Record support for annual cultural walk Walk of the Nations: About 1,000 valley residents hit the streets to celebrate cultural acceptance Krista Siefken

ou rarely see the bright blue 2008 North American Indigenous Games T-shirts in Cowichan these days, but it appears the NAIG spirit is still alive and well. That’s the conclusion after a record-high turnout at Saturday’s fourth-annual Walk of the Nations. “I estimated between 800 and 1,000 people,” said Jenn George, who co-chairs the Walk with Ryan Bruce. Contributing to the record turnout, George said, was a new partnership with the Cowichan Intercultural Society. “All along, one of our main goals for the Walk was to combine the many things our

community does year-round to celebrate multiculturalism, and this year the partnership with the Cowichan Intercultural Society really ful¿lled those dreams for us,” George said. “We reached more people and got more people involved, as well as still showcasing the work that Cowichan does in terms of acceptance, understanding, reconciliation and respect.” This year’s Walk also utilized the new Vancouver Island University campus as a starting point for the trek that wrapped at the Si’em Lelum Gymnasium. And school participation was at all all-time high, with Bench Elementary School winning the school spirit title formerly held by Alexander elementary students. “It was great to have that strong youth pres-

ence,” George said. Meanwhile, Walk of the Nations planners are already turning their gaze to next year’s ¿fthannual event. “We’ve been talking as a committee about perhaps changing the time of the year for the Walk,” George explained. “We’ve always envisioned a spring or early summer walk, when people want to be outside and enjoying some sunshine — although the rain didn’t stop anybody this year — so we’ll be meeting as a committee and talking to the Intercultural Society and our other partners about a way to make that happen.” But for now, George is still reeling from Saturday’s stellar turnout. “I can’t believe it’s been four years,” she said, “and the community support we’re receiving is still so fantastic.”

C Hydro of¿cials are assuring Cowichan Valley residents that Smart Meters have not yet been installed at their homes. Spokesman Ted Olynyk con¿rmed residents of Lake Cowichan, North Cowichan, Duncan and the south end aren’t slated to receive the meters until early next year, when 31,000 Smart Meters will be installed between February and May. This is contrary to some concerns circulating the community that indicate BC Hydro has already started installing the controversial meters against people’s will. “We do have digital meters that are traditional meters — they have a digital face and have been employed by Hydro for a number of years — but we’re seeing some people confused by the digital meters, thinking they’re Smart Ted Olynyk: Meters,” Olynyk said. some confused A true Smart Meter says “OpenWay” on the device. In any event, BC Hydro will notify clients before installation of the device. “They’ll be sent a letter prior to installation that a Smart Meter will be coming, and then a person comes and knocks on the door to advise a meter is being changed, to give customers a chance to protect any sensitive electronic equipment they may have, and turn everything off.” Clients can expect one individual at the door — clearly identi¿ed as an employee of Corix, the company contracted to install the meters — and their power to be temporarily turned off. The process takes about 10 minutes in total. Olynyk also con¿rmed those who wish to delay installation of their meter have that right, although it looks like Àat-out refusing the meter is not an option. “If they choose to have a delay in the installation, we will delay installation until a later date, and we’ll make contact with the customer and address the concerns they have,” Olynyk said. more on page 5

Do your Halloween good deed in a graveyard St. John’s Anglican Adopt-a-Plot: Heritage Cobble Hill cemetery needs your restoration help Krista Siefken

News Leader Pictorial

Krista Siefken

Trisha Daniell hopes to restore all the standing gravestones at Cobble Hill’s St. John’s Anglican Church to their former glory during Saturday’s Adopt-a-Plot event.

THERE’S STILL AN INVESTMENT FIRM WHERE STAYING IN TOUCH MATTERS We’ve always believed keeping clients informed about their portfolios is critical, especially in challenging economic times. This founding principle is one reason for the continued trust clients place in us. There’s still a place where communication, stability and your satisfaction matter. There’s still Raymond James. Contact us for a complimentary review.

s Trisha Daniell steps carefully between gravestones in the idyllic cemetery, sun beams cut through the crisp autumn air, and it’s dif¿cult to imagine a locale less likely to be inhabited by ghosts and ghouls. But beware: there are ¿ends afoot. “The biggest enemies are moss and lichen,” says Daniell. “You can see it grows and crawls down the stones.” And the trees, while picturesque, cause their share of problems, too. “It’s a shaded graveyard, and the rain and damp don’t help.” But good is slated to triumph over evil on Saturday, when the folks at Cobble Hill’s St. John’s Anglican Church host their ¿rst Adopt-a-Plot event. “It would be so nice if (the gravestones) were legible again, and maintained by people who took an interest — and there’s lots of reasons for people to take an interest,” says Daniell. “Just over there are the Bonner graves. The family still uses it, of course, for recent burials, but the Bonners who started George Bonner school, he’s here, and (his wife) Vera’s right beside him. It’d be nice if a family with teenagers at Bonner were interested in maintaining those.” The Sheppards (Sheppard Road’s namesake) boast some of the oldest graves at the cemetery — one was erected in 1896. And the Nightingales — the founders of the church — can claim some of the cemetery’s more picturesque gravestones. Or, at least, they can once the stones are cleaned. “So here’s Mother (Ruth) Nightingale,” says Daniell as she points to a tall marker. “She’s been cleaned up just on one side, but these ones (nearby) haven’t been. and you can see what they all looked like

before we started scrubbing. You actually couldn’t read John Nightingale’s, and he’s the founder of the church.” Daniell ¿gures if enough families opt to adopt a plot each, there’ll be more than enough people to tackle the grimy gravestones in time for the church’s 125th anniversary next spring. “It ¿ts so nicely right before Halloween, and right before All Saints Day, which is what the church celebrates on Nov. 1,” says Daniell. “And then the veterans will be around and marking the headstones. Each one will be honoured one by one, with someone saluting them, so it’s a time of year when a cemetery should be looking its best.” An expert from the Old Cemetery Society will visit the graveyard on Saturday morning to share tips on the best ways to clean and protect gravestones. “I’m hoping families in particular will make a bit of a day of it — two days before Halloween, what could be more fun?” said Daniell, adding hot drinks and snacks will welcome the clean-up crew. “It’s the perfect time of year, when the weather is just right for coming inside for hot chocolate after you’re done.” And history buffs are encouraged to research the family history of their adopted plots. “It’s a shame to let the history just sit there,” says Daniell. “For our 125th anniversary we’re hoping to compile even more information about the people who are laid to rest here, which would be really good for community history, as well. There is a fair bit of community history here.” Your ticket What: Adopt-a-Plot cemetery clean-up When: Saturday, Oct. 29; arrive between 2 and 4 p.m. Where: St. John’s Anglican Church, 3295 Cobble Hill Rd.

Ban on Äreworks sales still in effect locally Illegal: Degree of enforcement being questioned Krista Siefken

News Leader Pictorial

¿reworks-selling business on Cowichan Tribes reserve land has ignited community concerns

about safety. It remains unclear whether Cowichan Tribes is enforcing its bylaw prohibiting the sale of ¿reworks of reserve land, as requests for information from band management have gone unanswered since Oct. 19. Concerns about the illegal sale of ¿reworks were sparked last week after a ¿reworks-selling operation at the corner of Lakes and Tzouhalem roads was assembled. The temporary out¿t, operating out of a grey shipping container, contravenes a Cowichan Tribes bylaw that prohibits the sale and use of ¿reworks. Signage initially spotted on and around the shipping container had been removed by the afternoon of Oct. 19, but it’s still unclear whether the operation

has been shut down. However, as reported previously in the NLP, Tribes’ ¿reworks bylaw was passed by chief and council in the summer of 2009. It bans the sale, possession and use of ¿reworks on all Tribes land, with violators of the bylaw liable for a ¿ne of up to $1,000. The bylaw notes ¿reworks includes “cannon crackers, ¿reballs, ¿recrackers, mines, Roman candles, sky-rockets, squibs, torpedoes, and such other explosives as may be designated as such by the Lieutenant Governor in council.” While Tribes does allow groups to host ¿reworks displays during special celebrations, permission must be obtained from Tribes’ general manager. “It’s mainly about safety,” Tribes justice co-ordinator Calvin Swustus said in a 2009 interview. “Other municipalities have been banning ¿reworks due to the danger and we appeared to be one of the only areas where people could sell ¿reworks, so we thought we’d best follow our neighbours and implement a similar bylaw.” The Cowichan Valley Regional District, North Cowichan and Duncan have similar bylaws.

Hydro says Cowichan residents will eventually have to accept meters from page 1

Fireworks displays are only allowed by special permit throughout Cowichan.

“We’ve had people who have said they don’t want a Smart Meter installed, but after we’ve gone back and addressed their concerns and dealt with them one-on-one, people are eventually comfortable with the idea of having a Smart Meter, and are reassured.” But what if they absolutely refuse the contentious meter? “We don’t believe it’ll get to that point,” Olynyk answered. “We believe people will feel comfortable with the Smart Meter once we’ve addressed their concerns.” There have been a variety of concerns about Smart Meters, from health and security risks to costs. Local governments, such as the Cowichan Valley Regional District, have even called for a moratorium on Smart Meters until more research has been done. But Olynyk reiterated Smart Meters will allow BC Hydro to keep rates low — B.C.’s are the third-lowest in North America — and will save customers up to 15 per cent on their electricity bills. They’ll also communicate outages to Hydro staff immediately, and allow families to directly monitor their energy consumption to see the difference made by switching off lights, or unplugging various electronic devices. Olynyk also addressed concerns that suggest BC Hydro would use the meters to impose higher rates for peak consumption times. “We will not be adopting time-of-use rates as we have enough electricity,” he said, “and do not need those rates to stimulate energy conservation.”

FIREWORKS REGULATIONS This is what makes the Cameron Taggart site the perfect place for the Eco Depot, and a big part of helping our region get to Zero Waste:

SALE OF FIREWORKS PROHIBITED

It’s on your way.

It’s low impact.

DISCHARGE OF FIREWORKS PROHIBITED

You’ll save time and gas by not having to drive up to one-hour round-trip to Bings Creek. Instead, the Cameron Taggart site can make recycling easy and a part of your regular routine.

The Eco Depot will be built on 2.5 acres of rocky land that is not in the ALR, and not suitable for growing. It will be nestled within the forest, and buffered by the existing landscape.

It’s better for the environment. The Cameron Taggart site is central to South Cowichan’s 16,000+ residents, which means less driving, less greenhouse gases, less illegal dumping and backyard burning.

It’s the new, green way. The Eco Depot is a newstyle residential recycling collection facility that communities across the country are moving towards to meet their “zero waste” goals. No materials will be processed at the site.

It will be battle on the north shore of Cowichan Lake Kuhn versus Weaver: Former Lake Cowichan town councillor takes on incumbent for the Youbou seat at the CVRD board table Tyler Clarke

News Leader Pictorial

t least Youbou is giving Cowichan Lake area voters something to chew on this Nov. 19. Sparing the Cowichan Lake area an uncontested Nov. 19 election, Pat Weaver is running against incumbent director Klaus Kuhn for the Youbou/Meade Creek (Area I) director’s seat. Cowichan Lake South/Skutz Falls Director Ian Morrison and the entire Lake Cowichan council (see page 8) are in by acclamation. “I thought of it four years ago during the last election, then decided to run in the town,” Weaver, a former Lake Cowichan councillor said. Sparking her decision to run is what she perceives as a lack of proper representation at the Cowichan Valley Regional District board table. “I don’t think we have enough representation from Area I,” she said. “I think we need a stronger voice at the table.” Asked to eleborate, Weaver sighed and said she didn’t want to run a smear campaign against her

opponent. After a pause, she added, “You have to sit at the table and be accountable for your community.” Near the top of Weaver’s list of priorities is dealing with w various issues surrounding Cowichan Lake r Klaus Kuhn: and the local watershed. incumbent A board member of the Cowichan Lake and River Stewardship Society, she’s been keeping up to date on watershed issues. “I think it’s time we ¿nd a way to prevent the sewage from going into the lake,” she said, of the area’s out-dated septic systems. She’s not sure how multimillion dollar sewer systems will be afforded, though it’s well worth looking into, she said. Kuhn, meanwhile, has similar interests, having helped

form the Stewardship Society. “I’m going to ¿ght for our lake,” he said. “The lake, I think, is our biggest asset. It needs to be protected. There’s relentless pressure from users and people clearing the lakeshore.” Kuhn recently had his reso- Pat Weaver: lution endorsed by the Union challenger of B.C. Municipalities, which would serve to encourage the provincial government to give the regional district and municipalities more assistance in addressing various watershed issues. “We need the funding, and we need the legal clout,” he said. On this issue the candidates appear to be on the same page. “We need to get more regulations out. The bylaws are there, but we have to enforce them.” Another major issue in the area is with regard to the

lack of jobs. Weaver hopes the Youbou Lands development will create loads of employment for local people. “My opponent thinks that these jobs will come from out of town,” she alleges. “We have people in the Cowichan Lake area that can ¿ll those jobs.” j Kuhn said this simply isn’t true; developers have h promised to look at hiring Cowichan Lake area people ¿rst and foremost. “That’s what the developers said; that they’ll employ local people,” he said. Kuhn said he understands where Weaver comes from, in that previous experience with developers’ promises haven’t always panned out. An example comes to mind with the Creekside development. “There will probably be more people required than locally available,” he said, re-stating it’s been promised locals will be hired ¿rst. Kuhn and Weaver will face off in a public debate, Monday, Nov. 14, at the Youbou Community Hall. The debate will begin at 6 p.m., and is scheduled to last until 8:30 p.m.

CVRD stays course on $50,000 ECO Depot ad campaign

Political deja vu out at the lake Council chambers in the Town of Lake Cowichan will look the same for the next three years. This is what the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxpayers said, as the 4 p.m. Oct. 14 deadline for additional nominations passed without any additional candidates coming forth. Mayor Ross Forrest and councillors Bob Day, Jayne Ingram, Franklin Hornbrook, and Tim McGonigle will remain at council chambers. Although theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in by acclamation, Forrest said he has mixed feelings about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased with the council we have,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope, though, that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a result of a lack of interest on the part of the town.â&#x20AC;? Forrest said he hopes people still show up, both for the school board elections and to vote on the ďŹ&#x201A;uoridation referendum question; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you want the town to continue with the ďŹ&#x201A;uoridation of the drinking water supply?â&#x20AC;? With the last municipal election resulting in the highest voter turnout in the province, he hopes another such turnout happens this time around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to be proud of, so I hope people still turn out,â&#x20AC;? he said, of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previously high voter turnout.

he Cowichan Valley Regional District is prepared to follow through with expenditures of about $50,000 to tout the beneÂżts of its controversial South Cowichan ECO Depot

p proposal. This comes two months after the board a approved an advertising budget with no hard cap. c And it comes a week after a proposal to l limit that budget to $20,000 was met with the r revelation some directors were unaware what t communications project entailed and what the iti would cost. In the resulting awkwardness, the board r resolved to hold a special Oct. 18 meeting to g directors time to get up to speed. give At that meeting, directors received a breakd down of the campaignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected $48,275 cost c â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about $21,000 to pay for billboards, p pamphlets, newspapers ads, a site ofÂżce and a

poll, the rest to pay Acumen Communications for creative and management fees. Staff indicated about $25,000 had already been spent, and more essentially committed to. The board decided in September an ad campaign was necessary prior to a Nov. 19 non-binding referendum to combat what it considered a large amount of misinformation being circulated by site opponents. Board Chairwoman Gerry Giles said only nine directors were present for the vote that approved the initial campaign. Once the rest were brought up to snuff, they agreed to stay the course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are generally receptive to the site and very receptive to taking it to the public,â&#x20AC;? she said. Cowichan Lake South Director Ian Morrison said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not happy with the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no written resolution on record with a dollar Âżgure on it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made it very clear Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not supportive of the

whole thing.â&#x20AC;? w In his view, directors felt they were in too deep tto do anything else â&#x20AC;&#x153;(They said) just what do we do? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into it tthis much, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop nnow.â&#x20AC;? It was Morrison who Ian Morrison: instigated the $20,000 not supportive cap proposal at the Oct. 12 CVRD meeting, knowing the budget was about $50,000. He believes that Âżgure is way out of line, comparing it to the $13,000 spent touting the $7.9-million Cowichan Lake Arena renovation. He also questions $6,500 budgeted for the poll, which he says is aimed at determining the effectiveness of the ad campaign and making any mid-stream adjustments the regional district deems necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win at all costs.â&#x20AC;?

classrooms.

Six hits of $20,872 will go toward extra academic teaching support or academic educational assistant time at Quamichan, Alexander, Khowhemun, Koksilah and Cobble Hill elementary schools, plus Chemainus Secondary School. Another $8,978 out of the fund will pay for a behavioural educational assistant for an extra 7.5 hours per week at Chemainus Elementary

Voters, now is the time for you to have your say Election time: Make an effort to ﬁnd the candidates that best represent you

ow’s the golden time to learn all about Cowichan’s candidates seeking of¿ce on Nov. 19. We’re talking about those running for Duncan and North Cowichan council, school board, and Cowichan Valley Regional District board. There are plenty of places to meet, question and listen to a ton of hopefuls bravely vying for of¿ce. Fortunately, a slate of all-candidate meetings is the perfect place to judge candidates. There’s noting like getting a live sense of these aspiring leaders. Its time for To political junkies, this is live entertainment at its best — remember, those you to parelected directly affect your life. ticipate in That can’t be boring. And there’s nowhere for your leaders democracy to hide; no party caucus to run to. This is raw community politics starring Cowichanians you meet in coffeeshops, stores, and parks. Or when they knock on your door. Traditionally, Cowichan’s civic voter turnout has been a lousy 30-odd percent. Ideally, it would be 95 per cent, leaving no doubt who’s best for the job. There’s also little doubt if you don’t vote, you don’t care about your own backyard. Since 2008, we’ve heard an earful about the ECO Depot, Bamberton, Mill Bay Marina, trees, jobs, economic development, animal abuse, farmland, Echo Heights, schools, trains, water, taxes, ¿sh and much more. When that drawbridge drops Nov. 19, only voting helps ensure the people you want get inside to act on your concerns, not theirs. Look for ideas and vision over promises and mudslinging, or expect the stale status quo — or worse, waste and lost opportunities . Follow cowichannewsleader.com for continual coverage.

We say:

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

This we like Any fears that the great spirit created by the 2008 North American Indigenous Games had vanished should now be put to rest. The large, enthusiastic crowd marching from VIU to the Si’em Lelum gym for multiculturalism during the Walk of the Nations made sure of that. They walked to send a message. That message was delivered and should have been received.

The Walk of Nations attracted nearly 1,000 people.

Community living targets are too politically risky Tom Fletcher Black Press

y ¿rst glimpse of B.C.’s care system for developmentally disabled people was as a teen in the early 1970s. My grandfather brought me to his workplace, Tranquille “school.” The Kamloops institution that began life as a tuberculosis sanitorium in 1907 was by then converted to warehouse a different group of society’s outcasts. Ambulatory inmate-patients wearing lockedon football helmets wandered the courtyard of a sprawling prison-hospital complex that featured its own ¿re station. Tranquille would hit the headlines a decade later, when Human Resources Minister Grace McCarthy announced that she was enacting a plan, years in the making, to close such places. Tranquille, with 323 inmate-patients and 675 staff, would be ¿rst. A 1983 newspaper report captured the mood:

“Mentally retarded persons in institutions must not be ‘dumped back on the doorstep of their natural families’ when these institutions are closed, the executive director of the B.C. Association for the Mentally Retarded warned Monday.” The B.C. Government Employees’ Union began an occupation of Tranquille buildings the next day, expelling managers. The sit-in lasted three weeks, joined by Tranquille’s 120 psychiatric nurses, before staff agreed to work on the system that would replace it a year later. Some patients did go back to their families, with support services. And today B.C. has a network of 700 group homes, essentially smaller institutions. Their province-wide union contract was just renewed under the B.C. government’s “net zero” wage mandate, with an additional $18 million to enroll employees in dozens of contracted agencies to a pension plan for municipal employees. Lobbying and court action have forced expansion of provincial services to those diagnosed with autism and fetal alcohol conditions. People with Down syndrome and other disabilities now

It is incumbent on the Cowichan Valley Regional District to explain to voters why it thinks the South Cowichan ECO Depot is such a good idea. So we can’t begrudge it a communications budget. What we can complain about is the size of that budget and the fact it was adopted without a clearly considered cap on spending. We need to be informed, not guided.

BC VIEWS

live much longer, to the point where some develop dementia as well. All this is on top of the many previously independent seniors developing dementia and other disabling conditions at an accelerating rate. Stephanie Cadieux, the latest minister of what is now called Social Development, has asked for a multi-ministry examination of the adult care agency, Community Living B.C. As CLBC’s budget rises past $710 million, there are services from the health and children and families ministries going to disabled people as well. The political focus has been on CLBC’s closure of 65 group homes with only 200 residents, and its push for adult adoptions rather than institutions with shift workers. This is true “community living” that should be established where practical, with appropriate inspections. The NDP wants a moratorium on group home closures, even if they’re decrepit or mostly empty. It wants a backlog of 2,800 applications for new or increased service eliminated, apparently without any ef¿ciency moves. It wants an

“independent review” of CLBC followed by a full-time independent advocate for developmentally disabled people. Cadieux says CLBC’s internal service quality advocate has a high success rate resolving family complaints. A toll-free line has been set up to direct service issues to a new client support group. On Friday Cadieux announced that a bonus program for CLBC management has been terminated. “In a people-¿rst organization like CLBC, an incentive plan based on targets and measures is, quite simply, not appropriate,” said a statement from the ministry. As Premier Christy Clark was recently reminded on health care, even talk of de¿ned cost control is too politically risky. Tom Fletcher is the legislative reporter for Black Press.

You have to be a public person, which is much to the dismay of some writers, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really just the way it is.â&#x20AC;? Rogers should know.

Q: Once someone dies, do their hair and ďŹ nger nails continue to grow? Answer: The answer is no. It is a common misconception that hair and ďŹ ngernails grow after death. Once a person dies, they start to lose water moisture within the body which leads to dehydration which causes the skin to shrink and can give the illusion that hair and nails still grow.

They’re just amazed at the lack of entries in their specialty area of track and ¿eld considering all that the Games has to offer. “They always put on entertainment,’’ said Nola, 56. “The host committees try to make it a big event.

Seniors Good Life Sunset stars blazing after all these years

News Leader Pictorial

ost people aim to help their community to one degree or another, and the Sunset Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star offers varying ways to help. It can be as simple as attending the fraternal organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10thannual Cabaret Night fundraiser, featuring Alf Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Band, a roast beef dinner and prizes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happens on Nov. 5, and tickets are $30,â&#x20AC;? said OESâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Barbara Stewart. Proceeds go toward a variety of local programs and projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our main cause is cancer,â&#x20AC;? said Stewart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We provide cancer dressings to anybody that needs them, plus we contribute to the Vancouver Island Cancer Lodge, and to cancer research with the B.C. Cancer Society.â&#x20AC;? Approximately 100 local OES members raise thousands of dollars by collecting cancelled stamps, hosting hot dog sales or selling rafĂ&#x20AC;e tickets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this is our biggest fundraiser,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said of the cabaret night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our 10th year doing it, and since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to sell all the tickets, we will have raised around $60,000 in those 10 years.â&#x20AC;? But those hoping for a more hands-on way to help the community can consider joining the international organization, which has been in Duncan for 85 years, and in the province for 100. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always looking for new members with a Masonic relationship,â&#x20AC;? said Stewart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You basically have friends all over the world, and if you like to work toward something, community projects and things like that, we do a lot of that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We raise a lot of money for our community.â&#x20AC;? There are personal beneÂżts, too.

Review: Byrnes colours the theatre a deep, dark, stirring blue Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

lues don’t get mo’ better than those delivered during Jim Byrnes’ recent Cowichan Theatre debut. Sure, Byrnes has played the Crofton Pub, and even the late Simon Charlie’s Festival of Sun, here before. But the theatre was made for Byrnes’ act backed by a terri¿c trio of players, plus the soulsational Sojourners gospel singers. Byrnes’ laid-back delivery heard the Vancouver-based player chat with the crowd as if he were in a bar or small club, before starting his next heartfelt tune on a pretty maplecolour Paul Reed Smith guitar.

But it was his raw vocal intensity that lent authenticity to a style so often de¿cient in reÀecting where the bittersweet blues came from. Byrnes, drummer Geoff Hicks, bassist Keith Lowe, and string king Steve Dawson dug grooves with guitar picks and vocal shovels that left several hundred fans hungry for more — before and after The Sojourners joined in. Byrnes’ bluesarama spanned early songs (The Bootlegger Blues) to countri¿ed fare (Mel Tillis’ Carry Your Load), to originals (Byrnes’ blubbering Drowning In My Own Tears). Dawson did some occasional showboating slide work on a Fender Strat or a Telecaster, between shiny spells on a Weissenborn lap steel guitar. But Dawson’s main job was

synchro-meshing with the blues engine stoked by Hicks and Lowe. They were all in good company with classy Sojourners Marcus Mosely, Will Sanders, and Khari McLelland who showcased their pearly pipes on House of Refuge, Curtis May¿eld’s People Get Ready, and haunting You Are My Fortress. Variety and depth of the evening by Byrnes and his buddies was world class, the type of act that attracts Juno or Grammy awards — sadly without the slick accolades reserved for top-selling rap, rock and pop acts. Ironically, the blues’ unsung melancholy is what makes Byrnes’ earthy genre so special — and deserving of far more recognition. Blues show rating: 9 mojos out of 10.

Andrew Leong

Jim Byrnes and his well-synched backing band provided plenty of evidence as to why the blues genre is so special.

y the way, did you hear: • The Maple Bay Yacht Club was excited to receive notice the club now has the of¿cial patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Andrew, Duke of York. • Walmart in Duncan has been busy on the charitable front recently with a pair of donations. Gerry Loehndorf announced a donation of $2,000 to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, happily accepted last month by longtime local Heart and Stroke stalwart Colleen Marsel. Meanwhile, Bruce Andrew, community development manager for the Canadian Red Cross, is pleased to announce the store handed another cheque for $10,265.68 to help the Red Cross Coastal Region to provide assistance within hours of a disaster. Through donations collected at the till, the store raised more money than any other Walmart store on Vancouver Island and ¿nished in the top 10 in the province. • Longtime NLP readers may remember Steve Addison, a crime reporter who worked here a decade ago. Steve left reporting to become a cop with the Vancouver Police Department, but he has not forgotten his reporting roots. He’s started a blog on the Vancouver police website called Eastside Stories “to share my insights, reÀections and anecdotes about the life of a Hastings Street

He and a group of local students enjoyed their time at Frankfurt International School, answering many questions about the culture of Cowichan Tribes. They were featured in a German paper and looked forward to sharing their culture with students during visits to Lipzig, Berlin and Dresden. • Duncan efforts for the annual B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive last month saw 185 volunteers visit 3,136 homes and collect 5,589 pounds of non-perishable food delivered to The Cowichan Basket Society. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spearheaded the drive aided tremendously by local participation from 7 Eleven, Staples, The Sahtlam Fire Department and Young’s Exteriors. • The Chemainus Chamber of Commerce has added two new directors: Fran Milne (By the Beach B&B) and Bob Larabie (The Print Shop).

First-time author shares work from her debut during evening of readings in Mill Bay

uthor Elizabeth Chanter will be reading from her ¿rst novel tomorrow in her hometown. The Mill Bay writer will read from The House On Becket Lane, her debut effort recently self-published through iUniverse. “It is a book about England of another era, the early l9th century, a time of horses and carriages and strict

rules of conduct, in which an aristocrat falls in love with a commoner, a romance fraught with problems and dif¿culties, and a family mystery,” she said. “A complement of believable background characters enhances the story, and the intriguing plot keeps us surprised to the last page.” Peg Cox, Manuel Erickson and Joanna Weston will join Chanter in a series of 10-minute readings.

Each has published poetry, short stories or longer ones and will present excerpts from what they have written. Chanter will be one of four authors sharing their work with interested residents during a session at the Mill Bay Public Library. The Oct. 27 session begins at 7 p.m. at the library at Mill Bay Centre and is free. — John McKinley

Return date for Piaf tribute John McKinley

News Leader Pictorial

owichan can’t get enough of Edith Piaf. Or at least Piaf as portrayed by island songstress Joelle Rabu. For the third time in less than four years, Rabu brings the sounds of Piaf to the valley. Tonight…Piaf, her onewoman tribute to the life and art of the acclaimed singer, opens in Chemainus tonight. If you missed the previous shows, News Leader Pictorial reviewer Peter W. Rusland would urge you not to make the same mistake again, “Rabu’s Piaf is so real we share the agony of her present, and the ecstasy of her triumphant rise to global stage success in France before she won highbrow American fans,” Rusland wrote following a January 2008 Chemainus performance. “Her Piography (is) a masterpiece for audiences of every age and taste.” Written by Rabu and Ted Galay in 1989, the show is set around the recreation of New York City concert staged by the French songbird a few years prior to her 1963 death. The story of her painful, passionate life comes clear in asides delivered to the audience in between more than 15 of Piaf’s bestloved tunes. Chemainus Theatre Festival audiences thought enough of Tonight…Piaf to convince management to bring Rabu back for this year’s four-day run. Rabu also charmed audiences in Shawnigan Lake one year ago with a variety show that leaned heavily on her signature role.

Your ticket What: Tonight…Piaf Where: Chemainus Theatre When: Oct. 26 to 29, with four evening shows and two matinees. Tickets: call 1-800-5657738.

ho killed the arrogant coal baron? Diners and actors sniff out the dirty rat during this weekend’s Murder Most Foul dinner-theatre bene¿t at Chemainus United Church. Proceeds from the 1900 murder mystery — penned by actor Mark Hein — will help pay for an X-ray machine at Chemainus Health Care Centre. Chemainiacs will become sleuths during the culinary caper. “The idea came up when a group of us tried a box murder-mystery game,” Hein said of the whodunit resembling Clue, acted out by the players. He and partner Kate Marsh stretched the game into a community dinner-theatre murder mystery.

Foul, he explained, hinges on eight colourful characters from Mural Town’s history —their names changed — that are suspects in the poisoning of robber baron coal mine-railroad magnate Phineas Bulstrode (Robert Radford). Chief and Const. Jack Tillkum (Robert George) must crack the case. Suspects include midwife Granny Young (Jackie Adamthwaite), town physician Doc Wellburn (Jamie Stephen), mill owner W.T. Jackson (Stewart Whitworth), postmistress/ store owner Minnie Striver (Michelle Lieffertz), Mount Sicker copper-mine owner John Heath (Ken Lavigne), Mount Sicker saloon owner Polly Malone (Alice Lavigne), Rev. William Archibald (Bruce Oliphant), and chef Mother Wu (Vi Chang). Townsfolk include Nurse Rae (Kate Marsh), Alec Horton (Gordon Hughes), Nann Farber (Velma MacLeod), and Hein as Willson Finch.

Johannes Siegel of Cowichan works around Cam Clark of Ballenas last Wednesday at the Cowichan Sportsplex. Cowichan won 7-0.

Cowichan blanks Ballenas 86 and Patrick Large in injury time. As the score indicates, Cowichan completely outplayed Ballenas. “If it weren’t for a dozen stray shots, the score would have been considerably higher,’’ noted Cowichan coach Ron Glass. “It was fantastic to have seven different individuals score the seven goals for Cowichan.’’ Noah Dobson and Sam Gillman were pillars of strength on defence. Alex Degraaf and Jerod Dorby shared the shutout in goal. Cowichan plays an exhibition game Thursday at 3:30 p.m. at Shawnigan Lake School.

Atom A Cowichan Brett Hopwo’s team emerged as champions of the Comox Atom Tier 1 Thanksgiving tournament. The Caps opened the tournament with a tough loss to the Peninsula Eagles in a preview of the eventual ¿nal. The Caps concluded the round robin by placing second in Group B after beating Port Coquitlam and Comox. That put the team against the Hollyburn Huskies, last year’s tournament champs and the ¿rst-place ¿nishers in Group A. The Caps jumped into a 5-1 lead and held on to beat Hollyburn in a shootout on beautiful goals by Luciano Wilson and Corson Hopwo. “The semi-¿nal game was a complete team effort with strong performance from everyone but especially by Wilson who scored a hat trick and strong goaltending by Sascha Rouselle,’’ coach Hopwo noted. Winning the semi¿nal led to the rematch with Peninsula. The Caps had yet to beat Peninsula in three attempts, but had a strong start and staved off a late third period goal to beat the Eagles 5-3. Kahlil Fontana had a strong game with four points. Tournament game awards went to Taylor Webb, Wilson, Corson Hopwo, Rouselle and Fontana. Atom B Coach Korbe Hamilton’s Cowichan Valley Atom B Capitals started tournament action with a 3-0 win over Saanich. Saanich had just beaten the Caps the previous week. Next up was Peninsula, another team that recently beat the Caps, but the trend reversed in a 9-5 Cowichan win. The team’s ¿rst loss came against Port Alberni 7-5 that set up a rematch in the ¿nal. “Of course, the message was that we had beaten two teams that had previously beaten us and now we needed to do it again,’’ noted Hamilton. The ¿nal was a great game. The Caps never trailed and the whole team responded with tight backchecking and timely goals for a 7-3 win. “All in all I am really happy with our team game and goaltending,’’ offered Hamilton. Pee Wee Tier 1 The Pee Wee Tier 1 Capitals won all six games en route to the title of the 13th

annual Abbotsford Thanksgiving Peewee IceBreaker tournament. Scores were as follows: Cowichan 6, Abbotsford 4; Cowichan 6, Kamloops 1; Cowichan 5, Surrey 2; Cowichan 6, Seattle 4; Cowichan 2, Saanich 1 and Cowichan 10, Seattle 6. “It was a team effort, all the kids played very well,’’ noted coach Derek Topping. Leading the way offensively were forwards Ben Berard, Kyle Topping and defenseman Dylan Hartl. Goaltenders Chris Akerman and Dylan Thomas Metz each had three wins. Game MVPs included the two goaltenders as well as Hartl and fellow blueliner Jamie Roberts plus forwards Cole Broadhurst and Braydon Nelson. Pee Wee B Coach Clint Whitaker’s Cowichan Valley Pee Wee Tier 2 team won all four round robin games in the Alberni Valley Pee Wee Rep B tournament before losing an entertaining ¿nal 5-4 to Nanaimo. Cowichan beat Nanaimo in the ¿rst game of the tournament. “We successfully killed off four straight penalties that kept us short 5-on-3 for several minutes before grabbing the lead in which we held until the third period when we gave up a power play goal with a late chance to tie on a penalty shot,’’ pointed out Whitaker. “We showed great teamwork with contributions from everyone.’’ Gus Wilson, Jacob Middlemiss-Degroot, Gavin Spencer, Luke Handel and Will Wright all received player of the game awards. Bantam A Coach Randy Beggs’ Cowichan Valley Bantam Tier 1 team hosted its own Thanksgiving tournament. Cowichan lost the ¿rst two games by one goal and then fell 7-0 to Langley to end up in the consolation bracket. Cowichan defeated Powell River 6-1 backed by outstanding goalkeeping by Ty Rennie, and two goals each from Andrew Jack and Connor Bissett. The consolation ¿nal against Comox again featured solid goaltending from John Hawthorne and ended in a 1-1 tie. It went to a shootout, with Comox scoring on its ¿rst attempt and missing the other two. Cowichan couldn’t score on the Comox goaltender, who had a great game by stopping more than 30 shots. Cowichan’s lone goal came from Josh Anderson. “It was a good last day for the kids and lots to build from,’’ noted Beggs.

Div. 2 squad also stingy on defence

Too many mistakes costly for Breakers Handsworth tournament: Close loss to champion McMath a sign the girls are on the right track

Shutout string: Cowichan’s top two senior soccer teams have only given up a combined four goals Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

tingy defensive numbers aren’t just limited to Cowichan’s Div. 1 Island Soccer League team. Cowichan United of Div. 2 is making a case for the defence as well, with just three goals against in six games. After playing a scoreless game against Castaways the previous week, Cowichan held the opposition off the scoresheet again Saturday at the Cowichan Sportsplex. United’s Rob Barfoot scored the only goal of the game while Darian Achurch recorded his second straight shutout in a 1-0 victory over Nanaimo. The win improved Cowichan’s record to 4-1-1 for 13 points and put it into a logjam in fourth place, narrowly behind Salt Spring Island’s 16 points, Gordon Head’s 15 and Castaways’ 14. Cowichan has only scored 10 goals in its six games but allowing just three leaves every outcome up for grabs. The

Nanaimo game was no exception. “The ¿rst half was pretty even,’’ said coach Lorne Chahal. “The second half we were taking it to them. We ¿nally got one toward the end.’’ The win was fully deserved based on Cowichan’s consistent play for the entire game. “It was a team game,’’ said Chahal. “Everybody put in their time. The guys that played half a game put in their 45 minutes.’’ Cowichan still has a game in hand on two teams ahead of it, Gordon Head and Castaways. “We get those points and we could be at the top of the standings,’’ said Chahal. Cowichan’s success hasn’t been dependent on any one player, other than the remarkable goalkeeping and ¿eld direction provided by Achurch. “We have some younger guys and some of our guys graduated up to Div. 1,’’ said Chahal. “We have more depth this year.’’ Trying to get everyone into the game is actually a good problem for Chahal. “Now everyone’s ¿ghting for position, ¿ghting for playing

Lakehill isn’t far off the pace at 2-2-2. “That should be a big game,’’ said Chahal. Div. 1 Cowichan LMG Pringle put up its biggest numbers yet, crushing Juan de Fuca 12-0 Friday night at Sherman Road Park’s Bill Keserich Field. “The ¿rst mistake they made, they only brought 11 guys,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin. “Most of the goals actually came late in the ¿rst half and

then late in the second half. That’s when they were tired.’’ Cowichan scored six times in each half. Kevin Jones had four, Ryan Andre and Matt Arnett added two apiece and singles came from league-leading scorer Brian Carriere, Robbie Martin, Bram Taylor and Tyler Hughes on a penalty shot. Cowichan’s record is now 6-1 with 32 goals and just one against. Joel Wilson has six straight shutouts. Cowichan’s long homestand ends Friday against Nanaimo at 7 p.m.

verybody makes mistakes in fastpaced volleyball matches, but it’s the frequency that’s hurting the Frances Kelsey Breakers. There was little margin for error when the Breakers went up against some of the province’s high-powered teams in the Handsworth Invitational senior girls’ tournament. “De¿nitely, we’re on an error reduction program,’’ said Kelsey coach Mark Jackson before heading into practice with the girls Monday. The Breakers lost their three pool matches Friday. They prevailed in one of three matches Saturday to ¿nish 14th overall. “We could never seem to win a match due to a few too many errors,’’ said Jackson. “You can err, but you can’t put together a string of errors.’’ The Breakers’ ¿rst match provided a case in point of how close they are to some of the top teams. They lost 15-25, 2225 to McMath of Richmond,

the eventual champions. “We really picked it up in game two,’’ said Jackson. “I thought we were going to win game two at one point. “It was a very ¿ne line between us on the consolation side and the top teams.’’ Kelsey closed out pool play by losing 12-25, 15-25 to Heritage Woods of Burnaby and 20-25, 22-25 to St. Pat’s. Consolation play began with a tough 16-25, 25-18, 9-15 loss to South Delta. Leigh Borrett turned in a solid performance at libero with nine perfect passes. The Breakers ¿nally prevailed in their next match in three sets over North Surrey 25-18, 17-25, 15-13. Monica WhitneyBrown earned player of the match honours with 11 kills and Kelsey Schnellback contributed 11 tough serves. The last match ended in a 1425, 21-25 defeat against Argyle. Borrett was player of the match with 14 perfect passes while Schnellback was the top server with eight and Darby Fischer made her presence felt with seven perfect passes. The DCS tournament is next for the team on Nov. 4-5.

Empty-netter the winner for the Generals Odd ending: Islanders strike for a late goal in a 4-3 loss after pulling the goalie earlier Don Bodger

o, the Kerry Park Islanders haven’t lost their sanity. An empty-net goal was the winner Saturday in Parksville when the Islanders lost a Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League game 4-3 to the Oceanside Generals. The oddity occurred when the Islanders pulled their goalie early with more than two minutes left on the clock for a shot at the equalizer while trailing 3-2. But Oceanside’s Riel Gibson made it 4-2 with 1:20 remaining and Islanders’ goalie Matt Chester on the bench for an extra attacker to seemingly wrap up the game for the Generals. But Islanders’ captain Cole Thomson had other ideas and came right back to score in the last minute to close the gap to one again. Despite another hard drive for the net, the Islanders couldn’t tie it. In a strange twist, that left Gibson’s empty-netter as the game-winner. Eric Mansueti and Brandon

Oceanside also beat the Islanders 5-1 at Kerry Park Thursday. “Our team just wasn’t into it,’’ said Thomson. “We played better

at Oceanside than we did at Kerry Park. That was our game to win. We just gave it away.’’ The Generals led 3-0 before Joel Gordon connected on the power play for Kerry Park late in the second period.

It was a downer week for the Islanders after two great games against league powerhouse Victoria. The Islanders play at Peninsula Friday and host the Panthers Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

t’s a busy and productive time for Duncan Christian School volleyball teams. The DCS boys hosted a playday last Thursday, with four teams taking part. DCS defeated Chemainus and Dwight International and split with Ballenas. Ballenas recorded victories in two games over Chemainus and Dwight. Dwight also defeated Chemainus in two straight sets, although both were very close. The DCS boys are ranked ¿fth in the province for A schools. They’ve been in the same position for a few weeks, with new rankings due out Wednesday. Chemainus just made the top 10 in the last rankings at No. 10. Another playday is planned Thursday at DCS. DCS is in a pool with Frances Kelsey and Chemainus. Ballenas, Wellington and Dwight are in the other pool. That leads up to the DCS senior boys’ invitational tournament Saturday. That event will feature eight teams, split into two pools of four. DCS, Campbell River Christian, Ucluelet and Unity make up Pool B, with Chemainus, Dwight, Gulf Islands and Credo Christian in Pool A. Action begins at 8:30 a.m. and continues straight through to the ¿nal at 5 p.m. Meanwhile, the DCS senior girls have moved into the provincial A top 10 for the ¿rst time at No. 6 following their great play in the last two tournaments. DCS won its pool in the B.C. Christian Secondary Schools championship at Langley Christian. “Since I’ve been here, that’s the ¿rst time we’ve accomplished that,’’ said coach Mary Joan Visscher. “You can see the growth that’s taken place with the girls.’’ DCS couldn’t keep the streak going in the playoffs, losing to M.E.I. of Abbotsford and Paci¿c Christian. “The calibre of play is much stronger on the championship side of the draw,’’ said Visscher. “It’s good experience for them.’’ The tournament featured 19 teams, split into power pools based on rankings. “I guess there’s some new schools that have just started in the last few years,’’ said Visscher of the massive entry. Megan Groenendijk and Jess Wikkerink are the only Grade 12s on the DCS team. Visscher also has four Grade 11s and four Grade 9s.

Dominant Shawnigan girls ride a team effort to AA title

Dream season: Quest for a B.C. crown builds during island tournament Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

ake that three major tournament wins this season for the Shawnigan Lake School senior girls’ ¿eld hockey team. All that’s left is the big one, the provincial championship. The Shawnigan girls followed up on their Friendship Cup and UBC tournament wins by dismantling the competition Friday and Saturday during the island AA championships on their home turf. It was an impressive display from the starting lineup through all the bench players. Shawnigan blasted Mark Isfeld 11-0, Glenlyon Norfolk 10-1, St. Michael’s 7-0 and Lambrick Park 4-0 in the ¿nal. “Every single person that went in gave it 100 per cent,’’ said Kelly Koepp, co-coach with husband Benjamin. “It’s kind of tricky if you have it easy in the pool games,’’ said Benjamin. “The mental switch has to be done.’’ Despite the dominant performances, “there’s lots of room for improvement,’’ said Benjamin. Shawnigan will indeed have to be on top of its game if it hopes to challenge for the provincial crown. The tournament starts next Wednesday at Burnaby Lake. For now, Shawnigan is savouring its latest success before getting down to work for a shot at the ultimate prize. The team has the experience and talent

Foot race ensues for Tomoko Ogawa of Shawnigan Lake during the island AA senior girls’ Äeld hockey Änal Saturday. Above, Mark Hall presents the championship trophy to Shawnigan Lake captain Lizzie Yates. It was Shawnigan’s second straight island title. to be the best in B.C.; it’s just a matter of everything coming together at the right time. Benjamin deems short corner work crucial as well as better starts to games. “They tend to be pretty sleepy at the beginning,’’ he said. “It has to be ¿xed. It could be a killing factor in the game.’’ Depth remains Shawnigan’s biggest asset. The girls wanted to stick with one team rather than split in two so some of the players have to bide their time. “We have 18 to 20 players who can maintain the quality of the game,’’ Benjamin said. “It’s nice to see they take this opportunity and do something with it and not just watch the show. It’s so gratifying to see how most of them improved so

much from last year.’’ The ¿nal against Lambrick was actually a lot tougher than the score indicates. Lambrick had plenty of play in the Shawnigan end, forcing goalkeeper Sydney Hamm to make some big-time saves. “It was an even match,’’ said Shawnigan captain Lizzie Yates. “There was some good hard play.’’ Shawnigan scored some spectacular goals. Erin Cornell started it with a nifty move to beat the goalkeeper. Cornell and Julianne Hennig then set up Tomoko Ogawa and she ¿nished off the bang-bang play perfectly. More great teamwork was seen on the second-half goals. Kaja Hansen set up Hennig nicely and then Yates rushed

into the Lambrick end and made an unbelievable backhanded cross pass that found Hansen wide open at the side of the goal. “We’re playing good hockey,’’ said Yates. “I think we’re just building for the provincials. “Most of our goals are set up to tips. It makes the goals so much better when two or three people are a part of it.’’ Shawnigan had plenty of work on short corners late in the game. Yates hopes that part of the team’s game will come together at provincials. “We’ve capitalized on a few, but not as many as we probably should,’’ she said. Brentwood College’s young squad played well in its two tournament

games, starting with a 3-1 loss to St. Michael’s. “I think we can play with them,’’ said coach Alanna Martin. “We started off a little bit slow.’’ Brentwood then battled Lambrick to the bitter end, not allowing a goal until the last three minutes in a 1-0 defeat. “The girls ended on a really good note,’’ said Martin. “They actually competed with them and held their ground.’’ Captain Danica Marrs and other senior players Sarah Moug, Mairead McCormack, Carien Smit and Jackie Agnew were all standouts. Grade 11 player Amanda McLean showed her experience and will be back to anchor the team next season.

for island Äeld hockey test Prime time: Teams going all out to qualify for provincials

Eric Williams There’s a rather obvious reason why Eric Williams is nicknamed Wheels. Williams, 15, a Grade 10 student at Dwight International School, brings incredible speed to his slotback position with the Cowichan Bulldogs in the Vancouver Mainland Football League. He’s also a constant threat to score on every punt and kickoff return and has done so many times. “He’s learned to use his speed to advantage,’’ said Bulldogs’ head coach Doug Williams. “He brings his athleticism to the team that makes the other kids want to step up their game.’’ Eric Williams has played four seasons each of spring and fall football. “My stepdad, he played football when he was younger,’’ he said. “He kind of got me into it.’’ Williams comes to the park motivated to do his best every game.

he battle for provincial berths promises to be intense when the island AAA senior girls’ high school ¿eld hockey championships take place Friday and Saturday at the Cowichan Sportsplex. Cowichan Secondary heads into the tournament as North No. 1 followed by Frances Kelsey at No. 2, Vanier at No. 3 and Dover Bay at No. 4. Final placings for the South zone among defending island champion Oak Bay, Mount Douglas, Claremont and Reynolds won’t be con¿rmed until Wednesday. There are only two and a half berths from the island into the B.C. playdowns this year. That means the teams that make the ¿nal will qualify, but the No. 3 island team faces a challenge game against No. 6 Fraser Valley for another spot. “It’s going to de¿nitely be a bit of a challenge,’’ said Cowichan coach Jen Budding. Cowichan, Kelsey, Oak Bay and Mount Douglas are favoured to make up the top four in the island tournament. After that,

it could prove interesting with any of the teams capable of winning it. “If we play to our potential, we should make it into the ¿nals of the islands,’’ said Budding. But she was remaining cautiously optimistic. “Never put the cart before the horse, kind of thing.’’ Kelsey is hosting the tournament. The Breakers are playing very well and improving with each game. Cowichan and Kelsey played to a 1-1 tie last Tuesday. Kelsey took the lead in the ¿rst half when Rachel Williams deÀected a shot by Chelsey Cleemoff during a short corner. Cowichan’s Krystyna Neal tied the game with about 10 minutes left. Cowichan also defeated Vanier 4-0 Thursday. Cowichan ¿nished with ¿ve wins and a tie in league play. Kelsey had four wins, a loss and a tie. Cowichan is in a pool with Vanier, South 2 and South 4 and plays Friday games at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Kelsey is grouped with Dover Bay, South 1 and South 3 and plays Friday at 9 a.m., 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. The ¿nal is at 5:15 p.m. Saturday.

Harlem Crowns back for basketball hoopla at Prevost Thursday

Got a sports story? e-mail sports@cowichannewsleader.com phone 250-746-4471

SPORTS WATCH

Thursday’s big basketball game at Mount Prevost School featuring the Harlem Crowns is almost a sell-out. The Prevost Grade 9 boys’ basketball team is hosting the Crowns at 7 p.m. as a fundraiser. Doors open at 6:30.

Anyone who’d still like to attend is advised to call the school for ticket availability. Pre-sale tickets are $9 each at the school or $10 at the game if there’s any left by then. The Crowns performed at Duncan Christian School last fall

and have been entertaining valley crowds at other locations such as Cowichan Secondary School for many years. The Crowns came into existence in the mid-1950s. The man credited with starting it all is former Globetrotter Chico Burrell.

ometimes a shake-up is a good thing and can produce astounding results. Such was the case when the Cowichan Valley Capitals concluded their three-game B.C. Hockey League road trip to the Interior Sunday with a game in Merritt. Coaches Jim Ingram and Dale Purinton were looking for more balanced scoring to take some of the pressure off Devin Gannon, Steven Iacobellis and Matt Brown. Iacobellis was teamed with Travis Stephens and Brandon Mistal and — Voila! — the move paid immediate dividends in a 4-1 Caps’ win over the Centennials. Stephens came into the game with just two points, but now has ¿ve after collecting a pair of goals and an assist while Mistal racked up four points — more than the three he accumulated in all the team’s previous games — and scored his ¿rst goal of the season. Iacobellis, the Caps’ second leading scorer behind Gannon, even improved his point total considerably. He moved to 11 on the season after posting a goal and two assists. “We had a lot of energy and we were ¿rst to pucks,’’ said Stephens. “We were playing together at the start of the year. In Merritt, they put us back together. We just all kind of clicked. We’re all different players. We seemed to gel pretty good.’’ On a personal note, “it was nice to ¿nally get it going,’’ said the former scoring star with Saanich and Victoria in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. Stephens’ ¿rst goal came on a rebound

off the goalie’s pad and the second was a shot from the slot through the ¿vehole after being set up by Iacobellis. “I’m feeling good,’’ said Stephens, 18. “It takes time to adjust from Junior B to Junior A. You’ve got to make little changes to your game.’’ “I just didn’t feel we were getting enough contributions from other guys up-front,’’ said Ingram. “We need some more scoring. We mixed them up a little bit. “It just happened that line did all the scoring for us. All the lines made a contribution.’’ At the same time, the Caps started recently-acquired goalie Brady Rouleau and he made 19 saves on 20 Centennials’ shots. “I thought he played extremely well for us and looked really solid in net,’’ said Ingram. “It gives us a good tandem.’’ The Caps enjoyed a successful road trip overall that started with a 4-3 overtime win Friday in Salmon Arm on a Troy Paterson goal and included a tough 2-1 loss in Penticton to the powerful Vees Saturday. “It was really nice to get out on the road,’’ said Ingram. “The boys, I know, enjoyed it, just have time to bond as a unit.’’ The game in Salmon Arm brought more scoring from other sources, with Brendon MacDonald and Karver Everson both netting their ¿rst of the season. “We took way too many penalties that game,’’ said Stephens. “That got us into a bit of trouble.’’ The Penticton game may have been close, as Mike Reilly scored the winning goal with only 6:27 remaining, but Ingram didn’t particularly like the Caps’ efforts in the second period. “We were just apprehensive,’’ he said.

New Caps’ goalkeeper Brady Rouleau stands up to some tough tests in his debut with the team at Merritt Sunday. Defencemen Vinny Muto (5) and David London (6) rush to his aid, above, against Chad Brears. Karver Everson lends a helpful hand, below, to help cover up the puck. “They are just so skilled.’’ Only the proli¿c play of goalie Derek Dun kept the Caps in it and gave them a chance at the upset until the bitter end. “We expect a lot from our guys,’’ said Ingram. “At the same time, we knew it was going to be a massive task to knock them off in Penticton.’’ The Caps are back at it Wednesday in Victoria against a Grizzlies team that started horribly but has turned things around quickly. Currently, there’s just six points separating the eight teams from top to bottom in the Coastal Conference. The Caps are right in the thick of it at 6-4-1 for 13 points. Home games are on tap Saturday against Westside at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3:30 p.m. against Trail. Players of the parents will be coming in from all over the U.S. and Canada for the weekend.
