What you need to know for Saturday Election 2014: Plenty of civic voting information at your fingertips John McKinley

News Leader Pictorial

I

n 2011, just 33 % of eligible voters cast a ballot in the Duncan election.

In North Cowichan, the percentage was 32.

It remains to be seen if that level of apathy will be repeated in Saturday’s civic election.

Between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., voters will be deciding who will be leading the City of Duncan, the Municipality of North Cowichan, the Cowichan Valley School District and the Cowichan Valley Regional District for the next four years.

Capsule looks at the candidates are inside.

For further details on who is running and their platforms, go to cowichannewsleader.com by clicking the red and blue Election 2014 button in the upper right-hand corner. There you will find links to candidate profiles submitted in their own words, as well as all the election news coverage leading to the vote.

Voters are also being asked their opinions on whether to study a boundary adjustment for Duncan and North Cowichan, and whether to fund the Cowichan Sportsplex.

North Cowichan residents can vote at the Chemainus Seniors Drop-In Centre; Crofton Elementary School; North Cowichan Municipal Hall; Cowichan Secondary School’s Quamichan campus; École Mt. Prevost Elementary; and Maple Bay Elementary School.

Duncan voters go to the Duncan Fire Hall at 468 Duncan St. Rural voters go to the following locations: Area A: George Bonner Elementary School, 3060 Cobble Hill Rd., Mill Bay Area B: Shawnigan Lake Community Centre, 2804 Shawnigan Lake Rd. Area C: Cobble Hill Hall, 3550 Watson Rd. Area D: Bench Elementary School, 1501 Cowichan Bay Rd. Area E: Eagles Hall, 2965 Jacob Rd.

truck driver wanted by police after Monday’s Malahat injury collision has been identified.

“The 26-year-old man from Crofton is alleged to have left the scene of a crash in which the occupant of a second involved vehicle — a 64-year-old woman from Mill Bay — was injured,” Shawnigan Lake RCMP’s release says.

“The man is now under investigation for failing to remain at the scene of this collision. This investigation is ongoing.”

The driver of this SUV suffered injuries after Monday’s Malahat roll-over collision with a small truck whose driver allegedly fled the scene.

As charges have yet to be laid, Investigators thanked the public the suspect’s identity was not and media for assistance in the released. investigation.

The Malahat Drive wreck happened at about 10:25 a.m.

Shawnigan Lake RCMP were called to the single-vehicle rollover where a small truck entered the highway and allegedly collided with a southbound SUV. That hit caused the SUV to veer across two northbound lanes of traffic, and roll down an embankment, police say in an earlier release.

Paramedics and Malahat volunteer firefighters attended the scene to help rescue the SUV’s lone occupant. The female driver was taken to Victoria General Hospital with undetermined injuries, RCMP said.

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 3

To study or not to study is the amalgamation question facing voters Kathy Santini

News Leader Pictorial

D

uncan and North Cowichan residents will be asked their opinion about amalgamation and boundary restructuring Saturday, in their municipal elections.

They aren’t being asked if they are in favour of either, only whether they would like to see a study where the pros and cons of the idea thoroughly investigated.

“A study doesn’t mean it will happen, it just means we’re studying,” Peter de Verteuil, Duncan’s chief administrative officer said. “It really is just to inform council, which will then make it’s decision.

“If the voters in one municipality vote yes, but in the other jurisdiction vote no, then the municipality whose voters said yes would have to decide whether to proceed with some form of study.”

If voters in both municipalities vote yes, and their respective councils vote to move forward, he said both councils will get together to discuss the parameters of the study and how it will progress.

And if both municipalities’ voters vote no, de Verteuil said there would probably be no study and the City and North Cowichan would continue to partner on the many projects and initiatives they do now, like the Cowichan Aquatic Centre, Cowichan Place and the Active Transportation Plan.

“That sounds reasonable,” replied Mark Ruttan, North Cowichan’s director of corporate services and deputy chief administrative officer, when asked how the various scenarios might play out. “We’re in uncharted territory.”

The results of the votes are non-binding.

Duncan citizens will asked two questions: • Are you in favour of spending time and resources to study the costs and benefits of the amalgamation of the municipalities of North Cowichan and the City of Duncan?

• Are you in favour of spending time and resources to study the options, costs and benefits of realignment of the existing boundaries of the City of Duncan, either separately, or together with an amalgamation study?

North Cowichan residents will be asked: • Are you in favour of conducting a study to explore the costs and benefits of amalgamation of the municipalities of North Cowichan and City of Duncan?

A factor that could play a role in the councils’ decisions is the fact there will be at least four new councillors on North Cowichan council, as only the mayor and two councillors are seeking re-election. All of Duncan’s council is seeking re-election.

“It’s very important who the next council is and what they think about amalgamation,” Ruttan said.

Jon Lefebure, Damir Wallener and John Koury (from left) are the three men seeking the mayor’s chair in North Cowichan.

Final mayoral meeting shows candidate contrast Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

N

orth Cowichan’s three mayoral hopefuls used a Sunday forum as their last face-to-face kick at the candidate campaign they’ve waged to coax voters to their corner on Nov. 15.

The mayors’-forum drew some 75 folks hosted by the Nanaimo-Duncan and District Labour Council in Island Savings Centre’s Koksilah room.

Incumbent mayor Jon Lefebure painted himself as a green-leaning, tax terrier trying to grow the economy while enhancing the environment.

“My goal is to be in the 2% (tax hike) range in 2015,” he said, blocking audience claims about rampant taxes.

“I believe we are a very well-run municipality, and I can show you your money is being used carefully and wisely.”

He also cited council’s 10-year tax holiday to lure new businesses to Chemainus, Crofton, and the University Village.

Environmentally, Lefebure backed council’s Climate Action and Energy Plan — and making North Cowichan a solar-panel showcase.

“I come to the table with a very strong concern for the environment ... which has

not had strong enough weight.”

Lefebure touted taking local action to raise Cowichan Lake’s weir, and save the river’s fish; moving the river’s treated- sewage outfall to Satellite Channel; expanding plastics recycling under MMBC programs; and treeplanting rather than a tree-cutting bylaw.

He was dubious Ottawa’s recent Comprehensive Economic & Trade Agreement would sap control of local water supplies.

Challenger Damir Wallener presented himself as a savvy, prudent, idea-man with an open mind, and an open door to citizen input about what’s realistic environmentally and economically.

“We’re all stronger working together,” he said.

Wallener didn’t favour “raiding” council’s reserve to keep taxes low, while the tax fracas has drained public trust in council.

“Taxes (issues) have turned into a barrage of numbers; people don’t feel they’re getting fair value for taxes they pay.”

Tax holidays are OK, but Wallener fancied filling basic business infrastructures — such as office space, and more — for wireless, high-tech jobs.

He suggested recycling solutions by local firms; rejected any local impacts by CETA; wanted more exploration of alternative energy, such as solar, through the climateaction plan; advised widespread support

for raising the lake’s weir; and suggested drafting a truly enforceable tree bylaw that respects big trees.

Candidate three, current councillor John Koury, spanked Lefebure’s council for “selling out” to corporate interests such as Catalyst’s Crofton mill — and a fostering low morale among the municipality’s union staff.

“Compare my record against the current mayor’s; things are broken at the municipality,” he said, citing what he saw as questionable budgeting.

“We run compounding surpluses every year; where did they go?”

Instead, Koury pitched running North Cowichan as a “gold-standard public service” generating more revenues without raising taxes.

He briefly addressed the room before leaving to door-knock, claiming he got insufficient notice for the meeting, and had little time to prepare comments.

He later emailed the News Leader Pictorial more about his platform, which included construction rebates designed to stimulate the trades economy, tax relief through a residential dividend fund, 24-hour callback to enquiries, 48-hour building permit issuance, better bylaw enforcement and pollution fines.

Balanced Budget Public Engagement Map & Alleviate Child Poverty Push to Remove Bus Fees Expand Individualized Learning Options Student Representation

Elizabeth Croft for School Trustee SD79 November 15 T: 604.931.9122 E: elizabethcroft@shaw.ca /Elizabeth.Croft.Cowichan @EcroftforTrustee

Experience: - 20 years of leadership experience on national, provincial & local Boards - Founding Director Oakdale Neighbourhood Assoc., recognized for “Outstanding Work in Bringing Community Together” - Communication Instructor, Native Communications Program, Grant MacEwan University; established Eagle Feather Scholarship

Currently: - Events & Membership Manager, Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce - Director, Raptor Rescue Society

in Cowichan

MY COMMITMENTS TO YOU: Public Engagement Cowichan residents made a solid showing at School Board budget consultations. I believe we could encourage more people to attend Open Board Meetings. Varying times and locations would make it easier for more to attend. I’d work to have the meetings recorded and posted online for 24/7 availability. School Trustees are elected representatives - it makes sense that their public deliberations are readily available.

Balanced Budget & Education Funding I support a balanced budget and the continued pursuit of best financial practices for best educational outcomes.

I participated in a lobbying effort to return millions of dollars in funding to the creative industries in Alberta. If a decision is made to lobby for increased funding, or to place increased funding on the agenda for the 2017 provincial election, I believe that experience would benefit the effort.

Educational Options The array of educational options is a very exciting aspect of public education. There are so many - university credits, accredited training, French Immersion, self-paced learning, open learning and more. The current District Achievement Contract commits to, “... supporting the diverse strengths and ways of learning of our students ...”. In a time when the school population fell, Cowichan’s alternate education programs grew. If elected, I would be a proponent for alternate education and honouring students’ individual learning styles and environments.

Bus Fees When money is tight, no one wants to let go of an income stream. Still, the Board does a thorough budget review each year.

Things can change. Let’s determine a budgetary target where we can rescind bus fees and give those families a break.

Child Poverty SD79 already connects with organizations to help Cowichan’s vulnerable students.

And teachers, administrators and parents run school-based projects. Still, resources and budgets are stretched. If elected, I will push for the following:

SO PROUD TO BE SUPPORTED BY: I am honoured to endorse Elizabeth. She is capable and committed with the common sense to turn plans and vision into reality.

Michael Coleman, Q.C. Past & longest serving Mayor of Duncan

1. Survey & map current interactions, agencies and outcomes.

2. Find synergies and more opportunities to make a difference.

3. Act & innovate accordingly

I've worked with Elizabeth at the Chamber of Commerce; she has a well-deserved reputation for integrity, vision and she gets things done.

Ruth Hartmann, Past Councillor & Deputy Mayor, North Cowichan

Student Representation & Outreach School Boards across Canada have elected Student Trustees and SD79 would benefit from a student voice. Cross-generational connections are enriching and grounding. I would also encourage a “Shadow School Board” with interested students and mentors. Trustees have many opportunities to visit schools and pursue mutual Q & A time with students. Students become voters – connection with the School Board is a solid introduction to public institutions and processes.

Elizabeth is a natural communicator - she has a way of arriving at solutions that keeps teams and their projects on track.

George Gates, Past Pres. Duncan Cowichan Chamber & now Candidate for North Cowichan Councillor I believe Elizabeth would be a great asset to

SD79. She's a communicator, dedicated to building community and always ready to run with a good idea.

Steve Housser, former Journalist & now Pres. BC Liberal Cowichan Valley Liberal Riding Assoc.

What About Amalgamation?

Proponents cite many benefits to bringing Ladysmith schools into SD79. If the initial evidence is positive, we should follow through with research and consultation, then move forward if the benefits justify the change.

Elizabeth brings an abundance of compassion, intelligence, and humour to our [Raptor Rescue Society] projects. I am confident she would be a great choice for this role, and she certainly gets my vote.

Gill Radcliff, Director Pacific Northwest Raptors Ltd.

Candidates for Duncan City council

V

Martin Barker: incumbent

Barker advocates low taxes, and a greater emphasis on traditional civic issues.

eteran mayor Phil Kent is facing a challenge from lawyer Peter Gordon as Kent bids to lead the city for his fourth term.

Kent said he’s running again because while Duncan council has a number of achievements — road, water and sewer improvements and upgrades, flood mitigation, and downtown beautification projects — there is more work to be done.

Gordon, who moved from Toronto to Maple Bay 10 years ago says the city is coasting along without much direction and action, and he would move to implement both.

Duncan voters have a slate of 14 candidates to choose from. Surrounding this story is a quick look at each.

Candidates for North Cowichan council

N

orth Cowichan voters may not have ever had such a varied list of choices in a municipal election.

Twenty people are pursuing seats on council, and only two of them

are incumbents.

There is a prominent streak of candidates (typified by, but not limited to, the group known as the TEAM) concerned with what they consider too much taxation and frivolous spending.

But the variety of choices crosses the entire spectrum.

Below is a quick look at eight of the candidates. Look for the remainder of the slate on page 13.

More details are available at cowichannewsleader.com.

Campbell touts a zero-percent property tax increase, no more wasteful spending, and some aid and encouragement for small businesses and farms.

The youngest candidate, Capps promises to not only be a voice for youth, but also a proven advocate for the community and its success.

• A strong, experienced voice.

• Community engagement.

• Balance growth & environmental protection.

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Town

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Due to overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Barbara Chapman is coming to DUNCAN, WED. NOVEMBER 26TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably?

• Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra?

• Do you overflow the cup of your bra?

• Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks?

• Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support?

• Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling

She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible.

Local apathetics are finally all out of excuses Election 2014: all the usual roadblocks don’t apply, it’s time you made the effort

ote Saturday.

Cowichanians who care about our valley’s wellbeing have no reason not to cast a ballot this time.

Lame excuses such as “None of them are any good”, “I don’t know who to vote for”, and “My vote doesn’t count” just won’t cut it.

Democracy is in full swing as a great slate of candidates are running for office as school trustees, Duncan and North Cowichan mayors and councillors, and regional directors spanning Saltair to the Malahat.

Get out and That slew of hopefuls — featured vote in the New Leader Pictorial’s stories, Election webpage, and today’s capsule profile — is among the highest concentration of candidates in decades.

Cowichan is at an economic and environmental crossroad — water worries and rising taxes topped issues raised at recent all-candidate forums.

Voters can choose the old guard with tried-and-true track records, or elect new blood with new ideas to tackle our pressing problems until 2018.

Those issues are affecting your taxes, kids, roads, jobs, and your healthy lifestyle right now.

There are candidates of both sexes and all ages, candidates who span the entire political spectrum in their ideals, and social spectrum in their personalities.

The weather is expected to be good. The locations and hours are convenient and there are even candidates happy to give you a ride to the polls.

Thankfully, early numbers show local voters are acting where it really counts: at the ballot box.

So vote Nov. 15 — or give up your right to complain later.

We say:

Seeing both sides of: the amalgation study vote The case against

The case for

This question is one that never seems to go away.

It may very well be that keeping North Cowichan and Duncan as currently constituted is the very best thing for area residents.

But until that is verified by an actual study, how will we know?

And if there is a better set-up, aren’t we selling ourselves short by not pinpointing it and making it reality?

The question of Duncan joining North Cowichan has dogged this community for 100 years.

Sometimes mom’s brain just needs a breather Ashley Degraaf

I

can’t count how many times my husband’s given me that, “Did you really just ask that?” look in the past five months.

I can write this column fine.

I remember what items are needed for the pool.

I know roughly the time of day both “More often than kids have their bowel I’d like to admit I movements.

And, I hardly start to tell someever forget to pack one something, but snacks.

But ask me forget what it was something simple, mid-sentence.” especially not childrelated and you might not get a good

Degraaf

answer, let alone one at all.

I often ask the same question a couple times.

And more often than I’d like to admit I start to tell someone something, but forget what it was mid-sentence.

I recently saw a Facebook post with a photo of two eggs, one intact and the other hard boiled and broken.

The caption read, “This is your brain.

This is your brain with three kids.”

Baby brain, mommy brain, and pregnancy brain all belong to the same family.

With irregular hormones, sleep deprivation, and emotional fatigue as factors, it’s no wonder, especially when most moms’ brains work a mile a minute.

Take for example a series of typical thoughts that enter my mind in say 30 seconds: “I can’t forget Sunny’s leash.

“When I get back from the walk I better

Is there a more tiresome question in the local political world than the question of Duncan/North Cowichan amalgamation.

Aside from a few who thrive on politics, who actually cares?

Any study will be devoured by suspicion and political self-interests and will ultimately sit on a shelf, but not before opening wounds and creating hard feelings in the community.

message that chick on Facebook.

“Jack needs a doctor’s appointment for next week, better call the office.

“Crap, Jack’s got a jiffy marker.

“Audrey needs an appointment too.

“Awesome; my coffee is cold again.

“I better write down diapers on the grocery list. And wasn’t there something else we needed?

“Grandma called earlier I wonder what she’s up to.

“Audrey’s going to wake up soon, better do those dishes.”

So shoot me if I’m sometimes forgetful.

I might have recently scrapped a whole conversation with my husband about downloading the newest season of Sons of Anarchy.

But let’s be honest, watching a show about

guns, sex and bikers — although extremely entertaining — is pretty far off from the diapers, bottles, and spit up I deal with 90% of my day.

This column is really a plea to dads and other folks out there to give us moms a break, literally and figuratively.

Please have patience with us.

And if you can’t, put yourself in our shoes.

Actually that’s a great idea. Take the kids for a day.

Let mommy’s brain take a breather.

Logging crews buck a dangerous tree threatening the Brownstone Court apartment building Friday off Trunk Road. The tree became unstable during Thursday’s wild windstorm that unplugged power and dropped debris across Cowichan. No injuries were reported.

One reader writes today praising crews for their response to last week’s storm.

Dear editor Democracy is such a troublesome imposition. In the Second World War, my grandfather put it all on the line in Flanders. Thirty years later, my father risked all on Juno Beach. Thankfully, this November, 70 years on, I need sacrifice only a few minutes to enlist and vote here in Cowichan.

Sportsplex tax paying for something we don’t use

Dear editor Re the Cowichan Sportsplex refererendum.

If you vote yes, you will be authorizing the CVRD to add its funding to your taxes as a permanent line item. You can be sure of one thing: taxes go up and your annual contribution to the Chesterfield Sports Society will go up.

For Area G the increase is $1.49 (I will call this the ST value) per $100,000. If your assessed value is, say $359,000, multiply the ST value by 3.59 and you will you will be paying $5.35. At first glance, $5.35 a year does not seem too bad, but take it one step further. I took my ST value and then I compared that amount I am already paying for recreation.

By calculating the percentage increase the referendum proposes, I find the referendum will increase my cost by 10%! This is a 10% increase for a facility in Duncan that takes about a half hour to drive to; one my family has never used and probably will never use.

We asked you: “Do you know who you will vote for Saturday?”

You answered:

73 per cent YES

to fund in the same manner as we have in the past, by raising private funds, then using matching grants to complete the project. This plan has a very light footprint on local government. In exchange, the community has a facility that in today’s dollars, particularly if land acquisition was included, would easily exceed $12 million to achieve.

The planning, the fundraising, and the fact that we have minimized the burden on the local taxpayer by the way we obtained capital to build out the facility have been overlooked by the naysayers. Where else in this wonderful area of ours can you find something as significant, “given” to the community by a group of hard-working, generous individuals at such a small cost to the local tax base?

We know going into this referendum that we can lose just as easily as win. No guarantees one way or the other. But please be aware that the referendum is not granting new funds, but reallocating existing funding within

Sportsplex gives a lot at very little taxpayer cost

Dear editor The Cowichan Sportsplex hosted the North American Indigenous Games and the B.C. Senior games. We will be part of the 2018 B.C. Summer Games.

Many charitable organizations use our site as an assembly point for their annual major fundraising events. Many other sporting events happen on this site as well as the week-in week-out seasonal play that takes place. There is a soft walking trail newly opened this year at little or no cost to the local taxpayer, which together with the oversized outdoor exercise equipment (donated by the provincial government) and illuminated night use, makes us a safe and welcoming place for the elderly. And let’s not forget the playground for our younger users.

For the future, we have still some unfinished work, but expect

the CVRD budget. It is a very small amount when compared to recreational costs in general. Or even a $5 cup of fancy coffee per household.

Richard Ellis, Treasurer Chesterfield Sports Society

Report on women’s heart health misleading

Dear editor Because of your anti-male sexism, you won’t tell readers why more women die of heart disease: far women than men live to the old ages when both sexes are at the highest risk.

Hydro crews deserve so much praise

Dear editor My wife and I would like to give high praise to all of the electrical lineman and crews who have worked so hard, spending long hours at a dangerous and hectic job to restore our power, and fix all of the power outages in the Cowichan.

With all of the problems present today, we are blessed to live in such a magnificent place, in a time in the world, where such a service is available to us.

Our new super-efficient wood burning insert kept us warm, and candles gave us light, as we heard the trucks and the voices of the Hydro, Horizon, and many other out of-the-valley workers, who were doing their jobs in service to all of us.

These are modern-day heroes who sacrifice their family time, their free time, and their sleep to bring us back online. They all deserve encouragement and the blessings of spirit for their service.

We hope that they all made a bundle of overtime pay!

Mill should not have its hand on our tap

Dear editor The Cowichan is a heritage river. Why were 300 to 400 jobs at the mill more important than a heritage river? Who governs the mill water useage? It was ankle deep, the river and nothing was done. It’s crazy if the mill is its own watch dog.

DATELINE: COWICHAN

Farming dominates the news headlines Dateline 1932: Turkeys, oats, cattle and seeds Ann Andersen

News Leader Pictorial

F

our separate stories on the front page of the Leader reveal local pride in and commitment to farming in Cowichan. At a meeting at the home of Col. H. D. McLaughlin, Norcross Road, Cowichan turkey breeders set a date for their annual sale during a year that saw the establishment of government inspection.

During a visit to inspect local pens, Dominion poultry producers G. R. Wilson and E. Bonnieman said the Valley’s birds were much in advance of birds elsewhere in Canada. Cowichan turkey raisers should go in for breeding stock for export, Bonnieman said.

In what was considered good for Cowichan, a yield of 90 bushels of oats per acre was shown by threshing returns from Mr. A. J. Richards’s farm in Westholme. Meanwhile, Mr. B. Young of Koksilah reported a harvest of 70 to 75 bushels per acre.

Membership grew in the Cowichan Jersey Cattle Club with Messrs. Iver Thomas Styger, Hedley Vickers and Kirkwood cooperating with the organization which represented 21 prominent breeders from Cedar south to Cobble Hill and represented several hundred head of Jersey cattle.

A fourth story saw 20 Cowichan agriculturists protesting after a Dominion clampdown on foreign importations of seeds.

1932: fire

by Ann Andersen

Lake Cowichan’s two-story Riverside Inn, owned and operated by Norman G. Thomas, was razed by a fire of unknown origin that began in the kitchen. Loss, estimated at $30,000, was partly covered by insurance.

1932: school Queen Margaret’s School headmistress Miss N. C. Denny returned from attending the opening of new buildings at Queen Margaret’s School in Scarborough, England, where she was a pupil. She was accompanied by her brother, Mr. H. A. M. Denny.

1932: eggs

A 10-bird pen at Mr. A. D. Drummond’s Herd Road Westwood Poultry Farm topped all Canada in cross-country egg-laying contests with a score of 2,699.9 points and 2,452 eggs. The hens were sired by one of Westholme’s Mr. L. F. Solly’s birds.

Review: Funny, poignant play one to remember Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

N

ot since The Boys Next Door was staged nearly 20 years ago have Cowichanians pondered mental disabilities — and morals they evoke — as they did during Saturday’s superb dramatic-comedy Kiss The Moon, Kiss The Sun. Mercury Players’ existential tearjerker displayed wonderful characterization by its five-member cast under daring director Marinus Vesseur, and seasoned assistantdirector Alex Gallacher.

Both guys also graced Norm Foster’s heartfelt script, lending us new views of those struggling with handicaps — and fresh appreciation for those caring for them.

Emotions hugged Vesseur’s Oscar-worthy depiction of Robert, a man left with the mentality of an eight-year-old after a boating accident decades earlier.

But thanks to kind-yet-disciplined care from his mom, Claire (Gloria Saesura), Robert leads a happy, productive life.

He works at a copy shop; shops at grocery store where folks like him; dutifully eats his Corn Flakes; punctually takes the bus to work; and tenderly kisses his mom good-

But blissful Robert’s routine hit a hairpin curve when he met miserably pregnant gal, Holly (Breann Landry) at the bus stop.

She had just split from her conceited beau, Simon (Gallacher), a nerdish English professor who valued his career before his child, and blamed a bad condom for Holly’s pregnancy.

Robert and Holly’s fragile friendship bloomed while doomed, secretly ill Claire consulted cold Dr. Andrews (Michael Terides) about her failing condition.

Thinking of Robert’s future outside of a “facility”, Claire convinced an unwitting Holly to share their apartment, and care for Robert — in anticipation of Claire’s impending death.

The three forge a sweet little family for newborn, Clayton.

But that was jolted when deadbeat dad, Simon, arrived to woo Holly back.

Despite Kiss’ seemingly tame plot, it teemed with timely messages about responsibility, guilt, compassion, love, sorrow and regret in this golden production that — as Robert fondly repeated — reminds us life’s simple solutions are “easier said than done.”

This Kiss is must viewing for everyone with a heart, and a conscience.

Kiss The Moon, Kiss The Sun runs at Duncan’s Mercury Theatre on Brae Road, Nov. 13 to 15 at 7:30 p.m.

VOTE FOR I am ready to work on the real issues we face...

• Taxes & Spending • Accountability • Economy • Environment MUNICIPALITY OF NORTH COWICHAN

My name is Greg Robson. I was born and raised in the Cowichan Valley. I am married to Carli and have two children Delaney (15) and Grady (13). I own Greg’s RV Place as well as R&L Investments. I am running because I feel my business has thrived from the people of the Cowichan Valley and I would like to give back.

TAXES & SPENDING: North Cowichan residents have seen horrendous tax increases that are way above inflationary percentages. There is no reason for this. Inflation should be the benchmark for any tax Increase and I will recommend this be the measure. Furthermore I feel there is no need for any increases for the foreseeable future.

ECONOMY: The role of North Cowichan should be to provide businesses with the courtesy of making all processes speedy and efficient. An “Open For Business” attitude will provide growth and jobs. The result will increase our tax base which will allow extra revenue for our community.

ACCOUNTABILITY: The role of councillor is to steward tax dollars. This revenue is hard earned money from the constituents and budgeting should be crucial. I will use sound business practices.

Greg Robson: 250-748-6111

greg.gregsrv@shaw.ca | gregsrv.com

ENVIRONMENT: There should be a balance between community financial well being and the environment. Sound environmental sustainability can be achieved with a healthy economy. Increased tax base due to growth can subsidize environmental feasibility.

The Northern Grapes?

The Pikes Of Wrath?

We’ll find out Nov. 20 when the guitarists from these beloved Canadian bands come to Duncan to play the new Duncan Showroom and share some of their favourite songs from the past 30 years and new solo material.

From the mid-1980s to the early-1990s, The Grapes Of Wrath and The Northern Pikes produced some of the catchiest and most heartfelt singles and videos to come out of Canada at that time.

Although the bands shared similar values musically, they only performed on the same

Fast forward some 20 years later, and the guitarists from each of these bands find themselves living just blocks away from one another in Toronto.

This realization led to the two of them getting together to hang out with a couple of guitars for some casual jams, and the conclusion: “This sounds good! Let’s do some shows!”

They’re hitting the road this month, as the Vancouver Island Music Connection presents a rare opportunity to hear Potvin and Kane together.

Potvin and Kane will be performing Thursday, Nov. 20 at 8 p.m. at the new Duncan Showroom at 133 Station St. Tickets for this all-ages show are $25 in advance through www.showroomproductions.ca or $30 at the door.

drive. It needs to be treated with respect but getting on the power or the brakes is very smooth and effortless.

The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload. After dozens of laps around the track with a top speed of 230km/h down the straight, this car is nothing short of amazing. Everything else just feels slow.

Verdict The average buyer will still opt for the ($32,495) V6equipped cars sold with a solid 300 hp going to the rear wheels or all wheels, the V8-equipped cars are not offered with AWD any longer. The most amazing, but unspectacular part of the trip was driving the Hellcat back to Washington, D.C. through heavy traffic on the highway and downtown core.

As we pulled up the W Hotel, just a block from the Whitehouse, the 707 hp Hellcat returned 9.9L/100km.

Nothing short of amazing considering the cars output, but it might come down to the 411 lb.-ft. the engine puts out at just 1,200 rpm, allowing it to loaf along effortlessly. This and the $64,495 price tag will get a lot of car fans sitting up and paying attention; the world’s fastest four-door family car is an amazing engineering marvel and the price is as jaw-dropping as the car itself.

The Lowdown Power: 707 hp from a supercharged 6.2L V8 Sticker price: $32,496-$64,495 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Elizabeth May asking Canadians Who We Are

Book launch: Green Party leader urges Canadians to rise up and fight for their country

Peter W. Rusland

reen Party leader Elizabeth May’s eighth book, Who We Are, Reflections on My Life and Canada, is a fascinating read by a woman who’s led an extraordinary life.

Its chief message is clear: it’s time Canadians re-engage with the political process, start voting again and take their country back from a government and PM who have a very different vision of Canada than what many Canadians hold dear.

The Duncan launch of May’s book is being held Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. at Volume One Books.

The 214-page book is filled with stories and pictures of May with the who’s who of the 20th century. Actor Cliff Robertson is May’s godfather.

Bill Clinton, a man she’s known since she was 17, wrote a reference letter that helped get her into law school.

Other notables include: senator Eugene McCarthy, actor Paul Newman, environmentalist and author Farley Mowat, congresswoman Bella Abzug, animal activist Jane Goodall, singers Pete Seeger, Gordon Lightfoot, Sting, and Paul McCartney and the former leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev and his wife Raisa.

In the must-read book, May answers the question: what’s happened to our country? It’s a question she gets a lot, from her constituents and other Canadians.

A question she asks is how a country that prided itself for decades on its reputation as an international peacemaker suddenly finds itself bombing ISIS in the Middle East, a decision led by a prime minster who she says refers to Canada as a warrior nation.

“Stephen Harper is much more comfortable with Canada being on the offence,” she said.

In her behind-the-scenes look at federal politics, she dismayingly reveals the loss of a Member

Elizabeth May speaks to Dwight International School students in the spring of 2012. of Parliament’s right to vote in their constituents’ best interests, instead being “whipped,” into voting along party lines.

“They’re (Conservatives) even scripted as to what they can say in committee,” May said, adding the NDP under Thomas Mulcair controls its members even more. “Jack Layton allowed his members to vote the way they wanted if their constituents felt strongly about a certain issue.”

MPs who served in the 1980s and who could vote as they pleased, would be, “horrified,” she said, at how complacently new MPs blindly accept what they’ve been told are the rules of the game.

She describes the new federal political reality, where a Canadian PM has more power than an American president, or the British PM. “In the U.S., the president is restricted by a system of checks and balances...and in the UK, the PM must deal with a purer system of Westminster parliamentary democracy than in Canada,” she writes. “In

contrast, a Canadian PM can be a virtual dictator.”

Asked why Canadians aren’t as incensed as she, May said the Canadian media has been quite debilitated, with recent cuts and more concentrated ownership.

“It’s hard for citizens to be incensed when they aren’t told what’s going on,” the Green Party leader said, adding it’s one of the reasons she writes and blogs so much, so her constituents and all Canadians can see what’s really going on. “There has been a dumbing down, with shorter and shorter clips...reporters are covering each other, we’re seeing opinions instead of news.”

News that got May bad press recently was a Tweet she made, supporting disgraced former CBC host, Jian Ghomeshi, who is accused of assaulting and harassing a number of women. No criminal charges have been laid, with Ghomeshi maintaining he is innocent. May said she tweeted before having all the facts.

“I believed I was defending a friend who had been attacked unfairly,” the

leader said, adding she changed her opinion once women came forward the next day.

“Some good may come out of this, it may have done something to encourage women to come forward.

It’s a very tragic story, he isn’t taking responsibility.”

Other subjects in Who We Are, a marriage of memoir and manifesto, include: her upbringing in the hands of her activist family, learning the political ropes, watching what she calls Canada’s global reputation plummet, becoming Green Party leader and how science came under attack as Canada moved toward becoming a petro state. She also makes points on rescuing democracy from politics.

The books sells for $29.95.

SMITH, ROY

March 13, 1925 – October 27, 2014 My Dad did everything his way, in life and in death. He passed away peacefully in his sleep knowing his two children would be there to support one another. There was a small ‘celebration of life’ and it was just how he would have wanted it – ďŹ sh n’ chips and a pint. He had even told me who to invite ‘when the time came’. If you knew my Dad you are smiling and nodding right now.

He would want to thank everyone who cared for him and for the wonderful friendships he enjoyed, past and present. Most of all he would be thankful for all four of us ‘kids’ who loved him to bits.

To my Dad – Jim did you proud! Sam will continue to be deeply loved but he will always remain ‘your dog’. Thank you for all you did for me – didn’t always understand your reasons, but it’s all clear to me now.

Tell Mom I love her, hug Suzie for me and offer Joel a chair please.

I love you and I will forever be your little girl.

GREGORY, Wendy Lynn (Allen, nee Thurber) ended her journey with cancer in the early hours of Nov 9, 2014 with her family in constant attendance during her final week in hospital.

She was accomplished at everything she endeavoured in life: She was a wonderful wife and soul mate to John Gregory during the 25 years they shared together. She was Mother and best friend to daughter Jennifer (Dan) Perry and adoring Nana to Jack-Gregory and Henry.

She was an attentive and loving daughter to Janet Thurber Groves. She leaves an ache in the hearts of her sisters Gill (Vince) Desjardins, Leslie Lafferty, Janice Thurber and brothers Dave Thurber (Cheryl), Tim Thurber, and her sister-in-law Marilyn (Garth) McKenzie and all their families.

Wendy had been happily retired for 14 years after a successful 20 year career as an executive with Avon Products. Entering into her retirement she became a Master Gardener which she practiced in her garden at Maple Bay and as an advisor to family, friends and neighbours alike.

Wendy also took up Duplicate Bridge in her retirement and enjoyed the many opportunities for friendship and challenge that it brought.

Together with her husband John, Wendy took on several property renovations in Maple Bay as a hobby turning several houses into beautiful homes.

She was an avid hiker. Her morning walks with her neighbourhood friends and 3 adoring poodles was a must to start every day. Wendy had intended to hike the Camino Trail in Spain in 2013 and unfortunately her plans were curtailed by the untimely diagnoses of her illness.

Wendy lived and worked in countries around the world and leaves both family and friends in Canada, Australia and abroad.

Wendy had a full and happy life and we will all miss her terribly.

No service as requested, a private get together will be scheduled at a later date.

In lieu of flowers the family would greatly appreciate donations to The BC Cancer Agency, Vancouver Island Center, 2410 Lee Ave, Victoria, BC, V8R6V5 or by phone 1-866-519-5550 Or online www.bccancerfoundation.com

Collins, Catherine Isabella 1925 – 2014

Catherine was born in Islay, Alberta, the second youngest of seven children. Catherine (nee Forbes) attended University of Toronto where she met and married Art. They began their married life in Toronto, later relocating their family to North Vancouver where they enjoyed many happy years prior to retiring to Chemainus in 1988. Catherine was an energetic tennis player and an avid bridge enthusiast and she and Art made many friends pursing these pastimes. She especially enjoyed maintaining connections with her grandchildren, keeping abreast of their activities and supporting their pursuits.

Catherine died in Victoria on November 6 following a stroke. She will be remembered by: her sister Grace Peden; her husband Art; her four children: Mark (Karen), Mary Jane (Lee), Irene (Mike) and Roy (Sherri); and by eight grandchildren: Nicole, Ken, Courtney, Rob, Cate, Carly, Jay and Cassidy.

She was a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother and we will miss her forever.

A celebration of Catherine’s life will be held at the Chemainus Seniors’ Drop-In Centre at 2 pm on Sunday, November 16, 2014.

Clarke started his 30 years of service with Chevron exploration in Edmonton, Alberta and was then transferred to Calgary, Alberta where he raised his family. It was always his lifelong dream to live on Vancouver Island where he could hike and bike all year long. His wishes were granted in 1993 when he retired and moved to the island where he was finally home. He was predeceased by his parents Paul and Marjorie Williamson. He is survived by his wife Jennifer, his daughters Janet (Gene) Hutson, Tammy (Ron) Mulder and Karen (Neal) Alberda; his granddaughters Keeley, Alexus and Elise; his twin sister Dixie (Dave) King, Dale Lussier and his niece and nephews. Our family would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of the nurses and physicians at CDH that took such great care of dad and supported us through this most difficult time. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the BC Cancer Society. Condolences may be offered online at www.sandsduncan.ca

Daphne was born in Duncan BC to Duncan (Cornwall UK) and Daisy (Kent UK) Cox and was one of eight children.

Predeceased by first husband Charles Dougan, sisters Gwen Read and Beverly Uzzell; brothers Bill, Gordon, Doug and Brick. Survived by husband Kenneth Chatterton, son James Dougan, daughters Nancy Bennett (Allan Pollard) and Sandra Murtough (Marc), stepsons Allan (Joan) and Lindsay Chatterton, ten grandchildren, three step-grandchildren, sixteen greatgrandchildren, brother Jim (Ruth) Cox, brother-in-law Dave (Loll) Dougan and sisters-in-law, Roma Cox and Jean Hoover, plus numerous nephews and nieces.

Daphne spent her growing-up years in the Valley and was schooled at Cowichan Station. She married at seventeen and spent the first fifteen years of marriage in the Dougan/Cox logging camp on Texada Island, moving later with her family to Cobble Hill where she spent the majority of her life. In 1974 she went to work at Hill’s Canoe Store as a clerk, postmistress, and later as manager until her retirement in 1991.

After losing Charlie in 1989, she went on to marry Kenneth Chatterton in 1993 and together they enjoyed five great years of companionship, laughter and travel before her major stroke in 1998. He has been a continued source of strength, and a wonderful husband to her through her remaining years. Daphne was remarkable, and had an upbeat spirit, managing her stroke beautifully and with humour. She spent the last fourteen years as a resident of Cairnsmore Extended Care in Duncan where she was happy, well cared for, and much loved by staff, her family, and her community. Her presence will be greatly missed.

A memorial tea for all will be held at Arbutus Ridge Golf and Country Club in Cobble Hill on Saturday November 15th at 2:00 pm.

Anyone wishing to could donate to Cairnsmore PlaceCowichan District Hospital Foundation. www.cdhfoundation. org/cairnsmore.shtml On line condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

hemainus Secondary School isn’t known for producing championship teams in volleyball. But that’s all changing.

With good coaching and a renewed focus to develop talent in the sport, Chemainus achieved instant success by winning the Island A crown for senior boys and qualified to compete in the provincials at Abbotsford Christian School Nov. 20 to 22.

Andrew Easson brought his considerable volleyball experience from Duncan Christian School to formulate a plan that’s already paying dividends.

“My hope is that this provincial trip will be just what the school needs to create a buzz for the volleyball program,’’ noted coach Easson. “By next year, this team could be a contender, so I anticipate that you will be hearing much more about them by next volleyball season.’’

Heading into the Island tournament, there wasn’t a clear favourite among the four teams. Two teams had not seen each other during the season.

Since Ucluelet beat Chemainus at last year’s Island championship, Chemainus seniors Zach Diewert and Richard Moore were not interested in seeing history repeat itself.

As the tournament progressed, it turned into a real dogfight. Chemainus was the only team that hadn’t played in tournaments and league matches, taking time to get the season going and just starting to practice two weeks before the Island finals. All Chemainus had under its belt was an exhibition match against the competitive DCS junior boys.

Don Bodger/file

Andrew Easson put a winning game plan into effect immediately with the Chemainus Secondary senior boys’ volleyball team.

Scores were a bit deceiving, with the only close matches for Chemainus coming against Ucluelet during round robin play.

Chemainus beat Campbell River 2520, 25-12 and Gaglardi 25-12, 25-16.

Chemainus had Ucluelet on the ropes in the first game with a 24-19 lead but caught a couple of unlucky breaks that suddenly turned the game into a 24-24 tie.

From there, it went back and forth but Chemainus served the last couple of points to win 28-26. There was no turning back as Chemainus romped to a 25-11 win in the second set.

Chemainus faced Ucluelet again in the championship match and the teams were neck-and-neck in the first game again, tied at 18-18 and 22-22. Ucluelet pulled ahead 24-22, but coach Easson called a time-out to compose the team and Kyle Kulak promptly served four straight points to produce a 26-24 victory.

The second set was not nearly as close again and Chemainus took a 25-19 victory, leading by three or four points most of the way.

Jayden Hamm was the tournament’s most valuable player and Moore received all-star status. Diewert, Nathaniel White and Sam Baker also played well throughout for Chemainus.

owichan Valley rowers don’t take a back seat to anyone.

More evidence of that came during the summer.

Michael Thornton rowed with the men’s U23 coxed four that won gold in the U23 world championships at Lago Varese, Italy.

Thornton was a hard-working junior rower in his formative years at the Maple Bay Rowing Club and graduated from Frances Kelsey Secondary in 2010 before heading to the University of Washington to row varsity. He graduated from UW this year.

The acceleration from there to world champion has been amazing.

Thornton actually trained with the Brentwood College senior men’s 8+ during his Grade 12 year and travelled to nationals with them.

There’s another connection to Brentwood on the crew with Martin Barakso, a 2012 graduate now attending Princeton University.

The men’s coxed four final was an exciting race. Italy was the defending world champion in the event but had

Heading into the final sprint, Canada was under threat from New Zealand but held on. France was third, Great Britain fourth, United States fifth and Italy sixth.

Brentwood battles hard for consolation honours Provincial field hockey: Team puts out a great effort in Oliver Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

T

he Brentwood College girls’ field hockey team ended the provincial A girls’ field hockey tournament in Oliver with three wins, two ties and just one loss.

Brentwood also won the consolation trophy.

“We are very, very proud of the girls,’’ said coach Alanna Martin, assisted by Miranda Mann.

“They played with a lot of heart and did their school proud, their coaches proud and themselves proud — an excellent end to the season.’’

Brentwood played the host Southern Okanagan Secondary School team first and then Southridge. Both games ended in 1-1 ties.

“We had lots of play but could not put the ball into the back of the net,’’ noted Martin.

The final pool game was against Collingwood. The girls were playing excellent hockey and dominating the game, but Collingwood scored on a penalty corner — a high scoop into the top right corner.

The girls went right back at Collingwood but ended up losing 2-0.

“The girls were disappointed that we did not make it to the championship round,’’ Martin indicated.

Brentwood Grade 12’s Piper Heaman, Isabelle Durrans and Jordan Barrett accept the consolation trophy.

But the team bounced back in the consolation round with wins over Glenlyon Norfolk, Okanagan Mission and Southridge.

They played for each other and Grade 12s Isabelle Durrans, Jordan Barrett and Piper Heaman.

At the preceding Island championships, Brentwood defeated Glenlyon to advance to the final against St. Michael’s. Brentwood trailed 1-0 but battled back to tie.

St. Michael’s scored with three minutes remaining for the title and Brentwood entered provincials as Island No. 2.

After working in the industry for 21 years Dean felt it was time to go on his own and opened a home-based business. In 13 years, we increased our clientele to the point of having to move from home and open a larger shop. In that time, we never advertised.

In August of 2013 we expanded and moved to the industrial park.

Simon approached us to do some advertising.

We sat and he explained it all to me and we set a budget for the year, which was a great help as this was something we had never done before.

At the end of our meeting we agreed he was the paper guy and we were the mechanics.

Simon always contacts me, sends proofs

This has definitely expanded our business to the point where we have had to add extra people to our work force. I believe that it is the result of the help of the great staff at the News Leader this has happened. I cannot thank them enough for all the help and hard work.

O

utdoor play for the ladies’ division at Cowichan Golf and Country Club concluded with a very close vice-captain vs. captain team contest.

Judy Turner’s vice-captain’s team prevailed over the captain’s team headed by Pat Molyneaux by one point.

Players on Turner’s team included: Kathy Coates, Tina Pace, Nancy Munro, Ellen Norton, Lynda Morrison, Mandy McKelvie, Christa Robson, Rosemary Branting, Jeannie Wilkinson, Peggy Robertson, Sandra Brooks, Judy Holmes, Doris Kenyon, Joyce Willis, Vickie Clarke and Arlene Hornett.

Maartje Reimer had a great day, chipping in for birdies on both No. 1 and 15. Doreen White (No. 2), Val Anderson (No. 4) and McKelvie (No. 13) also made birdies.

White was the K.P. winner on No. 6, Robson on No. 8, McKelvie on No. 13 and Louise Ketilson on No. 15.

It was a whole month before Halloween but the Tombstone event preceded that competition on Oct. 1.

Anderson, McKelvie, Arlene Lepp and Holmes formed the winning foursome. Ellen Lyon had a birdie on No. 3 while Holmes (No. 8) and Lepp (No. 15) claimed the K.P.s.

Meanwhile, valley golfers did well during the Zone 5 women’s foursomes at Bear Mountain in Victoria.

Marilyn Znider and Barbara Bertagnolli of Arbutus Ridge were the winners of the First Flight.

oing undefeated in league play all season was a hard act to follow but the Frances Kelsey Breakers junior girls’ volleyball team still finished third and won the most sportsmanlike team award during the Mid-Island tournament.

Brentwood College took top honours and Lake Cowichan was the runner-up.

Brentwood came first in Pool A, with

station y o u ’ v e

Lake Cowichan second and Duncan Christian third. In Pool B, the Breakers were first followed by Gulf Islands and Chemainus.

In the crossover, the Breakers battled Lake Cowichan hard and split the first two games. It was a close third game, but not quite enough to get the Breakers into the final.

The Kelsey team consisted of close to 40 players in Grades 8 to 10, practicing since the end of September. Nine of the Grade 10 girls participated in the MidIsland tournament.

owichan United has suddenly slipped into the middle of the pack in Div. 2 of the Island Soccer League.

Cowichan lost 2-0 to Sagres Saturday, dropping its record to 5-5.

Before that, Cowichan and Lakehill went into a game against each other tied for first place. Lakehill won 2-1 on a late goal with less than 10 minutes to play.

“I was really pleased with our effort and compete level,’’ noted Cowichan coach Ryan Flynn.

The game was scoreless at the half. Lakehill drew first blood in the first couple of minutes of the second half.

However, “the boys didn’t give up at all and really wanted to get back on even terms,’’ Flynn pointed out.

Cowichan answered less than 10 minutes after the Lakehill goal with a great shot to the bottom corner

by Robbie Martin.

“It was a very even game after those two goals,’’ Flynn indicated.

The Cowichan team continues to receive great fan support, something Flynn noted the players really appreciated.

Cowichan had a previous 1-0 victory over Prospect Lake Black taken away and turned into a default loss.

Details of the reasons for the reversal in the outcome were not available.

United is back in action Saturday with a home game against the Gordon Head Blazers at 6 p.m.

Marina’s abudant hours in arenas well-spent

California beamin’ Southern exposure: Brentwood girls hone their skills on the beach and in the gym

Fab four: Skater one of the few with gold feet in all disciplines Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

M

arina Ellison’s first name might suggest she’s great on the water, but it’s the frozen variety that’s her specialty.

The Frances Kelsey Secondary student is one of the few valley figure skaters to ever complete a rare quadruple in figure skating, attaining her gold feet in all four disciplines — freeskate, skills, interpretive and dance.

“Marina has put in a lot of hard work and dedication to the sport of figure skating since Day One,’’ noted Shannon McKinlay, her coach at the Fuller Lake Skating Club.

“Marina’s strength as a skater is athleticism. She has always been a great role model to the young skaters and a pleasure to coach. What amazes me the most about this accomplishment is she also excelled in both field hockey and school.’’

Ellison achieved her gold skills at the age of 13, freeskate at 14, and the ice dance and interpretive in April at 15.

She’s been skating since the age of four and began working on her first dances at age six.

“The first few tests of each category are easier to learn and complete,’’ noted Ellison. “One might get through with a few months of practice, but as they get

harder, it could take a year of working on a test — for example, I practiced the whole skating season before I tested my gold skills.’’

Some tests she’s failed, but Ellison indicated it’s a great feeling to finally pass after more practice.

Taking dance classes since the age of four helped, Ellison reasoned, plus having great coaches like McKinlay, Lorraine Francisty and Lee Jessey.

“They were very encouraging and helpful when I had failed some along the way,’’ Ellison pointed out.

While happy to have completed all her tests, Ellison indicated she’s also sad because testing was such a big part of her skating and she’ll miss it.

She’s currently working on a new freeskate program to keep busy on the ice and is thinking of taking the Canskate coaching program course in Vancouver.

With only one more year of skating after this, Ellison is thinking she might audition for skating shows after graduation like her coach McKinlay did.

“She was one of the lucky ones who got a job through skating,’’ noted Ellison. “She worked with Disney On Ice for a number of years and had loads of fun traveling the world.’’

Ellison is thinking of heading straight to university after high school, “but you never know,’’ she conceded. “Plans could change.’’

Marina Ellison’s sporting activities are very important to her. Skating, she noted, “has taught me perseverance and determination, to work hard, fall hard and practice over and over to achieve success.’’

t was like a page out of a spring training baseball camp.

Coach Jill Fougner took her Brentwood College senior girls’ volleyball team south to California for a week of fall games and training on the beach and in the gym.

“We could only go down there during our mid-term,’’ said Fougner. “That didn’t Andrew Leong/file quite coincide with their Jill Fougner and her girls’ deadlines.’’

The team set up camp at volleyball team enjoyed time in Carlsbad and Anaheim and California. won both of its matches.

But the training opportunity proved more beneficial with time on the beach at the Wahine Beach Training Facility in Carlsbad run by former U.S. pro player Noel Frohmann, whom Fougner happens to know from her time in the sport.

In Anaheim, the girls also enjoyed training at the American Sports Centre Arena, a massive facility with 40+ volleyball and basketball courts.

On top of that, the team witnessed a National Collegiate Athletic Association women’s volleyball game at UCLA between UCLA and the Washington Huskies.

“That was a highlight for the girls,’’ said Fougner.

Upon its return, Brentwood placed second to Ladysmith in the AA North Island tournament, losing the final 25-16, 22-25, 21-25, 16-25.

The Island tournament is at St. Michael’s and Brentwood is hosting the AA provincials Nov. 27 to 29.

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 35

Velox takes over in second half Rugby roundup: Men lose second straight, women victimized by untimely penalties Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

I

t’s been a rough three weeks for the Cowichan Rugby Club’s First Division men.

Coming off a bye week when the Velox Academy couldn’t field enough players, Cowichan played the regular Velox side at the Herd Road Grounds Saturday and was beaten 35-7.

Cowichan coach Gord McGeachy noted the Piggies didn’t play particularly well in the first half but only trailed 7-0.

Cowichan came out strong to start the second half and was rewarded with a try by Lehi Dudley, converted by Owen Wood, to tie

the score.

“But our lack of ball retention and constant struggle with our set pieces caught up with us and we gave up four fairly soft tries in the last 30 minutes,’’ noted McGeachy.

Prior to the bye, the Cowichan men travelled to Port Alberni and dropped a 20-7 decision for their first defeat of the season.

“Some poor decision-making in very trying wet weather conditions put us in a deep hole early in the first half,’’ McGeachy pointed out.

Alberni took a 20-0 lead at halftime and never looked back.

Cowichan managed a late try from Dudley, converted by Wood, in the second half but it was too little, too late.

Cowichan now has a scheduled bye this weekend so will have to wait a while for the chance to get back on track.

Meanwhile, the Cowichan women played Meralomas Saturday and got off to a great start with two tries

by Carolyn Gudmundseth and one from Rebecca Kerswell for a 15-5 lead but ended up losing 29-15.

The ‘Lomas marched the ball downfield and scored by taking advantage of some missed tackles.

“The game was very competitive and, unfortunately, we were our worst enemy letting some penalties happen,’’ noted Sherry Spence.

Gudmundseth and Laura Russell were Cowichan players of the game.

Andrew Leong

Getting grabby is a good idea for Jenner Teufel of Cowichan, as he tries to elude Josh Oden of Velox in Div. 1 men’s rugby action Saturday at the Cowichan Rugby Club. Velox won 35-7.
