Pompeo says Gillespie gave ‘threat cues’

Shooting trial: Officer testifies training taught him pulling the trigger was justified Don Bodger

T
estimony from Const. David Pompeo focused on his extensive training as the impetus for ¿ring a shot at Bill Gillespie on Sept. 18, 2009 near Chemainus. Pompeo said in his aggravated assault trial in Duncan provincial court Monday that he took several factors into account in a short period of time before reacting. “I was taking in a lot of information very quickly,’’ he said. Defence lawyer Ravi Hira asked Pompeo to list the factors that caused him to fear bodily harm or fear for his life. “We were dealing with two known offenders,’’ said Pompeo, who had partner Const. David Birchett with him in an unmarked police vehicle. Dale Brewer, a passenger in Gillespie’s car stopped by police, had been involved in property crimes and was a known drug user, Pompeo said, and Gillespie was also a known drug user with a record of violence. Pompeo said his training taught him those types of individuals can be very unpredictable and violent. He said the vehicle was Àeeing down a dark road. “We didn’t initially know where they were going to end up,’’ said Pompeo. “We were unable to communicate and formulate a plan. The surrounding environment, it was very dif¿cult to see. There was some ambient lighting in the area.’’ Gillespie earlier said he eased to a stop in Brewer’s driveway, but Pompeo said it was more of a skid. Gillespie also said he did exactly as he was ordered, but Pompeo described the scene differently. “He chose to blatantly ignore my command, exit the vehicle before being asked to do so and advancing on me at gunpoint. “I’ve never seen that before,’’ he added. Crown counsel Todd Patola suggested to Pompeo that he had to consider the totality of the situation because his reaction might either be excessive or inadequate. He made reference in questioning to something known as the 1,000-yard stare or a Zombie-like state. “It appeared as though he was looking right through me,’’ said Pompeo. more on page 5

The case was adjourned until Sept. 21 for sentencing proceedings in Duncan’s B.C. Supreme Court. Menard is not in custody. The soft-spoken suspect appeared brieÀy in court with others, believed to be family and friends. Judge Smith explained to Menard the consequences of his guilty plea, assuring that it was made without pressure or coercion. The Nanaimo man was 22 when charged with second-degree murder following the July 4, 2010 shooting death of his father, Tony, 52, during a camping trip west of Nitinat Lake. Menard’s father died after he was shot multiple times during a target-practice outing with family in the Somerset mountain range west of Nitinat Lake.

Accused Jones/Stone murderer gets a preliminary hearing in April
UP FRONT
The local man accused of the first-degree murders of Karrie Ann Stone and Tyeshia Jones is slated for two weeks of preliminary-inquiry proceedings in Duncan court this spring. William Elliott had those court dates set Tuesday in Duncan’s B.C. Supreme Court, presided by Judge Evan Blake. The accused appeared via pre-trial video-conference
link in the session attended by his lawyer, Scott Sheets, and Crown counsel Laura Ford. Considering the province’s clogged courts, Ford said she was happy to get the dates — the weeks of April 22 and May 13 respectively — in proceedings that have gripped the valley since Jones’ body was found on Cowichan Tribes’ land in January 2011 near Duncan. “Elliott’s made no application for bail,” Ford said of the
suspect, who’s locked in Victoria’s Wilkinson Road jail. For Jones’ friends and family, it means seven more months of waiting for Elliott’s trial. “It’ll just take a lot of patience,” Jones’ mother, Mary Jim (left), told the News Leader Pictorial. Ford said, if found guilty, Elliott could face a mandatory life sentence, with parole possible after 25 years.

Olympic dream achieved, rower lights Äres at his alma mater Malcolm Howard: Brentwood students inspired by London silver medallist Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
W
inning Olympic medals and hitting academic heights was a long series of short strokes for oarsman Malcolm Howard. The casual yet energetic Brentonian visited his alma mater Friday where he inspired the college’s students by talking about his achievements as if he was back in the cafeteria or the gym. “I improved my grades gradually,” he told a T. Gil Bunch theatre packed with students and staff. “Brentwood taught me that through hard work I’d get to do some really special things.” Like winning Olympic-rowing gold in Beijing in 2008, and silver in London recently with his eight-member crew. Those prizes followed Howard’s graduation in sciences from Harvard in 2005, after pulling an oar with the ivy-league university’s varsity-eight crew for three years. Little wonder Brentwood’s Àeet boasts a boat named in Howard’s honour after he pulled in the school’s senior boys’ eight in Grade 11 and 12. He and wife, Erika, next head to Oxford, England where Howard, 29, starts masters of science studies in clinical research. He hopes to race in the Oxford-Cambridge event in March. But the oarsman clearly remembered his three years at Brentwood from where he graduated in 2001. “This is where I learned to work hard,” he said, relating how some Harvard students were daunted by the work load. “I told them ‘This is kinda like Brentwood, but a bit harder,’” said the former Ellis House resident. But the Victoria native’s desire to reach greatness bit by bit was his driving force. “I wanted to keep pushing to the next level,” he said, citing his Brentwood hero, David Calder, a ‘96 grad and a junior world-rowing champ that year with fellow Brentonian, Kevin White. Fueling Howard’s engine during the past seven

Howard —who met Prince Harry at the Games (right) — spoke at his alma mater Friday. years was a strict training regime of eating, competitive training, and sleeping. Part of his stamina was stoked by Olympic coach, Mike Spracklen, who said, “There are no unrowable conditions,” Howard told rapt students as powerpoint photos appeared overheard. Conditions were great when Canada’s eight struck silver in London, edging the British boat, and narrowly being shaded by the Germans by just 1.24 seconds — a clip of which was also screened Friday. A proud Howard said he felt responsible for his crew’s efforts in London — enough that they stayed in a hotel, rather than the chaotic Olympic Village, to focus on training. It paid off, especially when Howard met Prince Harry and showed him his silver medal Aug. 1 at
THERE’S NO FAMILY EXACTLY LIKE YOURS
Canada House. “He’s totally cool,” Howard told the British press of Harry. “He’s just another guy.” Toronto’s Ian Stothart, of Brentwood’s varsity eight, thought Howard’s inspiration was awesome. “It’s hard to touch base with Olympians, but it’s just nice to hear in person from people who made it to that level. “Malcolm said 15 years ago he was in our shoes, so he made it more real for me to get to an Olympic level.” Likewise from fellow Grade 12er, Jeff Birtwistle. “I thought it was inspiring how he started out as a normal kid, and showed you can do anything — like go to Harvard and be on the national
team.” Howard passed around the results of his efforts — his two medals — to Brentwood students. But he had a warning. “Don’t bite or put the medals on. There are tooth marks on my gold medal, and they’re not from my teeth.”

Paralympian Peter rides into a golden sunset Wheelchair basketball: Team leader cements reputation as one of Cowichan’s finest athletes ever Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial

ichard Peter’s grand ¿nale in competitive men’s wheelchair basketball couldn’t have been scripted any better. The Cowichan product’s veteran leadership was a huge factor, as Canada won the gold medal at the Paralympic Games in London, England with a 64-58 victory over arch-rival Australia. Australia went in as the defending champs from 2008 in Beijing, interrupting a Canadian winning streak from 2004 in Athens and 2000 in Sydney, Australia. Peter has been on all three
of those Canadian goldmedal teams and the previous silver medal winners in Beijing. He started his Paralympic career on the Canadian team that placed ¿fth in Atlanta. Peter already announced the London games would be his last and he obviously went out in a blaze of glory with his teammates. His 40th birthday on Sept. 10 also coincides with the closing ceremonies of the Paralympics so he couldn’t ask for anything more. Canada concluded the tournament with a perfect 8-0 record. Peter knew it was going to be a great team heading into the Paralympics, with a mix of veterans and youth. It was a focused group from the beginning and

Peter was ready to do his part, he noted in an email to the News Leader Pictorial before the games. “I’ve been playing well and ready to help out the team, also pretty healthy,’’ he indicated. Canada had trouble

scoring buckets early in the gold medal game. The team was shooting just 41 per cent from the ¿eld but still managed to take its ¿rst lead four minutes into the second quarter. Canada gained strength by outscoring Australia 20-15 in the third quarter aand took the victory with ttremendous defence in the ffourth quarter. After winning ¿ve s straight preliminary g games, Canada trounced S Spain 77-51 in the quart nals and knocked off ter¿ h Great Britain 69-52 host i the semi¿nals before in t taking its talents all the w to the title with the way v victory over Australia.
Through all his accomplishments, Peter has always gathered strength from his roots and family in the valley. He visits whenever possible but leads a busy life on the mainland. “I just want to give a big shout out to all my family and friends back home on the island and a big thanks for all of the support in getting me here,’’ he indicated. “I couldn’t have done it without all of the support from everyone back home. “I am proud to be representing Canada here and even more proud to be representing Cowichan Tribes and all my First Nations brothers and sisters back home.’’
Pompeo says Gillespie agitated and not listening prior to shot from page 1
“It is not indicative of someone who is exercising mental planning?’’ queried Patola. “It was one factor among many that I was taking into consideration,’’ responded Pompeo. “To me, it was a threat cue indicative of someone planning.’’ “Why did you say you thought he was stoned?’’ asked Patola. “That was something that came to my mind at the time — it was
based on his driving behaviour, his look, the fact he appeared to be agitated and wasn’t listening,’’ said Pompeo. Patola suggested Pompeo couldn’t say if Gillespie was high on drugs. “Something I observed that I referred back to my training, something I watch out for,’’ said Pompeo. “It was concerning. I was pointing a ¿rearm at him and he didn’t seem to be responding to anything
I was saying.’’ Hira later questioned John McKay, a retired Vancouver Police Department of¿cer, about actions police typically watch for and react to when stopping and questioning suspects in a vehicle. He asked what training police get concerning how Gillespie and Brewer allegedly left their car, then how Gillespie allegedly used his left hand to reach into the pocket of his pants, and allegedly discard a rectangular, white object.
McKay explained how police analyse the “totality” of a situation that could spell an attack, possibly with a weapon. “It means more risk to the of¿cer,” he told Judge Wood. McKay also explained how a suspect can “stare through you.” “No matter what you say, doesn’t matter to them,” he said, telling how a female had used the stare, then tried to stab him. The trial is set to resume Thursday.

Disabled Crofton resident Dorothy Sayle (with caregiver Tobius Holmes) is just $1,500 away from getting a much-needed lift, thanks to a Cowichan woman. Holmes goes beyond just doing the job and is dedicated to his patient. “Dorothy needed help and no one was stepping forward so I jumped in there. She’s more like a sister to me, even though she is so much older.” he said. Neither Holmes nor Hourigan have the right equipment to move the chair-lift and they have been trying to ¿nd help to move it. “It would be nice if someone would take this step a further and help these people get this thing into their home and make life easier for them.” Said Hourigan. If anyone would like to help Holmes with moving and installing the lift, or with ¿lling the fundraising gap, donations can be made at tinyurl.com/DeaDea51 or call 250-324-3465.

The Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary’s) The Regiment as part of its 100th anniversary will conduct a Freedom of City Parade at 1:00 P.M. in front of City Hall on Sunday September 16, 2012 in Nanaimo, BC. The Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel E.P. Boucher will be confronted by His Worship Mayor John Ruttan and Council. In addition, the Regiment will march
through the city to the Nanaimo Cenotaph arriving at 1:40 P.M. and present a plaque to the City. The ‘Old Guard’ comprising of veterans and past members of Regiment, will join the parade just before the Cenotaph. The Regiment was honoured by the City of Nanaimo with the granting of the ‘Freedom
of the City’ on October 5, 1974. The Regiment has a long history in the City of Nanaimo and surrounding communities and has provided assistance as required during emergencies and other events. An ‘Open House’ will be held at the Brigadier D. R. Sargent Armoury, 709 Nanaimo Lakes Road, starting at 3:30 P.M.

rofton’s Dorothy Sayle will be getting a chair-lift thanks to a generous community member. Yvonne Hourigan contacted Sayle’s caregiver, Tobius Holmes, after reading Sayle’s story in the Aug. 24 Cowichan News Leader. Sayle, 50, is autistic and has physical disabilities that limit her mobility and Holmes says stairs are dangerous for her. “I read the article in the paper and thought I could help,” Hourigan said. “I have an autistic daughter myself and I know how dif¿cult it is. The chair lift was just sitting here and it seemed like the right thing to do.” Hourigan will sell the chair-lift to Holmes for $1,500, even though it is worth $6,500. Holmes says he’ll have to pay for the chair-lift from his own money. “I’m going to have to pay for it out my own paycheque. When Dorothy needs something I try to do my best to get it for her. I still have to get the money for the chair-lift, I’ll pay it in installments of $300-400 at a time.” He said. “But $1,500 is a lot better than it could have been.”

Smoke alarms help crews snuff Oak and Carriage kitchen Ă„re early Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
S
moke alarms were the heroes that prevented heavy damage to the Oak & Carriage Pub after alarms alerted staff and residents about Friday’s early morning ¿re that started in the kitchen, of¿cials report. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP and the North
Cowichan Fire Department, were dispatched to a commercial alarm at 4:13 a.m. at the Oak building containing a pub, beer-and-wine store, and an upstairs residence. “Upon attendance, smoke was observed coming out of a door located on the east side of the building. Residents living above the residence were all safely evacuated and accounted for,� Cpl. Greg Pask says in release about the incident at 3287 Cowichan Lake Rd.
“The North Cowichan Fire Department was quickly able to suppress the Ă€ames and prevent further damage to the restaurant. Fire chief Rob MacDowell said a police ofÂżcer and deputy-Âżre chief Scott Henning snuffed kitchen Ă€ames before other ÂżreÂżghters arrived. MacDowell said the kitchen was damaged. “Due to the smoke alarms, and alarm company alerting the restaurant manager, the Âżre was quickly discovered and a potential disaster was
averted, Pask noted. Fire investigator Rob Clark explained the Âżre was centered in a kitchen storage room. Damage costs were unknown. He determined the blaze did not appear suspicious, but the Âżre’s exact cause is still undetermined. “This incident may serve as a reminder for all home and business owners to check the condition of their smoke alarms and ensure they are in proper working order,â€? suggested Pask.

Walking a mile in their shoes really helps Worthwhile journey: Those taking difficult steps to ease the burden of others worthy of our applause
K
ibby Evans and Daman Milsom know the routine. Foot to pedal. Pedal to sprocket. Sprocket to chain. Chain to wheel. The pumping of the quadriceps. The tension of the calf. The bend and release of the knee. The pain of the exertion and the determination to overcome. Is it any wonder the metaphor of choice for people dealing with illness is the journey? Evans and Milsom are a recent local example of this; their cross-Canada bike ride Trekking4Transplants has raised Walking for a more than $25,000 in the campaign to raise awareness about the need for organ cause shows donors. the best of us Their trek mirrors the strides of countless others who have taken the torch from Terry Fox whose Marathon of Hope remains a beacon more than a generation later. The Kidney Walk, Paws For The Cause, the Terry Fox Run — these are just a handful of treks before us at the moment. In these events, the healthy attempt to reduce the strain on the in¿rm through the gesture of putting temporary strain on themselves. This weekend, hundreds will march the grueling 56-kilometre trek around the shores of Cowichan Lake in the annual Great Lake Walk. Many will take part simply for the challenge. Others, however, will walk for a cause. They will put one foot forward and then another — pushing through the blisters, the aches and the fatigue in recognition of struggles past and struggles yet to come. They walk in the hope their struggle can ease the struggles of others. They put their faith into the concept that with sacri¿ce comes a better tomorrow. By walking together we can ease the journeys of us all.

The good and the bad of this week in Cowichan This we don’t
This we like It was year two for the Cowichan Exhibition at its new site. And we have to say it has settled in nicely. Both fairgoers and organizers are starting to take full advantage of what the new property offers. Congratulations and thank you to all those showing at the fair, and volunteering to help make it happen. Just another Ex-cellent weekend.
The Cowichan Exhibition continues to delight.
Valley dipping its toes in hippy-mom waters Ashley Degraaf
News Leader Pictorial
M
y sister calls me a “modern hippy mom.” That means I’m sensitive to the environment, try as much as I can to buy organic and live off the land, dress in earthy tones and choose green baby products and local “Give it a few years foods for my son. But by no means am and that hipster I a true hippy. chick becomes a Let’s just say my husband and David hipster mom.” Suzuki aren’t going ¿shing together. Sometimes I use heavy-duty chemical cleaners. I wear lululemons and like to shave my arm pits.
Degraaf
But there’s something interesting about my sister’s observation and the term “modern hippy mom.” I’ve noticed there’s a trend in¿ltrating Cowichan — the young ‘hipster,’ Sitka clothingwearer, alternative music-lover, getting kicks at Coffee on the Moon, The Garage or Rock of the Woods. Give it a few years and that hipster chick becomes a hipster mom. Or there are the born-again hipster moms who practise mom and baby yoga (I admit I do this), buy eco-soothers, sippy cups, baby slings and carriers and cloth diapers, push breastfeeding, natural birth and placenta eating (I de¿nitely didn’t do the latter). It’s hip to be a hippy but there’s a difference between being hip and a hippy. You go all the way or you mix-and-match your choices. I’m a born-again. And I don’t think I have the gusto to go all the way.
Some say last week’s grad party fiasco was blown out of proportion. Do the 2013 grads of Frances Kelsey have any idea what it costs the taxpayer for three hours’ work by a half-dozen cops and paramedics? Have they considered the possibility of those men and women being unable to respond to a real emergency because they were babysitting? Grow up.
COWICHAN LEADERS
For one, it’s expensive to go au naturale. Businesses know it’s a niche market and therefore bump up prices. And there’s eco-friendly everything when it comes to baby swag including creams, clothing, grub, gadgets, toys, teethers, blankets and bibs. I mix-and-match my purchases. I always buy Duncan’s Matraea Mercantile’s diaper balm because it works, you know exactly what’s in it, it’s natural and it’s local. Only once in awhile do I buy organic baby clothes. But I make all my own baby food, mostly from organic fruits and vegetables. I like a certain type of organic, muslin blanket for Jack but at the same time I would never do cloth diapers. Which leads to my second point. Sometimes going green is a lot of work. For me it’s a big no thanks to cloth diapers. When there’s so much laundry already, why add more and
frankly would it not be way too messy? I like the idea of baby carriers. I have one for us for hikes and strolls on the beach, but I’m not super gung ho on the idea of wearing Jack all around the house in a wrap or sling while I cook and clean. Some separation is OK. There certainly are a lot of pressures for moms to conform to the ‘closer to nature’ lifestyle of a hippy. But I think for every mom it comes down to the question, how much are you willing to sacri¿ce? What makes sense to you? And how much money do you have to spend? My sister may call me a ‘granola girl’ or ‘hippy mom’ but what I think I am is just me. Ashley Degraaf is a News Leader Pictorial reporter who writes here monthly while on maternity leave.

Do you support creating a federal marine park in the Strait of Georgia? “Definitely yes, but the federal government wouldn’t necessarily financially support the reserve with staff and money. The park idea is just greasing the voting pot.”
Jenny Ferris, Cobble Hill
“Yes, or course. We have a boat. Unfortunately you require a boat to get to the (Gulf) islands. It’s nice to preserve marine and land areas for our kids and future generations.”

Don’t count your chickens...
Dear editor This is a true story. A young man, just married, saw an ad in the paper: ‘for sale, 24 laying hens.” His new wife and he decided to buy the hens and with the surplus of eggs, sell them and supplement their kitchen expenses. After a week or so, the hens had not laid any eggs. The husband knew an old farmer so he asked him for advice. The old farmer told him the weather was turning cold and the hens’ butts had tightened up, so to start them laying he would have to get a large tub and dip their butts in warm water, and that usually does the trick. The husband went back to the farmer and said the hens were still not laying. Of course the farmer was only kidding him. Hens don’t keep laying all the time, so you have to kill them and put them in the pot, but they are as tough as an old boot. And it’s my opinion it is cheaper to buy eggs from the store. Richard L.

S
heldon Crawford is accustomed to challenging himself. As a military police officer at CFB Esquimalt and with a 2008 tour of Afghanistan under his belt, the 25-year-old corporal understands the mental and physical strength required to get the job done. But when he trades in his uniform for cycling shorts this fall to conquer the 1,000-kilometre Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, Crawford will be thinking of the hundreds of B.C. children diagnosed with cancer who struggle with much greater challenges every day. “I remember "I remember seeing the Tour de Rock, it was seeing the Tour de a big thing growing up on the Island," Crawford Rock. It was a big said. "It's an amazing cause, and cancer is that someone so young shouldn't have thing growing up on something to go through." the Island.” Crawford is one of two military police officers participating in this year's tour – the other is – Cpl. Sheldon Cpl. David Thompson, who works out of CFB Crawford Comox. The roster includes 14 police officers, two members of the media and two special guests. Since its inception in 1998, Tour de Rock has raised more than $16.6 million for the Canadian Cancer Society. The money is earmarked for pediatric cancer research and also helps fund Camp Goodtimes, a medically supervised summer retreat for kids dealing with cancer. "It gives the kids and their families the opportunity to have fun and not worry about chemotherapy and all their medical appointments," Crawford said after he visited the Maple Ridge camp last week. Crawford's personal fundraising goal is $12,000, although he hopes to raise more He's already managed to collect $7,000, including $4,000 from a concert at the Pacific Fleet Club in Victoria. "It's an excellent opportunity to give back and see some of the Island," he said.

Cowichan ÄreÄghters rally to replace Äre-safety house in fundraising blitz Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
K
ids aren’t the only folks who need home ¿resafety smarts. Cowichan’s 18 volunteer ¿re halls will try on Saturday (Sept. 15) to ¿ll their helmets with the balance of bucks needed to build a new ¿re-drill house, as the current mobile structure is too small and worn out. “The biggest difference is access to the new house,” explained Michelle Rodger, a 14-year Chemainus ¿re¿ghter who is president of the Cowichan Valley Fire Prevention Association. “We want to teach parents, the elderly, and people in wheelchairs, but our current (two-storey) house can basically only ¿t kids in.” The new house — trucked to various schools, community centres and elsewhere to teach ¿re escapes — will cost about $55,000. Valley halls have raised about $25,000 so far toward the new single-storey structure that would likely be built stateside by the Surrey Fire Safety House ¿rm, Rodgers said. The new house, similar to a

modern and technology has advanced so you can do more, plus the home-escape plans.” Veteran ¿re¿ghter Rob Laver noted: “Another feature of the new safety house is that it has a contained burn room where we can light a ¿re and watch how effectively sprinkler systems can put out ¿res. “This room is completely contained and exhausted, providing maximum safety for all,” he said of one of Cowichan’s best ¿re-safety tools. The current structure’s also too big to be easily stored, so it’s gotten weathered since Chemainus high school students built it 30-odd years ago. “The new safety house would be able to ¿t into just about any truck bay at a ¿re hall, stored in a secure central location so all 18 halls have access to it on a regular basis,” Laver explained of the house that will sport corporate sponsors’ decals. “The ¿re safety house is one of the most important tools we have.” Saturday’s helmet drive runs between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. at Safeway, Superstore, Walmart, Shopper’s Drug Mart, and other spots valleywide.

By Shai Thompson; photos by Eliza Faulkner or just over a year we have all enjoyed the informative and educational writings of Eliza Faulkner as our Cowichan Valley Style writer. Eliza is happy to let all of you know she focusing her talents on continuing to develop and create her west coast wearable clothing line. She had a blast connecting with our outstanding talented Cowichan Valley style creators and style services and wishes to thank you all. Since she has been writing about other people it is with great pleasure I have the opportunity to write about Eliza and give you some insight to her talents. She grew up in the Cowichan Valley gaining a strong inÀuence for fashion from her mum, Jean Cardno who rocks our souls with a killer selection of wearable statement shoes from Cardino’s on Craige St. Eliza says, “ Learning the tools of buying gave me insight as a designer and what the needs are of all parties involved. I think it has made me a better designer as a result. You can get really sel¿sh with your creativity making things that are not really wearable. If you want to sell your product you have to pull yourself back a bit from the artistry unfortunately. ” Off to London she went for a few years to gain an education in the highly acclaimed art, fashion design school Central St. Martins. The likes of Stella McCartney went there and it gives Eliza instant credibility with her peers; she is not just a pretty face, she has forward vision which is golden in the fashion world. To see her line of clothes is to witness a beautiful expression of feminine shapes and high quality fabrics that are west coat wearable. I think she is expressing her creativity with keen intuition and in the future if she holds strong to her dream she will become an inÀuential leader for west coast style. She is still on the move and wishes to source the best textiles from around the world to develop her clothing line further. So let us all add support by cheering on our home town, girl Cowichan Valley designer Eliza Faulkner by checking out her line of clothing which can be purchased at the following boutiques or on line at elizafaulkner.com. Fabrications Duncan B.C. Kennith St. Bernstien Gold Victoria B.C. Yates St. Thank you Eliza for passing the style torch on to me, you are going to be a hard act to follow.

raising more than your spirits by Shai Thompson Thom ompso mpson
Singing the phrase
to praise and raise awareness “I must I must improve your bust” is a mantra you will gleefully hear out of the mouths of Bare Essentials Lingerie bra ¿tting experts. There is so much to learn and understand about our forever-changing bodies as they shift from one decade to the next. The staff is full of mind blowing facts that will have all of you saying, why didn’t I know that. The inspiring environment will boost you into fabulous ¿tting foundation undergarments. “A high percentage of women walking through our door have no clue they are wearing the wrong size bra,” says boutique owner Janet Sellars. Janet’s amazing passion for this work has been raising more than the spirits in the Cowichan Valley. One at a time or rather two at a time she is hooking our sisters up and into shape. It has been just over a year since she became the owner of the newly renovated Bare Essentials Lingerie. All women wear a bra for a reason, to make their girls look bigger, smaller, cover nipples or just because we have been taught it is the right thing to do. Leave it to cleavage to gain popularity and get your breast noticed or minimized the size to remove such attention. What ever your reason make sure it is a great ¿t. “Our credo and wish is to ¿t women with the correct sizing ¿rst, this is for comfort and support. Then we ¿nd the sexy colors and lace to engage the feminine ways. Try color for a change, no one need to know what is going on under your clothes. It becomes

your best ke kept pt secret and seems to make you smile with out obvious reason,” says Janet. “ We also provide private post mastectomy ¿ttings to ensure even healing recovery.” Every wardrobe needs three to ¿ve quality bras for daily use. A strapless, convertible, demi cup, wire free sports bra, and a push up or minimizer depending on your size. It is so brilliant the positive health effects a good ¿tting bra can make. Your waist will look an entire size smaller because the girls are no longer swinging low sweet chariot, lessen back pain and reduce the Motown grooves on ones shoulders. Now that alone is worth the investment and a good bra will last when washed by hand. When you book a complimentary bra ¿tting with Janet or one of her quali¿ed staff here are a few helpful tips to ensure you get the best out of your experience. Do not have a heavy meal just before your ¿tting as you may bloat from sodium. The bands of the bra will feel uncomfortably tight. Come feeling relaxed, if you are uptight you will leave feeling frustrated. Do not bring an unsupportive friend or your children. Be open to the experience and education. This moment is all about you! Book your appointment today!

Sunny skies forecast for the 11th Great Lake Walk
THE BIG EVENT
The Great Lake Walk marks its 11th year Saturday. Registration closed Sept. 1 for the annual 56-kilometre event around Cowichan Lake from Youbou to Lake Cowichan. Participants will be running and walking for themselves and for various charities near and dear to their hearts.
Since the first Great Lake Walk in 2002, participants have raised more than $687,000 for 350 different charities and causes. The weather forecast at this point is calling for sunshine on the day. That will be great news for both organizers and the walkers and the runners who will be on the course for many long hours.
People are encouraged to cheer on the participants as they arrive at the finish at the Cowichan Lake Sports Arena. The first runner should arrive just after 9:30 a.m. Prizes will be awarded to winners in a variety of categories, including the oldest and the youngest to finish.

T
oopy and Binoo are back. A stage production of one of the most popular pre-school television shows in the country returns to Cowichan Theatre after a 1 1/2-year absence. “After a well-deserved rest, Toopy and Binoo are out of hibernation and ready to respond to the cries of their legions of fans,” event promotional material reads. “The fabulous pair are currently warming up their funny muscles and stretching their active imaginations in preparation of hitting the live stage this fall.” As Toopy and his best friend Binoo embark on their most important musical quest ever, they encounter a Blue Cat Blues Band, a Loud Mouth
September festive
Crooner Fish, some Strollin’ Sheep, a pair of Love Struck Dragons and many other zany characters along the way. Toopy is a mouse with a vivid imagination plus a spontaneous and naive outlook that transforms everything. His silent buddy, Binoo, a tiny cat, innocently shares the adventures, but his insight enables him to perceive things Toopy has missed. Toopy and Binoo and the Marshmallow Moon is a theatrical production by Koba Entertainment, based on the best-selling children’s books by Dominique Jolin. Aimed at kids from two to six years old, the show hits the Cowichan Theatre at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Tickets are $25.50.

McFARLAND, Mary February 2, 1931 - September 5, 2012
With sadness we announce the passing of our dear mother Mary McFarland. Mary was passionate about gardening, her arts and crafts, Bingo games with friends from Silver Park and trips to the casinos with her friends and daughter. She is predeceased by her parents Rose and John and brother David Makarowski and husband Bob McFarland. She is survived by her best friend Gerhard (Gary) Scholtz, children Dennis (Janice), Sharon (Paul), Ray (Sheila), Randy, Darrell and grandchildren Leah, Ben (Corrinne), Sarah (Jason), Leif, Luke, Ramlah (Tim), Jessica (Dustin), six great grandchildren, sister Jeanette Gaydos, Lorraine (Ralph) Pritchett and family, numerous nieces and nephews and countless friends. Mary and Bob spent many years in Tahsis where they raised their family. They loved boating, ďŹ shing and made many lasting friendships there. In the mid 70's they made Duncan their permanent home. After Bob's passing Mary found a true friendship in Gary, Lorraine and her family. We would like to thank them for all their love and support throughout the years. Thank you to all the nurses and doctors at Cowichan District Hospital for their compassionate care. Instead of a service, an afternoon tea to visit with the family will be held on Friday, September 14th between 1 and 4 PM at the First Memorial Tea Room, 375 Brae Road, Duncan, BC.

Dad passed away peacefully on Sunday September 2, 2012 with his family by his side after a brief illness. Dad was born in Leo Alberta to Winnie and Gus Watson on the family farm where they lived until moving to Glenora in the late 40’s where they again farmed for many years. Dad was diagnosed with polio as a teenager and spent many months in hospital and at G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre where, after being told he would never walk again, Dad proved the Doctor’s wrong. Dad spent his working life working for the T.Eaton Co., in Duncan and was a tireless supporter of the United Way in Duncan where he served as President and brought the United Way Telethon to fruition for many years. Dad was also a dedicated volunteer for the B.C. Heart and Stroke Foundation for many years, organizing canvassers for the annual fundraising efforts, where along with Esme they would travel the valley collecting the funds raised by those many canvassers. 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. A celebration of Dad’s life will be held at Duncan United Church, 246 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC, on Saturday 15th September 2012 at 1pm, with reception to follow at the Duncan Fire Hall, 468 Duncan Street.

Valley curlers came home with a silver medal from the Canada 55+ Senior Games in Nova Scotia. From left are: Garry Franklyn (skip), James Turner (third), Lyle Sheepwash (second) and Bill Kohlman (lead). Turner was the only Games veteran and it was the Ärst time for the others. The team ran across a powerful Saskatchewan group, but otherwise held its own. “Three of the games were real tough competition,’’ said Kohlman. “We had to be on our toes all the time.’’

t looks like Cowichan LMG Pringle is practically in midseason form already. Cowichan kept the pace up in the Island Soccer League Div. 1 regularseason opener at Sherman Road Park and connected for two late goals to defeat Bays United Liquor Plus 2-0. The game was a rematch of the Jackson Cup ¿nalists from last season. “It was an exciting game,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin. “Overall, it was a good win for us. I think we wore them down in the end.’’ Cowichan product Riley Taiji, 21, who’s playing with the team until January before returning to Cornell University, concurred. Bays United provided a considerable challenge for the ¿rst game of the season, but Cowichan enjoyed the overall territorial advantage. “They’re a big counterattack team,’’ said Taiji. “We could see from the start
that’s how they were going to beat us.’’ But the last 20 minutes told the tale. “I think that’s where our ¿tness came in,’’ said Taiji. In hindsight, Martin was glad to be playing Bays in the ¿rst game. “They’re a team that builds up as the year goes on,’’ he said. A great crowd of about 200 people turned out to watch the battle. Matt Arnett just shot wide on an early chance. Bays settled down after that, but its chances at goalkeeper Joel Wilson were con¿ned to long shots. In the scoreless ¿rst half, “chances were pretty even, but we had more territory in their half,’’ said Martin. Tinkering with the lineup paid off for Martin. He put son Robbie in for Dan Citra with less than 20 minutes to play and Bram Taylor promptly scored on a header off a corner kick. Ryan Andre added the insurance marker on another header off a long throw-in by Winter. “Two set pieces which is good,’’ said Glen Martin. “That’s what we work a lot on.’’ Martin also kept the heat on Bays by bringing in

George Horne and Kevin Jones as subs. The game turned chippy near the end. Bays received ¿ve yellow cards in the end and Cowichan picked up two. Next action is Friday night at 7:30 against Gorge. Taiji, meanwhile, is enjoying his time with the team and plans to make the most of it. “It’s such a solid group of guys,’’ he said. “It’s nice to come and ¿t in right in the ¿rst game.’’

Chicago Bains The name Chicago Bains is already well-known in track and field across the country. Bains, 14, a Grade 9 Quamichan Middle School student, has taken the expertise of coach John May of Black Creek and turned into a dominant hurdler rather quickly. “He worked a lot on my technique,’’ said Bains. “I don’t think I would have made it this far at my age without him.’’ The CVAC Jaguars superstar makes the huge commitment of travelling to Comox once or twice a week during the season for training. It all paid off with the second best midget girls’ time in the 80-metre hurdles of all time in B.C. and a silver medal in the event at the Legion nationals in Prince Edward Island. “It was a really good experience,’’ said Bains. “For next year, I’ll know what’s coming at me.’’ view video at www.cowichannewsleader.com/Don Bodger

Islanders self-destruct
Paying the price: Penalties costly in a 10-3 loss to the Cougars Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
K
erry Park Islanders’ coach Trent Brandvold concedes he’s got some issues to sort out with his team rather quickly. Conditioning and discipline seem to be the target areas after the Islanders went down to three straight defeats to open the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season. The Islanders lost 1-0 last Wednesday to the expansion Westshore Wolves in Victoria, 6-2 in Saanich Friday to the Braves and 10-3 in their home-opener against the Victoria Cougars Saturday night. “On my end, we’re going to work our butts off this week and get better conditioned,’’ said Brandvold. “I want to get these guys working hard so
they’re in shape and don’t get outbattled.’’ The discipline factor was particularly evident in the Victoria game. The Islanders gave up seven powerplay goals and a shorthanded marker while the Cougars did not receive a single penalty the entire game. Kyle Peterson and Tylor Branzsen staked the Islanders to a 2-0 lead, but it was all downhill after that. Victoria led 3-2 after the ¿rst period and made it 8-3 after the second during the Islanders’ parade to the penalty box. The Islanders were outshot 49-13. “They’re on the power play half the game. They should outshoot us by that much,’’ said Brandvold. Changes to the Islanders’ lineup were expected before Saturday’s next game at home against Westshore. “We can beat Westshore for sure,’’ said Brandvold. “It’s a matter if we actually stay disciplined.’’
he young Cowichan Valley Capitals received an immediate jolt of con¿dence from their ¿rst game of the B.C. Hockey League season in the ¿rst-ever Showcase tournament at Chilliwack. But the second game provided a quick return to reality. The Caps smoked the Trail Smoke Eaters 8-1 Saturday, with goals from seven different players. But the offense came up dry despite numerous good scoring opportunities Sunday in a 2-0 loss to the Coquitlam Express. In both situations, Caps’ head coach and general manager Jim Ingram liked what he saw from his team despite the weekend split. “The weekend was good,’’ he said. “We saw a lot of good things and obviously some things we need to work on.’’ Ingram noted the team is carrying half a dozen 1995born players. “That’s a young hockey team,’’ he said. “I like it. I don’t want to veer off course. “Our scouts did a really good job this off-season.’’ The Caps are particularly young on defense. That was more the case with Karver Everson — one of just two returning blueliners — out of the lineup for one game. Tyler Mueller has a year under his belt but the Regina product is still just 18. “I thought the young guys did a really good job,’’ said Ingram. The Caps-Trail game was actually close through two periods. But the Caps turned it on with ¿ve unanswered goals in the third to pad a 3-1 margin, including three on the power play and one shorthanded. Veteran Mikael Jung led the way with a pair of goals. Singles came from Keyler Bruce, Eli Jarvis from Quesnel, Jarrett Brown of Beaumont, Alberta, local returnee Steen Cooper, Hayden-James Berra from Prince George and Jamie Waddington from Coquitlam. Ingram felt bad for his buddy, Trail head coach Bill Birks, who was his assistant when he coached there, because he’s been in that same situation a few times.
“Trail got a bit undisciplined,’’ Ingram said. “We got our power play chipping along and we even got a shorthanded goal.’’ Ingram is not about running up the score so he used the opportunity to give several players extra ice time. “Any power plays that came up (in the third period), we gave to our third and fourth lines,’’ he said. “We kept our emotions in check. “You’re happy you won the game, but it’s a doubleedged sword. I look at it the other way. I’ve been on the other side of the coin and had a tough game. I don’t kick people when they’re down. “Having said that, our third and fourth lines went out there and scored anyway.’’ Against Coquitlam, the Caps faced a tough challenge from a team that looks to be a strong contender in the Coastal Conference. “They were a deep skilled team last year and they returned a lot of guys,’’ said Ingram. The Caps trailed 2-0 after the ¿rst period but hung tough and didn’t surrender much after that to Coquitlam, other than an empty-net goal. “Once we got going, I thought we played a really good hockey game,’’ said Ingram. “We made a couple of mistakes that obviously ended up in the net. “After the ¿rst was over, we went over and regrouped. The back 40 minutes, we played pretty decent hockey.’’ The Caps ¿nished with 34 shots on goal, but couldn’t beat veteran netminder Cole Huggins. The debut of the Showcase concept was a big hit, as far as Ingram was concerned. All 16 teams played twice during the weekend in the same place, ideal for scouts to get the early line on players for the future. “That’s what the weekend was for, scouts out and about,’’ said Ingram. Div. 1 U.S. college and National Hockey League scouts were in abundance for all games. “There was 150+ there all weekend,’’ said Ingram. “It was absolutely phenomenal. I thought it was well-ran.’’ The Caps are on the road again for Aberni Valley’s home-opener Friday. Saturday, it’s a clash between the Caps and the Victoria Grizzlies in the ¿rst game of the season at Cowichan Arena.
