Accident claims entrepreneur and political activist

Equipment failure dumps sewage into the Cowichan Problem ﬁxed: VIHA says public not at risk from spill

Scott Baker: Dies following workplace accident on Chemainus property Peter W. Rusland

sewage spill into the Cowichan River last week is under control, city brass says after water samples were analyzed and malfunctioning equipment replaced. “With the information available, the Vancouver Island Health Authority does not believe there is any public health risk based on results of the river water sampling that has been conducted,” Duncan CAO Peter deVerteuil said in Friday’s press release. “On Tuesday (Sept. 3) at 3 p.m. a local resident reported witnessing sewage entering the Cowichan River from a storm water pipe between the Silver Bridge and the Black Railway Bridge. “It is estimated approximately 200 to 260 litres per hour could have been discharged, but it is difficult to know how long this had been occurring before it was noticed,” he says. The city crew was immediately sent to investigate. They found a compressor malfunction at the city’s Cowichan Way sewage pump station. more on page 26 Home Of The

hemainus businessman, valley political candidate, and tax watchdog Scott Baker died Sunday following an accident at his home, a B.C. Coroner’s spokeswoman says. He was 47. “It appeared to be an accidental event on his acreage in Chemainus,” Barbara McLintock said of the incident that happened Saturday. “We’re not sure if it was a fall. “He was found seriously injured, and was airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital, and died in hospital.” McLintock declined to confirm reports Baker died of head injuries. Already well-known in the Chemainus business community, Baker Scott Baker: rose to valley-wide prominence straight talker during his failed bid to become North Cowichan’s mayor during B.C.’s November 2011 civic election. The RCMP referred calls about the death to WorkSafeBC. Spokeswoman Megan Johnston confirmed the agency is investigating “a work-related fatality” at 3137 Henry Road, Chemainus, but declined to identify the victim as Baker. She said she believed agents visited the accident site on the weekend. “A worker was attempting to move a man lift (elevated work platform) off a flatbed truck. It appears the worker may have been struck by the mobile equipment.” Mike Hayhoe said he got to know Baker in the past two years after meeting him regarding a rally protesting a Chemainus recycling operation that emitted a strong septic stench. “I came to know Scott as a close personal friend I admired greatly,” he said. “Scott was a brilliant entrepreneur, and the valley will never know how many people he quietly helped.” Straight-talking Baker also had a great sense of humour, Hayhoe added. “He was a really good father and husband, and treated his employees very well. All you had to do to get treated royally by Scott was not steal from him.” more on page 3

Fundraiser scheduled as brain surgery looms for Duncan girl

Wednesday, September 11, 2013

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 3

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex: causes daily seizures Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

young girl’s battle with tuberous sclerosis complex has family and friends rallying to organize a fundraising garage sale and to spread awareness about the disease. Kenzie Lynn Hamilton is just 2 1/2 years old and was diagnosed with TSC in 2011 at the age of six months. She’s currently on three different medications, experiences multiple seizures daily and is scheduled to have brain surgery Sept. 27 at B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. TSC is a genetic disorder that causes benign tumors to grow in all the organs in the body. Its affect on the central nervous system causes seizures and other developmental conditions such as autism or behavioural problems. Common occurrences such as aggression and raging outbursts cause all sorts of challenges for parents. There are obviously considerable costs for parents Dusty and Tracy (nee Wiersma) Hamilton to get

Baker was in early stages of planning for next election from page 1

It was his frustration with the way he felt local government was robbing local taxpayers that sparked his run for office. Baker was planning tactics toward the fall 2014 civic election when he died, Hayhoe explained, noting his friend’s disdain for what Baker bluntly described as wasted taxpayer dollars at North Cowichan municipal hall. “We were just about to start the election (dialogue) now,” Hayhoe said. Word about funeral services was unavailable by press time Tuesday.

treatment and care for Kenzie and that’s when the idea of the fundraising garage sale materialized. It will take place Saturday, Sept. 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 5861 Jaynes Road in Duncan. Kenzie literally needs one-on-one care, said her grandmother Wendy Tague. “The family needs respite care as well as her medication is a lot of money per month,’’ she said. “We don’t have all kinds of money to spend.’’ People have been most supportive of donating items and all sorts of things will be available at the garage sale, with proceeds going to the family. There are enough items for the sale, it’s just a matter of getting some patrons to come out and make purchases that will provide a big financial and morale boost. “She’s going to have this for life,’’ said Tague. “It does not go away. “We’re getting a lot of support from all family members — everybody. We love her. I would say she’s my little kindred spirit, that girl. She has everybody behind her. We stand united.’’ Mom Tracy Hamilton noted people are often not diagnosed with TSC until the onset of seizures or until they have children with a more severe case.

Kenzie Lynn Hamilton has been diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex. “I largely attribute her early diagnosis to our family doctor,’’ she pointed out. “She did not know what Kenzie’s white spots were and, although she didn’t think they were concerning, she gave us a referral to a dermatologist anyway.

did not suspect anything serious, but suggested going to Children’s Hospital just to be sure of what it actually was. It was there that we were shocked with Kenzie’s diagnosis.’’ Hamilton added tuberous sclerosis is not well-known, but it’s more common than cystic fibrosis or Lou Gehrig’s disease and — as in Kenzie’s case — up to 70% of cases are the result of random mutations and can be inherited from either parent with the condition. Hamilton noted she hopes Kenzie’s journey will help raise awareness about the disease. Kenzie is receiving her first-ever haircut before her surgery and those long locks will be donated to cancer for the making of wigs. Surgery is obviously worrisome for the Hamiltons, but they know it’s Kenzie’s best option at this point. “Surgery done earlier is known to have better outcomes,’’ Hamilton reasoned. “Kenzie still has few words, and has regressed in her speech since last year. She has also been having raging outbursts and aggression. “Our daughter may never be a normal child but we love her so much and don’t strive for her to be normal. We just want her to be happy. Hopefully, surgery makes that difference for her.’’

Annual Crofton fundraiser wants to raise itself out of the muck

SPOTLIGHT An Ex-citing weekend Jello Wrestling anyone? Crofton’s Gerry Hurst said a switch to Jello from mud is being considered for a charity event held in mid-July each year. The reason? Well, mud is just too muddy and gritty so it’s getting harder to attract wrestlers to participate. “The mud thing with their eyes, they don’t like

it,’’ said Hurst. “If we can ﬁnd a sponsor to buy the Jello, we’ll go to jello instead of mud.’’ Brass Bell Pub owner Jill Mahal and employee Gina Brooks helped the cause by tangling in the mud pit for the main bout during the latest event in front of the Crofton establishment. Hurst, an innocent bystander, even got all muddied up,

he said. Proceeds of about $1,600 went to support the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation and Chemainus Health Care Centre. Donna May Hegglund started the mud wrestling event three years ago as a tribute to her father after he died of cancer.

Backyard sighting raises fear of wolves Further reports welcome: Conservation service says wild dogs more likely

Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

t’s not very often wolves are spotted in folk’s backyards in Cowichan. It’s hardly common to spot them at all. But for Duncan’s Julia Henry, she may be one of few Cowichanians who’s seen them up close. “It was quite late. I was having a sleepover with my nieces and nephews over and we heard howling quite aways away,” Henry said of the Aug. 30 incident from the house she stays at with her dad on Khenipsen Road. “It didn’t sound like a dog,” she said. “And then we heard something get at the garbage.” One of the children staying at Henry’s place said they saw something black crouching outside. “We went to the front of the house, and my car was parked right in front... and they saw something move behind the vehicle. We were peeking out the front windows... and then the kids ran up-stairs, they started screaming, they said it was a wolf.”

Sightings of the Vancouver Island Wolf are rare. Although Henry was skeptical at first, thinking it was more likely stray dogs, she went upstairs to see for herself out the same window. “They were all standing there, staring at the front door,” Henry said, noting four animals that looked like wolves all about a metre tall. “It’s rare.” B.C. Conservation Sgt. Scott Norris agreed. “Given the location, I don’t know for sure if it’s a pack,” Norris said. “We’ve had no other sightings of a pack in the area.” Norris noted there are many wolf-dog hybrids and Henry’s visitors may just fall into that category, or there’s the possibility

they’re wild dogs. But he couldn’t say for sure as he hasn’t seen the canines Henry’s referring to himself or any photos. “There are wolves in the Cowichan Valley, not too far outside of Duncan,” Norris said. “There are definitely wolves as you start heading Lake Cowichan way and we’ve had sightings in Mill Bay as well,” he said. Most sightings are of the typical coastal wolves, that swim, eat salmon, live on marine resources and are grey with hints of white and sometimes a rusty kind of colour around their noses. The pack Henry saw were all different colours,

“There was a black one, white one, and a couple grey, which isn’t very typical for wolves,” Norris said. “But there are always variations.” Although Norris was reluctant to say Henry’s visitors were wolves, nevertheless he did advise her to buy some bear spray to keep on hand, as well as to keep any attractants like meat or any garbage for that matter away. Henry’s Friday night intruders lingered on for about 2 1/2 hours before they left “I’m just in disbelief,” she said. “I’ve only seen them on TV.” “I stayed up all night. I was quite concerned,” she said, noting her father, who was sleeping when they arrived, often wakes up at 5:30 a.m. and sits outside in the mornings. Henry said her sister also spotted a similar type of dog a few days before in the Miller Road area of Duncan. Anyone with a similar sightings is urged to report it to 1-877-952-7277 (RAPP) or by calling Coastal Animal Services at 250-748-3395.

Past time B.C. grew up on the issue of alcohol

Liquor control: Why exactly does anyone need a license to have a beer anywhere?

t’s a weird society we live in when grown men are able to buy beer to consume in a changeroom after a hockey game, but they aren’t able to bring their own in their duffel bag. Public education and government have done a wonderful job in some areas creating sensible attitudes about alcohol consumption. It’s about time we brought some of that same clear thinking to the odd labyrinth of rules surrounding the same. We let people drink alcohol in all kinds of public halls, restaurants and Issue is not patios. But they aren’t allowed to do the same in public parks. alcohol,but We don’t let teens purchase alcohol. overindulBut we turn a blind eye to the adults purchasing it for them. gence We refuse ourselves the convenient option of picking up a bottle at our regular grocery store. Instead, we force each other to walk across the parking lot to make exactly the same purchase. It’s silly. There is a reason they call it beer league hockey. After putting their teeth and groins at risk for two hours late on a Tuesday evening, many respectable taxpayers like a cold brew in the camaraderie of the team before heading home to bed. They aren’t doing it to get wound up, they are doing it to unwind. They’ve been doing it for years with little to no problems caused. And they shouldn’t have to do it with a bureaucrat hanging over their shoulder. Clearly, this is not a big deal. The world is not going to change just because we require some place — any place — to be licensed to serve alcohol. It just seems strange that even when people are clearly behaving like adults, we have to treat them like children.

We say:

The good and the bad of this week in Cowichan This we don’t

Sure, it can be hard to tell one edition from the next, but the Cowichan Exhibition didn’t get to be 145 years old without learning a thing or two about doing things right. And it was doing it right once again this weekend, with all the creativity, agriculture and fun anyone could ever ask for in a community fair. Congratulations to the organizers and the exhibitors for another great show.

The Cowichan Exhibition remains alive and well.

Old-fashioned letter to the editor had the right idea Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

couple weeks ago I was telling the editor I was disappointed in the lack of reaction, response, letters, and/or comments to our website on my column, particularly last month’s since the topic was a tad more controversial. I may have spoken too soon. “Knee-jerk reacIt’s apparent folks tions on social are reading my columns from a recent media aren’t cutFacebook thread I ting it.” stumbled on that saw some moms stating they weren’t fans (not quite in those words) of my columns. OK. So there’s the reaction I was looking

Degraaf

for right? Not quite. As much as I’d love everyone to enjoy my columns, that’s not the only reason I write them. They are also meant to be disagreed with, disputed, but, most of all, talked about. Knee-jerk reactions on social media aren’t cutting it. On forums like Facebook, it’s way too easy for folks to type what comes off the top of their heads and hit send. Have you ever posted something to notice much later you misspelled five of the 10 words you used? Or the question mark that was supposed to be an exclamation, thus completely changing the tone? Maybe everyone didn’t really need to know your child had the worst diarrhea and you feel a tad silly afterward for even having posted that. When days are spent diaper-slinging and trapped at home cleaning up smatterings

It’s no secret the Great Lake Walk has been dwindling in recent years in terms of participation. But in terms of community support and spirit it remained one of the highlights of the local event calendar.

of messes, most moms need an outlet. The same is true of all types of busy people in all walks of life. So when they get a small break, they go searching the web for socialization. But as much as social networks like Facebook give us snippets of what’s happening in the outside world, they can also be a dark place where words take off like runaway trains. That’s why I wholeheartedly support approaching every single post published online the same way you’d approach a letter to the editor. Try to make it something that would be appropriate if your boss, professor, or priest was to stumble across it. Heck, I’d love for readers to revert back to the old days and actually send letters to the editor in response to my columns. Responses should be carefully thought out

and written and maybe even proofread. The issues should be clear. These types of letters may even spark more letter writers and their opinions and some adult-like conversations. Lo and behold, it may even open your eyes (and mine too) to something you (we) never thought about before. Please feel free to get in touch with me directly. I’d love to hear your thoughts. That’s why I’m now including my email at the bottom of this column, if you’d prefer to send me a message there.

Should Victoria have delivered its promised November byelection for a new school board? “There should have been a local byelection for local input after all our recent school closures. They promised us a local byelection; they should give it to us.”

Doug Tuttle, Shawnigan Lake

“If the parents want a byelection, it should be up to them; they’re the taxpayers. Politicians are supposed to work for us.”

The government has plans for your kids

This back to school, cherish the growth of your little ones

Dear editor Recent social media sites brought a multitude of posts from parents lamenting the loss of their “baby,” or wishing time would stop. I too look back at my children and remember their first smiles and first steps. But amongst these memories I also am rejoicing in the wonderful young people they are becoming. Every day brings something new, some thrilling discovery, some unexpected delight. I’ve watched them grow and learn, and range further and further from mom. And I smile. Being a part of this evolution is amazing and humbling. So, on these first days of school, I may weep but they are not tears of sadness at the loss of my “past” children. They are tears of pride, tears of joy, tears of success for my “now” children. Amber Marsh

Festivities take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the hatchery, located at 1080 Wharncliffe Road. There will be guided tours of the hatchery plus trout spawning and fish dissection demonstrations by staff. “It’s the first time we’ve had an

open house here in years,’’ said manager Brian Martin. “We thought we’d open it up and let the people see what we do.’’ It’s the 10th anniversary of the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C., formed in 2003 as a private, non-profit organization funded mainly through freshwater fishing license revenues. The Society works in conjunction with provincial fisheries managers in fish stocking programs that support half of all fishing in B.C. lakes. Martin said the open house will give people a glimpse into “where the fish are reared that get stocked into their local lakes.’’ A fishing pond will be set up, he added, “for kids to try and catch a fish. They always love that.’’ Stocking takes place during two major intervals in the spring and fall. The next one is coming up

Reviewing life changes key to offsetting risks

Have you looked at your personal insurance lately? It is a good idea to do so. Life changes, and so do the requirements to protect you and your family. Ask yourself two important questions: 1) Do I know whether I have enough coverage; and 2) Do I even know what kind of coverage I have? If you answered no to either question, do you and your family a big service and sit down with an advisor. This is not about buying product; this is about reviewing risk. Many have enough coverage and often the right kind. However, until you review your present and developing circumstances it can be difficult to know for certain. Your advisor can help you calculate how much coverage is needed by doing such things as totalling up mortgages, loans, credit card balances and final ex-

penses. In the case of young families, add in the cost of education for children as they grow and the average cost of childcare. It is also important to determine what percentage of income your spouse may need in order to run the household until your children are grown. Then determine either what type of insurance is best to address these circumstances, or whether your current plan/s do an adequate job already. You likely have some insurance through work, or that little policy Mom, Dad, Grandma or Grandpa purchased for you when you were young. Doesn't that take care of things? Not always. Those little policies may not have enough cash value in them to cover all the costs required, and Group Life Insurance is only there until you leave the company. If you change jobs, there is usually a 3

to 6-month waiting period before the new group coverage takes effect and, in case of retirement, some end and others may be converted to private insurance, often at a very high cost, which for some is out of their budget reach. Also, in some cases, group insurance may not be enough. Group Life Insur-

ance is just part of your plan for protection, not the entire protection plan. There are many scenarios that merit consideration. Do you need term insurance or permanent insurance (how long will the associated risks exist)? Should there be growth aspects built into the insurance? These steps are very important since insurance costs need to fit into the family budget, and – because of how different types of insurance work – how effectively they serve you, based on what each insurance product is designed to do. Sometimes the best solution for a family is a combination of insurance types. Family A will often have far different needs than Family B. Okay. Your insurance coverage is determined, the application process is complete and adequate coverage is in place...whew! But wait.....

you're still not quite done. It is important that your plan be reviewed on an annual basis with your advisor. Why? Life changes – debts are paid down, children grow and leave home, or in the case of young families, children come into the home. A good advisor will want to review changes and adjust the insurance accordingly. Also, as income increases and debt decreases you may want to add some other types of insurance such as critical illness or long-term care insurance to protect you and your family, along with the money you have saved for your retirement.

When the Barn Swallows return to Cowichan Bay Shannon Wilson: Local designer multi-tasks and upcycles

Eliza Faulkner

News Leader Pictorial

hannon Wilson is a self-taught designer based in Cowichan Bay. While also dabbling in home-styling, food writing and organic growing, Shannon also has her own clothing label called Barn Swallows, making sustainable up-cycled clothing and accessories. Shannon is also the organiser of Drift – a winter artisan market that takes place each year in December showcasing local designers’ unique wares. We caught up with this multi-tasking designer to see what inspires her and to learn more about up-cycling and responsible fashion. When did you fall in love with fashion and design? When I was a child I used to peek through my grandmother’s sewing chest while visiting her. All the tiny buttons and clasps, brightly coloured thread and fancy bindings fascinated me. I began making things under her guidance. I remember taking sewing in home economics in high school and making awful tops that looked like nurs-

ing scrubs and thought “there has to be more to it than this!” So my best friend and I dreamt up an interior-decorating scheme. What fabrics do you use and where do you find the old sweaters that you upcycle? I often find sweaters at thrift shops but I also have friends who will gift me their unwanted previously loved garments. Recently a woman whom I met at a show sent me a huge package of vintage linens and buttons from Saskatchewan. Sometimes friends will pass along vintage wool blankets or cashmere and merino sweaters that are slightly damaged. I carefully launder and recondition the fabric and then cut it apart to see what I’ve got to work with. I make everything myself, and design each piece according to how it speaks to me. Why is up-cycling important? The fashion industry is flooded with product that is piling up in shops, both new and used. Just because a garment is worn or slightly damaged does not warrant it being discarded. So much can be done to revive or restore a piece of clothing and create something completely new. more on page 19

gal can get cosy working in the sweet confines of Duncan. But when told to venture out to Lake Cowichan to check out Scarlett’s Boutique, I knew it would be worth the excursion. Located on Lake Cowichan’s main drag, Southshore Road, close to Jake’s on the Lake, Scarlett Feltrin’s boutique is a treasure trove of second-hand clothes, rustic finds, and some fabulous vintage pieces too. Not only are the Lake Cowichan locals fans of the shop but on my visit, there were ladies all the way from Sooke checking out old furniture and perusing through the shop. Feltrin was born and raised in Victoria, B.C. and moved to Lake Cowichan two years ago. After spending time looking for work, she decided to start her own business a year ago. Having grown up with a mother who had a second-hand children’s shop, Feltrin was well prepared for how to run her business.

Scarlett Feltrin is the owner/operator of Scarlett’s Boutique. Unlike some consignment shops, Feltrin will buy old clothes and furnishings on the spot. Feltrin also has a ‘Finds’ list in which you can leave a message asking what you are looking for and she will do the looking for you. Not only a business woman and new mom, but Feltrin is also a designer in her own right, creating funky handbags and whimsical jewellery using second-hand leather

Quality garment from factory clothes What is the price range? Sweaters range from $75 to $150, dresses from $80 to $180, and bags from $30 to $250. My vintage leather goods and shoes range from $10 and up. What aspirations do you have for your business? I hope to have my line represented in some big cities one day soon. New York, London, Los Angles, Portland—that would an achievement I would be ecstatic about. I am (also) working on a line of vintage remade home goods and modern industrialstyle furniture. I will be launching this project on Sept. 27 at The Victoria Vintage Expo at the Crystal Gardens. To learn more about Shannon Wilson and her label, Barn Swallows be sure to check out her Facebook page – www.facebook.com/BarnSwallowsApparel and keep an eye out for her upcoming website barnswallows.ca

from page 13

The Barn Swallows line features items like the Silk Sleeve Pullover.

Devon Gillott

I can turn a factory-made sweater into a highquality garment by means of construction and attention to detail. What are some of the products that you sell? Presently, my line is focused on sweaters, dresses and bags, but it is always changing. I have added a line of gently used vintage leather goods and shoes, which is a nice complement to the modern vintage style of Barn Swallows originals. Do you have any favourite pieces for fall? One of my favourite pieces for the fall is called the Silk Sleeve Pullover. The body of the sweater is made from a pre-loved knit fabric, and the elbow length sleeves are made from silk and have the most gorgeous drape. These pieces are embellished with silk, leather, lace or mother of pearl buttons.

See the Moody truth of this Wailin’ Jenny

ARTISTS

Cowichan roots fans know Ruth Moody for her role with the Wailin’ Jennies. They’ll see the rest of her Thursday. Fresh off a U.K. tour opening for Mark Knopﬂer that included six sold-out nights at Royal Albert Hall, Moody is making a brief, ﬁve-stop B.C. tour promoting her album

These Wilder Things. The Duncan Garage Showroom is her second stop. “These Wilder Things displays the varied talents of Ruth Moody beyond the conﬁnes of The Wailin’ Jennys. She is a gifted songwriter and singer adept at many different styles,” Sing Out! writes.

“It’s been a very intense time. I released my ﬁrst record while touring with the Jennys, then hit the road with my own band, and haven’t really stopped,” Moody said. Tickets for the Sept. 12 show are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Call 250-7487246.

Coming-of-age road story fueled by events in author’s life Big Book Sale: Guest author will share his debut novel during weekend charity event Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

ob Battistuzzi’s unfinished book bugged him. He’d stashed shreds of the read he’d started years before in a corner. Then a writing course prodded the Cobble Hill author to dust off the cobwebs and finish the work that became his semi-autobiographical work The Boys From North Dakota. “It’s fiction based on some facts,” the retired insurance employee said of his 1960s’ road story involving four young guys. “An old-fashioned father that’s strict, and his son, is the theme where conflict begins then concludes at the end.” Battistuzzi’s among several guest authors signing books at the News Leader Pictorial’s Big Book Sale benefit Sept. 14 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. beside The Brick. He admitted to taking some creative “liberties,” mixed with events from his own life, to weave his first book. “It’s based on real things that

happened in my life. I put them into the story, along with something that happened to someone else.” ‘It was prom night for the class of ‘65 in Wattinger, North Dakota,’ reads the native Winnipegger’s plot on the book’s flip side. ‘In just a few days the Road Demons, made up of Gerry, Randy, Art, and Bobby (Battistuzzi’s real friends) would be heading for the West Coast to make big money as lumberjacks, and leave a trail of broken hearts. ‘This would be their last trip together before working toward their careers, perhaps moving to different cities. However, for Bobby, this trip is not a certainty. ‘He was the only one saving money for college, and his strict father did not approve of the trip, especially with friends whom he had felt were wasting their lives, spending too much money on their cars. ‘Bobby was faced with the dilemma of trying to please his father, whose old-fashioned ideals were in conflict with the American way of life, or going on this last trip with his friends.’

Authors and more at big book sale You get your favourite authors in hardcover, intriguing new finds in paperback and a chance to speak to top local talent in person. But this weekend’s annual News Leader Pictorial charity book sale is about more than just the books. In addition to Battistuzzi, book signings will be conducted by Suzi Davis and Dean Griffiths. There will be a bouncy castle, a barbecue put on by Original Joe’s and live music. And, of course there will be used book by the shelfload. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 14 outside the News Leader Pictorial office and at the former NAPA Auto Parts location off the highway just south of the silver bridge. Soft cover books will cost $1 and hard covers $2. Proceeds go to Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association. The event has raised more than $17,000 in three years.

She was a wonderful mother and wife, an accomplished homemaker, and a warm and gracious hostess. In addition, Kathleen was a highly successful businesswoman, managing Getzâ€™s Ladies Wear and working with John in Petters and Getz Contracting. Kathleen had a profound faith which animated every aspect of her life and informed her renowned kindness. Kathleen was, above all, a person of character, wisdom and compassion who will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

LITTLE, Robert (Robbie) Gordon April 1, 1949 â€“ September 4, 2013 It is with love and deepest sadness that the family of Rob Little wishes to announce his passing. Rob passed away peacefully on September 4, 2013, surrounded by his loved ones following a brief and brave two-month battle with cancer. During his battle and even through terrible pain Robâ€™s wonderful sense of humour and inner strength did not waiver. His cheerful nature shone through as he enjoyed his visits with family and friends. Rob is predeceased by his parents, Gordon and Ruth Little (nee Murphy). He is survived by his loving wife of 17 years, Teresa, his children Ryan Little and Jennifer McAllister, mother of his children Barb Hilborn (Howard), sister Donalea Baldwin (Ron), nieces Shanon Baldwin and Renee Farquhar (Bruce), stepdaughters Maria Haagerup (Rene) and Maxine Scott (Steve) and 7 wonderful grandchildren. Rob was born in Vancouver and moved to Crofton when he was 15, making it his lifelong home. He started working at the Crofton Mill in 1975 where he met many of his closest friends. Rob lived life to the fullest enjoying baseball, boating, traveling, dancing and his favourite pastime, riding his many motor bikes. Rob was always the life of the party, enjoying them right until final call. He had a mathematical mind, playing a mean game of cards and always winning at Scrabble. Rob will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. From Crofton to Mexico (his favourite place) to England and the US, Rob touched the lives of all who had the pleasure of knowing and loving this warm, wonderful, gentle, fun and loving man. We wish to thank Dr. Manny Fritsch for his compassion and care during his difficult struggle, and all the wonderful nurses at CDH and CHCC who brought him comfort and relief. A special thanks to this niece Renee who nursed him through out, her love for him was a shining light. Thank you all for being so kind and loving. The family will receive friends and family for a celebration of Robâ€™s life on Sunday, September 15th from 2 â€“ 5 pm at 7588 Babine Place, Crofton. Rob, although you have parted from us, know that you will never be far from our thoughts and forever in our hearts.

Warning sign posted on downstream beach as a precautionary measure

from page 1

The works crew immediately restarted the compressor and started drawing down the sewage level in the pump station. â€œBy 4 p.m. the sewer water level was at a level below the sewer overflow pipe invert and the situation was under control.â€? The visual warning device on the top of the pump station was found to be malfunctioning. This warning device identifies when the pump station has reached the high-water mark which is normally long before any crucial level. City staff was unaware of any similar incidents in the past. Last Wednesday morning saw crews collect three water samples

â€” one upstream, one downstream, and one at the river outfall to be tested for fecal, coliform and e coli. â€œThe crew did not find any remnants of sewer debris in the surrounding area or shoreline, that morning (Sept. 4),â€? he says. The Provincial Emergency Program (PEP), Ministry of Environment, and Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) were all informed of the incident. On Friday morning, crews plugged the overflow pipe to prevent such incidents from happening again. Crews have also been directed to monitor the pump station daily, and the city is working to connect the station to its newly-activated SCADA system.

owichan LMG Pringle opened the Div. 1 Island Soccer League season with a solid 4-0 victory over the Lakehill Reds Friday night at Duncanâ€™s Bill Keserich Field at Sherman Road Park. The Reds made the Jackson Cup final last season and gained promotion from Div. 2 but were no match for Cowichan. Still, â€œthey were like we thought they were, young and fast and they worked hard,â€™â€™ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin. After a bit of a slow start, Cowichan got on the scoreboard at 28 minutes when Connor Crichton converted a rebound. A goal on a header by Brad Thorne five minutes into the second half put Cowichan in control. Thorne added another after the ball went off his body and into the net and newcomer Steve Scott, formerly of Sooke, made his debut a successful one by coming in as a substitute and scoring the final goal. The outpouring of goals was a rarity

for Cowichan last season. The team quite often relied on just enough offense to get the job done, but a stingy defence was its strength. Goalkeeper Joel Wilson picked up right where he left off with another shutout. â€œOverall, it was good for opening night,â€™â€™ said Martin. â€œWe played pretty good. We can definitely play better.â€™â€™ The return of veterans Thorne and Darcy Kulai, who played nearly the full 90 minutes, definitely provided Cowichan with a much-needed injection of depth from last season. Cowichan has a couple of tough games coming up, playing Saturday in Nanaimo and the following Saturday at home against Bays United Liquor Plus. â€œI think weâ€™ll have to be a little more intense when we start our next game against Nanaimo,â€™â€™ said Martin. Cowichan United of Div. 2 didnâ€™t start nearly as well in its season-opener, losing 3-0 to Comox at Evans Park Sunday. Cowichan went down a man before the half, but actually picked it up a bit after that to prevent the game from being a complete runaway.

Early losses don’t sit well with more experienced Islanders

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

he Kerry Park Islanders are making a fresh start with a more experienced team in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. “This year, the expectations are a lot higher, too,’’ said goaltender Jackson Jane, one of six 20-year-olds on the team in their final season of junior eligibility.

As a result, the Islanders aren’t happy about starting the season 0-3. After dropping the opener to Westshore 7-4 last Wednesday, the Islanders were also beaten 6-1 at Peninsula by the Panthers Friday and 6-4 by the Saanich Braves in their home-opener Saturday. The Islanders went winless in 15 straight games last season before finally winning. They want to get that first one out of the way much earlier this time. “I think we should get untracked sooner

than that this year,’’ said Jane. “Not a great start, but I don’t think the scores were all that indicative of how we played.’’ The home game against the Braves, in particular, was a decent showing with the Islanders holding a 55-46 advantage in shots-on-goal. “The last two periods we definitely showed some signs of some pretty good hockey,’’ said Jane. “Our offense is definitely firing better already than it was at any time last year.’’

The Islanders have Matt Grant in their lineup this season with his Junior A experience and a big defenceman in Tyler Fraser, who’s only 16 but highly-touted as a development player for the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League. Grant had the lone goal at Peninsula. Kyle Green netted a pair while Corey Peterson and Tylor Branzsen added singles against Saanich. The Islanders are at Campbell River Friday and host Westshore Saturday.

e’s an offensive player. No, he’s a defensive player. No, he’s both. Drayson Price continues to show his versatility on the football field and it’s been paying off with some plum positions. Price, who turns 17 Oct. 21, played defence for the Cowichan Midget Bulldogs last season. This season, he’s back on the offense. But in the selections for the Team B.C. U18s, Price is playing defensive back. He’s among the 56 players attending a Football B.C. mini-camp in December to determine the final 36-man roster to go to Texas next January for the FBU International Games. Price takes his constant position changes all in stride.

Don Bodger

Drayson Price is comfortable playing whatever position is necessary on the offense or defence in different situations.

rivia fans will need to remember the honour of scoring the Cowichan Valley Capitals’ first goal of the 201314 B.C. Hockey League regular season belongs to Colton Kehler. It came during the last two minutes of the first period in the seasonopener at the Showcase tournament in Chilliwack Friday, a game the Caps went on to win 4-3 over the Prince George Spruce Kings. A 6-2 loss to the Trail Smoke Eaters followed Sunday for the Caps in the second game of the opening weekend. The split was OK with Caps’ head coach Bob Beatty. None of the league’s 16 teams are obviously going to be operating at peak efficiency right off the bat so there were plenty of positive signs and many moments that weren’t that great, as expected. “All teams are in the same dilemma,’’ said

Defensive wall is put up by the Prince George Spruce Kings’ tandem of Danny Kiraly and Mitch Eden during a Cowichan Valley Capitals’ foray into the offensive end by Brayden Gelsinger, backed up by Colton Kehler. The Caps split their opening two games of the B.C. Hockey League season in Chilliwack.

we can come from behind and win,’’ said Beatty. Of course, it wasn’t ideal the Caps found themselves in that position. But they mounted the comeback with more inspired play during the last five minutes of the second period that carried over into the third. It took some stellar goaltending by veteran Robin Gusse to give the Caps an opportunity to win. “They had some real good scoring chances early in the game,’’ said Beatty. The Trail game brought a fast start for the Caps on a goal by Gelsinger at the 19-second mark, but the Smoke Eaters came It feels good to be a back to take a 2-1 lead Peninsula Co-op after the first period. member.

The Caps are carrying 22 players with two on injured reserve at the moment. After Kehler scored in the Prince George game,

the Caps fell behind 3-1 before mounting a late comeback.

he defence set the table in the first half and the offense cleaned up during the second half for the Cowichan Bulldogs. The combination proved too much for the defending Vancouver Mainland Football League Midget division champs, as the ‘Dogs laid a 37-7 beating on the Coquitlam Falcons Sunday at McAdam Park. Despite the lopsided score, the Bulldogs’ attack got derailed at times by penalties and some sloppy ball handling. Otherwise, it would have been an enormous runaway, as the Falcons didn’t have an answer for almost everything the Bulldogs threw at them. “We’ve won two games. We’ve got a long way to go,’’ Cowichan head coach Doug (Opie) Williams told the players after the game. “We were better than last week. That’s all I can ask. We’ve got to keep getting better and better.’’ The Falcons were only a semblance of the team that dominated the league last season. Twenty of their 32 players last year were 18-year-olds. That left only 12 returnees, about half the number of players on the 23-man roster that made the trip to Duncan. It looked like it might be a rout early, with the Bulldogs methodically marching the

That’s one giant leap for the Cowichan Bulldogs, as Cory Lewis picks off a pass in front of intended Coquitlam receiver Liam Stewart, right. Swarming Coquitlam defence puts a stop, above, to the Bulldogs’ Kain Melchior. ball downfield on the opening drive for three first downs and completing it on a short pass from quarterback Erik Kenner to Darren Aitchison for a touchdown. That’s when the defence made its presence felt, with Cory Lewis stepping in front of a pass intended for Liam Stewart and weaving some 70 yards through traffic to return it for a TD. At 13-0 after the first quarter, Cowichan had the makings of a blowout in place. But Coquitlam quickly capitalized on a turnover for a TD pass up the middle to a wide-open William Carter. The score remained 13-7 until late in the second quarter when the defence came up with another big play. With Coquitlam scrimmag-

ing deep in its own end, Brock Gowanlock won the fight for possession and turned it into a TD that made it 20-7 at halftime. “The quarterback just kind of fumbled it,’’ said Gowanlock. “I just kind of grabbed it out of his hand.’’ The third quarter produced 10 more points from the Bulldogs on a 30-yard Kole Lochbaum field goal followed by Liam Palcu-Johnston’s straight-ahead run to the end zone and Lochbaum’s conversion. Prior to Palcu-Johnston’s TD, Clayton Key made an interception and looked to be heading to the end zone himself when the ball popped free and the officials ruled it was passed forward on a lateral attempt.

Palcu-Johnston made another 30-yard run to the outside for a TD in the fourth quarter. The defence proved tough on the Falcons in the hardhitting game. Players on both sides were shaken up quite frequently. “We really stepped it up today and their defence played

really strong,’’ said Gowanlock. “Way better this game. The rust was gone and we were all ready to play. “We’re always pushing for the championship. We have to focus one week at a time and we have to deliver every Sunday.’’ “We came out strong,’’ said Williams. “Then we got a

bit rattled on that P.I. (pass interference) call and then the fumble. It took a bit for us to settle back down and get back in the swing of things.’’ “We kind of got out of our groove there for a while,’’ added assistant coach Mike Caljouw. The Bulldogs are at Comox next weekend.

Liam Lindsay Liam Lindsay jumped into the track and field circuit in a big way in 2013. Lindsay, 17, a Grade 12 Cowichan Secondary School student, just missed a medal in fourth place for the triple jump at the Legion national youth meet and finished 10th in the long jump. “It was different and it was one of the biggest things I’ve ever done,’’ he said of the meet last month in Langley. “There’s also a certain amount of pressure representing Team B.C., but I think overall it was a great experience.’’ Nursing a leg injury along the way created an extra challenge. “Triple jump, it was tough being able to train but being able to stay healthy as well,’’ Lindsay said. “I had some coaches helping me do that and worked my way through it and did as best as I could.’’ Lindsay’s personal best in the triple jump is 13.28 metres from the Team B.C. qualifying meet in Kamloops this year. His 6.25 metre personal best in the long jump came during the provincial high school meet in Langley. “I’m looking to start training full seasons starting in September and do some ground work and strength training before we move on to technique later in the season,’’ Lindsay said.

It was the home-opener for the Islanders, but the hometown fans went home disappointed after a 6-4 loss. The Islanders had a busy opening week, playing three games in just four days.
