Busy weekend for ﬁre crews Peter W. Rusland

Duncan firefighters and paramedics remove an injured man from a house fire at Hykaway Road just before 9 p.m. on Saturday.

ouble fire trouble kept Duncan’s crews hopping Saturday — and left a man in hospital. Fire chief Mike McKinlay said his crews snuffed a wood-shop blaze in the morning, then extinguished a suspicious home fire that evening. About 9:26 a.m. Nov. 8 saw the DFD answer a call to a woodworking shop outbuilding at 3215 Doupe Road, where Cowichan Bay firefighters were also called for back-up. “The shop was a total loss,” the chief said. “There was also scorching to the outbuilding next to it.” The renter in a nearby cabin was uninjured while Duncan members tried in vain to save the insured shop, he noted. The fire involved some two-dozen firefighters and trucks from both halls. Saturday night at around 9 p.m. saw McKinlay’s crew of about 20 firefighters scramble to a blaze in a single-storey, vacant home on Hykaway (off Koksilah) Road. “One person was found inside. We got him out and he’s in the hospital,” he said of the insured wood structure he believed was repairable. more on page 4

Cowichan being asked if sportsplex deserves dedicated annual funding Kathy Santini

News Leader Pictorial

he Cowichan Sportsplex. Is it a community asset that needs the security of dedicated regional tax funding annually in order to thrive? Or is it a special-interest operation that should continue to justify its public funding from the Cowichan Valley Regional District on a year-to-year basis? That’s what voters throughout the CVRD’s

nine electoral areas are being asked during Saturday’s municipal election. Cobble Hill resident Bill Dumont knows which way he will vote. The tax watchdog says he has no issue with the sportsplex’s mandate of providing recreation opportunities to local residents. What he does take issue with is the Chesterfield Sports Society funding from the CVRD becoming an annual line item, instead of a grant. “Once that happens, it’s never looked at again,” Dumont said. He criticized the facility for having a top-

heavy administration and lower-than-marketrate rental fees. “Why are we giving away services for so cheap?” he questioned, adding only $70,000 or 17.5 per cent of the facility’s funding comes from rental fees. “It’s a big issue because it’s tax money.” Sportsplex society board member Barry Waters said the organization operates using a paid executive director, an administrator, three full-time and two part-time staff, as well as an army of volunteers. According to the 2013/14 budget, total

labour costs amounted to about $250,000 annually. Total budgeted administration costs for last year were $145,274, which included $110,000 for staffing, plus insurance, legal and accounting fees, among other minor items. “The fees that are charged are comparable to other facilities,” Waters said, adding some people think the fees are too high, others too low. “There’s lots of discussion all the time on user fees.....we’re priced where we should be.” more on page 7

he iconic cross on Mt. Tzouhalem was just one of many victims of the windstorm that battered the valley last

Dave Brewer clears the remains of a big pine tree that damaged the roof of 731 Coronation Ave. in Duncan after last week’s wind-and-rain storm. It cut Cowichan’s power, and left trees and debris across the valley. Bill Kohlman said winds blew a tree across Telegraph Road near Bench School at around 11 a.m. Thursday. Meanwhile, the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s Lesley Marian Neilson confirmed the NCC received reports the cross appeared to be missing and “we will look into it as soon as we can get someone on the ground to investigate.” Thursday night also saw Maple Bay in the dark, as folks visited The Lion Rampant pub and chatted by candlelight, co-owner Andrew Abernethy said. Costs to Hydro in overtime and gear were unknown at press time. Olynyk blamed uprooted trees and branches on lines as the culprits. “It was mainly trees. It’s just how (weather) funneled through the Cowichan Valley. “We’ve seen that happen in the past, and some areas of Shawnigan Lake were hit hard. This was a very strong storm.” “About 45,000 to 50,000 customers on the island were out at the peak — 30,000 of those were in the Cowichan Valley.

“The storm caught us a bit by surprise in its velocity of winds.” In fact, Hydro braced for outages last week during a storm watch but “that one didn’t create any damage compared to this one. “We had crews working a 16hour day, and they were back out first thing in the morning.” Residents spent the next few days clearing debris, branches, needles and leaves across Cowichan, and dealing with the aftermath of the vast outage that froze many businesses, including the Leader. Working under generator power Thursday afternoon, reporters finished and filed stories late to the press, but the paper hit the street basically on time, circulation manager Lara Stuart explained. Olynyk said Smart meters helped to determine outages, and where they still existed, while urging customers to call in about downed trees. “It just reminds us to always be prepared; you never know when (storms) will strike, nor how bad it will be.” Folks can call 1-888-poweron with concerns.

week. Cowichan was the island’s hardest hit region during Thursday’s wind-and-rain storm that unplugged power to swaths of the valley, a BC Hydro manager says. Early Saturday evening was the target for everyone to be back on, Ted Olynyk said in the wake of Thursday’s early-morning rain that soaked the ground before high winds toppled trees and branches onto power lines. Forty Hydro crews were working in Cowichan to restore power to the last remaining homes, he noted during a Saturday interview. “It’s nice to have clear weather to help get the work done.” That wasn’t the case Thursday as Cowichan was walloped by what was a perfect windstorm — with gusts up to 100 kilometres per hour, some media reported. “Cowichan was the hardest hit by far during this storm,” he told the News Leader Pictorial Friday as crews still scrambled to restore power to Warm-Land homes and businesses. “We have about 15 crews in the Duncan area, and brought crews in from the mainland to help out; we’re moving crews around as available from Nanaimo and Qualicum Beach.” Mike McKinlay, Duncan’s fire chief, said a traffic snarl ensued after a tree blocked the south (Boys Road) lane of the silver bridge, and its pedestrian walkway Thursday. A tree also fell on a home at 731 Coronation St., leaving no apparent injuries — one of dozens of cases of wind damage throughout the valley. Caycuse resident Bill Corbeil was using a generator at his place Friday while many residents were salvaging fallen trees for firewood. Cowichan Bay-area resident

Two car crash diverts traffic through Cowichan Bay

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

two-car crash at the Cowichan Bay Road-Cobble Hill Road intersection with the TransCanada Highway resulted in injuries to four people, none of the injuries considered serious. An older model Ford truck and a newer Mazda collided at the intersection around 11 a.m. Sunday morning. A woman was the lone occupant of the truck. She was transported to hospital. “We

just assisted with the ambulance to get her out,’’ said Cowichan Bay Fire Rescue chief Ken Bulcock, whose department responded with three trucks and 12 firefighters. A second ambulance also attended. The two adults and a young child in the Mazda were only shaken up, but went to hospital for observations. Injuries could have been a lot worse based on the impact. “From what one of the witnesses said, the pick-up truck did a complete revolution and ended up on its wheels,’’ said Bulcock. “Traffic was rerouted through Cowichan Bay

for northbound traffic,’’ he added. That lasted about 40 minutes before returning to normal. The number of bad accidents at the intersection has diminished in recent years but remains a spot where drivers need to be careful. “I think all the improvements have been done,’’ said Bulcock. “I think people are not paying attention to the intersection itself. It’s just ‘pay attention’ to the lighting system.’’ It’s been a busy few days for emergency personnel, Bulcock added. It started with Thursday’s windstorm and continued through the weekend.

RCMP, paramedics, BC Hydro and Fortis staff also responded to the Hykaway house fire too. “It’s under investigation for arson,” the chief said, declining further comment about the fire’s cause, and the victim’s injuries. Meanwhile, Cowichan Bay Fire and Rescue also attended a house fire on Cherry Point Road Friday night. The structure was a total loss, fire chief Ken Bulcock indicated, although he was not able to provide further details at press time.

Taxes take centre stage in Chemainus Forum: Packed house hears three mayoral candidates face off

Lindsay Chung

News Leader Pictorial

axes and municipal spending came up often at the North Cowichan all candidates meeting Nov. 4 in Chemainus. Hundreds of people heard the three mayoral candidates and 18 of the 20 council candidates at the meeting, hosted by the Chemainus and District Chamber of Commerce and the Chemainus Residents Association. The mayoral candidates were asked a series of questions that had been prepared by the Chemainus and District Chamber of Commerce and the Chemainus Residents Association. They then had an opportunity to debate, with two of the three candidates getting to speak about each question.

The issue of taxes came up when incumbent Jon Lefebure was asked how he would increase revenue for North Cowichan without raising taxes, with Damir Wallener getting a chance to debate. Lefebure said the municipality has to look at all forms of revenue. “We’re always talking with the federal and provincial governments about our share of gas tax and other forms of grants and so on; we have to keep working on that,” he said. “We’re asked to do more every year, and that’s why we’ve had to raise taxes as we have.” He also said the municipality’s best solution going into the future is to build a diverse economy with sports tourism, recreational tourism, arts and culture tourism and wine and culinary tourism. Wallener noted tourism often means low-paying jobs, and the community needs to focus on creating small businesses that will create new jobs. “What we really need to do is we need to start thinking about jobs for the next 20 years, and that means

high-tech and green tech, and that means improving our agriculture because farmers are the original entrepreneurs,” he said. “There’s tremendous opportunity to help smaller, forward-looking companies relocate here if we’re willing to put in the infrastructure.” John Koury said small business is the backbone of this community and of this country. He spoke about the history of the Chemainus library, and how millions of dollars of investment were ready to go in the spring of 2012 but that library has still not been built. “We can no longer be on the 10year plan that we have been on to get a skatepark, to get Echo Heights dealt with, to get our library dealt with here in Chemainus … it doesn’t need to take 10 years,” he said. “It needs to take a gathering of evidence, the right amount of input from the public, and the courage to move forward on defendable positions.” To read what council candidates had to say, read the full version of this story at cowichannewsleader.com

CVRD will decide how to proceed after vote results counted

from page 1

Sportsplex executive director Catherine Brandon said it is important that voters realize the sportsplex is not asking for new money, just an assurance the money it now receives in grants will continue. “I think (Dumont’s)’ questions demonstrate a concern out there about how taxes keep increasing. There’s a ‘no more taxes movement’ out there. People are saying that’s enough,” Brandon said. “This is not a tax increase, it’s shifting things from a grant to a line item.” The CSS’s 2014/2015 operating budget is available online at www.cowichansportsplex.com The society, which was established in 1996, is funded just shy of $400,000 in thirds from three primary sources: municipal government funding (City of Duncan, School District 79 and the Municipality of North Cowichan); another third from fundraising and user fees; with the remainder coming from the CVRD. This year, the CVRD’s contribution was $145,111, down from last year’s $146,500. Jacob Ellis, the CVRD’s deputy chief administrative officer, said the maximum amount taxpayers would pay if they had a house assessed at $328,210 (the average cost for a house in the CVRD in 2013) would be $4.33. That is slightly higher than the $3.08 they paid in 2013. The increase is due in part to the cost of holding referendums in nine areas, at an expected cost of $8,000 to $10,000 each. Each electoral area will vote on a slightly different question. After the Nov. 15 vote, results will go to the CVRD board, which will then vote to accept each referendum separately. Dumont also complained funding for a pre-vote PR campaign wasn’t outlined in the society’s annual budget and is being used for roadside campaign signs and wraps around local newspapers. Waters said $10,000 was budgeted for the PR campaign. He’s unsure whether all the money has been spent. “This is a tremendous facility being provided to the region at a cost-effective price,” Waters said. “If it doesn’t pass, the future of the society is uncertain.” “We think people need to understand the issues, everything is riding on getting the funding,” Waters said. “We have no desire to be political. We’re fighting an uphill battle. We don’t want to go through a referendum, but if we have to we want the results to be positive.”

The sportsplex worthy of your tax support

Referendum: think of what just a few of your dollars will bring to the community

e get that taxation is the most prominent issue in this weekend’s civic election. Given the ballooning costs of local government in recent years, we understand why. We just hope it isn’t going bury the Cowichan Sportsplex. Because this is a facility worthy of your support. Every community has — every community needs — a few jewels, items that it can point to with pride. The Cowichan Sportsplex is one of those jewels. Vote yes for Look at the sad state of our local a worthwhile school facilities, abandoned through years of provincial education cutproject backs. The sportsplex is filling the gap. The track and the fields are giving kids and adults alike opportunities to get fit and have fun. The track gets regular use by walkers, joggers, athletes and regular folks trying to up their fitness levels. The fields are giving people of all ages opportunities to play field hockey and baseball and other games. Beyond that, the facility is a regular base for charity groups launching a variety of fundraising campaigns. Yes, the CVRD has made some questionable decisions with your tax dollar. But supporting the Cowichan Sportsplex isn’t one of them. Right now you are paying three or four dollars a year to support this facility through CVRD grants. At the most, a yes vote is going to add an extra dollar. It’s worth it. On Saturday, vote yes to dedicated funding for the Cowichan Sportsplex.

Observations from a prisoner of war Denise Brownlee

Special to the News Leader Pictorial

y brother-in-law was a POW, captured in Dieppe during the Second World War. He wrote numerous notes we call his diary and some poems. Don Brownlee volunteered his services in November of 1940. He was 21 and a young farmer from Alberta. He had no previous experience in the military. In February of 1941, only three months after joining, he volunteered for overseas service and sailed with the 14th Army Tank Battalion, Calgary Regiment in June 1941 on a French troop ship. He was among the ill-fated group of Canadians who landed in Dieppe on Aug.14, 1942, only to be slaughtered or captured. He wrote a poem describing this landing.

No battle speech at the lift of dawn to get our men to cheering but the muffled note of the engines drawn to the coast that we were nearing. No drums to roll, no bugle’s note The enemies strength to shatter But the silenced beat of the landing boat And the mad machine guns chatter. And it’s swim and duck and swim again But keep your rifle dry And it’s fire and duck and fire again As the lead comes screaming by. The hun was snugly at his post Waiting with never a falter As the landing boats came in like ghosts Sailing on crimson water. And it’s fire and fire and fire again At the smallest patch of green And it’s groan and grit your teeth again And forget the dead you’ve seen. There’s men you’ve lived with, loved and fought

It is unfortunate holiday deadlines at our press means we are not able to bring you coverage of Remembrance Day ceremonies in this morning’s paper. Instead, look for our coverage of what happened at local cenotaphs in Friday’s edition. We hope you took time out from your schedule to pay your respects to the those who gave so much

That are dead on a foreign land Their good red blood was flowing, caught In hollows in the sand. And the roaring skies were clouded with the Stuka’s deadly shade ‘Til the boys again were heartened By the hills our fighters made.

COWICHAN LEADERS

So now the story’s nearly done Of how Dieppe was fought I’ve told of how we landed there In a hail of lead from land and air; Of how we fought the livelong day Of how our soldiers fought and died And kept once more, Canadian pride. But though the horror of the day Is passing, fading quite away We shall remember, as the years will tell, To give honour and pride to the men who fell, In the battle of Dieppe. Canadians paid the highest price: 3,367 casualties — 907 dead and 1,945 spent three years

in a prisoner-of-war camp. He recorded his life as a prisoner secretly, writing on paper and with a pencil received in the Red Cross packages. He hid it from the Germans. The films made today follow very accurately, his description. The prisoners had many challenges to overcome. He writes of problems in the camp with rats and fleas. Red Cross parcels were looked forward to with great anticipation. Sometimes there was food, which was highly coveted. The men arranged a system of barter. Don wryly observed, “It seems likely that those who got cigarette rations and didn’t smoke were better off than those who smoked!” Excerpts taken from the Diary of Don Brownlee

out and further disruption? I urge the public to attend trustee candidate forums in your area. Demand of the candidates what change initiatives they will propose and support. Topics and responses should reference: special needs strategies, appropriate funding and use of allotted funds, relationship building, curriculum modernization to meet 21st century opportunities, trades training, school year alternatives and accountability by all in the system. It is your responsibility to choose those who want to advance public education and to reject the status quo. If we do things the way we have always done them, public education will continue to be dysfunctional and bleed more students to private and independent schools. Ron Dale

Dear editor Simply put, this election is all about uncontrolled municipal taxes in North Cowichan. All the rest is window dressing. The only thing the mayor and council control in your taxes is the general municipal tax rate. They don’t control assessment. They don’t control government grants. They only control the GMTR and they have failed you miserably during the past decade and in particular the past six years. We cannot afford another four years of this tax-and-spend mentality at muni hall. Alex Currie Chemainus

Community and compassion trump cost

Dear editor I received an email from North Cowichan council candidates Laurie Thomson, Joyce Behnsen, Nick Caumanns, Jagtar Mann, and Jim Fane. In the covering letter Caumanns tells us that “The TEAM is a non-political affiliation of candidates running for North Cowichan council.” Non-political? They are introducing, for the first time, Vancouver-style party politics in our local elections. That seems very political to me. For these candidates, taxes and tax increases are the important issue in the coming election. Wealthier landowners sometimes forget property taxes support municipal services that mean a great deal to individuals and families

We asked you: “Is enough information available to help you decide who to vote for?” You answered:

55 per cent YES

We can’t afford this

Dear editor In the five-year period from 2008 to 2013, CVRD remuneration has increased at a much higher rate (2.5 to four times or more) than Old Age Security and the B.C. Consumer Price Index. How is this financially sustainable? Recently, on top of this, area director remuneration was increased approximately 16% starting on Jan.1, 2015. The directors who voted for the latest remuneration increase were Duck Paterson, Gerry Giles, Lori Iannidinardo, Loren Duncan, Ian Morrison, Mel Dorey, Jon Lefebure, Barb Lines and Pat Weaver. Those directors who voted against were Mike Walker, Bruce Fraser, Mary Marcotte, Phil Kent, Ruth Hartmann and Tim McGonigle. Paul Williams

Fortunately, we don’t need to support this new party. We have many community-minded candidates who value people and nature more than their private wealth and who look ahead to a future built on compassion rather back to Ronald Reagan’s and Margaret Thatcher’s agenda from the 1980s. John Scull North Cowichan

Elect a council for Duncan, not special interests Dear editor Excellent column by Tom Fletcher in the Nov. 5 edition entitled “ Municipal politicians should stick to municipal politics” and very appropriate considering the upcoming election. During the past three years Duncan’s mayor and city council has shown repeatedly it has no interest in running city affairs with the best interests of Duncan taxpayers in mind. Rather, they have used their time in office to pander to special interest groups

and friends, pass nonsense bylaws, and to promote their personal ideologies. Mark Williams Duncan

Don’t mistake adjustment for amalgamation

Dear editor There’s a huge difference between adjusting boundaries and amalgamation. Cowichan is a community of communities. Having Ladysmith and area belong to the Nanaimo School District alienates them from their regional government neighbours. This is about having a community discussion to determine if aligning School District and CVRD boundaries makes sense. This is not, as some have suggested, about joining two entire school districts into one omnipotent entity. Put simply, if the idea has value, Ladysmith would become part of the Cowichan School District and no longer be part of the Nanaimo School District. This could enable us to make greater use of our

public facilities, plan for our entire area, save money and tax dollars and ultimately benefit all children in Cowichan. Gerry Giles Cobble Hill regional director

Challenge your trustees for something new

Dear editor I challenge governance, parents, and educators to make major changes. For without change we will be heading to the next contract, five years away, fighting the same battles, using the same strategies, resulting in a dissatisfied clientele, our students. Does the public served by public education need or want another strike/lock-

Black, white and 500 shades in between

Not in living colour: most basic shades hot for the winter season Caroline Storie

News Leader Pictorial

s the clouds move in and the days get shorter, the last thing I thought I needed to hear was that the hot shades for fall and winter are devoid of colour. But that is indeed the case. The black and white combinations so popular in the summer are carrying over into this season. Any despair was quickly blotted from my mind, however, by a walk through the streets of Duncan. I was delighted by the reaction of the valley to the news. It seems if Giorgio Armani can do it in Milan with his Fade to Grey collection, then we can have some fun with this too. After chatting with Janine Wall from Wall Street Clothing, I found it easy to get excited about this darker palette. “I love grey and black combinations” Wall enthuses. “There are simply so many different ways to mix and match these shades.”

Those worried about a lack of variety need not. There are more shades of grey than the eye can see. (And since the eye can actually distinguish 500 shades of grey, that is a lot of shades!) “ If you are looking for a dash of colour simply perk it up with a beautiful raspberry scarf,” Wall said. I have to admit the contrast is quite striking. Looking around the stores there are so many options available that it feels liberating, not restrictive. Sweaters are in abundance, all mixed with wide, open knits and long, draping shapes. Take your pick for trims with fringes in leather, lace and fur. The focus for fashion this season is texture not colour. Wall sees that far from lamenting the loss of summer, customers are thrilled to wrap themselves in the coziness of fall and winter. “People are getting excited about layering their looks and embracing all the warm accessories that come with the cold,” she said. With black and grey being so readily available, this is a great time to make those investments in your fall and winter wardrobe. Treat yourself with that tailored jacket you love, a long winter coat, or that luxury hat because you know these shades are classic, timeless and will tie in with your wardrobe now and years into the future.

Think black-and-white is boring? That’s not the case this season as designers focus on those classic colours and the 500 shades of grey in between. Now is also a great time to look at quality fabrics and workmanship that will stand the test of time. This colour is always going to look good. Catherine Martin of Wedderspoon Organic sums up why I think we all might like a touch of non-colour in our wardrobes this season. “I like grey because it means I can

buy something completely outlandish and off the wall, but still wear it,” she said. “I recently bought this rather wild hat when I was on holiday, but because it is in a lovely, light, soft grey tone I can wear it anywhere without feeling ridiculous. “At least I think I can,” she finishes

with a smile. It seems we are all set to embrace this season’s palette here in Cowichan. Black, white and grey are not the choice of blah and indecision. Instead, consider Vogue’s take: “(they are) the non-colour of elegance: never excessive and always flawless.”

alking to the entrance of Providence House I see a beautiful, brightly painted sign. It reads Farm Fashions. Providence Farm is celebrating 35 years as a therapeutic community this year. I know it offers wonderful programs and have enjoyed its produce at the local market, but fashion? Could this be a place for my own fashion therapy? I am intrigued. Karen Bittner, the farm’s executive director, tells me more about the fashion store’s history. Seven years ago Zabrina Nelson recognized a need on the farm for clothing that protected against both the warm and the cold. “Her humble beginnings were a round clothing rack on the ground floor of Providence House where she would collect and hang donations for farm participants to access.” Bittner says. “Zabrina worked with community (e.g. consignment stores, thrift stores etc.) and, as word spread and more

This summer the operation moved to a newly renovated, 800-square-foot, heated space in the basement of the main house. Items are free or by donation. “Whatever you can afford,” the volunteers tell me as I pick up some lovely, flowy pants and enquire after the price. “All funds go directly back to the Farm.” Barb West, one of the original volunteers, tells me how surprised they have been not only by the quantity of clothing donated, but also the quality.

The top 10% of the clothing is separated and hung onto a boutique rail for sale at the farm’s general store, just a short walk away. Two years ago the General Store was revamped to include the adage of this boutique rail, larger displays for handmade items and a new line of cool, farm verseinspired T-shirts. When I ask what the response has been since the changes were made, Bittner simply beams. more on page 14

“It has been phenomenal”, she cheers. “The clothes move so fast off the rail. (It has) created more awareness — more awareness for the store which leads to more awareness for the work we do at the farm and so on. ” Participants of the farm contribute products too by making bags, accessorizing hats and (my favourite), making big, colourful brooches from up-cycled sweaters and buttons. These would breathe new life into any dowdy jacket. Bittner believes it means a lot for the participants to have their work enjoyed and for the visitors to feel good about where they are spending their money. “And you?” I ask. “Do you pop to the store to see what latest finds are on offer?” “I have found wonderful clothing there.,” she replied. Bittner points to a fringed, black poncho I have had my eye on since we met. “Yes, this was from the store,” she laughs. “And when I am finished it will go back to the store for someone else to enjoy. It fits with my philosophy of having a minimal impact on the Earth.” “While still looking good,” I interject. Then it dawns on me, Providence Farm really is the place for look-good, do-good fashion.

Meet: Justine Bown Age: 21 What is your occupation? Bread Consultant at True Grain Bread, Cowichan Bay What is your passion? Art. I have always loved any kind of art. I love painting, drawing, sketching, photography... What inspires you most? What inspires me most is the little things. I love to go out into nature, especially in the autumn and hear the crunch of the leaves under my feet, and see the gorgeous colours up in the trees. My style icon is: I don’t really have a specific style icon. I just follow my own unique style, and wear what I am always most comfortable in. My style is best described as: “alternative” or “unique” definitely. I don’t like to conform to society’s idea of what is “in fashion this season.” Today I am wearing: a black and white patterned T-shirt with lace at the back, black pants and converse-style shoes with the red laces. The hair is coloured by my sister, styled by moi. My favourite piece of clothing is: a T-shirt of my favourite band that I’ve had for a long time. This might seem weird, but it holds some of my favourite memories and it’s just got that old, familiar comfort. To be stylish one must always: be comfortable for sure. Wear what makes you happy and what you’re comfortable in. And when I say comfortable, I don’t mean old ratty sweatpants and a torn-up tee. I mean clothing like a warm, comfy sweater, or that special pair of jeans that fit like a dream.

Author, photographer and conservationist Ian McAllister is here tomorrow as part of a provincial tour promoting his new book Great Bear Wild.

McAllister will be hosting a multi-media presentation Thursday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Quw’utsun’ Cultural Centre in Duncan. “During this event — and in the book — we are taken on a deeply personal journey from the headwaters of the region’s unexplored river valleys down to the hidden depths of the offshore

Tony Award-winning: puppet musical portrays life as far across the tracks from Sesame Street as you can imagine Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

venue Q sits across the tracks from Sesame Street in Arts Club Theatre Company’s city of puppet reality visiting the Cowichan Theatre Wednesday. Subtitled The Broadway Musical For Adults, its seven-member cast uses puppet characters to probe the purpose of life. “We see that not everyone’s dreams come true, how life is tough, and how no one has all the answers,” said actor-puppeteer Nick Fontaine. Grit from the daily grind is hinted at in Q’s warning about ‘Full puppet nudity and other vulgarities.’ That note is tempered by the promise Q ‘will induce laughter.’ “But this ain’t a kids’ show,” Fontaine bluntly explained. “It’s about real people and issues real people face. It’s totally off the wall — you’ll laugh until you cry, but it has some beautiful moments too. It’s about what it is to be human, and finding yourself in a big, ugly, scary world that doesn’t always tell you the answers.” Still, use of seemingly comical puppets softens reality’s glare. “Puppets are a kind of proxy allowing us to go

places we couldn’t usually go: talking about sex, racism, the class divide, gender equality — these puppets lend a magic to tackle these issues in a way that’s more palatable.” Q’s dozen characters are “essentially muppets, but aren’t called that because our show’s not authorized in any way by the Jim Henson company,” stressed Fontaine.” The plot pivots on folks living on Avenue Q “a play on New York City’s Alphabet City.” “Avenue Q would be a funky ghetto where people are trying to find their purpose in life.” Residents include college-grad Priceton (Jeremy Crittenden); his love interest, Kate Monster (Kyla Dunbar) “who wants to open a school for monsters”; wannabe-comic Brian (Andy Toth); his highly educated wife, Christmas Eve (Selina WongParrotta); investment banker Rod (Crittenden); and Nicki (Fontaine). Fontaine also portrays Trekkie Monster, “a shutin who stays on the net all day looking at porn.” The trick for Q’s actors is juggling near-life size puppet characters. “Instead of changing costumes we change puppets; you change your whole body, voice and character,” he said. “It’s amazing and really cool.” Tony Award judges agreed, giving the Broadway

He studied portions of the dramaticcomedy in college before working with the Arts Club troupe. “Some actors have done it many times before. I jumped in and learned the show brand new. Together, we’ll do about 80 performances,” he said of Q’s Cowichan debut. “There’s just not a lot of musicals like it. The lyrics and book make it one of the stronger pieces of musical theatre you’ll find, period,” he stated of the moral-laced plot. “At the end of the day, the most important thing is you have your friends and loved ones — and nothing that’s going bad is permanent. “Avenue Q’s a statement on modern life; maybe you make it, maybe you don’t.” Your ticket What: Avenue Q: A Broadway Musical For Adults When: Nov. 12, 7:30 p.m. Where: Cowichan Theatre Tickets: $38.

recording. The self-described vocal powerhouse, and her quintet of accomplished players, explains in a release how she’s “revealing her passion and vision with her debut album, Magnolia. “Cari Burdett brings huge energy to the stage with drama, movement, and a boundless well of creativity,” it notes. Magnolia is Burdett’s heart and soul, it adds. “Brewing for the past 20 years, it is inspired by the love she carries for life, her passion for travel and the global community, the many languages Cari Burdett: she has embraced, in MIll Bay her classical operatic training, her family, home, and Gypsy roots ... they are all bound together by this dramatic music.” Burdett has lived in Sweden, Italy, England, and Canada while “opening her heart to many experiences along the way.” Expanding her resume, too. “Burdett is steeped in opera, improvisation, jazz, theatre and dance — all of which illuminate an array of wells that have brought her to the creation of the Dramatic Gypsy Cabaret style, pulling the old tradition of cabaret forward to current times and delivering its true essence with emotion and significance.” Magnolia’s cultural mosaic of French, Italian, Swedish, Spanish and English complements Canadian content by composers Anna Höstman, Christopher Butterfield, Anne Schaefer, Joni Mitchell and Timothy Francis. Burdett’s current tour boasts guitarist Marc Atkinson, pianist Miles Black, violinist Richard Moody, bassist Sean Drabitt, and percussionist Kelby MacNayr. Tickets to her 1:30 p.m. concert Nov. 15 at Sylvan United Church are $20 advance, $10 child (advance), and $25 door. Visit Eventbrite, or Ten Old Books.

PRIHAR, Amrik Amrik Prihar passed away suddenly on Thursday, November 6th, 2014 at his home in Duncan, BC, where he had lived for 42 years. Amrik was born in Bahadurgarh, Punjab, India on November 15, 1946. He was the son of a school Headmaster. Amrik excelled academically, and completed his Master`s degree at the age of 21. He became a professor of English, and taught at Banga College. Amrik immigrated to Vancouver, Canada in 1970 to marry his loving wife of 45 years, Harjeet. After their wedding, they moved to Vancouver Island to commence their new life. Amrik began working long day and night shifts in a lumberyard in Chemainus, while at the same time travelling regularly to the University of Victoria to earn his teaching degree in English Literature, during a period where racial discrimination in this field of study was exceedingly prevalent. Amrik was perpetually inspired to further his education, and he later obtained additional degrees from the University of British Columbia, University of Western Washington, and San Diego State University. Amrik taught in several schools in Victoria and the Cowichan Valley. He retired after teaching at Captain Meares School in Tahsis, BC, where he had worked for 36 years. During this time, his career flourished, and he was not only the head the English Department, but he also achieved A+ results in Provincial exams for his students, year after year. In addition to this, Amrik was heavily involved with the Tahsis Lions Club, and acted as President for a term where he helped to raise thousands of dollars to aid families and children in isolated communities. In 2005, he was awarded the prestigious Excellence in Teaching award on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa, Canada. Amrik retired from teaching in 2006, and quickly became involved in Cowichan Valley educational projects. In particular, Amrik served on the Board of Directors for the Literacy Now Cowichan Society. Amrik was appointed by the Ministry of Health as a Health Regulator for the College of Opticians of BC, and worked with University of Victoriaâ€™s Faculty of Education in the teachertraining program. In retirement, Amrik remained dedicated to his life-long mission of improving the quality of childrenâ€™s education, and preparing young adults to become passionate, caring, contributing citizens. Amrik was hired by the BC Ministry of Education to create, and later grade BC Provincial English exams. He also helped to create the Punjabi curriculum for the Ministry, and implemented it into schools across B.C. Amrik has served on countless panels and boards, to enhance the quality of education. From addressing bullying in schools, race relations, curriculum development, to administration, Amrik was relentless in his efforts to make a difference. Many of you recognize Amrik`s face from the news as an elected school trustee for the Cowichan School District. He will be missed so much, because he cared so much, with an honest and pure heart. Amrik is survived by his loving wife, Harjeet Prihar, beloved brother, Surjeet Prihar, his precious son and daughter, Malik Prihar and Monica Parmar, and beautiful grandchildren, Neyha and Navin Parmar, his brother, sisters, and son-in-law, Sunny Parmar. Amrik`s service is on his birthday this Saturday, November 15th at New Life Baptist Church in Duncan, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations to Literacy Now will be greatly appreciated: Literacy Now, Cowichan 213B-80 Station Street,Â Duncan BC V9L 1M4

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 21

Cougars on the prowl again

Big shots: Islanders don’t roll over despite being under the gun in their own zone Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

Don Bodger

Penticton pressure from Mitch Newsome and Lewis Zerter-Gossage forces the Caps’ Mitchell Stapley to react quickly and flip the puck out of harm’s way. Sunday’s BCHL game at Cowichan Arena was a homecoming for Duncan’s Steen Cooper, below, but probably not the result he was looking for. Cooper was traded to the Vees midway through last season.

Caps surprise No. 1 Vees Nothings’ certain: On paper, it looked like a mismatch, but not on the ice where the BCHL’s best couldn’t handle the team at the bottom of the pack Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

hen the No. 1 team in the B.C. Hockey League squares off against No. 16, you’d might as well write off the result as a foregone conclusion, right? Wrong. The Penticton Vees, top-ranked in all of Canada, in fact, based on winning percentage, came into Cowichan Arena Sunday and were upended 4-2 by the Caps — still sporting the BCHL’s worst record. Goes to show that’s why they play all the games because nothing can be taken for granted. The Vees lost for just the third time in regulation time in 21 games while the new-look Caps improved to 4-14-1. The Caps set the tone early, showing plenty of jump and an unwillingness to back down or be intimidated by the Vees’ record. Even though the first period ended scoreless, it brought confidence for the fragile team moving forward. The Vees scored first 1:12 into the second period on a power play, but the Caps came back with goals from Sean Harrison and Kyle Horsman before Penticton’s Mitch Newsome tied it again. The first 10 minutes of the third period decided the issue, as Horsman, who’s been terrific during a difficult period for the Caps, and Skylar Pacheco scored five minutes apart. Caps’ coach Bob Beatty was obviously all smiles after the game over the implications of the victory. “It’s huge,’’ he said. Beatty felt the Caps also deserved better based on a tough 2-1 overtime loss to the Powell River Kings Friday night at home, but the players shook off the effects of that result and were finally rewarded.

“On Friday night, we had a great effort,’’ he said. “It was disappointing to lose in overtime. The effort was there.’’ The effort certainly needed to be there above and beyond the call of duty against the Vees and that’s precisely what happened to provide the league’s most pampered players with a wake-up call. “A lot of heart and enthusiasm,’’ Beatty said, clearly made the difference. “We’ve got to be efficient and selfless, to be quite frank. I think we have the chemistry that they have to learn and be good teammates and score by committee.’’ Newcomers Kade Kehoe and Adam Osczevski provided an infusion of energy the Caps have been seeking. “They play the right way,’’ said Beatty. “I knew what I was getting in both of them. They work hard and they compete every shift. “There’s no magic wand. I think some of the changes have certainly influenced the attitude in the dressing room.’’ The Caps’ defence also turned in a stellar performance with a huge improvement. The defensive zone coverage overall was far better than past games. It’s all about playing within your element, Beatty acknowledged, and the Caps did that with defenceman Rylan Bechtel setting a prominent example. “Becs has been a workhorse and Pacheco as well,’’ said Beatty. “Now we’re banking on the other guys to keep it simple and play safe.’’ Bechtel scored the Caps’ lone goal in the Powell River loss on a power play. Jacob Pritchard tallied the winner for the Kings, also on a power play, after a penalty carried over into overtime. The Caps head out on an Interior road trip this weekend, with games in Salmon Arm Friday, Penticton Saturday and Merritt Sunday. “They’re all really strong hockey teams,’’ said Beatty. “It’ll be a good test for us.’’

aturday’s 6-0 Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League loss by the Kerry Park Islanders to the Victoria Cougars wasn’t from a lack of trying. “We didn’t play bad,’’ said Islanders’ owner and general manager Mark Osmond. “The effort was there, especially in the third period.’’ The Islanders didn’t allow a goal in the third so the score didn’t get a lot worse and held the Cougars to one power play marker in seven opportunities. “Our penalty kill is really good right now,’’ said Osmond. “We battled, we had some calls go against us.’’ Leighton Williams was a busy man in net, as the Islanders were outshot 40-15. “The taxpayers of VictoriaEsquimalt have a very nice hockey team,’’ quipped Osmond. “It’s not a complete level playing field. They’re still bringing in guys from the KI (Kootenay International) and the PI (Pacific Coast International).’’ The Islanders are also in the market to beef up their lineup as much as possible. “We’d like to bring in a couple of more guys ourselves,’’ confirmed Osmond. Three of the Cougars’ goals came on beautiful plays that no team could have prevented. “They’re a good team and they’re hard to play against,’’ said Osmond. “They play a full 60 (minutes) and they’re relentless.’’ The Islanders have a busy week.

Big hit is delivered on the Islanders’ Braeden Cross by Victoria Cougars’ captain Jake Stolz during Saturday night’s 6-0 Victoria victory at Kerry Park Arena. After playing on the road against Westshore Tuesday, they’re at Peninsula Friday, host Campbell River Saturday and travel to Parksville to face Oceanside Sunday.

The Islanders were also scheduled to play at home against the Saanich Braves Thursday. But that game was postponed due to a power failure and will be replayed at a later date.

Baylee Hopwo Baylee Hopwo’s constant smile says it all about her skating. She loves being on the ice and was born to perform based on some memorable roles in Duncan Skating Club ice shows. “She works hard all the time and there’s always a smile on her face and excited about doing new performances and new solos,’’ said longtime coach Marcie Walker. “She is just starting to recover from an injury that she had last year so we had almost a year of no jumps really. So we’re working on that, getting the jumps happening again.’’ One of the most striking things about Hopwo, 16, a Grade 11 Cowichan Secondary student, is “her artistic ability is unbelievable,’’ said Walker. People who’ve been to DSC ice shows have seen that. “I love the presentation,’’ said Hopwo. “If I can be a character, I will to the full potential. Snow White was probably one of my favourites.’’ She’s also portrayed the Queen of Hearts and Mrs. Mayor of Whoville recently and likes to assist the young kids whenever possible, remembering what it was like when she was young. “It’s kind of cool to picture how I’ve gotten from two to where I am now,’’ she said.

Bulldogs beat Bengals, face Falcons in playoff

Do-or-die game: Cowichan players primed for Coquitlam test Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

othing like a big victory to heal the wounds from a previously large loss. After going down to a 41-0 defeat against the North Surrey Bears, the Cowichan Bulldogs closed out the Vancouver Mainland Football League Midget division regular season schedule with a 5-5 record after a convincing 41-8 win over the Cloverdale Bengals Sunday at McAdam Park. “The biggest thing for us was to keep our focus,’’ said Bulldogs’ coach Doug (Opie) Williams. “I think some of the boys started to let up a little bit. “Overall, we played good, but made some mistakes.’’ It all sets the stage for a playoff game at Coquitlam this weekend. The Bulldogs beat the Falcons 14-7 earlier in the season at home, but don’t want to take anything for granted in the rematch — especially on the road. “They were short against us,’’ said Williams of the previous game. “I’m expecting them to have a full roster back. “Just because we beat them once doesn’t mean we’re going to beat them again.’’ The Bulldogs were firing on all cylinders in their game against the Bengals.

They scored on the first three offensive possessions, with Eric (Wheels) Williams going in twice and Mitch Hinton once. Just for good measure, Garion Ferguson made a touchdown catch before the half for a 28-0 Cowichan lead. Ferguson was all over the field and also prominent in a defensive role with two interceptions and several knocked-down passes. The Bengals played much better in the second half and limited Cowichan’s chances to pad the lead. “They’re a first-year team so good on them,’’ said Doug Williams. The Bulldogs still got additional TDs in the second half on a short run from quarterback Kain Melchior and a long dash down the sidelines on a kick return by Wheels Williams. There were heroes all around in the game for Cowichan, including German exchange student Keith (a.k.a. Kite) Schmidt. He was five-for-six on converts while adding an interception and a fumble recovery. “Everybody’s really nice. It makes it a lot of fun,’’ said Schmidt. He played soccer in Germany for seven years, but never any football before coming here. “Just watched the Super Bowl three times,’’ Schmidt said. “Everybody was nice and explained everything. The team made it easy for me to understand.’’

Sure-handed receivers pace the Cowichan Bulldogs to their convincing 41-8 victory over the visiting Cloverdale Bengals Sunday in Vancouver Mainland Football League Midget division action at McAdam Park. Above, Braemon Conville gets behind the defence and is off to the races after hauling in a long pass from quarterback Kain Melchior. Right, Eddy Walt tiptoes along the sidelines with plenty of room to spare in front of the Bengals’ defence to make the catch. The Bulldogs hit the road for playoff action Sunday at Coquitlam.

owichan LMG Pringle is now on a record 10-game Div. 1 Island Soccer League winning streak, surpassing the previous best of nine set twice. Cowichan recorded a clinical 2-0 win over Westcastle United, a team promoted from Div. 2 this season, Friday night at the Ladysmith Turf. Cowichan beat Westcastle 7-1 earlier in the season and the score could have easily been about the same. “The first game, we had 10 chances and scored

seven. Ten chances this time, we scored two,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin. “We probably outplayed them more.’’ In either case, it was a dominant performance and Cowichan posted its fourth straight shutout, including a recent default win over Bays United Liquor Plus, with Div. 2 call-up Darian Achurch in goal this time. Achurch was named the Vancouver Island Soccer League’s Footballer of the Week for his recent two shutouts in Div. 1 and three in Div. 2. Cowichan is now way in front of the pack in Div. 1 with a perfect 30 points from 10 games. Saanich Fusion has 10 less at 6-2-2 and Martin would love nothing more than to clinch top spot sooner rather than later. “Vic West and Nanaimo are really pouring it on right now,’’ he said. “We don’t want to give them any hope. I want to get this over with early.’’ Kevan Brown scored at the 20-minute mark and Patrick Nelson converted from the penalty spot for his league-leading 11th goal 10 minutes later to account for the offense. “(Westcastle) came to the game almost sitting back, ‘we’re going to lose, let’s just keep it down,’’’ Martin noted. “They hardly ever had the ball in our end with any kind of possession.’’
