the economics, bene¿ts locally, nationally and worldwide? Do not just pull the cover over your head ¿rst! Bob Conibear
In my opinion: Hold core accountable
I
t makes me sick to hear the rhetoric at election time, only to see the short-term memories of politicians prevail when decisions have to be made. North Cowichan and Duncan made a decision to build a new pool. They gave a price, and their voters said yes. Then the fun began. Never in the history of the construction industry has a project been so mismanaged. When the dust settled the taxpayers were facing about $20 million dollars debt plus who knows Photographers Paul Fletcher, Ed Wiebe, and the News Leader Pictorial’s own Andrew Leong judge a collection of photog- how much interest yearly. This was never expected and the public could not afford this. It was not what raphy entries on Sept. 2 at the Cowichan Exhibition.

W
hen a Âżeld Âżre broke out at the top of Heger Crescent near Skutz Falls on Aug. 10, two neighbourhood youths seemed to know exactly what to do, and sprang into action. Kyle and Nathanael Jamieson were working outside on their property with their parents when their neighbour, Carla Boe, called them to say there was a Âżre in a Âżeld across the road. “A few minutes before she phoned, I heard screaming just up there,â€? said Kyle, pointing up the hill. “I didn’t know what it was so I just ignored it.â€? However, when they realized what was happening, they quickly responded. “We grabbed hoses and shovels and me and my brother rode (our bikes) over and started Âżghting

Boe and the boys’ mom, Annette, called 911, and though it did not take long for the Âżre department to show up, the boys said they had the Âżre mostly put out by the time Âżre department crews and a Forestry WildÂżre Management helicopter were on the scene. “If it were not for those people, it could have been a lot worse,â€? said deputy Âżre chief Bill Robertson. “They contained it quite well.â€? “They just came in and soaked down the hot
spots,â€? added Nathanael. “We put it out. Me, my mom, my dad, my brother; we all put it out.â€? The family said that the Âżre was started by the neighbour tossing a cigarette butt into the Âżeld, but no cause has been conÂżrmed, according to the Lake Cowichan Fire Department. The boys say 1 1/2 acre burned, but no trees caught Âżre. “Otherwise we would have been Âżghting a forest Âżre,â€? said Nathanael. Broom and other bushes
along the edge of the Âżeld did get singed. “If we hadn’t wet (the grass) down in front of her house, the house would have caught on Âżre and a propane tank,â€? said Kyle. The Âżre also came uncomfortably close to a cedar, creosote-soaked barn, and threatened another neighbour’s property, approximately 50 feet from the property line and the neighbour’s house. Annette said changes in wind direction helped them out, as it Âżrst took the Âżre away from the propane tank, situated in a van, and then later changed again and helped to keep it away from the forest. She is very proud of her son’s actions and the fact that they worked so hard to help put out the Âżre. She has dubbed her sons the “Skutz Falls Volunteer Fire Department.â€? Kyle, 14, said he is considering becoming a volunteer ÂżreÂżghter when he gets older, and Robertson said as long as he has the commitment it takes, Kyle should have no problem whatsoever. The Âżre department was on site for approximately four hours.

eceiving these tickets will actually be a pleasant experience rather than a painful one. The RCMP, Investors Group and the Cowichan Valley Capitals have teamed up to launch a Positive Ticket program for children under the age of 13. A total of 500 tickets have been printed to Cowichan Valley Capitals hockey games, waiting to be distributed to worthy candidates. “It’s for children under 13 that have been caught doing a good thing,’’ said RCMP Const. Kelly Rydholm. “Kids don’t get
a lot of recognition for the good things they do.’’ Tickets, good for one adult admission in addition to the child, will be dispersed randomly throughout the season by RCMP members on the lookout for those good deeds. It can happen at any time — when a vehicle is pulled over and the police see a child properly strapped in the car seat or they’re volunteering or they’re wearing a helmet while skateboarding. “I’m also a school liaison,’’ said Rydholm. “We’ll be going to the schools and if we see something positive or good going on, we’ll give them a ticket.’’ Investors Group consultant Darren Rodney is a former Caps’ assistant and head coach so the company was happy to get on board through his connections. Consultant Jim Tyson, who formerly served in the RCMP
for many years, was seeking some community involvement after moving to the valley from Nanaimo a year ago in May. “Typically, I try to give back to charity or events where the children are involved,’’ he said. “It was a natural ¿t. I had the in with the RCMP and (Darren) had the in with the hockey. It goes right across all boundaries. We’re trying to get them off the street and into something positive.’’ If the program goes well, Tyson hopes it can be expanded to underprivileged kids or certain community organizations in the future. It’s a win-win situation for the Capitals. “We just didn’t see a downside to it at all,’’ said David vanDeventer, sales and marketing coordinator of the Caps. “We were in whole hog.’’

Getting Organized in the Home & Office by Amanda Reimer he word organize can easily become agonizing once you consider the tasks involved, but we all know that getting organized actually helps us create the environments that support the lifestyles we want to live. Like a journey of slowing down and exploring our stuff, getting our life under control always allows us to uncover lost treasures and create more space for future thoughts, time, belongings and efforts. From getting your kids ready for school to dusting off the computer screen, Downtown Duncan can help you create the tangible and intangible spaces for another great year of, “I know exactly where that is!” If you’re a parent that needs to help your child get organized for another year of school and they need new threads, then visit the Sassy Lion Thrift-Store on the second or last Wednesday of the month for great deals on clothing. If you’re looking for books to help your child with math, reading, etcetera, then Volume One Bookstore has a great selection of fun books to help young students learn.

ORGANIZED
Any organizational task should be easy to do, but if compressing files and creating more ram on your computer is comparable to rocket science, then head to Tinkers Computer or Seaside Computers and let their computer technicians assist you. With onsite service and maintenance packages, your computer will be serviced to either compress or clearout old files that are taking up too much space in your computer and your life! Many people think that once their computers become slower than slow, it’s probably time to get a new computer; however, it’s often because there are too many saved files that are halting your online experience. Or…maybe you really do want a new computer to just start fresh? Either way, you will find what you’re looking for with either of these computer businesses. Another local business that can help your home and office get organized is Monk Office. With great back to school deals continuing into the Fall, here you’ll find Canadian made desks and chairs, or perhaps some planners, binders, file-folders, filing cabinets, or a few new lamps to help you find what you’re looking for? Regardless of your organization style, remember that any task worth doing is one that will improve your flow and function in this world. Whether you are the type who tidies up those piles of stuff, or you’re the type who throws everything out, keep in mind that your process is the one that works best for you. However you rearrange your home or office, embrace the idea that you’re creating the environment that will support you and your family’s lifestyle. So, instead of agonizing, let Downtown Duncan help you get organized!

Cowichan Bay slowly settles into a White-out for debut of community dinner
THE BIG EVENT
Cittaslow Cowichan — skipper of Cowichan Bay’s slow food movement — is hosting the first Cowichan Bay White Dinner this Sunday at Rocky Creek Winery. Based on a 20-year Parisian tradition that attracts 15,000 people, the White Dinner is described as a free, family-friendly event aimed at bringing the community together to enjoy local
food and savour the benefits of sharing a meal together. According to Cittaslow Cowichan Bay community development co-ordinator Sharon McLeod, long tables draped in white linens will be set up in the vineyard, white lights will adorn fruit trees in the orchard, a local jazz duo will help set the mood, and dinner guests must dress in white.
Guests are asked to bring a salad or vegetable dish made with local ingredients to share, their own plates, cups, cutlery and chairs. Bread will be provided. Barbecued salmon and crab will be available for purchase. Rocky Creek wines will also be available for purchase at $5 a glass. The event runs from 4 to 9 p.m., 1854 Myherst Rd. Call 250-732-3541 for information.

oing more with less to toast Cowichan as a global vino-and-food destination is being tackled by organizers of the Cowichan’s biggest Wine & Culinary Festival. Lacking a major sponsor for its eighth year, winery and diner owners are serving bon vivants virtual details on line before sipping and sampling at 13 wineries and six restaurants between Sept. 8 and 16. “Everything we’ve done is driving people to our website,” Alison Philp, of the Damali Lavender Farm & Winery, said of wines.cowichan.net. “There’s also been a two-page spread in Eat magazine, an article in Boulevard magazine, plus tons of social media, and press releases to island media. “We’ve done everything we can on a zero budget, but we don’t have a monetary sponsor,” Philp said of the event offering art and music at various venues. Helping hands include Tourism Cowichan toasting the valley’s glass-and-plate Peter W. Rusland/¿le party.

B.C.’s big sipping-andsampling smorg returns to Cowichan next week, this time landing at Glenora’s pastoral, organic Alderlea Farm. Owners John and Katy Ehrlich will host 60 chefs, plus a barrel of beverage makers Sept. 16 during FarmFolk City Folk’s annual wandering fete to food since 1998. Feast’s visit to Alderlea Farm marks the seventh time the gastronomic gala’s been staged in Cowichan. Other venues have included Providence Farm. Some 60 chefs, plus agents for restaurants, wineries, breweries and other producers will appear, including folks from 30 Cowichan food-and-beverage makers, organizer Melanie Banas says in a release. Chef Brock Windsor of the Stone Soup Inn will serve “a local creation not regularly found on his menu,” she noted. The Inn recently received bronze for best Vancouver Island restaurant in Vancouver Magazine’s Restaurant Awards. The valley’s Unsworth Vineyards, and Amuse Bistro’s chef Brad Boisvert, will offer “a delectable treat paired with the wines from the vineyard, reflecting the unique character of the valley,” Banas added of another edible surprise under wraps. The Ehrlichs are ready to host 900-some folks to Feast of Fields that’s among the island’s largest, longest-standing food and wine festivals that sells out every year. Alderlea Farm & Cafe is at 3390 Glenora Rd. Tickets are $85 for adults, $15 for youths age seven to 12. Children age six and younger admitted free.

TURNER, John February 28 1924 – August 16 2012 The family of Jack Turner regretfully announces his passing. Jack is lovingly missed by his wife Audrey, sons Rob and John (Cecilia), grandchildren Nikki, Ryan, Josh, Ty and Trish, great grandchildren Delsin and Eva, nephew Tim (John) and sisters Fay (Dave) and Peggy (Neal) and families. Jack was born in Kindersley Saskatchewan and graduated as an engineer from the University of Saskatchewan in 1947. He worked his entire career with Imperial Oil in Calgary, Edmonton, Redwater and Devon Alberta with stints in Chatham, Ontario and Saudi Arabia. Jack retired circa 1985 but many of the friendships made through work endured. Ties to his working life were also kept through activity with the Esso Annuitants Group, a source of more friends, as were the neighborhoods of his many homes before , during and after his career ended. Jack and Audrey came away with a special friend, or four, or more with each move. Their last long distance move was to the Victoria area in pursuit of year long golf, the other love of Jack’s life. Jack and Audrey were instrumental in getting Ben Castanadas, a fellow advocate of the game they met in Saudi Arabia, Canadian Residency. Golf was always a well for Jack’s amusement, frustration, entertainment, befuddlement and comraderie. It became a gusher with an instructor to Saudi Princes as a personal swing coach and a pal, a Royal Colwood Golf Club membership, and the time to devote to improving the game. Jack played his last round on December 23, 2011, when a heart attack grounded him on the sixth hole of his home course. Quick response by club staff, EMS and the cardiac unit at Jubilee Hospital afforded us more time with Jack but a full recovery was not to be. Thanks to those who extended his life and to VIHA and the Cerwydden Care centre for reuniting Jack with Audrey prior to his passing and to all thinking of him. He was a good man.

Dad was an avid ďŹ sherman, ďŹ shing the Alberni inlet in the boat he built himself, was a life member of the Duncan Curling Club where despite his challenges due to Polio he skipped many teams over the years and along with Esme spent much time RVing and travelling to his granddaughters fastball games near and far. Dad was predeceased by his parents, older brother Vincent and his loving wife Esme in 2002. Lyle is survived by his sisters Molly Howse of England and Donna (Jim) Evans, sons Warren (Renee) and Wray (Kathy) and his grandchildren that he adored more than anything, Tanya, Amanda, Karyn and “Grampa’s Boyâ€? Tyler, step grandchildren Alexandria, Victoria and Anthony Everitt as well as many nieces and nephews worldwide. Special thanks for the care given to Dad by the Doctors and Nurses at the Cowichan District Hospital Emergency and Intensive Care Units. In lieu of owers, donations would be greatly appreciated to Dad’s favorite charities, the United Way, B.C. Heart and Stroke or B.C. Cancer Agency.

Quarterback Gowanlock sneaks in winning TD Bulldogs football: Midgets make big comeback in season-opener Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
C
owichan Bulldogs football teams opened the season with a pair of wins in three games. The Cowichan Midget Bulldogs had a nailbiter in Langley to kick off the Vancouver Mainland Football League campaign, winning 24-23. “It was a great game,’’ noted Bulldogs’ head coach Doug (Opie) Williams. “We came from behind and held on to win.’’ Highlights included: Darren Aitcheson arching his back and making a spectacular catch after the ball tipped off his helmet and Ryan MacDonald returning a kickoff for a touchdown. Blake Torok-Both and Brendan Gowanlock, on a quarterback sneak, scored the other Cowichan TDs. “We started strong and were moving the ball well but were only able to have one score,’’ noted Williams. Langley scored a safety and added a TD from a quick seam up the middle after Cory Lewis made a great tackle on the previous play. Langley added another TD and Aitcheson countered, leaving Cowichan trailing 14-6 at halftime. Langley controlled the ball for the entire third quarter and marched in another TD for a 22-6 lead. Queue the Cowichan comeback. MacDonald scored on the ensuing kickoff and the offense ¿nally got the ball in the fourth quarter. After Torok-Both ran for a TD, the Bulldogs attempted a two-point convert, but were stopped. Cowichan started moving the ball with slightly more than a minute left, with a great catch by Erik Eriksen putting the ball on the three-yard line. Gowanlock plunged in for the ¿nal TD and the convert was missed, giving Cowichan its ¿rst lead. With the generous assistance of the timekeepers, Langley moved into ¿eld goal range but settled for a single point on the ¿nal play of the game. Cowichan takes on the North Surrey Bears at 3 p.m. Sunday at McAdam Park. In bantam action, the Bulldogs paid a
visit to North Surrey and lost 23-6 to the Panthers whom coach Jeff McDonald described as “a very quick and disciplined team.’’ Cowichan didn’t have a chance for a preseason game and the long weekend played havoc with the roster. But the relatively young Bulldogs held the Panthers to two TDs in the ¿rst half. The defence played well, with linebacker Nick Thomas and corner Eddy Walt leading the charge. Mitch Hinton was solid at quarterback and even got into action at safety. Kain Melchior scored the lone Bulldogs’ TD with a huge punt return, breaking free after a great block by Travis McDonald. Jeff McDonald noted the Bulldogs learned a lot from the game and look forward to the rematch Sunday at 1 p.m. at McAdam Park. The Cowichan Junior Bantam Bulldogs routed the Nanaimo Lions 54-12 in their ¿rst game of the season. Coach Trent Jones was impressed with the team’s play. The offense put eight TDs on the board and converted three. Quarterback Damian McCuaig-Jones completed four of eight passes — three of them for TDs — for 143 yards. He also ran for one. Running back Reiley Zarate also had a big game with two long TD runs and a TD catch. Jake Paras added to the total with two long TDs while tight end Brayden Belton and wide receiver Kaitlyn Wright each caught TD passes. Solid blocking from the offensive line allowed Cowichan to move the ball. Linemen Ryan Haywood and Dennis McDonell opened some big holes. The defence limited Nanaimo to two TDs and forced two fumbles, recovering one. Meanwhile, Cowichan Valley Football Association coaching co-ordinator Devon Lawrence has been chosen as a Scotia Bank game changer. As a result, the CVFA receives $1,000 and will be entered for the grand prize of $100,000. Lawrence will be presented with the prize during the B.C. Lions’ game against Toronto Sept. 15 in Vancouver.

Sailing, sailing: Yacht club’s annual event makes an impression Don Bodger

ompliments to the co-chairs and everyone connected with the organization of the Maple Yacht Club’s Labour Day Regatta were Àowing following a great weekend of sailing. “John and I, we received more compliments this year than we ever have,’’ said Jay Rozen, co-chair of the event with John Schnellback. “Several people came to do this race that had not participated in our regatta before. They were completely astounded at what a regatta we put on.’’ It takes a large number of people to make it happen, Rozen added. “Once again, I want to thank all the volunteers who helped out with the regatta. Without our volunteers and all their hard work, it would be impossible to do.’’ A separate ¿nish line brought in for

the ¿rst time this year seemed to work wonders. “By having the separate ¿nish line, we were able to bang off races one after the other,’’ said Rozen. “It just ran like a Swiss clock.’’ About 60 boats were entered in the twoday competition. The dinghy turnout was the largest in many years. “This is a tribute to the club’s dedication to building the junior program,’’ said Rozen. Wind and weather conditions were ideal. “Saturday, we had 15 knots sustained wind all day, with a few gusts to 20 knots,’’ said Rozen. “Sunday, the wind lightened up a little bit and wasn’t quite as good, but still well enough we could get off several races.’’ Nigel Martin (Bullet Proof) won the Lt. Gov. Trophy and Simon Walker (Peptide) the Adams Cup. Full results at www. mbyc.bc.ca.

Mols at the centre of Munich basketball reunion
Friday, September 7, 2012
Cowichan News Leader Pictorial A31
Three the key: Dad managed USA team during fateful game Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
S
hawnigan Lake’s Gary Mols has a direct connection to not only one of the most remarkable moments in Olympic Games history, but all of
sports. Mols’ dad Herb was the manager of the United States basketball team in the 1972 Olympic Games at Munich, Germany. The USA team’s fate in that game came down to a controversial three seconds when the Soviet Union pulled out an improbable 51-50 victory. Mols recently attended the 40thanniversary reunion of the event in Kentucky. All the major players were there and the game is still discussed as if it happened yesterday. “I was impressed with the number of people that were there,’’ said Mols. The Americans entered that fateful Olympic tournament with seven straight titles and an undefeated record of 55 games. Eight more games were won in Munich heading into the ¿nal. It would take a book to recount all the details. Suf¿ce it to say the Americans were robbed of an apparent victory by some strange circumstances. The Americans were trailing with mere seconds remaining when Doug Collins intercepted a pass and was fouled in the act of shooting, sending him to the line. “It was the toughest two free throws anybody has taken in international ball,’’ said Mols. “He made both.’’ While Collins was in the act of taking the second shot, a horn sounded but one of¿cial rightfully ignored it in accordance with the rules at the time.
The Russians threw the ball in, an action approved by the other of¿cial, but then suddenly the of¿cial who ignored the horn blew the play dead. One second was left on the clock after an apparent commotion on the sidelines where the Russian coach tried to call a timeout. Long story short, after the Americans celebrated what they thought was a victory, three seconds were put back on the clock and the Russians wound up scoring for the victory. Mols recalls the incident well. He was 26 at the time and stationed in the Army in Hawaii. Since his father was the manager, Mols had spent time with that team. “I got to hang around with them and I got to scrimmage a couple of times.’’ He also got to hang around them again at the reunion that was quite a time for conversation and debate. At the banquet, seven-foot-four Tom Burleson put everything in perspective. “There were 11 Israeli athletes that died,’’ Mols recounted from the speech. “Ours was just a basketball game. For me, it was good to hear.’’ On the one hand, the infamy of the game is what made it so great. “If we had won that game, no one would have been talking about it,’’ said Mols. “We wouldn’t have had that experience.’’ Mols’ father died about 20 years ago. He left a pile of documentation from the team and the game. “I picked up box after box of all this information,’’ said Mols. He decided to start a website on behalf of the family that depicted his father’s accomplishments and records. It can be viewed at www.herbmols.com.

An autographed photo of himself with Doug Collins makes a great keepsake for Shawnigan Lake’s Gary Mols. He encountered all sorts of memorabilia from the 1972 U.S. basketball team, managed by his father, that competed in the Olympics in Munich, Germany. Mols has a collection of balls, jackets and photos. The documentation his father kept has been put on a website in his father’s name along with details of the controversial gold medal game for all to see. A reunion of the players and everyone connected with the team brought a large turnout with thoughts of the experience still fresh in their minds.

A Cow Ex visit from the prime minister Dateline 1952: Louis St. Laurent stops for the fair Ann Andersen
News Leader Pictorial
F
or decades, Cowichan residents have marked the second weekend in September with a must-do — the Cowichan Exhibition. And in 1952, Cow Ex organizers scored a major coup: the attendance of a prime minister when Louis St. Laurent called in on his way up-island from Victoria. Scores of people ¿lled the stands in front of the stage, reported the Leader. “Timing of the events was carried out virtually with stop-watch precision, yet Mr. St. Laurent gave the impression of not being at all hurried...” During his visit, the prime minister inspected the 4-H section of the cattle show; chatted with many junior farmers; delivered a speech; received a Cowichan sweater from Mrs. Jack Young, third vice-president of the exhibition board; congratulated its maker Mrs. Patrick Charlie and presented three exhibition trophies to their winners. He was also introduced to L. F. Solly, master farmer and Mrs. Solly. Those receiving trophies from the famous guest were Gill Dunlop, best horse-bred in Cowichan; George Aylard, champion Jersey calf; and Archie Stevenson, grand champion Ayrshire cow. Accompanying the prime minister were federal ¿sheries minister R. W. Mayhew, MP Maj. Gen. G. R. Pearkes, V.C., and MLA R. M. Strachan.
