Duncan boy dies outside arena

Road rage erupts in Timmy’s drive-thru

Cause unclear: Family waiting for answers as tragedy strikes young hockey fan

an I have some road rage with my double-double, please? A case of butting in to the drive-thru at Mill Bay’s Tim Hortons Thursday ended with the driver of a brown Integra — now sought by Shawnigan Lake RCMP — allegedly swinging a sledge hammer to vent his anger on the driver of a pickup truck, police say. “We get a lot of driving complaints, and some are road rage incidents — drivers fingering each other — but to this extreme? No,” Cpl. Jason Kerr said. “This was definitely up there, and it all happened on the travel portion of the highway.” Charges could include mischief for damaging a vehicle, and possession of a weapon, he said, noting the Integra’s license-plate number was unknown. The alleged criminal coffee klatsch happened Thursday at around 8:30 a.m. when two drivers had a disagreement in Timmy’s drive-thru. “The dispute was over who was to proceed next in the line up,” Kerr’s release reads. One driver was operating a blue Ford truck, the other was behind the wheel of an older brown Acura Integra. more on page 4

than Kroffat had a funny feeling when twin brother, Caleb, walked out Cowichan Arena’s back door Friday night. It was the last time he would see Caleb alive. The brothers were usually inseparable, but Ethan, 11, was pumped about getting a Zamboni ride between periods of the hockey game between the Cowichan Capitals and Victoria’s Grizzlies. “I had a bad feeling after he went out the door,” Ethan said of the brother just three minutes older. “I didn’t think anything of it.” Sadly, Caleb died of unknown reasons after rounding the arena’s northeast corner, then collapsing near the Grizzlies’ bus at about 8:25 p.m. The driver, a local doctor, and Sa- Caleb Kroffat: maritan Colin Plant, tried to revive eleven an unconscious Caleb, but to no avail. Plant said arena and Caps’ staff were also “on it,” scrambling to get paramedics on scene. “I just was a person giving CPR. When I arrived on scene he was getting chest compressions,” Plant told the News Leader Pictorial Monday. The Grade 6 pupil at Drinkwater elementary, and peewee defenceman in Cowichan’s minor hockey league, died later in Cowichan District Hospital. “Doctors and nurses worked for 45 minutes, hoping they could bring him back,” said Caleb’s mom, Renee. Police are investigating exactly what happened, but say the death does not look suspicious. B.C.’s coroners service is also determining what killed Caleb. Despite official findings, Renee says her active son had no known medical problems — and there were no signs Caleb had been beaten. “I think he must have fallen and hit his head,” she surmised, noting some head protection offered by Caleb’s furry, thick Russian-style hat. It’s prominently displayed in the mourning clan’s family room near Duncan. They’re grateful to people who tried to help Caleb in the parking lot, as Renee, Caleb’s dad Jason, and Ethan were inside, enjoying the game. Jason went for hot chocolate. Then an upset friend rushed up and told Renee to come outside. more on page 7

A man had to be cut from his car after an accident in Crofton Tuesday morning. North Cowichan’s South End firefighters assisted the Crofton fire department in removing the roof of this Hyundai sedan following a single-motor vehicle incident on Osborne Bay Road. The accident occurred just north of Escarpment Way, at approximately 9:30 a.m. According to Crofton fire chief Lee Burridge, rescue crews were concerned the driver may have suffered spinal cord injuries.

The truck proceeded first in the line-up, the Integra following. “The driver of the Integra proceeded to bump the truck with his car several times while in the line-up.” After getting his purchase, the truck driver left the Tim Hortons and headed north on Highway 1. As the truck approached Cowichan Bay Road, the truck driver noticed the Integra speed past him, cut in front of him, then slam on his brakes, Kerr explains. Both vehicles stopped in the travel portion of the right-hand lane. “The driver of the Integra exited

his car with a sledge hammer, and walked back to the truck. “He struck the driver’s-side window of the truck twice with the sledge hammer, shattering the window. “The driver of the truck had remained sitting in his vehicle. In an effort to get away from the male, the driver of the truck started to push the Integra off the road with his truck,” Kerr states. The Integra driver returned to his car, hitting the truck twice more with his sledge hammer and causing a dent and smashing the driver’s-side headlight, before driving away. The Integra was last seeing turn-

The Integra’s driver is described as a Caucasian male, late 20s, five-foot-10, 165 pounds, with a slim build, dark hair, and dark, scruffy facial hair. The suspect was wearing a grey hoodie, with the hood pulled over his head. The car is described as an older Acura Integra, possibly mid-90’s, dirty and two-toned brown.

he community is yet again stepping to the plate to help a family in need. This time, however, those helping hands are reaching a little farther than across the Cowichan River. Try across the Pacific Ocean and over the world’s largest mountain range. Funds are being raised for a local couple’s 10-month-old nephew living in Tibet who’s suffering from inflammation of the brain. Baby Rinzin has encephalitis and needs surgery to save his life. And that’s why Cowichan’s Tibetan folks have banded together and extended their fundraising efforts to the community to get Rinzin’s family assistance for funds. “Basically we have 10 Tibetans in the whole Cowichan Valley region,” explained Cowichan Intercultural Society’s Pema Wangchen. “The baby is the nephew of one of our Tibetan community members.” Jamyang Yeshi and partner Choesang Dolma are both sushi-makers at Mill Bay’s Thrifty Foods. Rinzin lives in a small community called Ginghai. His mom is Dolma’s sister. “He was in the hospital for few months, and was told he has to go home and if they want to make a difference they should take him to Beijing, to the capital, to have

from page 1

Peter W. Rusland

Kroffat family members Jason (left), Ethan, and Renee, mourn Friday’s death of Caleb, 11, outside the Cowichan Arena during a Capitals’ game. The cause of Caleb’s death is under investigation. His minorhockey jersey, No. 10, is to be displayed in the arena.

She discovered her son dying, while strangers tried to help — leaving her family shocked and puzzled. “They couldn’t bring him back, even though (help) was administered so fast,” she said. Renee explained how Caleb and another boy, since interviewed by police, were playing with a puck near the arena’s rear door. “He ran out the back door; we don’t know what happened after that,” she said. The metal door locked behind Caleb. He was reported sitting on the arena’s backstairs. Renee believed he was maybe trying to catch his breath for some reason. “Caleb managed to crawl toward

FAITH

Victoria’s team bus.” Authorities told the Kroffats a surveillance camera at the arena’s northeast corner could possibly have caught Caleb’s final moments — but it wasn’t working. The driver heard a bang on the bus — possibly Caleb hitting the rig, or collapsing against it, Renee continued. The driver checked for his pulse, called 911, then started CPR. “Someone brought a defibrillator, but it said ‘not to shock,’” Renee said. Saturday’s peewee Winter Hawks game was scrubbed in respect for Caleb’s death. Plans are also afoot to frame, then hang Caleb’s no. 10 jersey in the arena. Caleb’s loss has stricken the family.

“He was an old soul, like an old man in a young man’s body,” Renee said. Jason, a former Caps player recently took Caleb hunting. The trip saw the lad bag his first doe. “He was a good kid who worked hard,” Jason said of his son who, with Ethan, delivered the News Leader Pictorial for about two years. “It’s a sad day.” Jason found it ironic he fondly remembers playing in the arena where his son died. “It just rips the heart out of you,” he said softly. Witnesses, or folks with details about Friday’s tragedy can call North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522. Services were being planned, possibly for next weekend.

No matter when or how you do it, please remember Remembrance Day: even if you can’t make the ceremony, make time to remember

emembrance Day is about remembering. But how some individuals remember might be different from others. Age, upbringing, lifestyles and schedules can affect people’s ability or desire to attend tradtional Nov. 11 Remembrance Day ceremonies. But attendance isn’t the real issue. If you weren’t able to make it down to Charles Hoey Park Monday at 11 a.m., or to whatever ceremony was closest to you, how did you remember? Find some Did you take a break and consider a moment of silence at work? time to salute Did you pause between vacuum the sacrifice strokes to thank the men and women who fought for our freedom in the middle of your cleaning frenzy? Maybe for you remembering is taking a few hours in the evening to watch a war flick — something like Mel Gibson’s amazing, eye-opening role in We Were Soldiers — to re-realize just how brave our veterans were. Or you might have proudly worn a poppy for the week leading up to Nov. 11, thoughts of sacrifices accompanying every flash of red on your day-to-day jaunts. Or, now with modern technology, your ritual might be changing your Facebook profile as a poppy that week. Maybe you shared several Remembrance Day-theme posts on your wall. Maybe you created a heartfelt post Nov. 11. Many of us still make it to the ceremony, rain or shine, schedule, no schedule, to salute our vets. And it is important they do. But no matter what you did, no matter how you did it, the main point is to remember.

We say:

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

This we like

The fact Duncan went years without addressing the awful pedestrian crossing over the railway tracks at Hoey Park was a shame. That city administrator Peter de Verteuil ﬁnally has this issue on track toward completion is wonderful news to every mom with a stroller who ever strolled through downtown. Perhaps we should thank Guy Firth for getting things moving with his maverick crossing last spring.

Historic Keating farmhouse.

Choice foremost in the circumcision debate Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

o snip, or not to snip. I’m sure to receive some flack for that opening statement, but instead of skirting around the issue, I’ll get straight to the point. Families should have that above choice if they want to circumcise their son. The Ombudsman for Children in Sweden recently called for the country to ban circumcision, a practice he said contravened the basic rights of boys. “Circumcising a child without medical justification nor his consent contravenes this child’s human rights,’’ wrote Fredrik Malmberg in a text co-signed with health professionals and published in the daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter. “The operation is painful, irreversible and can lead to dangerous complications.’’ The government estimates some 3,000 boys

are circumcised every year in Sweden. Back in the land of the Canuck, we still enjoy the right to exercise that choice. According to an article in the Globe and Mail and a 2012 statistic, about 48% of male Canadian babies are circumcised. It was a choice I mulled over with my husband, as well as many of my friends with sons. I’d be safe to say about half my acquaintances did the deed with their little dudes. Regardless of whose little fellas were snipped, the most common and biggest factors that came up over coffee were: 1. I want my son to look the same as his dad to avoid awkward questions down the road. 2. The appearance and cleanliness of a circumcised penis is much appreciated by the male and female partner. 3. The worry and emotion, and risks of bleeding and infection from having the procedure done outweigh any other factor.

We applauded when The Land Conservancy acquired historic Keating Farm about a decade ago. The idea that this historic property near Duncan would be preserved and protected was a good thing. The fact it may have to be sold to address TLC ﬁnancial problems is troubling. Hopefully a deal can be struck in such a way that preservation comes ﬁrst.

COWICHAN LEADERS

I’m not a pusher of one way or the other. And I won’t disclose my decision as I’m sure my son would kill me 13 years from now. What I find most interesting is how circumcision isn’t just one of those new debates popping up on mom’s Facebook feeds. For decades, there has been wide-spread discussion. Even in ancient times, practicing and bannings were in full force as the Jews and the Greeks butted heads. Over the years, different countries health officials wavered on their support, or lack thereof. In 1870, a Dr. Lewis Sayre claimed circumcision cured polio, spurring a trend that lead to almost universal circumcision. Then somewhere along the line in the 1970s, the American Academy of Pediatrics found “no valid medical indication for routine infant circumcision,” while neighbours the Canadian Paediatric Society said circumcision is an “obsolete” and “mutila-

tive” operation that should not be routinely performed. The same Canadian Paediatric Society reaffirmed in 1996 circumcision “should not be routinely performed.” Three years later, the American Academy of Pediatrics said circumcision should not be done routinely but it is acceptable for “cultural, religious and ethnic” reasons. Then here we are now, and as of 2012, that same American Academy of Pediatrics declared the benefits of circumcision outweigh risks but decisions should rest with parents. Case closed? Well, maybe for me, but what about you? Ashley Degraaf is a News Leader Pictorial reporter who writes about family issues here monthly.

Cost of chopping down Echo Heights outweighs beneﬁts

Duncan Garage Showroom truly is a local treasure

Proposed transit changes back to the drawing board

Ross Armour

News Leader Pictorial

hanges to Cowichan’s rural transit system have been stalled further following a meeting at the end of last month. The public meeting, Oct. 28 at Cowichan Lake Recreation Centre, was put on by B.C. Transit but only 30 people showed up. “Unfortunately changes are not going to happen that quickly,” said B.C. Transit’s corporate spokesperson Meribeth Burton. B.C. Transit and Cowichan Valley Regional District have been looking at alternatives to the valley’s transit service since July, with particular emphasis on rural communities, including the south end, and the Cowichan Lake area. “At this time, we need to prepare more recommendations to the CVRD board to be put forward at its December meeting,” said Burton. “We have to go back to broader public consultation

as we need more voices to be heard.” If those pending recommendations are given affirmation by CVRD hierarchy come December, Burton plans to go back to CVRD’s board in the spring with specific changes outlined. CVRD’s elected officials will then vote. “There’s no point in making changes unless people are happy,” she said. “Because of time commitment, we’re looking for people with the strongest voices of transit as we weren’t expecting a big amount of voices at this time. There needs to be a broader outreach.” Despite the slow progress, amidst a rallying cry for more input, Burton believes change is inevitable. “CVRD and B.C. Transit do think that we could use our buses more regularly. I think there will be change.” Burton also confirmed a variety of new prospects are being looked into including a Dial-A-Ride service, paratransit service where buses are scheduled on certain days of the week, as well as the use of taxis within the transit system.

Miscommunication douses fireworks display

Town provided wrong information: Police incident leaves local feeling sour but they were only enforcing the law Ross Armour

News Leader Pictorial

Halloween fireworks display in Lake Cowichan fizzled last month thanks to poor communication from

city hall. Geoff Baker of 225 Johel Rd. had his neighbourhood fireworks display halted and a firework seized on Halloween night despite being told by the town earlier that day it would be alright to proceed. Baker said he was surprised and embarrassed when Lake Cowichan RCMP showed up at his home to extinguish the festivities. “On Oct. 31, during the day, I visited the Lake Cowichan administration office to get my permit,” wrote Baker in a letter to the Lake Cowichan Gazette. “They informed me that the permits were only for CVRD areas and that Lake Cowichan was not affected and I did not need a permit. “At the time I was a bit confused but since I had put in the effort to double-check with the municipality office I thought it would be OK,” said Baker. “We started the fireworks at the end of Johel

Road at about 9 p.m. Everyone was having fun and enjoying the display. We were very safe and had children and grandparents in attendance. Then the police showed up. “There was two officers and they began to inquire about who was setting off the fireworks. I told them it was me as I had nothing to hide and figured we were doing everything legal. They informed me that I did need a permit and that what we were doing was, in fact, illegal. “I informed them about my visit with the Lake Cowichan office and how we did not need a permit. They disagreed and proceeded to lecture me about how I need to make sure I am aware of the local bylaws.” Lake Cowichan’s chief administrative officer Joe Fernandez admitted a gaffe on the town’s part. “That’s all true,” said Fernandez in confirmation that Baker entered the office to seek a permit. “It’s a mistake on our part this time.” Sgt. Wes Olsen of the Lake Cowichan RCMP said Baker set off the fireworks on public property, inviting family and neighbours along, thus marking his as a display event. Display events involving fireworks in Lake Cowichan require a permit at least 10 days prior to Halloween. At display events, fireworks supervisors are required to be on-site, and normally these are members of the fire department, Olsen said. He also confirmed RCMP officers

seized a Roman candle firework from Baker — a banned firework even if a permit is obtained. “We found someone who was letting off an (illegal) firework and seized it from him,” Olsen said. “We didn’t seize it unlawfully. He didn’t have a permit.” Baker contacted the media after a second visit to the town office confirmed what he was told the first time. “The next morning I immediately went back to the Lake Cowichan municipality office and asked about the permit situation. The woman who originally told me I did not need a permit was there and she sympathized with me about the situation.” He has since been made aware of the mix-up, but the entire situation has left a bad taste in his mouth. “All of this happened in front of my entire family and neighbourhood. I was extremely embarrassed and felt like I had just been harassed by the local police,” he said. Olsen said Baker was not fined under the bylaw, although he could have been. “It’s a $1,000 fine if he wants to go down that road,” said Olsen. “The town’s bylaw regarding fireworks is confusing for the public and is difficult for the police to enforce. That’s why on the night of Halloween we chose to not fine anybody and just use our discretion and educate about the bylaw.” Baker said he has since received an apology from the RCMP.

City square readying for climate rally

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 13

Canada poised to be a haven for climate change refugees? John McKinley

News Leader Pictorial

hink climate change is a dead issue? Cowichan’s carbon busters will be out in full force Saturday to demonstrate that’s not the case. The Cowichan Carbon Busters Citizen Rally: Defend our Climate; Defend our Communities will be staged in Duncan City Square at 3 p.m. “To counter a powerful fossil fuel lobby, local politicians and citizens will celebrate their municipal climate action plans on Nov. 16 as part of a nation-wide day,” Cowichan carbon buster Peter Nix said in a press release. North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure and Duncan Mayor Phil Kent are scheduled to speak about municipal plans to reduce our collective carbon emissions. “You can speak out too,” Nix said. “Bring signs and music and ideas. Let’s show support for politicians who are acting on climate change. “And let’s be positive by using this event to get local citizens and politicians involved in provincial and federal energy plans.” Nix praised local government initiatives on climate change while slamming the provincial leadership. “The provincial policy of increasing fossil fuel exports is hypocritical and immoral,” he writes. “If we do not stop this nonsense, expect local storms caused by increasing carbon emissions to cost you real misery and real money in the future.”

uch has been made about the way climate change could affect our future. Author Giles Slade has a take you may not have heard

submitted

Author Giles Slade will be visiting Duncan to launch his new book, American Exodus: Climate Change and the Coming Flight for Survival.

before. Slade, author of American Exodus: Climate Change and the Coming Flight for Survival visits Duncan Nov. 16 to pose the question “Is Canada the next climate refuge?” “Climate change will drive migration from the United States into Canada. When we reach this kind of crisis point, it is the vulnerable and isolated people who will suffer most. Our survival will depend on our ability to depend on other people,” Giles said in a recent interview on the CBC. Hot off the heels of his successful books Made to Break and The Big Disconnect, the

“recovering academic with advanced degrees in rhetoric and literature,” will be visiting Duncan to launch Exodus, his latest. “Slade shares a compelling cautionary tale. He argues that we are entering a long period of global desperation which will be characterized by human migration on an unprecedented scale,” event promotional material states. “We may yet survive the coming century of climatic change if we act now to safeguard our shelter of last resort. Our northern lands are our Noah’s ark — a vital refuge against the moment of mankind’s greatest need.” Slade says cities on Vancouver Island will be staging areas for new migrants who will then proceed to settle further north — somewhat like the gold rush but without the lure of profit at the end, only the hope of a more habitable place to call home. His session at the Vancouver Island Regional Library’s Cowichan branch begins at 2 p.m., Nov. 16. For more call 250-746-7661.

Movember’s here, fear the beard

y the way, did you hear: • Yoga instructor and Cowichan Theatre publicist Brian Kroeker has shaved his notable beard for the first time in years to raise some local awareness about Movember and men’s health in general. • Crafty Cuppa has moved to 9828 Croft Street, off Maple Lane in Chemainus and hosted its grand re-opening on Halloween: “Eat, Drink & be Scary.” • The Rotary Club of Chemainus is fundraising to send nine of its members to Guatemala in February to help fix roofs, build bed frames, dig latrines and whatever else is needed to help the citizens of the impoverished Central American country. • Congratulations to Saltair painter Carrie Kendall. Her painting was chosen Best in Show earlier this fall during the opening of the Multi Media Fine Art Exhibition at the Ladysmith Waterfront Gallery. • Duncan’s George Dodd was singing the praises of Nick Boychuk and the crew from the Victoria Coast Guard after they arranged for help when his recent whale-watching trip went south after he ran out of fuel near Fulford Harbour. • North Cowichan is being looked to for lead-

mie Buttle started making bags more than 20 years ago. Now based in Vancouver, she sells her bags to people all over Canada and the world. We caught up with the busy entrepreneur this month to find out what inspired her to start her business and why she loves to do it. Tell us about Missy May Bags and what inspired you to start your business? I began making bags over 20 years ago in an after-school sewing class in Duncan. I was always fascinated watching my mom and aunt make Halloween costumes. Sewing quickly became my ultimate passion. Where does the name ‘Missy May Bags’ come from? My cousin Jenny May and I grew up together in Sahtlam and would play in our grandma’s garden together. more on A16

Facebook powers sales, Vancouver stores on board from A15

She would call out for ‘Missy B’ when it was time to come inside. Jenny May passed away 13 years ago so I named the company in her honour and think of her with every design. What is it that you design and who are your customers? I make fun, beautiful bags for any occasion. They are elegant and functional. I make tote bags, wine bags, evening clutches, and (soon) beach bags. They stand out because of their beauty and sparkling personalities just as I remember Jenny. I also make custom orders if someone is looking for something a little bit different. There is truly a Missy May Bag for everyone. They are for the woman going on a night out, a young girl wanting a funky school lunch bag, or for someone heading to the gym, or even to the office. My Grandma rocks her custom-made tote regularly! Where are you located? I definitely consider the origin of Missy May to be the Cowichan Valley but now we are located in Vancouver. My friend Rishona Elzinga lives in the valley and does all of my admin and accounting. What kinds of materials do you use and where do you make your bags? I like to develop a pattern for only a limited amount of time so that the excitement never leaves me! This way my customers have the opportunity to order new designs on a regular basis. I love working with crisp cottons and sturdy canvas, and I have designed evening clutches from velvet and faux suede too. Where are your bags sold? The majority of my sales are through Facebook, which is great as I can connect and sell to people around the world. I have sold the bags in stores all around B.C. and most recently have started selling the wine bags in

Marquis Wine Store in Vancouver. They are also sold in Vancouver at Fine Finds in Yaletown and Barefoot Contessa on Main Street. I receive orders from across Canada and all over the world but the orders I receive from the Cowichan Valley always mean the most to me! I would love to sell them in the valley so that it’s easier for people to buy them locally. What is the price range? Prices vary from $9.99 to $59.99 depending on the item. I am constantly clearing stock and offering discounts and periodically I offer contests on my Facebook page too. What are some of your favourite styles right now? One of my personal favourites is the ‘Mum & Me’ matching tote bags. It makes me smile every time I send them off to a mom and daughter. And as it’s coming up to the holiday season I especially like the Missy clutch bags, which are perfect paired with an evening gown or even a pair of jeans. What are your business aspirations for Missy May Bags? This is more than a company to me, it is a tribute to one of the most influential people in my life; Jenny May. She taught me to always look on the bright side and find the good in every situation and I think of this on a daily basis as I build up the brand. My goal is to have the bags carried in many stores across Canada and the world. I want to show young people that if you focus on your goals and never give up, anything is possible! The feeling I get from being stopped in the street by someone who likes my bag is overwhelming and exciting and that’s what keeps me going. See more of Amie’s beautiful bags or order one today on her Facebook page – www.facebook.com/ MissyMayBags.

Brighten your fall with a clothing swap Piling on: Clean out your closet and have a party at the same time

h, November. Unless you have the ability to grow a moustache, then November can be a little like January – dark, dreary, and slightly depressing (at times). Personally, November seems like a good time to do a little closet cleaning, out with anything that resembles summer or even fall and in with the heavy sweaters, the merino layers and the down winter coats. Yes, it’s the perfect time to rally some friends together for a Clothing Swap. Clothing swaps started in San Francisco in the ‘90s as a way to shop and be environmentally friendly all at once. They’re also a great excuse to get friends together and make the most of a winter’s eve. Send the boys with moustaches away and celebrate the dreary November rain with friends, food, and fashion. Here’s how to have a fabulous swap meet:

3. Food

This is almost as important as the clothes. Make it a potluck or provide lots of finger food. Not too much cake though or no one will be taking those skinny jeans home! 4. No ﬁghting

So what happens when two people want one thing? As far as swap rules go, it seems that having a walk-off is the only way to decide. Each person tries it on, struts their stuff, and let the crowd decide who takes it home. Be fair, be polite, and decide who suits it best. But be nice.

Finding the Look

1. Be discerning

While the idea is to clean out your closets and get rid of things no longer wanted, remember to be discerning. Nobody wants to wear your old pair of socks nor do they want sweaters with holes. Bring the things you don’t wear but that are still wearable for other people. 2. Size wise

5. Don’t turn back

That skirt you just couldn’t stand any longer looks so good on your friend, and now you want it back? Too late! Make sure you don’t have any lingering feelings for the pieces you bring because you can’t ask for it back. Channel your inner Buddha and practice non-attachment. 6. It’s not about the clothes

Clothing swaps are really fun. If you don’t go for the clothes, go for the food, the fun, and the laughs. Come with a full bag and leave with an empty one. There’s really nothing more satisfying than a closest that looks a little more tidy. Enjoy!

Clothing swaps are a great way to turn dreary November nights into a good time.

ON STAGE

Would you like a touch of Mozart with your Beethoven? How about a little bit of Beethoven to add some colour and power to your damp and dismal November? The Cowichan Consort is set to host a Beethoven Plus concert Saturday, starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Duncan Christian Reformed Church on Trunk Road. The Duncan Choral Society is joining forces with the Consort Choir and the Bench Elementary School choir directed by Margaret St Cyr.

That’s my boy

“Sue Doughty has rehearsed her Choral Society choir and they will be singing Beethoven’s 9th Ode to Joy with the Consort Orchestra and Choir,” event spokesperson Joy Ann Bannerman said. “The soloists will be Alexandra Hill, Ted Rhodes, Cari Burdett, and Steven Price. Robert Mari conducts.” The “plus” consists of Rhodes and Hill singing a Mozart duet. Tickets are available at the door and at Volume One.

Just came back: Why every visit to Cowichan is like a homecoming for Colin James Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

oyce Munn shakes her head in amazement about musical adventures she’s had — many, but not all, thanks to her famous blues-rock son, Colin James. “There’s been so much synchronicity and magic,” Munn said in the Cowichan Bay condo she shares with husband, Herb Strongeagle. That magic appears tonight during James’ acoustic Up Close and Personal reprise in the Cowichan Theatre. “Colin likes any song with passion and heart,” mom Munn said, hoping folks don’t think she’s just boasting about her son. “For me, he moves my heart. He carries my emotions up to the heights. I like a guitar that carries me up and up, and Colin does that for me.” Folk music did it for her long before James fame, rubbing shoulders and sharing stages with a galaxy of other stars. “I’ve been to most folk festivals in the country. I’m a life-long folkie. I was a purist on the folk scene.” That was back when Munn, 79, was in her native Weyburn, Saskatchewan, reading Sing Out! magazine, and tuning in to CBC Radio. “When I first heard The Beatles, I was horrified. I said ‘There’ll be none of that stuff in my house.’” The psychiatric nurse, and self-proclaimed political lefty, later moved to Regina. That’s where Colin, now 49, was born — and where Munn took him and his siblings to see blues royalty such as Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. James was born with music inside him, Munn believes. “It’s just in his genes and makeup — there’s rhythm and he’s got it. At age three Colin, had a record player and played all the Dr. Suess songs, and memorized both sides. “I took him to Gilbert and Sullivan, and he got it at age six.”

Joyce Munn transferred her love of music to her son, guitar hero Colin. She and her son ﬂank Joni Mitchell (left) while she poses with Stevie Ray Vaughan (right), along with husband Herb Strongeagle and son Brad Strongeagle. His brothers worked at learning guitar; it was a breeze for James. “One gave Colin an Eagles album. He went into his bedroom and came out playing Lyin’ Eyes. Since he was 12, I knew he was gifted. The guitar teacher would phone me, and say ‘I’ve taught him all I can.’” Gigs at the Regina Folk Club, and on Native reserves followed. “Regina was a great feeding ground,” she said. “Everyone was willing to show Colin a riff, and he gives them all credit. “Stan Rogers advised Colin to get an education, not go pro in Grade 10.” James was a sponge, helped by Prairie players such as Big Dave McLean, Amos Garrett, and many more. “He just applied himself and knew what he liked.” So did record companies.

ally was signed for his self-titled 1988 breakthrough album holding monster hits Five Long Years, and Voodoo Thing. That disc launched tours and concerts with the famous and infamous who a disbelieving Munn met. “Growing up in Weyburn, who’d ever think you’d have access to these people?” Blues-guitar god, Stevie Ray Vaughan, heard James play Tin-Pan Alley, then later asked him to put a touring band together. “Stevie was his mentor; it was all timing.” Among a slate of greats, James toured with the Stones’ Keith Richards; opened for Stevie Winwood at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall; played with Celtic crew The Chieftains; met slide-queen Bonnie Raitt, and folk-jazz princess Joni Mitchell; and made friends with soul goddess Mavis Staples. Munn was impressed with stars she basically found as genuine artists.

Classifieds

“Bonnie is really down to earth.” Joni — whom James first met at age six — was nice “and boy, is she sharp.” Meanwhile, Munn moved to the Cowichan Valley in 1993 through contacts with old friend Joanie Sass. When not in their heritage home and studio in North Van, James, wife Heather, and their two kids often visit Munn and Strongeagle. “It’s made our lives very rich,” Munn summed of her son’s success. “Its been a real hoot. We all need happiness in our lives and it’s a pleasure to be able to bring music to people.” Your ticket: What: Colin James and Chris Caddell When: Nov. 13, 7:30 p.m. Where: Cowichan Theatre Tickets: $45.

James Gordon takes a look at our prime minister in his touring satire, Stephen Harper: the Musical

submitted

The puppetry of prime ministering The musical: Satire takes a sharp look at the government of Stephen Harper

John McKinley

News Leader Pictorial

rime Minister Stephen Harper, a puppet? He certainly is in James Gordon’s world. Stephen Harper: The Musical “How to Survive and Thrive in the Dying Days of the Empire of Oil” is a political satire that puts the “ire back in satire,” according to promotional material for a pair of Duncan shows this week. Not a fan of our country’s current leadership? This might be the show for you. “As you can imagine from the title, this new play examines our current Canadian political climate and in particular our Crime Minister Stephen Harper, (who actually doesn’t like to see that word

“climate”, it makes him think of those annoying environmental ‘terrorists’ ),” the event media release states. “This time the production is a one-man show, with James using humour, political commentary, pathos, 18 original songs, spoken word, hundreds of projected images, audience participation and an activist’s passion to show where we are and where we can go as a nation.” The satire features Gordon and his puppet. “Gordon has worked for the CBC and performs across Canada as a musician and actor. From the short video clip on the youtube site, you can get an idea of the performance, which is very relevant to what is happening in the realm of politics and democracy in Canada today,” Mary Annis of the Cowichan chapter of

the Council of Canadians said. The production is touring the country. “He includes a terrific lineup of the huge issues with Harper chopping up Canada from all sides, and how unprogressive he is. (It’s) non-partisan but veryissues-based as I recall,” Norah Chaloner of the Council of Canadians said in an email. “He puts the message all in song and discussion with the puppet — not boring at all and a little rude at times, but right on the mark with the issues.” The Council of Canadians is helping to sponsor the local production, which plays Nov. 13 and 14 at 8 p.m. at the Duncan Garage Showroom, 330 Duncan St, Duncan. Tickets are $20. Call 250-7487246 or email longevityjohn@ shaw.ca.

magine an organization which has donated funds for more than 65 consecutive years to support cancer patient care, research and equipment. Now imagine the commitment of thousands of members hosting socials and teas, bazaars, raffles and other fund-raisers, as well as giving freely of their time to meet their charitable goals. According to Ruth Foster, Director of Cancer Activities for the O.E.S., â€œThere are four categories of annual giving: educational bursaries, equipment, supplies and Cancer Dressings.â€? Last year, $8,362.29 was collected from the sale of cancelled stamps and postcards throughout British Columbia and Yukon to be distributed for Cancer Research or Cancer Dressings, wherever it is needed. (We must thank our friends in the community for keeping us well supplied with stamps.)

p m a t S t u O ďŹ l here ncer Ca

Sunset Chapter #44, Duncan has one of our 39 Cancer Dressing Stations, located downstairs in the Mercury Theatre on Brae Road, Duncan.

Last year, throughout our jurisdiction, 170 dedicated members volunteered 8120 hours producing 69,708 cancer dressings at a cost of $9,599.91. (Weâ€™ve used up inventory on hand, which once again reduced expenses. There is a need for dressings in Northern BC, so these numbers will likely increase next year.)

please

Presently, sterilization is only being done by certain Hospitals and Clinics by trained and qualified staff in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna andd Prince George. The present method of distribution on is - the hospital staff will give the patient a supplyy of cancer dressings to take home. Local cancer patients requiring dressings are asked to contact the Canadian Cancer Society Office at 250-746-4134. Cancer is a dreadful disease without the added burden of the expense of dressings often required. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CHARGE TO THE PATIENT. All that is required is a doctorâ€™s referral. By supporting our Stamp Project, attending bazaars and teas, the Cabaret Night or buying tickets on our annual Cancer Draw, you enable us to continue our efforts in the fight against cancer.

t was a weird week for the Kerry Park Islanders. It all started well enough with a 5-4 overtime victory over the Braves in Saanich last Wednesday and then the Islanders were in euphoria after knocking off the highly-regarded Buccaneers 6-2 in Nanaimo Saturday. But things took a strange twist Sunday afternoon when nothing went right for the Islanders and they lost 7-0 to the Campbell River Storm at Kerry Park Arena. There was no making sense of the results, other than any team can beat any other on any given day. “The parity in the league is actually pretty good,’’ said Islanders’ captain Eric Mansueti. The victory over the Braves featured regulation-time goals from Francis Lapierre-Slicer, Alex Milligan, Armand Uomoleale and

Fast-moving footsteps are heard by Alex Brewer of the Campbell River Storm, as he’s chased from behind by the Kerry Park Islanders’ Cody Short Sunday afternoon at Kerry Park Arena. Braeden Cross and then the overtime winner from Milligan. The Islanders were unstoppable in the second period at Nanaimo, scoring six unanswered goals to erase a 2-0 deficit. Six different players did the scoring: Cody Short, Lapierre-Slicer, Tylor Branzsen, Curtis Csuk, Milligan and David Bittner. Despite last year’s playoff defeat to the Buccaneers by a sweep, “we feel we match up well against Nanaimo,’’ said Mansueti. “They’re pretty solid all through.

We played one of our best games of the year.’’ The Campbell River game was more a case of the Storm playing amazingly well, not so much the Islanders coming out flat. “They work hard and they’ve got skill,’’ said Mansueti. “We didn’t get any bounces. They capitalized on their opportunities.’’ The Storm twice scored goals in rapid succession in the second period — 33 and five seconds apart. The Islanders meet Saanich again Saturday at Kerry Park Arena.

uperb results were obtained by the Duncan Stingrays in their first competition of the season, the Nanaimo Riptides Swim Team’s Fall Invitational. “The Stingrays swimmers should be very pleased with their performances,’’ noted coach Leanne Sirup. “They’ve spent the first five weeks of the 2013-14 season establishing good technical habits and their discipline shone through with numerous (personal bests). “It bodes well for the swimmers’ next competitions as their training will involve greater intensity while maintaining their technical skills.’’ Three newcomers were among the 24 Stingrays in attendance. They were: Mary Paridaen Van Veen, 8; Sophie Paridaen Van Veen, 11; and Rhys Trafford, 12. Mary Paridaen Van Veen achieved a 10 years and under regional AA qualifying time in the 50-metre freestyle. Her time of 43.10 eclipsed the standard of 43.28. This allows Paridaen Van Veen to compete in the Island Regional

Championships behind held in Duncan Jan. 17 to 19. Thirteen members of the ‘Rays managed a complete slate of personal bests. The group included: Allie Bell, 9; Jotei Browne, 13; Heidi Doner, 12; Heather Mackay, 12; Randi Robertson, 13; Ava Smith, 11; Lilly Squire, 13; Tess VanNieuwkerk, 11; Mathias Bell, 15; Oliver Castle, 12; Olin Dahlstrom, 10; Ty Dahlstrom, 8; and Jeremy Kissack, 14. Castle broke the first Stingrays’ club record of the season. His 50 breaststroke time of 39.68 surpassed the previous best mark in the age group of 40.29 set by Kelsey McDaniel in 1992. Five swimmers with personal bests in all their events except one were: Jessica Castle, 10; Emma Hender, 13; Megan Kruger, 10; Mya Smith, 9; and Dylan Kruger, 10. Connor Wardrop, 12, achieved five personal bests while Jamie Bell, 12, had four and James OgiharaKertz, 14, managed three. The Stingrays went right into the Island Pacific Cup on the long weekend where 18 other swimmers were launching into their first meet of the season.

Island volleyball: Determination by Chemainus and Ucluelet makes matches difficult

YOUR STORY, YOUR WAY

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

uncan Christian School Chargers did the expected by winning the Island A senior boys’ volleyball championship on their home court Thursday. But neither Chemainus Secondary nor Ucluelet made it easy on the favourites. The Chargers opened with a 25-18, 25-16 victory over a determined Chemainus team and closed it out with a 25-19, 25-16 win against an equally-stubborn Ucluelet squad. In between the games, Ucluelet defeated Chemainus 26-24, 25-18 that clinched second place. With DCS hosting the provincials Nov. 21 to 23, Ucluelet also gets into the tournament with the Chargers as the second Vancouver Island representative. DCS coach Peter Day was impressed with the effort turned in by both Chemainus and Ucluelet in an underdog role. “I think those teams came out ready to play,’’ he said. “They had nothing to lose.’’ DCS was without Rory McKinlay, one of its leftside hitters, that stretched the already-thin ranks even thinner. “That doesn’t help things,’’ conceded Day. “We’re doing with what we have right now. We only have seven players.’’ The Chargers were definitely pushed by Chemainus, especially in the first set, but managed to stay on top. “I didn’t ever feel like we were in danger,’’ said Day. But there were some anxious moments, with Chemainus doing everything to keep the ball in play — jumping over benches and going to the depths of the out-of-bounds areas. Douglas Groenendijk of DCS and Riley Botting of Ucluelet were named the tournament’s co-MVPs. All-stars included: Alan Park and Yiyi Yan of DCS; Ethan Whitelaw and Garrett Margetts of Chemainus; and Mitchell Saunderson and Elijah Gretsinger from Ucluelet. Next, it’s on to the provincials where Day knows DCS will have its hands full with the competition. “I’m thinking anything better than top six for us is a major achievement,’’ he said.

A tower of power in the form of Nick Kapteyn from DCS rises above the net to play the ball against Chemainus Thursday in the Island A senior boys’ volleyball playoffs.

Becky Bazinet The only Grade 12 player on the Duncan Christian School senior girls’ volleyball team has the temperament and the talent to assume the all-important leadership role. Becky Bazinet, 17, is a big reason for the success being enjoyed by the team. “We have a really solid team this year,’’ she said. “Everyone’s really stepped up to make the team what it is. I feel like I don’t have a lot of the burden but I definitely feel like I have leadership in the team. But they’re definitely very good at being leaders themselves.’’ The high praise for her teammates also extends to Bazinet’s predecessors. “Megan Groenendijk, Jess Wikkerink and the Bakkers, they definitely made me the player I think I am today,’’ Bazinet said. “They definitely shaped me to be the leader that comes on the court and shows leadership and a positive attitude.’’ Coach Dave Vanderschaaf knows the fuel for his team’s fire comes from Bazinet. “She’s really holding onto her own in the sense that she’ll make a mistake or two and come right back the next few points and she’s ready to play and she’s showing that never-give up type of attitude,’’ he said.

Depleted forward ranks a factor

Lineup shuffling: Caps without four of their top six forwards for a busy weekend Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

owichan Valley Capitals’ forward ranks have been stretched rather thin of late and that was evident during three B.C. Hockey League games in as many days. The Caps nipped the Victoria Grizzlies 2-1 Friday night at Cowichan Arena but then lost the rematch 7-2 in Victoria Saturday. The busy weekend concluded with a 6-3 loss to the Kings in Powell River Sunday afternoon. Injuries to Brayden Gelsinger, Colton Kehler and Mason Malkowich left the Caps with gaping holes that were impossible to fill. The team also had to play the last few games without Steen Cooper, who was with Canada West at the

World Junior A Hockey Challenge in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Not many teams can do without four of their top six forwards and expect to survive. “That doesn’t give us an excuse why we’re giving up so many goals,’’ said Caps’ assistant coach Aaron Plumb. But he conceded it was hard on the players normally with the third and fourth lines who’ve been forced to move up one spot on the depth chart. Malkowich is due back this week. And Cooper’s Canada West team finished its tournament with the bronze medal after beating Switzerland 5-3. “It’s going to be good to get him back,’’ Plumb said of Cooper. “He’s a massive part of our team.’’ Plumb said the Caps are still trying to find their identity and the

revolving lineup hasn’t helped the young players, especially, to adjust. “They don’t understand that concept yet of playing defence and stopping it and then going back on offense,’’ said Plumb. Dane Gibson and Jesse Neher, with the winner while playing shorthanded, scored in the home game against the Grizzlies and Gibson had both goals in vain in Victoria. “We really only played bad in eight or nine minutes of the second (period),’’ said Plumb of Saturday’s game. “They are a good team. They work hard. It’s real tough to come back from that.’’ Kyle Horsman, Mitch Ball and Taki Pantziris scored in Powell River for the Caps. It doesn’t get any easier for the Caps, as they visit Salmon Arm Friday, West Kelowna Saturday and Vernon Sunday.

clean defensive slate and just enough offensive production to win is a formula that seems to be working for Cowichan LMG Pringle. Cowichan did it again Saturday in Victoria with a 1-0 Div. 1 Island Soccer League victory over the Lakehill Reds. Steve Scott scored the lone goal 16 minutes into the game off a free kick. He bent a shot around the Lakehill wall that found the bottom corner of the net. “After that, it was kind of a strange game — back and forth,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin. “There was a lot of midfield battles. We worked hard, defended well as we always do.

“It was kind of a grinder game, I guess. We didn’t give them a whole lot of chances. But we didn’t create a whole lot ourselves.’’ Cowichan has still allowed just one goal this season and sits atop the standings at 7-1-1 with a four-point cushion on the Saanich Fusion. But the Fusion has two games in hand. So does Nanaimo United, now at 5-2 and seven points back. Nanaimo and Cowichan face each other Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Ladysmith Turf. “We don’t want to lose to them,’’ said Martin. If you’re a betting person, figure on the game ending scoreless or in a 1-0 victory for either team. “Most of the games against Nanaimo are low-scoring,’’ said Martin. Cowichan United Div. 2 lost 4-0 on the road against Comox Sunday.

Ladies face best and worst

October wrap-up: Vice-captain’s team beats the captain’s crew Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

all can be a beautiful time to play golf. It can also be nasty. Cowichan Golf and Country Club’s ladies’ division members experienced the two extremes during regular Wednesday outings in October. Conditions for Oct. 9 were challenging, to say the least. It was the last competitive game of the season and Ellen Merriam captured the Medal Cup with a net 76. Christa Robson was the runner-up at net 79. Kathy Coates scored the lone birdie on No. 13 while closest-to-the-pin honours went to Robson on No. 8 and Joan Wakelin on No. 15. The winners of the novelty round were: Leigh Forrest, Wendy Bradshaw

and Coates. It was a picturesque sunny day the following week when the captain’s team played against the vice-captain. Captain’s team members included: Mary Braithwaite, Robson, Joyce Willis, Gloria Claxton, Judy Holmes, Kathryn Oliphant, Bradshaw, Charmain Horner, Jeanne Wilkinson, Wakelin, Mandy McKelvie and Val Anderson. Playing for the victorious vice-captain’s team were: Melinda Spoor, Arlene Lepp, Rosemary Branting, Leigh Forrest, Nancy Munro, Ellen Lyon, Louise Ketilson, Marianne Hunt, Doreen White, Peggy Robertson, Coates and Mazine Klee. Branting made a birdie on No. 4. The K.P. winners for the respective holes were: Pat Molyneaux (No. 6), Lyon (No. 8), Robson (No. 13) and Braithwaite (No. 15).

Second place a great result for Ridenour against older girls in senior race

Frances Kelsey Grade 9 student Desirae Ridenour had an amazing run during the provincial cross country meet at Aldergrove Lake Park. Ridenour placed second out of 232 racers in the senior girls’ category against numerous Grade 11 and 12 athletes.

Ridenour completed the trek in cold and wet conditions in 16:14.79, less than two seconds behind Salmon Arm’s Glynis Sim’s 16:13.05 mark. The Kelsey junior girls who placed eighth out of 26 teams included: Nyah Miranda (Grade 8), Kate Farley (Grade 8), Halle de Valk Zaiss (Grade 9), Kara

Labelle (Grade 8) and Julianna McKinnon (Grade 8). Miranda was 26th in the junior race, Farley 42nd, de Valk Zaiss 57th, Labelle 115th and McKinnon 160th. Coach Corene Gillis was very pleased with the results and the commitment and determination of the girls.

Jung No. 1 in MMA bout, even with one good leg

Fight night: Main event caps a great card despite no opponent for Williams Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

othing was going to stop Shane Jung from competing in Saturday night’s fight card at the Eagles Hall. “I actually blew my knee out two weeks ago,’’ said Jung. “My ACL was completely gone.’’ But the Black Box MMA co-owner climbed into the ring anyway despite obvious limitations to win the World Mixed Martial Arts League featherweight title over Jon Joe from Port Alberni in the featured event. “Walking in the ring on one leg was tricky,’’ conceded Jung. He still made short work of Joe, winning at 2:20 of the first round on a TKO due to strikes. There’s no way Jung was going to disappoint the crowd that came out, especially after a kickboxing match featuring Johnny (Two Feathers) Williams and scheduled opponent Dillon Brown of Victoria didn’t happen. “The guy didn’t show up to weigh in and didn’t show up to fight,’’ said Jung. He figured there must have been unforeseen circumstances based on Brown’s proven track record. “This guy has a lot of fights, a lot of wins,’’ said Jung. “I hold him in high regard.’’ There were seven other bouts on the undercard to keep the fans entertained.
