A zombie makes its way across the railroad tracks during the third-annual Community Option Society’s Zombie Walk on Friday, in Duncan’s Charles Hoey Park. The event was billed as a Cowichan United Way fundraiser, but given a series of other signs, some residents are not so sure. For more on this story, see page three.
Province refuses to take unilateral action to prevent river crisis repeat

ucking a dry Cowichan River and another ¿sh kill next fall could rest with regional directors and Crofton pulp-mill brass applying for a new provincial water-storage licence. “We’re willing to work with all stakeholders to avoid a repeat of what happened this year,” said mill manager Rob Belanger after Thursday’s politely tense meeting in Duncan. Crofton mill holds licences for river-water storage and extraction to supply its operations. More storage of spring run-off behind Cowichan Lake’s 1957 weir — to prevent summer low-Àow woes and dead salmon — needs a provincial licence. Rob Hutchins, Cowichan Valley Regional District chairman, indicated if Victoria won’t act
Up to Cowichan: Formal public process needed to change storage practices to save the heritage river, the CVRD board would seek that licence. “It’s the (forest and lands) minister’s responsibility, but if they fail (to act on storage), yes we will (apply for a licence).” Thursday’s meeting drew about 150 citizens, government, Natives and business leaders to the Quw’utsun’ Cultural Centre where opinions and ideas were aired about why spring water-storage didn’t happen in Cowichan Lake to slake a
drought-crippled river this fall. Most anger about a dry river, that killed 1,000 spawning chinook, was vented on Brian Symonds, Ministry of Forests and Lands’ waterstewardship director. “Step up, take on the licence, and do the job,” fumed Gerald Thom, Cowichan Lake and River Stewardship Society’s president. Symonds insisted due process be followed to gain broad community input, plus a formal
licence re-application. “We’re reluctant to issue it to ourselves. We need to go through the process and look at (storage) impacts,” he said of the lake’s 800-odd properties that may be affected. But David Anderson, former federal environment minister, explained B.C.’s legislation basically allows Symonds’ boss, minister Steve Thomson, to boost emergency lake water-storage. “He’s got the authority now,” stressed the Cowichan Watershed Board member, angry Thomson appears to have ignored valley leaders’ May pleas to store water, and head-off a dry river in late summer. “We need the minister to recognize his responsibility and do the job. “The buck has to stop somewhere. It has to stop with the minister . . . acting on the Cowichan,” Anderson said. more on page 12

Voyeuristic cougar creates no further concern A cougar reported on the prowl in Shawnigan Lake Oct. 18 did not prove to be a cause for concern. A resident in the 3000 block of Glen Eagles Road contacted the Shawnigan Lake RCMP about a cougar that came into their yard and proceeded to look into the windows of the house. The cougar then wandered away.
Police made patrols of the area but did not locate it, according to Corp. Jason Kerr. The B.C. Conservation Service was advised of the sighting just in case the cougar turned up again at a residence in the area. “We have not received any further calls about the cat, though,’’ Kerr pointed out. According to the B.C. government, if a
cougar is sighted in a residential neighbouhood, residents are urged to bring children and pets inside until the cougar has left. Phone 1-800-663-9453) if you suspect that a cougar is not just passing through, or shows signs of being threatening or aggressive toward people.

Day of the dead dawning in the Warm Land? Zombie apocalypse? Cowichan bracing as the undead gather in pockets of the valley Krista Siefken
News Leader Pictorial
D
uncan’s second outbreak of undead hordes in the span of just three months has effectively decapitated government assurances all is safe and well in the Cowichan Valley. Cowichanians ¿rst encountered a grotesque gathering of zombies in July when dozens of reanimated corpses were spotted in city square. Local of¿cials insisted the incident was part of Duncan’s SummerFest celebrations, but suspicion deepened when a Zombie Response Team patrol car was intermittently spotted cruising the streets of Cowichan in the aftermath. This was all shortly after the B.C. government had published a bizarre series of zombie preparedness tips on its Emergency Info B.C. website. Friday’s undead uprising, meanwhile, started at Charles Hoey Park and culminated in an unsettling, albeit slow, mass shufÀe through the streets of downtown Duncan. Government of¿cials could not be reached for comment by press time yes“Be vigilant. terday, and it’s And rememunknown how many Cowichaber: aim for nians have been the head.” infected with the zombie virus at this time.

Leader Pictorial from Chemainus. Or, as Ferrill called it, The Little Town That Died. “We have been busy suppressing a Level 2 outbreak in Chemainus,” he said. “So far we are holding our own and have them stopped at the Chemainus River. But, as you know, the river levels have been unusually low lately. Fast-running water is a good natural barrier for the slow, uncoordinated zombies, but with these levels they may be able to ford the river at the shallow spots.” Ferrill said recent rainfall may help, but he’s prepared for the worst. “If they breech the Chemainus line, we have to evacuate the City of Duncan south of the Cowichan River and make our next stand there. Pray for rain.” Ferrill’s patrol car — a former Andrew Leong Victoria Police Department cruiser Rick Ferrill drives Cowichan’s zombie patrol car — a refurbished Victoria police car.

Mounties say a two-vehicle collision at around 3 a.m. saw a black, Hyundai Accent car traveling downhill when it was hit head on by a pickup truck travelling uphill in the wrong lane, RCMP say. The pickup driver brieÀy got out of his vehicle, said he’d return to his vehicle to get a phone, then Àed the scene, an RCMP release says.
The Hyundai was heavily damaged, and its airbags were deployed during the crash. Its 22-year-old female driver was unhurt, but her 21year-old male passenger was taken to hospital with minor injuries. RCMP now seek public help in ¿nding the truck and its driver. The truck is described as a grey or silver Dodge Dakota 4x4 pickup with an extra cab. It should have damage to the front end. The driver is described as a male who was wearing a Halloween costume, that included having his face painted white. Call the local detachment at 250-748-5522 or Crimestoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

chief Mike McKinlay said. Flames were licking out of the suite’s windows when ¿re crews arrived. Police blocked the hospital-hill roundabout and the Cairnsmore-Government street intersection, re-routing traf¿c to other local roads. Apartments adjacent to 407 received some smoke and water damage, being tended by Belfor Restoration Services. The suite immediately below 407 sustained water damage, McKinlay said of the well-known Government Street complex, formerly named Luxor Manor, and Cedarwood Place. Duncan’s crew used the stairwell to reach the blaze. “We did an interior attack and knocked it out,” McKinlay said, noting ¿re calls to Gala Vista are infrequent. The building is insured. It was unknown if there is tenant insurance covering the charred 407 suite, the ¿re chief explained.

At around 5 p.m. Oct. 26, Shawnigan Lake RCMP were called to the Park ‘n’ Ride lot at Frayne Road and the TransCanada Highway in Mill Bay. A vehicle had been broken into, and the owner’s registration papers and garage-door opener were taken, Sgt. Rob Webb’s release says. Thieves then visited the registered owner’s home, and used the garage-door opener to enter the residence. “Once inside, they stole multiple items including computers, TVs, jewelry, highend clothing, purses and shoes. The thieves then left with the homeowner’s vehicle. Bear spray had been sprayed in the residence,” he says. Call Shawnigan RCMP at 250-743-5514 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Telus towers pitched for highway corridor in bid to improve south-end wireless service Telus: Community consultation underway on three potential new towers Caitlin McKay
News Leader Pictorial
T
o call or not to call. That is the question posed to residents of south Cowichan. A spokesperson for Telus said cell towers proposed south of the Cowichan River would provide much-needed service improvements for the rural areas of the Cowichan Valley. The area in question has poor cell reception and wireless access. In the age of technology, Telus claims this lack of infrastructure is a problem. “This project would allow people to dial 911 in areas where they haven’t been able to dial 911 before. The technology can save lives,” explained Shawn Hall, a spokesperson for Telus. “This will open broadband internet service in rural areas.” The cell tower proposal remains in the consultation phase. A meeting was held with the community in Cowichan Station on Oct. 2 to discuss concerns about a proposed tower along the highway corridor there. About 25 people attended. Other towers are being considered near the
Cobble Hill RONA store, and in the Koksilah industrial park area. “We are certainly interested in consulting with the community. We are letting them know what our plans are. We like to hear what the community has to say so we can adapt our plan and be the best neighbour that we can possibly be,” said Hall. According to Hall, the community has been mostly positive about this project. Some, however, have raised concerns about the potential negative health effects and how it might affect the landscape. Annik Moyal-Waldman is one. “Our world is chock-full of such towers, as it is. All sorts of research from a range of authoritative sources and professional journals con¿rms the dangers of cell towers as major health risks and hazards,” she writes in a letter to the News Leader Pictorial. “In a rural region with gorgeous pastoral views and panoramic vistas such as ours, no such tower is needed. Many of us who need fastspeed internet access already have it. There is nothing to be gained, other than Telus expanding its market
share and pro¿tability.” Hall said the company hopes to work alongside the community to address concerns and make amendments to current plans. The consultation process is expected to last a few more months and a date for construction has not been set. “We have had about four people with concerns. We shared information and heard what they had “This will open to say broadband inbecause ternet service in we are still in rural areas.” the consultation phase of this process,” said Hall. “The bottom-line is that this is a service that people have been asking for ... we are ready to make this investment.” Hall said he encourages the community to contact Telus with their concerns.

Story by: Dan Vaillancourt & Kai Bighorn
Cowichan Family Caregivers Support Society has been supporting adult caregivers in the Cowichan Region for many years. Recently it initiated a new program to assist young people who give care to family members in need. Here’s the story of one of these unsung heroes: My name is Kai and I am a proud member of the Resource Team of the Youth Caregivers Program. This group has not only changed my life, but also increased community awareness about youth caregivers, what they do on a daily basis, and what the community can do to support this invisible minority. I am a former youth caregiver who had the pleasure of assisting my mother look after my dad for the last eight years of his life. While we felt fortunate that dad could do his daily dialysis at home, this meant that there was a lot more to do. We helped him with his medications and needles, kept track

of his medical supplies, kept him mobile and nourished, and mostly tried to maintain his comfort. I believe this experience drew me closer to my parents, taught me some valuable life skills and gave me a sense of pride for being able to give back to my courageous father. He passed way in the fall of 2008. When I joined the Resource Team of the Youth Caregivers Program, I did not know that my life was going to change. For starters, this has been my way of healing and dealing with the sorrow of losing my dad as well as a way to keep his memory alive. I felt that my self-confidence and self-esteem were boosted when asked to give presentations in schools, social service agencies and at workshops and conferences about the joys and challenges of youth caregiving. I have made dear friends and have met amazing individuals who are also fighting to raise awareness and develop much needed support. There are no words to describe the feeling of being a part of something that is so ground breaking in the Cowichan Valley and across Canada. Youth caregivers, in my eyes, often have no way to speak up for themselves, but with the assistance of the Youth Caregivers Program and funders such as United Way Cowichan, they can jump into the spotlight and speak up about their needs. The more awareness we as a community have, the greater our capacity to respond.

Retired MP returns from Gaza mission with no regrets way to Gaza carrying aid and solidarity. He was held in Israeli custody for three days before being deported Oct. 23 and put on a Àight to Toronto. Manly, who now lives in Nanaimo, left Vancouver Oct. 3 to join the Estelle in Italy Oct. 4. Others aboard the ship included members of parliament from Norway, Sweden, Greece and Spain. “The people on that boat were totally committed to non-violence; they were also totally committed to seeing the blockade against Gaza lifted,” said Manly. “That blockade is immoral, it’s wrong, it’s illegal, and Canada should not be supporting it, Israel should be lifting it, the people of the world should be rioting against it. The result of that blockade is that there’s a chokehold on the economy of the people of Gaza.” The Estelle carried humanitarian aid, mostly cement for rebuilding, but also some play equipment and balls, as well as an anchor from Canada, which was to be used for rebuiling a boat in Gaza, which would attempt to carry trade goods to the outside world, explained Manly.

Holding hands with his wife Eva, the former Cowichan Member of Parliament came into the airport’s arrivals area, embraced his son Paul and spoke to the media, as a large group of supporters watched. Manly is a 79-year-old retired United Church minister who served as an NDP Member of Parliament for Cowichan-Malahat-The Islands from 1980-88. He was aboard the marine vessel Estelle when it was boarded by Israeli of¿cials in international waters near Egypt on Oct. 20 on its

The Estelle’s crew members were taken prisoner, brought into Ashdod, interrogated and taken to prison for three days before being deported for “having entered Israel illegally,” according to Manly. “In prison, although we were subjected to indignities, we were not treated badly,” he said. As he addressed the media and the crowd of supporters, Manly was asked if he had any regrets or if he was now more proud of being part of the Estelle crew. “I have absolutely no regrets,” he said. “I’m

Bureaucratic excuses won’t protect our river Go with the Åow: province needs to expedite process
A
cynic might accuse the CVRD of grandstanding in the case of the Cowichan River crisis. He or she might suggest local politicians are exaggerating the degree of risk and embellishing their own helplessness, all in a bid to secure political points, and perhaps power for their efforts. That cynic didn’t go to Victoria for a face-to-face meeting with the forests and lands minister ¿ve months ago, then sit through three hours of that minister’s lackey passing the buck and making excuses Thursday night. We don’t blame Brian Symonds for all Province can- the dodging, ducking and deÀecting that went on during Thursday’s river forum; not allow a rather we felt more than a little sorry for him having to sit on the hot seat. repeat of this It’s his boss, Minister Steve Thomson year’s crisis who deserved to be grilled like turkeyand-havarti panini. Thomson has it within his powers to adjust the Cowichan Lake water management plan. He could have done so in the spring in response to a passionate face-to-face lobby from local elected of¿cials. He could have done it this summer, as evidence mounted we were in for an unusual dry spell. And he could have done it this fall in the wake of the crisis. He chose not to. And Symonds, his spokesperson, said he will continue making that choice until broad-based, formal community engagement happens, and consensus is reached. That this spring’s united lobby from local government, and Thursday’s unanimous support from virtually all stakeholders wasn’t enough to wake Thomson from his bureaucratic slumber tells us nothing save bureacratic process will. That means it is incumbent on the CVRD to get that ball rolling immediately. And it is incumbent on Thomson to give that process the priority it deserves.
We say:

This is an investment in island transportation and an investment in our future.
Catalyst’s Rob Belanger speaks at the river forum.
At least 150 people packed the Qu’wutsun’ Cultural Centre to talk about the future of the Cowichan River last week. Cowichan Chief Harvey Alphonse was not one of them. Alphonse issued a strongly worded media release at the height of the river crisis and has been unavailable since. If we’re going to solve this, the chief needs to be present.
Halloween today has roots in the misty past Margaret Speirs Black Press

any Halloween traditions we do today go back to Celtic times. In pre-Christian times, many people believed that spirits from the underworld and ghosts of dead people could visit the world of the living on the night of Oct. 31. These spirits could harm the living or take them back to the underworld. To avoid this, people started dressing up as ghosts and spirits if they left their homes, with the hope this would confuse the ghosts and spirits. This may be the origin of the Halloween costumes worn today.
The fear of crossing paths with black cats, afraid they might bring bad luck, has its roots in the Middle Ages, when many people believed that witches avoided detection by turning themselves into cats. The superstition about walking under ladders may have come from the ancient Egyptians, who believed triangles were sacred. The jack-o’lantern originated from an Irish myth in which Stingy Jack invited the devil to have a drink with him, tricked the devil to turn into a coin to pay for the drinks and put a silver cross, which prevents the devil from turning back to himself, with the coin in his pocket. Jack eventually freed the devil, after he promised not to bother Jack for one year and that if Jack

died, he would not claim his soul. The next year, Jack tricked the devil into climbing a tree to pick fruit, carved a sign of the cross into the tree so the devil could not come down until he promised not to bother Jack for 10 more years. Soon after, Jack died. God would not allow him into heaven. The devil, upset by Jack’s tricks and keeping his word not to claim his soul, wouldn’t allow Jack into hell. So he sent Jack into the night with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack put the coal into a carved-out turnip and roamed the Earth with it.
The Irish referred to this ghostly ¿gure as “Jack of the Lantern,” and then, simply “Jack O’Lantern.” And zombies? Folklore experts traced the zombie idea back to Haitian Vodou practices, to tales of people brought back from the dead as shambling shadows of themselves. In the late 20th century and early into the 21st, zombies became the rotted Àesh version created to be slaves, and biting everybody, turning them into zombies too.

Harper government threat to civil society
Destruction of art cuts to the soul of a community
Dear editor Re: Duncan’s “Community” mural. Was the bylaw upheld? Yes. Was justice done? I think not. This whole matter was a catch-22. There is another bylaw that says graf¿ti must be removed. As far as I know there was no mention of graf¿ti as art, or more commonly “urban art,” that is done with consent of the property owner. There is nothing to separate Cyrus Genier’s mural from vandalistic tagging or negative coarse language or images done without consent. That means a permit cannot be granted for urban art as it is done in the graf¿ti style and that would contravene the anti-graf¿ti bylaw. Shouldn’t the law serve justice but justice should not be overruled by law? A short and touching story was told to council stating what is important is people should listen to each other. Why then was the petition of some 1,200 people requesting this “Community” mural be saved dismissed so readily? A lot of alienation could have been avoided if the motion to destroy had been tabled and there had been further calm discussion, you know, really listening to each other. Art is not an object; it is a very personal creation from the soul of the artist. When you destroy art you cut deep into the heart of a healthy society. Good art is priceless and this young man is an excellent artist, and I say that as a very diverse and accomplished career artist of almost 50 years. As a city that celebrates art to bring in tourism, this destruction will not sit well or be easily forgotten. Perhaps the city should be encouraging quality rather than style on private property. I hope I will be able to assist in some way to heal this tragedy and we become a better community that celebrates our differences in a good way. Glenn Spicer

That means bending the strict-Ă€ow ‘rule curve’ to higher-volume ‘rule band’ levels, explained a chartwielding Larry Barr, regional water manager. The rule band would lift lake levels by about eight inches, he noted. Symonds couldn’t be pried from process. “Unless someone comes to us with an application, we’re not going to unilaterally change things,â€? he said. “We want consensus before changes. “There’s no magic, secret formula but it must be a broad (community) engagement for a change to the

Hutchins and valley mayors sat with Thomson in the spring, and requested the Ă€exible (band) rule be used. “We were told to apply for a licence. That takes 10 to 18 months.

These kids have just the ticket
B
y the way, did you hear: • Jennifer Clark and Devon McCormick won bowling parties for themselves and nine friends from the South Cowichan Community Police of¿ce’s positive ticketing program. Spokeswoman Shirley Walker said program coordinator Const. Michael Furlong presented a variety of prizes donated by local merchants to Jack Wilke, Liam Tupper, Kabore Dunn and Ashley Smart. The names were drawn from the many tickets brought into the of¿ce during the summer program citing kids for good deeds. • Rod Dewar, CEO of Duncan-based Island Savings Credit Union is excited to report the ¿rm has been ranked one of the 50 Best Employers in Canada for the third consecutive year in a ranking by Aon Hewitt. • On Sept. 30, the Cloverleafs Square Dance Club of Duncan held its annual Girl Guide Hall Bene¿t Dance, raising $444 to help towards replacing the hall’s 30-year-old shake roof. The Cowichan Cloverleafs hold regular dances there on the ¿rst and third Saturdays of each month between 7 and 9 p.m. from October to May. For more information call 250-748-3364 or 250-7489140. • Congratulations to Kuldip and Nadine Badyal for opening their Tin Cup Coffee &
Espresso Bar in downtown’s former location of the Dayley Planet. They’ll serve java from Valleyview’s Drum Roaster Coffee, plus light foods. Tin Cup’s opening is imminent. • Look for Sears in its new location in the former Canadian Tire store off Beverly Street and the highway. Duncan’s Sears is managed by Tess Mayo. The store has moved from its former site in the Duncan Mall beside Safeway. • Bad news for all those readying their steins for Cowichan’s ¿rst Beer Fest which was on tap for Saturday at Duncan’s Travelodge. The planned beer-bash features more than 12 micro-breweries with 60 varieties of suds, plus Merridale Ciderworks’ products has been cancelled due to low ticket sales. The hops happening is sponsored by Duncan Daybreak Rotary Club, and News Leader Pictorial owner Black Press. Organizers hope to resurrect the event at a later date. • The Cowichan Valley Regional District was honoured at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention by the Wood WORKS! B.C Community Recognition Awards for the restoration of the Kinsol Trestle. Exciting things happening for you, your friends or your family that you want to share with your community?

Rare long-eared bat released to familiar Chemainus haunts in time for Halloween Lindsay Chung
News Leader Pictorial
O
n a recent Saturday evening, as soon as it became dark, Kari Marks did something rare. Marks, the manager of the Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre in Metchosin, released a long-eared bat in Chemainus. “Most people have no clue we have them here,â€? she said. “They’re quite rare.â€? The bat was taken to Wild ARC from Chemainus, and Marks released it very close to where it was originally found. In the dark Oct. 6, Marks released the bat in the grassy area beside The Steeples seniors residence on Esplanade Street. “The release went very well,â€? said Marks. “Once the bat took Ă€ight, we quickly lost sight of it.â€? The bat arrived at Wild ARC Sept. 21. It was found hanging on the wall by the medical clinic on Esplanade Street in Chemainus. “For us, it was a little bit odd to be hanging like that,â€? said Marks. “They usually hang out in groups, assuming it was a brown bat. We brought it here and checked it out,

This rare long-eared bat spent about two weeks at the Wild ARC rehabilitation centre and was recently released in Chemainus.
and it seemed to be in perfectly good health — no abnormalities at all.â€? When the bat Âżrst came in, it weighed seven grams, but its weight went down to six grams from the stress of being in captivity. The bat was fed — initially by hand — and before releasing him, Marks said he was doing “very well.â€? Wild ARC was keen to release the bat back into the area where it came from.

“The bat will know the territory and likely belong to a colony in the area,� noted Marks. Marks said there are two different species of longeared bats — the western myotis and the Keen’s myotis — and they are not sure which species this one is. “We spoke to a bat expert at the Royal B.C. Museum, and he said it could be either,� said Marks. Wild ARC gets at least
a few animals transferred to the rehabilitation facility in Metchosin from Chemainus each year, but Marks thinks this is the Âżrst time they have had a long-eared bat from Chemainus. Wild ARC is operated by the BC SPCA. As the only wildlife rehabilitation centre on southern Vancouver Island, Wild ARC treats almost 2,000 wild animals annually from throughout the region.

Artistic muse painted Cherry red Cherry Point Artists: Show provides a fresh canvas for local painters Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
L Andrew Leong
André Laplante bends over the ivories during Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 Symphony during Friday’s Cowichan Theatre concert with the VSO.
Sponsorship hits the right notes Good beginning: Big crowd, $10,000 from Peninsula Co-op rejuvenates symphony Peter W. Rusland

R
ecalibrating the senses, and restocking Cowichan’s classical coffers were delightfully done during Friday’s season opener by the Victoria Symphony Orchestra. “I have a present for you,” Ted Rhodes, of the hosting, cash-strapped Cowichan Symphony Society, told a gasping Cowichan Theatre crowd. He proudly hefted a huge
$10,000 cheque from the Peninsula Co-op to fuel the society’s education and bursary programs. But it was the night’s turnout of 500-plus music lovers that tickled Rhodes most. Last year’s VSO debut lured about 350. Since then, the society has carved its shows to four from the previous eight, to help plug red ink. It seems to have worked. Friday’s Beethoven bash, under affable Alain Trudel’s baton, sparked several
standing ovations, especially after guest keys-master André Laplante pounded out the Piano Concerto No. 3 on the theatre’s legendary Steinway grand. Three Beethoven works relaxed some folks so much, they shyly admitted to nodding off blissfully. That’s the intended effect during a classical concert that’s not a visual show — aside from watching the players at work. Beethoven symphony concert rating: 10 ivories out of 10.
ifelong learning is the name of the game for the Cherry Point Artists. Members salute their proactively interactive club for helping them make dreams of painting come true — no matter what age they are — during workshops, ¿eld trips and more. Results are displayed during Sunday’s 100 some-piece show and sale at Duncan’s Government Street seniors’ centre. Take two-year member and CPA secretary Janet Burrow, whose landscapes are reminiscent of her native Yorkshire. “The club helped me in lots of ways,” the retired Newcastle barrister said. “I was a new immigrant at age 63; new country, new home, new husband (David), and retirement, and the group was so nice, and very calm and welcoming. They said ‘Just have a go.’” The Bradford native didn’t even put brush to canvas until 2010 in Cowichan. “Once I retired, I always wanted to paint because I wanted to go to (British) art school, but that wasn’t an economic option,” said Burrow, cheering a watercolor workshop with Lake Cowichan master Michaela Davidson. “That was very encouraging. It made me feel there was something in this — it focuses your mind away from anything else; the hassles and worries of life,” said Burrow, 65. “I’ve learned about colour, layout and composition. “The dif¿cult thing is just getting through the door on the ¿rst day. They helped me integrate into the community. They’re not just artists but good colleagues, advisers, and listeners.” Five-year member Lionel Laviolette, 75, was all ears too. “It’s about the fellowship and the encouragement to paint. When I go to the club, I get a few ideas and there are workshops for acrylics

I’m a neophyte; I never painted before.” Then buddy Bob Sullivan handed him an art kit for Christmas. “Two clubs were suggested to me: Maple Bay and Cherry Point,” explained former Honeywell technical-control employee Laviolette, now dialing in watercolours and acrylics. “We have instructors come in all the time and you can avail yourself with them,” Saskatchewan native Ross Fraser, 82, said, hefting his Peggy’s Cove piece.

Consort’s Mass For Peace puts valley in the mood for Remembrance Day

Also on the bill is the premiere of The Earth Chants by Consort conductor Robert Mari with lyrics by Cowichan Bay poet-writer Wendy Robison. Well-known local mezzo-soprano Cari

Making the leap Royal Winnipeg Ballet: South Cowichan teen invited to monthlong audition with one of Canada’s most prestigious ballet companies Peter W. Rusland

F
ootwork, not football, scored dancer Brodie Hargreaves a coveted slot in Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s aspirant program. “My entire family was into football, but I wanted something that makes me happy,” said Hargreaves, 18, a student at Frances Kelsey high, and Steps Ahead Dance School. “It’s amazing the people you meet through dance.” Including inspirational teachers Lorraine Blake, Chantelle Norris, and Connie Cook. “Last year I danced with Connie and she really opened up what dance is all about,” said Hargreaves, who also applauded the Boston Dance Collective of Victoria. Dance doors opened fast for the quick study.
After just 5 1/2 years studying dance, the arts addict was jazzed about his acceptance to the RWB’s summer aspirant program. “For the amount of time I’ve been dancing, it’s pretty rare (RWB aspirant) — in fact, it’s huge. “If they accept me into aspirant, I can go wherever I want. It’s the second-largest dance company in Canada, outside the National Ballet of Canada.” His shot at the RWB happened during Hargreaves’ Oct. 15 audition at Ballet Victoria’s facility in the capital. “The audition, which had two of the company’s faculty watching (Bruce Monk, junior boys’ teacher; and Marla Aronovitch, dean of residence), went smoother than I had anticipated. “For me, the worst part was when they wanted to examine our splits.” But RWB brass weren’t divided
about Hargreaves’ potential. “I go to Winnipeg from June 30 to July 26 to do their summer ballet intensive,” he said. “It’s like a probation period on a new job to see if they like you, and if they’ll keep you. If so, I go into the aspirant program, and that’s where it gets muddy for me.” But it was always clear to Hargreaves why he loves to dance. “It’s that constant release of stress and tension. If you’re having a bad day, you can dance it off.” His heroes include Chaz Buzan (L.A.s’ Millenium Dance studio; Madonna’s cast), Blake McGrath (Coastal Dance Rage), and Bobby Newberry (Pussy Cat Dolls, Britany Spears).
Back in Cowichan, the Grade 12 student also takes dance at Kelsey. “I’m in the dance program that’s student-led, so last year I “For the amount of time I’ve choreographed a group dance with 16, and there’s a few duets been dancing, it’s pretty rare — here and there.

RODGER, Richard “Ericâ€? Eric was born in Quill Lake, Saskatchewan on October 8th, 1929, to Bertha and Harry Rodger, and passed away on October 26, 2012. In 1937 his family moved to Duncan, B.C., and then to Cobble Hill where he received his education. When Eric ďŹ nished school he went to work for the Bamberton Cement Plant. While there he earned certiďŹ cations in blasting, operation of heavy equipment, ďŹ rst aid and rose to the ofďŹ ce of foreman of the Cobble Hill Quarry. In 1977, after 27 years at Bamberton, he decided to go into business for himself, bought a truck and spent the next 22 years as a long haul trucker. He had many interesting experiences and met some very interesting people on the road while seeing a lot of BC and Canada. Eric was a man of the “old schoolâ€?. He could build anything from game boards and furniture to houses, of which, along with his wife Alice, he built two for his family. He could ďŹ x most anything from toasters to trucks, and could drive any type of machinery you put in front of him. But most of all, he was a kind man ready to help in any way he could. It didn’t matter if you were family, a friend or a stranger if you were in need of a helping hand he extended it. Eric loved camping, ďŹ shing and baseball in his younger years, all of which he shared with his family. Annual camping trips were the family’s holiday and many Sunday afternoons hiking into rivers discovered through his afďŹ liation with the Fish and Game Club. Eric was predeceased by his mom and dad, son Keith, grandson Derek and brothers Gordon and Leigh. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Alice, brother Lyell (Hope), children Rhonda (Michael) McLaughlin, Carrie (Rick) Neubauer, Richard (Nellie) Rodger, and many grandchildren and great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the staff at the Ponderosa and the Kamloops Senior Village for the wonderful care during his stay with them, also their kindness to the family during this difďŹ cult time. There will be no funeral by request. A gathering of family and friends to be held later. In lieu of owers please make a donation in Eric’s name to the Heart and Stroke fund, or to research in the ďŹ ght against Alzheimer’s. We will miss you, dad, and we love you.

Cowichan LMG Pringle has been celebrating a lot of goals this season. Riley Taiji. “There’s four injuries, for sure — some of them before the (Prospect Lake) game even started,’’ said Martin. Cowichan’s eighth straight win was a cakewalk Friday at the Ladysmith Turf, 6-0 over Prospect Lake. With all the changes and injuries, it was a great team effort. Connor Crichton, one of the team’s burgeoning young players, was on the Âżeld for the entire 90 minutes. “He got a rookie start and made the best of it,’’ said Martin. Crichton even got into the scoring with his Âżrst of the season. Super sub turned more regular player Kevin Brown and Ryan Andre each added a pair, with Tyler Hughes scoring on a 37-yard rocket. Hughes was smashing the ball around and the Prospect Lake goalkeeper was fortunate to stop another of his howitzers. Cowichan led 2-0 at the half on goals by Andre and Jones at 18 and 22 minutes, respectively. Four more goals after the break put the game away, with Hughes connecting at 55 minutes, Andre at 64 minutes, Jones at 67 minutes and Crichton in the 84th minute.

owichan LMG Pringle is now 8-0 atop Div. 1 of the Vancouver Island Soccer League heading into a huge battle with Saanich Fusion, another undefeated team at 6-0. The clash of the titans will likely take place Saturday night at the Ladysmith Turf. Cowichan, as the host team, must give 96 hours of any game change and, with the possibility of Sherman Road Park’s Bill Keserich Field being closed again for Friday’s regularly-scheduled time slot, coach Glen Martin didn’t want to take any chances that the game would be scrapped until a later date. His team is on a roll now and he wants to get the game in no matter what the weather’s like. Cowichan plays its other main challenger, Bays United Liquor Plus, the following week in its Âżrst road game of the season. “If we can get to 10-0, they’ll have trouble catching us,’’ said Martin of Cowichan’s rivals. Saanich is the last team standing in the way of a perfect sweep through the Âżrst half of the season. “This will be a challenge,’’ said Martin. “Hopefully, we’ll lick our wounds this week.’’ After being injury-free all season, Cowichan suddenly ran into a string of them with various ailments to captain Jesse Winter, Kevan Brown, George Horne and

Larson’s three goals set the pace Senior soccer: Cowichan bound for the island tournament after beating Powell River 5-0 Don Bodger

DCS, led by Josh Klassen (14), celebrates a crucial point against Credo. Below, Doug Groenendijk hammers the ball at the net but meets some resistance from Credo’s Connor Pruim (13) and Zach Vanderploeg (10).
A draw that turned into a loss on penalty kicks and a convincing victory was enough to put the Cowichan Secondary School senior boys’ soccer team into the island playdowns. At the North Island tournament in Nanaimo, Cowichan nished regula-
tion time scoreless against Dover Bay. But Dover took the victory with a 4-3 advantage on penalty kicks. Cowichan took out its frustration on Powell River with a 5-0 win. Andrew Larson led the scoring with a hat trick while Borlang Kamtaye and Rhys Mousley added singles. Kaelan Colbourne returned to his regular spot in net and solidied the
T-Bird back line. “Slight adjustments to Cowichan’s structure have made major improvements to the T-Birds’ performance,’’ noted coach Ron Glass. “This can be attributed to the addition of Darian Achurch to the Cowichan coaching staff.’’ Next games will be at the island nals Nov. 6 and 7, hosted by Stelly’s.

Invitational volleyball: Credo puts an end to tournament streak Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial
uncan Christian School Chargers are capable of playing with the best senior boys’ A volleyball teams in the province. They proved that during their own invitational tournament Friday and Saturday at DCS. Now they just have to put their best performances together at the right times. DCS, ranked fourth in the province, settled for second place in the 10-team event behind champion Credo Christian, the No. 2 team in B.C., after a loss in two sets, 18-25, 22-25 in Saturday’s nal. But DCS beat Credo earlier in the day by a 25-17, 26-24 margin, meaning it’s clearly on par with the elite this season. “They’re good and they’ve played together for quite some time and they’re well-established,’’ DCS coach Peter Day said of Credo. “We’re getting there. I would say consistently we’re playing better. We’re on a schedule to the provincial tournament is what we’re aiming at.’’ The intangibles will ultimately make the difference in the ne line between winning and losing. “The skills are there,’’ said Day. “Right now, we’re working on the mental faculties of overcoming decits.’’ The challenge for DCS is always assembling a strong team with a limited number of students. But the horses are clearly there this year and their talent is proving infectious throughout the lineup. The overall skill required from the group was put to the test in the tournament. “I think our attack was solid and I think our blocking from our front-row guys is absolutely the key to our success,’’ said Day.
Even though DCS lost the nal, Day emphasized the importance attached to the victory over Credo in the earlier game. “It showed on any given day we can beat any single A team in the province,’’ he said. Day pinpointed some areas where the team didn’t perform as well as it could have in the second meeting. “Our service reception wasn’t at the same quality as it was in the rst,’’ he said. “A good team like Credo will capitalize on the service reception errors.’’ The second set of the nal was better, with DCS mounting a huge comeback from seven points down to nish just three shy in the end. DCS placed rst in Pool A during the preliminary round robin after sweeping Highland 25-20, 25-15, Belmont 25-16, 25-22, Ucluelet 25-10, 25-17 and then Credo. Gulf Islands won Pool B, with Abbotsford Secondary second. Chemainus Secondary came fourth. In the playoffs, DCS was victorious over Chemainus 25-11, 25-13 and then won 25-22, 25-21 against Highland before Credo snapped the streak. Credo went to three sets to beat Gulf Islands 25-11, 15-25, 15-11 in the second seminal. Josh Klassen was MVP and Bennett King-Nyberg an all-star for DCS. Credo’s MVP was Josh Vandelft, with Ben Togeretz an all-star selection. Riley Godkin attained all-star status for Chemainus. Day, who assisted Mary Joan Visscher with the girls’ team last season, is enjoying his stint as the DCS boys’ coach. “I really enjoy the challenge of it and watching the guys develop not just as players, but as men as well,’’ Day said. Next on the list is the island A tournament at DCS Nov. 14.

Canada West success is nothing new for Cowichan’s contingent, from left, of Caitlin Evans, Miranda Mann and Katrina Waldron on the UBC women’s eld hockey team.
owichan’s big three remaining at UBC are enjoying continued success. The defending national champion Thunderbirds women’s eld hockey team captured the Canada West title with a perfect slate of eight wins against UVic and Calgary, thanks in no small part to the efforts of fourth-year players Caitlin Evans and Miranda Mann and sophomore sensation Katrina Waldron. “I honestly didn’t think it could have gone any better after last season,’’ said Waldron. UBC won the nationals in snowy Calgary a year ago and was heading into the eye of a storm to Toronto Tuesday for a shot at a repeat this week. Waldron found a comfort level on and off the eld after a great rookie campaign. “It was sweet to be comfortable in school and everything, unlike last year when I got lost a lot,’’ she joked. The UBC team showed great character right from the opening weekend of the season against Calgary. “We actually didn’t have any of our national girls and we still won,’’ said

News Leader Pictorial
t’s been an eventful three-game week for the Kerry Park Islanders that included a coaching change and their rst victory of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season. Former head coach Brad Scafe, a part-owner of the team, went back behind the bench to replace rookie head coach Trent Brandvold and brought Wayne McComb back as an assistant. The rst games since the change brought a pair of close losses and nally an end to a 15-game winless steak with a 7-4 victory over the Peninsula Panthers Saturday night at
TEAMAN DUNC
Kerry Park Arena. The atmosphere after the win, with the Islanders scoring three unanswered goals in the third period, was something to behold. “I’ve won provincial championships, I’ve won tournaments, I’ve won big games,’’ said Scafe. “When you break a slump like that, there was guys with a lot of relief and pure happiness. It was enjoyable to be a part of it.’’ Kyle Peterson scored two big goals to break a 4-4 tie and Connor Krupa added an insurance marker as the Islanders nally erased the goose egg from the win column. “We’ve got the monkey off the back there,’’ said Scafe. “We’ve got some good hockey players there. We just
need structure.’’ Brandvold has gone back to Major Midget to serve as an assistant coach for the South Island Royals. “We’re not trying to throw Trent under the bus by any means,’’ said Scafe. “It gets too many losses. We had to do something. We made some changes with the players and we still weren’t winning so we made the move.’’ The Islanders lost 6-5 to Westshore last Wednesday and 3-1 to Saanich in preceding road games that could have gone either way. The Islanders hope to start a streak in the other direction when they play at Westshore again Thursday. The 150-1 Victoria Cougars are at Kerry Park Arena Saturday night.

T
he Cowichan Valley Capitals may have the fewest points in the B.C. Hockey League at the moment, but there’s no reason to believe that’s going to continue. Based on their play against the Powell River Kings Sunday afternoon at Cowichan Arena, the Caps certainly appear to be a far better team than their 4-10-1 record. “I think we’re going to start to get some more wins,’’ said Caps’ forward Ryan Hanes, who’s put 21 points on the board in 15 games. “Once we start to get some momentum, we’ll be good to go.’’ The Caps’ young players seem to be turning the corner after 15 games. The defencemen showed poise against Powell River and moved the puck well from their own zone. “I think we’re starting to see it now, for sure,’’ said Hanes of the development of the young players. “They’re working really hard at it.’’ The Caps’ penalty-killing units were exceptional in the game. Mikael Jung was particularly effective, blocking shots and generally keeping the Powell River power play on the run. As a result, the Kings only converted one chance out of seven. The Caps knew they had to jump on Powell River after a disappointing 6-5 loss in Nanaimo Friday. The Kings were coming off a 3-2 setback in Nanaimo Saturday. “We knew they played (Saturday)

The Caps beat Powell River 4-2 for their fourth win of the season. night and we had the night off,’’ said Hanes. “The start was huge for us.’’ The Caps jumped into a 2-0 lead on goals by Matt Grant and Troy Paterson in the ¿rst 6 1/2 minutes. Jaret Smith cut the de¿cit in half with a power-play marker before the end of the ¿rst period. The Caps regained the two-goal lead on Kyle Horsman’s ¿rst goal of the season in the second period. Teal Burns scored a huge insurance marker early in the third, especially after Jarryd Leung countered for Powell River less than two minutes later. But stellar work by goalie Derek Dun, who ¿nished with 32 saves, helped preserve the Caps’ two-goal margin. He was particularly tested when the Caps’ Dane Gibson was assessed a double minor for highsticking midway through the third.
Youth Athlete of the Week
Hanes sported pink tape on his socks and wrists, and some of the other players used the tape on their sticks in support of women’s cancers. “It’s a good cause so I support it,’’ said Hanes. He’s enjoying the different role on the Caps as an offensive player compared to his Western Hockey League days in Kamloops. “It’s going really good, except for the winning part,’’ Hanes said. He doesn’t put any added pressure on himself because of his experience. “It doesn’t really affect me much,’’ Hanes said. “I’m just trying to help out the young guys.’’ In Nanaimo, the Caps were tied 5-5 with the Clippers when Brenden Forbes scored the winning goal with nine seconds left. Steen Cooper, Hanes, Grant, Jamie Waddington and Tyler Mueller tallied for the Caps.
Courtney Vanderstap Duncan Skating Club members like Courtney Vanderstap not only love to skate themselves, they’re lending a helping hand to the younger skaters. Vanderstap, 15, a Grade 10 Cowichan Secondary student, started in the Canskate program at age eight and is now competing in Junior Bronze. She’s been a program assistant for five years. “She’s volunteering her time for the club twice a week,’’ said Duncan Skating Club coach Lorraine Francisty. “They help our program run. Courtney’s a great role model, she does what she’s told to do and she sets up creative circuits for the kids.’’ “It’s a lot of fun,’’ said Vanderstap of helping the kids, especially in the changeover to a new Canskate system. “It took a few practices to get us used to it, but it’s really good,’’ she said. Vanderstap’s own skating included a lead role as Lightning McQueen in the club’s production of A Magical Kingdom On Ice.
