Cow Bay boy pulled from pool dies KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

A three-year-old boy has died in hospital, three days after he was pulled unresponsive from a Cowichan Bay backyard pool. Firefighters, police and paramedics scrambled to rescue the boy after a family member found him in the pool just after 10 a.m. on Sunday. CPR was performed at the scene, and he was airlifted by medevac helicopter from the Bench Elementary School field to the BC Children’s Hospital. The boy was in critical condition when he left.

“The BC Coroners Service has been notified of the child’s death, and now has conduct of the investigation,” read a statement from the local RCMP detachment. “The North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP will continue to assist the Coroners Service with their investigation. Cowichan Bay Fire Chief Ken Bulcock said the incident was the first of its kind he had responded to in 30 years with the fire department, and told parents to keep an eye on their children around all water: pools, lakes and the ocean.

The North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP are thanking Cowichan Valley media outlets for their quick response after putting the word out that they were looking for 15-year-old Matthew Del Campo. The teen was reported missing on June 17 but police believed he was still in the area.They just couldn’t track him down. It is believed the teen had run away from the house he lived in with his aunt, Angel Rivera,

while his mother remains in the Philippines trying to immigrate. A media advisory issued by North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP Cpl. Jon Stuart said the young man hadn’t been seen since early June. Stuart noted the youth’s disappearance came after Del Campo began to rebel against the house rules, started skipping school “and has been engaging is risky behaviours such as marijuana use.” See Direct • page 5

Officials sick of cleaning up drunken party mess at local parks SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Bylaw enforcement officials, park rangers, and RCMP set up check points and patrolled the area around Chemainus River Park over the long weekend and still were unable to stop at least one alcohol-fueled bush party. Red plastic cups, bottles of mixers and a plethora of assorted empties littered an area near the river, according to Brian Duncan, a CVRD bylaw enforcement officer. “That’s what we’re up against,” a frustrated Duncan said Wednesday morning. “Some of the weekends we don’t show up to do patrols, grad parties and folks from Victoria come up and leave the park that way.” Chemainus River Park has become a hot spot for youth who seek a bash in the bush. “People think we’re being a bunch of party poopers and everything but this is the crap we’re left with and we have to clean up,” he said. “I want people to recognize what we’re to clean up,” he said. “I want people to recognize what we’re up

Duncan described. Officials love that locals and visitors to the Cowichan Valley are drawn to the river and pools at Chemainus River Park. They just wish that folks would contain their use to daylight hours and be responsible while doing so. “We believe we’re going to get Chemainus River Park back to that pristine condition it was in 40 years ago,” Duncan said. “People are more than welcome to use it during the day. Take their dogs out, take their kids out, but the partying at night and the raves and the bush parties and the vandalism to the gates and the chopping trees down and pulling boulders out of the way so they can get their 4x4s down to the river, we’re just not going to allow it. This has got to stop. We’re going to do our very best to stop them.”

Routleys ready for shadow cabinet roles SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Cowichan’s two NDP MLAs have received their assignments at part of the shadow cabinet. Bill Routley (Cowichan Valley) and Doug Routley (NanaimoNorth Cowichan) and are the new Deputy Forestry critic, and Skills Training critic respectively. Official Opposition leader Adrian Dix made the announcement on June 14. Bill Routley will work closely with Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations critic Norm Macdonald (Columbia RiverRevelstoke) in a partnership that’s familiar to the pair. “We’ve worked together before and this is kind of a continuation,” Bill Routley said. A wealth of experience in the field means the old sawmill worker and union boss has his finger on the pulse of the forest industry and he said his goal is to keep the minister’s feet to the fire. “It’s great to be able to put my experience to use,” Bill Routley

said. “The forest file has a lot of interesting parts to it and all unique and different.” One troublesome issue, he noted, is that the province simply isn’t planting enough trees. “There’s an argument about the size of the area but it’s quite vast — a half a million to two million hectares that needs to be replanted,” he said. And what trees do remain are not accounted for very well, Bill Routley added. “We’ve heard from forest specialists throughout B.C. that we don’t have good, accurate inventory information that’s up to

date. You can’t manage what you haven’t properly measured and we’re holding the government to account for that.” Doug Routley previously held the Skills Training critic position for two years. “I was offered a few choices and that’s the one that I asked for,” Doug Routley said. “I’m excited to get back to it.” Routley said the lack of preparation of the workforce by the government is an issue he’s keen to tackle. “Throughout industry we’re constantly told a skills shortage is a number one obstacle, yet it’s the

only area that’s been subject to nominal cuts in the last budget,” he said. “Plus the premier dismantled her skills training committee that she set up just before the election, immediately after the election so I think I’m going to be looking at trying to encourage the government through constructive criticism to reinvest in the skills training.” Doug Routley said temporary foreign workers are filling the jobs that are becoming available within the province because there are supposedly no B.C. workers qualified to fill those roles. “That’s a tragedy,” he said. Dix said his goal is to hold Premier Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals to account. “When the legislature sits again starting June 26, we expect the government to demonstrate how its budget is balanced and how it will avoid massive cuts to core services,” said Dix. “Our team of critics, including seven new MLAs, will be a strong voice to ensure the government is held accountable.”

Avoid bats to protect yourself from rabies SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

One week after issuing the standard beat the heat safety tip reminder, Vancouver Island Health Authority officials have released another seasonal caution, this one a little more out of left field: do your best to avoid rabies. “Summer time brings sunny weather, longer days and more time spent outside,” said VIHA in a July 4 news release. “It also brings

with it an increased risk of contact between people and wild animals, particularly bats, and consequently an increased risk of exposure to rabies — a disease which, if not prevented quickly after exposure to the virus, is fatal over 99 per cent of the time.” VIHA said while rabies is rare in humans — there have only been two cases in the last 25 years — both were linked to bats and both were fatal. “The best way to avoid

rabies exposure is to avoid direct contact with bats,” said Dr. Dee Hoyano, A VIHA medical health officer. “Bats are not pets; they are wild animals that can be dangerous at times. Children and adults need to know that bats should never be directly touched or picked up, whatever the condition of the bat — dead or alive.” Should contact with a bat occur, and that means anything from touching one to

being scratched or bitten, assume you’ve been exposed to the rabies virus, Hoyano warned. Wash thoroughly with soap and water and go see a doctor. “In those circumstances, you must seek medical attention to have your exposure risk evaluated.” For more information call HealthLink BC at 811, the rabies information page on www.bccdc.ca or visit healthlink.bc.ca

B.C. budget is in deficit: Routley LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Recently re-elected Nanaimo North Cowichan MLA Doug Routley said late last week that he’s sorry to see the latest incarnation of the BC Liberal government following the example of its predecessors. “It’s become a sad tradition and an even more tragic expectation that the BC Liberals will campaign on lies,” he said June 27. “The budget is in deficit. They’re counting properties that are not sold in order to show it as balanced. Housing starts are down, retail sales are down, employment numbers are down, in fact, second worst in the country. “And they campaigned with a bus with a huge sticker that said ‘Debt Free BC’ but we see the debt growing again. In the last

two years, under Christy Clark, the debt has grown, both at a faster rate, both in dollars and percentage of the GDP, than in any other time in provincial history. And then, they campaigned on prudent spending when they gave huge salary increases to political insiders. Then, just yesterday [June 26] we found out their northwest transmission line is so far $51 million over budget. So, by the time it’s completed, it may in fact rival the convention centre at a half-billion dollar over-run. “It’s frustrating when you see that this government seems to feel that smoke and mirrors is an adequate replacement for honesty and public policy that works for people across the province.” Routley said he thinks it sets a poor example.

“I think of the students, when we debate whether they should get letter grades or comments on their report cards. The BC Liberal track record is teaching them that it’s okay to cheat on their tests and that two plus two really does equal five. If you say it often enough, the teacher might finally agree.” He said he’s upset that the electorate’s high expectations of government are “being whittled away.” There is a fall session of the Legislature on the calendar but Routley is waiting to see if it’s called. “ We ex p e c t o n e, bu t whether or not it will happen is in question. It’s in the calendar, it’s been promised, there’s a lot to be done in the province, a lot of business that has not been attended to in the past year. We need it,” he said.

Free fun for kids at Children’s Day LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Free fun and games for kids at Charles Hoey Park. Get into the swing of the Duncan Cowichan Summer Festival by enjoying Children’s Day, Sunday, July 7 by the train station. Everything gets underway at 11 a.m. and the fun continues until 3 p.m. There are performances galore: with Mamoudou — stilt walker and juggler extraordinaire — at 11, followed at noon by

children’s musician Mahri Sherlock, and at 1 p.m. with The Wizard, whose show includes balloons, stilts and juggling. At 2 p.m., children’s entertainer Norman Foote takes the stage and at 3 p.m. the kids’ fun ends with a hula hoop/poi demonstration. But that’s not all the fun on the menu. There will also be pony rides, a bouncy castle and slide, merry-go-swing ride and miniature train, plus there will be a chance to

play ball hockey with the Capitals and more. Island Savings Credit Union will have mascot Penny the Owl and its community crew on hand to help out with the fun, according to communications relations specialist Chris Waddell. “I think we have 13 staff suppor ting, helping to greet the people that come. We’re proud supporters of Children’s Day. It’s all part of our giving back to the community,” he said.

Matthew Del Campo was reported missing on June 17. He has now been located. [SUBMITTED]

Direct person to person contact has been made From page 1 Police say Del Campo’s friends reported they had seen him in the area, and that he had used social media to contact both family and friends. But that wasn’t good enough for police. They wanted to check in with him directly to ensure his safety for themselves. They were able to do just that after local media plastered his story on their websites and social media pages on Thursday. “The missing person has been located, fine and well,” Stuart confirmed Thursday at about 1:45 p.m., just four and a half hours after he sent out the first notice of the missing teen. “The North Cowichan / Duncan RCMP would like to thank the local media for a quick broadcast and follow up. “

OUR VIEW

We’ll wear that party pooper rep proudly hat goes through people’s heads that they see a little bit of nature and think, “That looks like a perfect place to dump my garbage”? This mindset is all too prevalent, and we see the results around our beautiful woodlands and riversides in the Cowichan Valley. The local ATV club recently cleared out massive piles of detritus left when lazy cheapskates decided to dump entire households’ worth of stuff rather than take care of it properly (which wouldn’t really have cost them that much — heck,

they probably could have at least broken even if they had bothered to hold a yard sale and try to sell some of the items they instead trashed and dumped). There’s really no excuse for that kind of behaviour. There are plenty of places that will take second-hand items. We were especially angry to see the piles of asphalt shingles that had obviously been discarded by someone in the roof replacement business. These folks charge customers a disposal fee as part of the price of the job, yet whoever dumped this stuff just figured they could

stiff everyone, including the public at large, by making the collective responsible for the clean-up. In today’s edition on page 3 we have a story about the (usually young) people, both local and from neighbouring cities, who think it is somehow their right to invade our local parks and wilderness areas and run amok. Not only are their alcohol- and drug-fueled parties dangerous for the partygoers, they’re dangerous for us all when they start lighting bonfires in the middle of the woods, in the middle of the summer.

You cannot argue this is done with any kind of due care and attention to safety. Drunk, high ravers are not who we want to see in charge of any kind of open flame. Then, of course there is the debris they leave behind; somebody else’s job to clean up their mess. That sense of thoughtless entitlement again, that really sets the teeth on edge. Many of these places are trying to be family friendly. These are recreation spots where people can take their kids for some outdoor fun in the summer sun. It’s not so much fun when the

to insure that none of the tree line facing the water is removed to create views from these homes. Enough already with the rhetoric and accusations. The fight was engaged and has come to a reasonable end, so let’s move on. As to Kate Marsh’s point re “affordable” taxes I would love to have that conversation.

Mr. Routley (and fellow MLAs): The letter is referring to the most recent article in the Cowichan Valley Citizen about the vicious pit bull attack on an innocent puppy in Chemainus, leaving the poor puppy severely close to brutally being killed, a responsible innocent owner being terrorized by the traumatic experience, maimed herself and a community is such disbelief that another horrifying story such as this has happened again! When are one of you leaders of this community ever going to stand up and ban these vicious creatures? Enforce more punishment on irresponsible dog owners with deterring fines, putting down attacking animals and compensating the victims? I’ve given up taking my dog for a walk and I’m growing increasingly frightened to go for a walk myself. They are banned in other places, why not here? Even if this recent attack was a child, a blind eye would probably be turned as it has in the past. They have killed in the past and they will continue to do so. These animals and their irresponsible owners, leave innocent citizens, pets and visitors at extreme risk of brutal attacks with very possible fatal outcomes. Since I have resided in the area for the past seven years, it has alarmed me that the number of attacks from dogs is greater then the number of attacks from bears and cougars. You response is welcome. P.S. Mr. Routley, kindly forward this to all MLAs of B.C. please. Linda and David O’Connell Cowichan

Do you know what this is? Fran Benton picked it up at a thrift store as a curiosity, and would like help with identifying her find. [SUBMITTED]

What in the world is this? I was shopping in Duncan at the hospital auxiliary store last week and found an object that no one could identify. I have taken it everywhere with no one being able to tell me what it is. It must have come from a Cowichan Valley

resident to be in the hospital auxiliary store. Could you appeal to your readers for any help they can give me identifying this thing? It was $5 and I was so curious I bought it without knowing what it was! Fran Benton Cowichan Valley

WOOD BURNING APPLIANCES AND AIR QUALITY BYLAW NO. 3089, 2013 Bylaw No. 3089, 2013 – bylaw to regulate wood burning appliances and air quality will be considered for adoption at the July 15, 2013 Council meeting. Wood burning, and in particular burning from noncompliant wood appliances, or during times when an air quality advisory is in effect, generates smoke, which contains fine particulates. These particulates can remain in the air for days and have the potential to penetrate deep into the lungs when inhaled and can affect lung function and worsen medical conditions such as asthma and heart disease. People with breathing and heart problems, children and the elderly may be particularly sensitive. The proposed bylaw which was drafted using the “Municipalities Tool Box for Wood Burning Issues” provided by Environment Canada will regulate what types of fuels can be burned and ensure that after January 1, 2014 non-compliant wood burning appliances are removed or replaced upon the sale or transfer of any real property. To view a copy of the bylaw or should you have any comments or questions, please contact Karen Burley, Director of Corporate Services via e-mail at karen@duncan.ca or by phone at (250) 746-6126.

LEASE OF PROPERTY PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to Section 26(3) of the Community Charter that the City of Duncan intends to renew a Lease with the Duncan Day Care Society (Arcadian Early Learning) for the property located at Lot A, Section 17, Range 6, Quamichan District, Plan 24353 (5650 Club Road) for a period of 5 years at the lease rate of $1.00 per year. Any person, who wishes to comment on the proposed Lease, may appear in person or by agent, the evening of the Regular Council meeting on Monday, July 15 at 7:00 p.m., or submit a petition or written comments to the Director of Corporate Services prior to the meeting. The proposed disposition and supporting documentation may be inspected at City Hall located at 200 Craig Street, Duncan, BC, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, excluding holidays, up to and including Monday, July 15, 2013.

Film Once Upon a Day...Cowichan takes home provincial award LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

The video that thrilled local audiences, Once Upon a Day…Cowichan, has won the first of what could be a string of awards. Cowichan ecomonic development guru Geoff Millar proudly showed off the award he brought home from a recent conference in Vancouver to two of its creative team, filmmaker Nick Versteeg and musician Eric Smith. “We received the BC Hydro Economic Development Marketing Award for communities larger than 20,000 for the video,” said Millar. “The judging panel is made up of people from all across Canada in the publishing, marketing and public relations fields. These are fairly high powered folks. They were really impressed with the Once Upon a Day video, thought it was absolutely amazing,” he said.

Cathy Lachman of Cowic h a n Va l l ey E c o n o m i c Development sent the submission about two months ago to the Planning Institute of BC where it joined over four hours worth of videos from 40-50 communities. “They decided to pare that down to a much more easily handled list and Once Upon a Day was naturally in there,” Millar said. Versteeg and Smith were delighted. “I think we also have to acknowledge all the volunteers, the musicians especially,” Versteeg said. “That’s what made this. Eric and I did the work but the people made it. All these people volunteered for it. That’s what was fantastic about this project.” It would have been impossible without the volunteers, Smith agreed. “That would have about a $150,000 to $200,000 prod u c t i o n o t h e r w i s e,” h e said. “It would never have

happened.” Versteeg agreed. “We’re always talking about community and that’s what happened here. Everyone got involved. And then a whole variety of businesses, our 15 sponsors, came on board. And of course, for each sponsor, we also did a five-minute video. They are also all on the website and can be seen as well. That’s the beauty of it. But there’s more. Averill Creek just took the video to China. They don’t have YouTube in that country so they couldn’t see it. They took the DVD and showed it to everyone they saw.” Smith and Millar said they, too, had distributed copies when they had travelled recently. Millar added, “We had two people in here at Economic Development this morning from China who are looking at buying a business in Duncan. An interpreter and a realtor were showing them

around and, of course, everybody got a copy of the video to take home. The exposure has been great and now we can add the tag ‘award-winning’ to the video as well.” Versteeg said the overall response has been terrific. “We have now reached over 50,000 views on Vimeo and YouTube and hope to reach 100,000 by the end of the year.” Millar said, “we have just received this morning another 1,000 DVDs and the Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce will be retailing them for $7.95 out of the information centre.” And of course, there could be more awards on the way. “The Vancouver Island and provincial tourism conferences and awards are coming up, too, so we’ll probably enter the competitions in those as well,” Millar said. “The tourism one, that s h o u l d b e g o o d ,” s a i d Versteeg.

Duncan Daze ready to take over downtown July 12-13 LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Clear the track! Duncan Daze is back! Yes, from 10 a.m. Friday, July 12 until Saturday, July 13 at 4 p.m., the city centre is alive with activities as the community celebrates its 34th annual midsummer celebration. The streets will be closed off for people to roam safe-

ly while enjoying delicious food and picking up fantastic bargains at the eagerlyawaited street sales. There are lots of fun activities for the kids as well as rides and entertainment, culminating with the annual Children’s Parade on Friday, July 12 which lines up for judging at 5:30 p.m. for a 6 p.m. start. That’s not all.

Rotarians are all ready to step up with their yummy Pancake Breakfast Saturday, July 13, from 8-11 a.m. in City Square. It’s a great way to fuel up for the big event. “What’s that?” you newcomers ask. The Grande Parade, of course. Starting at 11 a.m., it snakes its way through the

Garden Lounge in turquoise and white construction opposite the Parliament Buildings. “She is easy to handle and has a good speed,” he bragged to reporters. Predicted PSNC president Capt. Peabody: “The travel industry between the mainland is bound to increase. We built the ship because we were aware of the growing interest on the part of the American public to the many advantages of a vacation and holiday in Victoria and on Vancouver Island.” First to land their car, thus “marking the inauguration of a new automobile transportation service between the United States mainland and Victoria,” were residents Mr. and Mrs. Harold Johnson. Those who inspected the new ship expressed admiration for her spacious design and plush appointments. As indeed they should have, her owners having

proclaimed her to be “easily the finest vessel ever put into [Puget] Sound service... No cost has been spared in decorating and furnishing, making the Chinook comparable to the finest hotel in comfort and [offering] a feeling of welcome to the traveller.” After the dark war years, Chinook must have seemed a floating palace of colours and luxury. Her lobby walls were rose-beige, the rubberized floor rose-grey and the 14 staterooms were painted in calla lily green, with draperies of salmon hue, and cocoa-brown floors. The salon was decorated in the same colour scheme as her lobby with chairs in tones of rose-greens, walnut and yellow hues “creating a most satisfying effect. “Foam rubber gives added comfort to the furniture and the entirely doublestuffed frames of all pieces is an indication of the care with which details have

been studied. “Between the stanchions in the salon is a large, hand-carved Lucite map showing the typographical [sic] details of Puget Sound and the territory served by the PSNC.” The after lounge was a rainbow of mulberry and white with drapes of grey, chartreuse and deep violent, the furniture of deep magenta, turquoise blues, yellows and grey. The Garden Lounge, forward, was in turquoise and white, complete with flower boxes of live plants and furniture of tile terra cotta in red, turquoise, walnut, grey and yellow. And so it went, Victorians marvelling at the exotic hues and fittings. Even the “quickie” dining salon (coffee shop) was resplendent in chartreuse and vermilion. (Honestly, folks, I don’t make this stuff up!—TW) (To be continued) www.twpaterson.com

Riders ready at the start of the 2012 MS Bike Tour enjoy the annual Penny Farthing display by Experience Cycling, a tradition of the event. [SUBMITTED]

Mayor to be awarded Jubilee Medal The Town of Lake Cowichan slipped this announcement onto its Facebook page: “His Worship, Mayor Ross Forrest, has been awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal by the Governor General of Canada in honour of his significant achievements and contributions to the community.

Another momentous occasion for the Town of Lake Cowichan.” Forrest got his medal July 3. The net began to light up as comments and congratulations poured in for Lake Cowichan’s popular mayor. By Saturday night, Forrest had acknowledged them. “Thank you for all the support. I am humbled by this award. My achievements and contributions to our

community have all come as a part of a team, not me individually. They are because of my family, my 30-plus years with Appollos and now the great team we have with Town Council and staff. I will be proud to accept this award knowing it represents the assistance I have received from so many others,” he wrote. Mayor Ross Forrest

Safety first for Grape Escape

his year’s Grape Escape MS Bike Tour, is taking place Saturday and Sunday in the Cowichan Valley with a record 513 people taking part. Organizers are doing all they can to keep riders safe and have enlisted plenty of local help. Experience Cycling will be providing bike repair vans and guide cyclists on the route. Safety and event communication is covered by the Defenders Motorcycle Club who will be out riding the route as well. Drivers can expect to see plenty of cyclists over the weekend and after the tragic accident last month in the cancer ride, event organizers hope that drivers will be extra careful of the cyclists on the road. The routes take riders through the east side of Cobble Hill and out to Glenora on Saturday, while the 100k Century route goes as far north as Mays Road, and back through Cowichan Bay. Sunday the route is on the west side of the highway in the Cobble Hill and Shawnigan Lake areas. Feel free to give a cheer to the cyclists if they are going past your home; they will welcome the encouragement on what will likely be a very long, hot day. The MS Bike Tour is the largest fundraiser of the year for the South and Central Island Chapter of the MS Society. The funds raised are used locally to support those living with MS and invested in MS research projects to help find both the cause and a cure for this devastating neurological disease. The bike tour participants do their own fundraising either as an individual or through team events. To help reach this year’s fund raising goal of $500,000 you can pledge a team or participant at www.msbiketours.com The event is a bonus for the local economy too, as while on the route cyclists do plenty of shopping at local specialty farms, artist’s studios and wineries. In fact, last year more than $15,500 was spent in the Valley! Over 200 volunteers are organized to deliver a fun filled weekend for the participants. The event starts and finishes each day at the beautiful grounds of Shawnigan Lake School. For more information about the event, and to view route maps, go to www. cowichanvalleygrapeescape.com

WRIGHT - Winifred ‘’Elsie’’ Lorna Simpson (nee Pendreigh) September 7, 1921 - June 26, 2013 Passed away peacefully at her beloved ’Innisfree’ with her family and her two wee dogs by her side, June 26th, at the age of 91. Lorna Pendreigh was born in Edinburgh, Scotland Sept. 7, 1921. Lorna met Ernest, her future husband, at the tender age of 11 while holidaying in Kilfinnan, Scotland, they were married in Scotland on August 8th 1940. Lorna and Ernest emigrated to Canada with their children Douglas, Gordon and Carol in 1949. Then with another 4 children in tow settled in West Vancouver, where Mum, a most gracious hostess and tremendous cook, made everyone feel welcome and at home. Mum and Dad retired to Salt Spring in 1969. Mum’s loves were of course Ernest, who predeceased her in 1999, her children first and foremost, her pets of all varieties from cats, dogs, peacocks, deer, geese, to her parrots and of course her two wee dogs Jessie and Sassy who never left her side right until the end. Mum had an enduring love of music, god and nature. No one will ever forget Mum playing the piano at our many family gatherings, the massive family expeditions(convoys) and her love of flying in the helicopter with Gordon. The good memories too many to write. A kinder, more gracious soul has never been taken from this earth. Mum’s 7 children: Douglas, Gordon (Claire), Carol (Merv), Keith (Jody), Randall (Terry), Janet (Harvey), Heather (Milt), 15 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren are left to celebrate her wonderful life. Donations to the Lady Minto Hospital, Salt Spring Island or the SPCA appreciated in lieu of flowers.

Elise Wright passed away on June 10, 2013 after a brave battle with cancer. She was born on November 11, 1921 in Risca, Wales. Predeceased by her loving husband William and her son Gordon and his wife Chris. She is survived by her daughter Sylvia and grandsons: Sean (Jennifer), Philip (Liv) and Ryan Irg; also grandson Geoff Wright and granddaughter Annie Wright; and her many friends. A special thank you to Isabel and Marg for their support and caring. Elise was a long time resident of Duncan and spent many of her early years as an elementary school teacher; as a mother raising her children and later enjoying the company of her grandchildren and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cancer Society. A tea will be held in Elise‘s memory on July 13, 2013 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. at the Silver Park Clubhouse, 2885 Boys Road, Duncan, B.

Former Cap Paterson headed for Div. III ranks Troy Paterson, who played 148 of his 150 career B.C. Hockey League games for the Cowichan Valley Capitals, has secured a Div. III NCAA scholarship with the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The undersized defenceman played for the Caps from the start of the 2010/11 season until midway through the 2012/13 campaign, when he was traded to his hometown Surrey Eagles. In just his second game with Surrey, however, he sustained a seasonending injury. In his 148 games with the Caps, Paterson tallied 15 goals and 41 assists for 56 points. He also notched a goal and an assist in seven playoff appearances. The UW-Eau Claire Blugolds

Coach reflects on Capitals’ 2013/14 BCHL schedule KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Bob Beatty doesn’t have too many complaints about the Cowichan Valley Capitals schedule as he prepares to embark on his first season coaching in the B.C. Hockey League. “It’s never going to be perfect, but that’s the way it worked out,” he commented. The BCHL released its regularseason schedule last week. The Caps will play 58 games in the 2013/14 regular season: two at the league Showcase event in Coquitlam, which count in the final standings, 28 home games at the Island Savings Centre, and 28 road games. After playing their first two games at the Showcase, where they will face the Prince George Spruce Kings in a “home” game and the Trail Smoke Eaters in a “road” battle, the Caps play their actual home opener against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs at the Island Savings Centre on Saturday, Sept. 14, with the puck dropping at 7 p.m. After finishing up the homeand-home with the Bulldogs, the Caps are back in Duncan on Sept. 21 and 22 to host the Victoria Griz-

III Northern Collegiate Hockey Association, and won the 2013 national championship. “They showed a lot of interest in me for an extended period of time,” said Paterson. “Obviously, looking at their history and the success they’ve had last season and in the past, it was a big contributing factor.” SCAN WITH

of the way early in the season,” Beatty noted. While most of their divisional rivals are on the Island, limiting ferry travel, the Caps do travel to Powell River for five games, which is never an easy trip. Two seasons ago, the team got stuck there because of inclement weather, and it won’t be any easier making that trek this season. “Especially this year, with construction on the terminal, it will be challenging,” said Beatty. To make sure they get home, some of the Caps’ games in Powell River are scheduled for 1:30 p.m., which is tough on the players coming off games on Friday and Saturday nights, which will happen on Oct. 20 and Nov. 10. The team also has a planned overnighter in Powell River, playing back-to-back games on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. In all, the Caps play nine games in September, 11 in October, 12 in November, six in December, 10 in January, nine in February, and one in March. Their last home date is on Feb. 28, against the Victoria Grizzlies. Their last road game is also against the Grizzlies, on March 1.
