Cowichan answers tough on affordability question Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

multi-prong attack on the valley’s growing affordable housing crisis is in Social Planning Cowichan’s cross-hairs. But affordable-housing answers are moving targets — from getting Cowichan’s many homeless folks off our streets, to building lower-price housing within budgets of struggling families. SPC is planning a fresh homelessness count, while it partners with local government on a regional-needs analysis to help gauge action, explained Joy Emmanuel, SPC’s affordablehousing co-ordinator. “We need to provide direct services, and support those who are homeless in our community, while working to ensure those who are at risk of losing their housing do not become homeless,” her release says. “Raising awareness is the first step to tackling these challenges.” Homelessness Action Week, Oct. 13 to 19 sees a Day of Direct Services to low-income and homeless folks Wednesday at Duncan United Church. Some 20 service providers will offer legal services, counselling, foot care and more. Donated clothing, blankets and personal-care items will also be distributed. (Call 250-7461004, ext. 260, by Tuesday to donate.) But that’s just part of a large, long-term puzzle. SPC’s fresh figures show about 20% of homeowners and 52% of renters, spend more than a third of their gross income on shelter costs. And four of 10 Cowichan households don’t make a living wage, pegged at $15.81 hourly for a family of four. Those issues eat into basics such as food, clothing, healthcare and schooling. So Cowichan’s catch-22 includes growing our economy to provide jobs that provide money for better housing. “How do we help facilitate new opportunities to create affordable housing?” Emmanuel asked. “A few developers have approached us, church groups, and local groups like Cowichan Green Community. “The Cowichan Valley Regional District Andrew Leong Doug August Jr. refurbishes the 15-foot Friendship Pole on Oct. 5, located outside the Duncan train station, carved by his dad is working in Cobble Hill doing community consultations around age-friendly seniors Cicero August and erected in 1987. The project was commissioned by the City of Duncan.

housing. But solutions don’t happen overnight, she noted. “It’s housing for the future; all these initiatives need land. You have to know how to finance affordable-housing initiatives, zoning bylaws, partnerships, and all funders will ask for a needs analysis.” Social Planning, and its various committees, are pecking at various housing pieces. A recent workshop was held with B.C. Housing and CMHC (financing) agents. An affordable-housing trust fund is being brainstormed whereby local non-profit groups could apply for money. Valley municipalities and the CVRD are mulling affordable-housing policies, plus zoning bylaws to legalize secondary suites, she explained. “Even developers are getting into nonmarket housing, with funding from CMHC, as part of the housing they create. “Eventually, Social Planning could be building housing,” Emmanuel said. She pointed to big support for a seniors housing co-op seen at last week’s B.C. Cooperative Association open house in Duncan. And models exist elsewhere that could be cloned, or fine-tuned, to answer Cowichan’s affordable-housing crunch. For instance, Whistler developers must include employee housing in projects to tackle the town’s lack of worker accommodation. more on page 6

UP FRONT

Coroner says case of body found near Cowichan Commons not suspicious

The B.C. Coroner’s Service has identiﬁed Duncan’s Ian Robert Finch as the deceased man located Monday evening in a rural section of property near Duncan. Vancouver Island regional coroner Matt Brown said the cause of the 43-year-old’s death is undetermined, but there’s “certainly no indication of suspicious activity.”

An autopsy was conducted Wednesday, but results could take months, Brown said. A tip led North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP to Finch’s body Monday evening off the Friendship Trail near the Cowichan Commons. The new trail acts as a connector path from the Commons to downtown Duncan. “Police attended and located the body of a

male in the bushes,” stated North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP Cpl. Jon Stuart in a media release. “As in all deaths of this nature, it is being treated seriously, until the facts of the case can be determined.’’ Details about a service were unknown at press time.

Documenting our resilient river Ninety-minute documentary: Awardwinning ﬁlmmaker trains his lens on the Cowichan with Resilience

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

ive minutes wasn’t much time to film the tale of the majestic Cowichan River’s trials and tributaries. So award-winning valley director Nick Versteeg is answering the regional board’s request for a mini-doc about the Cowichan, with a full-length, 90-minute documentary titled Resilience. Armed with hours of footage and interviews — shot between April and now (“We’ll probably watch the salmon spawning”) — Versteeg’s editing Resilience toward a Cowichan Theatre premiere and question period in early February. “I’d read so many news articles about the Cowichan watershed. What could I do in five minutes?” “First, I got all stakeholders together at the Oceanfront (resort); people with something to do with the river system, and pitched my documentary.” Resilience will chase his recently acclaimed Once Upon A Day Cowichan — given Innovator of the Year honours through Vancouver Island Tourism. Resilience landed Versteeg $15,000 from sponsors Living Rivers, the B.C. Salmon Foundation, and the B.C. Wildlife Foundation. The final product will include original music led by Eric Smith, who created the soundtrack for Once Upon A Day. Local musician Ed Peekeekoot lends lovely flute work to Resilience. Versteeg’s Zeiss lens focused on local efforts to preserve the heritage river threatened by logging, overfishing, development, garbage, pollution, and drought. Those problems risk the Cowichan’s oncehealthy fish populations of salmon, trout and other species. “This film will deal with its environmental issues, and the incredible beauty of the lake, the river and the estuary — we have to protect it and look after it.” But Versteeg the journalist aimed to include all sides of the river’s dynamic saga. “I want to tell all issues, from all viewpoints,” he said, including those protesting perceived property flooding by Cowichan Lake’s weir controlling river flows for spawning salmon. The river’s history, threats, and solutions await viewers. “Solutions are the main bulk of the film,” he said of Resilience, bound by interviews, not narration.

Resilience documentary maker Nick Versteeg ﬁlms Cowichan River ﬁsh-fence workers Dan Joe (centre) and Ramsey Alphonse near the white bridge. “Everyone has an opinion. My task is to blend them into a workable picture people can understand.” His school of community sources spanned Cowichan Tribes fisheries biologist Tim Kulchyski, fishermen Joe Saysell and Kenzie Cuthbert, Cowichan Stewardship Roundtable co-chairman Paul Rickard, and Rodger Hunter of Cowichan Watershed Board, to regional environmental manager Kate Miller, Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society president Paul Fletcher, and homeowners, to joy-riding tubers. “Community groups are the real heroes to me,” concluded Versteeg. But some 70% of the watershed is owned by

timber firms, so he wanted their opinions too. “We had a tough time getting the logging industry involved, but TimberWest came onboard with use of its helicopter.” “Catalyst has been very good,” he said of community co-operation by Crofton pulpmill’s parent holding the river’s two provincialflow permits. “We’ll show Resilience publicly from Youbou to Cowichan Bay. The goal is to create a dialogue when people get the full story.” That story started in Cowichan Lake. Versteeg toured tiny streams full of fry struggling against debris and gravel sediments, and being rescued by Natives and other volunteers. He visited lakefront properties, riparian-

shorelines, the weir, ongoing silt-erosion protection at Stoltz Bluff, gravel removal at the river’s north arm, the white bridge’s fish-counting fence, and the estuary. That threatened wetland has many folks worried about effects from Western Forest Products’ dredging, and the bay’s float-home sewage. “By 2020, we want to be eating shellfish from the estuary,” he said of Resilience, targeting communication, not conflict. “Our river system will recuperate, if we help it enough.” The Resilience website, with a planned trailer in December and weekly stories, is dvcuisine. com.

Amber Marsh and Shelby Buchan dropped 13 stories in downtown Victoria recently as part of a charity fundraiser. Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

appelling down a 13-story building didn’t have anything on two local moms. And if Amber Marsh and Shelby Buchan could do it again they most definitely would. The ladies recently participated in the Sept. 12 Drop Zone fundraiser, dropping down the side of Victoria’s CIBC building and raising $4,600 for the Easter Seals Camp in Shawnigan Lake. “My dad passed away in June, 2012 from cancer, and he had dedicated a lot of his career as a psychologist helping children and was a big supporter of childrens’ charities like B.C. Children’s Hospital and Camp Easter Seals,” explained Buchan of why she decided to take the plunge. But it wasn’t her first time. “I actually did the Drop Zone back in 2006, as the opportunity was basically handed to me as I was working in Victoria at 100.3 The Q. So I already knew what I was getting

Falling for you

Take the plunge: Two Duncan moms drop off building in cancer fundraiser myself into. However, this time I was going to earn my way by raising money to help send kids to camp, a local camp at that. “I originally thought about doing the Drop Zone last August, but didn’t think I would have enough time to raise the money in a month. I told my husband that I was going to do it the following September and raise money in my dad’s honour.” Marsh and Buchan have been buddies for about four years and the two were chatting over coffee when Shelby mentioned doing the drop again. “She asked if she could join me, adding that she was nervous and joked about backing out because of her fear of heights,” said Buchan. “I promised to be right there with her the whole time and we basically just went for it.” Marsh wasn’t new to the fundraising scene and

participating in fundraising events. “For the past five years I have done the Super Cities walk for MS,” she said. “Each year I was in the top five fundraisers in the valley, and raised over $10,000 total in those five years. This year I had decided to take a break from MS and maybe try something different.” After agreeing to participate in the Drop Zone with Buchan, Marsh wondered during the next six months if she was out of her mind. “I have zero experience doing anything like this,” she said. “I did a rope course once when I was 13. Also, I have a pretty big fear of heights, but I had committed to Shelby and decided I had to follow through.” Both ladies admitted it was quite intimidating standing in front of the building located at the corner of Douglas and View streets.

“Even though I had rappelled that very building before, I was just as nervous, maybe because I’m a mother now? I find that I scare more easily now than before I had my son.” “The hardest part,” Marsh added, “was getting up on the edge of the roof and the amazing rope masters telling me that it was time to lean back and let go of the railing. “Once I did that, it was so easy. So much focus goes into just doing the motions to move yourself down that you don’t really think about how high up you are.” On Drop Zone day, Marsh and Buchan got to drop at the same time. “It was a great experience to share with my friend,” said Buchan. “Honestly, when I got to the ground, I wanted to go right back up to the roof and do it again,” said Marsh. “Plus, I was so amazingly proud of our achievements, tackling, and surviving my fear of heights, raising money for such a great cause and showing my kids that it’s totally OK to be afraid of something but it’s always a good thing to at least try it. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat.”

Being a successful realtor is about more than selling houses. It’s about working with people, helping families find homes, and helping neighbourhoods and communities to grow and prosper. Truly successful Realtors are good at what they do because they care about the clients they work with, and are genuinely dedicated to helping them make the best possible decision. The result of that dedication is a career that’s exciting and rewarding - both personally and financially.

Hopefully, this assists in keeping the offender engaged in the process, but it also allows for variation of orders if it’s necessary.’’ The Court will be officially opened with a ceremony from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. today at the Quw’utsun’ Cultural Centre.

new First Nations Court in Duncan is aimed at communitybased sentences that are more likely to assist in the rehabilitation of offenders. “The First Nations Court has a number of First Nations elders who participate in the sentencing process,’’ explained Brad Tomlin, Administrative Crown Counsel. “While the final sentencing order is still made by the presiding Provincial Court Judge, the thoughts and recommendations from the elders, which arise from their interaction with the offender at the sentencing hearing can be a tremendous assistance to the judge, who imposes the sentence.’’

“We have the Elders Advisory Panel who assist with the healing plan or probation order,’’ added Mabel Peter of the First Nations Court committee. The court deals solely with provincial matters and is modeled after a similar court that’s been operating successfully in New Westminster for many years. “This is a sentencing court,’’ said Peter. “They’re pleading guilty and taking responsibility for their actions. It’s one day a month and it goes in accordance to availability of judges and Crown counsel people.’’ Tomlin added any First Nations person accused can ask to be sentenced in the court but Crown must agree to the request before any file is transferred. “There are no additional funds,’’ said Peter. “The current resources

Sensible B.C. is proposing an amendment to the Police Act that

would instruct law enforcement officials not to use any money, time or resources on cases of simple possession of marijuana, similar to the approach B.C. and several other provinces took in, refusing to expend any resources in enforcing the Firearms Act because they did

not support the Long Gun Registry. The amendment would not affect any of the laws around trafficking, possession for the purposes of trafficking, or cultivation. “It simply does not make sense that a person should get arrested, charged and given a criminal record for the rest of their life just for possessing a small amount of marijuana for their personal use,” said Douglas. “And let’s not forget our police have very limited time, money and resources, and these should be used to fight real crime.” Sensible B.C. needs to collect signatures from 10% of the registered voters in every single one of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts before Nov. 30, 2013. If it’s successful, a referendum would be held in September 2014.

Homeless count part of housing solution puzzle

Social Planning Cowichan gained a $55,000 federal grant to host more Ready to Rent classes this winter, stage a day of direct services for homeless folks, and complete a homeless count in early 2014. The count will give accurate numbers of homeless Cowichanians, and who they are, and why they’re homeless, so solutions can be planned. SPC’s Joy Emmanuel estimated there are about 150 visibly homeless people here.

Dust season turns to mud season in Youbou as TimberWest ponders its next move

No comment yet: Officials urge locals to continue with their lobby Malcolm Chalmers

News Leader Pictorial

imberWest is not prepared to comment yet on its next move in the Great Youbou dust storm controversy. But plenty of others have no such reservations. As the rains come, and the dust problem changes to mud and water spray, residents continue to push for an answer to the problem of logging truck dust billowing and mud splattering on the main road and residential properties, local officials continue to pressure the province to do something. Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley has been actively pursuing the minister of transportation and the minister of forests, and their staffs to take action, as is Youbou Director Pat Weaver. Weaver has forwarded each a dust and mud video collection. Calling the stiuation a health concern, she has also sent letters to the Ministry of Health, hoping that may garner some results. And she is calling for residents to continue to write letters of complaint to these ministries as well. Ministry of Highways spokesperson Kate Trotter said trucking firms are required to keep the main road clean. “As a condition of their permit to access Youbou Road, Timber-

Lake Cowichan Gazette

The billowing dust clouds on Youbou Road are still evident, but fall weather will soon transform them to splattering mud. West is responsible for removing or mitigating the deposition of materials onto the provincial public road,” she told the Gazette in an email. “The conditions of access stipulate that TimberWest must remove material deposited on the provincial public road. It is at their discretion as to the method they use to mitigate the deposition of material onto the road.” When questioned about lack of enforcement, she said the ministry has been collaborating with TimberWest on the issue and TimberWest is responsible to comply. “TimberWest in the past has carried out programs of sweeping, power washing the pavement as well as applying dust control treatments to the gravel portions of their road as it enters Youbou.” Routley said the government’s

push to deregulate industry has left outside enforcement non-existent. Routley suggested paving the final portion of TimberWest’s logging road leading into the community may move the dust problem onto their lands and away from Youbou. TimberWest has explored the idea of installing a truck wash west of the town, but that idea hit a roadblock when the Cowichan Valley Regional District reversed a decision to contribute $5,000 to help build the facility. It was not clear whether the truck wash is still on the table. TimberWest spokeswoman Sue Handel declined an interview request for the time being. “I can’t provide you an update today but will be in touch when we have clarified our next steps on this project.”

Not hard to see plenty here to be thankful for

In the news: Don’t let the complaining fool you

t’s a myth that newspapers are only interested in “bad” news. But it is true the news is full of stories with conflict, stories where individuals or groups are not happy about a situation and want to see it changed. We make no excuses for that; situations generally don’t improve thanks to people quietly muttering to their friends in a coffee shop. It takes initiative, and part of that initiative — at least in the public arena — is people making their voices heard. But it is Thanksgiving weekend. And on the off-chance our readers may be mistaking a call for a better world for Positives to an effort to impugn the world we have, be found in let us put the misperception to rest right now. even in conResidents of Cowichan have a troversy plethora of reasons to be thankful. Here are just a few that are in the news right now: The Cowichan River: it may seem to be threatened with drought on annual basis, but it endures as the heart of this valley, supplying a pure, plentiful supply of water to thousands, a pulse to our precious ecology and a bounty of pleasurable experience to local residents. Food and shelter: there are some in this community who regularly feel a gnawing in their bellies and who retreat to makeshift lean-tos to get out of the weather. But there are many more who never go lacking and a large portion of them are happy to share. There is an abundance of opportunity to grow and harvest food and the mildest climate in the country. A caring community: people aren’t rallying to a variety of causes because they are selfish or apathetic or fond of stirring the pot. They rally because they care about improving or maintaining things that are precious to them. And that is far better than the alternative.

We say:

Seeing both sides of: councillors missing hearings The case against

The case for

Public meeting appearances are usually about political points, not open minds. Do you think those North Cowichan councillors who did not attend last week’s marsh forum are unaware of the issues that were discussed? Do you think they are unaware of the depth of feeling expressed? Do you think anyone who has made up his or her mind about the issue is going to be persuaded by such a forum to adopt a new position?

North Cowichan staffer John Mackay listens during last week’s Somenos Marsh forum.

am very upset with local politicians. I wonder sometimes why they serve. Not to paint all with the same broad brush — I know some politicians who work hard for their community — but the reality is some are there for self-serving purposes. I am tired of always having to headbutt them every time I want to be heard. This was proven to me once again during the recent public forum on development and diking issues in Somenos Marsh. It provided clearcut evidence North Cowichan is not listening and has decided what the public wants and needs without consultation or transparency. The forum, hosted and paid for by the Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society, was held because North Cowichan refused to hold this same community process despite many different and individuals asking for more than three years. North Cowichan’s answer to the many requests for a public meeting was, and still is,

that the floodworks are an emergency and grant deadlines do not leave time for public consultation. What surprised me the most was the lack of politicians attending the forum. Apart from two North Cowichan councillors, the mayors of Duncan and North Cowichan, one Duncan councillor, and a single CVRD director no other politician showed up to listen to what their residents had to say about an extremely important community-wide issue. One absent North Cowichan councillor was heard to say, attendance was not necessary since they were adequately represented by the mayor and staff present at the forum. May I ask, since when is a staff report better than hearing people’s voices directly? North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure faced a crowd of more than 350 residents raising the issue of the lack of transparency and consultation among other issues. He had the audacity to suggest the best place to learn about North Cowichan activities, in particular the issue that brought everyone to

You want to be an elected official? Then you better be prepared to attend frequent meetings with open ears and an open mind. There is a big difference between firsthand contact and secondhand reports. Yes, this type of forum is often more about the audience learning and sharing than it is about officials doing the same. But it’s part of the job. Who knows? They might learn something.

COWICHAN LEADERS

the forum, was to attend a council meeting. The ridiculousness of this suggestion is almost offensive when you consider it. If you don’t have a car, you cannot get to the municipal hall since it is located far out of town and far from any bus routes. Furthermore, if you have a regular job, forget attending as council meetings are held during business hours. If that weren’t enough to deter you, why would you even consider sitting through six hours of meeting time when much of what is most important happens during closed sessions or committee meetings? Furthermore, if you want to say something, you can only ask questions about what was discussed during the council meeting Now the dust has settled on the dike construction that prompted the Somenos-hosted public forum. The realization North Cowichan has subversively annexed a large piece of valuable real

estate when the dikes moved into Somenos Marsh is not lost on people. The fact the entire tract of land orphaned by the dike is labeled on planning maps as lands for potential development confirms their purpose. It did not stem from public consultation at all. It is simply a land grab influenced by serious money. Many of us try to do good works in the valley and yet, we continue to be sidelined and stalled by a political process that hinders rather than helps. Rather than focus our volunteer time on positive growth we are left to fight local politicians who just don’t get it. It is time they did get it!

“If statistics show a growing problem, it should clearly be the focus of police intention; guns kill people. Outside of a hunting riﬂe, what do you need a pistol for?”

Landon Joulie, North Cowichan

Echo Heights is back on the table

Roundabouts the right way to go

Dear editor I’m not familiar with the situation on Donnay Drive, but I can assure you the Victoria Road roundabout built by North Cowichan in Chemainus is very much needed and will prove its worth when a new mall is opened at that location. Even without the mall, the roundabout has cleared what was a rather messy compound intersection of three separate roads that converged at awkward angles. This put southbound traffic on Chemainus Road into the blind spot of southbound motorists approaching on Victoria Road. Living on the latter street, I often had to crane my neck awkwardly to see what traffic was coming. The River Road intersection might seem more marginal to some (especially those who don’t like paying for road improvments), but traffic backs up there during certain peak travel periods and River Road will become busier as more residential development goes on there. The only long-term solution is either a circle or a traffic light. Stop signs are not effective on roads that experience even intermittent congestion. The same situation applies at the Chemainus Theatre intersection except the escalating traffic there is more commercially generated. The urbanized stretch of Chemainus Road has become a high volume arterial road from dawn to dusk, and high efficiency circles are needed at all four locations. The alternative is the signalized hell we all know so well along Duncan’s congested roads. Many of us here in Chemainus take pride in the fact we have no municipal traffic lights in our town. As for stop signs, they have a place on quiet residential streets and rural arterial roads. There are thousands of them still left in the Valley of Stop (despite the removal of a few by North Cowichan), along with dozens of their more obnoxious air-polluting cousins, the stop-lights. Transportation money is tight on south-central Vancouver Island, as it always has been, so they won’t be disappearing any time soon. Chris Carss

In my opinion: Let’s get this precious piece of land preserved as a park “No one ever made a mistake by deciding to not develop a piece of land.” by Nancy Turner, Ethnobiologist

n Oct. 16, tentatively, North Cowichan’s planning department is presenting council with the latest plan to develop up to 20% of Echo Heights Forest in Chemainus with 45 to 55 single family houses. Their previous plan was to develop 40% of the 54-acre forest with a variety of housing including multi-family and affordable.

1939: accidents

1939: hunting

by Ann Andersen

Friday, October 11, 2013

Cowichan sportsmen who were members of Cowichan Fish and Game Association were granted the right to shoot over 5,000 acres of Indian (sic) reserve land. The association said it would prosecute anyone shooting there without a permit.

1939: mining

An unnamed motorist was ﬁned $50 and $3.75 costs after pleading guilty to “driving in a manner dangerous to the public.” He lost control on the Koksilah bridge and smashed sideways into a car driven by Mr. Hamish Mutter, tearing its fabric roof.

Mining prospectors were investigating the El Capitan and Silverleaf copper-gold properties owned by Cowichan syndicates located near one another at the head of Cottonwood Creek at Youbou.

he Second World War had only just begun, and locals were enthusiastically enlisting to fight in Europe. Volunteerism was so high that recruiting was deferred early in October 1939 for the 62nd Field Battery and A Co., 2nd Battalion Canadian Scottish, both garrisoned in Duncan. Eager to do its part in chronicling the war effort, the Leader announced each local enlistment. Among those listed that week were G. Radcliff, M. Rowbottom, C. L. Hawley, A. Mainwaring, R. F. Hayman, Jack Clements, Peter Annandale and A. deC. Denny, all scattering across Canada. Meanwhile, Cowichan women had begun to register for voluntary service in case of emergency. “They will join the women of Britain in proving that patriotism and ability are not confined to men,” nodded the Leader. With national registration designed to reach every woman in Canada, committees were formed in every community, no matter how tiny. At a meeting of the Cowichan committee, headed by Maple Bay Road’s Mrs. D. A. Girvin, in the Alderlea Tea Rooms, residents learned the region had been divided into more than 20 districts. The list, including the communities of Vimy and Deerholme/Glenora, instructed women how to register.

ndemic, epidemic, pandemic... words we hear more often during the flu season. Flu is endemic because it is present continually during the winter. If the number of flu cases is higher than expected, the flu is epidemic. It becomes pandemic when it occurs over a wide geographical area or even worldwide.

Flu has a short incubation period, about 2-3 days. The symptoms can range from mild to severe but one symptom you should not ignore is shortness of breath. If you experience this, see a doctor right away because it could signal a sign of a complication like pneumonia. Some tablets release the medication slowly in the instestinal tract leaving only an empty, unabsorbable shell which you may see in your feces. Don’t be alarmed. It’s just the way the tablet was designed to release the medication. We’ll let you know if we dispense this type of medication for you. Social media, TV, radio and newspapers are full of stories about the latest weight-reducing product or aids to improving your health. It’s important to speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking part in any weight loss regime. Make sure that you aware of the risks as well as the benefits. Of course, weight loss is always a good thing - but be aware of products that are sold online. Please ask in-store about our new weight loss and walking program with our home health care professional, Deidra Cline.

s a kid, painter Roger Jackson knew his mom wouldn’t like finding drawings on walls or table cloths. So he dodged trouble by using paper to start his lifelong romance with images that strike his fancy. Results can be seen in Jackson’s four acrylic works hung in this weekend’s Maple Bay Artists’ annual show at St. Peter’s Quamichan church hall. “Every show’s a confidence builder,” the four-year MBP member said. His confidence curve got steeper after retiring in 2009. Jackson, 69, left the electrical-manufacturing industry, and seriously plugged into his artistic interest. “I actually started painting back in ‘92,” the south-end resident said. “I’ve been painting on

Jackson joined the Federation of Canadian

Artists in 1998 while capturing subjects spanning the human form and geographical features. “I spend lots of time on buildings, like old European ones juxtaposed in modern times; I’m in my work-boat phase now,” said Jackson, influenced by impressionists and post-impressionists. “I paint in acrylic and oil; acrylic dries quickly so I can move on. Oil is slow-drying but it has a beautiful, buttery feel. “I like oil’s blend of pigments and colours; it all comes out so beautifully.” Easel work up to 12 hours weekly fly by. “I’m still trying to master everything I put my brush to.

ancing bears, lion tamers and prancing elephants were thankfully nowhere in sight during Monday’s stunning visit by the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats. The masters of balance, agility and illusion didn’t need those tepid circus acts. Instead, Cowichan Theatre viewers got a breathtakingly colourful, cultural education they won’t soon forget. The rapid-fire show of strength and grace, by Ken Hai’s 14-member troupe, sprayed the senses during two hours of stunts. Two clowns peppered the show with skilful antics — some involving the all-ages’ audience — while other performers readied main acts backstage. It was all flawless fun — except one set of spinning plates, perhaps dropped on purpose to show us the crockery wasn’t really attached to those chrome sticks. Sporting sensational Chinese costumes, Hai’s company used lively backing music bridging Celtic, Latin, Arabic, and Indian

Megan- I have been doing Curves complete for 7 months and have lost 65 lbs. The meal plan combined with the workout and coaching is great. The 1/2 hour workout is important to me as a busy single mom. Now I love going to the store and buying clothes that are 6 sizes smaller than before. I feel fantastic, full of energy and my family really notice the change. We are all happier because of Curves!

Hoop hijinks saw guys dive through a stack of various-size hoops. Pretzel logic had a small girl bend into, and through, a hollow drum at a clown’s comical insistence. Human statues were built by females using the leverage of each other to erect a pyramid of balanced ornaments. The Shiva shakedown saw women become Indian divas, and later, a human tree. A boy was the juggling juggernaut, bouncing up to eight balls at once, while tap dancing. The jughead act had one guy balance and spin various sizes of ceramic vases. A chairway to heaven involved a muscleman erecting a tower of white chairs reaching the rafters — then tear it down, tossing seats to assistants. The crowded-bike routine had nine performers riding one bike. What a show. Folks will never look at mere circus acts in the same light again. That’s why this deeply absorbing brand of global excellence is welcome back anytime at our theatre. Cultural-acrobatic show: 10 dragons out of 10.

ON STAGE

Care for a Romantic weekend?

Not too many people are keen to miss an opportunity for a Romantic weekend getaway. This one comes with a musical touch. The Cowichan Valley Music Teachers Association is hosting a What’s so Romantic about the Romantic? music history weekend next weekend. Running Thursday through Saturday, the event features lectures, a concert, and workshops to play, sing, dance, and learn about the great composers of the

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 19 Romantic era and how they made the charts of the day. The highlight will be the “Soiree” on Oct. 18. “It will be an unusual event, like a moveable feast: ﬁrst, music beautifully performed by the clinicians, in the church, then dancing, eating, poetry readings and harp/ violin music in the hall, and a return to the church for the ﬁnale,” spokeswoman Ann Mendenhall said. “Enjoy a spectacular, 19th-century evening!” The Soiree is $20. Other event sessions are $17 per

session, with discounts available for those interested in doing multiple sessions. What’s so Romantic about the Romantic? will be held at St. Peter’s Anglican Church and Hall, and will be led by a group including Bruce Vogt, James Mark, Susan Young and Elizabeth Volpe Bligh. Workshops are open to students ages 11 and up. Register by contacting Catharina De Beer, catharinadb@shaw.ca or 250-929-3303.

Obituary: Curtain falls on actor, director, teacher David Holmes Peter W. Rusland

avid Holmes likely sensed The Importance Of Being Ernest might be his swan song after its boisterous run in June. Fighting a renewed bout of cancer, the popular Cowichan actor, director, dry wit, political animal, teacher and father lost his battle to the disease Oct. 3 He was 76. But Holmes’ tragic exit didn’t quite end with Ernest — he was directing his Vagabond troupe’s version of Noel Coward’s comedy Hayfever, when Holmes died in hospital. Stage manager, Jim Cleough, is assuming Holmes’ directorial duties for the show opening Nov. 14 at the Mercury Theatre. “David was the reason Hayfever’s happening. I had not been one of the actors, and told David I’d be his stage manager

and support guy.” Holmes had plenty of support from students and actors while working with local companies spanning the South Island Musical Society, Mercury Players, and Vagabond — which staged Ernest. “When you were David’s friend, you were a lucky person,” Cleough said. “He valued friendship very highly, but was always a little prickly; David didn’t care for idiots. He really appreciated excellence and always strived for that. “Working with him as an actor was a brilliant opportunity for me due to the amount of work he put into his craft and gave back to you and everyone who worked with him. He was a great man.” Holmes’ first love, added Cleough, was teaching “and he was a great actor.” Armed with studies in theatre, English, and psychology from the University of Wales — and courses at UVic — Welsh-born Holmes taught English at Cowichan Secondary School for years, while pursuing his stage passion in a raft of roles with various Cowichan troupes during the past two decades. Our Town, Love Letters, and many more plays kept Holmes hopping while

penning pointed letters to editors about valley roundabouts, government waste, school management, and other current issues. His legacy will be his dramatic footprint he left in Cowichan, Cleough explained. “The Mercury Theatre, that he was a co-founder of, continues on and will be strengthened. We’re carrying on his play. It’ll be a great production with a great cast for the public to watch as David’s legacy. “I’m putting through what he chose, it’s the last chapter in his novel.” Holmes was cremated Wednesday. His remains will be taken back to Wales for placement beside his mom’s grave, Cleough said. He is survived by three daughters. One, Sarah Wilson, posted this on David’s Facebook page. “I love you dad. I know you’re finally feeling comfort. Thank you for everything you taught me. Thank you for choosing to be my dad. You will be missed by so many people. Your legacy will live on in the boys. I will tell them everything.”

ebriefing our brains of corporate and government messages, through audience-infused improv theatre, is the role of Thursday’s VIU session by Theatre For Living. Host David Diamond hosts Thursday’s 2 1/2-hour community therapy session exorcising Corporations In Our Heads. “The whole thing begins from the perspective corporations communicate with us in ways we don’t see or hear anymore, because it happens so many times in a day.” Why to do we buy certain things? How do we respond to advertised pictures and people? Why do we pick a certain politician or party? Why do we recycle? “These behaviours are what lead us to other actions; like over-consumption, how we are on the planet, and who we aspire to be. What does safety and success mean to us?” With no script or actors, Heads will help Cowichanians create a crucible of awareness reflecting their community. Using language of the theatre, folks will reach root causes, then change the effects corporate messages have on their daily behaviour, Diamond indicated. Volunteers are gently urged to participate. “People are really hungry to do this; it ends up being impov-based,” he said. “Really profound, but special, things happen each night.” Folks leave with particular things helping them live

healthier lives, too. Diamond asks three people to tell their stories about making decisions they knew, or sensed, were driven by corporate or government messages. “The room chooses the story that resonates most to them. “We put the story on stage quickly in improv, and at the theatrical moment when I see those voices in their heads, I freeze that moment — then start to physicalize those voices as characters played by other audience members who recognize those same messages.” Folks enjoy “branding the characters” such as Revlon, Apple, Lululemon, Enbridge, the government. Corporate messages stick to us as we attach their messages to people profoundly affecting our lives, such as parents, friends, teachers, he explained. Their voices basically tell us to buy a certain car or dress, or act a certain way, he noted. But the Heads’ theatre is a lab where audience ideas coax us to debunk spun messages. “At the heart of it is some level of activist work,” Diamond said of helping audiences escape “prisons” they inhabit through behavioural patterns. “We can alter our behaviour that creates and sustains those structures — if we build those structures, we can change them.” Your ticket What: Corporations in Our Heads When: Oct. 17, 7 p.m. Where: VIU, Cowichan campus, Duncan Tickets: Admission by donation.

BRUCE, Perrin (Perry) Cameron Perry passed away peacefully in the Hospice Wing of the Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock, B.C. on Monday, September 2, 2013, age 68. He was born in Vancouver, B.C. on September, 6, 1944. He leaves behind to mourn, his son Alex Bruce, stepson Iain Clark, sister Carolyn (Fred) Gronlund, dear friend Marina Witt-Taylor, and numerous other friends and relatives. Perry lived his early life in Duncan, B.C. where he attended elementary school at St. Annâ€™s Catholic School, and graduated from Cowichan Senior Secondary. He continued on to UBC, graduating with a degree in Chemical Engineering. With his degree he started his career at the Pulp Mill in Squamish, and later moved to Kamloops where he continued his employment at the Weyerhaeuser Pulp Mill working as Senior Process Engineer until his retirement. During this time he married Lynne Gray and was a loving father, dedicated to raising his son Alex and his stepson Iain. Perry was passionate about the outdoors and spent his leisure hours hiking and photographing wildlife. In retirement, he pursued competitive (Duplicate) Bridge, which became a great pastime for him and he achieved designation as a Life Master and Director. A brief graveside service will be held at St. Peterâ€™s Church, Duncan, BC, on Sunday, October 13, 2013 at 1:30 pm. Perryâ€™s ashes will be placed to rest near those of his parents, Ron and Nell Bruce, in St. Peterâ€™s Cemetery. Friends, family and acquaintances are invited to attend. There will be refreshments in the hall following the service.

Kuchirka, Margaret Ruth Ruth slipped away from us Saturday, September 21, 2013 at the Kiwanis Lodge in Nanaimo, age 88. Born January 25, 1925 in Montreal to Herbert and Isabella Sudds (nee Oliver) she was a middle child of 9 children, all of whom she survived. Ruth worked at the Queen Alexandria Childrenâ€™s and St Josephâ€™s Hospitals in Victoria, and for many years at the Cedar Inn in Youbou. Her volunteer work was remarkable. She was a Sunday School teacher, a Girl Guide leader and a member of the hospital auxiliary but the volunteer work dearest to her heart was with the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary at Branch 53 in Duncan and Branch 210 in Lake Cowichan for which she was awarded a Life Membership. She was a Past President who made many friends there and worked countless hours in the kitchen catering and on the poppy campaign. She loved crafts, particularly to crochet and work with flowers, and she loved a good game of Bingo. In her younger years in Youbou her family dinners were legendary. She loved children and was always caring for some - either her own grandchildren or babysitting othersâ€™. Happy go lucky at heart and always laughing, telling a joke, or singing, Ruth will be remembered for her generosity and willingness to help anyone she came upon. She is survived by her daughter, Olena, son-in-law Scott McCallum, granddaughters Nicole, with great-granddaughter Sophie, and Vanessa, with grand son-in-law Geoff Kee, â€œadoptedâ€? grandsons Sean and Jason Powell and their families, Olenaâ€™s Father Mike Kuchirka, best friend forever Edie Wort, and many friends and extended family. She was predeceased by her son, John Hatfield, who lived forever in her heart. The family sincerely thanks everyone at Kiwanis House for the loving assistance provided to Ruth during the 9 years she resided there and to the staff at Kiwanis Lodge for the beyond excellent care and devotion shown to her during her final days there. Thanks also to Dr. Miguel Pereira for his attention, expertise, and care. The kindness shown by all of you is appreciated more than they can say. A memorial tea and Legion Remembrance Service will be held Sunday, October 20, 2013 at 2:00 pm in the Duncan United Church Hall, 246 Ingram Street, Duncan. Please bring your memories and a good laughâ€ŚRuth would want it that way. As she was fond of saying, â€œDonâ€™t say goodbye. Say, so longâ€Śuntil we meet again.â€?

McCallâ€™s of Victoria, BC (1-800-870-4210) JAMES, Shirley Anne These things often start with the statement that it is with great sadness we announce the passing ofâ€Śâ€Ś.. In this situation there is also sadness but in addition to that there is recognition and celebration of the wonderful adventure that was the life of ShirleyAnne James. If you knew her, chances are you have a vivid and colourful memory of something she said or did in her lifetime. She was a daughter, sister, mother, wife, granny, aunt, and friend. We know her as mom, and she fulfilled that role as she did all things in lifeâ€Ś..her way. There are lots of things that we know about her life that really stand out. There are also lots of infamous stories over the years about driving through snow storms and overcoming the odds in whatever she was trying to accomplish at the time. Equally, there are many lesser known things about Shirleyâ€™s life. She loved to knit, she bought a motorcycle at age 40, she once got married dressed as Mrs. Claus, she loved dogs, she knew short phrases in French, she liked to sing in church and throughout her lifetime she was spiritual. We hope that her spirit is creating a wave as she arrives in heaven. She always loved to make an entrance. You fought to do it your way, your whole life mom, now you can rest. Predeceased by her parents Archie and Elizabeth James, her sister Rosemary Kelly, she is survived by her brother William James and sister Patricia Hupka as well as her children Tina (Sam) Roys, Dean (Denis) McCuaig, Bobby (Nadine) Misko, Archie (Karen) Misko and a wonderful world of grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Shirley will be laid to rest with her parents in Chemainus Cemetery November 16 at 1:00 pm, followed by a gathering at the Duncan Legion Branch 53 (25 Kenneth Street) at 2:30 pm. Donations in her memory are welcomed by the Legion in Duncan. FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL SERVICES

he Camosun College senior girlsâ€™ volleyball tournament wasnâ€™t for the faint of heart. With 27 teams in the field, including three from the valley, the action seldom detracted from the cardiac accelerating level from start to finish. Brentwood College waded through the intense competition to place ninth while Duncan Christian School came 19th and Cowichan Secondary finished 26th. The top two teams were from the island, with Lambrick Park of Victoria taking the championship over Timberline of Campbell River. Crofton House, South Delta and Vanier of Courtenay rounded out the top five in order. â€œIt was a very, very good tournament,â€™â€™ said Brentwood coach Jill Fougner. Brentwood won its pool over Vic High and St. Margaretâ€™s by convincing margins. The crossover game against Crofton House was the only loss for Brentwood and knocked it down from finishing among the top teams. Brentwood had just beaten Crofton House at the UBC tournament two weeks earlier. â€œWe didnâ€™t play particularly well,â€™â€™ said Fougner of the rematch. Brentwood wound up on the short end of an 18-25, 24-26 decision. Brentwood went on to knock off Mount Douglas 25-16, 25-17 and then

went the distance to defeat Oak Bay in three sets. After a 25-21 victory in the first game, the score reversed in the second. But Brentwood prevailed in the tiebreaker 15-11. â€œIt was nice for us to be able to finish that,â€™â€™ said Fougner. â€œWeâ€™re very young. With that comes some learning curves. We probably placed where we should have.â€™â€™ Seeing Crofton House in third place at the end put things in perspective for Fougner. â€œWeâ€™re there,â€™â€™ she said. â€œWe just need to grow a little bit more.â€™â€™ Duncan Christian defeated Reynolds 24-26, 25-20, 15-11 to open the tournament. A strong first set against Oak Bay kept things close in an 18-25, 13-25 outcome. A 24-26, 25-14, 16-14 victory over St. Margaretâ€™s of Victoria followed and then DCS suffered a heartbreaking 12-25, 25-14, 16-18 defeat at the hands of Woodlands. The last match against Reynolds brought a two-set 25-21, 25-21 victory. Overall, the DCS matches were all highly-competitive and the team played well during the tense situations. The DCS girls play again during the long weekend at the Cedar tournament. Fougner has her Brentwood girls on a break before hosting their annual tournament the following weekend. Top contenders Lambrick Park and Timberline will be among the teams competing at Brentwood. â€œLambrick seems to be the cream of the crop this year,â€™â€™ said Fougner.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Penalty corners: Shawnigan Lake finally breaks through Brentwood defence Don Bodger

Chesterfield Sports Society

News Leader Pictorial

rentwood College held Shawnigan Lake School in check for the first half of a senior girls’ field hockey meeting between the rivals. Shawnigan eventually broke out after a scoreless first half for a 4-0 win. “Brentwood did a good job keeping us off the scoreboard,’’ noted Shawnigan coach Kelly Koepp. In the second half, Shawnigan executed its short corners well for four goals. Annabel Irwin found the net three times on penalty corners and Tai Williams added another off a scramble. The teams met again Thursday. Brentwood coach Alanna Martin was proud of her team but defending the short corners was “definitely something we need to fine-tune,’’ she noted.

A kick at the Kickers: Booting four converts complemented by a three-try performance Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

owichan Rugby Club’s First Division Piggies men gobbled up another victory heading into the Thanksgiving weekend break. Cowichan traveled to Comox and devoured the Kickers 43-13 to keep their season winning streak intact. It was the Owen Wood show for the most part on the scoreboard with three tries and four converts. Robbie McDonnell added a pair of tries, Mike Needham scored another and Cowichan was also awarded a penalty try. “We came out with a game plan of grinding down their forwards for the first 30 minutes, keeping play

tight with ball in hand,’’ explained Cowichan coach Gord McGeachy. Cowichan executed the plan fairly well and capitalized in the last 10 minutes of the half, running in five tries to take a 31-0 lead at the half. “Unfortunately, we took our foot off the gas in the second half and gave up a couple of soft tries before we got things straightened out and came back and finished with the final two tries of the game,’’ McGeachy noted. The Cowichan Thirds were shorthanded for a trip to Victoria, but played a tremendous game to earn a 17-17 tie against Velox, the top team in the island division. Players on both teams will now satisfy their hungers off the field for a weekend before digesting more rugby again.

Robin Gusse hops off the bench and springs into action Sunday against West Kelowna after the Warriors scored five times on back-up Francis Marotte. Gusse is missing some of that hair shown on his head earlier in the season, below right, after a Tour de Rock clipping.

hen The Goose landed in town, the Cowichan Valley Capitals knew they had a special talent to patrol their goaltending position for the 2013-14 B.C. Hockey League season. Robin Gusse (pronounced Goos), 20, was born in France and has four seasons of Quebec Major Junior Hockey League experience under his belt. He’s lived up to his billing through the Caps’ first dozen games as a bonafide puckstopper who’s going to give the team a chance to win most nights. “The only thing I’m looking for is trying to be at my best to help the team as best as I can,’’ said Gusse. He’s definitely doing that while providing the team with veteran leadership. “They can rely on me because I will do anything to help the team,’’ Gusse said. “It’s the same for every player. You have to do your job. “We could say it’s going well. Saying that would say we’re satisfied with the season so far and we can’t. We can never be satisfied with our results. We have to keep getting better.’’ Gusse’s father Eric played professional hockey in France and Robin

lived there until he was nine. He cracked the lineup of the Chicoutimi Sagueneens at 16 and also played in the league for the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies and the Rimouski Oceanic. Gusse’s shining moments came in 2010 when he went to a combined Team Canada U20 and U18 goalie camp. “I did good at this camp,’’ he said. “I got invited to the main camp of U18.’’ Gusse made the Team Canada U18 squad that went on to win the Ivan Hlinka tournament that summer in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. “I had a chance to play with a couple of good players there,’’ he said. Teammates included: Jonathan Huberdeau, now with the Florida Panthers, and current Edmonton Oiler Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. “That was a great experience,’’ said Gusse. But it only got better for him in 2011 when he was invited to the Montreal Canadiens’ rookie camp as an undrafted player and then participated in main camp. Gusse doesn’t have any contract offers currently floating around but hopes a strong season with the Caps could lead to a future in the ECHL and a chance to work his way up through the minor pro ranks.

Gusse basically ran out of options in Quebec with teams restricted to carrying three 20-yearolds. “I had to look at an alternative,’’ he said. “I thought about Europe. I talked to a couple of teams.’’ Lou Gravel, the Caps’ head scout, got wind of Gusse’s availability and contacted him about coming to Duncan. “I knew the BCHL was known for being the best Junior A league in Canada,’’ said Gusse. “I thought it was the best thing to do.’’ “To come that far from home, I was looking for a life experience, too. I think it was a great opportunity for me to see something else.’’ And there were other benefits he identified. “It sure is different for me for the language,’’ Gusse said. “I’m looking forward at getting better at English and learning.’’ Most of all, Gusse loves the atmosphere surrounding the team and the knowledge of the fans. “People are taking great care of us,’’ he said. “The staff around us is looking for the best.’’ Gusse is also big on attending community events and raised funds to have his head shaved during the Tour de Rock and an additional $200 on the spot to remove some leg hair. “I’m missing my hair a bit, but it’s for a good cause,’’ he said.

Fast out of the gate: Early exhibition, tiering games produce plenty of positives Don Bodger Don Bodger/file

Derek Topping has his Bantam AAA hockey squad off to a great start.

News Leader Pictorial

he Cowichan Valley’s top AAA rep hockey teams are both off to great starts this season. The Midget AAA Capitals have gone 8-2-2 after 12 games, including a 3-2 record in the tiering round. “We’ve got a pretty good group this year,’’ said coach Aaron Spotts. “We’ve got a lot of good young players that are eager.’’ Cowichan finished a busy weekend with two wins in three games, beating Alberni Valley 4-2 Friday and Powell River 4-1 Sunday while dropping a 6-4 decision to Juan de Fuca with an empty-netter Saturday.

“We’d beaten Juan de Fuca twice,’’ pointed out Spotts. “We just had a couple of bad bounces.’’ He was happy how the team responded after the loss in the Powell River game at Fuller Lake Arena. “We had a good little rebound game,’’ said Spotts. Despite a minimal number of returning players, members of the B team last year and five 15-yearolds have done a good job stepping up and filling the void. The Caps play in a tournament at Comox this weekend. “We’re looking forward to that,’’ said Spotts. “It’ll be a good test to see where we’re at.’’ Coach Derek Topping’s Bantam AAA squad, meanwhile, finished the tiering round by clobbering

Comox 12-0 but then lost 8-6 in Victoria to the Racquet Club. A female goalie playing for Comox actually robbed the Caps on several occasions. “She was fantastic,’’ said Topping. “It could have been a lot worse.’’ The Racquet Club loss was the only defeat for Cowichan in five tiering games. A 5-2 Caps’ lead at the ice clean fell by the wayside. “Racquet Club, obviously you have to give them credit,’’ said Topping. “They worked really hard. They were the better team and deserved to win. The bantams are playing in a tournament at Seafair in Richmond and then go to Kelowna for another tournament the following weekend.

Last seeding game ends in 5-0 loss Don Bodger

Try as they might, the Cowichan U18 girls’ soccer squad didn’t have enough might to match up with Prospect Lake.

The last of the seeding games to place teams in either Gold or Silver divisions didn’t go so well, with Cowichan losing 5-0 to Prospect Sunday at Victoria’s Layritz Turf. “I had 16 of my 19 girls present,’’ said coach Carina Heyes.

Cowichan U17 girls played Gorge U18 and won 3-1 on goals by Christina DeCarlo, Olivia Poirier and Amanda Wise. “It should have been more, but we kept shooting at the goalie,’’ noted coach Greg Poirier.

Figure skater Ellison sets top mark for Athlete of the Week video viewings

SPORTS WATCh

Marina Ellison’s popularity knows no bounds. The Fuller Lake Figure Skating Club member from Duncan has set the record for the most viewings of her Youth Athlete of the Week video with 932 as of Thursday afternoon. That easily surpassed the previous

high of 824 by Duncan Dynamics Gymnastics Club member Coral Strugnell. Her profile first came out April 1. Ellison’s profile appeared online Sept. 26 and in the News Leader Pictorial on Oct. 2. She did a great job on the video of explaining the different elements of her long program and talked about her

love for both figure skating and field hockey. She also skated the majority of her long program on the video. Each week, the News Leader Pictorial’s Youth Athlete of the Week is featured in an online video and in the paper. — Don Bodger

Training Wheels put their spin on roller derby

Starting early: Boot camp gives enthusiastic kids an inside scoop Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

hey’re starting them early in roller derby. A Training Wheels boot camp was held Sunday at Cowichan Exhibition’s Mellor Hall for skaters 11 years of age and younger under the direction of Brass Knuckles Derby Dames women’s team members. The average age of the participants was more like seven or eight, according to Kelly Brown-Corby, one of the Derby Dames coaches who goes by the roller name of Pain Kill’her. Amanda (Miss B Haven) Gould, Monica Arthurs (known as Angel O’deth), Dana Kolosoff (who goes by Dana Might) and Tammy Miller (a.k.a. Trixie McDinglehopper) were also there from the Derby Dames to provide expert coaching for the youngsters, including one boy. Lexi Corby, one of the most experienced younger skaters from the Candy Crushers junior team, who turns 14 Saturday, served as a referee, giving her a different perspective on the game. Five girls from the valley were among those learning the ropes in roller derby, with the rest from the Nanaimo area. The girls not only love the game, but also have an alter ego name. The locals with the roller derby names they’re going by included: Lily Laidlaw (Lil’ Pushin), Charlotte Aeichele (Char Lotta Pain), Cedar Davis (Cedar Beat ‘er), Maggie Fraser (Foxy 2 Fast) and Holly Mathews (Little Stomp Her). After some preliminary instruction, the players engaged in their first-ever scrimmage and were most impressive at figuring out the rules and when to execute their manoeuvres. Laidlaw is just six years old and said she wanted to take part in the sport “because I heard it was a lot of fun. It turned out to be lots of fun.’’ Laidlaw said she’s learned all kinds of

things such as how to work a Tomahawk. “I didn’t even know what it was,’’ she said. Lots of practice in the seven weeks she’s been involved in roller derby has given her a solid foundation. Her mom’s also a leader so she gets a lot of extra help on the side at home. Laidlaw said she also loves roller derby “because I get to dance and sometimes there’s music.’’ Aeichele, 7, had a connection to get her start. “My friend Cedar,’’ she said. “She played roller derby.’’ The French Immersion student at Ecole Mount Prevost Elementary is catching on to the skills quickly. “It’s good,’’ she said. T-stops and Tomahawks are just some of the things she’s learning how to do. Aeichele said she’s been skating for about six months and takes every opportunity for additional practice. “I sometimes skate on the hill by my house,’’ she said. “You can skate very fast.’’ Aeichele and the others certainly showed they can scoot around the track pretty fast at the Mellor Hall and keep their balance, just like the big girls do. But there were, of course, a few collisions during the scrimmage that split the group in two sides — the White team coached by Brown-Corby and the Black team coached by Arthurs. Miss B Haven introduced all the players before the scrimmage to make the experience of being at an actual roller derby game as authentic as possible for the kids. By the way the Duncan, Crofton and Nanaimo players on the Brass Knuckles are working on molding the youth, the sport will soon be developing some dynamite players ready to advance and excel at the higher levels of competition.

No rest for DCS boys in marathon VIU volleyball schedule Don Bodger

Andrew Leong/file

Peter Day has the DCS boys playing some very good volleyball this season.

arathon volleyball was played by the Duncan Christian School Chargers senior boys’ volleyball team en route to its 10th place finish out of 16 teams in the Vancouver Island University tournament. At one point on the final day, DCS played every hour on the hour at noon, 1 p.m., 2 and 3. The fact the boys still managed to stand tall in the finale, a 22-25, 16-25 setback against

Non-stop action: Four games in a row obviously takes a physical toll in the end

Woodlands of Nanaimo, was quite remarkable. “It was their fourth game in a row when they played Woodlands,’’ DCS coach Peter Day said of his exhausted troops. Pool play brought a secondplace finish “which was good for that tournament,’’ said Day. DCS defeated Parkland 2522, 25-18 and then beat Mark Isfeld 25-8, 25-20 before falling to Vanier, the No. 8 AAA team in the province, 23-25, 18-25.

The team went on to lose a tough match to Claremont 1525, 17-25. Claremont eventually made it to the final. DCS then didn’t leave the floor until after the Woodlands match was done, taking down Gulf Islands 25-19, 25-17 and Parkland again 25-21, 25-21 along the way. “We were probably the seventh or eighth strongest team in that tournament,’’ said Day. “We ended up ninth because we finished on the consolation

side. “I really think we were tired. Through the whole process, a decent weekend for the team of growing. Seeing better teams for the whole weekend was not too bad for a young team.’’ The first set against Vanier was a great example of the DCS team’s capabilities. Douglas Groenendijk returned to action from a foot injury for the tournament despite not being 100% and still excelled. He earned a spot on the all-star team. Groenendjik slowly worked himself back into the groove

in a defensive role when DCS played an exhibition game against Dover Bay at home before the tournament. DCS lost all three sets, but held its own and one of them was almost endless at 31-33. DCS is looking forward to getting back into predominantly single-A competition again in this weekend’s B.C. Christian Championships at Surrey Christian. “The top four seeds in the province are going to be at the tournament,’’ said Day. He expects DCS, ranked No. 5, will play at least three of them and possibly all four.
