aggie Feeley’s children meant everything to her.

That’s why close friends, such as Tara Gran, are astounded how caring Cowichan strangers — and folks in other communities — stepped up to fundraise for Feeley’s young kids after the valley traffic-flagger’s worksite death Oct. 21 in Duncan.

While WorkSafeBC investigates how Feeley, 29, died under a dump truck, Gran said it’s “unbelievable how people have come out, and communities are coming together.”

“I’ve met some of the most amazing women who are throwing themselves into this.”

“I’d like it to shine a light on my community colleagues because we’re all doing this — working with less, and making due.

“We provide full-service care, and that can’t be said for lots of places. It’s obviously a huge honour, and a bit of a celebration of the role we play in promoting community health, and elevating patient-physician relationships.”

Owl’loween

Haunting hoots: Why the owl has become a spooky season staple Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

n an-almost Exorcist fashion, these predators turn their heads 270 degrees.

Their creepy toes face forward and backward, allowing better captures.

And these spooky creatures have specialized feathers with fringes of varying softness to help muffle their movements.

“They don’t digest the bones of their prey, so after digesting the meat, the bones are coughed (or cast) up as a pellet,” explained Duncan’s Robyn Radcliffe of the 25 or so owls featured at the Pacific Northwest Raptors Centre on Herd Road.

The centre is currently hosting an Owl’loween event’ featuring nine species of the spooky owls that call the Herd Road location home, including a fairly new pair of majestic Snowy Owls.

“Owls are nocturnal predators and have often been associated with being spooky,” Radcliffe said. “Years ago people were terrified of owls, and associated them with death and doom, despite them playing such an important role in our ecosystems as top predators. I suppose this association and their nocturnal habits have made them a perfect fit with Halloween, just like the cat.”

Radcliffe could write a 10-page essay on the species.

“In general, owls are primarily nocturnal, although some species are diurnal. As a result, they have some great adaptations for hunting at night: excellent night vision, superior

Verdict in Shawnigan man’s death expected later this month The fate of Brandon Huth in the death of Shawnigan Lake’s Tyler Noble (left) two years ago is now “in the hands of the judge for a decision,’’ according to provincial Crown counsel Neil MacKenzie.

That decision on a charge of manslaughter against Huth will be delivered Nov. 18.

hearing, silent flight.”

PNWR’s owl flying demonstrations often include a great horned owl (Spock) and a barn owl (Ollie), and meet and greets are had with their snowy and spectacled (Elton) owls.

“We also have our snowy owls out for the first time,” Radcliffe said. “(They) arrived in the middle of the summer as chicks, and it was too hot for them to be outside, so they were living in a huge indoor aviary with air conditioning that was not on view. So we just moved them down to the centre so people can meet them up close, and we are just starting to get them going. Hopefully they will be flying in the next month or two.”

Owls prey on all sorts of animals, but are most well-known for hunting rodents, and in fact help to maintain the predator prey equilibrium in our ecosystems, Radcliffe said.

“Owls have large eyes for seeing well at night, which gives them often an interesting, questioning or attentive look.”

Maybe Harry Potter’s pet snowy owl Hedwig plays a part in the birdof-prey’s recent gain in popularity.

“They have recently become incredibly popular, which is awesome as long as people don’t start to think of them as pets, as they are not good pets at all,” said Radcliffe. “The old saying ‘wise old owl,’ is likely because they sit so still (primarily to avoid being seen) and watch things intently with large eyes. They are not particularly wise, however. But nonetheless, very good at what they do.”

A barn owl can swoop up to 1,000 mice each year, and many farmers try to attract them to help control their rodents.

“In medieval times people associated owls with death and persecuted them, killing so many the populations dropped significantly enough to see

Closing submissions were supposed to be heard Friday in Victoria Provincial Court by Justice Malcolm Macaulay, but carried over into Monday.

Noble died after an altercation outside a McDonald’s restaurant in November 2011.

Huth claims he was fearful for his safety

and acted in self-defence. Crown prosecutor Tim Stokes contends a blow directed at Noble that proved fatal was unprovoked.

“The court’s decision will involve an assessment of whether what took place was a consensul fight,” MacKenzie said.

Pacific Northwest Raptors centre’s Elton the spectacled owl is one of several birds of prey featured in the centre’s Owl’loween event that wraps up on Halloween. an explosion of rodent populations, which just so happened to coincide with the black plague,” Radcliffe said.

According to a What’s so scary about owls piece by Mike O’Connor, the Romans “would freak out if they saw an owl during the day.

“A daytime sighting of an owl was a bad omen, especially if a major battle was about to take place,” wrote O’Connor. “In fact, the fall of the entire Roman Empire probably can be attributed to some insomniac owl that left its roost too early one day.

“But why owls? Owls are soft, warm and fluffy, and just because they can

rip the head off a live animal and eat it in total darkness shouldn’t make them scary. Or does it?”

In Malaysia, O’Connor writes, it was thought owls ate newborn babies.

“I don’t think this one is much of a stretch. Great horned owls have been known to take prey as large as a woodchuck; therefore, it is conceivable that a large owl could go after a newborn. However, I don’t think that’s a good reason to be upset with the owl. If you have owls eating your kids, it’s time to think about getting a new babysitter.”

In the meantime, Radcliffe wants folks to know owls aren’t all doom

and gloom.

They’re the complete opposite rather.

“Basically the goal is to discuss owls and how incredible they are,” she said, noting demos are available up until Halloween day as part of the event, but can be organized anytime by calling the centre. “...People leave knowing more about owls in their backyard, and why they are so important to us and our ecosystems.

“Having an owl fly right over your heads is a pretty awesome way to showcase the silent flight of an owl, and the adaptations that make them such excellent nocturnal predators.”

Motorists can expect delays of up to 15 minutes, beginning Wednesday, on a seven-kilometre stretch of Highway 18.

Mainroad South Island Contracting crews will be working on the removal of overhanging trees. Work will be conducted Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. for about two weeks. Numerous trees are hanging over the highway, creating a safety hazard.

Mainroad is removing the trees to improve the safety factor in the event of snow bringing trees down across the highway while giving the road a better chance to dry out and providing motorists better visibility and increasing reaction time when wildlife crosses the highway.

The location for the work is on the west side of the highway, starting at Skutz Falls and ending at the Youbou junction road.

In the event of heavy rain or fog, the project may be postponed until conditions improve.

No jail time for bookkeeper who stole $200,000

Conditional sentence: Eighteen months for writing 253 cheques to herself Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

A

former bookkeeper found guilty of stealing $200,000 from the Cowichan Tribes Salmon Enhancement Project was spared jail time and received a conditional sentence.

Ernestine Elliott, 46, appeared before Judge A.F. Brooks in Duncan Provincial Court Sept. 30 to learn her fate after writing some 253 cheques to herself — money she was not entitled to — over a three-year period.

Brooks weighed the numerous aggravating and mitigating factors before passing sentence.

“It is acknowledged by both counsel that the facts are of a seriousness that a jail sentence is warranted,’’ noted Brooks in his written judgement. “The only issue between Crown and defence is whether that sentence can be served in the community under a conditional sentence order or ought to be served in a jail.’’

Brooks decided the sentence of imprisonment to be served in the community should be longer than

what the Crown or defence lawyer Scott Sheets suggested, opting for 18 months.

“This duration will serve as a much lengthier oversight of Ms. Elliott’s behaviour,’’ Brooks indicated.

He imposed numerous conditions on Elliott that must be met during the first 12 months, with the replacement of a house arrest term with a curfew and additional hours of community service for the final six months.

In making his determination, Brooks rejected Crown counsel Mark Rankin’s submission that a jail sentence was the only means to properly address the circumstances of the case.

“With the greatest of respect for a careful and thoughtful submission, I disagree with that analysis.

“First, the effect of that analysis in the circumstances of this case would be to focus on the principles of deterrence and denunciation to the exclusion of the other principles of sentencing.

“Second, the punishment would extend beyond what was fit if Ms. Elliott were incarcerated on the Lower Mainland so far from family and friends who would assist in her rehabilitation. Third, the conditions attached to a conditional sentence would achieve restorative goals that would not be achieved if Ms. Elliott were in an institution removed from her community.’’

Brooks noted there is no jail for women to serve their sentence on Vancouver island which meant she would be taken from the place she’s lived virtually all her life and separated from the ties that support her.

Brooks added Elliott does not have a prior criminal record and suggested circumstances of her upbringing are “not adequately captured by the word traumatic.

“Her absence of criminal record borders on astonishing when her background is taken into account.

Despite the presence of many stressors that lead to the commission of criminal offences, Ms. Elliott has not until this time committed any offense.

“The only conclusion to draw is that there is at Ms. Elliott’s core a person who can be a strong person that can withstand pressures to commit offenses.’’

Brooks indicated in his sentencing considerations that Elliott had received intimidating phone calls after her conviction and was forced to change her phone number.

The way the case was covered in the media also brought embarrassment and shame to Elliott, Brooks added, from information provided

by Sheets and not challenged by Crown.

You can read the complete account of Brooks’ findings at provincialcourt.bc.ca.

TIMBERWEST TO INSTALL TRUCK WASH STATION The condition of the roads near Youbou, and in particular those in proximity to residential areas, is important to TimberWest. This fall we are moving ahead with the installation of a truck wash station near Youbou.

We have researched numerous options and expect that a truck wash will substantially improve road cleanliness and provide relief to the residents of Youbou.

The truck wash station will be installed on a paved stretch of TimberWest private road west of Youbou. Site preparation will include clearing, paving and ballasting. Power will be run to the site and a well will be installed to supply water.

Recognizing the importance of water quality in the area, the truck wash station will operate as a closed loop system that recycles water through a holding tank.

We anticipate installation of the truck wash to be underway in December and operational in late 2013 or early 2014.

The installation is for industrial traffic and will not be suitable for public use.

We would like to thank CVRD Area Director, Pat Weaver and others in the community for working with TimberWest toward a solution to the mud and dust issue that we believe will provide a benefit to Youbou residents.

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 7

Chemainus Village gets warm welcome Grocery open, more coming: Community gets a sneak peek as shopping centre gets ready for business

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

A

s Chemainus Village Square nears completion, locals raved about the results during a recent taste-and-tour event.

“I’m extremely happy they’re using geothermal energy to heat all the building,” Diana Hardacker said of the $10-million development bounded by Oak, Pine, Daniel and Chemainus streets. “It’s not burning fossil fuels.”

Bryan Aaberg echoed her sentiments, signalling North Cowichan council could work with other developers to install green energy “if it’s possible.”

“These buildings are nicely spaced, too,” he noted.

Some unique buildings in the glass, metal, and steel village — resembling canneries or warehousing — have been leased by anchor tenants 49th

Parallel Foods, Island Savings, Pharmasave, and the Village Liquor Store.

Len Wansbrough, of developer Metropolitan Capital Partners, said some 35,000 of the project’s 62,000 square feet is leased, and only about 4,000 square feet is left to build on his formerly vacant four-acre site.

Now they’re hunting for more tenants such as doctors, dentists, accountants, chiropractors, lawyers, and eateries.

Some folks even suggested a brew pub would suit the Village’s upbeat ambiance.

“Things that serve the community,” summed Wansbrough.

Community grocery needs are paramount to 49th Parallel owners Wayne and Peter Richmond. Wayne said his new Village Square store, boasting wood beams and industrial metal fixtures, offers shoppers 21,500 square feet of choice. That’s about four times bigger than 49th’s current store in old town

Peter W. Rusland

49th Parallel’s Kathy Richmond and Peter Richmond are celebrating the opening of the family’s new Chemainus Village store.

Chemainus, near the ferry terminal.

“We’ll renovate it as a satellite,” he said of the landmark waterfront location being renamed the 49th Parallel General Store.

He aims to continue serving nearby folks and ferry traffic, while keeping town character with his circa-1940s building.

Son Peter said the new operation, which opened for business Monday, will

employ close to 50, after current hiring.

The Village Square concept also impressed George Gates, interim president of the Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce.

“I love the idea,” he said, applauding the accent on keeping dollars, jobs and municipal taxes in Mural Town by filling local needs.

“A White Spot in here would be awesome.”

Cairnsmore Lodge gets a makeover

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

W

hite wainscoting, fresh blue paint, and cheery curtains greeted locals touring some $600,000 worth of room renovations at Cairnsmore Place Wednesday.

New fixtures, bedside tables, some new flooring and walls, plus energy-efficient windows were all part of work that also saw hazardous mould and asbestos pulled from rooms that are currently home to Cairnsmore’s 96 senior residents, explained Darren Titus of Island Health project services.

Makeovers of the 33 rooms will be done by next year, he said of what Island Health brass said breaks down to $18,000 per room from taxpayers.

Folks from the Tea and Tour saw tired-looking rooms slated for revamps, then those already finished by carpenters, plumbers and painters.

The idea explained by Titus, and Linda Gary of Gary Interiors and Window Treatments, was to give residents a home-style abode.

“We went for an old-time style rather than an institutional look,” said Titus.

A bottle drive hosted by Island Return-it at Cowichan Secondary School on Saturday for Maggie Feeley was a huge success. The total raised was still pending at press time.

— indicated money donated to date, through some 14 community groups and families, was a good bang for the buck.

“It looks wonderful,” she said.

Cowichan District Hospital Foundation’s Amy Trippe Brophy explained $34,000 of a $46,000 goal for draperies had been raised, with more money coming in.

The foundation, and partner the Duncan Auxilliary, will split any shortfall, she said. Folks can donate by calling 250-701-0399.

Denise Brownlee of the Order of the Eastern Star’s Sunset Chapter, that contributed $500 toward room draperies, agreed the room results are great.

“It looks clean and fresh and lovely. It’s an investment for

people in something they may (eventually) use.”

Titus explained the makeovers started about 18 months ago involving as little disruption to residents as possible.

Mould in some walls adjacent to janitors areas, plus some asbestos, saw some crews in haz-suits remove the potential toxins.

Asbestos was also found in drywall mud and elsewhere, he explained.

Still, Brophy was satisfied with the work.

“Cairnsmore is a wonderful facility, with a dedicated caring staff creating a great residence and homelike environment for our friends, neighbours and family members in this community.”

NOTICE OF APPLICATION TO VOLUNTEER AS A SCRUTINEER THETIS ISLAND RESIDENTS AND RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION ANNUAL FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION SERVICE AMENDMENT REFERENDUM On Saturday December 7, 2013, qualified electors of the Thetis Island Residents and Ratepayers Association Annual Financial Contribution Service Area, within a portion of Electoral Area G – Saltair/ Gulf Islands, will be voting on the following question:

Now she’s hoping to raise money for Feeley’s funeral.

“I am reaching out to the community for help. If any of your organizations are able to financially help the family to cover funeral expenses, we would greatly appreciate it.

“We are struggling to give Maggie a service she deserves, and to give some closure to her children family and friends,” states Gran’s email.

Funeral costs and service details were pending at press time, while Gran was grieving the loss of her pal.

“She was one of my extremely close friends. Her children and my daughter go camping all together — it’s been a tough go.”

Feeley was a sweet gal, Gran said.

“She was a really fun-loving gal, and a very hard worker. She worked hard to make sure her kids had what they desired in life.”

Feeley’s kids are her legacy, Gran said.

“It was them that she woke up for in the morning.”

Feeley was also proud to be a flagger on risky roads.

“She loved her job and the people she worked with, but came home in tears about how people (drivers) treated flag-

Light emerges from Youbou’s 10-year dust cloud Wednesday, October 30, 2013

At long last: TimberWest says community should have a truck wash by early next year Malcom Chalmers

News Leader Pictorial

A

re the days of dusty whiteouts and splattered mud finally over?

Youbou residents have been promised a truck wash by the end of December, or early January of next year.

Even though the CVRD rescinded a $5,000 contribution to help build the truck wash earlier this year, TimberWest along with the other logging companies that use Youbou Road, have decided to build one on their own.

TimberWest has confirmed construction of a closed-loop truck wash on its land approximately two kilometres west of Youbou.

Despite a long battle to get to this point, or perhaps because of it, some are still taking a wait-and-see position.

Youbou resident Trish Waddington said she remains tentative about starting any celebrations.

“It took a long time coming,” she said.

“Anything is better than nothing but it has to do the job, if it doesn’t do the job then we are back to square one.”

Pat Weaver, director for Youbou/Meade Creek, however, is elated, and said the news comes with a bonus.

“Because the logging trucks are not the only vehicles using the road they (TimberWest) will continue to seal-coat four to five kilometres of their road and sweep Youbou Road when needed,” she said.

The proposed closed loop system should be environmentally sound, it will be able to recapture the used water and contaminants washed off the trucks then filter and reuse it.

That will keep oil and greases from contaminating the lake and use much less fresh water.

TimberWest declined comment prior to a media release that had yet to be issued by press time.

Youbou Director Pat Weaver is elated.

The issue of summer logging truck dust billowing and winter mud splattering on Youbou’s main road and residential properties has been plaguing Youbou since the closure of its sawmill more than 10 years ago.

Pompeo sentence must confirm the system’s integrity

Police shooting: Judge must walk a fine line

S

tarting tomorrow, in a Duncan courtroom, the community may finally be able to observe a conclusion to one of the more troubling local court cases in recent memory.

We say “may finally” because the investigation, trial and sentencing of David Pompeo has been stretched, postponed and rescheduled so often, Pompeo may be collecting his police pension before it wraps up.

The basic facts of the case are wellknown: Pompeo, a North Cowichan/ Duncan officer, was eventually convicted of aggravated assault after he shot Bill Gillespie during a relatively Community routine traffic stop. needs to be What is still unknown, more than four years after the shooting, is what watching consequences a police officer may face closely for shooting an unarmed, non-threatening man in his own driveway.

Suggestions of political influence will inevitably dog such a case, and in this case they have been fed by the frequent delays. But delays are part of the system, and until that system changes we will have to live within its confines.

The question of justice will ultimately rest with the sentence.

Marvin Antoniuk Jr. is scheduled to be sentenced for the exact same crime in December (less than a year after he shot his father with an arrow in Maple Bay).

And comparisons need to be made.

The circumstances may be different, but the crime is the same.

Police officers work in a risky, stressful environment. We want our court system to recognize that. At the same time, we want our court system to also recognize cops are highly trained professionals who are expected to be able to recognize a threat — or lack thereof — and respond accordingly.

The community needs to be watching this decision closely.

We say:

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

This we like

After the success the Ecole Mt. Prevost school community had improving Duncan Elementary when it was at that location, it comes as no surprise to see them already in the semi-finals of the Aviva community fund competition.

Come Dec. 2, when the next round of voting occurs, we expect the community to be online in full force bidding to win a large grant and build a community park at the school.

Prevost students lobby Aviva for grant money.

It’s important to ensure time doesn’t let us forget Karl Yu

ased on the headlines, a lot of war veterans are feeling slighted and disrespected that a number of Veterans Affairs offices across the country are set to be closed.

War veterans are expressing unhappiness at the closures and feel a sense of betrayal as they served and sacrificed for the country.

It’s easy to see why.

They put their lives on the line in foreign and dangerous environments, and suffered a number of physical and mental ailments because of the traumatic situations they endured.

Remembrance Day is approaching and the number of veterans from the Second World War is dwindling, a symptom of the passage of time.

Since survivors from those wars are passing on, it makes it all the more important not to

forget their sacrifice.

Children are taught about the wars in school, people buy poppies and that is a good thing.

But there is something more than just life lost when a veteran passes away – someone with a genuine experience of war is lost as well.

War is often glamourized, whether in movies, television programs or video games.

But it is one thing to have virtual or computer-animated bullets whizzing by one’s head.

It is another to have actually experienced fighting in Kandahar, Normandy, Dieppe or Passchendaele, with people dying around you, and the fear that you might be the next to die.

It is key that the memory of those who serve the country is not forgotten and thankfully, the sacrifice of local soldiers is not being forgotten locally.

Local members of the Royal Canadian

It’s always tough when tragedy hits the community.

Perhaps it was the fact she was a young mother of three, perhaps it was kinship many feel for the smiling flaggers they frequently pass on our roads, but the death of Maggie Feeley seemed to really strike a chord with Cowichan residents. The response to a number of charity drives in the community is all the evidence you need.

BC VIEWS

Legion say veterans are in demand to make presentations to schools in the weeks leading to Remembrance Day — their tales giving students a small snapshot into what it is like to serve the country.

The Legion in Lantzville and the District of Lantzville are doing its part to ensure the sacrifice of soldiers is not forgotten.

This small community is taking a step many other communities took years ago.

It is working on a war memorial that will consist of a cenotaph and a path of remembrance, which will have plaques bearing the names of veterans (living or dead) as well as names of first responders.

The memorial is located in Huddlestone Park on Lantzville Road, an area that sees a fair amount of traffic and will not only serve as a reminder during Remembrance Day ceremonies but also during the other 364 days of the year.

The physical and mental wounds that

members of our armed forces suffer don’t heal in a day and in fact, some never fully heal, adding to the importance of never forgetting the sacrifice of veterans living, and veterans that have passed on.

It takes a lot of courage to enlist and go into battle, whether it’s the First World War, Second World War or Afghanistan.

Soldiers and members of the armed forces risk their lives and well-being, and it’s good to remember them.

There is a difference between actually experiencing war and battle and watching a movie or playing a video game.

There isn’t a substitute for real life in this situation.

Do you eat farmed salmon?

“No. A big part of that is due to the diseases spread by farmed salmon. We want to keep farmed salmon out of rivers.”

Cynthia McCreery, Hazelton, B.C.

“No. They’re renowned for spreading diseases into wild fish. It’s too hard to farm them efficiently without spreading diseases.”

Showroom a treasure worthy of more support

Kind smile will be missed on Beverly Street

Dear editor I live on Beverly Street. Throughout this construction the flaggers have all been kind and conscientious to the residents of Beverly Street. Most wave you through with a wave and a smile. I can’t help but wonder which one of these nice people this horrible thing happened to. My family’s thoughts go out to their friends and family. It’s too early to talk about strengthening of safety procedures.

It’s a sad day.

In my opinion: it’s a downtown icon

Requiem for Fisherboy: Friends rally to help local sailor replace his capsized home

Cowichan seniors get advice from the experts

eorge Weeks’ soft blue eyes behind spectacles betray a bittersweetness about the loss of Fisherboy II, his floating home in Cowichan Bay. The June 4 afternoon sinking of 42-foot Fisherboy, in the bay’s estuary log-boom area, stung Weeks.

“It was just lousy luck,” he said.

“It was like the Titanic.”

But Fisherboy’s salvaging, through generosity from locals, deeply touched Weeks, who has been a bay salt for nearly three decades.

He aims to continue calling the bay home aboard his new craft, 32foot Sea Gypsy.

She was bought with some $10,000 raised by his many friends who supported a campaign dubbed Let’s Keep George Afloat.

“Fisherboy had no insurance, and it was a total loss,” said Weeks, 76, grateful for local help that started the moment Fisherboy sunk.

Efforts continue at george-oldmanofthesea.com.

“People in this community down here are absolutely wonderful, the pub was packed.”

George Weeks’ uninsured boat Fisherboy is being replaced thanks to the generosity of the Cowichan Bay community.

Peter W. Rusland

The summer’s Bay Pub benefit helped Weeks shop for Sea Gypsy. She’s sitting on a trailer in Chemainus where Weeks is swapping its big Chrysler gas motor for a diesel one. Donations are helping that refit.

“Lots of people just send me money. Apparently I’ve helped a lot of people in this area in the past 25 years, and they say it’s payback time; good news from a helluva community.”

That seagoing community worked all of

June 5 trying to get air bags under foundered Fisherboy, while some $3,000 was raised for Weeks within 24 hours.

Those were tense yet blurry hours for Weeks. He thanked God no one aboard was killed when sturdy Fisherboy keeled over in the freak accident.

“I was taking some Chinese people out for a couple of hours around the bay, and took them to see baby seals on the (Western Forest Products) booms.

Cover Story

“They’d been yarding sinkers (logs) out of the alleyways, and two didn’t get to deep water.”

Somehow Weeks drove Fisherboy onto the low-tide apex of those two soggy logs.

Weeks figured Fisherboy would do “a balancing act’ on the logs until the tide nudged her free. more on page 15

Proposal to have hospice operations funded by local government rejected by the UBCM Ashley Degraaf

District recently went all in, asking the provincial government if it would change legislation to fund both local hospice care’s capital and operational costs.

Unfortunately for them, it didn’t get the support

it wanted from local government. A motion recently brought to the September UBCM conference table, was passed but stripped of the operational funding portion. That means local hospice funding is finding

itself back in its present funding situation.

“It would be very interesting to have an option for hospice funding in this budget line and we are hopeful that this will open a door for a regional partnership with the health

authority,” executive director Gretchen Hartley said before the decision.

“Cowichan Valley Hospice has received regional-grants-in-aid in the past two years from the CVRD,” explained Hartley. “We have

asked that they consider providing some ongoing operational funding.

“The CVRD is very supportive of the work of hospice but would also like to encourage increased partnership with our health authority.

Therefore, CVRD directors voted in the spring to take a motion to the Union of B.C. Municipalities that, if passed by the members, will ask the province to allow regional hospital boards to also support hospices with operational and capital funding.”

That didn’t play out.

“There was apparently some resistance to this resolution at the UBCM on the part of municipalities who see this motion as downloading from provincial to local governments,” Hartley said.

“For our part (hospice), we are very interested in the opportunity for this type of partnership between our community and VIHA. “We received a $50,000 grant-in-aid from the CVRD last year as anchor funding for our services, which have received limited funding from VIHA thus far, also in the form of one-time grants. I hope that we will be able to secure hospice services in the future with ongoing funding from both these sources, naturally with VIHA as

the main funder.”

Sahtlam/Glenora Director Loren Duncan admitted it’s not going to be easy to get the provincial government to cross the line between capital and operational funding.

But at the same time, Duncan is 100% behind giving the feds a little push.

“We’ve certainly kicked the ball over to them,” Duncan said. “We should have a nice hospice facility.

“If we had a nice hospice facility, and a new hospital, couldn’t our new hospital be built smaller?”

Duncan asked.

“What would the size and cost difference be, if that hospital wasn’t plugged up with hospice candidates? The logic is sound, but it’s so far out there. But it needs to be said.”

Cowichan Valley Hospice serves about 800 people a year.

Ten years ago, it had fewer than 100 people use its services per year.

“We work closely with other partners in the community including VIHA’s hospital and community based services for people living with advancing illness and at the end of life,” Hartley said.

“Our bereavement services also provide care for people referred through VIHA’s mental health programs.”

Everything lost in the sinking

from page13

“It fell on its side and filled with water almost instantly.

“It went over in a big lurch. Everything in the boat tore loose: all the cupboards opened and drawers shot out; all the tools went flying to the other side; the deep freezer tore loose and went over the side,” he remembered sadly.

“Everything was lost.”

Salt water ruined his electronics. It also buckled the wood paneling in the vintage 1942 boat Weeks bought in ‘98.

All his possessions are coated in thick, black oil — including “every tool imaginable” collected

by Weeks, his father and grandfather.

Weeks’ stunned passengers were rescued by another boat. Three days of pumping out water were needed before Fisherboy was dry enough to float her back dockside.

“We’re stripping out any stuff good enough, then sending her to salvage,” he said.

But buoyant Weeks is salvaging his beloved seagoing life.

“I’ve bent a few boats, but never sunk one before.”

His 50 seagoing years span census taking and patrolling for federal Fisheries, mixed with steam-engineering shifts at various coastal mills, including Crofton where he ran the recovery boiler.

Weeks appreciated the $500 good omen, donated by his rescued passengers.

“They figured they caused me bad luck, and by paying for it, it changes back again.”

Meanwhile, Weeks expected slightly bigger living quarters aboard Fiberglas, single-deck sedan-cruiser Sea Gypsy.

“There’s no 30-tonne hold for all my junk,” he noted. “What the hell did I need all those tools for?”

Weeks can be called at 250-709-5496. Cheques toward his project can be sent to: George Weeks, Box 27, Cowichan Bay, B.C., V0R-1N. Interac e-transfer via online banking can be sent to georgeofthesea@ gmail.com, or use a credit card via PayPal.

Women & Financial Health — Andrew Leong

Times have changed. In the 21st century, women are retiring differently than previous generations. Almost half of Canadian Women over 65 are divorced or widowed and on average, women live about 5 years longer than men* requiring women to be financially well-informed. It’s time to plan YOUR retirement.

FEMALE EARNING POWER We’ve made great strides and broken glass ceilings, but there are still significant differences between men’s and women’s earnings. You may also have taken a few years off to care for children.

With lower lifetime earnings, many women have less money saved.

A LONGER RETIREMENT Women tend to retire younger

and live longer than men. That means there is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a longer retirement. However, you must plan very carefully to ensure your wealth is available for your entire life.

PLAN FOR THE FUTURE Woman today are better prepared for retirement, better educated, and more financially independent. Women are more likely to enlist the assistance of a financial advisor in planning their retirement – a strong step in the right direction.

I would be happy to provide a second opinion on your current plan or help you get started on your future.

Intelligent aging is here to stay One hundred take part: Day of workshops focuses on health and wellness

F

olks involved in the recent Intelligent Aging Advisory Panel think they’ve found their place assisting Cowichan Valley seniors.

Panel president Leslie Peterson was quite pleased this week following a conference the group hosted Oct. 24 featuring a plethora of seniors-related topics.

The event — marketed to meet the challenges of aging by accessing specialists who provide services to seniors and open to anyone over 50 years of age, folks preparing for retirement, or those caring for a loved one — was a smashing success with close to 100 Cowichanians in attendance.

It was the panel’s second year hosting the free event.

“When we first set out to do this event, it was meant to be a home show-style event, where people could drop in at whatever time suited them,” said Peterson. “They might catch a talk or two.

“But what we’ve been finding through the event and through feedback is people are staying for the entire day.”

The conference ran from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and featured several 20-minute talks on things such as taxes, the connection between hearing loss and dementia, medicine cabinets and incorporating exercise into daily routines.

“When I first moved to the valley, I looked for seniors-focused health and wellness events,” said Peterson, a registered audiologist and owner of

Act Hearing and Audiology. “There wasn’t currently anything going on.

So we formed a little group.”

And since then, IAAP has become a network of local professionals and business owners who provide advice and quality referrals to seniors and their families.

Participating businesses include Act Hearing, Nurse Next Door Home Care Services, Julia E. Henderson, barrister and solicitor, certified professional consultant on aging Chuck Thompson, BCRPA

certified personal trainer Susan Elo, Dewar McCarthy & Company, Mann’s Pharmacy, Ease-ability, and Island Mediquip.

Their conference will now be a yearly fixture in the community.

“There’s kind of something for everyone,” said Peterson. “It’s the start of a network of referrals and providing seniors in the valley a good referral base.”

Hunter’s lines grace theatre lobby

For the love of the fretboard

International Guitar Night: Global tour born right here in Duncan News Leader Pictorial

T

he Cowichan Theatre feels like home to International Guitar Night’s host-fretman Brian Gore.

“It’s the place where it all started,” he said from Vancouver about Saturday’s bill starring Italy’s Pino Forastiere, Argentina’s Quieque Sinesi, and the U.K.’s Mike Dawes.

“I think the first time we played in Duncan was 1998 or ‘99.”

That’s when Gore and Cowichan Folk Guild’s former artistic director, Brent Hutchinson,

Trick or treats

Tammie Hunter’s Common Threads: The November show at the Cowichan Theatre lobby explores Hunter’s unique style in which she uses black lines in her paintings. Although her style has progressed through the years, this common thread is still recognizable in her work, a signature that often fills the canvas.

The Cowichan Theatre Gallery is open for public viewings one hour prior to show times or see Tammie’s work at whitecapart.com. To contact the artist: swimfan62@hotmail.com or call 250-709-9690.

American Brian Gore, Italy’s Pino Forastiere, Quieque Sinesi of Argentina and the U.K.’s Mike Dawes (right, from top) are the maestros ready to unleash their guitar wizardry Saturday at the Cowichan Theatre.

Peter W. Rusland

Wednesday, October 30, 2013

spawned a fret event that’s truly gone global.

“We’ve used the theatre to record our live CDs,” the Santa Cruz-based composer said.

“They’re fantastic, and they’ve been a big success.”

IGN 2013 sees the guys perform 10 Canadian dates, plus 21 next year across the states.

Saturday will hear solo work, and varied pairings of the quality quartet.

“Each player has his own style, and an instrument to match his style,” said Gore, 50. “Mine’s from (luthier) Carter Poulsen of Santa Cruz.”

Forastiere is described by New York critic John Schaefer as “a mix of Steve Reich’s interlocking rhythmic patterns meets Michael

Hedges’ techniques, all while admiring Eddie Van Halen.”

“Pino is very intricate, with an extended technique,” said Gore.

Press material says Sinesi “is considered one of the most important guitarists in Argentina for his personal style that incorporates elements of jazz, classical, improv and world music.”

“Hearing Quieque will be really special — with folkloric music and some tango,” noted Gore.

Brit Dawes, a 20-something player, is said to be “completely spellbinding,” remarked the Evening Post. The International Guitar Foundation simply called Dawes’ skill “incredible.”

“Mike’s up-and-coming with youtube footage with millions of views,” Gore said of the “very tasteful arranger.”

Gore described his own fingerstyle playing as “very smooth and melodic.”

News & Review said Gore’s got “one of the most unique new acoustic guitar styles on the scene today.”

His booking of stellar talent has evolved after IGN1 was successful in Duncan, he explained.

“When we first started out doing the shows in Duncan, we kind of pieced things together just for that particular night.

“From Duncan, I got a booking agent. Now we’re a touring act on two continents,” Gore said of North America and the British Isles.

“That means we have to pick players well in advance, and keep one lineup for each season.

“There’s also a synergy created when people commit to doing a tour — that creates a bond between the players and makes the show better.”

Scary Halloween Screenings: Scary films leading to the Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight, 7 p.m., Duncan Garage Showroom, 201-330 Duncan Street, Duncan. Tickets by donation.

Call 250-748-7246.

His three guests are likely making Canadian debuts Saturday in the string-genre with loyal fans.

“The misconception is that the guitar is something not a lot of people are into — but next to the voice, it’s the most popular instrument out there,” Gore said.

“We’ve shown that working under a collective banner we can have a good turnout, and we do that in lots of different places.

“One thing we really proved early on in Duncan was that people thought guitar was an insider sport for fellow guitar geeks like me, and no one would come to a large-scale show — or they had to be a headliner to draw a huge crowd.”

Part of IGN’s popularity spills from Gore and his guests doing their homework “well in advance” by talking about songs, comparing ideas, then practising together.

“We’re flexible enough for us to bring out our own style and sensibility to it — you’ll hear something at the show you may never hear again.”

“We won’t blast your ears out, but we will blow you mind,” said Gore.

Extra! The News Leader Pictorial is running a contest to win two IGN tickets — plus a private guitar lesson with a performer of the winner’s choice the following morning. Call 250-7464471.

Spooktacular promises to make you die laughing Nick Bekolay

News Leader Pictorial

A Nick Bekolay

Ken Morrison, Marie Chambers, George Davison and Barry Patchett guarantee laughter will be had when their Halloween Spooktacular takes centre stage at the Mount Brenton Golf Club Oct. 31–Nov. 3.

crew of Chemainus seniors is planning a tribute to Halloween that’s as sultry as it is spooky.

Spooktacular — a comical Addams Family tribute infused with a touch of burlesque — premieres Halloween night, director and producer Dawn Adams said.

The show revolves around Fester Addams’ return from the Bermuda Triangle — via a seance — with an entourage of supernatural friends in tow.

Comic hijinks ensues when Fester and

company pay a visit to This Blood’s For You, a Transylvanian burlesque club staffed by vampires.

The hip-shaking, rump-smacking dance number that follows is guaranteed to raise a few eyebrows as a cast of “vamps and burlesque queens” snakes its way through the crowd, draping boas around audience members’ necks.

Cameos by witches, ghouls and familiar Addams Family members — including Michael Pickard as “gorgeous” Gomez and Carol Fowler as the “marvelous” Mortisha — round out a show that’s “so comical you’ll die laughing,” Adams said.

Spooktacular will feature a costume contest,

too, Adams said, offering one and all a chance to “dress up, dress down — scare all the folks in town!”

Spooktacular runs from Thursday, Oct. 31 through Sunday, Nov. 3 at the Mount Brenton Golf Club.

Sunday’s show has already sold out, but tickets are still available for the troupe’s first three showings. Cocktails will be served at 5 p.m. with a deluxe buffet dinner — crafted

by Clubhouse Catering — scheduled for 6 p.m. The curtain rises at 7 p.m.

Tickets cost $25 per person and are available at the Mount Brenton Golf Club, Chemainus Foods and 49th Parallel Grocery in Chemainus.

Duncan embraced the macabre this weekend during the lead-up to Halloween. Among the spooky sights (clockwise from bottom left): Pyramid Head goes after a zombie (Josh Sinclair) during the Cowichan Community Options Society’s annual Halloween Zombie Walk fundraiser Saturday at Charles Hoey Park; Beny Langa was among 20 Canada World Youth program visitors from Mozambique carving 100 pumpkins last Wednesday to decorate the B.C. Forest Discovery Centre; a machine gun-toting member of the Umbrella Corporation West Coast Operation participates in the Zombie Walk; Fred Jimmy portrays a witch doctor, Kieran Bainbridge, 10, plays dead as a zombie and Sasquatch had his hands full with nine-month-old pirate Taylor Lachman at the Downtown Duncan Spooktacular costume contest at Duncan city square on Saturday; Zombie Bride (Kira Keir) makes a visit to the cemetery site, one of the popular attractions at the Halloween Train event at the B.C. Forest Discovery Centre.

SWAN, Leonard Edward 26 Jan. 1926 to 23 Oct. 2013 This beloved man, the patriarch of his family, blessed many lives for 87+ years.

Left to miss him is Margaret, his wife of 60 years; Joanelle (Ken), Brian (Pat), Wendy (Nick), and Reginald (Tesa); his grandchildren: Alisa, Janina (Morgan), and Andria Wiebe; Bill and Kristy Fielding; and one great grandchild, also his namesake, Silas Edward. He leaves his siblings Wesley, Donald, and Mary and many dear cousins—both Burdges and Swans—and friends in Alberta, BC, and England. A man of faith, he had many church friends as well as associates in the farming community.

Although born in England, Dad loved Alberta where he spent his childhood. Always conscientious and hard working, he started milking cows at 8 years of age.

Dad, his father, and Wes had the last raw milk home delivery route in Victoria. He then moved to Cobble Hill where he continued to dairy farm until his “retirement� when he kept chickens and gardened until the last month of his life.

A celebration of his life is to take place on 9 November at 1 p.m. at the Duncan Christian Reformed Church; reception following on site.

H.W. Wallace 5285 Polkey Rd. 250-701-0001 FORREST, Charles J FIMI Oct. 8, 1938 – Oct. 16, 2013 Charles was eldest son of John and Christina Forrest, born in Govan, Glasgow, Scotland. He passed away quietly and with dignity in the Cowichan District Hospital after a short intense illness. He is survived by his one true love, Sheila, his daughters Karen (Mark) Turner and Elaine (Richard), his grandchildren, Kathryn and William Turner, his brother Ian and several cousins, nieces and nephews in Scotland and Canada.

Charles had a long and distinguished career in the Automotive Industry beginning in 1957 when he graduated from the Engineering College in Auto Mechanics. He was a heavy truck mechanic in the RAF and did a tour of duty in Cyprus.

After immigrating to Victoria in 1970, he became a Marine Power Mechanic on the W.J. Stewart for the Hydrographic Department of the Federal Government. In 1971, he returned to the Automotive Industry when he joined Metro Toyota Ltd., a career that lasted until he retired in 2008. An important member of the team at Metro and with the Jim Pattison Automotive group, Charles received many awards for Excellence in Parts and Service Management and Customer Service from Toyota Canada. For himself, a highpoint in his career was when he achieved his FIMI, Fellowship in the Institute of the Motor Industry.

Charles Forrest was so much more than a knowledgeable and distinguished ‘car’ guy. First and foremost he was a devoted and loving husband, marrying Sheila on June 6, 1961. A great father to Karen and Elaine, he was not above a good snowball fight, piggy back rides or camping in Tofino. He supported and encouraged his daughters, grand-children and “guidsons� to be the very best they could be and was proud of all the achievements they made. An avid photographer, he pursued photography and darkroom techniques with the same enthusiasm that he approached life in general. He loved RC models, building, flying and driving them. He enjoyed woodwork and helping his neighbors with special projects.

He will be missed the most for his wry sense of humor, laughter and the light that he brought to everyday life. Always positive, although sometime stubborn, he was the best of fathers, the greatest of mentors to many and a man of great character and integrity. All of these things made him successful in life.

We say good-bye, with love and know that in our memories, Charles will always be with us.

In lieu of flowers, if wishing, donations may be made to the Cowichan Hospital Foundation.

A Celebration of Life will be held on November 2, 2013 at 1:00pm at the Vancouver Island Greek Community Society Hall, 4648 Elk Lake Dr, Victoria BC.

Always Remembered George A. Morris Dec 1, 1923 ~ Oct 26, 2013 It is with great sadness we announce the passing George Morris at Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan on October 26, 2013. George was the last of his generation and predeceased by his four siblings. He was also predeceased by his eldest daughter Janis in 2005. George will be lovingly remembered by his wife Muriel of 64 years; children Penny (Douglas), Dale (Rita) and Sandy (Maureen); six grandchildren Cathy, Chris, Steven, Kelly, Christina and Nathan; four great-grandchildren Tyler, Austin, Matthew and Konor. George was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. At the age of seventeen, he enlisted with the Canadian Army and served in Europe for five years during WWII. His regiment was the first on site to liberate a death camp. After the war, he returned to Winnipeg and became an electrician, working at Burns Meat Packing, Pine Falls and the Crofton Pulp Mill. George met his wife Muriel in 1949 after a courtship of three months, married and raised four children. The family moved to BC in 1967. Dad was active in Air Cadets, teaching target shooting to many young men. He was also active with the Masonic Lodge and the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #53.

A memorial service will be held at Sands Funeral Chapel, 187 Trunk Road in Duncan, BC on Friday, November 1, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Donations in memory of George may be made to a charity on ones’ choice. A private family interment was held at Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens.

SANDS of DUNCAN 250-746-5212 HUTCHINSON, William Jeffery 15 Dec., 1928 - 16 Oct., 2013 Survived by his wife, Dr. Sandra Sudmant, and family members who reside in British Columbia, Scotland and England.

Jeff was born in the house of his parents at Gosforth, Newcastle, Northumbria, England on the 15th day of December, 1928.

As a young man he joined the Royal Navy, serving from 1947 until 1949. He immigrated to Canada in 1950 and joined the R.C.A.F. His military career as a transport pilot took him around the world. Flying the Hercules Transport C-130 on missions to trouble zones like Korea, Kashmir and Cyprus, he became part of the renowned Canadian Peacekeepers. In 1988 the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces, and Jeff, along with those who served with him, was named as sharing the honour. A modest man, he rarely mentioned the recognition of his contribution, and many who knew him were unaware of this part of his history. In 1974 he ended his military career, retiring as a Squadron Leader. During the ensuing years, (1974-1986) Jeff flew for the Department of Transport as a check pilot. Flying across the country, he felt a particular attraction to the Arctic and Coastal B.C., hearing the siren call of ocean scattered with islands, and determined to live on the Pacific side of the continent. He landed into full retirement on Saltspring Island, then later in Duncan. He loved to look out across the water and monitor the passing boats. His life settled into happy quiet routine, the enjoyment of literature, travelogues and walks along native trails. He was a learned reader as well as a devoted cryptic crossword player. He loved the hunt for words, and kept a reference library devoted to the cause. All who knew him recognized him as a gentleman of thoughtful good taste and kind consideration. His last days ended as he wished, shared lovingly with Sandy beside him. He walked along the beach watching the water lift the boats at their mooring. He settled into his favourite chair. Just as life began for Jeff at home, so too, it quietly ended, his last breath taken in the comforting surround of home.

BROTHERSTON, Wendy Enough tears and grief to fill an ocean leaving heavy hearts washing on shore.

On October 7th we approached the LCVFD about joining in to assist us with a fundraiser for the Newman Family. Without hesitation they were on board and that night the NEWMAN Family Fundraiser was in the works. We simply cannot express our thanks to each and everyone of you for helping make this such a success. Our goal was 3 months worry free for the family or about $12,000.00.

The total reached in those 12 days was $33,644.00. Thank you to the businesses, the individuals, the service clubs, and the volunteers. It warms our hearts to know that along with the Cowichan Valley it was Vancouver Island as a whole that has come together and shown support in a time of need.

Shawnigan rowers bask in the glory of Boston Head of the Charles: Crew members enjoy an incredible regatta

Flags are flown proudly by the Shawnigan Lake School boys’ rowing crew that attended the famous Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston. It was a great experience for the eight boys’ and girls’ crew members plus two coxswains. submitted

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

S

hawnigan Lake School rowers will be talking about this experience for a lifetime.

Participating in the world’s largest two-day regatta tends to leave a lasting impression.

Shawnigan sent a boys’ and girls’ eight with coxswains to race in the youth eight events at the Head of the Charles in Boston.

“You get accepted into the race via lottery and we were lucky enough to get in,’’ noted coach Tim Coy. “There were 85 boats in each race from all over the States and from England as well.’’

The girls placed 27th in competition against clubs as well as schools while the boys came 48th.

Mauve Friday is Coming.

The girls’ crew included: Annabel Irwin, Sierra Farr, Danielle Schmidt, Shanti Thurber, Alex Lubbe, Maria Wallace, Georgia Stadnyk, Anna Koehler and cox Maia du Toit.

Boys’ crew members were: Liam McKay, Mykael HughesMussio, William Laumann Wallace, Bailey Walker, John Mitchell, Bayley Wells, Cody

Sayer, Morgan Stade and cox Lauren John.

“The whole town, there’s regatta stuff everywhere,’’ said Sayer. “It’s a completely different experience to the regattas around here.’’

Coy indicated the coxswains had a difficult job navigating boats through six bridges and opposing teams.

In head races, boats go one at a time and race against the clock.

“Shawnigan has never done a head race season so this was a first for us in many ways,’’ noted Coy. “Many lessons were learned about this style of racing and the kids enjoyed a fantastic experience.’’

The regatta featured 9,000 athletes and 300,000 spectators.

Ridenour retains island cross country title Don Bodger

Comfortable margin is obtained by Desirae Ridenour at the front of the girls’ pack.

esirae Ridenour successfully defended her championship in the island high school cross country championships.

The Grade 9 Frances Kelsey School student topped the girls’ field in 15:55.29.

“I think I was a second slower or something like that,’’ said Ridenour, comparing it to last year’s event when she turned heads by winning the event while only in Grade 8.

Everyone knew who

she was this time during last Wednesday’s race at Beaver Lake Park in Victoria, but still couldn’t catch her.

“I felt a bit of pressure,’’ said Ridenour.

But she got in front where she likes to be and completed the approximately 4.5-kilometre course with nearly a foursecond margin over runner-up Chloe Hegland of Parkland. Madison Heisterman of Queen Margaret’s School came third in 16:26 and Tata Blundell of Brentwood College also got into the top 10 in eighth place by finishing in 16:54.02.

Kelsey’s Miranda Nyah and Katey Farley were

Since she won for the first time at such an early age, Ridenour has a chance to sweep first place throughout her high school years. That would be an unprecedented accomplishment, but her odds are only going to improve as she advances in high school and becomes one of the older participants, rather than one of the youngest.

Ridenour will be entering the provincial championship at the Aldergrove Lake Regional Park in Langley Saturday.

Designing with natural gas thenewblackfriday.com

By Kerry Vital

Natural gas is no longer needed exclusively by professional chefs and high-end homes. Homeowners are increasingly choosing natural gas in their kitchens, living spaces and even outdoors.

“A lot more people are choosing natural gas these days, especially in the kitchen,” says Stephanie Malhas, interior designer at Sarah Gallop Design Inc. (SGDI). “People like the quality and evenness of cooking with a natural gas cooktop.”

Natural gas appliances can be found in many styles, including traditional free-standing ranges, built-in ranges, professional-looking cooktops and single or double wall ovens.

“It’s a more professional kind of cooking,” says Sarah Gallop of SGDI. It’s also faster. FortisBC notes that natural gas cooktops heat up instantly and provide precise temperature control. Natural gas ovens are naturally convection ovens, circulating air continuously around your food and ensuring that it cooks or bakes evenly.

But it’s not just the kitchen that can benefit from a natural gas makeover. Outdoor spaces and living areas are also tops on the list.

“Everybody likes an outdoor firepit now,” says Susanne Doise of Sensitive Design Inc. “You want to create an outdoor space that you can use for three seasons of the year.”

When it comes to that outdoor space, you have many more options than just the firepit. Doise says she’s recently designed entire outdoor kitchens, which can be easily connected to your home’s natural gas supply. She and Gallop also note the increase in people installing patio heaters so they don’t have to head inside as soon as it starts getting a bit chilly.

“It’s kind of like camping in your own backyard,” says Gallop. “You get the informality of outdoor space with the convenience of natural gas.”

And convenient it is. Natural gas is available at the push of a button, so you no longer need to wait for your fireplace or cooktop to heat up or worry about running out of propane for your outdoor barbecue. It’s also more energy-efficient for space and water heating, saving you money on your heating bills.

FortisBC offers an online energy calculator that will help you compare the cost of fuel sources and their energy efficiency, demonstrating that natural gas is the most affordable choice for homeowners. Find it at www.fortisbc. com/energycalculator. Fortis BC natural gas customers are continuing to benefit from some of the lowest prices in a decade. As of Oct. 1, customers will see a decrease for the cost of natural gas to just over $3 per gigajoule. More information can be found at www.fortisbc.com/rates.

Other outdoor options that Gallop, Doise and Malhas have

seen lately have been fire tables and full outdoor fireplaces.

“People are looking for an indoor-outdoor life,” says Gallop.

“You can install a fire table that looks just like a coffee table and can be used as a coffee table outside, with a linear burner in the middle.”

She’s also seen firepits within an outdoor dining table.

“Natural gas brings warmth,” Gallop says. “It obviously brings physical warmth but also a warm ambiance.”

This is especially important in the living areas, where you want to gather with friends and family. Natural gas fireplaces are both cozy and convenient. FortisBC notes that you can even pre-program some models of gas fireplaces to turn on at a specific time to warm up your space in the morning or before you get home from work.

“There’s a lot of flexibility when it comes to gas fireplaces,” says Gallop. “You can convert an old wood-burning fireplace, customize how it looks, whatever you want to suit your style, space and budget.”

Doise agrees, saying, “A fireplace in the living room becomes a focal point. You want to place everything around it.”

While you may not be contemplating a move any time soon, installing natural gas in your home will also increase the resale value in the future.

“It’s a really nice selling feature,” says Malhas. “People want natural gas when they’re looking for a home.”

FortisBC has partnered with Black Press on the Reno Me! with FortisBC contest, which began Oct. 7. Readers are encouraged to submit a photo by Oct. 31 of their great room, kitchen or outdoor space and explain why they want a makeover using natural gas. One finalist from each category will be chosen to receive a consultation with an interior designer and a rendering of their space. Then, one winner will be chosen by readers to receive $10,000 towards their renovation, with the second and third place homeowners receiving $2,000. Voters will also get a chance to win a $500 gift card towards the purchase of a natural gas appliance.

DCS teams set the bar high against opponents Volleyball tournaments: Boys push the limits in their own invitational tournament but can’t get past Credo Don Bodger

Christian Friday and Saturday.

“Had we beaten Pacific Christian, we would’ve had a chance to end up tied with Cedars, which would have helped out the rankings end of things quite a bit,’’ noted DCS coach David Vanderschaaf.

“I’m very happy with how we played and look forward to working on what it will take to win some of these similar lost matches at the provincials.’’

DCS faced Vernon Christian in its first match and gave up the first set 2519. The second was much better, with DCS winning 25-14.

The second match against Regent Christian came after a nice break following the opening ceremonies.

“What we wanted was to come in first in our pool and so we needed to win both sets against Regent,’’ noted Vanderschaaf.

The girls came out with energy and finished strong with a 25-19, 25-18 final.

DCS needed to win at least one set from Carver Christian to have a chance at first in the pool, but couldn’t pull through and lost both by 25-16 margins.

After placing second in the pool, DCS had an extra match Friday night against Nanaimo Christian. DCS went into it with just six players, as Victoria Neufeld was injured and Becky Bazinet had back pain.

Juliet King and Miranda Wood had to play all rotations. They held their own and finished the match quickly 25-8, 25-18, with Danielle Groenendijk serving 12 in a row.

The No. 3 seed in the tournament, Surrey Christian, provided a tough challenge.

“I told the girls they would have to play the best they possibly could, that they would have to be the louder team, and that with a few bounces our way we could surprise them,’’ noted Vanderschaaf.

The first set got away 25-14 and DCS pushed in the second but lost 25-19.

The last match with Pacific Christian was a thriller, ending 19-25, 25-23, 13-15.

Big blocks are set up by Luke Hylands (15) and Ryan Gray (14) of Gulf Islands Secondary on Alan Park of Duncan Christian School Friday during the DCS Invitational senior boys’ volleyball tournament. DCS won 25-23, 25-13.

Youth Athlete of the Week

Lauren Barnes Lauren Barnes carries a huge weight on her shoulders as the captain of the Frances Kelsey Breakers senior girls’ volleyball team and leads by example. “Lauren is the whole package,’’ said coach Mark Jackson.

“She looks like a volleyball player, moves like a volleyball player. We look to her in the tough moments to dig us out of trouble.’’ Barnes, 17, a Grade 12 student, came up through the ranks slowly. She started with spring volleyball training in Grade 9. “I was very hesitant on coming back for the Grade 10 season because I was scared, but they convinced me to do it which was the best decision I ever made,’’ said Barnes. “I played in the Grade 10 season as a rookie, sat on the bench a lot and then Grade 11 was kind of my year with a couple of the older girls, but still hanging in there as one of the leaders. This year, I’m having a great time. I love the team and who I play with.’’ She knows very well about the great history of the team at the school. “There’s banners everywhere for all these great volleyball players,’’ Barnes said. “It definitely raises the bar for us and tries to get us to that point.’’

elmont emerged with the championship from a highly-competitive field in the Duncan Christian School Invitational senior boys’ volleyball tournament.

Belmont defeated Nanaimo District Secondary School 25-22, 25-17 in the championship match Saturday afternoon.

Credo Christian took the bronze medal by virtue of its comeback 18-25, 25-23, 15-9 victory over Highland.

The match-ups were determined following the semifinals when Belmont edged Highland 25-20, 25-19 and NDSS fought back to beat Credo 1825, 25-12, 15-13.

Coach Peter Day’s host DCS squad placed second in Pool A during the round robin, but then lost to Credo in the crossover with the third-place Pool B finisher 17-25, 20-25.

A total of 10 teams took part in the tournament, split up into two pools of five.

DCS won three of its four round robin games in straight 2-0 sets, beating Gulf Islands, Abbotsford Christian and Parkland. The team’s lone loss also came in two straight against Belmont.

Tournament MVPs were Kishan Parhar of Nanaimo District and Jaden Mandy from Belmont.

Players named tournament all-stars from their respective teams were: Doug Groenendijk (Duncan Christian); Luke Hylands (Gulf Islands); Mitch Saunderson (Ucluelet); Caelen MacEwan (Parkland); Brady Andjelkovic (Woodlands); Eric Vaags (Abbotsford Christian); Jared Collin (Highland); Chris Schneider (Credo); Ryley Kazanowski (Nanaimo District) and Taran Silas (Belmont).

Young goaltender produces a great performance in tie against Saanich

Cowichan Valley Midget AAA Capitals rep hockey team went 2-1-1 on the Thanksgiving weekend during a tournament at Comox.

Cowichan beat Peninsula and Victoria and tied Alberni Valley. Its lone loss was a big one, 7-0 against Semiahmoo.

“I think we were a bit intimidated

playing against them,’’ said Caps’ coach Aaron Spotts. “We got in too much penalty trouble and it cost us.’’

It was only 1-0 at the halfway mark but then the roof caved in.

The Caps played to a 1-1 tie last weekend in their lone game against Saanich, thanks to the brilliant play of their

goaltender Ty Rennie, pictured.

Rennie played last year for the Bantam Caps, who hosted the provincials.

“In my opinion, we were lucky to get away with the tie,’’ said Spotts, who vowed to get some line combinations clicking to boost the team’s offensive production.

Breakaway attempt by the Kerry Park Islanders’ Alex Milligan is thwarted, as he fights to get a decent shot at goalie Joey Karrer while all tied up from behind by peninsula panthers’ defenceman cody Breitenstein.

ackson Jane must have felt like he was in a flashback to last season.

The 55 shots fired at him by the Peninsula Panthers Saturday night at Kerry Park Arena was an average night during the 2012-13 Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League campaign.

But the load has generally been much lighter so far in 2013-14. The Islanders were simply caught shorthanded due to injuries on defence and the Panthers took full advantage, only to run into a huge roadblock put up by Jane.

He held the Islanders in the game and earned them a point with 52 saves, but the Panthers still took the victory 3-2 on Braeden Pearce’s goal at 3:46 of overtime.

“They made a good play in overtime,’’ said Jane.

Before that, the Islanders had several golden opportunities to win, including Alex Milligan’s shot

that hit the post in the third period and his overtime breakaway where the puck slid through the five hole on Peninsula Joey Karrer, but just missed the net.

“We just didn’t get any breaks late in the game when we could have scored,’’ said Jane.

The Islanders only had four regular defencemen dressed and dropped another forward back that put added pressure on Jane. He was up for the task.

“The third period felt like a lot of shots,’’ said Jane.

“Peninsula’s always a shooting team anyway,’’ said Jane. “No matter how short your lineup is, you want to win the game.’’

The Islanders actually led 2-1 after the first period on goals by Milligan and Corey Peterson. Peninsula’s Nick Kean tied it on a second period power play and the score stayed that way till Pearce’s overtime heroics.

The Islanders host Westshore Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

he Cowichan Valley Capitals were less than a minute away from earning at least a point in both their weekend B.C. Hockey League road games when the unthinkable happened.

Jeremiah Luedtke scored with only 44 seconds remaining in regulation time in Prince George Saturday night to give the Spruce Kings a 3-2 victory over the Caps, who were coming off a 2-1 win against the Chiefs in Chilliwack Friday.

“I don’t think we were too bad either game,’’ said Caps’ coach Bob Beatty. “I think we could have better, but we got a split.’’

Goalie Robin Gusse was the story of the Prince George game, holding his team in the game with 36 saves.

“The Prince George game, it was back and forth,’’ said Beatty. “They were outshooting us and Robin was playing well. Just the same, you get that close, you hope to take a point out of it.’’

Defenceman Jarrett Brown broke the ice for the Caps on a power play in the last minute of the second period, tying the game at 1-1.

Prince George took the lead again early in the third, but Jesse Neher responded for the Caps just 19 seconds later. It stayed that way until Luedtke struck in the late stages.

The Caps tallied a mere eight seconds

after the Chiefs’ Quentin McShane opened the scoring in the first period at Chilliwack.

The eventual game-winner came from Sam Curleigh just past the midway mark of the second period.

Gusse also had a great game in Chilliwack, stopping 36 of 37 shots. He gives the Caps a chance to win most nights.

The Caps were without Steen Cooper for Saturday’s game. He left after the Chilliwack game to attend the Canada West selection camp in Calgary.

It was a strange road trip for the Caps with such a huge distance between games. They spent Friday night in Cache Creek and headed all the way home after the Prince George game, spending the night on the bus before catching the 8:30 a.m. Sunday ferry.

The Caps have a rare light schedule this week, with just one game on the agenda — Sunday at 2 p.m. at Cowichan Arena against the Nanaimo Clippers.

Beatty is taking advantage of the time to prep the players for a busier stretch ahead.

“I think we can brush up on a number of things,’’ he said. “Our neutral zone needs a little work and our defensive zone can always get better.’’

And then there’s always the special teams which require constant attention.

The Caps have a new defenceman, Matt Foster, coming in from Calgary of the Western Hockey League.
