Trustee hopefuls make pitch to sparse crowd Educating the public: Huge parent concerns the past two years in the district after board firing not reflected in meeting turnout Don Bodger

otential debate topics smouldered but were left on the backburner during Thursday’s public meeting of Cowichan School District 79 board of trustee candidates at Cowichan Secondary School’s Quamichan Campus. The format did not allow for questions to be taken from the public or any debate between candidates. Each of the 17 candidates provided what amounted to a verbal resume of their backgrounds, answered a pre-determined question and summarized why people should vote for them. All were kept on a short leash to comply with tight time limits. Despite some hot-button issues surrounding the school district, such as the firing of the previous board that led to the appointment of Mike McKay as official trustee for the past two years, a crowd of less than 100 people attended the forum — many of them family members of the candidates. Ellen Oxman was part of that board fired for not complying with the provincial government’s budget stipulations. She states on her website she will support a balanced budget, but wanted to stir the pot about her reasons for voting for an unbalanced budget previously but obviously realized it wasn’t the time or the place. She did say, however, that “we went everywhere we could to meet with the community’’ and “we committed to putting forward a needs budget.’’ Oxman is aligned with Deb Foster, Kayla Barrett and Connie Buckner in their campaigns under the banner “Your Voice For Cowichan Public Schools.” There’s also a group of seven, run-
ning under a Students First banner, that consists of Keith Chicquen, Rob Hutchins, Barb de Groot, Candace Spilsbury, Joe Thorne, Cathy Schmidt and Joanne de Lure. The other six candidates running as independents are: Dana Arthurs, Amy Matamba, Roger Chin, Randy Doman, Amrik Prihar and Elizabeth Croft. “I’m looking forward to working on solutions with whatever team the public votes for,’’ said Matamba. The 10 candidates outside the Students First campaigners all vowed to put kids first in their decision-making as well. Even though there was no opportunity for candidates to challenge statements made by the others, some sneers were visible around the table and a few potshots exchanged. “I would not like to see a board of seven people who think exactly the same way,’’ said Oxman. “We selected a group of people with a diverse skill set but are also independent thinkers,’’ Chicquen pointed out. “We are a group of individuals from different backgrounds and beliefs, who have come together because we have the same values and objectives for School District 79,’’ explained de Lure. “I joined the Students First team to respect the B.C. Schools Act and pass a balanced budget,’’ said Hutchins. To balance or not to balance the budget was a question that still resonated with other candidates. “I do not support submitting a deficit budget for all sorts of reasons,’’ said Spilsbury. “We, as a board, cannot be effective if we are fired.’’ “As a trustee, I will work hard to focus all the available dollars we can to go into the classroom,’’ said Doman. “I’m not content to balance budgets at the expense of students,’’ said Buckner. more on page 4

Police investigating serious attack on woman
A woman is in Victoria hospital with what may be serious injuries following Friday’s early morning assault near Stoltz Road, police say. “North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP responded to a call for service early this morning (Oct. 31) in the Stoltz Road area of North Cowichan,” an email from local RCMP Cpl. Krista Hobday says.
“An investigation is ongoing into a complaint of a serious assault. “Police were able to arrest the suspect at the scene, and he is currently in custody at North Cowichan/Duncan detachment. “The victim has been airlifted to Victoria General Hospital where she is undergoing treatment for her injuries.”
Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 3 The suspect and victim are known to each other but it is not, at this time, believed to be a domestic relationship,” she noted. “There is no concern for public safety.” Names have not been released. Witnesses, or any other details, can report to the police at 250-748-5522.

Watermain Chlorination South End Water System As part of an ongoing program of providing quality water to our customers, please be advised that the Municipality of North Cowichan, Utilities Department, will be undertaking routine watermain flushing in various areas of the South End water system between Friday, October 31 and Friday, November 7, 2014 inclusive. Users may experience some chlorine odour and flavor. There may be short periods of low pressure and discolouration of water. Commercial establishments, such as laundromats and beauty salons will receive advance warning of flushing in their area if a request for such notification is received. Municipal staff will try to minimize any inconvenience. Your patience is appreciated. For further information, contact the Operations Department at 250-746-3106. In no case can responsibility be accepted for any damage arising out of the use of discoloured water.
an international director. She’s living her dream; her heart’s desire. But Michelle must be tough, because it’s a business that can really knock you over like a tsunami.” MacLaren’s wake left Grade 12 students with an informed reality of making entertaining episodes of Thrones, including one she screened starring Bart the bear. That scene was shot in Ireland where Bart was pitted against Brienne (Gwendoline Christie) armed with only a wooden sword. The darkly brutal scene bristled with realism, complete with muddy characters and bloody wounds, rotting teeth and ragged clothes — all vetted by MacLaren and crew. “Push yourself beyond your comfort zone,” she urged students, reflecting the trials of her gritty, Gothic cast. “Challenge yourself all the time — think outside the box and expose yourself. You only live once, so why not take a risk?” She advised writing oneself a letter, listing dreams and desires, then opening it 10 years after. “You might surprise yourself.” As for MacLaren’s next cinematic dream, she wasn’t telling. “I’m developing new projects,” she said.
orth Cowichan mayoral candidate Damir Wallener has a different take on what to do with the E&N rail line. He wants to hand it to the high-tech industry as a testing ground. “At this point, despite the considerable efforts of the Island Corridor Foundation, we are no closer to commuter rail on the E&N corridor than we were five years ago,” Wallener said in a media release. “It’s time to at least consider a backup plan.” Wallener suggests giving companies such as Google, Tesla, and Uber to use as a test platform for a transportation network dedicated to Damir Wallener: a fleet of selfdriving vehicles. leapfrog Eventually, these vehicles could be summoned to your home with a tap on your iPad or a text from your smartphone. “This project could remain under ICF oversight, as they already have relationships in place across the many jurisdictions that the E&N corridor crosses. “But instead of hoping for a commuter train service that is unlikely to ever arrive, we can leapfrog our way to the transportation network of the future.” He says those who have travelled in cities where Uber provides service will recognize the plan’s basic concept. But where Uber provides a conventional car and driver, this service would send an electric -powered vehicle using Google’s self-driving technology. The corridor would become a limited access thoroughfare for these vehicles, with on- and off-ramps in populated areas. “Companies need large-scale deployments to create next-generation services. We are in the unique position of having a transportation corridor to dedicate to this endeavour. The potential for injection of investment dollars and jobs into the local economy is extraordinary.”

Could Ladysmith leave Nanaimo for Cowichan?
from page one
“We need to be fiscally responsible, working hard to balance the budget,’’ said de Lure. “It is poor management to budget for more money going out than you have coming in.’’ Another idea raised around the table dealt with amalgamating school districts, with Foster voicing her opinion. “I say ‘no’ to amalgamation with Nanaimo School District,’’ she said, citing the amalgamation with the Lake Cowichan district many years go as an example where some areas were left out of important decision-making.
The idea of Ladysmith leaving the Nanaimo district to join Cowichan is one of Hutchins’ pet projects. Ladysmith residents are angry about recent school closures there and a perception they are neglected by Nanaimo. Hutchins states the shift will also better align the school district with the regional district. All candidates bring a wealth of experience in education — be it teaching backgrounds or administration, special needs, arts, previous trustee service, work with parent advisory committees and more — but did not provide much in the way of specifics, if elected, although a few ideas were presented.
“I don’t think the board meetings are enough,’’’ said Prihar. “I believe there should be more communication with the parents. We should have round tables on a regular basis.’’ Oxman suggested moving open board meetings back to 6:30 p.m. to give more working parents the chance to attend. None of the candidates downplayed the difficult task that lies ahead for the district to get back on track after the past two years and all vowed to work hard. “Being a member of a board is not easy and there are a lot of challenges in this district,’’ said Schmidt. “With problems, come solutions.’’

Machine making every vote count Election 2014: North Cowichan moves to electronic vote counting machines
Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
F
elt-tip pens replace pencils to mark ballots being fed into electronic vote-counting machines during North Cowichan’s Nov. 15 civic election. Those machines — to speed result counting — will be used by the municipality’s estimated 23,598 eligible voters at seven voting places, explained election officer Mary Beth MacKenzie. She demonstrated the machine, resembling a photocopier, at a recent all-candidates’ forum in Maple Bay’s fire hall. Inside voting booths, registered voters will shade ballot ovals for up to six of 20 council candidates, one of three mayoral hopefuls, up to seven of 17 Cowichan school trustees — and to answer yes or no to one referendum question. That opinion question asks: “Are you in favour of conducting a study to explore the costs and benefits of the amalgamation of the municipalities of North Cowichan and Duncan?” Electors then simply take their ballot to the voting machine and insert it.
✘
The taxpayer tab to rent those machines from a Victoria firm was about $18,000, including technical support and ballots, MacKenzie said. “The memory card is sealed so no one can tamper with it. “We hope to have everything on our website by 8:30 to 8:45 p.m.,” she said. “The last election (2011) it was 2 a.m. when we got the results from Chemainus, where there were lots of voters.” North Cowichan’s voter turnout for that three-year term — now stretched by Victoria to four-year civic terms — was only about 32%, she noted. Still, it is hoped the machines will jack that result number. “It takes results as each ballot is put in. “If there’s a judicial recount ordered, we can take a voting machine with the ballots to the courthouse, where ballots will be (re)fed into the machine.” MacKenzie explained the counting machines are not voting machines, similar to those used during a controversial Florida state vote in recent decades. Machine software detects spoiled ballots to ensure accuracy. “Everyone gets a chance to fix their (spoiled) ballot,” added MacKenzie. Voters must be 18 years old or older, be a Canadian citizen, have lived in B.C. for at least six months, have lived in North Cowichan for at least 30 days, and not be legally

Director’s future focus of a kitchen table discussion in Cowichan Station
Election 2014: Long-time Area E director Duncan facing challenges from four corners John McKinley
News Leader Pictorial
T
he kitchen table is not the type of forum to lend itself to biting political debate. Still, the down-home charm and relaxed atmosphere of Sunday’s Area E all-candidates’ “kitchen table” forum in Cowichan Station didn’t disguise the central question being posed to the voters: Is it time for a change? Running to represent the communities of Sahtlam, Glenora and Cowichan Station after Nov. 15 are Nathan
Barker, Dan Ferguson, Janice Macalister, Alison Nicholson and incumbent Loren Duncan. They spent very little time at the front of the hall debating the issues or fielding questions from the crowd of about 100 jammed into the tiny Cowichan Station Hub gym. Instead, they circulated separately from table to table around the room holding court kitchentable style with the voters in intimate groups of about a dozen at a time. They heard transit, trails, rural lifestyle and — most particularly — water were of paramount importance.
Each of the four challengers spent most of their time sharing their thoughts on these and other issues, but they also found opportunities to suggest there may be a better way than the status quo. Macalister was the most blunt. She targeted Duncan’s surprise announcement that evening of a $100,000 grant for a trail project as an example of a lack of public process during his tenure. She didn’t criticize the project itself, just the process. “How much public consultation was done?” the Sahtlam resident and former school trustee asked. “First of all, you need to hear what the community has to say.” She said she stood
for more community consultation and a more holistic approach to governance, with the CVRD directors working together for the good of the district, rather than parochial infighting. Ferguson also expressed dissatisfaction with the way the CVRD was advocating for rural residents, saying protecting the sustainability of the local water and food supply were his priorities. He too favours more community consultation. He said he used to sit on the area advisory planning commission, but walked away because he wasn’t happy with its direction. “I think the CVRD is in deep shit — pardon the expression — with agriculture and water,” he said. “ I don’t see anyone
Managing Your MoneY
Financial planning for blended families
B
lended families are moving closer to the mainstream – and might include you. The 2011 Census counted “step-families” (Statistics Canada’s term for blended families) for the first time and found that they represent about one in eight families with children*. However, there is also an untold number of Canadians who are part of a blended family who do not live in the same household because all the children are adults and have moved on. Taken together, the reported number of blended families and the unreported number represents a large demographic.
Money matters are challenging in any relationship and hold special importance in a second (or third) marriage or common-law relationship – especially when they include children from previous and current relationships. Estate planning is equally challenging in these situations. Consider these ‘blended’ financial and estate planning points: • If you and your partner have separate financial plans, make it
a priority to come together and develop a cohesive plan that will help best attain your new family’s objectives. • Determine how you are going to treat all your children equally. • Establish an RESP for every child that does not already have one. • Customize your estate plan to reflect your personal situation to ensure your estate will be divided equitably to children from both previous and current relationships. • One of the main mistakes couples in blended families make is to designate each other as the direct beneficiary of all their assets or to hold all their assets in joint ownership. Upon the death of the first spouse, everything goes to the survivor, potentially disinheriting one branch of the family. That is why a standard will is often not recommended for blended families. Other strategies include dividing the estate at the time of death of the first parent or using a spousal trust to protect the assets for both families.
It’s crucial to speak to your legal advisor regarding a will with terms appropriate for your blended family. • Many couples choose to hold property jointly so title passes automatically to the survivor on the death of the spouse and avoids probate fees. (This does not apply in Québec.) But if you have children or other dependants from a previous relationship and want them to share in the value of your property, then holding title to the property jointly with the right of survivorship is often not appropriate. Financial and estate planning for blended families is complicated. Talk to your financial and legal professional advisors about the right strategies for your personal situation. *The Daily, Wednesday, September 19, 2012 – 2011 Census of Population: Families, households, marital status, structural type of dwelling, collectives -http://www.statcan.gc.ca/dailyquotidien/120919/dq120919a-eng.htm
there advocating.” Considerably younger than his opponents, Barker said he is running because of a lifelong love for politics. The Glenora resident favours pushing a more modern form of interactive communication with the electorate. He said he was not in favour of politics involving directors trading political favours to advance their pet projects. “That’s when spending gets out of control,” he said. “My whole thing about municipal politics is that it is interactive. It’s a conversation. I don’t have to have it one certain way.” Nicholson is an ecolo-
gist by training, a small business owner by career and a small-scale farmer by choice. A resident of southern Cowichan Station, she has played a key role in the establishment of the Cowichan Station Hub and prefers a leadership style based on the collaborative model that brought that into being. She advocates thoroughly mapping the area aquifer, giving the Koksilah River the same attention currently being given the Cowichan River, and using the official community plan review to cement the community’s vision for the future. Meanwhile, Duncan,
who has held his seat since 1999 largely without a serious challenge, was clearly ready to fight to retain it. He cited his longstanding advocacy for the Cowichan River, his success building area trails and stopping the City of Duncan from expanding into the area and his responsibility with the public purse as reasons to vote for him. He said he has proven himself as a difficult adversary when anyone threatens the needs of Area E. “I hear I have way too much experience and we need less. I don’t think so,” he said. “Change is likely for the worse.”

On kitchen tables and other random election thoughts Election 2014: Education lines being drawn
A
few observations as the civic election campaigns get into the home stretch: • It might not work for larger groups, but a tip of the hat to Sunday’s “kitchen table” format for the Cowichan Station all-candidates forum. The way it let candidates and voters mix in an intimate, relaxed setting offered the best ratio of real connection to time spent that we’ve seen in a long time. • We remain very curious about what statement the voters will make in the school board election. It does not appear another deficit budget is likely no matter who gets voted in, but two groups have clearly This election formed. They reflect the division that could see has characterized the board for the past decade. some stateWill the voters endorse one side or ments made the other? Or will they say it’s time to wipe the slate clean and lean toward the six candidates who have chosen not to align? • With the school district in danger of dividing on party lines and alliances forming in North Cowichan, are we seeing the dawn of partisan politics at the local level? We certainly hope not. • Ian Morrison and Mary Marcotte will be back at the CVRD. Pat Weaver, Bruce Fraser. Gerry Giles, Ruth Hartmann and Barb Lines are gone. Depending on the election results, we could see a huge turnover on the board. • A big thank you to all the candidates who have submitted profiles to our special election tab at cowichannewsleader.com. There has been a steady stream of readers stopping by the site which offers a great one-stop shop to compare resumes and platforms. • Finally, there are still some candidates who have yet to submit a profile. It’s a great way to reach the voters. What are you waiting for? Just email it to editro@cowichannewsleader.com.

Municipal politicians should stick to municipal politics Tom Fletcher Black Press
E
very year when B.C.’s municipal politicians get together to preach to the provincial cabinet, there comes a point in the maze of resolutions where things go
sideways. Last year it was a misinformed, impossible demand to ban all traces of genetic engineering. Before that they thumbed their mobile phones and denounced wireless power meters. Both votes passed by narrow margins in a half-empty chamber, with many delegates focused on the serious community issues they are elected to address. This year it was a charge led by Burnaby to denounce the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion. And this time it was defeated. Credit for this sudden attack of common sense goes largely to North Cowichan Council-
lor Al Siebring. Here’s part of his address to the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are elected to handle things like roads and water and sewer and land use, police, fire, garbage. We’re not here to talk about social policy, child poverty or heaven forbid, pipelines. “Those kinds of things dilute our credibility as an organization. We’re becoming a socialpolicy activist group rather than a group of municipal politicians. “Half of this resolutions book is stuff that’s outside of our purview…. If you want to do social policy, get your butt elected to the provincial legislature.” Burnaby, New Westminster, Victoria and Vancouver were undeterred. In tax-rich urban centres one can make a living at local politics. And grandstanding works. Burnaby Councillor Nick Volkow rattled off a jumbled history of refineries in his region, noting the sole surviving Chevron
Police have issued their usual fall warnings to drivers. Wet roads and bad visibility are now things that should be expected on our roadways and drivers need to adjust their behaviour accordingly.

plant is bringing in crude by trucks and trains because the 60-year-old pipeline is over-subscribed. He didn’t explain how stopping a pipeline upgrade would keep it open, or improve oil safety. Volkow repeated the protester myth that a new pipeline would introduce diluted bitumen to the coast. Trans Mountain started shipping dilbit in the late 1980s. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar and others from along the Interior pipeline route pointed out another flaw. If southern cities want to wander outside their mandate to make this gesture, why target only this pipeline and ignore rail lines and highways that cross the same rivers and streams? The comedy of all this was illustrated by Councillor Robin Cherbo from Nelson, who assured delegates he uses synthetic oil in his vehicle. Is that derived from organic sunflowers? And what significance does that gesture have compared with the gasoline and jet fuel that
carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler? This is why election-time posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise and information. The Trans Mountain pipeline starts in Alberta and branches into the U.S. It is by definition federal jurisdiction. NEB hearings on its expansion continue, with expert input, especially on shipping risks, from the B.C. government, Green MLA Andrew Weaver and others. Municipal politicians should pipe down and defend their own performance.

Remember how they voted last time
Dear editor Our last Board of Education was fired in 2012 because it submitted a deficit budget, which violates the School Act and is against the law. The public needs to know not all nine trustees supported submitting this deficit budget. Only five supported it and the other four said no. But because the majority rules, it was passed. There are five people from this previous board running again in this election, so let’s be clear about who did and who did not break the law. Deb Foster and Ellen Oxman were part of the group that voted in favour of the deficit budget which got the board fired, while Amrik Prihar, Candace Spilsbury and Cathy Schmidt voted against sending a deficit budget. On. Nov. 15, please choose wisely and vote for candidates that put students first before politics. Susan Myers Lake Cowichan

to them. I know there’s enough Duncan bylaws that aren’t going away that are unsuitable for the rural/farming parts of North Cowichan, that there’s no way I would ever want Duncan bylaws contaminating North Cowichan.

Don Bodger
Famous faces attending the first Duncan Comic Book Expo at the Cowichan Exhibition included Bat Girl (a.k.a. Claire Keen of Shawnigan Lake), displaying a Batgirl collector comic. The show was a huge success, with people packed into a small meeting room at the Exhibition, prompting calls for a move to a larger space next year and possibly an additional date for people to share stories and collector comics, video games, toys and more. Items were available for sale, trade or just for interested people to browse. likely try to rubber-stamp it as a done deal because it would prefer to tell one municipality a ‘no’ to any reasonable request than to face a negotiation with two — as in provincial share of local police services. The B.C. government ideology offloads such costs to force local businesses to consider hiring security. Protecting the interests of local voters is a value we need in our valley in the face of federal and provincial efforts to offload on the backs of local taxpayers. Since the 20% corporate giveaway our local needs have suffered. That fiscal hole was the excuse to neglect our local children’s educational needs and to embezzle our local school district sovereignty. Dee Shoolingin Duncan

Or, can we develop more businesses using the resources we have? M. Tooker Chemainus
We don’t need big city values in Duncan
Dear editor What’s wrong with Duncan looking and feeling like a small town? That’s its charm and why folks like it here. It’s not the big city with its towers and condos and that’s a good thing.

North Cowichan doesn’t need city bylaws
Dear editor So, one of the questions city and municipal voters must ask themselves this time around is, do we want North Cowichan to amalgamate with Duncan (and vice versa)? Reason number one for North Cowichan residents to say absolutely not is that suddenly all Duncan’s bylaws would apply
Dear editor I loved the comment made by Andrew Crane in a recent Your turn. I, too, get frustrated with individuals who don’t know how to use the roundabouts, particularly when they don’t signal their intentions. Maybe the problem is no one has been told what the rules of the roundabouts are. It is my belief you should signal when exiting only so those waiting to enter know what you’re going to do. (Correct, according to ICBC) Then maybe the police might want to sit at a roundabout and ticket those who do it incorrectly. Now, let’s talk about merge lanes. Drivers need to know the difference between “yield” and “merge.” Merge lanes are longer in length so you don’t have to stop and can get up to speed and merge into the oncoming traffic. Spend some time watching in front of Baljet’s sometime and you will soon know what I am talking about. Please don’t stop awaiting traffic to clear at a merge lane. Ron Rhode Cowichan

Heart disease killing more women than men
And yet: deadly condition still largely considered a man’s problem Kathy Santini
News Leader Pictorial
I
n the industrialized world, heart disease kills more women than men. Shockingly, given this stat, only a small percentage of heart research is done on women, compared to men. Dr. Karin Humphries, an associate professor at the University of British Columbia and the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s professor in women’s heart health said the number of research studies on women is low, but improving. “Twenty years ago, I would have said there was no research being done on women,” the doctor said. According to Carolyn Thomas, a health advocate and heart attack survivor who lives with heart disease, at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress held recently in Vancouver Oct. 25 to 26, only 12 of 500 studies presented involved women. In an area
killing more women than men.Three years before, Thomas said the numbers were even worse: only 4 of 700. Humphries said the lack of research is starting to change. In the U.S., the National Institutes of Health now mandate that grant recipients must include women in their research, except where it doesn’t make sense — say for prostate cancer. “We absolutely have to (do more research), because it’s killing more women than men,” Dr. Humphries said. The U.S. has also legislated sharing it, so the research can improve women’s health. “I can’t help but think we (Canada) will follow,” the UBC professor said. North of the 49th, the Heart and Stroke Foundation now asks researchers if their research involves women. That’s taken into account when granting funding, Humphries said. more on page 11
Despite the fact heart disease kills more women than men in the indutrialized world, research into the disease is largely focused on men.

Women urged to pay attention to whatever unusual symptoms they may be feeling
The facts about heart disease Some fast facts about women’s heart disease, from the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s publication HeartSmart Women: A guide to living with and preventing heart disease and stroke. • The numbers: The biggest health problem facing women is heart disease and stroke. They kill more than seven times as many Canadian women than breast cancer does. According to Stats Canada, in 2008, 34,909 women died of heart and stroke disease, compared to 4,955 who died of breast cancer. • Risk factors: Your risk of heart disease increases if close family members - parents, brothers or sisters - developed heart disease before age 55, or for female relatives, before menopause. First Nations people and those of African or South Asian descent are more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes and therefore are at greater risk of heart disease and stroke than the general population. Smoking, physical inactivity, high blood pressure and obesity greatly increase your chances of getting heart disease. Among women of all ages, smoking is the biggest risk factor for heart attacks. Heart disease is more than two times likely to develop in inactive people. Women with diabetes are three to seven times more likely to get heart disease than women who don’t have it. As you age, your risk of heart disease increases. • Warning Signals: Heart attack warning signals include: chest discomfort, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, light-headedness and discomfort in the upper body, including the neck, jaw, shoulders, arms and back. • Women often report they are too busy caring for their families to take time out for themselves for diagnosis, treatment and tests - until they suffer a major heart attack. • Hormone replacement therapy should not be used to prevent heart disease.
from page 10
One explanation for the higher number of deaths is that women’s symptoms can present differently than men’s. Humphries said the subject is, “very controversial.” “Yes and no,” she said. “I get very nervous when people say the symptoms are different than in men.” Chest pain — the Hollywood stereotype of a man clutching his chest as he staggers out of his golf cart — is the most common symptom in both women and men. “But not everyone has chest pain,” she said. “Women are more likely to have multiple symptoms.” The H and SF website said atypical symptoms can include: nausea, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, sweating, pain in the arm, throat, jaw or any pain that is unusual. Thomas, who did experience crushing chest pain when she went to emergency in April 2008 for what she later learned was her first heart attack is a fierce advocate for informing women about possible “atypical,” symptoms. Her blog, myheartsisters.org has had over 1.6 million visits from visitors in 190 countries. It tackles a variety of subjects regarding heart health and was rated as one of the top 10 blogs on heart disease, by Healthline, an organization that supplies medical

women can be more difficult.” During the following two weeks, Thomas said more attacks occurred and it wasn’t until the day after an agonizing plane ride home from Ottawa that she finally went to emergency and was told she was having a heart attack. “I didn’t want to be that person who turned the plane around,” she said. “I was worried that it would turn out to be nothing again.” Humphries said it’s common for women not to go to their doctors because of their atypical symptoms; they don’t want to bother anyone. “Women are programmed to think of others before themselves, so
they tend to delay,” she said. “The American Heart Association and the H and SF are trying to change that. Don’t be afraid of bothering anyone, you need to get past that. No one will think less of you if you go to emergency and it’s not a heart attack. Better to go and have it looked at.” Thomas’ suggested resources for those who want to learn more about the subject?

.C. communities care. So do the Black Press newspapers that directly serve those communities. Reflecting and raising awareness of that caring spirit is part of the core mandate of the News Leader Pictorial and every Black Press community newspaper. The NLP is now part of an exciting new initiative undertaken by Black Press in British Columbia that works to further communicate the good work being done in communities, and provide a new opportunity for organizations and individuals to tap into that fountain of caring. BlackPress4Good.com is an online platform that brings the popular and successful phenomenon of crowdfunding to Black Press readers. Charitable projects, causes and campaigns are now able to deliver their message on the community level, safely and securely, in an online format to reach the vast digital audience and funding sources. “Crowdfunding provides a means for individuals,organizations and
Black Press
businesses to raise money by appealing to the public,” explained Andrew Franklin, project lead for Black Press. “This platform is community focused and will be enhanced through the power of your local newspaper. The audience will be very aware of the campaigns and it will be up to the public as to whether they make a donation or not. Early indications show very positive signs. “In addition to the exposure through your community media, the success of the campaigns will also rely on active social media participation. Anyone can set up a campaign, however there are safeguards in place to ensure each campaign is legitimate,” Franklin said. Black Press has launched this new community service in partnership with FundRazr, the plat-
form at the roots of BlackPress4Good.com. More than 40,000 people and groups around the world have raised in excess of $50 million via FundRazr. Fundraisers register online via the link on cowichannewsleader. com’s home page, provide information about their objectives and fund recipients, and their project profiles are then posted on a dedicated website page to reach out to readers, who can monitor the progress of a specific cause. Supporters make their donations via PayPal, a secure and well-established digital payment system. Under 10 per cent of the total amount raised will be levied by FundRazr, PayPal and Black Press to recover the administration, support, marketing and hosting costs associated with this initiative.
Readers will also have the opportunity to be inspired and touched by the good news content of the Black Press 4Good blog, at blogs.blackpress4good. com/. This site’s content is solely based on the good news stories being reported in Black Press papers across the province. Be introduced to the countless individuals and organizations who are making their communities better places to live. BlackPress4good.com and facebook.com/blackpress4good have been created to help channel and enhance that caring spirit. Black Press is Canada’s largest independently owned newspaper company, with more than 150 titles in print and online in British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Hawaii, California and Ohio. —Black Press

Men’s health a November focus
y the way, did you hear: • Anne Hodge is spreading the word that this November, Island Health, the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Cowichan branch and the Prostate Centre have joined forces to raise awareness for men’s health. About 11 % of men in Canada will experience major depression in the course of their lives. More than three times as many men as women die by suicide in Canada. In 2013, it was estimated that 811 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer on Vancouver Island. • Check out the stained glass mosaic artwork of Veronica Scott this month at the Mariners Market & Espresso Bar at Maple Bay. • Jackie and Jim Barker of the Garden House Foundation are offering a huge thank you to all who took part in the recent charity book sale at Bonner School. About $9,800 was raised to support local families in crisis and animals in need. Ten Old Books, Gallowglass Books, Bucknucks Books, Bibles for Missions, The Sassy Lion, The Island Savings Youth Team, Brentwood College student volunteers and the four Grade 6 and 7 classes at Bonner School were among those who went above and beyond. • Best wishes to Cowichan Valley principal Jann Drake, who retired after working with

ON STAGE
So your Sunfest dreams go beyond front-row tickets? You think you are ready to step out of the crowd at B.C.’s largest country music festival and on to the stage? Now’s your chance. On Thursday, festival organizers announced
The Road to Sunfest Contest, which will give country, rock and folk acts a chance to join headliner Keith Urban and a raft of other big name acts on the valley’s biggest stage. From Nov. 3 to Nov. 15 performers are encouraged to submit a live performance video to the Sunfest Country’s Facebook page. Music
industry professionals will pick five bands to face off in a series of battles during the next few months in front of a live audience in Victoria. Both bands and solo artists are welcome with the winner playing Sunfest in August. Contest details are online at www.sunfestconcerts.com.

Robert Castle (Marinus Vesseur) worries about his ill mother, Claire (Gloria Saesura) who is attended by Holly Fitch (Breann Landry) in Mercury Players’ timely drama Kiss The Moon, Kiss The Sun playing in November at the Mercury Theatre.
Sun kisses the human condition in upcoming play
Mercury Players: production explores caring and relationships in everyday life Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
A
rt imitates life in Cowichan, and in other Canadian communities, during Mercury Players’ timely social-drama Kiss The Moon, Kiss The Sun. The plot is particularly relevant, given Our Cowichan Communities’ Health Network recently released, sweeping medical report covering some types of struggles explored in Kiss. Director Marinus Vesseur is cast as mentally-challenged man Robert Castle, who meets wayward pregnant woman Holly Fitch (Breann Landry) at a bus stop, and invites her home for a visit. Robert and mom Claire (Gloria Saesura) take a shine to Holly.
So does English-literature professor Simon Garvey (Alex Gallacher) who formerly taught Holly, and, we learn, still bears a torch for her. Their confined, sometimes chaotic, world contrasts to the medical universe of Dr. Alvin Andrews (Michael Terides) who advises Holly. Andrews gets caught up in Kiss’ main conflict: who will care for aging, ailing Claire — and who will care for confused Robert, who has the mental level of an eight-year boy old, due to an accident. “This play’s just really about what people go through in life,” Saesura said. “We all know someone who’s been there.” Vesseur agreed, applauding Norm Foster’s insightful script, set in present-day Toronto. “It feels so real and touches on the human condition,” he said. “It’s about the here and now; ordinary people and what they go through. The moral is that caring for people can be as fulfilling as any other career.” But as Cowichan caregivers will explain, helping an ill senior or a challenged person can be especially taxing. “Robert’s care becomes a whole issue when
Claire falls sick and worries about his future,” continued Vesseur. “She doesn’t want Robert to go into an institution.” Those kinds of conundrums happen around us daily, explained producer Cathy Schmidt. “This play shows a different side of what people go through everyday so the audience will follow along as if they’re part of the cast.” But for folks who don’t especially see various personal traumas outside their world, Kiss will fill in reality’s blanks, she explained. “Maybe this play will make people open their eyes to what’s happening today; Claire’s concerns are quite real: who will care for Robert?”
Your ticket What: Kiss The Moon; Kiss The Sun When: Nov. 6 to 8, 13 to 15 at 7:30 p.m.; Nov. 9 at 2 p.m. Where: Mercury Theatre, Brae Road, Duncan Tickets: $20, $15 seniors and students, at the door, Ten Old Books, and First Chiropractic Clinic
t may not be Christmas in July, given it’s a month before the religious holiday, but the Vinyl Cafe Christmas tour is coming to Duncan, Nov. 26. The bad news is that it’s already sold out. Written and hosted by popular CBC host Stuart McLean, the popular one-hour radio show, which runs on Sundays and features stories, essays and music about Dave, the owner of a second-hand record store and his wife Morley, children Sam and Stephanie, their neighbours and friends. Since 1998 McLean has toured with the Vinyl Cafe to theatres across Canada and the United States, playing towns from St. John’s, Newfoundland to Whitehorse in the Yukon; from Bangor, Maine to Seattle, Wash. More than two million people listen to his show every weekend on CBC, Sirius Satellite Radio and on a growing number of Public Radio stations across the U.S. The proStuart McLean: gram is also broadcast occasionally packed house on the BBC. For Vinyl Cafe fans, some trivia to keep you going until the Christmas show: • The star of the show, Dave, grew up in Big Narrows, on Cape Breton Island. Painfully awkward and a terrible liar, Dave is prone to small accidents that he can escalate into major ones. As the saying goes, ‘go big or go home.’ • Wife Morley loves to figure skate. Fittingly enough, she and Dave first met at an ice rink in Providence, Rhode Island. • Son Sam, not son of Sam, is inept at sports, but plays goalie on both his hockey team and the girls’ field hockey team. Hobbies including knitting and helping neighbours. • The family dog, Arthur, has a penchant for soft ice cream and steals socks and potatoes. He once starred as a sheep in a Christmas pageant. • Galway, the family cat, was intentionally brought on one family vacation and accidentally came on another. But he was not, repeat not, strapped to the top of the car like poor Seamus, presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s long-suffering family dog. This year’s Christmas show, which McLean is touring around the country, lasts two hours and features two new stories about one of Canada’s favourite fictional families. Your ticket What: The Vinyl Cafe Christmas Tour, with Stuart McLean. Where: Cowichan Theatre, 2687 James St., Duncan. When: Nov. 26, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets: Sold out, but tickets are $54.50 for adults, $34.50 for youth 18 and under (ID required at the door).

OPEN BOARD MEETING TIME CHANGE The Open Board Meeting of the Board of Education on Wednesday November 5, 2014 will begin at 4:00 pm in the Boardroom at the School Board Office.
Your Veterinarian... your other Family Doctor Q: Our dog recently cut his paw on a piece of glass. We bandaged it and applied a tourniquet to stop the bleeding until we could get it sutured. Our vet said the tourniquet was not a good idea. Did we do it wrong? Gillian Wiley Veterinarian
A: Tourniquet
may be necessary in large artery life threatening situations but they
can cause tissue damage so usually a tight pressure bandage is best. You may need to muzzle your pet first as even the most goodnatured dog may bite if pain is involved. Try to use a sterile gauze to prevent wound contamination and once the bandage is on just leave it on until you have reached help. Do not remove or disturb it as you will disrupt the
clot that is forming. If blood soaks through do not discard the soaked bandage as it contains valuable clotting factors. Instead, keep adding more bandage material on top of the original. Even the Red Green standby of duct tape over top of a sterile pad and then up the haired part of the leg will keep the dressing on until the wound can be sutured.

WARNEKEN, Edward V.N. June 19, 1944 To October 15, 2014 Edward Vincent Neil Warneken, 70, of Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia, passed away peacefully on October 15th, 2014 surrounded by close friends and family at the Royal Jubilee Hospital. Born June 19, 1944 in Grace Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia to Hans and Phyllis Warneken, he spent all his life as proud Canadian and true BC man. He had a colourful childhood growing up in Vancouver, and ventured to Alberta for work, at young age, before returning to BC to join the Canadian Armed Forces (Navy), living abroad off and on for the next 30 years, calling Victoria, Duncan and Shawnigan Lake home. Ed lived the last 46 amazing years on beautiful Vancouver Island with his world travelling partner, best friend and loving wife, Sheila. Ed was an intelligent and passionate man who loved and enjoyed his family & friends, travelling, camping, Sudoku, playing board games, sailing, golfing, foraging on the beach, bike riding, the ocean, and watching TV (particularly golf). He especially loved cheering for his granddaughters, friends, niece and nephew in all of their various sports & accomplishments. (Thank you Pa!) He was a talented woodworker, gadget guy, and sailor and amongst so many other things, he carefully chose the best greeting cards & flowers, always. He was funny, competitive, sassy, loving and kind… he believed whole heartedly in all he did and everything and everyone he supported. Predeceased by parents Hans and Phyllis Warneken, uncle Emmett Warneken, nephew Darryl Laing, and parents-in-law Herb and Betty Chandler. Ed leaves behind; his loving wife Sheila (ne: Chandler) of 46 years, Daughter Sara (Wade) Lowe and two granddaughters Haeley and Sydnae Lowe. His Canadian Family (In laws); Diane (Bob) Caldwell, Ken (Trish) Pollard, John (Di) Pollard, Cheryl (Bill) Dickenson, Marley, Chelsey and extended families. His Australian Family (In laws); Tricia Moritz, Grace, Christian, Oliver and Billy. Ed’s sister; Mary Lou (Don) Laing, nieces Shelley and Sharla, and families in the interior of BC. As well Ed’s cousin, Hans Gerd (Juda) Warneken, and their wonderful family in Oerlinghausen, Germany. Ed also leaves behind so many close special friends, neighbours, “girlfriends”, amazing adopted families, and quite a few adopted pets, including one especially loyal buddy, Tito. Master Seaman Edward V.N. Warneken served 27 years in the C.A.F. (Navy), as a Naval Weapons technician, on Ships such as HMCS Terra Nova, HMCS Gatineau, HMCS Mackenzie, and more. As Senior Ship’s diver, and longest standing mess president of the Junior Ranks Club Esquimalt, he implemented programs that are still used today, and risked his life in the Tasmanian Sea. After the Navy Ed worked a variety of interesting positions, as a technician, fish farmer, and commissionaire and finally retired from working as Medical Security at Arbutus Ridge, which he enjoyed immensely. 4 days after officially retiring in 2011, Ed with Sheila, and their love of travel, hopped on a plane to Mexico, where they found their second home in a condo in San Jose del Cabo. Shortly after they embarked on the trip of lifetime, and travelled around the world for over a year, meeting and making, friends and family, all over the world! Heading back home in 2013 after an amazing year to remember. Ed made his mark on our world with Sheila, as we all followed the “Travels of Nan and Pa” and were inspired by their adventures, and love for each other and the people and places they graced. We would like to give special thanks, to the Nurses and Doctors at VGH and the Royal Jubilee Hospital for their passionate care for our loving husband, father, friend, uncle, great uncle, and devoted Pa, who will be greatly missed. “It was too soon, but with infinite great, hilarious, sometimes crazy, thought provoking, interesting and heartfelt, tender memories, all full of love… we will see you when we close our eyes, forever and always.”~Anon. A Celebration of Life, filled with Love, Joy and Happiness will be held on Wednesday, Nov 5th, 2014 from 3:00pm on at Cowichan Cricket Club, 1722 Elford Road, Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia. If attending, please consider wearing something bright coloured to celebrate Ed’s full and happy, colourful life. Thank you to Dave and Sands Funeral Chapel Duncan for all of the arrangements, to ALL of our many friends and family for their continuous support and help, now and in the future. Ed’s Remains will rest in the waters off of Vancouver Island, BC, Canada and San Jose Del Cabo, BCS, Mexico, so he can forever remain in peace, close to both homes, amongst the waves and his favourite creatures of the Sea. Memorial donations may be made in Ed’s name to Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) @ http://www. standup2cancer.ca/ or the BC Cancer Foundation, Vancouver Island Office 2410 Lee Avenue, Victoria, BC V8R 6V5. Online condolences may be offered at www.sandsduncan.ca

TAYLOR, Vera Lillian (nee Kaatz) August 17, 1927 – October 27, 2014 Passed away unexpectedly at home in Sahtlam on October 27, 2014, only three weeks after losing her husband of 60 years, Walter Taylor. Survived by son Daniel Taylor of Metchosin, daughter Jill Taylor of Nanaimo, brother Al (Marion) Kaatz of Revelstoke, sister-in-law Irene Cates of Duncan, and numerous nieces, nephews and friends spread throughout Canada. Vera was born in Beausejour, Manitoba, the twelfth of fifteen children born to German immigrants Gottlieb and Ottilia Kaatz (nee Hollander). Her Dad died when she was five, forcing her Mom to learn English and become a midwife first in Beausejour and then Winnipeg in order to support her family. When still a teenager, Vera attended bookkeeping school in Winnipeg and worked in Toronto and Winnipeg, where she met and married D.o.T. radio operator Walter Taylor in 1954, only three days after they met. The couple left Manitoba in 1966 with their two children and moved to Duncan, where Vera enjoyed bowling, knitting, travelling with Walter in their motorhome, meeting friends at the Bingo Hall, winning at cards and giving away her baking. She welcomed everyone into her home and made friends easily. Special thanks to friends and neighbours Al Sigurdson and Barry and Rose Lehna and other members of the Sahtlam community for helping to make it possible for Vera and Walter to remain in their home for so long, and to Veterans Affairs Canada for all their support to Walter and Vera over the years. There will be no service by request. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to do so should donate to the charity of their choice in Vera’s memory.

McIntyre receives provincial honour
Duncan Dynamics: Hard-working gymnast has done it all this year and keeps getting better with more training Don Bodger

A
n already incredible year for Duncan Dynamics Gymnastics Club member Darby McIntyre just keeps getting better. Gymnastics B.C. honoured McIntyre as its Karen Kelsall Provincial Stream Athlete of the Year during a reception at Metrotown Burnaby’s Hilton Hotel Oct. 25. McIntyre thought she was receiving some recognition for her Coaching In Training certification, but it turned out to be a whole lot bigger than that. The Kelsall award is one of the most prestigious among the many honours presented that night to athletes, coaches and volun-

teers at the Gymnastics B.C. banquet. “It’s really exciting,’’ said McIntyre, who lives on Salt Spring Island and commutes five days a week to Duncan to train. “You look at all the names on there (the plaque). There’s a lot of big names. Once, they were like me.’’ McIntyre is also the first gymnast from the Island to receive the Kelsall award. She’s been racking up the honours all year in competition, including the Western Canadian championships in Saskatoon during April when she placed first all-around in her category. During the previous B.C. Winter Games in Mission, McIntyre collected four individual medals — three gold and a silver — plus a bronze for the part she played in the team event for Zone 6.

Cowichan LMG Pringle always prefers to earn its points, but will take a Halloween gift from Bays United Liquor Plus. Cowichan received a 3-0 Island Soccer League Div. 1 default win when Bays United didn’t have enough players for a Friday night game at the Ladysmith Turf. “We would have had 17 guys coming to the game,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin. “We were committed and we were ready to play Halloween night.’’ It goes in the books as a ninth straight win for Cowichan and the team will go for its 10th in a row Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Ladysmith against Westcastle United.
The Mataganovas are in their eighth year running the Dynamics gym and McIntyre’s accomplishments are huge for the club. “For us, it’s very important,’’ said head coach Olga. “She’s a good role model for the younger kids,’’ said Anna. There’s been a switch from the Canadian provincial program to Junior Olympic and McIntyre is going stronger than ever. “She has a beautiful new floor routine,’’ said Olga. “She still trains really hard and learning a few new skills,’’ said Anna. “We’ll do the same or better this season. “She likes to perform, too. Some kids train really well and can’t perform. She wants to win. She works hard because she wants to be the best.’’
Tristan Mandur Tristan Mandur recognized his own golf ability from an early age. “I’d say around six or seven, that’s when I did my first tournament and I had a lot of fun and I really wanted to pursue it,’’ he said. Currently in Grade 10 at Shawnigan Lake School, Mandur became a household name in golf this year for those who hadn’t heard of him already. Shooting a 63 at Qualicum Beach was really the start of a banner year of achievements. “It was one of those days where everything was going in,’’ Mandur said of that remarkable score. “It was the kind of moment you really want to remember. It helps your confidence for the next events to come up. It was awesome.’’ He went on to shoot another 63 — eight under par — at Arbutus Ridge Golf and Country Club recently. In between, Mandur has been here, there and everywhere playing high level golf — from the U.S. Junior Amateur in Texas to Ontario where he came tied for 12th in the Canadian juniors and elevated to third in the Canadian juvenile event. “Most of it is experience and how I need to practice to get to that higher level,’’ Mandur said of his rise to prominence.

Caps trade leading scorer Gelsinger for two Saskatchewan products
SPORTS WATCH
Two players for the price of one obviously turned out to be an attractive proposition for the Cowichan Valley Capitals right now. The struggling B.C. Hockey League squad traded its leading scorer, Brayden Gelsinger, to the West Kelowna Warriors Monday for a pair of forwards.
Martensville, Saskatchewan product Adam Osczevski, who turns 19 on Nov. 17, had a goal and two assists with the Warriors so far this season. “Adam is a skilled player with great leadership qualities,’’ noted Caps’ coach Bob Beatty in a press release. “He’s definitely a glue-type player with
offensive upside and will fit in nicely with our forward group.’’ Kade Kehoe, 18, hails from Saskatoon and posted two goals and two assists with the Warriors. “Kade is a player we see with great potential that plays with a lot of grit and skill,’’ Beatty pointed out.
Coach Beatty growing weary of mounting defeats
Looking for answers: Changes being made as Caps look to salvage something Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
F
rustration is clearly taking a toll on Bob Beatty. The Cowichan Valley Capitals’ coach was at a loss for words Sunday after his team went down to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs for the fourth time in the last 17 days. The Bulldogs have owned the Caps in B.C. Hockey League meetings this season, beating them 7-3 Oct. 17, 8-1 Oct. 18 and 3-2 Oct. 24 before Sunday’s 6-1 result at Cowichan Arena. No one believes the Bulldogs are that much better than the Caps, least of all Beatty. The recent 3-2 game seemed to be a better indicator of the balance between the teams and Beatty expected Sunday’s home game would be a good chance for the Caps to get back on track and gain some revenge against the ‘Dogs. It didn’t happen. After a decent first period that ended 1-1, the Caps’ offense dried up and three goals surrendered in the last half of the second period decided the issue. The ‘Dogs had four power play goals overall. The second period markers all came after Rylan Bechtel took exception to a hit on Sean Harrison that went unpenalized and was assessed an instigator minor, fighting major and game misconduct.
“It’s 1-1, they get three power play goals,’’ summed up Beatty. “Who’s kidding who? It took us out of the game. It was a turning point.’’ A combination of injuries, bad luck, bad timing and poor play has put the Caps in a big hole in the Island Division with a 3-14 record. “We’ve been talking about making moves,’’ said Beatty. “We’ve tried a little bit. There will be some more action before the next game.’’ The acquisition of young Darien Craighead has been a breath of fresh air for the Caps, but they need a lot more. Ben Brar, a 16-year-old, was brought in from the Yale Academy of Abbotsford as an affiliate player for the Alberni game. “There’s an opportunity to get him in a game,’’ said Beatty. “We think he’s a good prospect.’’ The trade market is lean and other teams will only want to scalp the Caps’ best players. “You can only do so much,’’ said Beatty. “We can use affiliate players.’’ Brayden Gelsinger, the Caps’ leading scorer with 19 points, had the lone goal against Alberni but was then dealt to West Kelowna (see story above). “We’ll just have to get ready for the next game,’’ said Beatty. That will be Friday at 7 p.m. at Cowichan Arena against Powell River followed by a Sunday 2 p.m. visit from the powerful Penticton Vees, who have only one loss in 17 games.

T
hings haven’t been going the Kerry Park Islanders’ way lately. That made Sunday afternoon’s comefrom-behind 5-3 Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League win over the Comox Valley Glacier Kings all the more significant. With Cody Short, one of the team’s top forwards, sidelined for the remainder of the season, it’s put an increased onus on others to contribute. The Islanders have seen shades of brilliance but couldn’t manufacture any points in the standings during a losing streak that reached four games heading into the battle with Comox. And it didn’t look good after the first period with the Islanders trailing 2-0 and it was still 2-1 for the Glacier Kings after the second. But the Islanders got the offense going and hoped to build some momentum from it for tough games ahead with four goals in the third period. “We’re shortstaffed right now,’’ said Islanders’ owner and general manager Mark Osmond. “The boys just got it together.’’ Promising young player Patrick Poets went out of the game midway through the second period with muscle spasms that didn’t help

Pair of No. 15s wind up crossing paths, with Kerry Park Islanders’ Tyson Malloch backchecking hard on Comox Valley’s Liam Shaw in the middle of the ice during Sunday’s Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League game at Kerry Park Arena. the situation. “We’re still down a bunch of guys, kind of happy the guys are buying in,’’ said Osmond. The Glacier Kings scored two goals 57 seconds apart in the first period. Tyson Malloch got the scoring started for the Islanders midway through the second. Power play goals by David Bittner tied it in the first minute of the third and Zack Smith put the Islanders ahead. Braeden Cross struck shorthanded before Liam Shaw’s late tally for Comox made
for a frantic finish. But Bittner iced it with his second of the game into an empty net. The previous game last Wednesday at the Q Centre in Victoria also brought a strong comeback effort from the Islanders, but it fell short. Westshore Wolves built a 3-0 lead but had to hang on to beat the Islanders 4-3. Smith (2) and Malloch scored goals for the Islanders. The Islanders entertain the Saanich Braves Thursday and the Victoria Cougars Saturday at Kerry Park Arena.
