Somenos area: Residents reporting cougar sightings in the vicinity of the Trans-Canada Trail Krista Siefken

News Leader Pictorial

cougar sighting on the Cowichan Valley Trail has conservation of¿cers reminding the public to immediately report sightings to the Conservation Of¿cer Service at 1-877-952-7277. John Yarnold was biking the path toward Cowichan District Hospital at about 7:45 p.m. late last week when he encountered one of the feline predators. “I was riding down the trail to meet my wife, who was riding home from the hospital,” he said. “I saw a large, brown animal that I thought was a neighbourhood dog, but it wasn’t a dog, it was a cougar.” Yarnold kept calm despite the beast’s appearance. “It looked at me; it wasn’t scared — I was scared — and I yelled at it,” he said. “It just sort of looked at me, and walked off.” Yarnold’s wife reported the sighting, he said, as did a neighbour who spotted a cougar on her front driveway, and another whose sheep was killed by one of the massive cats. “There are lots of cougars out there, so whether it was the same one, I have no idea,” said Yarnold. “I feel bad for them because they’re the young ones who’ve been kicked out of the den by mom, and are looking for food.” Several Cowichanians were also reporting a cougar sighting on the trail near Duncan on Facebook Wednesday afternoon. Cowichan Secondary School parents had received the following warning: “Cougar sighting in Duncan on Cowichan Valley Trail near Sherman and Lake Cowichan Road entrances. Worried about kids walking home from school that use this trail. Pass on the info please. Be careful!” News Leader Pictorial Facebook friend Toni Branscombe reported a police helicopter Àying over the area for about an hour Wednesday. “I live by Drinkwater School, they were up there long before school got out. Friends were warned by residents of Somenos Road over a week ago about a massive cougar sighted on the trail,” she said. The Conservation Of¿cer Service advised caution when contacted on Wednesday afternoon. “There are cougars generally in the area farther up the trail, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that a cougar came down that way,” conservation of¿cer Scott Norris said. “But if people do sight a cougar, we hope they’re reporting it to our RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) line.” more on A6

Advertisement No. 5 of 6 Anti-Idling Bylaw Enforcement Begins January 1, 2012 Learn the facts about idling

Our Children and Grandchildren Will Thank Us City of Duncan Anti-idling Bylaw comes into force on January 1, 2012 How well do you know the facts about idling? 1.

Idling wastes fuel and money. True or false? TRUE: Idling wastes a significant amount of money because it burns fuel but doesn't get you anywhere.

With the advanced emissions technology used in today's vehicles, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from an idling vehicle are greatly reduced. True or false FALSE: While it's true that advanced emission control technologies have succeeded in reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of nitrogen (NOX), – which can contribute to air quality problems – emission control systems do not reduce carbon dioxide (CO2).

Idling contributes to the climate change problem. True or false? TRUE: Carbon dioxide (CO2) – the principle greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change – is classified as a greenhouse gas because it increases the earth's natural "greenhouse effect" and in doing so is altering the world's climate. Therefore, every time you start the engine, you're contributing to climate change.

Using a block heater helps an engine warm up quickly, which means less fuel consumption. True or false? TRUE: You can help reduce the impact of cold starts – and reduce idling times – by using a block heater on cold winter days.

You should turn your vehicle off when caught either in stop-and-go traffic or at a long stoplight. True or false? FALSE: The 60-second rule is a good one but remember, you can't avoid some idling. Turning off your vehicle in these situations is a safety hazard.

Idling is a problem only in winter. True or false? FALSE: Idling is a problem year-round. The problem is worse in winter, but there's never a good time to waste fuel and generate greenhouse gas emissions by idling your vehicle.

If you are going to be stopped for more than 60 seconds, turning the engine off saves money. TRUE: If you turn the engine off for more than 60 seconds you should be saving money. The break-even point to offset any potential incremental maintenance costs due to wear and tear on the starter and battery is under 60 seconds.

A poorly tuned engine, whether you're driving a vehicle down the road or letting it idle, uses up to 15 percent more fuel than a well-tuned vehicle. True or false? TRUE: A poorly tuned engine will consume more fuel – and generate more greenhouse gas emissions – than one that you properly maintain.

Directors approve townhouse project with conditions Rezoning granted: Decision seems to pave the way for new Mill Bay Marina Krista Siefken

News Leader Pictorial

he Mill Bay Marina project appears to be ¿rmly anchored now that Cowichan Valley Regional District directors are moving forward with rezoning to allow an accompanying townhouse development. It’s actually the second time the project has been at this stage. CVRD directors gave third reading to the rezoning application earlier this year, then sent the matter back to public hearing — due to concerns of a possible procedural error — before approving third reading for a second time on Wednesday. The project aims to replace and expand the marina, destroyed in a spring 2010 storm, with funds from a 14-home townhouse development on the waterfront property. The majority of CVRD directors were in favour of rezoning the property to allow the townhouse development, but attached some conditions during Wednesday’s approval. Those include: a registered

covenant that ensures the marina’s parking area is used for a parking lot only, and will not be otherwise developed; Ministry of Transportation guidelines must be met on Handy and Mill Bay roads; heritage interpretations are incorporated into the design and construction of the property’s waterfront walkway; the marina be substantially completed, with moorage for 41 or more boats, prior to construction of the townhomes; the Handy Road boat launch be constructed, or security be posted to ensure construction, prior to townhouse construction; lighting at the marina and townhouse sites be down-lit to avoid light pollution; and a meeting will be arranged with all relevant parties to discuss extending the ¿re protection boundary beyond the high-water mark. “This is what had been agreed to previously, and basically we’re just ensuring it’s all reinstated and re-implemented, should zoning be approved by the board,” Mill Bay Director Brian Harrison explained. “We’re pleased that the project seems to be moving forward,” said Duane Shaw, managing director of the project. “And we’re looking

ill Bay Director Brian Harrison has con¿rmed he will not seek re-election in the Cowichan Valley Regional District Nov. 19 vote. Harrison, who served as director for ¿ve non-consecutive terms, announced his decision yesterday. “In a growing area such as Mill Bay, I’ve found it increasingly dif¿cult to meet the responsibilities

of the assignment, and still allow time to meet my family commitments and pursue other obligations and interests,” he said. “I’ve really quite enjoyed it, but because of the number of issues in the south Cowichan area, it’s an extremely time-consuming position, and it just doesn’t leave time for other commitments.” Harrison’s decision leaves the seat open for declared candidates such as former director Mike Walker and CT Group member Angela Auchincloss, plus any others who come forward before the Oct. 14 candidacy deadline. Harrison, meanwhile, said he’s pleased with the

creation of the South Cowichan Of¿cial Community Plan during his last term — “I think we’ve created a south Cowichan growth plan that lays out very clearly where growth would occur, and helps ensure the infrastructure would be in place to have this Brian Harrison: will miss job happen” — and praised the hard work of the Mill Bay Area Planning Committee and PParks Committee. k C itt “I would have liked to see us move closer toward

incorporation,” added Harrison, “or at least a new governance model for Mill Bay and the south Cowichan area, because while the CVRD serves us well in some areas, it’s unable to dedicate the resources, nor does it have the mandate, to make decisions that a municipal-style government would permit.” Still, Harrison said overall he’s enjoyed his time in of¿ce. “The only reason I’m not carrying on is the time commitment,” he said. “It requires full time, which I gave it, and I will work hard at this until the last day of my term, right to the last minute.”

North Cowichan Director Dave Haywood expressed his dismay that constituents in North Cowichan were not being consulted when all 15 directors have spent so much time on the proposal and all CVRD residents will be paying Dave Haywood: dismayed for it. “Only three (communities) are then entitled to express a vote on this very important issue that’s consumed hundreds of hours of my time too,” Haywood said. “This, by far, is the most important thing the board has done this term. This is a decision that should be made by this board.” Saltair Director Mel Dorey reminded Haywood the referendum is non-binding, and that in the end, “a decision will be made by the 15 (directors), not by the three communities.” Directors, however, acknowledged voter rejection of the proposal would have a huge effect on the ¿nal call. “We’d actually be wrong, that’s it, and that has to be recognized,” Youbou Director Klaus Kuhn said. The board also said yay to the RSC’s recommendation a communications strategy be developed to inform residents about the details of the vote and the project. Cost of the facility, designed primarily to expand recycling operations in the south end in a convenient, central location, is estimated at $2.5 million to $3 million, including land and studies. The entire region would pay for its construction and operation, just as existing waste transfer facilities at Peerless Road, Bings Creek and Meade Creek are also being paid for by all. The ECO Depot has met vocal opposition from residents, who say it is unsuited to the neighbourhood and contrary to zoning regulations. Opponent Joseph Gollner said a lawsuit launched to prevent construction was scheduled to get its ¿rst hearing yesterday morning.

New Hydro meters leave many smarting Concerned citizens lobby CVRD about Smart Meter installation: Cowichan ofﬁcials waiting to consult with other communities before making any moves Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

he Cowichan Valley Regional District is holding tight on hashing out whether it’s pro or antiSmart Meters until a Sept. 26 Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention. Directors heard arguments for and against the controversial BC Hydro devices at Wednesday’s board meeting. Environmental consultant Kyla Mortil called on the CVRD to demand the province put a freeze on the program. “I have tested for, and studied the effects of, electromagnetic frequencies and many serious problems have been reported, regardless of the location and brand,” she said, listing a whack of negative implications from the high-tech meters including privacy invasion, damage to household appliances, a risk of ¿res on top of health risks from radio frequencies, as well as increased utility bills. “We have a choice to have Wi-Fi in our home, and so far, we w don’t have a choice to have Smart Meters in our homes,” Mortil said.

What to do if you encounter a cougar: â&#x20AC;˘ Stay calm and keep the cougar in view. Pick up children immediately â&#x20AC;&#x201D; children frighten easily; the noise and movements they make could provoke an attack. â&#x20AC;˘ Back away slowly, ensuring that the animal has a clear avenue of escape. Make yourself look as large as possible. Keep the cougar in front of you at all times. â&#x20AC;˘ Never run or turn your back on a cougar. Sudden movement may provoke an attack. â&#x20AC;˘ If a cougar shows interest or follows you, respond aggressively. Maintain eye contact with the cougar, show your teeth and make loud noise. â&#x20AC;˘ Arm yourself with rocks or sticks as weapons. Crouch down as little as possible when bending down to pick up things off of the ground. â&#x20AC;˘ If a cougar attacks, ďŹ ght back. Convince the cougar you are a threat and not prey. Use anything you can as a weapon. Focus your attack on the cougarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face and eyes.

ddressing a housing shortage and environmental concerns is the aim of a sewage-system partnership between North Cowichan and Penelakut Tribe. The Tsussie Indian Reserve No. 6 Community Sanitary Sewer Service will connect up to 45 residences on the reserve to the Crofton Sewage Treatment Place. Work on the $2.2.-million project is currently underway, with the system expected to be operational by the end of November. About 22 homes will be immediately connected, which means the band will now have the infrastructure to build another 20odd homes on the reserve. “In our struggle to improve conditions in our communities for our people, it has been a pleasure to make great strides in Tsussie,” Penelakut Chief Earl Jack said in a previous statement. Tsussie’s existing septic systems are failing — a danger to the health and safety of residents, as well as the adjacent aquifer. “The Penelakut want to build more houses

Penelakut Tribe Chief Earl Jack, left, and North Cowichan Mayor Tom Walker celebrate construction of the Tsussie I.R. No. 6 Community Sanitary Sewer Service, which will accommodate up to 45 additional residences and allow for more Penelakut housing. but they’re on top of an aquifer and not far from a river, and raw sewage is seeping up to the ground surface,” said Walker. Jack had approached North Cowichan a few years ago in search of solutions, knowing the Crofton system was nearby, and since then the two governments have worked together. Project consultant Elizabeth Lau of engineering

¿rm Genivar said construction includes raising the road to just above the hightide level — about .3 to .5 metres — which will also help prevent the Àooding typical in the area between November and spring. Driveways that no longer meet the road due to construction will be ¿lled in as part of the project. Aboriginal and Northern Affairs Canada provided the funds for design and

construction, and the project dovetailed with North Cowichan’s plan to upgrade the treatment plant to accommodate future demands on the system. “But this is a Penelakut project,” Walker emphasized. “North Cowichan has just enabled it. Mostly, this is about relationshipbuilding between the First Nations and North Cowichan.”

It’s time to get square with the Hughes legacy Capital idea: Time to give city square a proper name and artistic centrepiece

ewsroom debate isn’t always about exciting things like which local politician spends the most time in the local pub, or whether Phil Kent looks good in his latest tie. Sometimes it’s about more mundane questions, like whether “Duncan city square” is worthy of those capital letters journalists reserve for that most elite category of words and phrases: the proper noun. Fortunately, sometimes those obscure debates lead to unforeseen conclusions. Among them is our recent concluStep up and sion that Duncan city square should be renamed E.J. Hughes Square, and that add to our long-awaited E.J. Hughes statue be cultural ambi- the expedited and installed as the square’s centrepiece. ence Nobody does city squares like the cities of old Europe. Duncan is desperately searching for ways to create the sidewalk arts and cultural ambience of old Europe. And the ubiquitous presence of public art in gathering spaces is central to that ambience. Even a journalist’s little brain can connect those dots. Making Hughes the focal point of that square is a natural. It’s taken some time, but we think local of¿cials have ¿nally come to understand the stature Hughes has as one of our country’s artistic greats. It’s time the community capitalizes on the marketing opportunity that stature represents. More importantly, it is time we salute Hughes’ genius and the lasting contribution his interpretations of our landscapes has made to Canadian culture. Let’s reach for something higher this time. E.J. Hughes Square is a title certainly worthy of an all-caps journalistic salute. Moreover, it’s a backdrop that would make Kent — or any politician — look good, no matter what the tie looks like.

Seeing both sides of: ECO Depot vote parameters The case against

The case for The South Cowichan ECO Depot is a facility located in south Cowichan to serve the residents of the south Cowichan area. A decision about where it should be located should be guided by south Cowichan residents. Opening it up to the entire region would only exacerbate pre-existing notions this is about ramming a project through against the wishes of south Cowichan residents.

People need choice between paper and plastic Patrick Hrushowy

isposable plastic, paper or reusable plastic — which will it be? Thrifty Foods, one of the ¿rst grocery chains in B.C. to eliminate disposable plastic grocery bags, is having second thoughts. It is asking customers if they want to have the option of disposable plastic “Not all reusable again. As a service to the cloth bags are community, and to equal.” assist Thrifty Foods (although they never asked us for help), I offer the following information gleaned from research done by the online magazine Use Less Stuff.

directly, or as letters to the editor. First, a declaration of where I stand on the matter. After some initial grumbling on my part I went through a behavioural adjustment. I always have several reusable tote bags in my vehicle, and almost always remember to take one or more with me into the store. It did take me a while, however, to realize an occasional trip through the laundry would be a good idea as my reusables began to take on unpleasant odours. This lead to the discovery that not all reusable cloth bags are equal, as some don’t stand up well to the rigours of the washing machine. I also found I was almost instantly without plastic bags to put into the kitchen garbage can. The answer, of course, was to purchase plastic bags designed for that purpose. Therefore, I am still sending disposable plastic bags into our local garbage and waste collection stream — although at a much-reduced rate. While I am fairly good at remembering the re-

We saw the hurt feelings and the lingering resentment created when Chemainus residents were pulled into paying for Cowichan Aquatic Centre despite overwhelming resistance to the idea from that community. Imagine how they will feel when they learn they will be paying for a south Cowichan facility they won’t use without ever being asked their opinion on the matter.

AN EXPERIMENT OF ONE

usable bags, there are times I forget and I walk away from Thrifty Foods with one or more paper bags. Since I have virtually no alternative use for paper bags, I have a growing collection I will eventually dump in the recycling bin when I run out of room. Here is what the growing body of science says about grocery bag options: • There is little or no environmental bene¿t from switching from disposable plastic to paper. • It takes a whole lot more energy to manufacture and recycle paper than plastic. In a municipal land¿ll, paper takes just as long to decompose as plastic. • Paper bags generate 70 per cent more air, and 50 times more water pollutants than plastic bags. • While environmentalists are concerned plastic is made from non-renewable natural gas, paper bags use a whole lot of trees. As you might have guessed, after just three uses, reusable tote bags are superior to all types

of disposable bags across all signi¿cant environmental indicators. When retail outlets began offering reusable tote bags to their customers there were concerns from health authorities that these bags tested high for levels of lead. It turned out the lead was from the ink used by some in labelling the bags, a problem that is sorted out now. From the above evidence it would appear Thrifty Foods should at least give customers the option of disposable plastic bags. “Will that be paper or plastic?” as they used to ask. I’m going to keep using my reusable tote bags; I just think it is a good idea. And, if I forget my bags, I will ask for plastic. Patrick Hrushowy writes every Friday in the News Leader Pictorial.

Boundaries drawn around ECO Depot look arbitrary from here

Dear editor First the CVRD drew a one-kilometre line in the sand around those who were allowed to comment on the ECO Depot and ordered anyone outside that circle of privilege to leave all relevant meetings.

Accept the HST result, move on to helping build a better system

Dear editor When Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup ¿nals ended, the players accepted the outcome. It was the non-players, the hangers-on and the wannabes who couldn’t. They followed up not by trying to improve the situation but by rioting in the streets. In like vein, B.C. Liberal apologists don’t accept the outcome of the HST referendum, making things worse by exaggerating the effect of B.C. returning to a provincial sales tax model. Tom Fletcher’s Aug. 31 column is an example. Instead of wailing like Stanley Cup rioters, Fletcher and others should welcome an opportunity to build a new taxation system that provides for a fair balance in the sources for government revenues. Let us take Alberta’s lead on provincial sales taxes — eliminate them. These are regressive taxes that place a disproportionate burden on those with lower income. They must spend all of their income to buy the necessities of life, being effectively taxed on almost all their income. Like Alberta, B.C. should eliminate the poll tax of MSP premiums that places an unfair burden on two constituencies; large employers who pay premiums for employees and employees of small businesses who must pay their own. Establish a fair tax system in which individuals pay suf¿cient income tax progressively, based on income, and businesses pay their fair share of taxes. British Columbians will bene¿t from a more civil society, one that does not promote irrational responses, whether they be in reaction to the loss of a hockey game or the lost of an unfair tax.

he south Cowichan property tax system needs to be revisited. I have been listening to people on the streets that feel the same way as I do. We are simply over taxed for having very little services. We currently pay two taxes: one for our area and the other to the CVRD. I pay Area B $1,900 per year. That sounds reasonable with something you would see in, say, Langford. But they have all the amenities, swimming pools, arenas, street lighting, bus stops and garbage pickup included in their taxes. I also pay $2,000 to the CVRD for hospitals etc. for whopping total of $ $3,900 per year. On my street we have no water, no sewers, no street lighting, no bus route and we pay extra for garbage and recycling. According to the yellow pamphlet from the CVRD that breaks down our taxes, I pay $512 per year for the Kerry Park arena and $212 for the Shawnigan Lake Community Centre. Those were just the big items. Then I pay $160 for the CVRD planning department and $85 for transit that doesn’t even come down our street. Area B residents also pay into six different parks functions: community, regional, sub-regional, south Cowichan community, acquisition, and parks and trails. For me its a total of $330 per year for parks, parks, parks, parks. I could go on but you see my point. The recent referendum on building a new swimming pool and arena was shot down simply because our taxes would go up so much people were not wanting to take on that much more. I am all for a swimming pool and another sheet of ice but we are taxed to death. I cannot see residents getting together to pay for it. The public has spoken. I bring this topic up so we might engage in open conversation about how can we reduce our taxes. We all know the real estate market is not as brisk as it was, so that means tax assessments will need to reÀect market conditions. If that happens, home assessments will be reduced. If property assessments go down and the CVRD bring in less funds will it up the mill rate to continue to bring in the same level of revenue? It’s a no-win situation for property owners. How do we spread the taxes so we can live comfortably and build a new arena and swimming pool in the future? Perhaps the CVRD can do what Langford did and encourage more development (and not just in the village core) to increase our tax base. More people, less taxes, simple concept. If we want to move forward we need to ¿nd ways that will make us grow but still keep a rural feel, lower our taxes and get us the amenities we are lacking. I don’t claim to have the answers but we need to address this problem. If it means the south end forming its own municipality is the answer, lets hear from you. Let’s start talking.

onvicted killer Rachel Kleven’s day-parole privileges have been revoked. Kleven, 35, was originally incarcerated after her seconddegree murder conviction for the death of Rhonda Haynes. Haynes was killed at her Cobble Hill home on Jan. 29, 1995, after her son Keith, and his then-girlfriend Kleven, bashed her in the head with a frying pan, then set her bed sheets on ¿re using gasoline.

Her son was convicted of ¿rst-degree murder and continues to serve a life sentence in Nova Scotia. Kleven, meanwhile, was convicted of second-degree murder, and in 2006 was granted day parole. Since then, she’s been living in a New Westminster halfway house and working various jobs. But on Aug. 24, Kleven’s day-parole privileges were revoked by the National Parole Board of Canada. “(Your case management team) note an extensive period of deception, and that through your actions you have demonstrated a willingness to lie and mislead others into think-

ing that you are doing well when you really were not,” the parole document reads. While on day-parole, Kleven purchased illegal drugs, and stole from her employer to fund her heroin addiction, which Kleven told the board began “to cope with ongoing emotional distress that arose after the sudden death of (her) dog in March 2008.” The parole board document also notes “that at no time during the hearing, despite four victim impact statements being read, did (Kleven) express remorse for the victim or her family members.”

ity taxpayers are poised to spend some $270,000 on a new vacuum truck to clean debris from Duncan’s storm drains and sewer lines. Mayor Phil Kent said city hall’s seeking bids for a Vactor rig to replace longtime duty done by public works’ street sweeper. “Staff needs the right tools,” he said of the dreck-and-twig rig that could arrive

by late fall. “This will reduce use of the sweeper that gets way too much use.” The Vactor would also see action during city excavation work, and in swabbing service lines in the 17 kilometres of roadways in Duncan’s two square kilometres, Kent explained. Council may debate renting out its Vactor truck to other local governments, Councillor Paul Fletcher noted.

THE BIG EVENT

Local schools clean up in annual recycling competition Eleven ambitious elementary students and their teachers collected close to 192,000 containers and earned prize money from Encorp’s B.C. School Recycling Program last year. Thetis Island not only won its enrolment category of 1 to 150 students, it beat all other elementary schools in B.C. “The students and teachers earned a whop-

ping $17,539 for their school from recycling containers,” Sandy Sigmund, Encorp Paciﬁc’s chief marketing ofﬁcer, said in a press release. “This combined with the prize money made a grand total of $18,289 to go toward school programs and equipment.” Honourable mention went to Chemainus Secondary School for collecting 67,081 con-

tainers and earning $4,658.65 in deposits. Encorp’s B.C. School Recycling Program provides schools with the tools and resources to make recycling easy, convenient and proﬁtable. Schools keep 100 per cent of the deposit refunds for each container collected, and the program costs the schools nothing.

Trooper still here for a good time The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car: Canada’s premier ‘70s party band still cranking out the good time rock’n’roll News Leader Pictorial

hat amazes Trooper frontman Ra McGuire most is that even young fans know the lyrics to his band’s many

monster hits. “Kids between 15 and 25 years old know all the words to Here For A Good Time, Raise A Little Hell, and The Boys In the Bright White Sports Car — and they weren’t alive when those songs were written,” the singer said. Cowichanians can rock along to those and other pearls by Trooper, arguably Canada’s premier party band, when McGuire and the guys hit Cowichan Theatre’s stage Tuesday. Trooper’s current national tour is boosted by Canuck country-torch Terri Clark, gaining top ratings for her take on Here For A Good Time, plus brisk sales of the band’s fresh CD collection of Hits From 10 Albums. That disc toasts Trooper’s 35th anniversary as McGuire, and group co-founder/ guitarist Brian (Smitty) Smith, remain road soldiers with bassist Scott Brown, piano man Gogo, and drummer Clayton Hill. Since forming in 1975, Trooper’s done thousands of shows, the affable McGuire, 61, told the News Leader Pictorial. “Now we’re doing about 50 shows a year — ¿ve years ago it was 100 a year.” But Trooper rarely plays outside Canada. “We were in the Caribbean, Barcelona and San Diego this year, but we played to Canadians there so when we do get out of this country, we’re still playing to our compatriots.”

McGuire’s favourite tunes to play live are Thin White Line (“because I do it a bit different every night”); opening with Here For A Good Time (“I love the moment when the audience comes alive”); and Raise A Little Hell (“by that time, everyone’s up and running hard.”) McGuire’s amped about Trooper’s new platter of remastered hits. “I was never happy with (their ¿rst greatest hits record) Hot Shots. It’s one of our ¿rst vinyls put out on CD but they didn’t really nail the transition very well.” But the band nails songs its way during live shows. “How could you not get a buzz from doing this?” he asked of his rock job. “This is just an astonishing gig. “We play to 30,000 people, and some shows are 300 people, but they’re all just going.” Trooper does pen new songs “but not with any particular intent — we write for the joy of it.” Some joy comes from occasional royalties the band gets from Sony, owner of publishing rights to Trooper’s tunes, he explained. Still, McGuire, Smith and the boys have a hoot playing to loyal fans — including valley folks who last heard Trooper at SUNFest 2005, and in the Galaxy Cabaret back in around 2004. On the Leader’s suggestion of granting the patriotic rockers an Order of Canada, McGuire urged Prime Minister Stephen Harper to bring it on. “He could bring it to our show,” he joked.

DEATHS

GORDON, H. Glen Lieutenant Commander (ret) Nov 22, 1918 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sept 12, 2011 Glen passed away peacefully Monday morning in the comfort of home, surrounded by love. Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Glen was the eldest son in a family of ďŹ ve. He is predeceased by his parents and siblings and survived by his devoted wife Dorothy (nee Mills), children Heather (Rick), Julia, Peter (Liz), Miriam (Chris), Geoff (Kelly) and Jan (Brian), grandchildren Jason, Patrick, Matthew, Keira, Siobhan, Alexandra and Brittany, great grand children Emerson, Clara and Ronan and his many nieces and nephews. Glen grew up on the prairies during the Great Depression. He attended the University of Saskatchewan where he graduated with a degree in Commerce. Duty called, and Glen was stationed in the Maritimes and later overseas. He rose to the rank of Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Canadian Navy, serving as a Corsair pilot in the 759 Airborne Fleet Air Arm during World War II. It was during ofďŹ cer training in Kingston that he met his bride-to-be, Dorothy Mills. This, he would say, is when life really began. They married in 1947 and settled in Ontario Ottawa, Lindsay, Toronto and Guelph. Summers were enoyed in Southampton and on the Bruce penninsula, his ancestral home. Glen enjoyed a distinguished post-war career in government and ďŹ nancial services. During his working years, he was deeply involved in church and community service clubs. He was a 32nd degree Mason and a Rotarian for nearly sixty years. He was an accomplished musician and artist. He was an avid reader, tennis player and gardener. A proud man, he was blessed with a gracious bearing and engaging wit. His love for his wife and children was boundless. In retirement, he and Dorothy relocated to the beautiful Cowichan Valley, their home since 1989. Family would like to thank the many friends and helpers who have been so supportive over the years, in particular, Dr. Murray Woods. No service or ďŹ&#x201A;owers by request. Donations may be made to the charity of your choice. A celebration in honour of Glenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life may be held at a later date. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacebc.com

BEKETOV, Barbara Anna (Thorpe, Strandberg) Sept. 18, 1931-Sept. 12, 2011 Went home to be with her Lord and Saviour on Monday, Sept 12. She passed away peacefully in her sleep, freed at last from her long and valiant battle with cancer. Anna was born in Toronto, Ontario, on September 18, 1931, to Nicholas and Katherine Beketov (nee Collison). In 1942 the family moved to Victoria, B.C. Where she attended Willows School, then Oak Bay High School. After Anna's graduation, the family moved to Prince Rupert, B.C. where her father had been appointed Marine Agent for the northern half of the province by the Department of Transport. While there, she met Leonard Thorpe (of Duncan) and, in 1952, after Anna had ďŹ nished Normal School, she and Len were married. She taught in Prince Rupert, and then Courtenay, where the family relocated in 1956 when Len had accepted the pastorate of Courtenay Baptist Church. In 1967 the family moved to the Cowichan Valley. Anna received her Bachelor of Education from the University of Victoria in 1978, and taught at Alex Aitken, Maple Bay, and Mount Prevost (23 years) Schools. Near the end of her career, Anna was appointed by the Ministry of Education to serve on an External Evaluation Team for two consecutive years. Following retirement, she supervised student teachers for the University of Victoria for 8 years. She was also on the inaugural board of Island Oak High School. As an accomplished sailor, she enjoyed many wonderful days cruising the west coast waters with numerous friends and family. Her interest in theatre led to an involvement with the January Players, and then the Mercury Theatre, both as a board member and an actor in several plays. She also was Production Manager for 6 Cowichan Musical Society productions. Anna served the community on the board of the Cowichan Valley Basket Society, spending many hours weekly as Hamper Coordinator for 12 years, before she was struck by cancer in November 2008. During her retirement Anna also enjoyed travelling to the Mediterranean, South America, Japan, Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, Spain, and the British Isles. Anna had a strong and abiding Christian faith, and was active in service in the Christian Community all her adult life. Anna is survived by four sons: Roland, Timothy, Daniel, and Andrew (Shelley), and two granddaughters: Terese and Nicola Thorpe, her sister Nadia Brockett (Stuart) , their family in the U.K., and her brother, Paul Beketov, of Nanaimo. The family would like to thank Dr. Deana Robertson for the dedicated care that she provided Anna. A Celebration of Annaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at the New Life Baptist Church, 1839 Tzouhalem Road, Duncan BC on Saturday September 24, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Koster money in the bank on Mount Brenton golf course Men’s amateur: Repeat winner consistent with two rounds of 69 Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

he Mount Brenton Golf Course’s men’s amateur tournament has always drawn top players from around the island and beyond. While numbers have Àuctuated recently, a solid turnout of 189 for this year’s event Saturday and Sunday created a highly competitive ¿eld. That was just sort of the maximum of 210. “We’ve been running around 180 the last few years,’’ said Ken Norman, co-chair of the tournament alongside Jody Grif¿ths. Several players attended from the Lower Mainland and as far as Williams Lake. An Australian and a resident

of New Mexico were even among the participants. In the end, Greg Koster from Courtenay’s Crown Isle emerged as the low gross champion with a 36-hole total of 138. He shot 69 both days. Tyler VanAnrooy, also of Crown Isle, was the runnerup at 142 with a 70 Saturday and a 72 Sunday. Dustin Pewarchuk of Royal Colwood and Mount Brenton’s Dustin Yeager both checked in at 143. Pewarchuk had rounds of 72 and 71 while Yeager opened with a 70 but ¿nished three shots higher in the second round. Bill Parker (70-74—144), Aaron Cramb (72-72—144), Phil Ashton of Mount Brenton (74-71—145), Frank Bayuk (77-70—147), Jay Ban¿eld of Squamish (7572—147), Will Parker (74-

73—147), Matt Powell of Squamish (74-73—147) and Sandy Harper of Nanaimo (72-75—147) rounded out the top 10 and ties. Shane Gorrill of Mount Brenton had the low net of 131 followed by Larry So (132), Steve Barz and Chad Little (both at 135) and Mount Brenton’s Butch Caskenette and John Sedola at 136 and 137, respectively. Three different hole-in-one prizes were offered, but no one could cash in. “We had beautiful weather,’’ added Norman. “It seemed to turn out quite pleasantly. “It was pretty warm Saturday and Sunday afternoon. A little breeze came up Saturday afternoon which was nice. Sunday afternoon, it did get kind of warm between 11:30 and about 2.’’

Midget Bulldogs stall after game delayed Group huddle: Other two Cowichan teams victorious Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

long delay to the start of their Vancouver Mainland Football League game didn’t seem to affect the Cowichan Midget Bulldogs at ¿rst. The Bulldogs and Chilliwack Giants were supposed to get under way at 3 p.m. Sunday at McAdam Park. But the Giants’ bus broke down on the way to the ferry and they had to scramble to make alternate plans. By the time the Giants arrived, the game didn’t start until 4:30. Robert Storie made two key tackles on the ¿rst series to spark the Bulldogs’ defence. The offense then took the ¿eld and struck immediately, with quarterback Ryan MacDonald ¿ring a pass behind the line of scrimmage to Harry Bill, who in turn hit a wide-open Blake Torok-Both for a touchdown play covering 55 yards. Ironically, that turned out to be the only Bulldogs’ scoring play as the Giants slowly shook off the affects of the long travel day and won 35-7. “We held our own in the ¿rst half against a very good team but mistakes and key injuries diminished our chances in the end,’’ noted Cowichan head coach Joe Lobo. Key players out of action for the game were captains J.Q. Lobo and Brady Radcliffe. The defence came up big in the ¿rst quarter, with middle linebacker Storie and defensive end Adam Marchetti leading the way. The offense later in the game showed Àashes of moving the ball

well thanks to the running of Terrence Jones and Wyatt MacWatt. But the Bulldogs couldn’t ¿nish any drives, mainly due to untimely miscues on critical downs. “Everyone’s going through some growing pains right now and it can only get better,’’ summed up Joe Lobo. • The Cowichan Bantam Bulldogs made it two wins in a row by hanging on to beat the North Surrey Panthers 35-30. “They are a lot better team than last year,’’ said Cowichan coach Doug Williams. “Last year they were in last place.’’ Cowichan came out strong and vaulted into a 14-2 lead at the half. Drayson Price broke a power 65 yards for a touchdown and Eric (Wheels) Williams returned a punt 70 yards for a TD. Interceptions from Brandon St. Clair, Eddy Walt and Clayton Key sparked the Cowichan defence. Unfortunately, Key’s 70-yard return was called back on a penalty. “Penalties hurt us on Sunday,’’ said Doug Williams. “We had 165 yards in penalties, 45 on one series in the fourth quarter.’’ The Panthers scored on the latter Cowichan sequence of penalties and almost pulled off an improbable comeback. Cowichan had the ball with 1:15 left, but the Panthers stripped it away from Price. They got down to the Cowichan 35-yard line with 20 seconds left. “So basically they had two plays and our defence held them,’’ said Williams. “I was very nervous.’’ Price rushed for 300 yards and ¿nished with three TDs. Eric Williams scored a pair of TDs and

Red Hots making move to Midget A

World championships: Ridenour and Cleary make strides in Beijing

Stepping up: The talent base seems right to take a shot at better competition Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

uncan is back in the Midget A girls’ ball game after a decade. The last team to play at that level was coached by Bruce Hale and Joe DiLalla in 2000. Following a great season of Midget B by the Duncan Red Hots, it was decided the time is right to make a return to the Midget A ranks. “It was probably in May we thought about it,’’ said Red Hots’ coach Brian Bull. “We’d sort of talked about it a bit last year. We’ve had a good group of kids all the way along. Last year for me was a de¿ning thing.’’ “I think the talent’s there, but it’s a progression,’’ said longtime Duncan coach Stan McKinlay, who works with Bull. The move to Midget A has brought considerable help out of the woodwork. Rick Smith is going to continue assisting the pitchers while Dan Whiteford and Leanne Closson have come forward to offer their services. “The teams we’re playing out of Vancouver, we beat them, they beat us,’’ said McKinlay. “I think it’s good. It challenges them. The girls seem to play better when they’re challenged. “Now we’re going to concentrate on the next three or four years of going to stuff where kids can get exposure.’’ “My goal in all of this is to see one of these kids get a scholarship,’’ said

Bull. “For that opportunity, we were going to have to make a move.’’ Six players have been together since peewee. “I think it was time after we watched the Midget A provincials last year and what the team accomplished at the Canada Cup,’’ said Bull. “Mentally, I think we’ve got a strong group. There’s going to be growing pains, no doubt about it.’’ Bull stressed this isn’t a one-year foray, but a four-year program that will provide the same opportunity for players coming up through the system. There’s only one A program in Victoria that may give players there a chance at an alternative. “More opportunities and I think Stan’s experience is a huge thing,’’ raved Bull. “For me with Stan, I take a lot of what he says to be the truth.’’ Potential players were put through their paces during two workouts last week at Evans Park. From those sessions, players have been picked immediately to play in a tournament at Softball City this weekend that starts the process for next season. Six founding players include: Morgan Rogers, Megan Sakuma, Margaret Batchelar, Katie Lawless, Jolene Bull and Jaime Michieli. Bull is returning after spending last season with the Victoria Devils while Michieli got back into some action after a layoff. Darrian Gerard rejoins the team after a year playing in Victoria and other Nanaimo/Victoria players in the mix include Allie Pellizzaro and

fending champ Jason Montgomery of Duncan and Wes Craig of Kerry Park each collected $255 and Sarah Wark’s Duncan ladies netted $190. More than $1,800 in cash and prizes was dispersed. Despite only having six teams, “it still worked out well,’’ said organizer Craig. “Quite a few teams are heading to Cloverdale this weekend,’’ he added.

Hot corner is played perfectly by Morgan Rogers, above, during hot weather for Duncan Midget A girls’ fastpitch tryouts at Evans Park Sunday. Right, coach Brian Bull makes a point while wearing his fancy shades to shield the searing sun. Cassey van der May. More roster spots will be determined later. Overager Jenna Bugden is going with the team to Surrey to ¿ll a spot. The team plans to play in more than 60 games next season — perhaps in the 70s — with a tournament in Las Vegas in February among the highlights. Best of all, the team seems to have pitching depth with four players having the experience and ability required. “From a coaching standpoint, I could do a jig right now,’’ said Brian Bull of that luxury.

wo Cowichan Valley women turned in outstanding performances at the International Triathlon Union world championships in Beijing, China. Christine Ridenour of Cowichan Bay and Shannon Cleary of Saltair both cracked the top 10 in their respective age groups. Ridenour ¿nished ninth in the junior women’s 16- to 19-year-old event. She ¿nished the 750-metre swim, 20 km bike and ¿ve km run in 1:04:38. “I was pretty happy with it,’’ said Ridenour. “I improved my ranking from last year.’’ She placed 12th in the division during the event in Budapest, Hungary last year. “I was feeling more prepared going in,’’ said Ridenour. “I still didn’t feel I had the race of my life. It was a really challenging course. There was some good hills on the bike.’’ Wet weather required racers to be more aware. “I managed to stay up on my bike and safe,’’ said Ridenour. “It de¿nitely did change the race. You had to be really cautious on the corners.’’ The major part of her season is now done and it’s back to concentrating on classes at UVic for Ridenour. Cleary enjoyed her ¿rst world championship experience and managed to secure 10th place in the 25-29 women’s sprint category for a 750-metre swim, 21 km bike and slightly more than a ¿ve km run on a different course than Ridenour. Cleary was clocked in 1:23:11. She had the fourth fastest swim time and was ¿fth best of the ¿eld on the run. “The bike just gives me something to work on,’’ said Cleary. “I had no idea how I was going to do considering it was my ¿rst time.’’ Cleary said she had a few misadventures such as having to tie her shoelace on the run, missing where her bike was supposed to be racked and forgetting her chip at the start of the race. “I really got excited about it,’’ she said. “I think that’s why I made a lot of silly mistakes.’’

he Duncan Dynamics Gymnastics Club’s gymnasium in the former Aquannis Centre pool site is sporting a new look. The club undertook extensive renovations at the end of June and early July to build platforms over the old children’s and 25-metre pools. “The platforms were constructed over a portion of each of the pools and two foam pits were installed in the uncovered areas,’’ explained club secretary Kristin Johnson. The foam pits allow gymnasts to practice higher-level skills in a safe manner. They’ve also been a huge hit with the recreational gymnasts for the pure fun of jumping into the pits.

Dreamscapes

Imagine Life in Your Own Private Oasis. For Ray and Trisha of Duncan, their dream is now a reality. A secret garden, just minutes from downtown, this project has been a work in progress for the past two years. It’s tranquil, it’s elegant, it’s fantastic! Rod’s artistic talent blended beautifully with that of his clients to create a space that mere words can’t describe. It’s more the way you feel as you take in the massive slate rock work surrounding the pool. One look at the mosaic design of the rock ﬂoor in the granite outdoor bath has you shaking you head in disbelief. A blasted rock retainer wall runs adjacent to an outdoor stone patio and garden area. As you meander down a gently sloping slate walkway, you can’t imagine another space more beautiful. Rod’s been sharing his expertise in masonry and stone work for the past thirty years. Many would say it’s his passion. He can help you make your dream a reality. Call today for a complimentary consultation and estimate.

Journey to Chemainus to chart Pilgrimms progress

ccording to their promotional material, if you asked the Pilgrimms why they love the blues, you would probably get three different answers. But you would walk away knowing that love was undeniable.

1983: dog control

1983: parks

DATELINE: COWICHAN

by Ann Andersen

North Cowichan refused an offer to purchase 1.2 acres of land on Mary Street that was described as an ideal location for a family park. Offered at $35,000, it was bordered by Holmes Creek to the east and had numerous fruit and shade trees.

Cowichan Valley regional directors chose to negotiate a contract for dog control with the SPCA, edging a bid by North Cowichan poundkeeper Dan Hughes. The cost would be less than $100,000 annually, said CVRD chair Gerry Giles.

1983: swimming Valley masters swimmer Mary Lou Wood won the 50m free, 50m ﬂy, 400m free and 100m I.M. in the B.C. Summer Games. Swimming for Canada in the 1959 Pan American Games, she placed ﬁfth in the 200m breast stroke.

News Leader Pictorial

olunteers do it; classes of school kids do it; government supports it in several programs — many of us hold dear the concept of salmon enhancement. However, in September 1983, long-time Cowichan Valley salmon enhancement advocate Bob Kennedy was pleading with the federal government to provide permanent funding for a program to boost stocks in the Cowichan, Koksilah and Shawnigan Lake systems. At the time, the Duncan-Cowichan Chamber of Commerce — Kennedy was chairman of its ¿sheries committee — had been forced to launch a lottery to provide some funds. But that wouldn’t generate enough to cover the cost of a proper program, said Kennedy. He said temporary employment programs didn’t work because workers drifted away once the funding expired. He said what was needed was funding to employ a permanent skilled staff which would oversee two cycles of ¿sh — some eight to 10 years. A major hatchery would be the “ultimate answer,” though the chances of landing one were slim considering the economic times, said Kennedy who wanted the Cowichan Valley to reclaim its prominence as a ¿shing capital.

CT set to rock audiences with Amadeus Chemainus Theatre: Rise and fall of manic musical genius takes centre stage Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

Andrew Leong

Jeremy Crittenden, elft, is Mozart and Martin Sims is his jealous rival Antonio Salieri in Chemainus Theatre’s Amadeus.

eremy Crittenden is taken by the seeming dual personality of Mozart, the musical genius he portrays in Chemainus Theatre’s Amadeus. “I really connect with the character,” said Crittendon, 29, who depicts Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at age 26 to his late 30s. “He’s extroverted with a dirtier sense of humour, and strong convictions about how he sees the world, and creativity. “That doesn’t always jibe with the people around him.” Mozart would likely have been a riot at barbecues back in 1780s Vienna. The party animal comes alive in Peter Schaffer’s script for the Amadeus play, and the 1984 movie that brought Mozart’s life back into the modern consciousness. “Schaffer made some changes for the movie but the story line of (jealous composer) Salieri

recounting what happened to Mozart is the same.” Crittendon is emotionally drained playing the brilliant guy most folks know with “the gleeful laugh; the Àamboyance.” “But if I could go back and meet Mozart, I’d ask him how he wrote, and how compositions happened in his head — there weren’t a lot of corrections on paper. “I’d like to know how the music sounded in Mozart’s mind and how it came to him — in a Àash, did it develop over a week, or was it just magic?” Answers arrive in Schaffer’s liberties about the complex composer’s life and times, he said. The Medicine Hat native — trained at Gastown Actors’ Studio — said his research revealed Mozart’s “scatological sense of humour.” “There was an incredible mix of baseness and sophistication for the time he lived in.” Touching innocence too. “He’s like Shakespeare who wrote hundreds

www.chancescowichan.ca

of years ago but his stories and plays are still breathtaking and mystifying, and Mozart’s music is the same.” Amadeus features wigs and Norma Bowen’s period costumes, plus sections from Mozart’s masterpieces such as The Requiem Mass, and The Marriage of Figaro. Crittendon called Amadeus a life journey. “He arrives in Vienna destined for stardom. “He shoots up so fast then falls so quickly. Suddenly he’s destitute; his dad dies; his wife leaves him; he’s driven mad and he dies.” But Mozart believed in himself and chased what he wanted with incredible passion, Crittendon said. “Even if you’re not a classical music fan, you can’t help but be sucked in.” Your ticket What: Amadeus When: Sept. 16 to Oct. 22 Where: Chemainus Theatre Tickets: Call 250-246-9820.
